Yoko stared at the thing that was in Kakashi's outstretched hand then looked up at Kakashi himself. She took them from him, "Why are you giving me these? Did you steal them from Obito-san?" She slipped the goggles onto her own head, "Where is he? I'd better go give them back,"
Kakashi just looked at her and for once she saw grief in his eyes. Rin, she noticed, was standing behind him looking extremely upset, "You guys? Say something!"
"Obito- he said to give those to you. You always liked them," Kakashi attempted.
"Wh- What? Why?" Their strange behavior seemed disturbing to Yoko. If they were trying to worry her to death then it was working, "You guys, where's Obito-san? What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like somebody-?" She cut herself off and looked up into his eyes and then her eyes. It was Minato who had to tell her the whole story. Her best friend was dead.
She cried a lot after that. Cried until she couldn't remember what she was crying about. But then she would remember and cry even more. She didn't speak either unless it was to ramble about him while she was dreaming. In her waking life she was depressed and quiet, driving everyone away from her.
One person didn't leave her, though. Kakashi seemed to have taken an interest in her (No not THAT kind of interest.... sicko). He had noticed that she had been less and less involved in school. He knew Obito wouldn't have wanted that and he told her so.
She just looked at him.
"Aren't you gonna say something?"
She shook her head.
"Well are you going back to school or what?"
She shook her head.
"Weren't you listening? Obito wouldn't have wanted you to quit! Why are you so intent on it?"
She wrote something in the dirt, 'People stare at me,'
"So? They did before too,"
'They're mean to me now,'
He sighed and was quiet for a minute. Then she wrote something else, 'will you train me?'
"Me? Are you sure? It won't be easy," Kakashi warned her.
'I don't care,"
So she trained with him all through her childhood and he was right- it wasn't easy. But nothing had been easy in her life so it suited her just fine. Eventually she left the leaf village. Illegally, but no one really seemed to notice except for Kakashi. He wouldn't go after her or report her though. It wouldn't do any good.
She didn't even really know where she was going. She just knew that she didn't want to go back. So she wouldn't. Besides, she had a good feeling about today. Like she would meet someone important. Well she did meet someone but the circumstances seemed rather unlucky to her.
