The work of fate

Ch 4 - feudal lords grandchild

Obito POV-

After our Day off we were emidialy given a New mission, this time a B-rank
We were soppused to guard a feudal Lord's grandchild to the hidden grass village
- i don't remember her, but i sure hope she isn't some spoiled unbearable child!

"Hi!" I was quickly snapped out of my thoughts
It was a little Girl, that seemed to be around 11 years
She had Dark green wavy hair that went to the middle of her back
And i must say, she had beautyful eyes, sunset orange with a little bit of pink
"Hi?" She Said again, probably confused as to Why i didn't respond
"Ehm..hi?" I Said, still not knowing who she was

She opened her mouth to say something, but didn't get the chance cause Rin came and stood beside me saying her goodmorning - and in a couple of moments Kakashi and Minato was there as Well
"Oh! You're already Here?! I'm so Sorry for keeping you waiting!" He apologized and to our surprise bowed to the little Girl
"Don't worry about it! He kept me Company!" She Said and pointed to me
I looked over towards Minato and Saw that he was giving me a look of gratitude and mouthed a 'Thank you Obito'

Huh?...Why Thank you?! I mean.. it's just a little kid, sure she couldn't be that Importa-...Wait...oh!!

"Oh Well kids! This is Yukimi Mashima, our client" Minato Said and gestured to the little Girl

Of course she is...i should've figured...
I don't recall this mission, could i already have changed the future - cause i think i would remember something like this

"Oh Well we should be leaving now.." Minato Said and straightened himself, ready to start the journey to the hidden grass village

"No Wait! Not everyone is Here!" The little Yukimi shouted but quickly covered her mouth with her hands embarresed by her outburst
"Eh? Who?" Minato questioned, looking utterly confused

"My friend! Or Well...He is kind of my personal guard..." Yukimi Said and started fiddleing her fingers, clearly nervous or still embarresed

"Oh i see! Then it's probably best If we Wait Huh?" Minato Said with a warm and understanding smile.
Only a couple of seconds later a boy, looking to be a little older than us, maybe 15, ran up to us panting
"Tashono!" Yukimi beamed at the boy - he had pale straight Brown hair, and Dark green eyes Matching Yukimi's hair
"S-Sorry Yu-Yuki-mi..i..lost track o-of time!..." the guy now known as Tashono apologized still panting heavily

It seemed that everyone bought that excuse
I must say this guy is a skilled liar- but i'm better
And i could see trough it-

He was having a fight, with who i don't know-
- i Could easily Guess this, he had the look of pain in his eyes, and he made sure to keep his hands in his pockets.. which must mean..he's hurt

It wouldn't be smart of him to keep it like that
In went over to Rin and whispered what i had figured out. At first she looked at me confused, then she looked over at Tashono and her expression changed to one of shock and irratation once she Saw the same as me

Rin being Rin- she stumped over to him, and before he could say or do anything she quickly pulled his left hand out of his pocket, revealing the burn marks

"That's not alright! If you're her guard then you're A poor one!! If she would need your Help how would you with those hands!?" Rin Said at him sounding more angry than anything

-god i missed this- i missed her, and how she did what she needed to do to keep others save-

It was clear that Tashono was embarresed
He looked at the Ground and didn't say a word as Rin healed his left hand and then his right
"Are you hurt anywhere else?" Rin asked having calmed Down.
He nooded and without a word pulled off his jacket reavealing more burn marks on his right shoulder and upper arm. Rin sighed and then started healing that as Well

OoOoOoOoOoOoOo

We had started our journey to the grass village in silence, and it stayed that Way for a good hour before Rin asked me "Obito..how did you notice that he was lying?"

"What? Oh C'mon Rin you know me! I'm the Master of lies! So clearly i know a Lie when i see one"

"So you just admitted that all those stories are lies.." Kakashi Said

"WhAt!? N-No i-i..." i sighed "those aren't lies...i really am helping old Ladies.."

"Yeah i know that...but those other excuses like 'a Black cat crossed my way' and 'i Got lost on the path of life'..those are lies"

'Oh Kakashi If only you knew! Those are gonna be your favorite excuses in the future!'

"Y-Yeah..."
