Chapter Text
Surprisingly, nothing strange happens for the next whole hour. Obito, Rin and Gai all simply get the games ready, rearrange a few things, and set all the food out. The only semi-unusual thing that took place was when Obito almost dropped the ramen, and, mind you, it wasn't his fault there were fifteen bowls on one flimsy tray, and Maito Gai swooped down in some acrobatic pose and caught it, flawlessly. It was as if he had been training his whole entire life, waiting for that very moment. Rin just stared in awe, and started clapping.
But now, it was silent, as they each thought about the party, and the Total Awesomeness that would ensue from it.
"So." Gai broke the silence. "Who's invited?" Shit. Obito forgot about that. How could the host of the party forget about its guests? Rin spoke up then, and his inner turmoil began to fade as she brought out a list from her pocket.
"Okay, here's a list of... Everyone we Invited, and..." she pulls out another. "Everyone Expected to Come." She puts the lists on the table across from the couch they are seated on. Obito squints his eyes, and reads them carefully.

He then looked at the next list.

"Kakashi? He's expected to come?" Rin and Obito had a stare-off; neither were willing to explain the situation to Gai. Obito eventually caved in and explained. He tried to sound casual as he could while giving his friend an explanation that hopefully wouldn't cause the strange bowl haired to go on a rant about passion and youth and whatnot.
"Uh, yeah. He stopped by a while ago. He heard about our great party and he just really wanted to go." Gai looked taken aback.
"How was I not aware of the return of my Eternal Rival?" Obito sweatdropped.
"Well, it was just uh, really recent. Not a lot of time to let anybody know." Gai went in deep thought.
"I see."
There was a knock on the door.
Obito swears that if it is Hatake Kakashi who is knocking right now he will literally-
"Oi, open UP dattebane!" Oh. Wow, he's really been out of it, hasn't he? He runs over and opens the door for his sensei, Kushina, and their kid. He laughs nervously before getting bonked on the head by the fiery redhead.
...
More people started coming, one by one. But there was still someone missing...
Obito excused himself, saying he needed to use the restroom, and instead hurried to his bedroom.
Which was currently occupied by Hatake Kakashi, who was asleep, cuddling with Obito's stuffed cat. He was swaddled, yes, swaddled, in Obito's fluffiest blanket.
Obito doesn't even know why he's surprised. With the way things were, this was bound to happen one day.
He approaches Kakashi slowly, and snaps his fingers by his ear. Kakashi's wolf ear twitches. Obito blinks. The silver-haired teen then turns around pulls the blanket off of himself, yawning. Kakashi was in his half-wolf form (think Kakashi with cute fluffy wolf ears and a wolf tail), for some reason. Obito calls it his Fluffy Form though because it's so fluffy.
After Kakashi stretches a bit, he speaks to Obito.
"I'm not late am I?"
"Uh..." Obito intelligently replied, because how the hell was he supposed to reply? He decides to use the good ol' Answer the Question With a Question trick. "Why are you, uhh, in your Fluffy Form?" And why was he always in Obito’s bed?!
"My what?"
"Your Fluffy Form. You know, your half-wolf form."
"I wasn't aware it was called that." Kakashi rolls his eyes, causing Obito to roll his eyes. "And I don't know why, I can't really control it." Obito blinked. Kakashi couldn't control the Fluffy Form?
"Haha!"
"You're an i-" Before Kakashi could finish whatever he was saying, a mini flash of yellow bursts into the room.
"Obi!" Naruto squeals excitedly at him. Obito is frozen. What if Kakashi scares him? Naruto then finally noticed Kakashi. The young blonde stares at thd strange silver haired creature for a few seconds vefore figuring he was just a big puppy.
"Woof!" Naruto begins running around, barking and yipping like a puppy would, and Obito is completely mortified. Kakashi looks calm, but furious in his own way.
"It's mocking me." Obito gulps loudly, and hopes that he won't piss his pants. He nervously laughs, as Naruto starts to howl.
"W-what? Pshh, don't be ridiculous! Ha...haha." Kakashi stares at him Impassively.
"Make it leave."
"Hey! I can't just do that!" Kakashi slowly approached Naruto. "O-Oi! Get away from him!" Obito's yelling was ignored.
