The truth are lies : obito love story

Chapter 13

Reiko's (Aoi) POV

I entered my room and noticed there were a few things that weren't mentioned.

First being the obvious: my change of hair color. Then the name change and finally the location I had gone to.

I knew I had to explain that all tomorrow morning, but for now I locked the door behind me and began to get ready for bed.

I looked out the window and sighed. I could be dead in two years. I could be mrs. Uchiha in two years. Or I could be Aoi Miyamoto in two years.

Each scenario had a drawback but that's life in a sense. You never know what's going to happen, and when it does happen, you might not like the result.

I shook my head. I'll worry about it when the deadline is near, as of now, I'll worry about myself and watching obito.

I got into bed and still thought about it all. I knew I had forgotten to say something important. But I couldnt pinpoint it.

Whether it involved kiki or the akatsuki or something it was just nagging me. I rolled over and faced the wall and closed my eyes. I'm worrying too much, I need to change my thoughts.

I woke up the next morning to see obito with his mask on and sitting on the couch. "You need a t.v" he said bored ly.

"Well I'm never home so it never occurred to me" he turned his head.

"Why not?" I stared.

"What?"

"Why aren't you ever home?" Ah, that. Before I answered I started to ponder what to say. Should I tell him the truth or just lie. I mentally shook my head, lying won't help, it'll hurt.

"I usually work until six, and sometimes I uh.... go out" I tried to walk towards the kitchen but obito spoke up.

"Go out? By yourself or with someone?" He started to press the issue.

"Well, uh. Usually by myself but there's a friend-" I was sharply cut off.

"Who's the friend?" He stood up and walked towards me.

"Just the person who helped me out when I came. We go out to eat sometimes and hang out." I turned away and began to rummage through the fridge.

"What's their name?" Oh no. I couldnt lie, but I had try to avoid the question.

"Uh, kotetsu" I quietly mumbled as obito began leaning against the fridge.

"Ah, so it's another man." He seemed hurt and angered at the same time. "I remember him, he's the man with the bandages right?"

"Ack, Wait you know him!" I was startled by what he had said and lost my posture.

"You have to remember I grew up in this village. I had friends, family......and conrades before I died and got rescued." He looked away. It seemed he was keeping one thing away from me, however.

"Well, sort of yes, he helped me get a job, a house, and has helped me out since I came." I didnt question it, if he wasnt going to tell me i wasnt going to force him. Obito was silent for a bit.

"Does he still hang out with izumo?" I was again startled by his question. It almost appeared like he wanted avoid the inevitable.

"Uh, yes he does. He introduced me to him a while after I arrived." He was silent again.

"Am i interrupting your relationship with him?" Obito questioned angrily finally asking what he dearly wanted to know.

"No, there's nothing there. I've heard he has feelings." I closed the fridge and faced him.

"Well that answers half of my question. What about you?"

"I honestly have none. I just enjoy his company, he's a girlfriend with a different anatomy." Obito turned away yet again. He brought his hand to his mask and held it there for a bit. I didnt know if he was smiling or what.

"That makes it easier for me. Just stop seeing him and it'll be a lot eas-" what did he just say?

"Excuse me? Who are you to tell me who I can and can't see?" He turned around and looked at me.

"The man who you are going to fall in love with."

"How can you be so confident that that's going to happen?" He smiled slyly.

"Because I made it happen once before didnt I?"

------------------------

I had left the house a bit after. Kotetsu will never be able to meet obito or vice versa. I walked to the dango shop before I heard my name called out from behind.

I turned around and saw kotetsu in casual clothes walking towards me. I then remembered I forgot to explain everything that's changed about me to obito. Curse my sucky memory.

I smiled and gave kotetsu a hug as he neared me. I've somewhat changed, I'm now freely able to talk to people and more comfortable with some to do normal things. In kotetsu's case it was hugging when I saw, as a friendly courtesy.

I looked at him differently today however. He had grown up with obito and then lost him. I wanted to ask if he remembered or cared but I held back.

That would raise more questions than needed, and I had a feeling he had put it behind him and forgot.

I then shifted my view. I focused more on what was happening between us. I somewhat did lead him on, unknowingly. I was thinking about whether changing my attitude with him but he soon looked down at me and started talking.

"I was talking to my aunt and she said she'll be happy to give you the day off today." I was taken aback.

"What, why?" He smiled shyly.

"Cause I thought we could spend the day together, and maybe uh.....sleep over." Let me just start with this: emotional turmoil.

Those are the words that best, no perfectly described what was going on with me. I was nervous, excited, worried, ect. I was everything on the spectrum from basic happy to extreme fright.

I didnt have the heart to reject him outright, but I couldn't really accept. I had an agreement with obito, a two year one. But I soon found a loophole: I never said I had to halt my life.

I did enjoy being with him, a girlfriend with a different anatomy. I smiled mentally, of everything I came up with that's got to be near the top.

I smiled at kotetsu and accepted his offer. It was the least I could do to repay my debt. He seemed to beam after my answer.

"Well the days a wasting" he led me back to the village and we walked around for a bit. I didnt want to call it a date, it was more like an outing. We met up with several people, that alone made me feel better.

We went out to eat, saw a movie, hanged out for a bit, and just enjoyed ourselves until the sun had set. During the entire thing I felt something was following us, something was watching.

Everytime that feeling came, I shook it away. I shouldn't be thinking about that, especially if I'm trying to enjoy myself.

Eventually night started to take over and we decided to call it to an end. I then remembered kotetsu's little "sleep over" part.

I'm not sure If i was ready, even if it's just sleeping in the same house. But it thankfully never went to that. After we said goodbye to the rest of the group he took me home and never mentioned it.

After we had said goodbye he left me alone in front of the door. Compared to the times we hanged out before, this felt unusually wrong.

I didnt really enjoy as I looked back, not because of everyone else, but probably because of obito.

Whether it was him showing up unexpectedly or the fact he wanted kotetsu to stop, it turned my life into a whirlwind.

I started to question certain things, but think about changing others. I smiled slightly; all this was leading to the happiness I hope I have with him one day.

Mrs. Obito Uchiha sounded right in my mind.

When I opened the door I was welcomed by quiet Obito.
