Sorry for the late update guys, there was a lot happening in the past two weeks that left me too overwhelmed to write. Moreover my laptop stopped working so I couldn't write. I got a new laptop but that didn't let me sign in to my email so I was unable to download office and hence couldn't write again.
Well long story short, I have my old laptop fixed and here is the new chapter.
For those of you that don't know, i had written a shikatema fic before i left. The Perfect Girlfriend. do check it out and let me know what you guys think.
In an older a/n i had said that i'd try and update every 3-4 days, but it really is not easy to do so. hence I will try and update every 7-10 days. Cause not only is it hard to write a new chapter every 4 days i honestly cbf to write one as i'm at a part in the story that is kind of lacklustre to write, don't worry the story will be nice to read it's just that i want to write the ending chapters so bad as i love the idea i have for it.
I'd like to thank all of you that gave me some amazing ideas for the 2nd phase, much appreciated. i'll try and incorporate as much of it as i can.
This chapter goes out to a guest reviewer Narutokun95. I can't find your profile so i'm assuming you're a guest. This person is such an amazing and supportive reader, constantly reviewing my stories. Thank you so much, and i hope the delay didn't kill you :P
To Mint- i hope your questions are answered in this chapter.
Once again, thank you everyone that support my stories. It feels so good to know that there are people out there who enjoy your stories.
Chapter 7: What You Mean To Me.
'Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu.'
Suddenly a large dragon of fire formed from the air expelled by Obito. Quickly going and taking out the sharks; the dragon headed straight for Kisame.
The water used in Kisames jutsu was now in the form of tiny droplets falling to the ground.
Everyone stood in shock, not having seen this particular justu before. Kisame quickly jumped upward to get out of the path of the oncoming fire dragon.
That is some jutsu to be able to take out my sharks with such ease. But that's the speciality of my four shark shower; it doesn't matter if you nullify it. It's still going to hit you. Kisame grinned still in the air.
Behind him he heard a loud hissing sound and the splash of water.
Suddenly his grin turned into a scowl as he realized what happened.
Turning his head back Kisame saw as the fire dragon hit his water clone leaving behind a puddle of water in its wake.
The target of Obitos attack was never the real Kisame, he had meant for the fire dragon to hit the clone all along.
Obito had purposely aimed for the left side of Kisame when attacking him.
He was getting Kisame to move according to his will in order to get him along the same path as the water clone. Once he was in position he used his jutsu making it look like he wanted to hit Kisame but in reality he intended for the clone to get destroyed or atleast break the water prison so that Kakashi would be free.
Next to the puddle, down on one knee was the silver haired nin.
Looking up Kakashi saw as a shower of sharks fell on his best friend slicing him up.
Kakashi saw as his best friend fell backwards to the ground.
Kakashi saw as blood started to seep from his best friends wounds while he was on the ground unable to do anything to help Obito.
He mentally cursed himself at once again being unable to save his best friend.
. .
The first thing that he saw when he opened his eyes was a bright white light. He squinted his eyes so as to allow his pupils to constrict and adjust to the bright surrounding. He started to feel the exhaustion take over his body and he let out a low groan.
As soon as the sound escaped his lips he faintly heard a voice call out his name.
'Obito.'
The voice was feminine and sounded rather familiar. He grimaced as his vision improved so as to reveal a person entering his view.
Obito immediately felt a weight on his chest as someone clutched onto him whimpering lightly.
He winced from the pain the contact caused him causing the person hugging him to instinctively let go and pull their weight off of him.
As his vision slowly began to focus he noticed a female hovering over him. She had short brown hair reaching till her shoulders, she also had a purple stripe tattoo adorning both her cheeks.
She had tears welled in her eyes and the boy could see that a few had already left trails on her face.
Obito lifted his right hand to her face in order to wipe her tears away; he immediately felt a sharp pain surge through his arm causing him to close his eyes and lower his arm.
He felt his hands being grasped by a pair of soft hands. Opening his eyes he saw as Rin laced her fingers through his while her other hand gently stroked the back of his palm.
Looking at her face he saw that she was still crying inaudibly.
'Why are you crying Rin?' Obito asked, his voice was raspy.
'Do you have any idea how scared I was?' Rin said. 'I, We thought you were going to die. Kakashi and I have been sitting in this room for three days now and you ask me why I am crying.'
Three days, I've been out for three full days.
Taking a moment to look around the white room Obito saw a lean silver haired man leaning against the far wall near the window.
'Do you know what you mean to me Obito? I love you you idiot. You and Kakashi are my boys, my precious people. I don't know what I would do if I lost either of you. And here I was waiting for three days in this hospital room hoping and praying that you open your eyes. We were unsure if you were going to even make it. You were bruised up so badly in that fight; moreover you lost so much blood from Kisame's attack. And who told you to do that stupid ass fire dragon of yours. You had completely exhausted your chakra you know, it was a miracle you weren't already dead before I started using medical ninjutsu on you. Do you know what it's like sitting around helpless; unsure if your best friend is going to live or die. Can you even grasp what it must feel like for me, having to deal with the fact that you may lose someone so close to you all over again.'
'I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD AND THAT I HAD LOST YOU; THAT'S WHY I'M CRYING YOU IDIOT.'
By now Rin had completely broken down and was sobbing uncontrollably.
In an instant Kakashi was by her side, consoling her as she sobbed into his chest. While gently stroking her head, Kakashi looked towards Obito and smiled at him crinkling his visible eye.
