Chapter 7

Obito teleported Kakashi out of Kamui, wrists bound in front of him, charka suppression seals binding his chakra away to keep him under control. Kakashi glared at him, annoyed, but scowled at the Konoha ninjas.

"Why did you bring your pups here, Guy?" Kakashi cursed. "Bloody hell!"

"They're my students!"

"I damn well know that!" Kakashi hissed, yanking at his restraints. "But they are only genin! What the hell are you thinking?"

Obito grasped the back of Kakashi's yukata, holding him in place. The Omega hissed and squirmed, but Obito merely wrapped his arm around his waist and tugged him against his side.

"I'm sorry, Rival!" Guy cried. "But they are full of passionate youth!"

Sometimes Obito forgot how much of a dumbass Guy was.

Pakkun growled lowly. "This is why I wanted to go alone."

"It seems you're busy," Obito said dryly, interrupting the 'reunion'. "So perhaps I'll keep myself entertained once again with Kakashi and we'll meet up with you later?"

Pakkun bristled and Guy's expression turned dark. Tenzo growled lowly, but refrained from doing anything. Izumi seemed to be the least affected, in fact, she was studying Kakashi, eyeing him curiously.

"I thought Kakashi's scent smelled different." Guy's fists clenched, his knuckles turning white. "I will make you pay for taking advantage of him while he was drugged."

"I'm fine, Guy," Kakashi insisted. "I promise."

"My eternal rival, reassuring me even when it's you who needs help!" Guy sobbed. "You're too kind-"

Kakashi twitched. "I'm not being kind! I'm stating facts! You need all the information you can get-"

Obito tugged his hair lightly, forcing their eyes to meet. "I don't think that will help much, Kakashi."

"Evidently not." Kakashi scowled.

"Now, now." Izumi held her hands up, smiling sweetly. "Why don't we continue our negotiations?"

Obito deliberately focused on her, and smirked when Guy tried to take advantage. Guy dived in, speeding straight in, trying to grab Kakashi. Kakashi tried to warn him, but Obito allowed Guy to slip right through Kakashi and crash into the trees behind them.

All the Konoha Ninja flinched. The little green clad pup yelping in distress.

Kakashi winced as several trees hit the ground. Obito merely chuckled, eyeing Guy as he stumbled back to his feet, shaking his head dizzily. Obito angled both himself and Kakashi so that he had everyone in sight now that Obito had their attention.

"Now, as I said before; I might be willing to return Kakashi Hatake. I have been enjoying having an Omega of his calibre around, but he's starting to regain his strength, and trying to keep him prisoner will become troubling soon." Obito grabbed Kakashi's jaw, tilting his head even as he drew him closer. "So I want a trade."

"What do you want?" Tenzo frowned.

"It's nothing bad," Obito said. "Just a sample of your DNA."

Kakashi growled. "Like hell!"

The pups murmured, confused, but Izumi silenced them with a quick gesture.

"Then I suppose you should get used to staying with me," Obito said, adding a bite to his tone. "I hope Konoha won't miss you too much. Although, I suppose many of them don't, considering this must be an unofficial mission. There's no way Konoha's stupid enough to send three genin with two jonin and an ANBU agent."

Guy snarled. "We're here for Kakashi and that's all that matters!"

Kakashi tensed minutely against him, before smoothing himself back out. It was barely a second, but Obito registered it. Pakkun must have too, because his eyes narrowed further, and his growls turned into soothing noises instead.

Kakashi was a bit upset that nobody would officially come for him, but at the same time there was a knowing resolve to him. It made Obito's Alpha hiss from within him. Disgusted.

"You'd give us back Kakashi for a sample of my DNA?" Tenzo asked warily. "And that's all?"

Kakashi stiffened. "Don't you dare consider it, Tenzo! You can't-"

Obito clamped his hand over Kakashi's mouth, muffling his protests. "That's all," Obito said. "Your DNA for Kakashi Hatake's safe return."

"And you'd never go near him again," Tenzo bargained.

