Rin's frown deepened as she looked on as the new reporter spoke about the situation with Kakashi and the Hero Commission. She can't help but be worried. Why would Kakashi kill so many? Why would he let so many know of his abilities? She wouldn't lie and pretend that almost every boy she knew was reckless and threw caution to the wind but Kakashi wasn't like that. He was studious, careful, and poised. Very little could rattle him. When her emotions were out of control seeing him just keeping calm and figuring out each situation they found themselves in made her crush on him turn into love. But she knew he had violence in his heart. Every Shinobi had to. But to do all this... she wasn't sure she fully believed it. Some of it had to be a lie. But how much of it was true?

She needed to know. She needed to find him. But she had no clue what she should do or how she should go about it. The thought of the other human in the house suddenly came to mind. She couldn't leave now. Not without helping the dying woman. Shinso would be going to school and said that he wouldn't come back for a while because they were going on a trip. Something about a joint trip with other divisions of the school. She wished she'd paid a bit more attention, but seeing Kakashi flustered her.

At least she wasn't alone in this world. But he had been. For who knows how long. No longer though. She would find him. Even if she had to expose herself to the public eye.

"Crazy, right?"

Rin hadn't been so lost in thought that she missed the footsteps coming up behind her, so Hitoshi hadn't surprised her.

"Yeah, it really is."

"Who could've guessed it would get this bad? I thought it would start and end with that attack at UA."

Rin locked eyes with him. "What do you mean by that?"

He raised an eyebrow at her. "You don't know? This all started when those villains attack UA to try and beat up All Might. Ever since then, it's only gotten worse."

"Why do you think they're doing it?"

Hitoshi hummed, eyes turning upward in an outward display to show that he was thinking. "If I remember correctly, they said it had something to do with the leader having some sort of grudge with All Might. I guess most villains would though."

Those words ran through her mind a couple of times. She let it. She didn't want to miss a single word that he had said. If this started with UA, and most of the people that have been involved in the situation were from UA then it's likely that they will target UA again. They failed the first time, but it didn't look like they'd lost the will to fight. If anything, it looked like an attack on UA was imminent.
