He finnally arrived sweating like a dog.

"Im *pant pant* here *pant* now."

Obito gasped while his face collapsed to the ground. Kakashi had his arms crossed, furious of all the waiting 'I told

him specifically to be early' he thought. Rin just stared at him with an awkward smile. She had felt the guilt seep

within her seeing how normal Obito was acting. She knew what happend recently and how crushed he was when

she rejected him. Even right now she's questioning herself what prevented her from saying no. She set it aside and

tried to forget about it.

"are you ok, Obito...Obito?"

Minato-Sensei just shook his head sighing at this sight. 'Oh Obito, you never learn do you.' Rin went to pick up Obito. She pulled him up by his arm but his body felt like dead weight. His cheeks were flushed red. 'Hehe Rin is

touching me'

he thought. She sat next to him and turned his face to the side. Rin put her palm on his cheek slapping it gently.

"Obito? Hello? Obitooo?" she cooed

Obito was enjoying the soft touches she gave him upon his face.'Hehehe her hands are so soft and little.'

"OBITO! YOU DAMNED PERVERT"

Kakashi screamed kicking him right in the gut. "KYAAA!" spit came flying from his mouth. "Aaahhg ooouuccch!" he

held his hands over his stomach.

"You didn't have to do that stupid!"

Obito yelled at Kakashi as he stood up slowly with one hand holding his stomach and the other hand with his fist

up. Before he could even start to argue with his fellow team-mate Minato-Sensei began to speak.

"Why were you late again Obito" Minato asked.

"Uhmm" he cleared his throat.

"Well you see, Sensei, I had to help these kids, When i say kids, you wont imagine what I went through. They were

arguing and of course as the great person I am I couldn't -"

Kakashi cut him off. "Were 40 MINUTES late! that old lady is GOING to be PISSED, lets just go, explaining what

happened won't make the situation better" Minato joined in agreeing with Kakashi. "He's right Obito, let's go before

I get yelled at to for being late, since I'm responsible for you all." He looked at all of them and thought on how much

he's going to get screamed on. As they were walking in the summer heat, Rin began to think to her self. She was

looking at her two team-mates argue with each other over nonsense, Kakashi always made a point and Obito would

try his best to cover it up, which always resulted into a contradicting himself in the end. And as always

Minato-Sensei would try to break it up and put some sense into their heads. She smiled at them, even though her

team had many flaws, they gave her a warm feeling inside and she always felt at home. Rin looked at Obito as he

continued on with Kakashi. She wasn't paying attention to what they were saying, she could hear words but she

didn't comprehend any of them. For the longest amount of time she was staring at him, her face was flustered and

looked as bright a red rose.

"Rin? are you okay?" Minato asked.

She didn't even notice he had spoken to her.

He waved his hand infront of her face snapping her out of it.

"Oh my god are you running a fever" He ran up to her putting his hand on her forehead "your as bright as a tomatoe."

Rin looked up at the hand on her head "fe-fever? N-no i don't have one... I don't think so" She bit her lip and

became nervous, she hadn't noticed that everyone was staring at her until now.

"Are you ok, your not acting normal" Obito frowned. "are you feeling well?"

"No-no I'm fine guys" She quavered. "Really lets continue walking. " She looked straight forward and they followed along.

"Ok my medic ninja, as long as you feel fine " Minato smiled. They were almost at the granny's house and Obito kept

complaining about the heat. Rin feels embarrassed that she was blushing and it was noticed by everybody. 'Why do

I feel like this' She held her small hand to her chest. She also remembered the talk she had with Kakashi, she almost

forgotten about it.

She was so caught up with her thinking that she didn't realize she was at the old women's house already. Minato-

Sensei groaned knowing he has to deal with the old hag. He turned around looking at the three. "Ok, now children,

when we walk in, don't be disrepectful. Always respect your elders no matter how they talk to you. All we have to

do is help garden the yard-" "Buuuuut senseeeeiiiiii?" Obito whined. "come one now Obito, it won't be that long.

Don't complain." Minato-sensei responded. 'Ugh Respectful my ass, now we have to tend to some old bitchy hag

nagging' Obito thought to himself. Re-thinking the word "bitchy hag nagging" over and over caused him to chuckle

out loud. Kakashi looked at him wondering why he was laughing. He stayed a content composure on the outside,

but on the inside he was so not in the mood to do this 'This is going to be a long day.' he thought. Rin looked down

to her feet, nervous, knowing she was going to get yelled at with the rest. She looked Sensei for any conformation

to what they were going to do next. As he was about to knock on the women's door it flung open smacking him in

his. "aahhh. Crap" he whispered under his breath holding his hand over his nose. The three children looked shocked

and Obito was about to yell, but Minato put his hand on his should gesturing 'don't you do that'. Kakashi just stared

at sensei admiring his patience and tolerant ways. The old women stood in the door way, Grey hair, long floral

dress, basically how any old women would look. "What took you guys so long, how come every time I request help

with my garden you guys always get sent! Your always late! I can't rely on you Ninja to help me I swear to all that is

good!" She continued to blabber on as team Minato was escorted to the back of her house which led to the garden.

"And you call your self ninja? The will of fire?! They say ninja will always be at your service, Puh! They cant even be

here on time." She continued. "that's it the last straw! I'm reporting this to Hoakge sarutobi " Minato groaned and

shut his eyes tight. Obito was infuriated at this point as kakashi looked just as pissed, Obito's eyebrows

furrowed and he began to squint at the old woman. He gasped about to scream. Instantly Minato put his hand on

his shoulder calming him down, put his finger to his lips gesturing a 'shhhh' . Minato just was in a position where he

had to stay calm, which made it easier is that he wasn't the arguing type of guy and he did respect his elders, no

matter how much a pain in the ASS they could be. Obito stubbornly stood quiet and they proceeded on to the

garden.
