bleuxe AN: it hard to tell if anyone is actually enjoying this story, but the views are pretty high on here. Don't be shy to comment I love to read them! I don't own Naruto this is Thinking and Dreams.

Hinata was running what seem like a long tunnel towards the light. It seem like she was running in place because the closer she got to the light the farther it seemed to move. She hearing something behind her, but she dare not to look back. When she stop running the light disappeared altogether.

Hinata woke-up with a gasp from the weird dream not sure when she fell asleep in the first place in a strange bed completely naked. Suddenly remembering she was at Obito's base. she sat up looked around because Obito was no longer in the bed with her. Getting up putting on her bra and underwear along with her mesh shirt.

Is when she noticed Obito's room was strange. First off it was huge and very cavernous looking with high ceilings. There warmth circling the room somehow because it wasn't as cold as it should. There looked like to be a throne in the middle of the room with the same walker next to it that he took when he was disguised as that old man.

Finally she found Obito with his back turned to her hunched over a table with a desk light as he intently staring at his x-rays. Hinata slowly approached him, he was also half dressed but he had his black slacks on with no shirt on. She marveled at his back muscles as well as at the many scars littered across of his body. Look at the right side of his body just seem unnatural pale skin tone compared to the left side of him.

Hinata wasn't sure what came over her but she put her hand at the small of his back to see if she could feel any comparison as he shivered from her cool hand. Before she could apologize he broke the silence first.

"Good morning," making her frozen as her heart rate spiked not wanting to believe that she was asleep that long.

Then he began laughing as she began frowning.

"You shouldn't lie like not!"

"What if not lying and you have a whole search party looking for you right at this second?" Obito coyly suggested looking at her from the corner of his eyes. Her facial expressions were just priceless at times.

"I would say your getting easier to read without your mask," Hinata said and couldn't help, but to admire his smile wishing he would smile more often. That is when she noticed his hand that she bit the two fingers were fully healed as if she never marred in the first place.

"You patched yourself up medically?" she asked holding his hand in a examining way.

"No genetically..." As tapped on his x-ray giving her indication of what he was talking about now facing her.

"Why put a seal on your heart and what do you mean by genetically?"

"In my early teens I was in a near fatal accident where half my body was crushed by a two ton boulder," as he ran his hand down his right side of his bicep.

"My old mentor happened to saved me. Since I was in a vulnerable and unconscious state he implanted the seal along with the first Hokage's DNA," Hinata was astonishment by him actually opening up to her and by the story altogether.

"So he helped you just to curse you...why do that?"

"For insurance Hinata. When I finally agree to help him I assume his role and his name Madara Uchiha,"

She knew that name it sound so familiar and the it hit her.

"Argh none of this make sense in the history books he was killed by the First Hokage and even if he would be alive then he would be ancient, but you just being alive is has be some proof that your telling the true," she swore that she was getting a major migraine from this because she was thinking that Obito had to be deceiving her some where with this tale.

"Clearly just because people in Konoha think I'm dead, but here am I. Then again they never came back to even look for my body even if I was covered by rubble," he shook his head chuckling how ignorant the Leaf was to a lot of things that their information was completely obsolete.

"B-But why did you agree to help him even if he saved?" Hinata wanted to know why and she want to say that he could have came back, but decided not to say that after he seem hated the idea of going back to Konoha.

"I lost someone very precious to me and I just didn't care anymore..." he said so lowly with his eyes looking empty that it literally hurt her heart. Hinata suddenly reminded of the tombstone that was next to his which was Rin.

"This is not what I want to talk to you about. I want to know your plan on why you became a medical nin and how would it help me?" Obito asked steely going strictly back to business feeling he got too deep with her on complete accident. He just wasn't ready to talk Rin and he might never be able to talk about her.

To the byakugan princess it was as if he put his mask was firmly on because his face was devoid of all emotions. It sort of scared her how he switch off his emotions like that. She explained to him that the only way she could help was to give him a heart transplant.

"With Lady Tsunade making medical advancement under her leadership. I thought best course of action would be to become a medical nin, since become a sealing master would take years and I don't think you want a seal on top of a seal?"

"No I wouldn't want that because if you even touch it by the slightest my heart would pop like a balloon. my seal is like a exploding tag," Obito spoke so casual about it while Hinata was reeling from the imagery.

"S-So as soon as I pass my exam I'll ask the head nurse of the ER if she could transfer to surgical department-" he automatically cut her off.

"How much time will it take for you to become a proficient surgeon?" he asked intrigued by her solution.

"Depending how fast I pick up on anatomy and it may not be brain surgery, but the heart is just as complicated especially with your case," she said hastily looking at his x-ray now.

Hinata was so different from other kunoichi, any other kunoichi would more interest in the bounty on his head,and was one of the reason why he usually stay away from relation with them. Obito's mind starting to go blank while watching her matterisms, how passion she was getting about medicine and how she truly wasn't trying to use him.

"What I'm thinking there no comparing the two..." he felt like a dagger was twisting in the pit in his stomach because he felt like he was betraying his love for Rin. The rouge nin was very silent after telling her she should get fully dress before it got too late.

They both materialize near the crossroads back to Konoha and it felt like the energy was off to Hinata. Obito looked like a storm was brewing inside of him and she couldn't keep quiet about it.

"Obito you can't suppress your emotions forever even as shinobi it can really hurt you," she was speaking from experience making him stop in his tracks.

"Are trying to read my mind Hinata?"

"I'm telling you to take care of yourself," she didn't know when she would see him again, but she knew would see him again.

Hinata held the side of his cheek and placed a kiss on his lips. He watched her as she walk back to the Leaf village that longing look she gave him after the kiss almost made him want to snatch her back to his lair and he knew right then he was fighting a losing battle here.

Least than a week later Hinata felt like her whole world was crashing down because she got news that Jiraiya was killed in Amegakure.
