Funny sentence: Can you please pass me the garlic? That young man had a cape on and long teeth!

I bowed my head and stood up to face the masked man upright. "Who are you?" I asked.

"Ah, go wake up your friend and I will tell you." I nodded and yelled out to Kakashi. He came down a minute later fully clothed and stared at the stranger silently.

"Who are you?" I asked again.

"My name is Tobi and I'm an Akatsuki." He drew out a fancy kunai with strange scripture written over it and twirled it lazily around his fingers. "I wanted to see you two in person before Zetsu-san comes and destroys the village…and everyone in it in 1 week."

"Why are you telling us this?" I asked suspiciously.

"I want to know if your abilities can help me." He faced towards Kakashi. "I also want to see how strong my Sharingan is." A soft red glow emitted from Tobi's mask, making Kakashi holding his masked Sharingan eye in pain.

"Kakashi!" I screamed. "What's wrong?"

"My eye…" He pulled up his head guard and stared at Tobi with it.

"A Sharingan has never seen its partner front on physically, so this might be a first." Tobi's Sharingan began to shine even more and a thin beam of swirling red and black connected to Kakashi. "Kakashi, do you remember me now?"

What I didn't know was that when the Sharingan's light connected with each other, painful memories, physically painful memories, entered Kakashi's mind and attempted to take over his body. "Obito?" he gasped.

Tobi nodded slightly, not releasing his gaze from Kakashi and laughed like a friend seeing another friend for the first time in a while, which in this case was actually true. "Kakashi, you've mastered the Sharingan well, but Itachi tells me your spirit wasn't broken when you entered his Sharingan world. Interesting."

Kakashi groaned in pain but didn't drop his gaze. I could see that entered Tobi's Sharingan world and was either being attacked or having a talk to 'Obito' which was still painful in a way, I guess. "Kakashi!" I yelled as he dropped to the ground.

"Ah, looks like you need a teacher to control you spirit. I could help you with that." Tobi offered a somewhat kind hand to help Kakashi up. Amazingly, Kakashi grabbed it and stood up.

"Why would you want to help me? You're an Akatsuki!" he spat.

"Zetsu-san is going to attack the village, and even though I am a traitor to the people, well that doesn't mean I'm a traitor to you." He laughed and deactivated his Sharingan. "We'll start tomorrow, ok?"

Kakashi slowly nodded and led Tobi out the door, watching him poof away. He turned back towards me and lowered his head guard. "Well, I believe he is Obito."

"What? I thought he was killed by a rock fall."

"He said that, yes, but when Rin told me to go a head to find help, he said she pulled him out from under the rocks and sacrificed herself with the forbidden Resurrection Jutsu which she kept secret from everyone. She healed him and died to give him life." I heard Kakashi sigh and watched him sadly as he walked slowly towards his room.

I stood in the same spot for a while before going back to bed after a small breakfast.

It was now 2 days til this Zetsu person would come to Konoha and in the 5 day time period since my last meeting with Tobi, Kakashi had successfully trained to withstand a 2 week Sharingan World torture. He was constantly tired after the training and on the last day of his training, Tobi had brought him to me, unconscious in his arms. "Heh-heh, Kakashi sure is strong. He completed my test but fainted on the fifteenth day. Oh well."

I was starting to like Tobi but only to a certain point because I constantly reminded myself that he was a rogue ninja. "Tobi…Obito, why are you disobeying your clan?"

"I've never been one to follow rules, you know. Zetsu-san won't be able to hurt me anyway if he found out…no one can." He laughed and connected shoulders with me so we both were poofed to the hospital. I suddenly remembered that Tobi was wearing an Akatsuki robe but when I looked over at him, he had changed into Iruka. I just hoped Iruka didn't walk past us. "I'll drop Kakashi off and go back to Zetsu-san."

I nodded and followed Tobi towards the front desk where we were told to place Kakashi in room 108. "Well, I guess I'll see you later." He said. I smiled slightly and nodded. Then, something really weird happened. The Iruka clone hugged me. "You are a good person. I will try to spare you too."

I didn't know what to do but placed my arms around Tobi. We broke apart and said goodbye. Tobi transformed into his normal masked self and poofed away. I sighed and sat down beside Kakashi and watched his face.

Kakashi had been asleep and watched by me for an hour when he suddenly started to react to a bad dream. I watched placidly as Kakashi mumbled small strings of word. "Maye will die with him…am the cause…I'll protect her, you fiend…dying…" his leg started to have a small spasm but stopped when I stroked his forehead. He seemed to calm down by that, his worry line disappearing. I sighed. What am I going to do with you Kakashi?
