Obito DxD

Chapter 6

"It seems your plan worked, Leader-sama."

Two sets of heavy footsteps walked into a damp cave, the sun shining through the opening which gave them ample lighting in which they could see.

Inside of the cave was a table with scattered notes on top of it and other basic necessities. It was underwhelming at best but it would do for now. Obito was much more worried about practicalities than what it would look like. Raynare had disagreed with him on that front but his decisions were always final and she never since then complained.

"My plans always work, Raynare." Obito sat down in his chair and pushed himself until he was at his desk. He slipped off his mask, feeling his skin cool from the furnace that was the inside of his mask. He never reacted much to it but he was always annoyed when he wore any of his mask for too long and heat began to get trapped inside.

He ignored the sweat on his face and began filing through his notes. Inside them were information he had so far on the Factions as well as any other extra ordinary powers he had seen so far. This was his way to carefully plan out his next move with the best information he had on hand. He already made sure his plan was both full proof and accounted for every variable with all the information he had.

His train of thought stopped when a cool towel dabbed his forehead. He looked up to see a red faced Raynare looking away from him.

"You looked a little sweaty. Here." She held out the towel for him and he took it with a grateful nod.

He wiped his face as he read through his notes. He had wondered just how long the battle between those Factions would be. He had a Shadow Clone stationed in the shadows that would report everything that happened in the battle. From abilities to the words that they spoke. All information he could gather at this point was an absolute necessity and he was glad he had so much chakra to spare for this purpose. He had his own plan to work with anyway.

"Can I ask you something?" Raynare said suddenly.

"What is it?"

The light in her eyes seemed to dim slightly. "Why do you want to make this world a better place so badly? I can tell... that this isn't just for the sake of everyone."

"Your point?"

"Your past. What happened to you? Why are you so distant and cold? At times you can be warm and even smile but even then there's a sadness and loneliness in your eyes that I can't even describe." She blurted out.

Obito closed his eyes, letting his body rile down. He was better than his childish self. He needed to keep calm. When he opened then back again, he spoke. "I wonder why you care so much. The Raynare I know doesn't give a damn about anyone but herself."

She looked down. "Maybe I give a damn about you." She muttered and Obito felt his heart drop. He turned to her and stared, unsure if he heard correctly. "You taught me that superiority and pride were foolish. Not only foolish personally but also in this war that's going on. Since I was little all I was taught was to hate those Devils and Angels; and that we Fallen were the best and had the right to conquer them. I wanted to impress my superiors and show them I was something. I wanted to be a factor. But I always thought about one thing that I had kept suppressed for so long. What am I really fighting for? Why am I doing this? Why did we start waging war in the first place? What's my purpose?"

Obito saw something wet but the ground in front of her and his eyes widened. She was crying. She lifted her head and he could finally see her reddened face and puffed up eyes.
