The Commanding Eyes

Six

I groaned in pain as I heard yelling coming from somewhere close to me and sat up out of bed. I looked over towards the yelling to see Hidan and Obito going head to head in a heated argument. I assumed it was about what Obito and I had done the previous night as I caught pieces of the argument as I looked up towards them. They hadn't noticed I was awake as they were in each other's faces screaming at one another. I yawned quietly and held my hand out towards Obito with a sleepy frown.

"Stop yelling and walk backwards from Hidan." Obito found himself being silenced as he was forced to walk back away from Hidan and stand by the wall. They both looked over at me as they realized that they had woken me up with an embarrassed smile.

"Now, unless you want me to kick your undead ass Hidan I suggest you shut the fuck up." Hidan nodded with a half-smile at me because he knew I had a temper and could carry out my threats when exhausted. I released Obito from my control and looked towards them with an annoyed glared.

"Makoto will you please tell him that I didn't take advantage of you? He saw us in bed together and wouldn't let me explain myself before trying to attack me!" Obito was using his Tobi voice since the other members had yet to hear his true voice that he hid.

"It is true, Hidan. I initiated everything that happened last night so I promise that he did not take advantage of me." Hidan looked at me strangely before sighing. It's been so long since Hidan was around me I guess he had forgotten that I was gay.

"You forgot I was gay didn't you, brother?" I asked with a small chuckle. Hidan nodded as he rubbed the back of his head having calmed down from his argument.

"Yeah, sorry about that Makoto." He said apologetically. I shook my head and smiled over at Obito with an apologetic smile for having taken over his free will. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder as he plopped down next to me which made me blush a deep red. Hidan looked at me with a questioning glance and I knew it was because I was suppose to kill Obito later on. I couldn't help where my heart attached but I knew I had a goal I was suppose to accomplish and being in love with Obito would make that harder. I looked at Hidan with a stern expression signalling we would speak about it later and he left the room after giving me a small nod. Obito seemed to be deep in thought as he turned to look over at me.

"You were going to destroy the Akatsuki weren't you? You were going to betray all of us." The hurt in Obito's voice was obvious as he removed his mask and looked at me. The pain in his eyes caught me off guard as I had never known him to show any sort of weakness before. I couldn't hide my plan from him anymore since I had been caught and I didn't want him to get the wrong idea.

"Yes, I had plans to betray the Akatsuki, I originally took control of the Akatsuki because I wanted to attack my home village Yugakure and wipe it from existence. I had planned to kill only you, Nagato, and Konan because I figured you would stand in my way but those plans have since changed." I finished solemnly. I looked away from Obito as I finished talking so I wouldn't have to see his reaction to my words. I felt Obito gently grab my chin and turn my head so I was looking up at him as he looked down at me with a serious expression.

"You aren't targeting me anymore?" He asked sternly as I kept trying to look away.

"I realize now that I love you and I could never hurt you, let alone kill you." Obito's face softened as he looked down at me and pulled me into his lap with a kiss to my lips. I returned the kiss with a soft smile before laying my head against his chest.

"I planned on using the Akatsuki to aide Madara Uchiha in a fourth war on the shinobi of these lands. If you and Hidan will agree to fight by my side, as my equals, then I will help you destroy Yugakure. I need to return the pain that they inflicted on you back to them so they will suffer as much as you have." I looked down at the floor as the hostility in his voice caught me off guard. I knew I had hurt him when he saw the wounds because I saw that when I looked into his eyes but I didn't realize how much it had really hurt him. I looked up at him as he quieted down and saw him looking down at me, I sat up and softly kissed him once more as a sign of agreement with him.

"I will follow you until the end even if that means giving my life for you." Obito looked down at me sadly as he stroked my cheek gently with his thumb.

"Thank you, Makoto." He said softly.

"Promise me something Obito?" I asked softly.

He looked down at me as he nodded, "anything within reasonable limits Makoto."

"Don't die on me, I can't stand the idea of losing you to another without going insane." Obito wrapped his arms tighter around me as he kissed the top of my head.

"I can't promise you that I'll never die since we will all die someday, but I promise to always try to live for you." I snuggled back into Obito as that was all I needed to hear to make sure that Obito really cared.

"Thank you..." I yawned in his arms as he held me and rubbed my head. I will love and protect Obito with my life regardless of what happens to me in the process.
