Gomenasai -P1-

THIS IS JUST PART ONE.
I was called by the Gaiden Police. XD
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything Naruto related, for they all belong Masashi Kishimoto! :3
BTW. IMPORTANT. This is "what if" fic.

News was given yesterday that Obito Uchiha had possibly died. Team 7 hadn't returned to Konoha yet, so the suspense was killing me. One breath in, one breath out, I thought. Come on, Obito-Kun. I'll meet you at this swing set the second you get back.

Lately, Obito and I would meet back at the swings every time he went on a mission. I kept myself thinking about everything we'd done together. Like when we played at the Academy together, or all those pranks we played. These memories left me with a headache just as tears brimmed my eyes.

"Urusai, Anko," I whispered, trying to make myself shut up. "Just don't cry."

Suddenly, everything that reminded me of Obito swarmed into my head. And I mean every inch of Obito Uchiha memories. It was like my brain just found all memory files of him and dumped them into my system. I held my cranium, allowing my hands to unclench the chains that held up my swing's seat.

My cheeks were suddenly wet, and I had trouble trying not to let anything out of my mouth. A huge knot prohibited normal sounds to erupt from my trachea. I kept trying to delete all the memories, make it all disappear, but it was just too much. The more I tried, the greater I failed.

"This is hopeless," I sobbed silently. "Gomenasai, gomenasai, gomenasai."

Tear tracks remained on my cheeks even after I wiped them away. I made my hands return to the chains of the swing. Just a moment later, I felt hands upon mine. My eyes became wide and my breath caught in my throat.

"Daijoubo," whispered a familiar voice.

I couldn't bring myself to look. I knew who it was, so I needed no confirmation of it. I just kept my head up and looked at the trees.

"Konichiwa, Obito-Kun," I greeted him monotonously. "How was the mission?"

Suddenly, I was slowly going back and forth in the air. I didn't have to turn around and see his face to know that the smile had turned into a frown. Shouldn't I have been happy? I was, but I was also angry and upset.

"Crazy," he replied somewhat-quietly. "The enemy kidnapped Rin, so Kakashi and I went to save her. Kakashi almost got hit by a falling boulder once we got her out of a cave, but I pulled him out of the way, and he did the same for me. So, we're on good terms now."

"That's nice," I replied.

"Anko-Chan," Obito inquired, "why are you so upset?"

I dropped my head as the tears began to flow once again. Obito stopped pushing me as he began to silently watch my tears drop from my face. Every time a tear fell from my eye, I tried to push words from my gullet.

"Why am I upset?" I repeated. "I heard that you could've died! I was worried sick. I had to keep myself from crying, but here I am; sobbing right in front of you! I can't believe you, Obito-Kun!"

I stood up and turned to him, finally letting him see me cry. I kept ranting at him about how terrible it was without him. I kept crying and shouting and frowning. After I was done, with most of the terrible things I'd said, I stood still and tried to calm down. He looked so hurt.

"And you know what else?" I queried—he shook his head—and then I rushed into him, hugging him as tightly as I could. "Gomenasai, Obito-Kun! Gomenasai, gomenasai, gomenasai, gomenasai, gomenasai…"

I just kept repeating it as water spilled from my eyes. I had ranted and shouted and hollered at him, and then I tried to find comfort in my Obito-Kun. He petted my hair after a few minutes more of my constant apologies. He started trying to shush me, but that didn't work until quite a while later.

"Daijoubo, Anko-Chan," he finally replied after I had shut up. He began to hug me, still stroking my violet hair. "I forgive you."

I looked up at him with wide, shocked eyes as I replied "You do?"

"Hai," he smiled. "I know how you feel. I felt the same exact way you did when the entire Orochimaru incident happened. You could have been killed, but you weren't. I was too happy to be angry with you. It wasn't even your fault, but I was upset."

"It wasn't really your fault, was it?" I asked.

"My whole team kind of played a part in it, but I guess it wasn't completely my fault," he shrugged.

"Well, I did believe Orochimaru and didn't tell anyone about it until it was too late," I sighed angrily. "So, I guess we have that in common."

"There you go," he smiled softly at me. "And if it helps…gomenasai."

With that, I lost complete control. I was so happy! I ran into Obito's arms again and giggled. Before I knew it, I was tugging on his collar, drawing him closer and closer to me. His lips touched mine and I smiled into them. After a second or two, Obito's shock was gone and he kissed back.

We stopped after about ten seconds and just hugged. I loved my Obito-Kun and was glad he was safe. I'll never forget that I'll always be sorry for yelling at him.

Gomenasai…
