[Video | Week 7, Day 2 ]

[ura_no_ura]

[ Kakashi looks incredibly worried.

Obito hasn't checked in, in a few days now, and Kakashi's starting to think something might have happened. He's been searching all day with his dogs throughout Fire Country. ]

Obito.

Obito, where are you?

. . .

He is not with you?

[Video]

[ura_no_ura]

[ Kakashi flickers on the screen. He looks calm, but under that impassive demeanor is an edge of panic. You'd have to know how to look for it to see it. ]

No. I thought he went to spend some time alone at a temple... because he does that sometimes, but... I can't seem to find him, and he hasn't been returning any of my calls.

[behindhiseyes]

[ A long pause. ]

I would help you search.

[Video]

[ura_no_ura]

Your help would be... appreciated.

[ Kakashi's voice, and expression, is quiet. ]

[monsterofmist]

Lost one of your mutts, Kakashi-san?

[Video]

[ura_no_ura]

[ Kakashi fights the urge to smash the Hitomi. To grab it and tell Kisame that Obito is anything but a mutt, and the very idea that Obito is a dog, that he is somehow lower than human stirs a kind of rage inside of Kakashi that spikes up so quickly he wasn't even aware it had been there all along. And he might have said something harsh, something demeaning, if it wasn't for Itachi's call to him the other day. About Kisame. ]

Actually, I lost Itachi's cousin.

[ His tone lacks all inflection. ]

[Kisame studies the half-covered face on the screen for a while before answering. Hatake Kakashi.

The Copy Ninja.

The man who had killed Zabuza.

The man who Kisame had last seen on his knees in a pool of water.

He'd been surprised, then, that Kakashi had lived. Impressed, even.

Then.]

It seems to me that Konoha has a habit of losing Uchiha, Kakashi-san.

[Video]

[ura_no_ura]

Konoha does not exist in this world, Kisame-san.

[video]

[blackest_ink]

Let me know should you require searching help.

[video]

[ura_no_ura]

That would be very helpful...

[video]

[blackest_ink]

I'll look from above. Where does he live?

[Pause, then a bit sheepishly.]

...and what does he look like?

[neargenius]

[This is the person that L said to trust. And this is the person who supposedly knows about people, turned to cats (as ridiculous as the thought is). But Near pauses a moment, thinking. A question before asking.]

Someone is missing?

[audio // private]

[ura_no_ura]

Yes. A thirteen year old boy. He has black hair and wears orange goggles. Have you seen him by any chance?

[Audio - Private]

[smiling_umino]

He is not answering my calls as well.

[He sounds partially alarmed.]

[Audio - Private]

[ura_no_ura]

My dogs haven't been able to find him...

[Audio - Private]

[smiling_umino]

[The silence is long and heavy. And it can only mean one thing.]

... maybe he's in another village.
