Chapter 9. Truths Revealed.
I quickly grew accustomed to being Tobi's partner, since we had always been together and did everything together, but something seemed different. Tobi was acting strangely around me, and I couldn't put my finger on it. It just seemed as if her were around more, and closer, as well as his rather annoying new habit of staring at me. Mask or not, I could tell he was looking at me in a funny way, and it made me uncomfortable. He seemed to be more confident about things, and I knew for a fact that his memory was coming back in bits and pieces, because I would find him scribbling notes on paper, trying to piece events together. For awhile, I shrugged off his change as only getting his memories back, but a nagging feeling kept telling me that I was missing something. Not knowing what else to do, I went to Deidara for advice.
Deidara: So you're telling me that Tobi, the guy that runs around here screaming ' I'm a good boy!' is acting strange...er than usual.
Cass: Yes.
Deidara: And you want me to explain why he's acting stranger than normal, a thing that I didn't think was possible?
Cass: Deidara, Tobi isn't that strange! I'm worried about him. I think something may be bothering him or something. I don't know!
Deidara: Well if you don't know, and you hang out with him the most, then how am I supposed to know what his problem is?
Cass: I don't know! I thought maybe it's just one of those 'guy things' that I'm never going to understand.
Deidara: Did he do anything that was strange to you?
Cass: No. I just got this feeling that something had changed, that's all.
Deidara: Well, I'm sorry that I can't help you, but a 'feeling' isn't much information.
Cass: sigh Ok Deidara.
Deidara: Well, the only thing I can say is maybe if you spent even more time with him, you'd figure it out, ok?
Cass: Alright Deidara. See ya layer! And get better!
Deidara: Yeah yeah, go on.
Well, seeing as Deidara was a bust, I decided to go see Konan. Maybe she would have an idea about Tobi's strange behavior.
Cass: Konan?
Konan: Yeah?
Cass: Tobi's acting weird, and I'm not sure what to do.
Konan: Define 'weird'.
Cass: He keeps mumbling, and he won't look me directly in the face anymore, but he stares at me. He's just acting so weird around me, like he doesn't want to be around me anymore.
Konan: Oh, I know what that's all about.
Cass: Really, you do? Is it one of those guy things?
Konan: Oh, it's a guy thing all right. Tobi likes you.
Cass: Well of course he does, we're best friends.
Konan: No sweetie, I mean he likes likes you.
Cass:...You lost me.
Konan: Tobi most likely is in love with you. You know, in a romantic way. That's why he keeps mumbling and staring, he's embarrassed.
Cass:...Tobi...is in love...with...me?
Konan: Yup.
Cass: Impossible.
Konan: How so? He's a young man now, and you have grown up into a young lady. You two have spent almost every waking moment together; it's only natural in my opinion. In fact I think you may love him too, and just not know it yet.
Cass: I don't know about that Konan!
Konan: Well, when you figure it out, you should let me know. Maybe I can help you. Ok?
Cass: I guess so.
Konan: Good, and in the meantime, I have an errand for you two to run. I need you to gather some documents from an informant in Konoha. Ok?
Cass: Yeah sure. I'll get right on it.
I go get Tobi and we head off to Konoha. It's a quiet trip getting there, since Tobi won't talk much. We eventually arrive and wander about until we find our informant. I get the papers from him and notice that Tobi wandered off somewhere. I sigh and set off to find him. I look all over the village, until I come across him sitting by a small grave. There are fresh flowers and a pair of orange goggles sitting at the foot of the grave. I sit next to him.
Cass: Yo. Earth to Tobi, you can't go wandering off by yourself and not tell me where you're going buddy. I was worried about you.
Tobi: I'm sorry Cass. I just felt drawn here.
Cass: Why? You know the grave?
Tobi: I think so. Cass, I think this is my grave.
Cass: Don't be silly, that can't be your grave, because you aren't dead.
Tobi: I was in an accident remembering? What if my comrades thought I was dead and made this grave?
Cass: Well...that would make sense I guess, but why this grave?
Tobi: These are my goggles. I remember them, and the name...
Cass: What's the name Tobi?
Tobi: Obito Uchiha. My name is Obito Uchiha.
Cass:...It...It makes sense. You are an Uchiha, because you have a Sharingan. 'Obito'...it's close to 'Tobi', just one more 'o'. Are you sure?
Tobi: Yes. I'm positive. it all makes sense now Cass, everything. I was Obito Uchiha, alive during the War with the Grasslands. I must have been killed, and...and I gave my comrade me other eye. I gave Kakashi Hatake my eye. It must be him, that's the name that's been stuck in my head for so long.
Cass: Tobi...Obito, I'm happy for you.
Tobi: There's a picture here. Tell me if I look like him.
Cass: You mean, you're going to take you're mask off?
Tobi: Yes. I need to know Cass. I have to know who I am.
He takes his mask off and I gasp. His face flushes, and he slams it back on
Tobi: Was...was it that bad?
