Obito had planned to place the members of the Akatsuki under a large Genjutsu that he had been working on for months. It had been nearing Halloween and once again Tobi had become obsessed with the holiday.

"Tobi, I told you, we're too busy!" Obito had yelled in the solitude of his personal hideout.

"But Obito! There's candy given away and people dress up as spooooky~ monsters or characters and go around tricking each other if they aren't given candy! Wouldn't it be fun?" Tobi persisted. "And wouldn't it be even more fun to get the rest of the Akatsuki in on it?"

"That's not going to help us achieve Madara's 'Project Tsuki no Me'!" Obito shouted as he popped a lollypop into his mouth. "Besides, they're all S-Rank Criminals; none of them would care for something as childish as Halloween."

"I don't know about that Obito. A couple of them are still pretty young so maybe they would like to participate at least." Tobi continued though it seemed that Obito was ignoring him now. "I know!" He cheered after a moment of pause. "What if instead of dressing up we play a huge trick on them and at the end of it offer them some candy? It would be really fun, and if it was my persona no one would be able to get too worked up!"

"Idiot, they all would get severely worked up! You're annoying at the best of times and as I've already said, they're S-Ranked Criminals, all of which have little patience!" Obito was not wanting to cause his own death this soon, not when the perfect world was within their reach. "Drop the subject." He commanded.

This greatly upset Tobi but for a time he did, well, for all of five minutes leave the subject at rest. "Oh hey, I know!~" Obito sighed heavily. "How about this?" He began, attitude overly cheerful, something that Obito was always cautious towards. "If you let us have fun this Halloween, I'll stop asking you about poop for a whooole~ month!" Betting it all on his understanding that bodily function questions greatly disturbed Obito, Tobi waited, breath held.

"Make it two." Obito countered, hardly missing a beat, relieved at the opportunity to finally have some peace from the disturbing topic which Tobi seemed to be obsessed with. Along with that, though he would not openly admit it, he was looking forward to meeting all the new recruits and possibly lining his pockets with some sweets.

"Deal!" Tobi cheered. 'Though I may not be able to ask you about bowel movements for two whole months, you never argued about all the other topics of human bodily functions.~' The swirly white Zetsu clone thought gleefully.

"Ahh!~" Tobi cried as he rolled back and forth, holding his head which throbbed in pain. "That wasn't a fun trick! Tobi wants candy now!" He whined, sitting up and looking around. "Huh, where is everyone? Hellooo?~" He called out, hands cupped around his face like a megaphone. "That's weird... Is the meeting over already?"

Standing up Tobi began to search the room, finding all the doors to be locked, leaving only one to go through or to use the Kamui and just slip through the doors and walls which obstructed him from moving in the direction he so chose. "Hm, I wonder where they all went. I can't even sense their Chakra anymore." He pondered, tapping a finger to the chin of his mask.

"This doesn't make any sense." Obito cut in, looking at the surroundings as they walked through the open door. "I know none of them really like us but I doubt Pein and Konan would let us remain unconscious as everyone left. We'd hardly even begun the meeting..." He looked out of the window at the rain, watching lightning streak across the sky. He hated weather like this.

"Maybe everyone decided that they needed to dress up for this special occasion? Though, I don't think some of them need to dress up to be scary..." Tobi shivered at the thought of Kisame. "Maybe he could cover himself in blood, have it dripping from his mouth like a shark attack!"

"This isn't a joke!" Obito scolded, running a hand through his hair. "We need to find the others."

They made their way down the stairs of the Tower, walking through room after room, still not sensing where the others could be located. there had been a scream which echoed off the walls a moment ago and they decided to try and track that but all they had found in the possible location was a shut door. More screaming could be heard inside but they were unable to make the door budge.

"That scream sounds different, more desperate, huh Obito..." Tobi commented, voice trembling ever so slightly. "S-should we maybe help?"

"The door is locked," Obito said in thought as he pulled the handle. "I guess we'll try Kamui." Obito decided, activating his Sharingan and moving forward.

Nothing happened besides the two running into the door face first.

"What was that Obito!?" Tobi cried as the Uchiha lifted his mask and grabbed hold of his nose for a moment.

"I don't know! Kamui isn't working!" Obito yelled back as he checked to see if his nose was bleeding. "I'll try again, but just the hand this time." He said putting his mask back down.

Obito placed his hand against the large metal door and focused on using his Kamui, closing his eyes in the process as he pushed his hand forward. He didn't feel the pressure anymore and instead felt his arm slip through something. Figuring that he had accomplished the task of phasing through the door he opened his eyes back up, ready to celebrate but what he saw before him nearly made him vomit on the spot.

Rin stood, blood pouring from her mouth as she coughed, rain falling heavily down on her and Obito's heads. She held onto Obito's arm, grasping it tightly as her breathing began to fail, a choking gurgle beginning as frothy blood came up. The life from her eyes started to fade as she called Obito's name, a weak smile playing on her face, fading fast. She lost her grip and her knees collapsed, sending her to the ground. Obito instinctively caught the girl before her head collided with the wet ground, holding her tight to himself.

