Hallo! Random authors note! Shippuden (part two of the story) is coming soon! I'm just going to add chapters to this book, but I'll make sure to tell you guys whenever Shippuden actually starts. It might be the next chapter, but I haven't decided yet! So, look forward to some hard core development and some more Obito and Kakashi! What would happen if Tobi and Himiko met whenever Tobi joins the Akatsuki?! Would she recognized him as the man from her dreams?! Would she know that it was Obito?! Would Obito recognize her, even though he thinks she's dead?!
...The world may never know....
(Just kidding, they'll know whenever I write it, lol?)

Anyway, thanks for all the support and keep on commenting and everything! It really makes my day and inspires me to keep writing whenever I get positive feedback from you all!
(Also, I changed the title orientation to where it has the chapter number first, so it'll help a little bit?)

Himiko's pov

I focus some of my chakra and teleport to my secret hideaway on the outskirts of the village. Right when my feet hit the smooth pebbles of the beach, I collapse onto my knees and burst into tears. Hot tears rush down my cheeks as I curl my knees against my chest, burying my face into my hands. My whole body trembles as I sob quietly, with just a bird song to comfort me.
That hallway, that dream walk that I just witnessed...
The blood.
"Oh, no..." I sob harder, gasping for air as I struggle to breathe. I could still feel it on my fingers, the dried crimson residue. I knew, for certain, that the blood was mine. That entire hallway was covered in my blood, the floorboards and walls. A feeling of horror flickers in my chest whenever I remember the darkness that clung to everything. What was it hiding and why was there so much blood?
"Why?" I ask, voice empty but heavy with tears. I lay down on my side and curl into a ball, folding in on myself. "Why....?"
My hand was still burnt from the doorknob, which left a brand on my palm. It was a a word, but basically illegable. I study the kanji, trancing it with gentle fingers as my tears slip past my eyelashes. What did it say? What was behind that door, where the blood and glimpse of light came from?

Once my tears slow and eventually come to an end, after I push down all my fears and questions. I sit along side the water and dip my burnt hand into the cool swimming hole. The relief was instant and I allow myself to enjoy it. I close my eyes and listen to the breeze that dances through the leaves of the trees that surround me. I sit perfectly still and a warm happy feeling fills my chest. I could hear laughing and taking from distant memories of the time Obito and I would spend here together. My hand lifts to my neck and my thumb rubs the Uchiha emblem, a real smile appears on my lips for the first time in a while.
"Obito... At... At least you're alive." I whisper to myself, wiping the remaining tears off of my cheeks and look up at the setting sun. The warm colors fade into each other beautifully and I admire it, my chin tilted to face the sky. "But I wish you were here."

For a second, I believed that Obito was going to walk out of the bushes infront of me with his big smile. He'd has his arms spread open for a hug, standing infront of me.
"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, Himi." He'd tell me in a voice that I would instantly recognize as his. I would rush into his arms and know that I belong there.
But, of course, life isn't some Hallmark movie. Obito wasn't coming through those bushes and I wouldn't get my hug. Hell, I might not even get Obito. And I definitely won't right now.
I sigh and stand to my feet, brushing the grass and everything off of my pants and checking the teleportation sticker tucked against a tree. It was still in good condition from my last visit, so I won't have to replace it today. I take one last look around my little piece of heaven and focus my chakra to teleport back to my room with the Akatsuki. I hear a small noise from the left and see a light grey puppy burst through the bushes. His bright blue eyes were glues into me as his owner runs after him. Kakashi's eyes land on me and his feet freeze, hand stopped as he gave up chasing Den.
"Kakashi, Den..." I smile at them gentle before I disappear with the wind. I saw a glimpse of Kakashi reaching out for me and I hear a mornful howl that Raiden released as he watches his mama disappear again.