In that one silent gesture all words were exchanged between the two of them, and Obito understood that his best friend was happy to see that he was fine.
Closing his eyes Obito sunk into the bed. He was extremely curious to know what exactly transpired on the battlefield after he passed out though he was grateful that he and his friends got out of it unscathed.
Obito knew now wasn't the time to ask his friends what happened, that could wait till Rin had calmed down. So for the moment he decided to just rest until Rin was in a better mood.
. .
Looking up Kakashi saw as Obito fell to the ground. He lay there bruised and unconscious losing a lot blood.
Blood boiled through his veins as the worst scenario played itself through his mind. He couldn't deal with losing Obito all over again.
'Rin don't rush in. Wait for me to get Kisame away from Obito, once I have done that go to him and see what you can do to heal him. Keep Mr Zaku by your side at all times, don't forget he is the priority of the mission.'
Having said that Kakashi grabbed a few shuriken and tossed it towards Kisame.
Having heard their conversation and not in the mood to be moved around like Obito had done earlier he dodged the oncoming shuriken by moving closer to Obito.
Just as Kisame had dodged the shuriken he felt the left side of his arm get cut as 2 shuriken appeared from behind causing Kisame to immediately flinch and move away from Obito.
Kakashi had anticipated Kisame moving towards Obito rather than away, and in order to give Rin some space to work her medical jutsu, Kakashi had attached wire strings to two of the shuriken that were thrown closest to where Obito lay.
As soon as Kisame had jumped towards the fallen Obito, Kakashi manipulated the shuriken by tugging on the string causing it to immediately come backwards and cut Kisame.
'You're a crafty one aren't you. You won't be in a while.'
Kisame immediately started weaving hand signs.
Kakashi pulled out his white light chakra sabre, that was handed down to him by his father, and charged headfirst at Kisame.
'Water style: Water Bullet Jutsu.'
'Chidori.' Kakashi yelled as he let his lightning chakra flow through his tanto allowing him to channel his chidori through his blade.
Kakashi easily cut through the stream of water as he made his way towards Kisame.
Dodging just in the nick of time, Kisame jumped to the branch of a nearby tree.
'That's quite an impressive technique.'
Suddenly Kisame stopped speaking and looked into the distance behind him.
Grinning he turned back to the group.
'Well looks like the fight here is over. I have a feeling I'll be seeing you again. Kakashi Hatake.'
With that he jumped off the tree and disappeared into the forest behind them.
Rin immediately got to Obitos side and started healing him with her medical jutsu. Zaku was just behind her and was by her side a moment later.
Walking up towards the three of them Kakashi saw Rin shaking uncontrollably while administering her chakra through Obito.
'What's the matter Rin?'
'His chakra is depleted, I don't know if he will survive, though his external injuries aren't severe he has lost a lot of blood. Not to forget the exhaustion he must be facing after two big battles. I can't lose him again Kakashi.'
Kakashi could see the tears rolling down her cheeks.
Suddenly they heard a rustling coming from the bushes in front of them. Everyone tensed up while Kakashi got into a fighting stance.
From the bushes a group of three men and a woman appeared. They were wearing the traditional Mist jounin gear with mist headbands.
'State your purpose.' Kakashi said.
'Don't worry. We aren't enemies, we came here after our ANBU spotted Kisame near our village. We were sent here in case he encountered your group. I hope you remember that Doctor Zaku is our guest afterall.' The woman spoke.
'Kori, go help the girl aid their fallen comrade.' She said and a tall, fat mist shinobi approached the group.
Kakashi held onto his tanto tighter as the man approached.
Sensing the groups hesitation he smiled at them. 'Sorry, we know you're on edge. I would be too if I had just been in a battle with I'm assuming it was Kisame. Right now your friend needs our help. I assure you I come in peace.'
Loosening his grip, he allowed the man to pass by and help out with Rin.
'The report on what happened over here can wait for later; let's get you guys within the mist walls so we can treat your friend. Let's go.' Kori said.
With that Kori scooped up Obito in his arms as the group made its way towards the hidden mist village.
. .
Leaning against the headboard Obito sighed. He was grateful for the mist shinobi arriving on time. If it wasn't for them Kisame may never have retreated and he may have been dead along with his friends.
Kakashi was standing at the foot of the bed while Rin sat in the chair beside the bed as her fingers drew circles on the back of Obitos palm.
'Well I guess I ought to thank the guys who helped us.' Obito said.
'Probably do.' Kakashi said which caused Rin to chuckle.
'Mr Zaku is doing well if you were wondering. He even made you some ointments like he promised; they helped greatly with your wounds.' Rin said.
'That's good to know. Honestly speaking, I would just like to go home now.' Obito said which made the group laugh.
'They said we can travel back a day after you wake up, so rest up we have a long journey back tomorrow.' Kakashi said.
. .
The journey back to Konoha was rather uneventful which pleased the group. They had had enough fights and run-ins with rogue ninja for one mission. They were more than happy to get back home with minimal loss of time.
By the time they got into the village it was nightfall, the streets were relatively empty as merchants got ready to head home for the day.
Turning to face the group Kakashi spoke.
'I, uh, I gotta go somewhere. See you guys later. Get some rest Obito, okay.'
And with that Kakashi turned around and left the two of them standing in the middle of the street.
After Kakashi had disappeared, Rin walked in front of Obito.
Taking his hand in hers she cupped his face.
'Don't ever scare me like that again. I can't lose you. Do you know what you mean to me.'
With that Rin stood on her toes and lightly placed a chaste kiss on his lips.
