Four years ago.

Kakashi's POV

6/8/####

I remember that day very well. I remember the way you acted, the way you flinched every time someone touched you, the bruises, and the cuts. I remember that weird gut feeling I felt when I walked you home. I remember the way you hugged me like it was going to be the last time you would see me. I remember that call... the way you sounded so broken...

You had been acting weird lately, well weirder than usual. You've been coming to school with bruises and cuts. When I asked you about it you had just told me you had tripped, or a cat had scratched you. And I honestly believed you. Weird things always happened around you, so when you started flinching that when I was sure something was up.

It was a Friday afternoon. I was walking you home like I usually do, but I couldn't help but notice how tense you were. "Well, we're here." You had just nodded while looking down. I reached out to and touched your shoulder, but you flinched when I touched you. "Obito are you ok?" You just looked at me and smiled. It was a fake smile. "Yeah, I'm fine just not having a good day." You walked closer to me and hugged me. I was not expecting it, but I quickly hugged back after a while. You hugged me tighter. I could hear the rapid beating of your heart. "Goodbye Kakashi...." You said it as if it was the last time you would see me. "Goodbye?" You let go of me and walked into the house. I stood there for about a minute. I keep getting the unsettling feeling like something bad is going to happen if I leave you alone. I just shoved down my feelings and walked home.

After an hour or two I just couldn't take it anymore! I got up from my bed and walked outside. Maybe I should go check on you? Yeah, that seems like a good idea. On the way there I got a phone call. It was you. I quickly picked up.

"Hey, Obito h-."

"Kakashi you got to help me!"

"Woah Obito what wrong?"

You didn't answer.

"Obito are you there?"

"My parents....."

"What about your parents?"

You sighed.

"For the past year or so my parents have been abusing me...."

My breath hitched.

How did I miss this? It was so obvious! The bruises! The cuts!

"And it just keeps getting worse."

Your voice cracked.

"How so?"

You took a deep breath.

"My dad has been touching me.."

My whole world stopped.

"Obito did he?"

"Mhm."

I could hear you start sobbing.

"What about your mom?"

"She just sat there and watched!"

What type of sick o -?

"Kakashi I'm so scared."

I sighed.

"Obito?"

"Yes?"
