Hagoromo was looking at the sky from outside his room, really depressed. Earlier in the day he has tried to talk to his children about the terrible experience. He made huge progresses in Asura´s case, but Indra… even if he was protected now, it was difficult for his oldest to forgive him. The teen keep closing up to the world, trying not to get hurt or disappointed again. The Sage himself tried to talk to him, to help him like the doctor said he needed to, but his long haired son just kept his door closed, making him sad. The only good thing was that, after three months, the doctor declared that Indra was not pregnant…

"I thought you might want to see me" a voice came to him. He looked behind him and noticed his twin brother there, walking towards him. "I took a night off my work as guardian of mother´s body to see you, nii-san. Now… what happened to you? You are never depressed."

"Hamura…"

"Yes? You know you can talk to me about anything"

"It´s about Indra…"

"Hum, what with him?"

"I´m a failure as a father!" finally let out the older, making the byakugan eyed man jump. "I though I was doing the right thing by sealing his chakra, but… it was not! Those… those… they used that to make horrible things to him! Now he is hurt beyond believe and couldn´t forgive me for not protecting him! And the worst thing is… Asura discovered before me and when he tried to help his brother they nearly did… did… THAT to him too!"

"Slow down, Hagoromo, what exactly did they do to Indra?" asked the inhabitant of the moon, sitting near his brother. The Sage mumbled something, but Hamura didn´t catch it. "Hum?" he did that again but the same happened. "Louder, nii-san"

"RAPE! Exactly how high do you want me to say it, Hamura? They used my seal… they used me to abuse my sons! They have been doing that to Indra for so long…"

"Wait, what?" now the white haired twin was angry. "No one does that to my family and escapes like nothing" his byakugan activated. "Where are those sons of a bitch? I´m going to kill them…"

"I have already set up their execution hour, Hamura" stopped him the older twin. "And Indra and Asura have to be there when I punish those… grrr… they deserve to know justice have been served"

"Okay, okay… I just wanted to give them a spoon of their own medicine, maybe show something up their asses…" Hamura said in a dreamy way. "Well, if it´s not the bastards, then what is troubling you?"

"Well, Asura told me that they have been doing that to Indra since he was eight and now he can´t forgive me for not protecting him" he sighed, lowering his head. "I can´t either, but at least I want to pick up the pieces and help him recover, but I the last three months he has been just holed up in his room. Asura is the only one that can enter…"

"I understand, he trusts Asura more than you" Hamura deduced. "I think you should… try a more indirect approach. Give him time to work out his feelings and try to get close to him slowly. You will see that he will open up to you when he notices that you are trying to make amends. Maybe he couldn´t forgive you immediately, but with time he might let you begin since zero"

"You think? He is very good at keeping grudges"

"Yeah, but you are as stubborn as he, so you should be fine" the sage lowered his head. "Hey, Hagoromo nii-san, don´t get depressed. He is a strong kid and you are good at cheering people up. I can assure you, everything will be okay. Just… help Indra to overcome what happened and take a better care of him this time"

"I´m not going to let him get out of my sight a minute"

"And I suppose he is forbidden of getting married too" joked the younger Ootsutsuki.

"That too"

"I was joking!"

"Well, I´m not"

"You are being overprotective now!"

"Like hell I´m going to give him away to other person for him or her to do whatever it wants with him. He has already has enough of THAT kind of relation."

"You are exaggerating, nii-san"

-In another time-

Obito was running away with Rin in his arms, trying to lose Konan. The origami mistress was sent by the Akatsuki to silence him, after revealing his true identity to the rest of the organization. It was strange that they didn´t sent Pein, considering who he was, but he has a young child with him that was definitely slowing him down. He used his Mangekyo again, getting him and Rin away from the female Akatsuki without really seeing where he was sent. Panting, he got to his feet and took the crying child on his arms… just to nearly collide with Kakashi Hatake the next second.

"Obito?" asked a wide eyed scarecrow.

"Bakakashi?" the Uchiha couldn´t contain himself, then cursed low at his mouth. They didn´t have much time to catch up, since the paper angel caught up to Obito that moment, interrupting the reunion and throwing more paper bombs at the Uchiha.

"That tunic… Akatsuki" Kakashi went into full shinobi mode. He wasn´t able to save his best friend once, he wasn´t letting some crazy ninja kill him in front of him again. He uncovered the Sharingan he got from that same Uchiha and went after him. he found Obito using his Sharingan to keep the bombs away and making himself untangible to escape her.

"Traitor… now you will pay!" Konan was about to throw one last attack, directly at Rin so Obito´s only choice would be to sacrifice himself for his son, but something attacked her from behind. She was able to dodge fatal injury, but she received enough damage from the Hatake´s chidori to make a retreat.

