At least I was nine...

At least I had his memories...

At least I had time...

I had time, I was only nine. Yet everything pounded and this time waking up again was that much harder. A fog that clouded out my thoughts, and choked out my breath. A strange feel and it's weird. There's something else though. A distant kind of awareness... this wasn't waking up. Not in reality at least.

Slowly I frowned and twitched. One hand, the other, fingers that curled and threaded their way through damp and moist grass. A deep breath and the smallest twitch of my eyelids. Slowly my eyes slid open. I blinked staring up blankly at the expanse above me. At the glittering distant lights that didn't make any clear constellations. At the stars that shone without meaning. I simply breathed.

Rolling my head to the left, there's the staircase leading to nothing, beside the river that flowed to nowhere. And to my right stretched forest, with a door in the tree and a swing set that simply hung there. Forgotten places of childhood. Forgotten places of nightmares. I closed my eyes again and straightened my head. So that I simply lay there breathing facing up towards the sky. A slight breeze, a slight draft and the sound of footsteps.

"Obito?"

I opened my eyes slowly and tilted my head to stare at the intruder. At the one who called me, but not me... It's confusing and I feel the wind whip around, swirling into a funnel around me as I curl in on myself and away from the man who called. Away from the blond hair, and blue eyes... but it's not Minato...

Yamanakas share those traits as well.

And I did mention that there was a demon in here...

"Hey Goggles!" Fire flared, light flashed and Bill is right there twirling his stupid top hat and completely ignoring the Yamanaka who's blinking in a rather humerus(if I'm being honest) reaction. "What's with the Litus here?" and now the triangle actually paid attention to the Yamanaka before laughing and waving a hand. "Uh, uh, uh... No cheating Goggles. Only I'm allowed to do that" And he snapped his fingers and...

Pain, tearing, screaming...

Red, and copper and I clutched at my head as the whole world shook. The trees and ground beneath my feet greyed out for a handful of seconds before returning and my head was still screaming. It was like being ripped in two.

"Sorry Goggles but this is between you and me!" He sounded so cheerful, like he hadn't just put me through whatever that was... "But hey, we can continue this later... It's about time you... WOKE UP... See ya!"

Everything began to fade, after he said that and for a brief moment it's completely black, with a small white glow from somewhere beneath me... and...

Falling.

Falling.

Falling.

-L/B-

Pain shot through my skull and I arched, writhing trying to find some way to get rid of it. I felt as though I had just hit a wall running at top speed, or crashed into the trampoline again before slamming my head onto the cement footpath...

Pain.

Sharp and acute.

I screamed, hands curling in cloth as I eventually gave up trying to move.

"Obito! Obito calm down!" In a brief lull I was able to hear Minato-sensei. And I struggled to open my eyes. Feeling my like they were sealed together with glue it was a fight. To break them apart just to see him looking so worried. And rubbing his temple in the background behind Minato-sensei was a Yamanaka. "It's okay Obito... Everything will be okay..."

"N-No..." I shook my head, because that was easy for him to say.

On my side of things it seemed that Bill was making it some kind of game. Which begged the question, who else was part of this 'game'? Who else was there?

Just who.

"No... Not 'kay..." I slurred my words a bit, head still pounding. "Not 'kay... Demon triangle... Bill... Cipher..." the name meant nothing to them, but it was everything. It was everything because he was the cause of all this, acting in his own interest. To whatever end it might reach. Probably weirdmageddon just in this world rather than... Uh whatever the Gravity Falls world is(well it wasn't quite reality, after all I've never heard of an actual place called Gravity Falls...). "Weirdmageddon!"

Just saying it aloud made it feel more real, more solid and more threatening. Although I don't know which would be worse for this world... that, or the Tsuki no Me. Either or, and in both cases I seem to have been shoved right into the middle of the plot to bring them into fruition. Maybe there's something that I'm missing, or who knows.

It's not even like I've been shoved into the body of a main character either, because no, that would've been Kakashi. I'm the villain, future villain, whatever.

Fact is though I'm still in the middle.

Maybe the universe realigned itself because hey reborn person here, even if I wasn't reborn, even if I never died.

And...

I should have probably being paying some kind of attention to the people around me. Because their mouths are moving, and they're talking to me... Uh, wait, what are they saying?

"...how it meant it." What?

What in the world? I missed something important didn't I, also they're all looking at me now, with the expectation for an answer

I sunk back, pressing myself into the pillow because, stop looking at me. I don't know what you expect.

"Okay..?" and it came out as a question, because my luck won't ever be straight. It's more like a bow really, and not even a neat one... More of a tangled and ripped and oh it almost looks like a bow, but it's more of a knot of ribbon... and...

They were talking again!

I really should have been paying more attention, but my head hurt and I was a bit more focused on other things that were clouding in. Other things from my previous existence, from the life I was no longer really living. It's not exactly easy to separate myself from that life when images and sensations and memories are still being apparently filtered through.

Again, it's probably Bill's fault. Though I had no idea what the triangular demon hoped to gain through this. I didn't know what kind of endgame they're hoping for aside from Weirdmageddon... And even then, how would that work here? In this world, with shinobi and the Rabbit Goddess herself Kaguya.

Actually those things would probably make it that much worse wouldn't they?

I frowned before wincing and automatically rubbed my forehead to try and dull the pain. It didn't help. But still. My stomach curled and honestly, I'm so relieved that I have time.

Because right now, I really needed the time to understand. To wreck their plans.

And now...

Now I think that I was going to have some fun.

Because the best way to ruin a plan... is to act in ways that they don't expect.

And that...

That is one thing that I am very good at.
