Not gonna lie, my entire body is throbbing and I can barely think straight so bare with me. Enjoy.

Obito frowned beneath his mask, he was deeply disappointed. Littering the arena around him were the unconscious forms of every other combatant in his block, none had posed any challenge. A small amount of blood stained his fist after a few of his punches broke through the aura of a some of weaker ones. He was careful to hold back enough to not do any real damage, though he was pretty sure he'd broken a few ribs.

Only once in the entire fight had he needed to use kamui to avoid an attack and that was only because it had been the first time he'd encountered a firearm before. The stadium was mostly silent, the cheers had stopped just about half way through when it became clear it wasn't as much a fight as a one sided slaughter. Some had begun rooting for the remaining teens against him while a small handful actually shouted words of encouragement towards Obito himself, he didn't really pay attention regardless. It was clear that many watching were disgusted by the brutality with which he dispatched each fighter.

As he began walking towards the exit of the arena the announcer seemed to have found his voice. "Uh, that was... uh match one. The winner and combatant moving on to the next round is... Blank!" He shouted with forced excitement. "I think the medical teams should get down there now." He said sounding like he'd stepped away from the mic.

Obito continued to make his way towards the locker room to wait until his next match.

Kakashi laid back against the tree in the shops yard with his eyes closed, he could hear two of the dogs running towards him and held out his hand. After a few seconds a slightly wet tennis ball was dropped into it, without opening his eyes he threw the ball across the yard and the two dogs took off racing after it, both wanting to be the first to get to it. He'd been doing this for a little over ten minutes and couldn't imagine being more relaxed.

"Hey Cyclops." He heard a familiar voice spoke from nearby.

"Hey Yang." He replied without moving. It had been a few days since the blonde had first come by and talked to him and she'd been coming by everyday since. He didn't really mind the company.

He heard her hop the fence and walk over as the two dogs came back once more with the ball, this time she took it from them and threw it. "Honestly I think you're the laziest guy I know, every time I drop by you're either starting a nap, in the middle of one, or just waking up." She laughed as she watched the dogs chase the ball.

"That's retirement for you." He shrugged.

"Retirement, that would imply this wasn't your first job." She looked at him.

"I use to be a highly trained assassin who specialized in high impact stealth operations and combat with other such assassins." He replied with a deadpan tone.

There was a brief silence before Yang could be heard laughing. "Cute and funny, a winning combination."

Kakashi snorted in response. Sitting up Kakashi finally looked over to the girl, she was once again wearing her school uniform. On her wrists however were something new. "Never took you as the type for jewelry." He said gesturing towards the large bracelets.

A wide smile appeared on her face. "What's a woman without her accessories?" She said raising her arms and making the bracelets shift into what looked more like gauntlets. "We finally finished our weapons in class today and these babies are mine, I'm still working on a name for them though."

"I guess with a weapon like that you're the brawler type, I had a friend like that." Kakashi smiled under his mask. "He was a weird one that's for sure, always challenging me to different kinds of competitions like races, rock paper scissors, even to see who could eat the most. Called me his eternal rival." Kakashi laughed. "Still though, he was one of the most genuine and hardest working sons of bitches I've ever met."

"Is he..." Yang trailed of gently.

"Dead? No, Guy is way to stubborn to die. I wouldn't be surprised if he out lived us all." He said shaking his head. "No, after my village was destroyed by a giant fox grimm he decided to go off to become a huntsmen, I took a different path as you can see." He gestured towards the yard with half a dozen dogs lounging around.

"True, still I'd like to meet him some time. Anyway I was wondering." She said grabbing her arm some what nervously. "Would you want to come over for dinner to night at my place. We always have a big dinner and watch the finals whenever there's a big tournament going on, me and my family that is. Even my uncle tends to drop by to watch with us." Her face was slowly growing more and more red as she spoke.

Kakashi looked at her with clear surprise before shrugging. "Sure, I'm not doing anything else tonight." Even he did know why he'd decided to agree. Before coming to Remnant he would've shut such an offer down almost immediately, but now he couldn't find a reason to refuse. Ever since deciding to retire and coming to terms with the fact that Obito would come for him sooner or later, he felt almost at peace. It was odd to say the least.