His eyes widened more and he looked around in shock once he was able to pull his attention away from his friends face. They were outside now, in a clearing of the Village's streets, watery blood spilled everywhere along with unrecognizable bodies. A scream ripped through the air, echoing harshly through the tall buildings of the Village. A younger Kakashi stood off to the side covered in blood and wounds, his single good eye shown, wide with fear as lightning tore through the sky followed by a crack of thunder.

"Obito... Obito, what did you do..?" He choked out, voice hoarse and quiet.

"What, no..." Obito started, looking from Kakashi to Rin and back. "How..?" He looked down at Rin and then let her body fall to the ground, the sound sickening as she collided into the bloody puddles. He stood up quickly to distance himself from her lifeless form, taking a few staggering steps back. "This is not reality!" He yelled, ripping his mask off to stare, eyes wide as rain fell down his now maskless face.

"Obito! How can you say that?!" Kakashi yelled, his voice strained as he took a step forward and pointed at Obito. "Look at yourself! You're covered in her blood!" Obito looked down at himself and his breathing became hard to catch while his stomach lurched upwards threateningly. He gagged for a moment before regaining some control of his bodily actions.

"This was only supposed to be a Genjutsu; a Halloween prank!" He panicked, looking at the blood dripping from his hand. "I wasn't supposed to be trapped in it too!"

Kakashi was in front of Obito now, shaking him back and forth. "Snap out of it! This is real!" Kakashi yelled as he choked on a sob. "You killed Rin, Obito! She's dead!" Obito just continued to stare at his blood-drenched arm.

"Tobi... Tobi, something went wrong, really wrong!" Kakashi snarled at this, punching his comrade across the face, sending him tumbling backward into the bloody puddles.

"You've lost it!" Kakashi said, pulling a Kunai out and gripping it tightly. "Rin is dead because of you! This is all your fault! You should have just listened to me instead of trying to prove you're better than everyone else!" Kakashi fell to his knees in front of Obito, raising the Kunai into the air.

"Tobi! We need to release this Genjutsu!" Obito tried to make the Hand Seal, Ram, to end this trick but Kakashi plunged the Kunai into Obito's heart before he could.

"You idiot, always fooling around. Wake up to reality!" Obito felt a burning pain in his chest where the Kunai was buried, a slow numbing sensation starting to take over as blood poured out of him.

Blood fell from Obito's mouth as he watched Kakashi stare down at him with sorrow and hate. "Rin..."

"Hello..?~" Tobi called out as he walked in pitch darkness, shuffling his feet in an attempt not to stumble. "Obito~ where'd you go?" He whined as at the lack of the Uchiha's presence. "This isn't fun anymore... Can we stop the Genjutsu or whatever it is that's going on?

"Tobi..." Came a whisper as cold air rushed past the Swirly Zetsu.

"Ah! Who's there? Reveal yourself," Tobi commanded with a shaking voice. "And also, maybe turn on a light? Please?"

No one responded for a while. The room was in complete silence as well as darkness. Tobi couldn't even hear the storm outside anymore nor feel the thunders vibrations through his feet or his hands that clung to the walls.

"Tobi, come, join us." The voice, Shiro's voice, called out. The sound echoed off the metal walls in a haunting way.

"Um... Tobi doesn't like this..." He responded, feeling his way around, hands pressed against the wall as he moved. "I want to stop this now." He pleaded once more.

"Tobi, you can't stop this." Shiro cooed and Tobi felt a shiver run down his spine. "You're such a good boy Tobi, why don't you come home?"

"N-no thank you..." Tobi squeaked as he grasped a doorknob his hand had brushed against. "I'll just leave now..." He pulled on the door, twisting and turning the knob in all ways but it did not open. "Please, let Tobi out." He begged, pulling more frantically as he felt breathing on the back of his neck. "Please!"

"Tobi~" Shiro's voice sang in the other's ear. "Time to die.~"

"NO!~" The Swirly Zetsu cried, banging on the door as something wrapped itself around all his limbs. "No, no, no, no, NO!"

There was the sudden feeling of wood and excruciating pain, the feeling of his body sinking into a substance. He was being absorbed into something that he couldn't see. Tobi struggled and cried out, his voice echoing throughout the room as he felt hands grip him and pull, another pair pressing his head down. Finally, he was submerged and the pain, so agonizing, finally stopped. Nothing existed anymore.

{**A/N: Ah, sorry this one is shorter. I changed the order of these last three characters and Zetsu's was really long and I didn't have time to make this as detailed as I wanted. Boo~

Anyway, what did you think? I had blood in this one, though I didn't add a lot of details. (Sorry~) And Tobi's part was shorter because it was pretty much the same thing that happened to Shiro Zetsu.

What did you like, what did you dislike and what do you think would have made it better?

I love your feedback!

Until next time, thank you for reading, My Darling Sweetsparks!~**}
