So I'm gonna try to get this out before the 30th, wish me luck. Enjoy.
Kakashi sat in the chair across from from Ozpin, it had been several hours since his explanation and the sun had long since set. The elevator dinged and the doors opened to allow two more figures to enter the office. Glynda and Qrow walked over, Qrow stopping next to Kakashi and placing a hand on his shoulder. "How ya holding up kid?" He asked pulling out his flask.
"Better than your liver." Kakashi smirked.
Qrow snorted. "Smart ass."
"Well now that we're all here, Mr. Hatake, I believe you mention a possible way of bringing Obito Uchiha here?" Ozpin spoke up, after their earlier conversation the pair had spoken at length. Kakashi had also needed to sign several legal forms to relieve Pyrrha of any possible charges.
"Well, to bring him here might be a stretch, the best I can do is send him a message and hope he responds." He explained before raising his eyepatch showing his sharingan. "I still don't have a complete understanding of it, but I have a theory that when Obito disappears he's actually traveling to another dimension. Likely a pocket dimension that can only be accessed by the use of his sharingan, his eye."
Ozpin nodded catching on to where he was going. "And sense you have one of his eyes you believe you can travel there."
"Not exactly." Kakashi shook his head. "I've never been able to do that but what I have been able to do is do what he does to himself to other object. Create a portal to send other things through, something I've never seen him do. I want to send him a message. However I'm afraid that after using this technique I'll be completely unable to fight him when he comes."
"Why is that?" Ozpin asked.
Kakashi sighed. "The sharingan is an ability passed down through the Uchiha clan, it's hereditary. While I'm able to use it because I have his eye, my body isn't accustomed to it. It burns through a ludicrous amount of energy for me to use, at peak condition I can probably use it twice maybe three times in a day before collapsing from exhaustion. As I am now, using it has a good chance of knocking me unconscious. I doubt I'll be able to get out of bed for another two or three days."
The four sat in silence for several seconds before Qrow sighed. "What a drag."
Kakashi couldn't hold back a snort at that, images of a certain Nara popping into his head. Kakashi reached into his weapons pouch and then into the small hidden pocket sewed inside. He then pulled out a small folded paper square, he quickly unfolded it and paused to look at it. Qrow looked over his shoulder at it, it was a photograph of four people. A blonde man standing behind a younger Kakashi and Obito with a smile and his hands on their heads, in front of them all was a smiling brown haired girl with purple marks on her cheeks holding up two peace signs with her fingers.
Kakashi simply stared at it for a minute before flipping it over and bringing his thumb to his mouth and biting down drawing blood. Using the blood he quickly wrote out a short message. Kakashi to a deep breath. "I hope your all ready for this, cuz I know I'm not."
With Obito
Obito laid naked and submerged in the cold water of the river, his muscles were sore after everything that had happened. His fever had returned but nowhere near it was, the water helped keep his temperature down while also soothing his aches, the peaceful atmosphere of the Forever Fall Forest also helped him think. It didn't really matter what he thought about though, it always came back to Pyrrha in the end.
"He's wrong." Obito whispered before opening his eyes and sitting up, cold water falling from his hair in the process. "Pyrrha can never replace you... Rin. No one can, but I never wanted her to." Obito placed his face in his hand. "Pyrrha is my friend... my best friend... my only friend." Obito stood up, the shallow river only reaching half way up his shin. Obito breathed in deeply and held it. After several seconds he let it out before opening his eye and looking up into the late night sky.
The night sky on Remnant were so different and yet exactly the same. The constellations, the moon, it was all so alien and yet it was still a black void filled with tiny pricks of light.
A moment later he was back in his pocket dimension, the ever stagnant and unmoving air sent a small shiver through him. Walking over to the dresser next to his cot he pulled out a towel and began drying off, once he finished he began dressing himself. He reached for where he usually placed his shackles only to find them absent. "Ah right, they took them." He said to himself, it was to be expected. He was a criminal so it was only natural they would confiscate any weaponry. "I'll need to get them back." His hand then moved to the metal port where his prosthetic would go. "A new arm to..." He trailed off as he noticed something on the ground nearby.
His eye narrowed at the familiar photo. Bending over he grabbed it, team Minato, taken shortly after they were officially made a team. His eyes lingered on Rin for several seconds before he flipped it over, unsurprisingly there was a message written in what appeared to be blood. 'Beacon Tower, Pyrrha needs you' it read.
With Kakashi
Kakashi had been correct in his guess that he would pass out after using Kamui, luckily he was only unconscious for roughly an hour, even more lucky was the fact that Obito hadn't showed up yet. Pulling out his scroll he checked the time, it was nearly three in the morning. Looking around the office he observed the other three people present. Qrow was sitting on the floor with his back to the wall, he held a flask in one hand and his scroll in the other. What he was looking at Kakashi didn't know.
Glynda had taken over Ozpin's desk and holographic terminal in order to work on something class related. Ozpin himself had opted to simply stare out the window at the Vale skyline, a steaming mug in his hand. That was his eighth one by Kakashi's count.
Before his thoughts could go any further however an all to familiar pressure filled the room and if their reactions were anything to go by the others felt it to. Qrow was on his feet in an instant with his weapon in gun form aimed at the center of the room where a spiral distortion was appearing. Glynda doing the same with her riding crop, Ozpin however simply turned and watched calmly as the form of Obito appeared at the center of his office.