Cass: N-no. It's an exact match to the picture.
Tobi: Then why did you...
Cass: Tobi...you...well...uh...n-never mind.
Tobi:...I must be really ugly huh? Scarred too I bet.
Cass: N-no. You really aren't, I didn't see any scars, except the one where you're eye is...is missing. I'm just amazed is all.
Tobi: I guess Sasori did a good job of patching me up when he found me then.
Cass: Uh huh.
Tobi: So...so now what?
Cass: What do you mean?
Tobi: Well...I mean, what am I going to do? I found out who I am, but I don't really care anymore...it doesn't matter anyway, because the past is in the past.
Cass: Tobi, if you don't care anymore, than we can just go home. I mean, the Akatsuki has been our home for so long...why should anything change?
Tobi: You're right Cass.
Cass: So...are you still Tobi?
Tobi: Yes. Like I said, the past is the past. Obito Uchiha is dead. Tobi is alive, so I will be Tobi.
Cass: I'm glad.
Tobi: Why?
Cass: Because I wouldn't want to loose Tobi. You've always been there for me. I don't want to loose you, ever.
Tobi: Tobi doesn't want to loose you either Cass. You are special to me.
Cass: Yes...well, we should be...uh...getting back.
The trip back was just as silent. Tobi was musing over his past and I was musing over my words. As soon as I said 'I don't want to loose you, ever.' I knew it was the truth. Tobi had always been by my side, and as goofy and childish as he was, it suddenly hit me. I couldn't live without Tobi. He meant the world to me. Well, I guess Konan would be getting her answer sooner than she had thought. It's amazing what a simple sentence can do to change everything. When we arrived home I went straight to see Konan
Konan: Oh, you're back, good. Is everything ok?
Cass: Yeah, we got the documents just fine. Guess what? Tobi figured out who he is. He is Obito Uchiha.
Konan: Really? And is Obito going to stay with us?
Cass: No. Tobi is going to stay with us. Konan...I think I have an answer.
Konan: Oh?
Cass: I think I...I... l-love Tobi.
Konan: Awww!! That's so cute!!
Cass: blushing So w-what do I do Konan?
Konan: Tell him of course! Right now! Go go go!
Cass: But I...
Konan: Hurry up now, go on.
Cass: O-ok, if you say so.
I go to our room and find Tobi lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling
Cass: T-Tobi?
Tobi: Yeah Cass?
Cass: I um...I wanted to tell you something...
Tobi: R-really?
Cass: I take a deep breath, my face red Tobi I j-just wanted to let you know that I l-love you...a-and I only gasped when you took off your mash b-because you looked h-hot. You aren't scarred or anything, you look g-great, but that doesn't e-even matter b-because I still l-love you anyway a-and...
Tobi: places his finger over my mouth to silence me. Do you...do you really mean that Cass?
Cass: I nod my head Of course I mean it. Tobi I...
Tobi: Shhhh. he removes his mask and leans in and kisses me I love you too Cassandra, I've been in love with you for a long time. I'm glad that you can accept me for being my self.
Cass: W-why didn't you say anything then?
Tobi: I was s-shy. he blushes
Cass: Awww! Tobi, you're so cute! I kiss his cheek We should go tell Pein.
Tobi: Cass, there's something else you should know though...
Cass: What?
Tobi: You...you're a Tailed Demon host. I tried to tell you years ago, but you didn't listen and...
Cass: Oh, Anakbal? I know. He...he came to me in my sleep and let me know about him a few years ago. I told Pein all about it.
Tobi: A-and he's ok with it? I thought he would kill you!
Cass: No, he, Sasori, Deidara, Kukazu, Konan, and I all knew.
Tobi: Then why...
Cass: Pein told me a long time ago, when I first got here that he started the Akatsuki to see how far he could take it. The goal has changed since then...since we started loosing so many of our members. He decided it went far enough, and after Gaara, he decided to just live and let live. I think Konan kind of pushed him into it, but, anyway...we aren't hunting Tailed Beasts, we just do missions for hire, like all the other villages. You could say that the Akatsuki is more of a haven than a criminal organization. We just look out for one another, you know?
Tobi: So, you will keep Anakbal?
Cass: He isn't harming me, and he will move on to the next host when he feels the need to. Now that is all cleared up, shall we go tell Pein?
Tobi: Of course.
We go to Pein's office and let him know about us. He laughs and shakes his head, but gives us his blessing. Next I go announce it to Deidara. He groans and shakes his head, but also gives his consent. I roll my eyes, since I'm old enough to make decisions by my self.
In a year Tobi and I get married, and move to Konoha. We still work for the Akatsuki, but Pein really turned it around, and it's now a legally accepted organization. It took hours of skull numbing negotiations though, but it was done. Tobi gives me son after our first year together. I name him Sasori Obito Uchiha. He has Tobi's hair and eyes, and my personality. We are very happy together.
The End
