I'm so sorry about not updating practically all summer. D: I've been focusing on my art lately, and just haven't written anything. But, I shall change that, and work on this ficcy really hard. o3o I think I'll set a deadline for myself to finish it. :D I promise to have this ficcy finished by my birthday, October 21st. (That means it's super updating time. n3n)

Speaking of birthdays, I would be ecstatic if someone were to write a birthday ficcy for Rei. n3n It can have any plot, use any characters, and basically be anything you want it to be. You can keep her in character or make her OOC. It's up to you. :D If you decide to do it, please send me the link. I'd love to read it. o3o

Alrighty, on to the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or else Tobi would have cackled when he was talking to Pein and Blue. XD

Obito dragged two chairs a one corner of the room, which he had noticed in his hours of waiting, and placed them at opposite sides of a small table. The table was positioned underneath several of the many windows that took up much of the wall space of the large room. He seated himself in one chair and motioned to the other.

"Seat?" He turned the word into a question. Rei shook her head.

"No, Tobi-kun. I think I'd rather stand." Rei only gave Obito a glance over her shoulder as she strolled gracefully to a window near him. The afternoon sun radiated off of her face as she opened it. The small triangle shapes of her left eye whirred around the white pupil, moving much faster than they usually did. She turned around to finally face Obito, and used the windowsill to lean on. Obito could tell that Rei knew that this wasn't going to be a conversation. He waited patiently as her eyes focused on him.

"Okay, I believe I'm ready now, Tobi-kun. What do you want to know?" Rei's voice sounded cheerful, but it didn't stop the uneasy feeling building in Obito's stomach. He was nervous, yet he couldn't completely understand why. It was Rei he was talking to, the girl who had brought him back to life, yet he was afraid to ask her questions? She had set aside her time for him, and he sat there, staring at her. Obito shook his head slightly to stop his train of thoughts.

"Erm, could you just tell me the basic facts about you before I ask anything else?" Obito twiddled his thumbs as he sat. Rei smiled at his opening request.

"Why, of course, Tobi-kun. My name is Inuzuka Rei. My birthday is August twenty-seventh, and I'm currently seventeen years old, although I'll be eighteen shortly. My mother is Inuzuka Tsume, and my father was the Yondaime. I have three siblings; Inuzuka Hana, Inuzuka Kiba, and Uzumaki Naruto. I have a nin-dog named Kimaru. I don't have a specific specialty when it comes to my fighting style, in my opinion, and I work with ninja-in-training at the dojo. I'm part of a special ANBU team, and before that I was just a normal ANBU member." Rei stopped speaking and glanced at Obito. When he didn't say anything, she cheerfully added one last fact. "Oh! And my favorite foods are cucumbers and dango."

Obito contemplated what she had said for a moment. He already knew most of it, and the rest were just trivial things. It didn't seem like he could ask anything based off what she said, so he mentally dived right into his list of questions and chose one at random. The one he chose happened to be one of the more important ones.

"I know you must get this a lot, but what does your eye help you do?" Obito asked tentatively, trying to choose his words carefully. It was obvious that Rei was prepared for this question.

"Why, lots of things!" She seemed obviously pleased that he had asked such a simple question. "Because of this eye, I can soul search, which is basically going into the Void and finding souls that have been detached from their bodies, yet haven't passed on. I can see auras, too, which is probably the most important function. Well, maybe I shouldn't exactly call it an aura. In reality, it's your soul. And, every soul is different. These differences make you unique, since they determine who you are and your future. Every characteristic of a soul will tell you something about that person. For example, yours shows steadily, which means that you're a loyal person. Souls of people who easily abandon and betray others flicker. Souls are colored, too, which tells you how long a person has to live. Almost every soul is one color, and bi-colored souls are extremely rare. There are numerous other characteristics I could explain to you, but that would take weeks of constant talking, so I'll just tell you about them in due time. Being able to see souls is also helpful in combat, too." Rei stopped talking, but Obito wanted to know more about what she had just said.

"How so?" He asked.

"Well," She began, taking a deep breath. "your soul is generally shaped like your body and is attached to it until death, unless you have abilities like mine, of course. And, whenever you move, it moves the same way you do. But, and here is the key to it, your soul moves before your body. Because of this, I can tell exactly what you are going to do before you do it. My eyes are, excuse me, my eye is similar to the Sharingan in that aspect." Rei smiled widely when she finished speaking. Obito could tell that she was proud of this comparison.

"So, you know what I'm going to do before I do it?" Obito questioned, noticeably intrigued by what she was saying. Rei nodded.

"But I only know less than a second before you do it, so it's not like I could I could tell you what you're going to do." Rei explained, and Obito sunk a bit. That would have been cool.

"Are you the only one who has an eye like yours?" Obito asked. He had never heard of anyone else with such abilities. Rei hesitated.

"Technically, yes. But, that's because I'm the only female Uzumaki, blood-wise, currently. My eyes, erm, my eye is my kekkei genkai, called Terigan, which is only present in females of the Uzumaki clan. It's recessive in males; they don't have it themselves, but they can pass it on to their children. I have no idea why, and I've never been able to ask anyone. My clan has always been small, so there weren't that many with the Terigan to begin with. Sadly, within the last few generations, the women of my family either died because of their abilities or chose to not have children because they didn't want anyone else to experience what they had." Rei paced along the window as she spoke. It seemed as if she didn't talk about her clan often, and it was troubling her.

"But, what's so wrong with having your abilities? They seem pretty useful, in my opinion." Obito expressed his opinion, and Rei stopped moving. Her head turned to look at him, and she looked a little shocked.

"I suppose they are, but many people aren't able to handle the undeniable future of those with the Terigan. I mean, having to live with lost lives on your conscious must kill them in the slowest way possible." Rei rubbed her hands together as she focused on them. She looked like she was about to cry.

"Rei, I'm confused again." Obito didn't like continuing with the subject. But, he decided, it was better to know now than to bring it up later. He wouldn't ever want to do this to her again.

"The Terigan isn't well known because it's a double edged sword. Yes, I can bring souls back from the void. Yes, I can repair bodies. But, if I do both together more than once…I have to give up my own life." Rei rubbed the back of her eyes with her sleeve and looked up at Obito, forcing her voice to not shake as she calmed herself down. She wouldn't cry in front of Obito. She'd make sure of it. "Each Terigan user is responsible for bringing two people back to life, both physically and spiritually. Each of us can only tell which two people we are to bring back to life because they have bi-colored souls; their souls are their natural color, but they are also orange, the color that shows the Terigan user that they must bring that person back to life enventually. The orange color goes away after their trip to the Void." Rei wiped her eyes one last time before she looked like she had before.

Obito thought back to the Void, trying to think of what color his soul had been. After a moment, he remembered a flash of blue …and then another flash of color. Obito stood up, his chair hitting the wall loudly, and moved to Rei. He had to hear her say it himself.

"Rei," Obito put his hands on her shoulders and their eyes met. His heart beat quickly. He needed to know. "what color is my soul?!" Rei hesitated.

"It's blue, Tobi-kun." She stated.

"And how was it colored before I died?!" Obito had a feeling of dread form a knot in his stomach.

Rei looked at him, her eyes showing a bit of sadness.

"It was blue then, too. And also orange."

Short update, I know. D: I wanted to make it longer, but I needed to end it there to stress that point. Terigan is supposed to mean 'Sunshine Eye', but I'm not sure if I translated it correctly. Does anyone know if I did/the correct translation?
