Shinobi love- Kakashi x OC

Flashback part 14

I blinked my eyes several times as they slowly adjusted to the bright light that adorned the lit room.

...

...

Where... am I ?

I heard a rattle of doors and footsteps approach.

And I was greeted by a loud and noisy voice.

"KASUMIII!!  You're awake! I thought you were going to die! Oh Kami! "

The yellowish white light had finally seemed to settle as I scanned the features of the boy in front of me.

Who is this?

Black and ruffled hair

Orange goggles

Shockingly annoying first impression

Wait. Obito?!

My world went spinning and my vision blurred as a surge of memories returned, each causing a migraine worse than the latter.

And then it all stopped.

I remembered.

We were sparring like it was yesterday.

And then I felt so blissful watching my teammates as they came to my side, worrying about how I was when Rin had accidentally exerted too much of a force onto my shoulder.

I instinctively raised my weakened hands and touched my shoulder.

Nani?!

Impossible!

I pressed my shoulder harder, searching for signs for the searing pain that had taken me down the day before.

None.

It was impossible to heal that quickly, I was positive that I had broken a bone somewhere.

And having some knowledge about medicine, and the human anatomy, I was sure one of my arteries had burst from the impact.

Unless...

"TOBI! Am I dead?! "

I yelled a little too loudly, causing Obito to jump in shock.

" You seem a little to energetic for someone who slept for a month! "

As the last word rolled off Obito's tongue, my breathing came to a still.

It was as if the entire sentence had blurred out and the only audible words were 'one month'.

One month?

What?

What does Obito mean?

This better not be a joke.

My inquisitive gaze had now turned into a sharp one, my eyes unwavering from Obito's.

" You better not be lying "

Obito shuddered at the fiery attitude and gulped, sweatdropping.

" O.. of course! Why would I be lying! Eh.. it's normal to be confused after waking up from a month's worth of sleep... especially since a lot has happened within that month, for example, Kakashi's dad had passed on, leaving him in a depressed state for the past 30 days, and the fact that he had became a jonin, or that Rin and I have finally become Chunnins..."

Obito slapped a hand onto his mouth, his eyes widened as he mentally berated himself for letting all that information slip from his mouth.

I shot up into a sitting posture, pulling the needles and wires away from my being, feeling the slight stings around those areas.

I pushed myself out of bed and stood up, running for the door.

But my legs gave out just a step from the bed.

Obito had expected this and swooped in just in time to catch my frail body.

"T..thanks ... I Guess I'm still too weak."

I blushed.

Obito flashed me a smile, helping me up on my feet.

I noticed how much Obito had matured within just a month.

His smile, its innocence, a tad lesser. It now held meaning behind. What had he been through?

His eyes had betrayed his smile.

They were filled with so much sadness and discomfort.

What happened Obito?

What happened to the innocent, demure you?

What happened during the past month...

When I was gone?
