Song- Rocks by Imagine Dragons
"Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? I threw some rocks up at your window. I broke some rocks straight through your window. Timber, Timber. We're falling down. Let the forest hear our sound. Why can't I see what's right in front of me? We fall, we fall apart."
This is going to be a flashback when Himiko was really little, like four or five. She just started going to the academy, roughly a while after she first met Obito. That's all I have to say so far, so enjoy! (This should be pretty cute!)

I stand on top of my stairs, grinning at one of my Sensei. He had his arms crossed, waving his finger in my face.
"You can't just do that, Miko." He says, frowning. "I have research to do."
"But why?" I ask, climbing up his back. "I wanna come too, Raiya."
"You can't come because you're too little." He says, wincing as I climb over his long white hair. "It wouldn't interest you anyway."
"But I want to play with you some more." I whine, sitting on his shoulders. I slump over on his head, resting on my elbows. "Daddy and Suma aren't home yet so I'm bored."
"We just trained for a couple of hours, Miko! How can you be so energetic?" Jiraiya ask, tickling my feet. I giggle, kicking him away.
"But I still want to play some more!" I say, leaning backwards. Jiraiya held onto my legs so I didn't slip of of his back and hit my head. I look at the world upside-down, seeing someone walking towards us. He waves at me, making a goofy facial expression. I giggle and Jiraiya turns around.
"Oh! Sakumo!" He says as I climb back to his shoulders. "Just the person I was looking for!"
"How can I help you, Jiraiya?" He asks, walking to us. "It seems you have a monkey problem."
"Oh? This?" Jiraiya says, picking me up. "It's your monkey problem now. I have research to attend to."
He passes me to Sakumo, putting me on his shoulders. Sakumo blinks, Jiraiya disappearing from sight. I wrap my arms around his neck, breathing in his familiar scent. He laughs, bouncing me in his arms.
"How are you doing, Bubba?" He ask, looking up at me. I beam at him, giggling.
"I want to play, Kumo!" I say, "Raiya only played with me a couple of hours!"
"Jiraiya is a busy shinobi. Maybe I can find you someone to play with?" Sakumo says, starting to walk.
"Who?" I ask, playing with his long white hair.
"Do you want to play with my Kakashi?" Sakumo asks, bouncing a little as he walked. "He likes it when you come over."
"But Kaka never plays with me." I say, shaking my head. "All he does is watch!"
"He's not used to playing like you are, Bubba. Maybe you should teach him?" Sakumo says, "He watches because that's how he learns."
"Teach him?" I ask, thinking. "Kaka wants to play with me?"
"I bet he does, he's just to shy to." Sakumo says, "Have yo-"
"Himi?"
I look around, seeing Obito in front of me. I grin, waving at him.
"Oh! Hello, Bito!" I say, beaming at him. Sakumo stops walking as I climb off his shoulders. I run up to Obito, giving him a big hug. Obito grins at me, laughing.
"What are you doing, Himi?" He asks.
"I was going with Kumo! I wanted to play." I say, smiling at my friends.
"You can play with me, Himi." Obito says, grabbing my hand. I look up at Sukamo for permission. He nods, laughing.
"I'll tell Kakashi you said hello, Bubba." He says, walking away. "Go have fun."
"Bye, Sukamo!" I yell, waving at him. I turn to Obito, dusting of my shorts. "What do you want to do, Bito?"
"Let's go to my house!" He says, pulling me with him. We run down the streets of Konoha, hand in hand. We dodge padestrians and weave through the crowd. Once we make it to the Uchiha's portion of the village, we slow to a walk. I keep my hand in Obito's, looking around curiously. I haven't really been here before and I've never really seen any of these people. I smile at them and look at Obito. He had his head down, not making eye contact with the rest of his clan. My smile falters, tightening my grip in his. He looks up at me, giving me a small smile. He leads me to a smaller house and lets me inside. We slide off our sandals and Obito leads me into the living room.
"Is that you, Obito?" I hear an older female voice call out.
"Yes, Grandmother." Obito says, "I have someone here with me."
"You do?" She asks, walking through the doorway. She looks at me, eyes wide. I smile at her, offering my hand.
"I'm Himiko Sarutobi. Nice to meet you, Obito's Grandmother." I say, politely. She puts her hand in mine, shaking it.
"It's nice to meet you as well, Honorable Daughter." She says, smiling.
"Don't call her that!" Obito says, shaking his head. "She doesn't like it."
"If she doesn't like it, then I will call her Lady Himiko." She says, nodding. "You can call me Grandmother, Lady Himiko."
