Chapter number 6 is hereeeee! Last chapter had a bit of drama in it, with Kito majorly pissing off Akemi and Orochimaru making his snakey appearance. This one is going to be about.. well ill let you read :) Hope you enjoy it!
And a little thing to ask, if you can could you review please? :) it makes me more motivated to write :D
We walked through the pouring rain back into the village. His family were standing there waiting, wanting a body to bury but we had nothing to give them. Minato-sensei automaticly walked over and began to explain what happened. Rin began walking home after a quiet goodbye leaving me and Kakashi standing by the gate. Neither of us could bear to say anything, our wounds were still too raw.
I gave him a small nod, avoiding eye contact and started walking off home. I knew what reaction I would get when I got home, he would ask about how the mission was, I would tell him and he wouldnt care about how I felt. I couldnt deal with him at a time like this, I had lost one of the most important people in my life and he would have no sympathy for me. I walked with my head down through out the whole village, nothing seemed the same, like the sky was crying for him.
I eventually reached the Uchiha compound to see black decorations everywhere, the mourning had only just begun for them. Where as I had been living with it for 3 days already. It was like a hole was punched through my chest, It still didnt feel real that he was gone, like he could just pop out now and say surprise. But that was just a dream that would never come true.
I headed toward my house past the houses of my clan members, one or two looked out the window sympathetically at me. Everyone knew how much Obito meant to me.. I opened the door and slipped my shoes off, Itachi stood by the door with a sad face I briefly looked at him before walking past. My mother peaked her head out of the kitchen with yet another sad look but I didnt stop. I carried on until I reached that room with the white door, I opened it and walked in to see him looking out of my window.
"Obito is dead." His cold voice announced like I didnt know it already. My hand clentched into a fist as I stood looking at my feet.
"Yes." I said quietly. I heard his footsteps come toward me then SMACK. He slapped me sending me to the floor.
"You let him die! My brother is without a son now all because of you!" He shouted, his face twisted with anger and disgust. I heard my mother and younger brother appear in the door way. But my eyes focused on the man infront of me, the man who was meant to be my father, a person who cares and loves their child. Not treat them like a soldier.
"This is why you should never have become a ninja! YOU WERENT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS! HE COULD HAVE LIVED A LONG LIFE BUT NO YOU LET HIM DIE. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BORN!" He shouted, and something at that moment in me snapped. He was ashamed of my exsistance always had been. He went to strike me again but I wouldnt let him. I activated my sharingan only to see things differently, I had activated my Mangekyo sharingan because Obito had died. I grabbed his throat and shoved him against the wall.
"IT WASNT MY FAULT! I COULDNT DO ANYTHING TO SAVE HIM IT WAS TOO LATE. IT WASNT MY FAULT! I WISH I AHD DIED IN HIS PLACE BUT I CANT CHANGE THAT NOW! DONT YOU DARE, DONT YOU FUCKING DARE BLAME ME!" I screamed in his face, for the first time I had seen fear in my fathers eyes. I increased the pressure on his throat before smacking him against the wall and releasing him. I let him drop to his knee's.
"You have never been a father to me, you've always hated me, treated me poorly because I wasnt born the way you wanted. You dispise my very existence yet you continue to interfere with my life so it may benefit you in some way. You never wanted me to be a ninja, yet you treat me like you would a soldier. Strict discipline, no emotion, no wonder I grew up the way I did." I said calmly, staring down at him with no emotion.
"you will treat me with respect, I am your father!" He said trying to raise his voice again.
"Fathers a name you havent earnt yet, I tried to respect you, hoping one day you could become the father I want so desperately but I know now nothing will ever change. And I pray to god that you become a half decent father to Itachi and Sasuke. They shouldnt have to have the childhood I did." I turned and began to walk away from him but stopped before I left the room.
"You're dead to me." I said before exiting the Uchiha estate.
'That god damm dream again...'
My entire body ached, my mind couldnt keep up with with area's that required the most attention. I literally felt like I had been hit by a truck...Or Anko had taken me out drinking again... Oh the horror. I started to come back to reality to feel someone lying beside me, at first I paniced at the arm around my waist but once I played back the events of last night in my head, I relaxed. He stayed like I asked him to.
Although I wanted to feel it was only a friendship thing I couldnt deny there was a little feeling of something else, There always had been when it came to Kakashi but I could bring myself to admit it.
