Wrinkle In Space: Book 4 in the Shifting Series

Another World

Kakashi was holding his head in his hand as Sarah and Naruto went back and forth with each other. He did not see the disagreement ending anytime soon. They were so much alike in some ways. He was inclined to believe that Sarah might have opened the portal on accident, but she had great control over her powers now. It was not like it had been in the past at all, where the portals would open sporadically depending on if she was in a place of distress or emotional duress. She had been in high spirits actually so even that criteria didn't fall into place.

On his shoulders, Obito shifted slightly. He glanced up at his son and narrowed his eyes slightly as he noticed his eyes were glowing with blue fire. His Dojutsu had only recently been activated and from what they had seen so far, he had very similar abilities to his mother. "Obito... do you have something you would like to say?"

His son looked down at him then glanced away, "Not really." His cheeks were a little pink above his mask and his eyes had a rather guilty cast to them.

"Obito," Kakashi warned.

It was not often that Kakashi had to get after Obito. Tiberius was their troublemaker, not Obito. Obito was usually the level headed one and the one that stayed out of trouble. Kakashi could tell that his son was biting his lip beneath the mask like his mother would do when she was nervous. He then turned his hazel eyes down to his father.

"I did it," Obito admitted finally.

Naruto and Sarah both stopped arguing with each other and looked to him. "What did he just say?" Naruto asked.

"I brought her here," Obito stated louder.

Sarah's mouth dropped open slightly. He had only just tapped into his abilities. How did he already know how to open a portal? It had to be a mistake. "On accident?"

"No, I did it on purpose," Obito answered as he folded his arms in front of him defensively. "I heard her screaming for help and saw that they were about to kill her in my mind. So I opened the portal and brought her here. We're supposed to help people as Shinobi aren't we? I mean, I heard her all the way here... surely that means I was supposed to help her."

Naruto's mouth opened and closed. Sarah could tell he was upset but he couldn't argue with Obito's logic. She wasn't sure how to answer that question herself. The only person she had ever had that happen with was her brother and that had been a personal connection. This was different and in it, she wondered just how divergent his abilities and skills would be from her own.

Tiberius started howling with laughter, "Finally, I'm not the one in trouble! Oh you've done it now, Obito! Lord Seventh is gonna kill you!"

Obito glared at him and Kakashi had to grab him as he tried to lunge at his brother from his shoulders. "Settle down, Obito," Kakashi warned him as he restrained him. He then sent a dark look at Tiberius. "Don't provoke your brother, Tiberius."

Ti continued to smirk and looked down at Carolyn on his hip. She grinned back at him and the two of them looked like co-conspirators. Naruto raked his fingers through his hair before looking at Obito.

"Yes, Obito, we do help people in danger," he finally said. He turned to look at Sarah, "Sorry that I didn't believe you."

Sarah gave him a slight smile, "Well as many times as I've done it...."

Naruto laughed softly, "Well I can't fault Obito on this one Auntie. He responded as a Shinobi should although I'm beginning to think that our world is turning into a refugee center for people from your world."

Melissa moved around Iruka and narrowed her eyes as she looked at the woman in Yamato's arms. She then started laughing hard, "Klaudia! Oh my god... It didn't click in my mind until just now! It's me... Melissa Warner... we used to talk in that Sexy Anime Men chat group!"