"Are you okay, Obito?" asked the worried Konoha shinobi, running to his friend´s side. "Are you hurt somewhere?"

"No, I´m alright…" he answered, getting up and revealing what he has been hiding. The kid stared at their savior with wide eyes, impressed by the way he managed to scared Konan away from there. "Are you okay, baby?"

"I´m fine" answered the kid, looking at the man over his mother´s shoulder. The white haired male was looking at him in amazement too. "Mama, who is him?"

"Hum… eh… well…" Obito was about disappearing with Kamui, but his former teammate put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head, signaling that he was ready to follow him to another dimension if it was needed to drag him back to Konoha, where he think he would be safe. The Uchiha just sighed and give up. "This is Hatake Kakashi, an old friend of mine… as in when we were children" he turned to the white haired male. "Bakakashi, this is my son, O... Uchiha Rin"

"Hi, I´m Rin" greeted the young boy.

"Hi, Rin, I´m Kakashi" he eye smiled to the child, who smiled back.

"I like you! You are less threatening than my father…" Rin frowned. "Well, a Bijuu is less threatening than my dad…"

"Rin!" the mother scolded him.

"It´s true!" the child´s stomach groaned in that moment and he rubbed his belly. "Mama, I´m hungry, do you have something to eat?"

"…" Obito didn´t knew how to answer. He fled without any money or food, so he was unable to feed his child now. "Well…"

"Here" said Kakashi, taking out of his backpack a few riceballs and giving it to the kid, eye smiling. "I think you will like them"

"Thank you, Kakashi-san" Rin grabbed the meal and start eating while the older Uchiha sighed. He need to find some way to escape his former teammate, but a hand on his shoulder signaled him that the other was well aware of his intensions and wasn´t allowing that to happen again, so he should just give up.

"Now, why don´t we start walking? There is a long way back to Konoha…"

"What´s Konoha?" asked Rin curious.

"You don´t know what´s Konoha? Haven´t your mother told you about the place he grew up in?" the white haired jounin sent a glare in the direction of his childhood friend, who just shrugged. It wasn´t like he was planning to take Rin to that place, so… "Let me tell you a bit about it while we go…" then he turned to Obito. "Don´t even think about escaping, I will keep the child by me all the time, you and he are going."

"Don´t you understand I can´t return?" hissed he Uchiha in a low voice. "That´s the worst place I can end up in… except for Kirigakure."

"What happened with Kirigakure?"

"I… never mind"

-Back in the past-

Hagoromo entered to the dungeon. It was the night before the execution and he wanted to talk to Yami. He wanted to understand why did he have to do something as evil as that to his little boy. When he entered he noticed all the rapists were trembling and pleading for their lives, all of them except Yami and Takeshi, the later because he accepted that he deserved the punishment. The former…

"I knew you were coming, Hagoromo-sama" said the man, leaving his place in the dirty floor.

"I just want to know why? It´s obvious that you didn´t like Indra in that way and have many females that would want to lay with you, why did you have to make my little boy pass through that hell?"

"I don´t know, maybe because he was your son?" Yami laughed. "He was such a cutie too, young, powerful, innocent… to dominate a person like that, more over your little genius, would make me stronger… and because he was your flesh and blood, more powerful than you too!" he laughed again. "Every time that whore screamed for you to save him I felt more powerful than you, because you failed and I won. And I would have been perfect if I did the same to Asura…"

"You are sick" the Sage turned around to leave, not wanting to talk more.

"Hey, Hagoromo-sama? How is him? Still as broken as I left him?" he laughed again. Once outside the Ootsutsuki made a beeline to his son´s room, staying outside. Indra was deeply asleep thanks to the medication his doctor has given him, whimpering softly and curling around himself, but at least wasn´t waking up… when the teen woke up, his father was still in the same place.

"What were you doing there?" he asked confused.

"It doesn´t matter" answered the father, getting up. "Come on, let´s go to have some breakfast. Yu surely are hungry"

"I haven´t been for a while, I would just take the food to my room…"

"No… you have been practically holed up in that place for the past three months, it´s time you face the real world again" Indra was about to retort, but he was shut up by the older Ootsutsuki. "I know that I have the fault… in a great part, but I want to apologize and help you to move on."

"How could I move on? Look at me, father!" the teen finally exploded. "I´ve been ruined… what those bastards took from me… I´m not going to recover it! Never! I´ve been used like a common whore for so long…"

"Indra, you are not a whore"

"Do you know how many times I´ve had sex with? I lost count when I was ten!" he cried and his father forced him to come closer and hugged him. "Let me go!"