"Leave." Kakashi's tone sent chills going down his spine. Naruto froze up. Obito glared at his old teammate. Then Naruto booped Kakashi's nose.
Kakashi blinked, not really comprehending what the child had done.
But once he had, Obito felt a sinking feeling in his stomach. Waves of killing intent were being thrown at them. But Naruto seemed to be unaffected by it. Obito was confused. How was Naruto smiling? He stared, wide-eyed at him. The young one just grinned at them.
Obito risked a weary glance at Kakashi, who currently had the exact opposite expression as Naruto. He was baring his teeth like a wild animal, trying to hold back his snarls and growls. Obito gulped.
"How about we all go downstairs?!" He loudly asked. The two didn't reply.
Kakashi twitched. Obito then leapt out at Kakashi to take him down before he could put a hand on Naruto. Kakashi tried pushing him away, so they ended up rolling around on the floor. Naruto laughed at them. Suddenly they bump into Obito's wobbly three-legged dresser, and it falls towards them. They both screech. Obito curls up into fetal position on top of Kakashi. Kakashi can't do the same, so he ends up wrapping his arms and legs around Obito's neck and back. The dresser falls on them. It's silent for a few seconds.
"Oi!! GET OFF OF ME!!!!"
"I CAN'T BAKAKASHI!!" Then it was silent. "Naruto, can you get your dad to help us?" He heard little feet shuffling away, so he assumes that it won't be long for help to come.
"His DAD?! Are you INSANE?!"
"NO. YOU ARE! THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SO DUMB!"
"MY DUMBNESS ISN'T CAUSED BY MY INSANITY!"
"Whatever!"
"Are you two.. alright there? I heard you needed help." A familiar voice asks carefully. That was... sooner than expected. But definitely not unwelcome, and Sensei had always been very fast.
"Minato-sensei! Yes! Help us!!" Obito says. The blonde man lifts the dresser up off of them, and blinks down at them.
"Get off of me." Kakashi glares at him.
"Let go of me and I will!" Obito glares back. Kakashi lets him go, and Obito gets off of him. Kakashi stands up too, and looks at Minato-sensei.
"Kakashi-kun. It's been a while, hasn't it? How have you been?" The blonde man asks casually, with Naruto hiding behind his leg.
"Oh. I've been, um, fine. You?"
"Yeah. Me too." Minato glances between the two of them, before looking at Obito. "Obito, more people are coming. Rin is wondering what's taking you so long." Obito groans, long-suffering. They all walk downstairs, Obito and Naruto leading the way.
Rin somehow manages to glare at him while also smiling at Naruto. It's actually pretty impressive. But then she saw Kakashi and she gaped, glaring at him instead. Obito ran up to her, as Minato and Naruto went to Kushina-nee.
"Rin." He said, a bit worriedly. "How are things going?"
"Bad. Gai's in the kitchen with the boys. They found... the bananas." Dread clouded Obito's mind. Not the bananas... He sprinted to the kitchen. Oh no... it was worse than he thought. Kakashi was about to follow his lead and enter the kitchen, but he saw what was going on in there and noped out.
"Take the bananas! Away! From! Your penises!" They all stopped, and slowly moved them away.
"The bananas are good, Obito." Genma said, grinning. Obito stared. And sighed. He turned around, and looked towards Rin for help, but all he got was a smirk. Kakashi was too busy trying to escape from Naruto, not that the basted would help him any way.
"Okay!! Time for, um, party games!!" Everyone turned to stare at him, and Obito blushed with all of the attention. One old man, who Obito didn't remember inviting, whistled at him. Kakashi glared at the old man, which made the whistle die out into sort of a wheeze.
Okay, anyways. He walked over to the box of games, and grabbed on randomly. He pulled it out. "Capture the flag", it read. He lifted it up, for people to see.
"Everyone who's going to play it, come outside!" Rin said loudly, sparing him all of the attention. Genma, Gai, Tenzo, Kakashi, Naruto, Kurenai, Anko, Rin and himself went outside. Everyone else just kind of did their own things inside the house.
The teams were so unfair. It was him, Kakashi, Tenzo and Naruto on one team, and the rest on the other. Obito let out a dramatic battle cry. Kakashi got into battle position. Obito grabbed some dirt on the ground, and put brown markings on his face. This was his war face.
