Chapter 10 part 2


Obito was absolutely stunned. Was it all his fault? No, it can't be, it was only a theory. Anyways, he was an Akatsuki member. The organization kills people of all sorts, including young children. 

So why was he feeling guilty? Why was he feeling a high level of culpability? This horrible feeling in his stomach that wouldn't go away?

He looked at Zestu. "How do I fix all this?" He asked, almost in a whisper.

He only shrugged. "This is your problem, not ours. What he meant to say, was that we never came across such an interesting situation. You're caring for an innocent little girl, for Pete's sake! That's nothing like you."

Obito groaned, "I know, I know!" He didn't have a way to explain it. Kyo just felt special to him. As if she was the most important thing he could possess. 

He slid out of his seat. Not sure what he was going to do, he stared blankly at Zetsu. "Well? Aren't you going to do something about it? If she's important to you, I would try to fix it as best you can. We don't have any ideas, but maybe you can come up with something to make everything better."

Obito quickly nodded, impressed with the fact that Zetsu always knew what to say. Though he still wasn't sure what he would do, he headed out the door anyways.

Thoughts raced through his head as he walked down the stairs, his hand gripping the railing.

If this is true, that I am only a painful reminder to Kyo of what horrible thing I had done to her, then what can I do to mend what I had broken?

He peeked out from behind the wall of the kitchen, to get a perfect view of Kyo sitting on the couch. He blushed when he saw her sleeping peacefully, her short breaths barely audible to him. She was just too dang cute, why did she have to be mad at him?

He realized that to make things better between Kyo and himself, he would have to stop feeling so guilty about it. Sure, it was good because what he had done was wrong, but if he wallows in guilt for too long then he wouldn't be able to bring himself to make it right.

He just wanted to stare at her face for eternity. How can this young innocent soul make him feel so low?

"'Cause this creep just loves little girls!"

He shook his head at the reminder of Deidara's immature comment. People didn't think that about him, did they?

He validated it in his head. Yeah, it's definitely normal to admire youth at it's fullest. That was the best way that he could put it that explained how he felt for Kyo. 

Or maybe, he felt that she was someone important in his life that needed to be protected. Like.. a little sister.

He shook his head again. Stop being so emotional, just get this over with. He nervously took a few steps towards her, and stopped at the end of the couch.

"A-ah, Kyo, wake up." No response. He cleared his throat, and repeated it a little louder. "Wake up, Kyo."

"Kyo?" He was surprised that she hadn't woken up. Normally the Akatsuki would wake up immediately when he called their names.

He moved closer to her, and shook her arm. "Hey, it's time to wake up.."

Her eyes opened slightly, and squinted. Not moving, she quickly looked around her tiredly. "Mm, wha' is it?" She asked in a weary voice. She squinted harder at him, and he finally came to view.

She stared at him normally for a few seconds, before realization came pouring into her. She jerked, and frantically looked around, looking for a way to get away from him.

"Wait, wait, wait, don't look away from me!" He called out softly, panicking on the inside. What was he supposed to do? She was scared of him.

"Just listen to me, I have something I want-"

"G-go away!" She yelled out, deciding to squeeze her eyes shut. Slightly hurt, he just stayed silent.

Trying to pick his words carefully, he tried again, "I just-"

"No! Go away!" 

"Please, Kyo-"

"Stop!"

"You don't understand, I-"

"Mou hontou ni yamete kudasai!" ("Really, would you stop that!")

Fully surprised by her reaction, he stayed quiet. "I.." He waited to see if she would react, then continued carefully, "I'm sorry."

Silence.

He saw a blank piece of paper and pencil, and picked them up. He held both items out to her, to which she took reluctantly.

"I want you to draw everything that happened on this piece of paper."

"...."

She looked at him, more of a glare than not.

"Oh.. I'll go away and come back later so you can draw in peace, if you want."

She didn't want him to go away, but she still nodded. He sighed in defeat, and walked away.

-

He came back after about fifteen minutes. She looked at him, and quickly turned away. She threw the piece of paper at him. It flapped back and forth, until it eventually landed hard onto the ground, not gracefully in any way.

He picked it up, and looked at it. His eyes were wide in complete horror.

Of course, there was Kyo's name up in the top left corner. There was a sketch of a little girl with bangs and long hair, with huge eyes that had no pupils in them. Three little circles dropped below those eyes, which he had assumed to be tears. A heavy scowl was etched onto the girl's face, and a picture of something seemed to face away from her.

He squinted. It was the shape of their cloak, and black scribbles were drawn just above it, probably hair. Looking harder, he found his own name drawn above this figure. 

"OBITO" 

He couldn't believe it. Was this a picture describing how he left her? He looked on to the next few images. 

Huge furry, and not to mention scary looking.. wolves. Four wolves were drawn. All but one had no pupils in them, and their large jaws carrying razor sharp teeth were drawn clearly. One of the wolf's eyes had slits for pupils. He looked on to the last two images.

There were two women in white dresses, an almost beautiful contrast to all the dark scribbles everywhere else in the drawing. He looked at the bottom one, to see a girl drawn much like she had drawn herself. But this time, she had a smile, and rosy cheeks.

Below the picture was a few letters. "MAMA"

He looked at the last girl. He just stared and stared. A girl with long wavy hair with a flower crown, and doe- like eyes, with a shy smile and another set of rosy cheeks.

Above the picture..

"TAKI"
