"I believe you guys have to let Kakashi rest." A certain girl said as she entered the room. "You can come back tomorrow…"

With that, everyone left the room and it was just me and the familiar looking girl left.

I stared at the girl. She had Brown hair that completely matched her eyes. She smiled at me and I just stared at her… She looked familiar… Could it be???

"Rin?" I asked as I looked at her, not believing what I was seeing. "Is that you?"

"Who else could it be?" She asked as she smiled but her eyes were starting to get watery. She was still the same. She was always the first one to cry. The only thing that has changed is her appearance. Her short hair was now long and her eyes shine brighter than before.

"I… I thought you died… Where have you been all this time?" I asked worriedly.

"It's a long story… I think we should talk about it some other time… right now you have to rest. You were badly injured." She said as she wiped her tears away.

"Can I see you some other time?" I asked hoping I could spend more time with her. "I mean. You're not going to leave again, are you?"

"Sure…" She said as she gave me a hearty smile.

-o-

From that very day, I couldn't stop thinking about Rin. The one whom I treated like my own sister was back. She was alive. I kept wondering how she disappeared. I wanted to know… All my life I thought that I let her die. I thought that I broke my promise to Obito. But here she is right now… She alive… She's back!

"Kakashi!" I heard someone call me, making me snap out from my reverie. I turned around and saw Rin running towards me.

"Hey, Rin!" I said smiling under my mask. "What's up?"

"I was about to go to Ichiraku ramen shop to get some lunch. How about you?" Rin asked. "What are you up to?"

"Well I'm about to meet my team in the next five minutes. But I haven't eaten breakfast so I guess I'm going to Ichiraku's with you." I replied.

"Wait… wouldn't that make you late? I thought you hated being late! What happened to you?"

"Hahaha… It's a long story… I'll tell you when we get there." I said then we both took off and went to Ichiraku ramen Shop to have breakfast together.

"So, you're saying that you've changed?" She asked as she laughed, making me so confused and wonder what's so funny about it. "You're not the same mission addict, strict; always-follow-by-the-rules type of Shinobi now?"

"Yes…" I replied. "I've learned to value my friends and that team work is important when you're on a mission."

"Really?" She said as she eyed on me suspiciously.

"Of course, Obito's death happened to change my life a lot…" I replied as I looked at her seeing that her expression changed when I mentioned Obito's name. " You miss him too, don't you, Rin?"

"Yes… So much… I really miss those times when we go here together… You know, all three four of us… You, Me, Obito and Minato-sensei…"

"Yeah… I miss them a lot too." I sighed, remembering all of the memories I spent with my old team. "Speaking of Minato-sensei, his son is on my team… I happened to be his sensei" I said proudly, changing the subject. Hoping that she'll cheer up and she'll not cry anymore."

"Really?!" She asked, excitedly, her eyes sparkling, beautifully.

"Yeah… and guess what? He looks just like Sensei but he has Kushina-san's eyes and attitude…"

"Then he must be a strong, shinobi. Not to mention that the Kyuubi no yoko is sealed in him too."

"He is strong but not because of the Kyuubi no yoko. But because he believes in himself and never gives up. I, myself wont be surprised if he'll become a great hokage like his father one day…"

"I can see you sure are proud of him."

"Who wouldn't be? I'm sure if Sensei could see him, he'll be very proud. He doesn't know what he's missing!"

"You've really changed a lot, Kakashi! I'm really happy to see you happy now.

"Hahaha… Now, tell me… Where were you all this time? - I mean, I haven't seen you in a long time…"

"You don't have to know… Besides what's important right now is I'm here, right?"

"I have a feeling that you're hiding something from me, Rin"

"I don't want to talk about it, Kakashi" She stood up and turned away. "I have to go to the clinic… Tsunade-sama needs me."

"Wait… come back here and stop changing the subject!" I ordered, trying to keep my tone, soft and calm as I grabbed her wrist.

"Y-you wouldn't understand anyway…" She started to stammer and shake as she tried to stop her tears from falling, which in my opinion, wasn't helping for she wasn't doing a good job of trying to hide her feelings.

"How could I understand if you won't even tell me…" I said softly, trying to calm her down, hoping that she would stop crying. Seeing her cry is one thing Obito resented. Obito would always make her happy. Obito loved her so much and he'd do anything to make her happy. But she never had feelings for him, for she had feelings for me and all I did was reject her and take her for granted. I even refused to save her by the time her she got captured by our enemy during a mission. I was unworthy for her love but she never stopped loving me. Obito should've been the one to live and I should've been the one to die. If Obito was here, Rin would never cry. Rin would always have that warm smile on her face. Obito brought sunshine to her life when I… bring nothing but clouds… Clouds that covers the sun that makes her happy

-o-

" I won't let someone like you make break Rin's heart." Obito said as he walked towards me with a frown on his face.

"What do you want, Uchiha?" I asked in a cold manner. I really hate it when he bothers me, especially with things that don't involve me at all. Obito was always like this, random and annoying… He annoys me and bugs me all the time. We never get along and we fight a lot!

"I'm talking about Rin!" He specified. "I'm not gonna lose her to you!"

"Whatever you say, dimwit" I retorted. "I'm not even interested in her. If you want her, she's all YOURS. Now, stop bugging me."

"I'm not gonna let a conceited person, who doesn't care about anything but rules, like you, make a sweet girl like her cry." He said as he pointed his finger at me. "Seeing her cry is the last thing I would ever like to see… So, if she cries, you're dead!"

-o-

"I left konoha, to move on." She stammered as tears flooded her face. " I thought that by leaving, I could forget about you."

"Rin I-

"But I didn't… It's been a long time… and when I came back I thought I could face you. But when I saw you again… I began falling again…" She continued to cry. " I love you, Kakashi.."

Well that's all. It took me long to update coz my computer had virus and the one I first made got deleted. I could say the first one I made was better than this… But I worked hard to make this… So, I hope you guys love it! ^_^
