The work of fate

Ch 8 - best friends

Kakashi POV-

I know i'm not the only one realizing it! I look around while We're walking back to Konoha

Sensei is stressed and he is constantly eyeing Obito.

Obito is quiet and seems to be very uncomfortable.

Rin looks rather sad, i'm guesing it's because of Obito's sudden change.

And to be honest i didn't like it either. Sure i loved the fact that Obito left me alone now and wasn't loud anymore..but something Odd was going on.

Actually i hadn't thought much of it till just a couple of days ago, when we were attacked.
Sure obito is an idiot and not THAT good at ninjutsu but of course i knew that he could defeat an enemy of that calibre. But the things that, that criminal told us...and the injuries

Also...when the criminal told us about Obito being S-class i Saw that obito was actually getting very nervous.
might even describe it as scared

I have my theories as to Why this was happening...but i didn't have enough proof...yet

Obito POV-

My World is legit crashing Down around me. Or rather i'm falling apart... i'm 31 years old but i have to act like i'm 13...THAT'S REALLY TOUGH!!

This is the Personality im used to have and it's kinda just Staying with me even though im trying to change it..and that's really bad.

I'm getting far too carefree.

And i have noticed everyone on the team have begun to catch onto me. Especialy sensei.

I wish there was someone i could talk freely to. Someone who could Help. Because No matter the age, and No matter how mature you are, being responsible for keeping the future intact is tiring and tough, beyond belief

Which is Why i'm starting to Think If i should tell Minato-sensei the truth. Of course keeping out a few details like:
i'm the one responsible for him and his wife's death

If i explained it carefuly and in details then maybe he would Help. Especialy If i told him that if he helped we could end up a bunch of people, which practicly includes the intere team

OoOoOoOoOoOo

We had stopped for the Night in a little clearing, and of course different asignments were given to each of us like:
start the fire, get firewood, get water
-and so on.

Wanting some time away from the team to think, i voluntered to go get the firewood which were normally what took the most time.
Rin would get water.
Kakashi would start the fire.
And lastly Minato would prepere the food....

Explain Why Minato Got the easiest job...our food was pretty much just red beans...

Despite being in a forest finding firewood was pretty hard. The Ground in this forest was pretty clean. Not too many branches. And the branches that was on the Ground wasn't dry enough.
So in my search for dry branches i was led to a water source, where Rin was collecting some fresh and clean water.

I had noticed the looks Rin was giving me doing our travel.
Sad looks with a mix of confusion, and i could easily Guess Why.

yes i know i've been acting rude, but i told Minato i had given up on her (which wasn't true) so i had to act like i actually had...and yes that dosn't mean i have to go out of my Way just to avoid her, but it's pretty hard for me to keep the facade up Around Rin..not just that but i felt an enormous amount of guilt.
The things i did..i know Rin would never except them...and yet i Said that i was doing it for her..so that i could see her again. And then i failed and yet i'm Here..standing behind her, she looked just as remembered her.. acting just like she used to...
...even more guilt

"Hey" i Said awkwardly not knowing how i should start the conversation

"Have i done something wrong?" She asked me while still collecting water and so, still having her back to me

"i'm Sorry..i know i've been acting like a jerk. But it's not your fault...it's just...-"

"Just what?" She asked me with a Stern tone and then turned around so she could face me

"...i-..i don't know" what was i supposed to say? I didn't have anygood Lies up my sleve at the moment.

"We've been best friends for years and you've never been like this before..it's not just how you act around me, but you've just changed so much" she Said and then stood up, done collecting the water. Then she continued "once you've figured out a good and honest answer...please tell me" and then she started walking in the direction of the Camp

OoOoOoOoOo

Well that went Well...
as i Said! -I'm No good around Rin..but what exacly should i tell her?

I can't really say "i'm Sorry but i'm an S-class criminal who killed thousands of people and started the fourth great Ninja war..all for you..please don't hate me"

Yeah cause that's practicly the recipe to 'getting your Friend to hate you' in 26 words.
