Chapter 11 - Obito's Training Date

Waking up at my normal time period, I wiggled away from the army of Akatsuki kitties that surrounded me. Walking around them as I entered my bathroom to relieve myself, I came back to see some of the early risers waking up. Itachi, Kakuzu, Pein, Obito and Konan. I smiled at them as I gave each of them a good morning kiss. The boys shifted a little oddly as Konan pawed at my pajama sleeve.

"You all want to become human?" I asked as Konan looked back at Pein who nodded. I smiled as I opened my bedroom door to let them out. I nodded for them to follow me. After all of them got my chakra and hot showers. They came down stairs while I softly vocalized for the other members and left a note for them to say they could shower as well. Heading down stairs I saw Kakuzu and Obito was still in the showers as Pein and Konan sat, fully dressed, at the island for breakfast.

Getting some eggs from from the fridge I started to make everyone some omelets with green peppers, onions, tomatoes, bacon, sausages and a side of hashbrowns. Setting them up as I cooked I saw Kakuzu make his way to the coffee after Pein grabbed his from the hot pot. Obito sat down at the islands last seat as I prepared the food. "Rei we are training today so make sure you eat enough to last you a few hours before the first break."

Turning to see Obito dressed in the athletic clothing I had gotten him. Smiling at him as I set the plate down before the members of my children I nodded as I got a plate for myself. Standing against the counter I saw Kakuzu bringing in a chair from the dining room. And before I could go get myself one I saw him walking back with another for myself. Him setting it down, I smiled and said thank you. He responded with a gruffed sound as he drank his coffee and ate his share of breakfast.

Breakfast was silent as I ate. I don't think I ate this much before, I'll have to take snacks and a lot of water if I am going to be learning anything from this lesson. A few members walked downstairs after a while. They each grabbed their own food for breakfast as they set out for their day. Once I finished eating I started the clean up so nothing would be sitting this afternoon around lunch time. A few members finished eating as more showed up from sleeping and freshly showered. Serving them as they came in I finally made my way upstairs to get ready for whatever Obito's training would be.

Getting dressed in a tank top and jogging pants, I pulled my long silver hair into a ponytail as I put on some sneakers before walking downstairs. As I walked into the living room where most of the members had gathered I heard the phone ring as I walked past it. Taking a moment to see how showed up on the caller I.D.

Seeing the information I quickly answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey my little Star, I'm calling you to remind you of your concert coming in a few days." my manager stated with his voice filled with joy. I smiled as I thought about my up and coming concert. It was true I had forgotten about it and the last I heard it sold out with the first few weeks of the announcement of its location. In fact I forgot and only thought of my bigger concert that was next month. Taking a moment I looked around the room, everyone stopped what they were doing and watching me.

"Sven, can you get me 10 backstage passes made for some friends of mine? I want them there as I perform." I asked which got the attention of every member since they were about to go off doing their own thing.

"Sure thing darlin'. I'll mail them to you today. Have a good day my dear Star." And with that I hung up and turned to Obito who was looking at me oddly.

"What?"

"We're going to one of your concerts?" Obito asked with an raised eyebrow.

"If you want to...I mean I'd like it if you all could come." I stated as I felt a little nervous, they could turn down the offer.

"We'll think about it, for now we need to go to that beach to train and get you started." Obito stated as he walked outside towards the backyard.

Waving goodbye to the other member I walk up to Obito, ready to start walking to the beach. Of course I wasn't expecting him to pick me up princess style. "U-um…."

"This way is faster than walking." With that he took to the trees as I clung to his shirt. I heard him chuckling at my actions as he jumped from tree to tree. Eventually we got to the beach faster as he landed on the sand. Slowly he put me down as I stood on shaky legs. "Heh, you look like a baby deer trying to stand for the first time."

I pouted as I righted myself. He laughed and patted my hair as I waited for him to start telling me what I was supposed to do. As the training day went on I learned that my dance lessons for my concerts really helped my stamina and coordination. I got many tips on how my dancing could be used as fighting. After a few hours I was sitting down on a rock with Obito sitting next to me watching the waves. Opening the bag I had carried with me, I held out a bag of trail mix for him. He looked confused for what it was but none the less he took them and opened the bag. I sipped my water as I ate my apple.

It was calming sitting out here with him, not that I could say that with most people. But Obito was one of my children and I'd never forget the time I spent out here. It was calming, and very relaxing. I felt Obito shift around me, causing me to turn to see what he was doing. He was looking down the road a little bit and not at me. He seemed to be thinking on something.

"Rei, for the next step I want you to run from over there to here. I'll time you."

Finishing the apple quickly, I set the remainder of my water on the rocky sand of the beach. Standing next my son I readied myself as I wait for him to tell me to go. After he started his timer I took off, I was always light on me feet so getting there was easy enough as I turned around and ran back. Stopping just before running into him he stopped the timer. He looked like he was thinking of something stressful with how his face turned into a frown. The wrinkles on the other side became more noticeable from it. Silently I wonder if I was doing it right or if I did something wrong.

"You're fast and you have good coordination. If you ever became a ninja you could have been one of the strongest I've seen." He stated as he looked like he was thinking of something.