"Thank you." I say, beaming at her. She turns to Obito, hands on her hips.
"Why didn't you tell me we were having company? I would have started some tea."
"Himi doesn't need any tea." Obito says, "We're just playing in my room."
"Okay, but don't be loud." She says, sitting down on her chair. "I'm going to take a nap."
Obito nods, leading me down a hallway. He slides a door open, letting me inside. I walk in, instantly sitting on his bed. He slide the door closed and turns to me, smiling.
"What do you want to play?" He asks, sitting next to me.
"Hmm...." I lay down, looking up at his ceiling. "...What do you want to be when you grow up, Bito?"
"I'm going to be Hokage!" He replies, instantly. "Then everyone will look up to me and acknowledge me!"
"I look up to you, Bito." I say, smiling at him.
"You're the only one, Himi. Everyone else doesn't care." He says, glaring slightly at something invisible. "I'm just some stupid Uchiha orphan."
"Don't say that!" I yell, tackling him. I pin him on the ground, shaking my head. "You're not just some stupid orphan! You're my best friend, Bito! If you're going to become Hokage, then I will make it my dream to help you achieve yours!"
He smiles at me, grinning.
"It'll be us at the top, Himi. We can be Hokage together!" He says, "The whole village will know our names!"
"I don't want to be Hokage. I just want to be with you." I giggle, rolling off of him.
"Then you can be at my side, Himi!" He says, getting an idea. "You can be my wife!"
"Wife?" I ask, sitting down beside him.
"Yeah! Then you can stay with me forever!" Obito says, shuffling around in his room, searching for something. He opens his drawer, pulling something out.
"What's that?" I ask, tilting my head. Obito walks back to me, grabbing my hand. He slides a small woven ring with a tiny cloth flower on it.
"There." He says, smiling at me. "Now we're married forever."
"Really?" I ask, looking at the small ring on my finger. "That was pretty fast... Let's go share an ice pop, Bito! Suma gave me some money!"
"Yeah!" Obito says, grabbing my hand. "Let's go!"
Time Skip
How many different characters wanted to become Hokage? There were so many, even Kiba wanted to.
Lmao, Himiko's dream=to become Obito's wife? Wha? Forever is a long time, Bito. A long, long time.
I run home, smiling. I see Dad at the door and I jump into his arms.
"Ouf!" He says, stumbling backwards. I giggle, hugging him. "What did you do today, Himiko?"
"First I played with Raiya." I say, listing my activities. "Then Kumo gave me a ride on his back. Then I went to Bito's house and we got married."
"Married?" Dad asks, laughing. "Can I see your ring?"
"Yep." I say, showing him my hand. "He said that if I'm his wife, we can stay with each other forever. I'm going to help Bito become the Hokage, just like you."
"The Uchiha are a strong clan, Himiko. You've chosen wisely." Dad says, nodding as he grins playfully.
"I don't care that Bito is an Uchiha!" I say, "He's more than just a name, Dad."
"Yeah. He's your Husband." Dad says, winking.
"Who's Himi's husband?" Asuma asks, glaring.
"Bito!" I say, grinning.
"That little Uchiha!" Asuma growls, "He can't marry you, Himi!"
"Why not?" I ask, frowning slightly.
"Because I'm your brother and I decide who is worthy!" Asuma says, "He's not!"
"Yes, he is!" I say, glaring at my big brother. "Obito's going to be Hokage!"
"No, He's no-"
"That's enough." Dad interups, "It's just pretend, Asuma. They're not actually married, but don't fight with your sister. When the time comes, she'll marry whoever she wants."
"Yeah! I'm marrying Obito!" I say, sticking my tongue out at him.
"You won't feel that way when you're older." Asuma says, "Just wait until you actually love somebody."
"I'll always want to marry him!" I say, crossing my arms. "I love him, now!"
"You don't love him, Himi! You're just friends!" Asuma says, shaking his head.
"Friends love each other!" I yell, tears building. "I love all my friends!"
"Don't cry, Himi." Asuma says, picking me up in his arms. "I didn't mean to make you cry."
"Why am I n-not allowed to love my friends?" I ask, trying not to cry.
"We're both talking about different types of love." Asuma says, rubbing my back comfortingly. "It'll all make sense when you are older."
"But I want to know now." I say, frowning. Dad laughs, ruffling my hair.
"How bout we go inside and get some dinner." He says, "We can have some Ramen, if you want."
"Ramen?" I ask, forgetting about what we were talking about. "Yay! Hurry, Suma! Let's get inside!" Asuma grins, running with me in his arms.