His hot breath on my neck made my hair stand on end, I must have been bright red by now. But the moment was ruined by him letting out a very loud snore, while trying not to laugh I carefully tried to escape his arm, only for his grip to tighten. I heard some mumbled words and gave up. I lied back down and turned to face him.
He had taken off his head band at some point and his soft silver hair draped along the pillow. He looked very peaceful, I really wanted to get a pen and draw on him... I moved my hand backwards towards the table to grab a pen..
"Dont even think about it." Came a deep voice beside me, I laughed and sighed in defeat.
"You always ruin my most brilliant plans Hatake." I said scowling at him. His single grey eye opened and looked at me softly.
"No I just take them first." His mouth moved into a smirk, and panic filled my head. He did not draw on my face... I tried to run for the bathroom but his kept his arm on me and forced me underneath him. He pinned my arms to the bed and laughed. I tried so hard not to go red but he looked...ahem.. rather...hot.
"Let me go Kakashi before I beat your ass." I said trying to be confident but failing miserably. He released one hand and grabbed my bedside mirror and showed me it. Clear face, not a single mark.
"Only joking!" He said jumping up and running out the door. Thats it.. I was going to kill Hatake Kakashi.
I scrambled to my feet and ran full speed out the door beginning my hunt. I searched all over the house, the rooms, the cuboards even under the floor boards but he was no where to be seen. I eventually gave up and headed to the kitchen to get some food. When I reached the kitchen I walked into a puddle of something making me jump.
"WHAT THE?" I looked down to see milk on the floor. I looked at the trail and it was coming from the fridge. Did he actually hide in the fridge? I went over and opened the door for him to flop out with a broken egg on his head. As angry as I was that he had tricked me, wasted my milk and apparently broken stuff in my fridge I couldnt help but laugh at the sight of the mighty copy Ninja with egg on his head. I burst out laughing getting an annoyed look from the messy man lying on my kitchen floor.
Before I knew it an egg came flying towards me, splat right on the forehead. I heard a small chuckle, I was not amused. I looked to see him standing infront of the fridge with eggs in his hand. I stood wide eyed waiting for him to move. Who ever moved first started the food fight so neither of us wanted to be blamed and have to clean it up.
But then again he threw it at me first...
I quickly ran toward one of the cuboards and grabbed any random food and started flinging it at Kakashi, who in turn started throwing the eggs at me.
"PUT THE EGGS DOWN!" I yelled laughing while ducking behind the table which I guess Kakashi had turned back round for me after flipping it last night.
"Only if you put the Tomato's down." He replied coming round the table, I quickly jumped up and tried to escape but he was too fast and bear hugged me from behind causing me to drop my weapons. We both laughed and just stood there amongst the mess.
"You know you're cleaning this up." I said turning round and poking him in the chest. Not an inch of fat on him, my finger just hit hard muscle. Interesting..
"I really dont think I am." He said with his arms still on me.
"You started it, now you have to clean. If you dont this mess with twin your own kitchen." His face dropped knowing I would keep my word. He nodded sadly and started cleaning up. I went and sat on one of the counters smirking at him.
"Although as a reward I will go and get you some clean clothes from your apartment and you can take a shower here to get rid of the egg." I said walking over and kissing him on the cheek before disappearing off to his apartment.
'Oh god why did I kiss him? How stupid! You complete Idiot Riku.'
I appeared in his apartment to be greeted by Pakun relaxing on the couch.
"What happened to you?" He mused with a little smirk on his pug face. I looked down at myself and I was absolutely covered in various foods.
"Ask Kakashi." I laughed, walking towards his bedroom. After knowing him so long I knew where everything was in his apartment. I went to his drawers and pulled out the clean clothes he would need and put them into a near by back pack. I didnt exactly want to carry them in my egg covered arms. I strolled back out to see Pakun asleep, I laughed quietly then poof'd back to the house.
"Kakashi! Delivery for you." I said walking into the kitchen, I stopped in my tracks when I saw him. He still had his mask on, but he was shirtless. Oh thank you beautiful god for food fights. He just looked up from sweeping and leant on the broom.
"Well it actually looks like delivery for me. Where'd the shirt go?" I said cheekily winking at him. A faint pink tinge appear on his cheeks before he shrugged.
"The shirt was filthy and cleaning works up a sweat." He said continuing the sweeping. I place the backpack on one of the newly cleaned counters before heading off.
