Hollow's pov

I shrunk back as a masked man with a rather childish voice charged into the room, arms flailing happily. 

"Tobi senses chakra!" He repeated, bouncing around excitedly. 

"I said to shut up, un!" Deidara repeated, louder this time. I flinched slightly, glancing at the grim ghosts. 

"Don't trust him." Midori warned. 

"That's Obito Uchiha. He goes by Tobi, so you definitely need to call him that as well. He's... well, he's gone insane." Rin sounded sort of sad. Perhaps she knows him, and he is the one she's here for. That seems plausible... but maybe not. 

"Tobi just wants to make a new friend!" Tobi whined in a pouty sort of way. 

"I'll be your fucking friend if you get me that damn brat." Hidan thrust a finger my direction. Tobi's head tilted like a dog's would. "Leader-sama told me to watch him, but they won't hand the little rat over! I'm pretty sure it's just because he can see fucking ghosts or some shit." Hidan scoffed a little at Itachi, as though he were being petty. 

"Ghosts?" Tobi blinked... well, I think he did. It is hard to tell.

"Yeah, the little shit can see dead shit." Hidan shrugged carelessly. It wasn't that noticeable, but I swear Obito tensed slightly. 

"That is so cool! Tobi wants to see! Is little-boy-chan being held by a ghost?" Tobi bounded over. Itachi's eyes narrowed. So he's suspicious too. 

"Yeah, apparently. His name's Hollow. The kid can see 'em, touch 'em, talk to 'em." Kisame informed. Shisui pulled me closer to him, and Yahiko and Rin stepped forward protectively, although they couldn't be seen. Midori looked fearful, latching onto the grim Sasodai. 

I gulped, my lips pressing into a thin line as Obito approached.

"Hi, Hollow-chan! Tobi is Tobi!" Obito announced lightly. 

"Shut up, brat. You're loud." Kakazu grumbled, looking up from his money briefly to glare. Tobi gave a stiff salute. 

"Tobi is a good boy!" He exclaimed. 

"No. Tobi is not." Shisui hissed dangerously, taking a step back. 

"Leave him alone." Itachi demanded. 

"Relax, Itachi. He's not doin' anything." Kisame gave Itachi an odd look. It seems Itachi is the only one who knows how dangerous... Tobi is. Everyone else appears to see him as a fool.

"Go away! Please, stay away from him!" Rin pleaded. Fear filled my body as Obito reached towards me, lifting me up and out of Shisui's arms. The curly-haired Uchiha glared, gritting his teeth at his inability to do anything. I stared at Obito with wide eyes. 

"P-Please do-don't kill m-me." I stuttered quietly. Kisame barked out a laugh. 

"Tobi wouldn't hurt a fly. I still don't know why leader-sama keeps him around." The shark-like man grinned. I shivered slightly, and Tobi spun my around.

"Tobi things Hollow-chan is so cute!" He cooed, gripping me a little tighter than was comfortable. I took it as a silent warning. This man... is dangerous. 

"Give her here!" Shisui pulled me down and out of Obito's grip, catching me. The man blinked, letting out a squeal. 

"A ghost! A ghost!" He shrieked, leaping onto the couch with dramatic fear. 

"They can't fucking touch you, you idiot." Hidan scoffed. 

"Tobi felt it take Hollow-chan!" Obito wailed. It was almost comical. A grown man... 

"So fucking what? I just want to get some god damn sleep, but I have to have my eye on that brat." Hidan grumbled, glaring at Itachi who clicked his tongue in response. Shisui moved away from Tobi, but it was no use, the man-child continued towards us. 

"Ghosty can't touch Tobi! Tobi is a good boy!" Tobi spun around happily. I let out a squeal as he plucked me from Shisui's grasp, racing towards the hall.

"S-Shisui!" I wailed, tears springing to my eyes. Itachi's eyes widened slightly, and Shisui raced towards me, diving for me. 

"Obito, bring her back!" Rin screamed. The ghosts chased after me, but Obito did some weird thing the second we entered the hall. One second we were darting down the dark passageway. 

And the next, we weren't.
