Ch.2
Few years later.
Rin got off the bed. He remained laying.
I should go pick up Nasake from the academy.
Okay.
Would you like something before I leave?
No. My wife will be home soon.
I know, but, God, how I want her to be late... I really need to talk to you more. I am very confused.. and scared.
Why, what happened?
Well – she sat next to him again – you see, he loses his mind at some points... Last night he went on the roof and stood there for hours... When I went to check on him, he took my hand and said - "Look, my love, at the world I created for you! I can fulfill all your desires, just name them."
Woah.. - Kakashi sat on the bed. - Sounds like he still has those delusions after Madara's genjutsu. Why haven't you told me?
Because I wanted nobody to know... I thought I could cure him.. But I guess I failed. Two months ago, he asked me whether he should erase someone who's bothering me from Earth's face. Now that scared me.
Madara sure messed him up. Have you tried transfering your chakra in his body? That might help him wake up completely.
It has no effect! I tried everything. Kakashi, I love him with all my heart and I want him to be okay... please tell me what to do!
Rin burst in tears. Kakashi took her hand and held it gently.
We'll think of something, Rin.
Someone unlocked the door – it was Ishida and the twins, Itoe and Natsuki. As she saw Rin crying, she rushed to the bed.
My, what's the problem, Rin?
It's Obito – Kakashi replied. - He still has his moments.
Bad... - Ishida hugged Rin. - Where is he now?
He went on a mission early in the morning, I'm expecting his return later today. Now I must go pick up my child.
Oh, okay. I think he's still with Itachi. Well, thanks for keeping company to my injured man...
Ishida.
...who would otherwise find his way out of the house again...
Stop.
...making me go look for him and carry him on our way back...
Seriously, Ishida.
Rin laughed.
No worries. Glad to help. - she stood up. - Well, bye.
Kakashi looked at her as she left the apartment.
