The Lost Family (Uchiha, Obito Story)

Chapter IV

Chapter Four:

I don’t remember falling asleep, but I remember Max above me, pulling the covers up. Would she really answer me on... what was my question again? I would have face palmed but my body was too tired to move. 

Glancing around the gray room with blurry and unfocused eyes, I noticed there were colors different from the normal purple and blue. Most were darker colors that blended in with the dark gray light that flooded in from her window. My eyes were too blurred, to tired, and my mind was doing nothing but telling my body to calm down and to rest. So I did what I had to, I closed my eyes and drifted off into the world of sleep.

'Yes, sleep will ease my mind.'

I’m not sure what I woke up too, but I woke with a start and my eyes flashed to the door, as if thats where the threat came from. I heard someone curse, the voice was deep, so I knew it was a male. My heartbeat excelerated just a bit and my body tensed, making me let out a small grunt. The male on the otherside kept cursing and trying to open the door.

I had the sudden urge to call out who was there? But I kept my mouth shut and watched the door calmly, whoever was behind it tried to open the door, I knew this because the door handle jiggled. Whoever wanted in seemed very weak. I didn’t move, but just closed my eyes and stayed still. It was going to be hard to adjust to this body. I don’t know how I managed to walk or even move when getting here, maybe it was because I didn’t want to appear weak in front of a girl, a non ninja girl at that. Or maybe adrenaline had moved me?

“Kid, I know you’re in there.” A man’s voice startled me, hhow would he know...?

I chose to stay silent, deciding it would be better to listen to Max, a person I fairly knew, over a man who might have been bluffing.

“I can feel your chakra.” The man stated bluntly, and my eyes widened.

Terror overroad me and tears prickled in my eyes, 'what would this man do to me? To sense me he must be a ninja...' Then I noticed, he had chakra as well. But it was faint, as if he had a seal on it or had used a lot of it. How was he not dead?

I decided to answer, “Who are you?”

“Open the door.” The male demanded.

A tick mark appeared on my head, what a jerk! He wouldn’t even answer my question! Grr, there is no way I would open the door, even if I could move! Instead of letting my internal anger seep out, I just muttered, “I can’t move.”

“That makes two of us,” the man mumbled back.

“Eh?”

“Just... Eh, I’ll use the key.” I heard rustling for a couple of moments before a ‘click’ and the door swung open. In limped a man with dark, maybe black, hair, lean, yet worn, looking body, and... Oh my god. 

My eyes widened, “Sh-sharingan!” I tried to move, but the pain was sharp and so I winced instead, my eye closing because of the sudden pain.

“Calm down, I just wanna lay the rules down.” My jaw dropped, was this Max’s father?! And what did he mean by rules? Wait, if this was Max’s father, did that mean that she was an Uchiha, too? No, Uchiha’s can’t have hazel eyes, can they? Max’s supposed father walked over to her desk and collapsed in her chair, holding up a hand while he tried to regain his breath.

“Wait! Who are you?!” I cried, I needed answers to, and I certainly wasn’t going to be bossed around by someone I didn’t know. Max I knew fairly well, and besides, all she has been is kind, maybe a bit pushy, but kind nonetheless.