"Really, cool! Be at my place around six, see ya then!" She shouted excitedly before running back to the fence and hopping over before running off.

Kakashi shook his head once again before turning to the grumpy old form of Bandit walking over and plopping down next to him. "She didn't tell me where she lives." He chuckled as he began scratching behind the dogs ears.

Mistral

It had been two day since his last match and Obito was growing frustrated, so far every one of his opponents had forfeited after being paired up with him granting him the win by default. He was slotted to fight in the finals, he hoped that the one who was strong enough to reach the finals conventionally would have more of a back bone. Of course he couldn't completely blame those who quit, he had given a a very brutal display in decimating the entirety of his original block without taking a single hit.

Obito watched the final match of the semi finals with very mild interest, it was between a large teen age boy, likely between the ages of fifteen and sixteen. His opponent and the one currently leading the match was a girl with long crimson red hair. Her skills were admirable when compared to those of the other combatants in the tournament. She was easily high genin to low chunin in terms of combat, Obito however was far beyond that.

When he'd been crushed by that boulder he'd been a remarkably average chunin, after gaining the mangekyou and the cell of the first hokage as well as learning from Madara however that changed. He'd been able to fight on equal terms with Minato Namikaze, the man recognized as the fourth Hokage and fear by all other nations, even if he was defeated in the end. Even with out training in his eyes new form he managed to slaughter an entire platoon of Kiri hunter nin. Of was beyond the level of most S-class ninja and even some Kage, compared to him these children were hard pressed to even be considered a threat. Even without the ability to cast jutsu he'd defeat them all with ease.

His hand moved up and grasped where his arm once was and scowled, without it he was incapable of weaving hand signs and had therefore lost nearly his entire arsenal of jutsu. Luckily his sharingan didn't require hand signs so his primary abilities were still available to him. "And moving on to the finales is none other than the rookie from Sanctum academy, Pyrrha Nikos!"

Obito looked back up to the screen and saw the girl that would be his opponent, if she didn't forfeit like the others that is. Standing he began walking towards the exit of the locker room, he was hungry and needed to eat. Shortly after exiting he found his way towards the concession stands, people all around him would do a double take when the saw him and would quickly move out of his way.

Approaching a small food stall he reached into his pocket and pulled out a few lien cards and placed it on the counter before pointing to a picture of a grilled chicken sandwich and then to a bottle of water. The man behind the counter nodded quickly before preparing his food and began counting the lien in order to provide change, Obito didn't wait however. Instead he grabbed his food and began walking away while ignoring the mans calls to come back. Obito was fully aware his drastically over paid but simply didn't care, he'd stolen the money in the first place and if he needed more for whatever reason he'd just take it.

"At a tournament when you should be getting us our money, the boss won't be happy when he hears about this." Obito heard a raspy sounding voice from nearby, the speaker sounded as if they chain smoked four packs a day. Out of pure curiosity he walked towards the voice, in between two large tents set up were a pair of men standing on either side of a middle aged woman with red hair and green eyes.

"I am getting the money I promise, my daughter will be fighting in the finals and I've bet everything on her winning. The odds are against her but I know she can win." The woman pleaded. Obito raised an eyebrow beneath his mask, this was the mother of his next opponent and she was betting money on their fight. At the very least this told him she wasn't likely to back out of the match like his other opponents. "I've already made over half of what I owe by betting on her earlier matches, nobody expects a fourteen year old girl to win but my Pyrrha is a born champion."

"I see, so that's it. Well for your sake I certainly hope she wins otherwise you'll have to find some other way to pay, though maybe your daughter could help with tha-"

"NO!" The woman shouted suddenly. "This debt is mine and my late husbands to deal with, she has nothing to do with it! None of you will ever touch her, do what you will with me but not her."

It was at this point that Obito turned away and continued walking, he'd done horrible things before, but the people he'd done them to were primarily shinobi. Trained killers that could fight back, the idea of threatening a woman with her daughter was absolutely disgusting. As he walked he noticed a thin looking dark skinned girl with green hair walk past a man and nimbly pick his wallet out of his pocket. Walking over to her he shoved his sandwich still in the bag in her arms surprising her and walking away. He'd lost his appetite.