"Im going to shower and stuff back soon." I said walking towards my bedroom, luckily there was more than one bathroom in the house. I entered my room and shut the door, then went to the bathroom and locked the door behind myself. I stripped off and jumped into the shower scrubbing all the food, and egg off my body and out of my hair. After about 10 minutes I finished and got out, wrapping a towel around my frame. I grabbed another towel and started to rub my hair dry.
It was still abit damp but it would dry soon enough. I gave it a quick brush, well I say quick but with it reaching my hips it did take awhile. I pulled it up into a pony tail and walked out to my bedroom.
I knew I had to get back to the exam soon, Id have to ask Anko if she'd been visited by the snake man. To this day the thought of him makes my skin crawl. I quickly pulled on some underwear and my ANBU uniform and headed back down towards the kitchen. When I got there it was spotless and no Kakashi in sight. I heard one of the other showers going and nodded to myself. I headed back to my room, grabbed my pouches and attached them to my legs and hip before placing my katana or 'Kia' as I liked to call her, on my back. I heard the shower stop and knew Kakashi would be ready by the time I got back down to the kitchen and wouldnt you know I was proven right.
"You took your time." He said leaning against the counter, his appearance once again flawless. I shrugged and grabbed some food out the cupboard. I turned to place it on the counter only to see a scared look on Kakashi's face.
"Dont worry im eating this, not throwing it. You want some?" I asked, shaking my head in amusement.
"No thanks im good. Im gonna head to the preliminary building so I'll see you in a few hours." He said before disappearing. I sighed and continued to cook my instant Ramen. I dont get why Sasuke doesnt like it! Its simply delightful. Thats one thing I had in common with Naruto, I L.O.V.E Ramen! I hoped they were doing alright in the exam, I mean whats the worst that could happen?
I got to the gate of the forest of death with no Anko in sight. I could already sense something wasnt right, call it female intuition, or the burning sensation on my neck. He was here and I could feel it, which meant Anko could aswell. I quickly activated my sharingan and jumped over the fence into the exam grounds.
I had to find Sasuke, I didnt care about the other participants at that moment in time, the only person I was focused on was my little brother. I sped past anyone who I came into contact with ignoring whatever they said to me, I just knew I needed to get to Sasuke at that moment.
I reached a small clearing to see a fight had broken out, Sakura was sat on the ground most of her hair had been cut off, Naruto passed out under a tree, other Konoha genin standing infront of Sakura protectivly and there...Sasuke. Holding that Zaku guy on the floor by his arms...His body covers in curse marks.. I was too late. I heard a mind numbing crunch as Sasuke dislocated the boys shoulders and dropped him to the floor. He started towards the other but I appeared in his way.
"Sasuke." I said softly, his eyes looked up into mine from anger to shock. I put my arms around him in a hug and felt his body tense against mine.
"Fight this, its not you. Trust me." I whispered, I was scared for him. Orochimaru would never take him from me, I couldnt let him. He started to calm down and eventually the deal re-tracted and he fell to his knee's. I caught him, and kept my hands on his shoulders reassuringly. I looked to the others they all either looked shocked, scared or exhausted. Possibly all three, it was understandable you can never expect this type of thing to happen. Especially to someone so young. I eventually let go of Sasuke and stood up. Naruto had just started to wake up and was completely oblivious to what had happened. Typical.
"Alright listen up you guys. You need to hurry up and finish this exam and get to the tower." I said, trying to keep a firm tone.
"But we haven't got both scrolls." Naruto and the boy I recognised as Shikamaru said.
"Well I have spare scrolls, and for your own safety Im giving them to you and escorting you to the tower." They looked abit confused but agreed. I couldnt tell them it was because of Orochimaru marking Sasuke. That was too out of their depth. I quickly used some of the medical jutsu I knew to heal any wounds we couldnt travel with and began on our way to the tower. It was mostly silent and once we reached the inside of the tower after a small fight, I had to leave them and get to the preliminary area.
I couldnt keep my mind off his mark, how could he do this to both of us? Had we not suffered enough! I sighed and entered the empty arena and jumped up on top of the statue at the end of the hall. I sat there dangling my legs off the edge and waited for every one to get here. One by one the Jounins appeared and eventually the Hokage. He gave me a look like 'I know somethings wrong tell me later' I nodded and looked forward toward the door. I noticed Kakashi out of the corner of my eye looking at me with a slightly worried expression but I didnt look back at him.
I'd probably start crying if I did.. Uchiha's never cry.
Awww more drama for Poor Riku :( things will get better soon though I promise :D anyway feel special two chapters in 24 hours.
Hope you liked reading and please review!