Kakashi looked at him weirdly. Obito glanced up at him.
"What? It's my war paint."
"It's actually cow shit, from the smell of it." Obito gasped. He just smeared shit all over his face!! He grabbed a leaf from a plant and ferociously began trying to rub it off. "That's poison ivy." Obito cried out in resignation, and started scratching his face. "You're such a dumbass." Kakashi muttered.
The game started, and Obito was desperate. He needed to win! But Naruto got a little too interested in talking to the new children who had just arrived, and Tenzo was obsessed with trees, and kept climbing them.
So it was just him and Kakashi, against the rest.
"Kakashi, go for offense, I'll be defense." Kakashi grunted in acknowledgement. And they began.
Kakashi ran towards the other team's base, skillfully avoiding people trying to tag him, mostly because his fluffy form makes his stamina and speed way higher than the average person's. Obito shook his head, focusing on what he needed to do. He couldn't get off track, or distracted by Bakakashi.
Kurenai is on their base, trying to capture their flag. Once she saw Obito, she ran away, knowing he was a little faster than her, but she was slowed down by something hitting her from above. Obito, confused, glanced upwards. There, Tenzo was, with acorns in his arms aimed for her. (And he had pretty good aim as well.) Obito was sure that that was basically illegal in this game, but he didn't care since it was his team.
He quickly caught up with Kurenai, tagged her, and put her in one of the jails that was hidden behind a large rock.
He heard a curse somewhere, and Obito ran towards the area. Genma shouted, springing from a bush, then started running. Obito chased him, tagged him, and put him in a different jail.
"Genma!" He heard Rin shout, then her eyes widened when she saw Obito. Obito stood in front of the jail, preventing her from tagging him and letting him free.
She tried running around him, but it wasn't working out.
"Obito, no puppyguarding!"
"I'm not!"
"You are!"
"So? It's allowed."
"No its not! It's unfai-aCK!" She was interrupted by a barrage of acorns coming her way, knocking her to the ground. Suddenly Kakashi ran up to him, holding the flag, looking smug.
"Puppyguarding is allowed Rin. But it doesn't matter now, since we won. I have the flag." Kakashi waved it around, and even twirled for dramatic effect. Obito gaped.
"Bakakashi!! You need to put the flag with the other one to win!!" Kakashi looked confused.
"Oh." He replied plainly. Rin laughed, and ran after Kakashi who was unmoving, still unsure of what he had to do.
"Go now!" Kakashi turned and ran, with Rin at his heels. He quickly shook her off though, leaving her annoyed. Anko came out of no where, about to pounce on Obito, but she tripped on a small rock, and fell in mud. Or whatever it was. Obito tagged her, and dragged her to the last unoccupied jail.
All was going well until he heard the unmistakable sound of Kakashi's lightning blade (not like chidori or raikiri since he doesn't have sharingan... like it's an actual blade, but like lightning - think Destiny arctsrider blade ok) being activated, and him yelling.
"HAND OVER THE FLAG." Obito cringed.
There was a lot of screaming after that, and the game pretty much ended there.
...
They all went inside, and began eating.
"Obito, why don't you ever in it epeople over at your house more often?" Kurenai asked. "It's actually very nice. Well, when it's cleaned." She muttered that last part, and Obito didn't quite catch what he said but Kakashi must of because he gave her a dirty glare.
"Well, notice how he doesn't have any internet? And how-" Obito slapped his hand over Rin's mouth, laughing awkwardly.
"Yeah, why don't you have internet?" Genma asked and even Gai looked at him curiously. Kakashi was the only one who didn't pay him any attention. "You have a big house, so it's obviously not money issues.."
"Actually, um... I have a lot of debt, and I can't afford it." Obito said quietly. Kakashi then looked up.
"Oh, I spoke to your landlord. You don't have any more debt, by the way." Obito couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"You talked to my landlord?! No way. She never said anything to me!! I still have debt, Baka. Words don't change anything."
"You don't."
"I do... have debt."
"No landlord, no debt." Obito paused.
"What?"
"Solve problems by getting rid of the source." Obito stared at him.
"Wait wait wait. What exactly do you mean?" Kakashi sipped his tea, ignoring him, and silence fell over the table. Obito groaned, and slumped over the table. He was so done with this...