Obito sighed. "No. That I can't do. We bonded during his heat and my rut. We're going to need to see each other once a month. Isn't that right, Kakashi?"

Kakashi glowered, tugging at his hand. Tenzo looked livid, and Guy's Alpha howled, murderous fury leaking from him. Pakkun leapt from Izumi's shoulder, but she caught him and held him back. She was still calm. Far too calm.

What conclusion had Izumi come too? Or was she still deciding? Obito frowned. He'd need to keep an eye out for that.

"You monster!" Guy spat. "You forced yourself on him and bonded Kakashi too?"

"It wasn't intentional," Obito admitted. "But I don't regret it. I had a lovely time."

Kakashi looked ready to strangle him. Probably with Obito's own scarf.

Izumi snorted. "I bet."

The girl Beta pup choked, as did Tenzo, who flushed. Pakkun nipped Izumi warningly, earning a curse. Kakashi grumbled something against his hand. It sounded a little too murderous, so he nuzzled Kakashi's neck, hoping to calm the Omega.

Obito brought out the kit he had prepared for this moment, and whirled the briefcase into existence, letting it drop near Tenzo's feet.

"In there are the DNA samples I want from you. I want your saliva, hair and blood." Obito ignored Kakashi trying to stomp on his foot. "I trust you know how to take your own samples?"

"I dislike this guy having your DNA, but it's worth it if that means bringing Kakashi home," Guy said through gritted teeth.

Kakashi shook his head, but Obito ignored him, merely tightened his grasp to still him.

Tenzo nodded and opened the case, opening up the first vial. He cut off a decent amount of his hair, leaving it at his shoulders, before placing the strands in. Obito kept Kakashi's protests muffled, and leaned down to whisper in his ear.

"Enough, Kakashi. You can't do anything, I've made sure of it. I've got you tied up tightly and your chakra restrained, and because of my abilities your comrades can't fight me off. It's over-"

"Izumi!" Guy yelled.

Her eyes flashed red, Sharingan activated, but Obito chuckled. He easily shook off Izumi's genjutsu. It was a strong one, would fool many people, but not Obito. Guy dived in first again, throwing a punch, but once again Obito phased through it, Kakashi clutched tight to his side. Izumi appeared instantly before them, reaching for Kakashi-

Ah, they were trying to time his ability.

But her hand slipped right through, as did Tenzo's wood style. Her sword, the purple blade Izumi always carried, phased through the back of his head, before Izumi jumped back, her and Guy placing themselves between him and the genin. The pair looked grim.

"He slipped right through all their attacks!" the green boy gasped.

"I don't understand how he does that!" The Hyuga boy scowled.

"It seems you lot aren't ready to cooperate," Obito said, planting a kiss on Kakashi's forehead. "I guess we'll be spending more time together then."

"Don't-" Pakkun barked.

"No!" Guy cried.

Tenzo held out the vial of his hair, eyes sharp and locked on him.

"My DNA for Kakashi," Tenzo said firmly.

Obito sneered. "You're all walking a fine line. But fine, I suppose I will keep to the bargain, despite your little trick. Get the rest of your DNA, then put it in the case and toss it back to me."

"Let Kakashi go first," Tenzo tried.

"As if you have the right to give me orders after what your idiot friend over there tried to pull with the girl." Obito scowled.

He was really running out of patience here. It was making him itch with the need to kill them all, but that would only cause his mate harm. He'd blame himself. So no, Obito would be patient. His Alpha was restless though. It didn't want to let Kakashi go. Sure, Obito didn't either, but keeping Kakashi for much longer wouldn't work out.

The entire situation was so bloody annoying.

"He's not really my friend-" Tenzo admitted.

"What?" Guy gasped.

"I only know you as Kakashi senpai's stalker."

Obito growled lowly. "Just get on with it. Honestly, this is a hostage situation and you idiots are all going on about the wrong things. I can just take Kakashi away again, far away so not even his hound can track him."

"I will bite your dick off if you take him away-" Pakkun snarled.

