The truth are lies : obito love story

Chapter 12

Reiko's (Aoi) POV

The days I spent in the little house outside the village passed quickly. Days turned into months rather fast.

It has been almost a year since I ran away. I routinely get my hair dyed, but in a village some distance away. I'd rather keep that a secret then gain suspicion.

There hasn't been any trouble regarding, well, anybody. The akatsuki haven't come anywhere near the village, or I would have heard something and ran.

I haven't had any trouble with anyone in the village or people who had come to the dango shop.

I've been living a peaceful life. The thoughts of Obito drift into my mind only rarely now. Even when I do think about him, I imagine him happy, but with kiki.

And everytime I do think about him, I remind myself I don't need a man like that. Well, I didn't really need a man in general.

I've heard rumors that kotetsu, I'll put it in the words I heard, has a 'thing' for me. I continue to act like I've never heard it, but whenever I see him it Springs to mind.

I didnt want to hurt the guy, but I didn't want to hurt myself either. I refused to care about anyone other than myself, but even then I couldn't fully refuse kotetsu.

I would go out with him and hed usually bring along Izumo. They are rarely apart and I have enjoyed both of their company.

I shook my head and returned to work, not really a time to dwell on the past or future. I served my last table before I bid goodbye to the rest of the staff.

Dueing my time i found a small shortcut through the woods that would lead me to my house in less time. My house has really upgraded since I moved in.

I've cleaned it throughout and made repairs. Well kotetsu made repairs in reality. I couldn't really trust myself with a hammer if it didnt relate to killing anyone.

The outside of the house was restored as well. The grass surounding the house was cut, the weeds were pulled, plants were planted, and the forest around the house was chopped down. That was done by Izumi, I didn't trust the insects that might live there.

I didnt want that part to happen, but it was recommended. In the end it give me more space, provide firewood, and give me more of a view.

The inside of the house was furnished to my taste. I had saved up enough money throughout the almost year I've been here to buy furniture.

I even bought a new bed, since I lost trust of the last one when I saw something huge crawl away from it in the middle of the night.

Let's just say, nothing needs more than four legs and venom that can kill a man in an hour. But that's just me.

I watched as my house slowly came into view. I still smiled everytime I saw it, I was proud of its improvement.

I walked up to the door to unlock it. I had the habit of locking everything before I leave, but when I turned the knob I noticed it was open.

I laughed slightly, I must have forgotten this morning. I pushed the door open and stepped inside. I was about to close the door behind me when something grabbed me, rather someone.

Their hand wrapped around my waist while the other slammed my door shut. I knew screaming wouldn't help. The one downside of a house this far out is no one can hear me.

That would be good for somethings, but at this moment it was bad. I turned my head slightly just to see something orange at eye level and something red and black below.

My heart dropped and my face went pale. "So this is where you've been for the past year." I heard the familiar voice of Obito Uchiha.

"What are you doing here?" I tried my best to hide my fear, I had escaped this long, will I be able to do it again?

"Well for starters bring you back to me and keep you from being killed by pein." Obito calmly said. No more like casually, as if we talked every day.

"To you? I'm not yours and I'm not going to get killed by anyone." I defiantly said but that worsened his grip on my body. His arm tightened around me and began to squish my organs.

"Yes you are. Besides you can't leave the akatsuki. Either you come back by will or ill take you by force." He coldly replied.

"No I'm not, take me back and I'll die." His grip lessened a bit.

"What?" Obito was obviously puzzled.

"Take me back and I'll kill myself." Silence followed suit, but soon ended when he spoke up.

"I'll prevent that from happening." I laughed almost maniacally.

"You can't be there all the time. There will be a time where I'm alone and I'll do it. I'm not happy there I'm happy here, take that away and I'll end it all."

He let me go, but quickly slammed me against the door. "Dont talk like suicide is the easiest thing in the world, like it's the answer."

"I'd rather be dead than be with you and those murderers." I coldly replied. I didnt believe it was an answer, or an escape, I just didn't want to be with them. I'd rather be dead than return, either way he didnt like it.

"Shut up. What will it take to bring you back? I've spent this entire time looking for you by myself. I basically left the akatsuki just to find you, I traveled almost around the world just for you."

I thought. What exactly did I want. I lost most, if not all of my feelings for him, but I knew he hadnt. I also knew a part of me, somewhere, wanted him back.

Wanted my last name to be Uchiha, wanted to wake up in the morning next to him, wanted more than to throw him away. That's when I decided.

"Have me fall in love with you again within the next two years
If you can't, you'll have to kill me." He stared back in disbelief.

"Dont you lo-" I cut him off rather sharply. By my sudden shift in tone he let me go.

"No I don't. Over the past year, all those feelings have dissapeared."

"So you're telling me I have to make-"

"Convince" I cut him off and corrected him.

"OK, convince you to fall in love with me again within two years. And if not?"

"Kill me because I abandoned the akatsuki or let me live my own life if you can't bring yourself to." I replied trying to get him interested. He obviously was thinking it over, finally he turned to me.

"Fine, in two years I'll make-"

"Convince" I cut him off again.

"Fine, in two years I have to convince you to love me again. If not ill kill you or let you go." I nodded my head. "I'll need a place to stay though."

"I think my couch is enough for you." I pointed to it and he looked disgusted.

"We've slept in the same bed before can't i-"

"No, you sleep away from me."

Obito sighed, I knew this was going to be difficult.
