The work of fate

Ch 13 - apologize

Obito POV-

Today we were having a lowly D-rank mission. It was just the usual, finding a lost pet or something. I wasn't completely sure since i wasn't really paying attention today.
Why you ask?
It was because of Rin. The expression on her face, and how her bubbly Personality had dropped over these last few days.

There was No mystery in it, it was my fault. Just goes to show how Big of an idiot i truly am Huh? I had made up my mind, i was gonna talk to her..i wasn't gonna tell her the truth, not yet, but i would apologize.

"Obito get moving!" I heard Minato's voice trough the walkie talkie, since i hadn't been paying attention i looked around in confusion...what was i supposed to do?
"Obito!!" He yelled again so that i Got the impression that i had failed whatever task he had just given me.
"S-Sorry..." i Said, but didn't make an attemt to really understand the situation i was in.

I went back to just staring off into space, trying to make a plan on how to execute the talk i would have to have with Rin.

I was however interupted again. I heard a low ruffleing in the Bush to my left, too small for a human, too tiny to be a squirrel. As i Said we were probably out catching sone run away pet so i didn't take up any of my weapons, i just liftet my arms up, ready to catch whatever animal that was gonna jump out of that bush.

And just right, just a few seconds later a dog sprung out, it was a fully grown Shar pei dog Brown in color. I quickly held the dog so it stood still, it was clearly owned by someone course it had a collar on.
When i Got the impresion that it wasn't a bad behaving dog i loosened my grip on it believing that it wouldn't try to run away from me.
"Sensei..what is it We're looking for again?" I asked, believing that this was the Pet we were looking for.
Before answering i could hear him sigh, probably getting tired of me not paying attention making him repeat everything at least a hundred times for each mission

"A Brown Shar pei, has a blue collar on and goes by the name Masa.."

"Oh and If you shouldn't know, Shar pei is a dog breed" Kakashi added

After that i looked at the collar again. Yep it was blue. On on the collar was the name Masa

"Well i which case i found our target!" I told all the others.

"Okay good! We'll regroup at your location" Minato Said, and not long went by and we were slowly bringing the dog back to their owners

"Ah Thank you for finding this guy! He does this too much for our liking, and for the other Genin tasked with this as Well" a citizen woman Said while Holding Masa in the collar so that he would try to sprint away again.

"How come this keeps happening?" Kakashi, the ninken summoner in the group asked, clearly interested as to Why, and how the dog managed to get out of the Well fenced garden
"To be honest We're not quite sure, you see Masa is retired Ninja hound. His Master died, and then the Family sold him to us..Guess he still Got a few tricks up his sleeve. Who knows maybe he's out looking for action again" the woman Said while stroking the dogs wrinkled head

We had been dismissed After that, and very simple and quietly i had asked Rin If we could talk, and she answered by simply nodding.
So now we were just at the entrance of the Konoha forest.

"So what is it you wanna talk about?" She asked, still not smiling

"I wanted to apologize... i still don't have a good answer to Why i've been acting this way...but- but please...belive in me..." i Said, trying to Stay composed trough it all, but halfway trough my voice began to crack. I could see Rin's eyes turn just a bit more soft as my voice began to crack, but they still weren't back to their usual self.
