[Discontinued] Heaven's Accusations (Sequel to Heaven's Regulations)

Chapter 7 ~ Burden of Truth (pt. 2)

Ahhhhh. I am so sorry. 

Now that school's out of the way, though... 

We're going to go back to (almost) regular updates! :)

Enjoy~ 

******************** 

For the next few days, Kakashi mulled over the battle. 

He and Minato-sensei hadn't even gotten involved in it; yet, it only took one strike from Rin for the woman to... 

He shuddered. 

What had gone over his female teammate? What could have happened to her during the year and a half she had been gone to lead to this? He would trade anything to know if Rin was truly still the Rin he had known. 

That Rin was bright and cheerful. 

She was genuine, got angry when she was concerned, and brightened his day. 

That Rin was always smiling. 

That was the Rin he had fallen in love with.

"If only," he told himself, rolling his eyes skeptically. "Not gonna happen, Hatake." 

He pushed the lump in his throat down. 

"She's not the same anymore." 

~~~~~~~~~~ 

Rin looked annoyed, the symbol for anyone around her to back off. 

"I can't be wearing a yukata!" she moaned. "Obitoooooooooo!" 

"Th-That's why we're going to get you new clothes, right?" he asked. 

"I wonder if I'll survive the way there." 

"Y-You look great, b-by the way." 

She turned to him, and her eyes softened. 

"Thanks, Obito. Maybe I can ask Hidan to make you an outfit too." 

"G-G-Good lord, he'll make it so the butt line will rip right when I need to fight!" the Uchiha exclaimed. "I-I think I'll pass!" 

Rin laughed, and his heart lightened. Onyx orbs watched her, their owner smiling softly. 

"Yeah, you're probably right." 

She turned, offering him a grin. He felt his cheeks heat up even more. 

"S-S-Something wrong, Rin?" 

"Nope! Can we go faster?" Her eyes shone with excitement, all annoyance from a moment ago gone. 

Obito smiled, albeit a little sadly. 

Rin wasn't only his friend anymore. 

"Yeah. Let's go faster." 

~~~~~~~~~~ 

"Whoa! That's cool!" Rin exclaimed. Obito had produced a raft with a Wood jutsu, giving the two a way to Amegakure. "Can we make this thing move faster too?" 

"Yeahsurewecan!" He cast a quick Wind jutsu and the raft zipped through the water. 

Rin stared. She was the only one on the raft. 

"Obito! That wasn't smart!" she yelled. 

Having cast the jutsu behind the little floating device, the Uchiha was still on land. 

"Oh boy." The medic watched him wave his arms in frantic realization. 

She attached chakra string to him and tugged him along.
