ALL OF THE FLUFF! Enjoy.

Pyrrha sat with a deep frown on her face as she watched over the boy laying in the hospital bed before her. When he'd fallen into the ring from above she had no idea how to react. She recognized him instantly as the same boy she'd fought and, in her personal opinion, lost to months ago during the tournament. She'd kept an eye out on the web for anything that could be related to him but never found a thing.

Then he all but falls out of thin air, and of course there was the blood. The moment he struck the ground red liquid splattered all across the arena floor, she was almost ashamed to admit it but she'd screamed.

Nobody had any clue what happened as the schools medics rush in and performed emergency treatment while they moved him to the nearest hospital as fast as possible. It wasn't until the next day after hours of surgery that he was announced as stable. She was taken in and questioned by police, she wasn't in trouble as it was clear that it had been an accident, but it was standard procedure when dealing with any gun shot wound. Still she couldn't help but feel extremely guilty when she found out that a stray round from her gun had flown up into the rafter where they say he'd been sitting and struck him in the chest. The round had struck one of his ribs upon entering his chest.

After shattering the bone the bullet tore through his left lung while shards of bone from the rib tore further holes in the lung as well as his right lung and caused minor damage to his heart. On top of all of this he had lost a very dangerous amount of blood before he could reach the hospital.

The doctors had been unable to find anything on the boy in terms of medical history, during surgery however they noted his entire right side had terrible scarring including some of his internal organs. They said it was beyond a miracle the boy was still alive, then mentioned it could be weeks before he woke up.

To say they were surprised when he awoke screaming and sobbing only two days after surgery would be an understatement.

"How is he?" Pyrrha heard looking to the door. Her mother entered the room holding a plastic bag.

"Same as before." The younger Nikos answered sadly. "He's still crying." She said referring to the small stream of tears falling from his right eye.

"Yes, the doctor said they started giving him an IV to replace the fluids and sodium he's losing. Apparently they've never encountered another case like this." Namoi told her daughter as she set the bag on a nearby table and pulled a small box from it and gave it to the younger girl. "Eat Pyrrha." She told her.

With a sigh the girl nodded and opened the box that held a salad with slices of chicken in it.

Patch

Kakashi grabbed the hose and began rinsing the soap from the fur of the dog in front of him, his sleeves were rolled up and he was wearing shorts. It was bath day for all the dogs currently at the academy and he'd managed to get all but this one clean. It's had taken a while and a lot of effort to keep them all still but he managed.

He'd noticed the crow watching him from a nearby branch a while ago but didn't say anything. He didn't know nor care who was spying on him, if it were Obito he probably wouldn't have been able to notice as easily so he could safely right that off as a possibility. Anyone else wasn't his concern, if they made a move against him he was confident in his ability to defend himself.

it wasn't until he finished washing the last dog and stood up that the bird flew off. Walking inside he changed back into his usual clothes and grabbed his scroll, opening it he noted that he had a new message. Leading all the dogs into their pins for the evening he began locking up the shop.

The new message was from Yang of course, she wanted to know if he wanted to see a movie in Vale with her. "Hey Qrow." He said without looking up from the scroll as he locked the front door.

"Sup kid." The drunk man said as he walked down the sidewalk in front of the shop.

"Just closing up shop, how can I help you today?" Kakashi asked finally turning to look at the older man.

"I'm just making my way to the liqueur store." He shrugged.

"No you're not, the liqueur store is on the other side of the street. Both the road that leads back to Tai's house and the docks are on the other side of the street as well. The only things on this side of the street are here, a library, a Mistalian restaurant that doesn't serve alcohol, an antique shop and the local fire station. None of which have anything that would interest a guy like you, so what do you want Qrow?" Kakashi met the huntsmen's gaze.

Qrow lost his smile. "Fine, let's talk at the bar."

"On the other side of the street." Kakashi added following behind the man across the road and further down until they entered said bar.

The door man attempted to stop the obviously under aged Kakashi but was waved off by Qrow. The teen to a booth in the corner after waving to the bartender. Sitting down Qrow layered his gaze on the boy. "I just got word from my boss that and kid with one arm, one eye wearing a mask that matches the one worn by 'Blank' during the tournament was severely injured and taken into a hospital in Atlas several days ago. He also matches the description of the kid I saved you from in Mistral."

Kakashi took in the information silently for several minutes, he didn't react when a server walked over to the table and place a glass of what was clearly alcohol in front of Qrow and a soda in front of him. "I see, how was he injured?" Kakashi finally spoke.

"A stray bullet got him in the chest, took out a lung." Qrow explained. "Technically he hasn't really broken any laws, even trying to kill you happened in lawless territory in Mistral. That being said if you want we'll take him into custody and bring him here, you won't be allowed to touch him, and he wouldn't be allowed to touch you either. However you'd still have a chance to talk should you decide to."

"No." Kakashi didn't hesitate to answer. "He and I will settle our issues ourselves on our own terms. In time he will come for me and one of us will die, perhaps both of us, it doesn't involve anyone but the two of us." Kakashi told the man without leaving any room for argument. "Besides, you would never be able to hold him against his will. No chain or prison on Remnant could stop him from walking out the front door should he wish it."

