Reunion (Not quite) [Closed to Kakashi and Obito]

[sheisthesunshine]

Who: Rin Nohara, Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake
Where: Konoha
When: October 10th
Notes: Rin decides that the 10th is the perfect time to catch up with her teammates. She won't have any disagreements about this.

She'd given the time-frame as about an hour and a half from when she sent out the letter to Obito, since she didn't really expect him to be able to lasso Kakashi into her plans any more quickly, and wanted to give herself adequate time to be prepared to go out, but she still arrived with about ten minutes to spare.

Maybe she should have shown up ten minutes late, considering the teammates she was waiting on...but then, showing up a little early allowed them to dispel that reputation! Or...you know, make up for the times they actually were late. Separately, not together.

Also, she was looking forward to spending an evening out with them. It felt like it had been a long time since she'd been able to drag them both somewhere. So, she couldn't be blamed for being excited enough to go out and wait at the gate even before the meeting time.

...And anyway, she had a scroll to read while she waited. So there was that, too.

Comments

[scarecrowboy]

He'd failed to see any kind of note requesting his presence, and if Obito was intending to collar him at home he would unfortunately be greeted with an empty house since Kakashi was very much not there.

He'd gone out early to take care of a few things, visit a few places around the village, and now he was on his way home. He happened to pass the main gate on his way around the perimeter, so to him it was a mere happen-stance that he'd see his team mate there. Regardless, he raised a hand in a wave as he approached.

"Hey, Rin," He greeted, a warm look showing in his visible eye. "What brings you out here?"

[sheisthesunshine]

...Had he stuck his scroll somewhere not on him? Because she'd like to point out to him that defeats the purpose of having it, if he was going to not always carry it to be bothered with it.

Even if it worked out to her advantage (somewhat, at least) that he did this time. Though...leave it to him not trying to arrive to manage to arrive on time again for once.

She was briefly surprised when she looked up from her scroll at his greeting...but the question that immediately followed it dispelled the notion that he might have arrived early instead of late.

Her smile was only a little too innocent. "Kakashi~! I was looking for you."

[thebestuchiha]

Obito was actually running mostly on time for once... but on hearing Rin intone with that voice... quickly ducked to the side to see what caused it before he could be spotted. He'd come out in a minute, if it was safe.

[scarecrowboy]

"Oh you were?" he asked, tilting his head to the side as he gave her a lazy look of mild interest that anyone who knew him well would recognise as a genuine expression of curiosity. "What have I done this time?"

[sheisthesunshine]

If she thought maybe he'd just gotten there early instead of not realized when he was supposed to get there (she didn't) then his curiosity would have broken that illusion. Therefore, it was maybe for the best she had never been fooled.

"Arrived just on time~! You're getting better at it!" She clasped her hands together. "It's because you were so excited to spend time with me again, right?"

[scarecrowboy]

He wasn't trying to fool anyone. True to form, he'd managed to wander right into the middle of something he wasn't aware he was involved in, and now found himself floundering in the way she was looking at him with great expectancy in her eyes.

"I uh," he mumbled, looking around as if some help or some answer would come to him.. then he looked back to her, and smiled. "Of course."

[sheisthesunshine]

That was a wise move, Kakashi. Going along with it will prevent the trap from snapping shut.

"Good!" She held out a hand for his, expectant, and maintained her determinedly bright smile. "Now we just have to wait on Obito and we can go! I've already got places planned."

[thebestuchiha]

Annnnd that was his cue as he came hurrying out, throwing his arm around Kakashi's shoulders as he came to a stop. Time to give Kakashi a clue what was going on. "I'm here! I couldn't find this guy so I guessed he hurried ahead of me to see you and came where you told us to meet you. So what did you decide to plan for our outing Rin?"

[scarecrowboy]

Aha, so that was the case. He nudged Obito's side to get himself free a little less forcefully than he normally would have as if that constituted as some kind of thanks for the clues, and then looked expectantly to Rin to wait for her answer. He was a little more than interested as to what she might have in store for the two of them given he was pretty much walking into this one blind...

[sheisthesunshine]

Boys, did they really think the obvious hint dropping would go by unnoticed? Even if it could have been, Kakashi was already busted, so any kind of stealthy hint dropping didn't have much point.

She said nothing, though. Their punishment would come later. For the moment, she just held out a hand to Obito as well, smiling at both of them expectantly. They had maybe a minute before she'd just grab their hands herself if they didn't take hers. "That's a secret. You'll see when we get there~!"

[thebestuchiha]

He knew that gesture, even if she hadn't used it on him in a good long while, and reached out to put his hand in hers. Better to not end up dragged along and make her pout at him... besides, she had nice hands.

"I shouldn't have brought something to sit on right? Because I'm totally unprepared for anything that involves wet grass."

[scarecrowboy]

Kakashi let out the smallest noise of amusement as he watched Obito take Rin's hand, and obliged by doing the same. He, like Obito, knew better than to stop Rin from getting her way as it usually ended up with some variation of detrimental treatment-- not to mention that he'd kind of missed being able to spend time together as a team. But perhaps that was just the sentimental part of him speaking.

[sheisthesunshine]

Mostly the only reason she hadn't was because she didn't have time. It was sad, but her duty as a ninja had kept her away from her dearest bonds for much longer than sh would have liked them to. But that was just another part of being a ninja. Now she was free, and she was determined not to allow her bonds to wither up any further than they already had.

"No wet grass this time! That wouldn't be a very good reunion at all." Once she had both of their hands in hers, she started forward, bold and confident. Actually...it was mostly just excited, because while they were the three of them wandering off in the night to celebrate somewhere as a team, she felt young in a good way, and close to her team in a way that hadn't been missing while she was in Uzu...but...distant.

"Are you both still hungry~?"

[thebestuchiha]

"I wouldn't dream of coming to see you without an appetite on such a nice day." He shifted his hold a little so that he could more comfortably be dragged along, knowing that he had a soft smile on his face. She was so excited though, it made him happy just to see it.

"Wouldn't dream of trying to answer for Kakashi though, he might not have been thinking ahead." The smile turned into a smirk as he looked to the other man.

[scarecrowboy]

Kakashi followed in a comfortable stride, his longer legs not deterring any from his usual gait as Rin dragged the two of them along. He wasn't sure where they were going, or even if Rin knew, or had any plan for them other than the vague intention of some kind of quality time... but he didn't have any plans for the evening, so he hardly minded.

His answer came quiet but affectionate. "I'm always hungry."

[sheisthesunshine]

"Oh, that's smart~!" She grinned over at Obito. It was true, she was excited. It'd been so long since she'd had both of her teammates with her and without a deadline all of them had to meet that it felt like forever.

"Theeennnn....let's have barbecue!" She declared, lifting up both of their hands somewhat. "A team reunion should have barbecue, right? That restaurant is still around, isn't it?"

[thebestuchiha]

He nodded, laughing at the very idea of it vanishing. "That place is an Akimichi haunt, so I'm pretty sure if it ever closed there would be rioting in the streets." He gave her a wide grin, shaking his head before giving Kakashi a fond look.

"Is that why you always get people to buy you food Kakashi? You're eternally starving?"

[scarecrowboy]

He didn't return Obito's glance, but if he was paying attention he might have seen the slightest twitch of Kakashi's mouth indicating a smile.

"There's a difference between being hungry and starving, Obito." He wasn't denying the comment about always being bought food but then he wasn't admitting to it either, and instead he squeezed Rin's hand lightly.

"Barbecue sounds good."