The room was silent for several seconds after he fully manifested. Then Qrow laughed lightly. "He knows how to make an entrance, I'll give him that."
Obito looked around the office though he never allowed Kakashi to leave his line of sight. Everyone but Ozpin tensed as he reached into his pocket and withdrew the photo of team Minato and tossed it to Kakashi who caught it between his fingers. "Where is she."
"Most likely asleep in her dorm room with her team." Ozpin spoke first. "Though she is currently under restrictions, she cannot leave the campus and cannot move about the campus unattended. Depending on how this meeting goes, her future as a huntress or even her freedom could be at risk."
Obito stared at the man for several seconds. "I see, so you intend to use one of your students futures as leverage against me. A student that clearly has limitless potential as a protector of humanity. You'd really throw her away just to get to me?" The pair maintained a glaring match with one another until Obito smirked. "A good strategy, to bad it won't work. You're going to drop all charges from Pyrrha Nikos and completely scrub her record of everything related to this whole situation." Obito said this with an air of absolute confidence.
Even Ozpin looked surprised at this declaration, he'd been around long enough to be able to tell when someone was attempting to bluff or manipulate. This boy wasn't doing that, he fully believed what he'd just said would happen. "And why may I ask would I do that?"
"Because you owe me a very great deal, and your debt is due." Obito responded.
"What could I possibly owe you young man?" Ozpin sounded legitimately confused.
Obito looked to Qrow. "Been a while eh Qrow, though I know you don't remember our last meeting."
"The hell you talkin about kid?" Qrow asked.
"Every time you try to remember how you got away with that woman, Amber if I remember her name correctly, you get a splitting headache. You remember cutting the appendage that woman attached to her face, then nothing, then you were aboard the VTOL over Vale. Sound about right?" Obito asked the man, a look of realization forming on the three adults presents faces. Obito looked back to Ozpin. "Without me that girl would be dead and Qrow himself would likely be dead as well."
"Wait a second, why the hell would you help me save Amber only to erase my memory?" Qrow demanded with a angry expression.
"How do you think I found out where Kakashi was hiding?" Once against surprise took over the group. "That woman must really be important if you were willing to sell out your nieces boyfriend to the guy you knew wanted nothing more than to kill him. I'm not gonna lie, even I was surprised with how easy you gave him up, I half expect to have to threaten to kill the girl myself to get it out of you." Obito eyed Ozpin once again. "So what's it gonna be Headmaster?"
Ozpin maintained a calm face but his grip on his cane tightened, this boy was something else. It had been a very long time since anyone had flipped a situation on him so quickly and thoroughly. They'd brought him in here thinking they hand the better hand but it turned out he was holding the joker and they didn't know. Ozpin sighed. "Very well, you are correct, we do owe you immeasurably for protecting Amber."
Obito grinned in victory. "Obito." He lost his smile. Kakashi struggled to his feet from the chair he'd been in, chakra exhaustion clear as day. He was defenseless. In a blur of motion Obito appeared in front of the silver haired boy and grabbed him by the face.
"KAKASHI!" Qrow shouted as he jumped into action just as everyone else did but they were to late, the pair disappeared completely from the office.
Kamui Dimension
The two teens appeared a few feet above the ground and Obito tossed Kakashi away from him before he landed sending the injured boy roughly bouncing along the ground. "We're alone now." Obito said after a short period of silence. "No one around to distract us, nobody to get in our way." Obito began walking over to Kakashi who was struggling to lift himself onto his knees. "You lied to me." Obito spat as he reached the teen and delivered a kick to his side hard enough to knock him over. "You promised me." He seethed before delivering another causing the downed boy to gasp as his lungs tried to get air. "You swore that you'd protect her!" He kicked him again making him spit up blood.
"I failed." Kakashi choked out as he looked up at the one beating him, to his shock there were tears falling from his visible eye. "Obito." Another kick cut him off.
"HOW!? You were the best of us dammit! You were Sensei's favorite, the son of a legend, an elite shinobi! SO HOW COULD YOU LET HER DIE LIKE THAT?!" Obito screamed as he stepped over the boy and sat down straddling him, cocking back his fist he brought it down into Kakashi's face. "HOW COULD YOU LET THEM TAKE HER AND PUT THAT THING INSIDE HER!?" He punched him again. "HOW COULD YOU LET HER DO THAT TO HERSELF?!" Another punch.
Kakashi felt water falling on his face, tears were dripping from Obito down onto him. "I'm sorry Obito." He whispered. "I'm so sorry... my friend."
Obito's fist slammed down onto the stone ground next to Kakashi's head with enough force to create a spiderweb crater beneath them. "Why?" Obito was choking back his sobs. "WHY DON'T YOU HATE ME DAMMIT!? I killed Sensei, I killed Kushina, I orphaned their child, I killed hundreds of villagers and ripped you away from everything you've ever known and loved. How can you still call me your friend?" Obito almost sound like he was begging.
"Because, I forgive you Obito." Kakashi responded.
"HOW!?" Obito shouted again.
"Because, your my friend. Those who break the rules are trash, but..." Kakashi trailed off.
"Those who abandon their friends are worse than trash."
One year today, wasn't sure I'd finish this in time. Not a hundred percent sure how I feel about this one but at the same time I like it. Let me know how you all feel in the reviews. LATER.