Qrow nodded taking a long swig from his glass. "Alright, I'll let Oz know. Though I do have one more thing I need to talk to you about."

"What's that?" Kakashi asked grabbing the soda on the table and cracking it open.

"Yang." Qrow said narrowing his eyes.

Kakashi sighed. "Alright, go ahead."

With Obito

Pain was the first thing Obito noticed as his consciousness began returning to him, his chest felt as though it were on fire. Slowly he began forcing his eyes open, white ceiling, consistent beeping nearby, smell of disinfectants in the air. He was in a hospital, but why? Closing his eye once more he began thinking, he'd been watching that girl fight, then closed his eye, finally a pain in his chest followed by blackness.

He must've been hit by something while his eye was closed. "Good afternoon." He heard someone speak as they entered the room, his body tensed slightly but he decided to play possum for the moment. "Sorry I'm late but I stayed behind for some extra lessons after classes finished." The familiar female voice spoke again, it was the red headed girl he'd been watching. "I spoke with the doctors, they said you were recovering at an incredible rate, even faster than fully trained huntsmen with strong auras."

That made sense, he still had cells from the first hokage inside him so it was to be expected that he'd heal far quicker than normal. "They didn't think you'd wake up for at least another week and a half but now their saying you'll probably be up in just a few more days. I'm really excited to actually meet you ya know, maybe actually talk to you." He heard her laugh without any actual humor in her voice. "At school most of the kids treated me normally, then I won the tournament. Now they all act differently around me. It was cool at first, then I realized they didn't really see me as a person anymore."

Obito remained motionless as he listened to the girl speak. "Some treat me like an obstacle to overcome now, some just avoid me because I'm becoming more popular. Then there's the boys." He could tell just from her voice she was blushing brightly. "I've been asked out on dates by boy's from every grade at my school, but I can tell none of them actually care about me. They just want to be seen dating 'The Champion'." He heard her let out a tired breath. "That's why I'm so excited for you to wake up, you beat me. Despite what the scoreboard said or what others think, you won that match, I didn't stand a chance against you. I know it sounds selfish, to want to be friends for a reason like that, but nothing would make me happier."

He could hear her standing up. "I'm really sorry I can't stay for long today but my mother sighed me up for an interview on the news today, I'll be sure to come by again tomorrow. Bye Blank." He listened as she left the room, after several minutes he opened his eye.

A moment later he disappeared from the hospital bed completely.

Days Later

Obito balance on one foot at the center of the lake, his body was healing up nicely. As much as he didn't want to he'd been taking it easy to allow himself to recover, only simple chakra control exercises. That wasn't the only reason he was so annoyed though, ever since he'd woken up he hadn't been able to get that girl out of his mind. The things she said has resonated with him to an infuriating degree.

For the longest time the only think he'd ever wanted was someone to call a friend, but he was the outcast Uchiha. He couldn't use the sharingan, his parents were dead, the girl he loved instead loved the only person he may have considered a friend. Now he was even lonelier than ever, he was in a world where no one knew him aside from the one he'd sworn to kill.

The icing on the proverbial cake was that the girl looked so much like Kushina, the woman who'd always been so good to him. Most didn't know, likely only his teacher Minato knew, but she'd been a confidant to him. She'd been the only person he'd actually confessed his feelings for Rin outright to, she didn't mock or tease him over it either. She'd always treated him with kindness when they were alone and he repaid her with betrayal.

The water around his foot began to bubble as his chakra grew more and more unstable.

Finally opening his eye he set his other foot down on the surface and took a deep breath, the water below him returned to normal. "One time, I'll see her one time." He finally relented before activating Kamui.

Atlas

Obito stood before the house he'd been looking for, it hadn't been all that difficult to find really, all he had to do was walk up behind a teacher at her school and hit them with a simple genjutsu. It was funny, before he activated his sharingan he sucked at genjutsu, afterwards he could throw low to mid level ones around easily. He still couldn't use higher level ones sense he'd didn't have his arm for hand signs but so far he hadn't needed any. Civilians and even most huntsmen on Remnant had pretty much know way of defending against even the most simple illusions. It made sense he supposed, aura didn't work like chakra and grimm didn't use anything like genjutsu so why even bother worrying about such things.

One genjutsu later he had her address and now here he was. Taking a deep breath he walked up the walkway and passed straight through the front door. Her school had let out only ten minutes earlier and she was still walking home, he'd checked. So he walked up a short flight of stares and found the room he was reasonably certain was her and entered.

He walked over to a chair in front of a small desk and took a seat. He sat silently waiting for about twenty minutes simply thinking about what he was going to say, his mask was missing from his face. She already knew what he looked like, the hospital had removed it while he slept.

He heart began pounding faster when he heard the front door open and close, then he heard the footsteps begin making their way up the stairs. When the door to the room finally opened she didn't seem to notice him right away. So with a nervous voice he made himself known. "My name is Obito."

So like I said this was a bit of a fluffy chapter, leave me a review and let me know what you all think. LATER.
