***** With Kakashi *****
It was late, around 12 in the morning or so. Kakashi was under Rin's window now, he whistled.
Everyone in Team Minato had a whistle they all knew. It was sort of like a 'ca-caww' whistle. Kakashi
kept his eyes on her window, tapping his foot up and down getting a little impatient. Several minutes
passed and before he put his fingers to his lip to whistle Rin's head popped out of the window, looking
sleepy eyed. The rain had already subsided hours before, a dense fog now covering kohona
"Ka- Kakashi?"
Rin stuttered, her voice hoarse and croaky.
"What happened, what are you doing here? Is everything ok?"
sounding a bit worried she stopped, Kakashi signaled her to come out.
"Meet me at the training grounds; I have to talk to you, ASAP. It's important"
with that he left expecting Rin to get ready right away. Rin pulled her head back inside the window, got
up instantly and put her clothes on as fast as she could, brought her first aid medical bag (which was
always habit) and jumped out her window quietly, not to wake anyone within the sleeping house. She
began running to her meeting spot. She felt excited inside thinking of so many things. Well she liked
Kakashi after all, or at least she thinks she did. But from anyone else's perspective it was just a
common underdeveloped puppy love. She has so many cute things in mind as she rushed to meet the
Jounin. Thoughts of bouquets of vibrant flowers, cute poems, and romantic walks filled her imagination.
She arrived to her destination; she could barely see Kakashi, an opaque mist enclosed on everything.
The moonlight shined through, illuminating the fog an unbelievable glow of moonshine passed through
the thick fog. It was a stunning sight to look upon. She saw that the silver haired boy was sitting on a
rock beside the water. He almost looked like a spirit of some sort. Almost like a Yūrei, heard in all those
Japanese legends. His hair reflected the luminosity, making his hair look bunched up shining diamonds.
Rin walked toward him.
"Kakashi, I'm here, so please tell me what happened"
He turned his towards her slowly making full eye contact; his black eyes gave her Goosebumps and
sent chills down her spine.
"So yea, Rin I have to talk to you, it's about me."
"What is it?"
She questioned. Nervous as ever she observed his facial expressions. Lumps and gravel filled heavily in
his throat because he knew how she would react. He stammered but went for it
"I Have a girlfriend"
...dead silence arose between them...
Everything around Rin shattered, her expectations crushed, she could feel her heart pounding and a
sadness starting taking over starting with her throat hurting. Rin was thinking a mile a second now
wondering why the HELL would he ask her to meet up to be told this. AT 12 am?! Still reluctant to talk,
he didn't want to hurt her. He didn't even want to do this, he didn't want to be here at this very spot
right now. But he's making sacrifices even if it hurts her in the beginning, for he knows she will be
better later on
"Rin I don't like you like that"
She looked pale as ever and her eyes widened
"No I'm sorry, that came out wrong."
He was still staring at her and he could tell her emotions were all over the place, she looked confused,
hurt, impaled by the words came from his mouth, just so much horrible emotions he had given her.
Tears were now brimming from her eyes. Kakashi moved forward. He felt horrible,but kissed her
forehead and put his arms around her.
"I do like you Rin"
he said in a remorseful tone and regretting how he worded the things he said. He hugged her, face
burrowing into her shoulder. He could smell the sweet smell that she always carried around her.
"i'm sorry"
She held him back, even though she spoke no words she accepted is apology.
" -but I also have to talk to you about something else"
Rin looked up with watery eyes in response to his deep voice, hoping it was some kind of sick cruel
joke he's playing. She is very sensitive by nature, so he had already expected something like this to
happen. Still in his arms, she waited to hear what he had to say.
"Obito, why don't you try and hang out with him soon, he's going through a lot, a lot more than you think. He needs a comforting friend. And I can't do that, its kinda …uhmm…what's that word again… yeah Gay "
Kakashi wasn't the best at talking about these things at all (as you can see), so usually conversations
might end up, well not so good (especially if the one he's talking to is super sensitive)
"Obito? I don't like him though"
she responded quickly.
"Well of course I like him, but not in that way"
She now pulled away from him but continued to stare directly in his eyes, still upset of what he had
told her. But then his slight change in facial expression made her regret saying that. This made Kakashi
feel angered inside, because he felt she was being stubborn and a little misunderstanding.
"I didn't say that Rin, I never said you have to like him, I said you should go talk to him more and spend time with him. And YOU'RE the only one I know that could fulfill this job! You're really nice and caring and you know how to make people feel better"
he said vexed now.
"no….No! I didn't mean it like that"
her voice had cracked as if she was about to cry or something. His tone of voice upset her, she didn't
mean to say that. Kakashi looked rather shocked, not expecting her to react like this.
"It's just…. Well it's just umm"
She bit her lower lip and got stuck on what she was saying.
"It's just what Rin?"
"It's just, I can't be alone with him, like it will just be to-"
Kakashi put his finger over her lip. He calmed down for her sake.
" Shh. Rin it's ok. You can do this"
Rin nodded, agreeing, but still hurting about the words spoken to her. Giving in to his dominant yet
comforting way of talking, she gave in and opened her eyes had widened.
"Ok, you're right... I'll try to help him out, but what's wrong. What's he going through?"
She asked softly but quite emotionless.
"It's not for me to say, I would be filled with guilt if I told you"
Kakashi replied. "Rin" her head perked up and she payed full attention.
"See you tomorrow, ok?"
He smiled hugging her once more, and then he ran off. As she watched him go she put her head down
and felt like she was going to cry. It wasn't only because of what Kakashi said, she just felt extremely
upset. Maybe Her guilty conscious of rejecting Obito came into mind. He unexpectedly stopped in his
tracks and ran back to her. There he was standing in front of her, the hazy fog went in between there
legs and through their arms. He took his scarf of and put it around her neck. No longer keeping eye
contact with her he spoke.
"Here, it's a little chilly out. Please don't stay out too long. Ok?"
Her eyes closed and she began to blush, but this time it wasn't the feeling of lust for him, just a certain love that
she knew he really cared for her.
"Ok…Kakashi….Thank you"
and with that he was already gone, vanished into the fog just like a small pebble would disappear if fallen into the
ocean. He hoped by doing this Obito will be happy. He didn't mean to hurt Rin. This was a hard thing for him to do,
he deeply cared about Rin, as his own team-mate, his own family member. For Minato, Rin and Obito are actually the
only family he has now. He was thinking about what just happened. Over and over it was in his head 'This is for
Obito, he deserves to have some light in his life'