I frowned and held his face in my hands, this seemed to shock him before his face softened. "What are you thinking of Obito?"

"Just, you reminded me of Rin for a moment." he stated in a soft voice. I frowned slightly, I had no real knowledge of the Kakashi Arc where Obito's past is explained, I just know that the girl Rin dies and Obito gets scarred.

Pulling my son down a little as I hugged him close, I petted his hair as soft trimmers flow gently off him. Whispering soft sounds to him I held Obito close as I wait for him to return to me from the past. Eventually he slowly came back, standing up straight, in a way towering over my 5'5 with his 5'9. His eyes closed from some point of the time he spent being held and when his opened them I saw that the past still haunted him. Giving a small smile I went to speak.

"While I'm not Rin, know that I love you okay? You can't change the past but you can look forward to the future." I state as I gently touched the wrinkled part of him. "The past can only make us stronger but only if we don't dwell on it."

"Giving up the past is not easy for me, while I understand here our world is your entertainment, but to us it was our life." He stated as he closed his eyes again. Gently I held his hands as I waited for him to relax out of the tension he put himself in. It was true that before now I always thought of the anime world as fiction but now somehow fiction has become a real thing in my life. But that also means that their pain was very real to them and if I can help it, I want to limit how much pain they feel now.

Hearing him sigh I see him looking at our hands, slowly taking hold of it as I waited for him to speak his mind. It was silent except for the waves of the beach. The sn was slowly moving to the three quarter part of the sky, it made me wonder if the other had eaten. Seeing Obito slowly let go of my hands I saw him thinking of something, but his face didn't look as haunted as before. He turned to the waves before he spoke. "The world is truly unkind to most of her people…"

I sighed as I knew it was true, turning my gaze to the waves as well I waited for the silent time to pass. I felt myself become relaxed with the waves as the rolled against the sand. Obito was watching them with interest as they went by I found myself speaking before I realized it. "It's true Mother Earth is unkind to her people, but she did give me the chance to meet you and your group."

I smiled up at him as he looked down at me shocked, soon I saw him leaning further down. I didn't even register what he was doing until I felt the warm lips on my forehead. I froze as he did, when he pulled away I looked at him shocked, and slowly my blush became apparent on my face. He laughed a little as he lightly touched my head, I felt him smooth out my long silver hair before he brought up a strand to his lips.

"Indeed she did. And for it I am grateful." I was slightly shocked as I stared at him with wide eyes, all the blood rushing to my face to the point I think I might pass out. "For now, shall we continue you're training?" With that he let go of my silver hair and lightly pulled my hand to walk with him down the beach. "Every training needs a moment to tell your students how you love them."

Love?

Staring at the large back of Obito I couldn't understand what just happened as he turned and looked back at me with a smile as he lightly pulled again to get me to walk down the beach with him. His hand still holding mine as he continued to smile. I started to wonder though...was this love he spoke of one for a parent and child? That's the only one I knew how to give…

After a while longer I noticed he was kinder in his teachings, which shocked me a little. After all, he was already kind with me in the first place. As he ran home with me in his arms I could feel my heart picking up speed. Slowly I willed my emotions to slow down, besides theses were my children, the only love for them I was allowed to have was parental. Being set down on the ground I smiled the best I could at Obito who looked proud for something as walked inside to start dinner for my children. Though I wondered why he was smiling the whole time?

Obito's POV:

Running at high speeds was great to feel. Rei had a good concept for her training that it wouldn't take her long to become one of the strongest I've ever seen...but that's not what put me in a good mood. After steeling myself up for kissing her forehead I saw she had many faces. Determination, Compassion, Love, and many more that she directed at myself and my members that it would easily mistake her for our own mothers. But in that moment I kissed her, she showed something else I never seen on her… Innocence.

Seeing her face turn red with her blush was something I didn't expect but it was rather nice to know I caused it. Picking her up in the beginning was because it was faster, but at the end of the training it was to see her face turn that lovely shade of red again. I must figure out way to get more of that color out of her.

Watching Rei work around the kitchen made me think she would make a wonderful housewife. Shaking my head to stop that thought process I saw Itachi walk over and lend a hand in cooking. I frowned lightly after all I wasn't the only one smittened with our lovely 'mother'. I'd be surprised if even Konan wasn't confused on her feeling for the silver beauty. While I knew she was young, if I recall from the pet store she saved us from, she stated she was 19. A good age for starting a relationship…

Seeing Itachi work with her so closely made my feet move before I had a chance to stop them. Soon I found myself helping with the cooking. I knew i wasn't the best cook amongst the group of killers I had gathered, but seeing Rei with Itachi set my nerves on fire. Why I wasn't fully sure but in any ways I knew I wanted to stand by her.

Seeing the food she was making, it was a homemade pizza. I couldn't help but recall the pizza she order when I had accidently broke the oven. I watched from the spot she asked me to work on as she skillfully worked on the meal for us. My guess in waiting her was that she never made this before, but after careful waiting I saw the small mistakes she did before correcting herself.

She does so much for us. I believe it's time we returned the favor.
