Intertwined Ripples

Clashing Stars

Today was the day and it was almost a sense of deja-vu for Obito. This was his second chance to do this first day of academy right as he put on his orange googles in the mirror. He grabbed his mesh shirt thought of how fast Summer went by and how it was Fall all over again. He had a more fun this Summer than he would have usually had, but he wished he could have seen Hinata at least one.

The last time he seen her was that Spring day at the park. Every time he would go to the Hyūga Estate, he would get turned away by one of her relatives saying she didn't have time to play. No wonder Hinata wanted to escape like she did when he first met her, because they must keep her under lock and key like a caged bird.

Made Obito sad that he couldn't see his one and only friend, but besides that it was an interesting living adjustment being in a different timeline. Seeing all members of his clan older with children of their own was sort of funny to see. He often wondered where he be at if was an adult at this time.

"I'd probably be super awesome ninja like Shisui!" He exclaimed as he threw punches in the mirror pretend to fight enemies that was in his bedroom. Obito remembering watching Itachi and Shisui spar in awestruck with Sasuke over the summer.

"Or you probably be my target practice like always dummy," Hearing his cousin's voice caused Obito to jump nearly out of his skin.

"Sasuke! Don't you knock and how did you get my house?"

"You left your front door unlock dummy. Plus, Itachi is ten-times better than Shisui!" Sasuke said in complete confidence. He had no idea how Obito lived by himself in the past because every time Shisui left for missions Obito would always leave the front and back door unlock. He was lucky their clan weren't a bunch of thieves because he would have been robbed blind by now.

"Stop calling me that and no he is not!" Obito scowled because he hated that nickname that his cousin gave him. There were times he just couldn't stand Sasuke and these was one of these times. When he actually got to know him, he thought it would be cool to have someone his age in the Uchiha clan since he never experienced that before.

How wrong Obito was because he never got into so many disagreements as he did with Sasuke. Sure, he would act like an angel when his parents or older brother was around, but outside of that he was a smart-alecky little brat. Made Obito glad he was an only child in Shisui's household.

"Whatever I don't time for this. You can be late all you want Obito, but I'm not missing the first day of academy," Sasuke tutted bored from messing with him as he turned around and left.

"Huh w-what? Wait up!" Obito shouted as he grabbed his jacket from his bed post while rushing out door after him.

Hinata cupped her hands together as she walked to school with her terrifying cousin Neji. She felt beads of sweat forming on her forehead remembering the times use to be good between them. Then again remembering that reason why their relationship was so soured was because of her. If she could change things it would be most definite be how her clan did things and how they treated other members that deem below them.

"What is it?" Neji snapped at her because she was blatantly staring at him for no apparent reason.

"I-I-It's not-thing s-sorry-y," she stuttered badly knowing she upset him.

"Quit stuttering it is very infantile...the teachers at the academy going think that there some wrong with you and hold you back, unless that is what you want?" As she furiously shook her head not wanting anyone to think that.

"Then for once act like the main the branch that your supposed to be or sooner than later failure will be your fate!" Neji said coldly wishing that his father was still alive instead of this pathetic girl.