Kakashi scratched behind the ear of Thief. "Good job boy." He told the dog as he looked down the hill at the large wooden house with smoke rising from it's brick chimney. "Come on." He said getting a bark of acknowledgement from the old dog.

Walking down the dirt path towards the house Kakashi began smelling food being prepared. Reaching the porch he walked up to the door and gave several firm knocks. After a bit less than a minute the door opened to reveal a man, the same man that had been with Yang and her sister when the first dropped off Zwei. "Can I help you?" The man asked clearly recognizing the boy though with the way his eye was covered and most of his face was hidden it wasn't very difficult to do so.

"Is that Kakashi?" He heard a familiar voice from inside as Yang appeared behind her father. "Hey, what took you so long?"

Kakashi gesture to the dog sitting next to him. "You forgot to tell me where you lived, so I had to improvise." She laughed a bit looking embarrassed at that.

"Dad you remember Kakashi from the dog school, he's the friend I told you I invited over." She said clearly making an effort to ignore his previous statement.

"Really, this is your friend." He said examining Kakashi with narrowed eyes. "You failed to mention he was a boy." He said looking to eldest daughter.

"Oh please dad, we're having a family night and watching the tournament not going on a date." She said rolling her eyes at her father and gesturing for Kakashi to enter. Kakashi looked up at the man who just stared at him for several seconds before nodding and allowing the teen to enter. Following the pair inside Kakashi entered the homes living room and quickly pointed towards were Zwei was lying down on a large pillow in the corner and clicked his tongue. Thief walked over towards the younger dog and dropped down next to him with his head on the pillow as well.

"Come on, dinners almost ready." Yang called back to him.

Nodding he followed her to the kitchen where he saw the other girl that had been with her when they dropped Zwei off, likely her younger sister, sitting at the table. "Oh hey it's you!" She smiled jumping up from where she been sitting, on the table were several text books and sheets of paper.

"Ruby, have you finished your homework yet?" Taiyang asked walking over to the large pot sitting on the stove.

With a groan she stopped and trudged back to the table, Kakashi couldn't help but smile at that underneath his mask. Yang sat down at the table as well and gestured for him to do the same. Sitting Kakashi leaned back a bit. "So you mentioned a tournament, what kind of tournament is it exactly?" He decided to speak first.

"You've never watched the Mistral Regional Tournament before?" Yang asked surprised.

"No, I've never been much of a sports fan." He said shrugging.

"It's a combat tournament, it hosts the best junior fighters from across Mistral and southern Atlas. The winner not only gets a large prize but also is basically guaranteed a scholarship to any combat school on Remnant." She explained earning a nod from the boy.

"Stew is ready." Taiyang called out from the stove.

Ruby threw her arms up in a small cheer. "Did I hear someone say stew?" Kakashi's eyes widen at the familiar voice of the person that just walked into the room. Whirling around his one visible eye met the gaze of the very same man that saved his life from Obito.

"Qrow." He said quietly.

Looking nearly as surprised. "Oh, it's you. And you talk now."

Mistral

Obito stood at the center of the arena once more, the moment he'd been announced the wave of boos and jeers began. He did even react, these people meant nothing to him and their opinions meant even less. "And our next fighter, making her debut as Huntress in training with a very bright future ahead of her Pyrrha Nikos!" At that the boos morphed into cheers.

The redheaded girl looked visibly uncomfortable being at the center of everyones attention, something he could somewhat relate to. Before he admittedly went of the deep end he was the best with public speaking or having all eyes on him. "Ignore them." He spoke startling the girl and even himself a bit. "Their just a distraction, I am your opponent. Keep your eyes on me, your sole attention on me, I am the only person in your world right now." He told her meeting her eyes with his one.

Closing her eyes for a moment she took a deep breath and nodded before reopening them. "Thank you for the advice."

Obito shook his head, he didn't know why he felt the need to help her in anyway but apart of him wanted to. "I came hear for a good fight, if you're distracted I won't get that. Now get ready, we're about to begin." Just as he said the the buzzer rang and Obito launched himself forward.

So if you guys haven't figured it out I'm pairing Kakashi with Yang, pretty obvious I know. Let me know what you all think in the reviews. LATER.