Tenzo finally obeyed, so Obito ignored Pakkun and focused his attention on the wood user. He stuck the needle in his arm, drawing his blood, then took a swab of his saliva. He neatly placed them back into the case, the tossed it over. Obito caught it with his free hand.

Obito nodded. "Good boy."

He kissed Kakashi's hair. "See you around, Kakashi."

Obito teleported himself back into Kamui, leaving Kakashi's warmth behind. His Alpha whined at the loss, but Obito ignored it. He opened up the case and smirked. "Let's see what the wood user's DNA is worth then."

.::.

Izumi and Guy were instantly at Kakashi's side, Izumi cutting through his restraints, even as Kakashi growled at them. Guy winced, leaning away at Kakashi's glower, but Kakashi couldn't help but relax slightly when the chakra suppressors were removed, letting his weak chakra stir from their confinements.

"I told you I was alright, but you didn't listen!" Kakashi scolded, even as Pakkun jumped into his arms, snuggling in. "And Tenzo, you know how valuable your DNA is with you being the only living man able to use the wood style. Who knows what Mr. Kidnapper is going to use it for!"

"You named him?" Pakkun snorted.

"His own fault," Kakashi huffed. "He wouldn't give me his name. In fact, he didn't tell me anything. I've been left with hundreds of questions, and probably an interrogation session with Inoichi. I don't want Inoichi to see my-" He glanced at the pups. "Adult life."

Guy studied him closely, lifting up his arms, checking his waist, and even his legs, before examining his hair. Kakashi almost flinched away when his fingers poked at his scent gland, and Guy smiled sheepishly, apologetic, before continuing his inspection. Kakashi found it easier to just let him get on with it. The Alpha was protective over his 'eternal rival', which was oddly amusing.

They bet each other up on a daily basis for their contests, but like hell they'd ever appreciate someone else beating the other up, or causing them harm.

"I'M SO HAPPY MY PACK MATE IS OKAY!" Guy sobbed, burying his head into his shoulder, hugging him tight.

"YES! I'M HAPPY KAKASHI SENSEI IS OKAY ALSO!" Lee beamed, hugging Kakashi's other side. "NOW YOU CAN CONTINUE YOUR PASSIONATE RIVALARY!"

Tenten groaned. Neji simply sighed. Kakashi wondered what he did to get himself into this mess.

"We'll deal with the guy who wants to use my DNA when the time comes." Tenzo smiled warmly. "For now I'm just glad we got you back. Team Ro was getting anxious not being able to stalk you."

Kakashi groaned.

"Yeah, they missed watching you torment your new genin team," Izumi laughed.

"How many stalkers do I even have at this point?" Kakashi grumbled.

Everyone blinked at him at that, but instantly their heads went to Guy who flushed.

"I'm not a stalker!" Guy protested.

"You were the one who managed to sneak into my bath and jump out of it while I was taking said bath to challenge me," Kakashi reminded him.

"YOU'RE THE WORST!" Tenten screeched.

"He kept refusing my challenges!" Guy huffed. "I had to catch him off guard."

"I see!" Lee perked up.

Neji smacked him. "No! And don't teach him bad habits, Guy Sensei! He's an idiot enough as it is."

"Please," Tenten sighed. "He's too easily influenced by you and probably will be until he finds his mate, who hopefully can talk some sense into him."

Lee beamed. "I can't wait until the day I can introduce my mate to Guy Sensei and show them the amazing teacher I have!"

"I would love that, Lee!" Guy cooed, hugging the Omega pup close, squeezing him tightly, except Kakashi was still in the embrace, so he got squished between the two of them once again.

Kakashi sighed. How did he manage to keep finding all these crazy people?

"So," Kakashi mused, eyeing his friends. "How much trouble are we all in?"

Pakkun grunted. "Doesn't matter, and if it does I'll piss on the Hokage's desk."

Kakashi snorted. "That's a terrible idea."

"Fine, I'll shit on it," Izumi joked, or at least Kakashi hoped she was.

"That's even worse!" Tenten cried.


Happy New Year! Hope 2022 goes well for everyone :)
