Tobi and Kakashi—Revisited

The morning after Tobi's little 'evil moment'. Tobi was as cheery and spazy as ever. Kakashi on the other hand, didn't want much to do with Tobi that morning, or any of Tobi's questions.

The two 'lovers' sat at a small table. Both of them was watching the other. One of the ninja had a look of pure innocence in their eyes, while the other one stared daggers at the first.

"Tobi is wondering…Kakashi-chan, is it strange to be a girl? Tobi doesn't mean to insult you…Tobi is just wondering. Tobi has always wondered what it would be like to be a girl…does that sound wrong?" Tobi asked Kakashi as the completely masked ninja fiddled with a spork that he found outside of his home.

Kakashi glared over at the excited ninja, thinking of different ways to murder Tobi with the tool in his hand. Finally, Kakashi decided to give Tobi a random answer to get some quiet. "Tobi…"

"Yes, Kakashi-chan? Can Tobi help you? Are you going to answer Tobi's questions?" Tobi squealed happily.

Kakashi suddenly stood up, "Pie…" And with that said, the female ninja left the room.

"That doesn't answer any of Tobi's questions!! Does this mean Kakashi-chan (this just sounds so weird) doesn't want to talk anymore? Can Tobi go talk to Pein-sama? Pwease! Tobi is a good boy! Tobi wants to make sure Pein-sama is alright!! Please, Kakashi-chan!!" Tobi cried after his partner.

Kakashi's ticked voice gave the reply, "I don't care!"

Tobi stood to leave, then suddenly walked back to the table, picked up the spork, then left the house.

Tobi skipped over to the pink-rose covered house. Outside of the house in the front yard was a very pissed Oro. Who seemed to lack sleep. "Hello, Oro-kun! Isn't today wonderful!!"

The snake glared at Tobi, "Piss off, spaz!"

Even Tobi couldn't hide the hurt in his voice, "Wh-What's wrong, Oro-kun? Has Tobi said something wrong?"

The snake sighed (once again…you don't hear that everyday), "It's that damned Pein…she's locked me outside since last night."

Tobi walked up to the snake, "Aww, but you two seem to be connecting so well!! Tobi wishes his relationship to Kakashi-chan would go this well…"

"Keep your hopes up…I might want to trade…" Oro hissed, before stalking away to the backside of the house.

Tobi watched as the snake slithered away, then slowly made his way to the front door of the house. The ninja hesitated for one moment. A clear vision of his leader destroying hundreds of ninja suddenly came to his mind. "Will Pein-sama not want to see Tobi? Will Pein-sama release her wrath upon Tobi?" Tobi whispered to himself before gathering his courage and knocking on the door.

A cold, angered voice snapped at the ninja from behind the door, "I've told you, you good-for-nothing bastard, go away!! I don't want to see you, I don't want to hear you, hell I don't even want to know you ever set foot in this damn house!"

Tobi flinched slightly at the coldness behind the voice, "Leader-sama…" Tobi whined.

"Huh? Who is that?" Pein's voice lowered.

Tobi relaxed at the sound of Pein calming down, "It is Tobi, Pein-sama, Oro-kun went around the house."

"How can I be so sure of that?" Pein snapped suddenly.

Tobi took a step back, "Tobi is a good boy! Tobi wouldn't lie to Pein-sama!"

"Okay…yeah it's you."

The masked ninja could just barely hear the soft clicks of the locks on the door. The glossy wooden door slowly opened, Pein stepped aside, allowing Tobi to slip into the house. As soon as Tobi was completely in the house, Pein snapped the door shut and quickly locked it.

Pein lead Tobi into a larger room. There were two sitting areas in this room, one sitting area was a white couch facing out toward a large window that showed the sun risig slowly over the horizon, the other sitting area was a tea table, with two seats. The two ninja decided to sit on the soft couch, well, more-or-less Pein sat down, and Tobi followed.

"What is it that you wanted, Tobi?" Pein murmurmed, her voice low.

Tobi turned his body until he was facing Pein, "Tobi was wondering…how can Tobi make Kakashi-chan care for him? Do you have any advice, Pein-sama?"

Pein's head turned away, she looked out the window, her eyes reflecting the rising sun. Tobi, even though his leader had been transformed, couldn't stop the absolute feeling of awe that he got when he was around Pein. Tobi could see the strength, the confidence, the wisdom, the absolute power that was the Akatsuki Leader. "Advice…" Pein's voice snapped Tobi back to reality. "Well, I would have say--"

Pein was cut off by soft taps on the front door. "If that's you, snake…" Pein warned.

"Open the door, Pein…my now sister."

Pein dashed out of the room, unlocked the door, and threw it open. Standing in front of him was none other than Konan. "What are you doing here?" Pein asked as she showed the blue haired one inside. Unfortunately, Pein didn't close the door in time, and the snake was able to stalk inside, and slip up the stairs.

"I, and a few other women, came here once news got out that there was something wrong…would you like some help?" Konan smiled.

Pein sighed, "Oh yes…" Then she called over her shoulder, "Tobi will you come back later."

Tobi felt his self esteem fall. It took him so long to prove to Pein that he was worth talking to, and now it was just like before, he was once again being shrugged off.

"Of course, Pein-chan," Tobi muttered sadly.

Pein suddenly spun around to glare at Tobi, her eyes spiraling out. Pein was about to attack Tobi when a certain snake slithered down the stairs. The snake swiftly wrapped one of his arms around Pein's waist. "Oh, hello, Konan. When did you get here?"

Pein spun out of Oro's grasp, and coldly replied, "She got here the same time that a rapist broke into my house."

Pein turned to Tobi yet again, "As for you, watch your tongue."

Konan stepped in right then, "Seeing that all the other females have probably started helping…why don't I start helping you?"

Oro started back up the stairs, but not before he could get the last word, "Oh trust me, Pein needs a lot of help! But most of her problems aren't physical!"

"Shut the hell up, snake!!" Pein snarled, throwing a kunai one second too late.
