See Me Fall

Chapter Two

Ok so I've literally written 3 chapters of stuff today why not do another one YEAHH, Ps, some thick angst in this one

Kakashi was laying down on his bed, thinking about the masked man with the cat. He didn't want to immediately assume it was Obito, but the evidence was there. 

His chakra signature was completely identical to Obito's right before he turned into dust. Kakashi of all people knew that it was impossible to perfectly replicate somebody's chakra signature. They all varied so much. 

Obito's was like burning pine trees and wood. They were Kakashi's favorite smells. 

The masked man also wore the same mask as when Obito was masquerading as Tobi. Kakashi knew it had broken somehow, since Obito had replaced it for the war. The masked man wore the entirely same outfit as his Obito had, just the sleeves were mended on his yukata. He had the same white hair Obito got from being the Juubi's jinchuuriki.

And the biggest piece of evidence of all, he had used Kamui. The same swirling pattern Kakashi saw in his guilt filled nightmares. 

So why did he run away?

His Obito knew that Kakashi wouldn't attack him. And since Kakashi was the Hokage, he could free him of all charges! 

Kakashi was also confused as to why Obito had a cat. He knew that the younger Obito had four cats; Marmalade, Snowflake, Charcoal, and Socks. Kakashi tried to remember everything about Obito. He would hold onto every precious memory until the day that he died. 

Kakashi was so confused.

Nothing made sense.

He felt the urge to try to clean his hands. They felt itchy. He thought he got over Rin's death after the fourth war, but his hand still looked bloody. Putting gloves over it helped during the day, but not much. 

Kakashi put his hand under the faucet, aggressively scrubbing at it. The. Blood. Wouldn't. Go. Away.

It never did. 

Kakashi turned off the faucet and tried to calm down. He leaned on the wall to support himself. He was the Rokudaime. He could fix this. He could send out some squads to try and find Obito. 

But what if it was a figment of his imagination? He was no stranger to hallucinations. He pointedly didn't look at the bloody Rin in the corner of his house. 

He was sure his brain couldn't come up with the warm feeling of Obito's chakra. It never had managed it before. It would be a whole new torture if he could feel their chakra. 

It all felt so real though, and Kakashi would rather be safe than sorry. If Kakashi knew that he could've gotten Obito back, but didn't try because he thought it was an illusion, he wouldn't forgive himself. 

Kakashi nodded to himself, in the morning, he would send a few Anbu squads to look for Obito. Hell, he would even go himself, Naruto needed the training to be the Nanadaime. 

Kakashi, finally coming to a decision, tried to sleep in his nightmare infested dreams.

Obito finally found a town thanks to Marmalade. The cat seemed apologetic about taking him towards Konoha, not knowing about his past. 

Tobi rented a room in an inn, promising to do some work for the innkeeper in return for letting him stay the night free of charge.

He was apparently mugged as well as being dressed in new clothes and an older body apparently. Madara really couldn't begin to comprehend it. There was so many things to ask questions about.
