Murasaki's POV:

Both Obito and I were crouching in a tree outside the cave Rin was being held. I looked towards the cave and knew that the ninja would soon come for us. However, I knew Kakashi was coming too. Obito looked nervous as heck, so I tried to give him words of reassurance.

" Hey, Obito, we got this, so don't be nervous, okay? I know how much you care about her, so we'll get her out soon." I told him calmly.

Obito nodded and started slapping his cheeks.

"  Dang it Obito, now they now know we're here. Oh well it can't really be helped." I thought.

I sensed the guy with the camouflage jutsu sneaking up on us; however, I watched the scenes play out for me.

" Alright Murasaki, let's go!" Obito said. He was clutching his kunai so tight, that his knuckles were starting to turn white. 

" Where we going?" a voice from behind us asked.

It was the stone ninja.

He started coming at us with a kunai, but at that moment, Kakashi showed up, slashing the ninja's chest. The ninja's face displayed a moment of shock before jumping to a tree branch behind him.

" So, you decided to show up." I said bluntly.

" Well, I certainly can't leave this to a weakling like you and a crybaby ninja like Obito, now can I?" 

" Hmph. I could totally beat you in a spar...." I muttered. 

" Kakashi...." was all Obito managed to say.

The stone ninja soon recovered, and looked up at his attacker. When he saw Kakashi, he looked shocked.

" I know that silver hair and that white light blade...could it be...the White Fang of the Leaf?"

Kakashi clutched his sword and brought it up. " This is a memento from my father."

" Oh, I see. You're just the White Fang's brat. Then there's nothing to be nervous about." the ninja said confidently before disappearing. 

" Be careful! It seems that all of his traces have disappeared!" I warned them.

Kakashi nodded and sniffed the air. " Thought so. Even his smell is gone. We'll have to locate him by the slightest hint of sound."

Obito began to cautiously look around. " Okay.... where is he?"

Suddenly we hear a footstep coming from behind Obito.

" Obito! Behind you!" Kakashi warned as he jumped in front of him.

The hidden ninja made a deep gash in his eye with a kunai.

" Ngh! My eye!" Kakashi said painfully as he put his hand over it.

" Kakashi!" Obito and I yelled at the same time.

Obito and I both helped him sit up.

" Hey, are you alright?" Obito asked.

" Dang, if only Rin were here......" I muttered.

Kakashi still had a hand over his eye, blood pouring through his hands.

I took off my scarf and started to wipe some of the blood off Kakashi.

" Thanks."

I shrugged. " Don't mention it."

Oddly the bleeding had already stopped, so I pulled back, and tied the scarf around my arm.
