FATE | Kakashi x OC x Obito

Chapter 21

*6 months later*

*Writer's POV*

Megumi's bandages have been removed 2 days ago and today will be her first meeting with Lord Danzo after going on a break.

She had put on her anbu uniform, tied her hair in a high ponytail, and put on her anbu fox mask.

When she got out of the room, Mitsuki greeted her.

"Hi sis! First day at work?" He winked and smiled.

Megumi nodded and he excitedly said:

"I am going to ask Reina to marry me." He grinned.

"Reina? I though you broke up?" Megumi asked

"That was 4 months ago. We are madly and deeply in love... And I think it's about time to ask for her hand... What do you think?" He continued to smile.

"I am happy as long as you're happy, Mitsuki. But aren't you rushing a bit? You're only 17." Megumi said while fixing her shoes.

"Well.. She was kinda giving me a hint to propose these past few days... Anyway, I love her and I will propose to her soon. You'll have a new sister... And she's an Uchiha." He said winking at his sister.

"It doesn't really matter to me, Mitsuki. As long as you love her then you have my blessing. See you later" Megumi smiled and used transportation jutsu to Lord Danzo's office.

When she arrived at the office, Lord Danzo and the Hokage were already waiting for her. She immediately kneeled on one knee.

"We have summoned you to inform you about your mission." Lord Danzo said and continued, "We need to get rid of Uchiha Reina. She is being used by the Uchiha clan to spy on the village and she is using your brother too, whom will all know, works very close with the Hokage. The said clan is apparently planning a coup d'etat against the village. If that happens, I cannot assure the safety of everyone, including your brother and Kakashi."

He paused and added, "I do not care how you'll take care of this but I want her out of the village for good. If ever she steps inside Konoha again, that would be a mission failed. You are not to say a single word to anyone about this mission and I want this done in 2 days."

"Understood." Megumi said in a stern voice.

"Good. You may go." Lord Danzo left and Megumi turned into smoke.

Megumi went to Minato's grave and sat there longer than usual. The sun is setting and she is planning to do her mission tonight to get it over with.

"Want some company?" She heard somebody said behind her but she did not turn around. She knew it was Kakashi.

He sat beside Megumi and remained silent. He felt the dark aura surrounding her and did not want to ask any further. He knew right away that it's about her mission.

When the skies turned dark, Megumi stood up. Kakashi remained seated and continued to look at Minato's tombstone.

"Whatever you do, I'll always be here for you. You know that, right?" Kakashi stood up and looked at Megumi's icy blue eyes.

"You don't know that you're saying." Megumi said coldly.

"I think I do" Kakashi smiled with his eyes.

"We'll see about that." She said in a flat tone as she put on her fox mask, and disappeared.

Kakashi sighed and went back home.

*Megumi's POV*

I'm waiting at the tree branch overlooking Reina's apartment door. I have to be very accurate and quick so her neighbors won't have time to make any commotion.

A few minutes later, Reina was walking along the corridor towards her apartment with my brother. They looked very happy and she wouldn't stop talking about her new ring. When they reached Reina's apartment door, they kissed and Reina waited for my brother to go down before unlocking her door.

*Kakashi's POV*

The Hokage have told me about Megumi's mission and asked me to keep an eye on her. I am to report back to him when Megumi's mission is cleared, and make sure that she's safe.

Sooner or later, Mitsuki will know the truth about this mission, and figure out that it was her sister who did the deed, because he knows Megumi's abilities well. Lord Danzo and the Hokage are worried that she might be killed by her own brother and the village could not afford to lose a powerful shinobi like her.

I arrived at the location just on time. Megumi is on one of the tree branches and getting ready.

Just when Reina opened the door, she suddenly collapsed. In a blink of an eye, Megumi's job is done. She used a very thin ice needle to hit Reina's vital point. It is as small as sand, and can be found on the nape.

The ice needle that was used was thinner than hair. Nobody will suspect that Reina was murdered. People will think that it was just a natural death. There is no trace of evidence everywhere.

A perfect assassination.

When I looked back at the tree branch where Megumi was standing a few seconds ago, she was already gone.

15 minutes later, people started to gather around Reina's lifeless body, including Mitsuki. He did not cry. Instead, he looked at the trees and seemed to be looking for someone who isn't there.

I used transportation jutsu to quickly report to Lord Danzo and the Hokage. I have told them what happened and Lord Danzo said with a huge grin,

"Very impressive. Just what I always expect from her."

*Writer's POV*

Megumi went to Minato's grave even if it was raining heavily. She sat down, threw her fox mask on the ground, hugged her legs, and sobbed as loud as she could.

Kakashi is looking out for her and is hiding in one of the trees surrounding the place. It is hard to see Megumi suffer like this but he also knew that she needed some alone time.

About an hour later, Megumi wore back her fox mask, stood up and decided to go in the woods. It was still raining heavily as she skipped through the tree branches as fast as she could. She looked straight and didn't seem to care of her surroundings.

When she decided to go back, she turned around but because of her speed, her foot slipped, mask dropped, and her face is approaching a huge rock.

She was ready to die but somebody coming from her side caught her. She squeaked in surprise. Everything went so fast and she just closed her eyes until the person stopped and put her on the ground.

"Now now, aren't you supposed to be home?" Kakashi asked and smiled with his eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Megumi looked at him and asked.

"You need to go back now, Megumi. It's late." Kakashi stopped smiling. It was an order.

Megumi did not walk to talk or argue. So she just looked at him and nodded.

Kakashi sent Megumi home but did not want to come in, as he wanted Megumi to rest early.

"I guess I'll keep going. I have another mission tomorrow." He said and smiled at her.

She did not smile nor frown. She did not give emotions at all. Instead, she unlocked the door and went inside.

When Kakashi was about to go back home using transportation jutsu, he heard a sharp sound followed by a rumble on the ground.
