This would basically be an OC!Rin harem fic- well, not really a harem, more like her inner circle of favorite people she goes around collecting. Basically her own cult of hotties, with Obito being the main love interest.

Hitomi-sensei glanced up from her clipboard, setting her dark eyes on me, then to the Uchiha next to me. We were in the back of the classroom, Obito sitting at rapt attention for his team to be called, and myself, who was writing furiously in my notebook.

"Team 7; Nohara Rin-"

I quickly closed the cover, hiding all the little quotes and random poems I was making up, sitting in anticipation.

"Uchiha Obito-"

"YES!" Obito cheered, fist-pumping the air with the biggest grin on his face, making me giggle. "We're on the same team Rin-chan! This is so awesome-"

"Ahem." Hitomi-sensei cleared her throat, making Obito scratch the back of his head sheepishly, "Sorry Sensei… wait, aren't we supposed to have a third teammate?" the boy voiced, while I let a small smirk settle on my lips. I already knew why of course, but kept my mouth shut, choosing instead to open up my notebook again and continue writing, tuning out their conversation.

'Just by living I'm hurting them another day

Hundreds cry, all I do is ruin everything

Nobody wanted me, no one there to need

If only I could live in that kind of world I dreamed

Just by leaving I'm helping them another day

Hundreds smile, all they do is laugh at everything

Nobody there to scream, no more being mean but see

Things like that would never happen for me

Day after day I found my way, sleepwalking through

Like this I'll fade without a trace, it's for the best I do'

Someone bumped me, making me smear the ink.

Slowly, I turned my head to look at my best friend, eye twitching as my face fell into a glare, making the boy shiver. "I-i'm sorry Rin-chan- I didn't mean to bump you!" he pleaded, making me sigh, the killer intent I was unconsciously leaking disappeared, making the kids around us make various sounds of relief.

Obito leaned over, squinting at the paper, "what're you writing?"

"A song I've heard before, it was a while ago though."

He grinned, "Are you gonna sing today? Pleaseeee." he begged, "You're so good."

The Uchiha frowned, "Though most of the songs you sing are depressing."

I giggled, closing the notebook and standing up, throwing it haphazardly into my bag and slinging it over my shoulder. "I know, but depressing songs are the bop."

Joining me, he clumsily slipped on a stair, making me roll my eyes and catch his sleeve before he could take the tumble. "T-thanks," Obito said, his face flushing in a mixture of embarrassment and probably infatuation- not like I would know.

Watching as the students went to go eat lunch before their sensei's picked them up, I boldly grabbed my friend's hand, flashing him a wide grin. "Come on, wanna go get some dango at that new stand?"

"Hell yeah!" he exclaimed while matching my grin, face still a little red.

"Why can't I just laugh it off the way that I dreamed?" - Self-inflicted Achromatic

As we munched on our own sticks of dango, I listened as Obito chattered away, mentioning at we were going to meet our third member at training ground 3, and his speculation on who it could be.

"Well Obi-Tobi," I announced, bopping his nose with a playful smile, "Whoever they may be, they'll never be able to compete with our awesomeness neh?"

The boy nodded rapidly, "Obviously, I'm an Uchiha, which automatically makes me great, and you're my best friend! You're already really good with medical ninjutsu, and just overall a great ninja- and you graduated top of the class! No one can beat us."

Nodding seriously, I stroked my chin, "You're right, might as well crown you Hokage and me head medic."

"Yeah, what're they waiting for?" he laughed, the both of us in high spirits.

Depressing songs are the bop to be honest.
