I looked towards the door to the infirmary and watched Tobi enter. My breath caught in my throat as he walked over to me and looked down at me, I didn't have to see his face to know he was grinning underneath that mask. I sat up in the bed with a grimace of pain and looked at Tobi as he slowly removed his mask. Deep inside my mind my wolf spirit awakened and with his combined chakra my wounds completely healed as my body began to glow a light pastel blue. I looked Tobi deep in his eyes and his memories flashed into my head. I saw a young Kakashi Hatake, and a young woman whose name popped up as Rin, and then there was who we know as Tob, only his friends called him Obito. I blinked and the memories faded. Obito held his head as a headache from reading his mind set in.
"What the hell did you just do wolf demon?" I looked at him feigning confusion, then smiled sweetly.
"Obito." He seemed taken aback when I spoke his name. He frowned and stepped closer to me upon some kind of realization, probably that I've read his mind. He gripped me by the throat and got close to my ear.
"I've got Sasuke, and if you want to protect him you will come to my room in one hour. Itachi will be leaving for a mission, and you must make sure no one sees you enter my room. Do you understand?" I growled but nodded. I laid back in the hospital bed once he left the room and thought about what would happen to me upon entering his room. I knew some of what he had planned based on what he had done to me before, but with the thought of Sasuke held captive like I was when he took me made my heart sink. The door to the infirmary opened and Itachi walked inside. He walked to my bedside and sat on the edge.
"You're looking better Soku." I nodded and looked away from Itachi. This seemed to concern him as he gently moved my head back to face him.
"What's wrong Soku?" I shook my head and sat up in bed until my face was only inches from Itachi's. He looked at me as though he were confused by my sudden actions. I didn't give him time to speak as I pressed my lips to his quickly. I pulled away and stood up from the infirmary bed and looked back at him.
"Itachi, I hope you're safe on your mission. I love you and I hope that whatever happens within the next few days that you'll forgive me." I made a few hand signs and quickly disappeared before Itachi could ask any questions. I reappeared in my room and looked up at the clock, soon I will have to face Obito, and I don't think I'd be able to fight him with Sasuke in the room. I'd risk his life to transform in such a small room.
I wrote out a small letter explaining to Itachi all that has happened, and what is about to happened, then laid it on the small desk inside my room. I hung my Akatsuki cloak on the door and as the clock on my wall struck six o'clock I knew it was time to face my demons. I am a powerful war machine but risking the safety of the one I loved was my greatest weakness. A weakness that Obito has found.
