"This isn't fair." Tobi sighed, poking through the hole in his mask with his finger. Obito was reading a book- a love story.

"What isn't fair?" He asked. Tobi groaned, and spinned over to his mask-less counterpart. "You need to go back to your world! Or at least reveal to everyone you're here! What's the point of having a roommate if I do all the grocery shopping?!" Obito snorted at his comment.

"When is that portal going to open back up? Any day now?" Tobi asked. Obito lacked a reply. He was quiet. "What's with you today?" He began to walk over to his clone, only to find a red faced Obito.

"Obito! What's with that creepy loo-" he stared at the romance novel Obito read. "That thing- is that even appropriate?!" He yelped yanking the book away from Obito.

"I-it's not that!" His face turned more red, and he pulled the book back. "Stop! This is inappropriate-" Tobi protested. "You really are an idiot!" Obito sat up.

"It's just that...well..." He looked away. Tobi tilted his head. "What?" He asked impatiently. Obito muttered,

"Rin is alive in your world...r-right?" He said in almost a whisper. At first Tobi was confused. "Is she not alive in your world?" He asked. Obito sighed and crossed his arms.

"That b*st*rd Kakashi killed her." Kakashi killing Rin? Tobi looked at him worriedly, though his facial emotions hid under the mask. The thought made his stomach turn. "Your world isn't very nice." "It is not."

They remained silent for a bit. Tobi sat down beside Obito. "Um, Obito-" "I said to call me Tobi!" "Right. Tobi." He rolled his eyes. "Anyway. I don't think I want to go back to my world."

"What?!" He gasped, and stood up. "But-but! You're like taking care of a baby!" Tobi protested. "I'm staying here! And I don't want to be a secret anymore. I want to meet Rin, and the Akatsuki-"

"The Akatsuki...? They're in your world too?!" Obito rolled his eyes. "Of course they are. Like you, I'm also the leader, sort of." Tobi's hands reached to where his mouth would hypothetically be without the mask in shock.

"That's so amazing! I guess our world isn't a complete parallel after all!" Obito rolled his eyes. "Right. And what do you mean by THAT?" Tobi jumped up in excitement.

"I'm not the leader of this Akatsuki! I'm just a fanboy, who cosplays 24/7!" He giggled and did a thumbs up. Obito twitched. "What the hell...Are you f-"

"-ABULOUS? Yes I am! I always dreamed to be apart of the Akatsuki... The number one legendary chess club!" He squealed in joy. Obito nearly choked.

"Chess club?!" He asked. "Yes! What are they in your world?" "A criminal organization filled with S-rank ninjas!" He yelled. Tobi tilted his head. By now, he was not surprised as to how messed up his counterpart's world was.

"Oh, really? Just like here! You have to be a totally cool ~*~*~ELITE~*~*~ ninja to join. But also, a really good chess-er!"

"I hate chess. I don't want to meet the Akatsuki anymore," he paused. "But I still want to meet Rin..." he mumbled. Tobi flinched. He wasn't too fond of the idea, especially since it meant more competition. Kakashi was enough.

"You can't meet Rin." He said quickly. Obito glared at him. "Why not?" "...-Because she-she's dead!" And then, Tobi saw the most painfully unimpressed glare ever.