"No… it´s obvious that you need this" he caressed the young man´s hair. "I just want to tell you, this wasn´t your fault, it was mine. I´m your father, I should have protected you against them and I didn´t. This isn´t in any way your fault"

"No one is going to want me now… I´m filthy, I stink, they told me that every time they finished with me…" sobbed Indra, now openly crying on his father´s chest.

"You are not filthy and you definitely don´t stink. And if no one else wants you around, then it´s their lost, because me and your brother are always going to be there for you. We are a family and we will stay close" he patted his back. "Now come, clean your face up and have some breakfast with us. Hell ended, it´s time to start recovering"

"You sure… I can fix up my life after everything that happened?"

"Absolutely, now come, I will go with you. I´m not leaving you alone since now" Indra nodded and they went off. While they were walking, Hagoromo reflected about the current situation. He knew that this short talk doesn´t mean an immediate reconciliation, but it was definitely a first step. Maybe Hamura was right and the only things Indra and him needed were time and talking. Then they could begin again…

"I´ve been waiting for you two! Where were you?!" said Asura, getting up from his place in the table.

"Shut up, otouto, it´s not like we were hours late"

"It seemed so to me and… have you been crying, nii-san?"

"Eh? No! I… I´ve just not accustomed to the light after so much time in my room" he rubbed his eyes to hide the evidence. "Now I want to eat breakfast without being made fun by my stupid little brother"

"Hey! Don´t call me that!" they were fighting, but smiling at the same time, obviously playing in an amicable way. This made the oldest relax and they were able to have a nice breakfast together…

-In Konoha-

Obito´s worst fears became truth when they arrived at his home village. He was immediately attacked and taken to T and I, where he learned that the names and personal information of all Akatsuki members were given to the ninja villages. He barely have time to yell at Kakashi to take care of Rin before he was taken away, hoping that the scarecrow was now more capable of keeping his promise to take care of a "Rin". And since he was not longer loyal to the organization, he was more than happy to give the interrogators all the information he had. After some time in a cell he was allowed out and taken to the Hokage´s office.

"Nice to see you again, Obito-kun" said Tsunade once he was in front of him. "That´s what I would like to say, but considering what you did… well, Minato and Ksuhina would have forgiven you, but the village will never do so"

"Tell me something I don´t know"

"Obito…" approached Kakashi, who was present too.

"And you… you should be taking care of Rin, Bakakashi!" he yelled at his old friend.

"He is fine, being watched by some ninjas at my house, you are welcome" retorted the masked man. "But this isn´t why you are here. We asked you some questions about Orochimaru and you didn´t answer. We need to know…"

"Yeah, me too" answered the Uchiha. "Look, he was in there, but he quit and ran. Since then I lost track of him, I can´t help you find him"

"That´s bad, I thought it was an opportunity to recover Sasuke…"

"Wait, maybe it is…" said the missing nin. "I heard Zetsu saying that we needed him once and… probably to recover him is the best way to slow his plan down"

"What do you have in mind?"

"Why don´t you announce to the world that you have captured the missing nin Uchiha Obito and are arranged his translate to Hozukijo? With a complete list of his crimes: coauthor of the Uchiha massacre, releaser of the Kyuubi, member of Akatsuki, might know where they are hiding, specially his known parter Itachi…"

"Yes, that will definitely lure him out, but…"

"Oh, cut that, Bakakashi! I´m not going to die because of a little brat that thinks of himself a missing nin. I´ve lived as an S-class one enough time to learn to take care of myself" he lowered his head. "And if by this I can get a place where my child and me can live in peace, then I will. Revenge and forgiveness of sensei´s soul can be a nice plus…"

"Then let´s do this" Tsunade accepted, calling the ANBU to take him to his cell. Then she remembered something. "You said you meet Uchiha Madara, where is him? What were his reasons to do everything he did?"

"The Shodaime and Niidaime killed his three sons"

"I am sure they had their reasons, maybe the boys were a menace to the village…"

"The two oldest yes, they attacked the village… to avenge their younger brother who was killed by the Niidaime just because he was an Uchiha. He never did anything wrong…"

"It´s enough!" said the blond with rage. "Take him back to his cell and prepare everything for his translate to Hozukijo. Kakashi, you are in charge" the ANBU left with the prisoner and she let the air out. "I need to…"

"He is right, you know, Tsunade-sama?" said the masked man. "I can defend the actions taken in the two oldest case, but the youngest was innocent. Has he been spared, maybe we haven´t had heard of Uchiha Madara again"

"Yeah… I think that too"

"I will get prepared, Godaime-sama" Kakashi left the room and went to his home, where Rin was playing with some toys. The first thing the boy asked him was where was his mother and he didn´t answer. He took him to his new room, promising himself that when all this was over he himself will protect both Obito and Rin, from everything…
