This is a little cute, now, isn't it. Rin having a crush on Iruka. How adorable. He never did properly get to know her before, having met her for the first time when she was no longer there. They buried her together. But here she is again, and alive. Death in this place seems to have no meaning. You do not die here. Cannot. Kakashi wonders, sometimes, what that means. To not be able to die.
But this...
He supposes this isn't quite the life anyone would want. Not being able to die and having sexual fantasies shown to the rest of the world. Ah. What a parody of a life this is, sometimes. ]
So, you fancy Iruka, hmm?
Reply
N-no, not at all! I really don't! It, uh, it isn't really about him.
[She doesn't know what the purpose of this is. Does he intend to tease her, to mercilessly derive amusement from her predicament?
The thought makes her pout a little.]
Reply
Ah, is that so. Well, if you did have a crush on him, there is nothing wrong with that all. He's quite the catch.
[ He's teasing her very lightly, a gentle kind of thing. Not all malicious in any way. ]
Reply
[But to Rin, this is torture. Okay, not really, because she's had real torture, but it is inconveniencing her very much.
It's the truth she's saying -- though Iruka is quite handsome -- so she feels she must make that absolutely clear. She's not dreaming about Iruka because of Iruka.
Of course, she'd about die before divulging who it was really about. It's absolutely nobody's business, after all.]

[ Kakashi sighs here. ]
I was only teasing.
[ Very, very lightly. ]
Reply
Ah... right.
Please excuse my overblown reaction, then.
[But she can't quite keep the peeved look from her face.]

Before I came to this dimension, I was in another one that showed our dreams as well. I was there for about three months... It was tough for me, at first. I'm, well... A pretty private person.
[ A pause. ]
It gets easier with time. You get used to it.
[ Is he trying to give her some advice? ]
Reply
Another world like that. Right.
[And then she touches her hand to her forehead.]
Well, ah, thanks. Suppose I'll have to!
Reply
[ Or Kakashi's just become too inured to this. ]
That other place... It was called Somarium. It was very different from this world.
Reply
[Sigh, again. This is going to be grand. But when he talks about this "Somarium", that's when Rin gets curious.]
But not your homeworld?
Reply
[ Kakashi tilts his head a little, then. Somarium. He hasn't thought about that place in quite some time. ]
Somarium wasn't my home world, no. It was a different dimension, with quite a lot of people from all different worlds. Similar to this one, really. But it was a much smaller place... with a village and a city. There was a strange barrier around it, and a desert beyond the barrier. I never did manage to explore beyond the barrier to see what was out there...
Oh, and there was a castle floating in the sky.
[ A pause. ]
I'm not sure what brought me to that place, but I know the gods brought me here.
Reply
You seem pretty knowledgeable about all of this...
[Open and hopefully encouraging look. Yes, do tell me more.]
Mh, that whole thing with the gods seems pretty undeniable right now.
[Very deliberate pause.]
Unless you would have... some more direct proof?
