When Death Tries To Greet You

6.

Obito stared at his ceiling with an empty feeling in his stomach. Naruto was dangerous? Usually he believed every word that came out of Rin's mouth, but this time he couldn't believe it, he just couldn't.

And it wasn't fair, either. Naruto hadn't even gotten the chance to speak with Rin, and it seemed like Rin hated her guts. This made him doubt his choice in ignoring Rin's warning—

Rin usually never "hated" anyone. She was a nice girl, that was why he fell in love with her. So why did she dislike Naruto so strongly?

Maybe she finally reciprocated his feelings? Obito shifted in his blankets, growing angry at the fact that he didn't feel at all excited by the thought of Rin liking him. There had to be another answer.

Naruto was a loud mouthed, harmless, pig like eating girl. She wouldn't hurt a fly, even Minato saw it. He grinned lightly at the thought of the blonde girl. He yawned loudly, and turned to his side. He would speak with Kushina about it tomorrow, he could trust her with anything.
————————
"And you said she doesn't like her, dattebane?!"

Obito sighed deeply and rubbed his temples. Maybe confiding in Kushina wasn't the right choice, even he found himself acting out of character at her loudness.

Kushina stood up, her hair flying dangerously "I oughta," she made punching motions in the air, "she better not be messing with Rin, dattebane!"

Obito shook his head, "No Kushina-sensei, she's not messing with Rin, they haven't even interacted before." Which Obito found weird, since they went on a whole mission together.

Kushina stared at him disbelievingly, and Obito's leg started to twitch. He found himself getting angry on Naruto's behalf, since she genuinely didn't do anything wrong.

Kushina looked in thought, before she spoke loudly, "I want to meet this Naruto."

Obito rolled his eyes, convincing Kushina was like arguing with a wall. "She's not what you think, Kushina-sensei. She's very kind and strong. Let's go meet her, you'll see." The red haired woman punched at the air once more, before dragging Obito out the door.
————————
Kushina followed Obito to the training ground, and Obito was growing anxious by the second. He prayed that his two favorite people got along. His heart wasn't strong enough to chose between someone like a sister to him and.. Naruto.

"Why are we at the training gro-" Obito slapped a hand over Kushina's mouth, and pointed to where Naruto sat cross-legged. She looked extremely peaceful, and Obito was awe-struck really.

Obito led Kushina to Naruto, and he waited until the blonde girl opened her eyes. "Aha! Obito and.." the blondes eyes into one's that seemed to be filled with terror, before they cleared quickly. Kushina's eyes narrowed at the girl,

"And Kushina Uzumaki, dattebane. And you are?"

Now it was Obito's turn to look shocked. Uzumaki? He had forgotten that they shared a last name. Holy shit, we're they related? Now that he thought about it, he'd never seen any of Naruto's relatives.

"My name is Naruto." The blonde looked terrified, and rightfully so. Kushina looked as if she was interrogating the girl.

Kushina's face suddenly was filled with joy, and she hugged the blonde girl tightly. Obito gaped, and Naruto paled. Her mood had done a complete one-eighty.

"You're so cute Naruto-chan! Surely you're not a bully, no?" Kushina cooed and rubbed Naruto's head.

Naruto blushed and looked away, embarrassed. Now that he was looking at them standing next to eachother, Obito noticed that Kushina and Naruto shared similarities as well.

Their eyes, both held a darker ring around the iris and their face shape was similar. He assumed that it was an Uzumaki thing, and shrugged.

Soon enough, Obito was being pulled off to eat Ichiraku's with the pair. He sighed, patting where his wallet sat in his pocket sadly.

—————————

Obito was walking home with Naruto on his back. Kushina had let the girl drink tonight, and she passed out. They had walked like this many times before.

He unlocked his door, and called out that he was home even though nobody was there. His house in the compound was empty, but he didn't feel as sad right now. He looked at Naruto and sighed.

Obito sat Naruto onto the floor, and left for his room to find a blanket. When he came back, though, she was awake and staring at him.

"Naruto-"

Naruto shook her head, cutting him off rudely. "How did I get here Obito?" Obito scratched his neck and tossed her the blanket. "You passed out after drinking. The couch folds out, by the way. You can crash here until you're awake enough to go." Naruto nodded her head and motioned for him to come closer. He did, and she hugged him and rubbed his head.

"Thank you Obi. Goodnight." She pulled out the couch and jumped on it, passing out almost instantly.

Obito watched her breathing for a few minutes, before walking back to his room, and settling under his own covers awkwardly. It had been a while since he had another person sleeping in his house, and he was painfully aware of her presence. Her snores were annoyingly loud, but calming in a way. He fell asleep counting them.
—————————
Obito had the day off, and he stayed in bed bunched under his covers. It had been a while since he had time to just sleep. And with his team's excessive training because of the Kannabi mission, he was often tired.

He wondered if Naruto had left yet. He hadn't heard the door open, but she probably left before he woke. He prayed silently that she had, he was extremely exhausted.

A knock at his window startled him, and he turned to see blonde hair hanging upside down. He yawned, opening the window just enough for her to get in. So she had left, but she came back. Great.

  "Hey, Obito! Let's go out to the village hmm?"

  Obito groaned loudly and waved her off. "I'm tired Naruto. Go out with your clones or something." Naruto stood still, before forming the signs for shadow clones. She nodded at her clone and it henged into Obito. Obito gaped, and pointed an accusing finger.

"Identity theft is a crime, Naruto!"

  Naruto snickered and his.. imposter grabbed her hand. They left out to the village, leaving Obito alone in his bed.

  He seethed, plotting his revenge on the unsuspecting shadow clone. That bastard, stealing Naruto with his face. He got up and hastily put on his clothes, he was going to dismiss the clone and take his place. Like a ninja of course. Ninjas don't get jealous.
