After a long ,long time away, I've come back with new ideas. It feels rigt I should take the time to dip my pen into the KisaIta fountain.

There was a tinkling silence as Itachi swished around his iced green tea. A faint smile hidden behind his black and red cloak. Kisame looked up at him from a pile of papers and said softly , "For a ninja village who's heard of us, they really aren't concerned that we're here". Itachi placed the stick from his dango onto his plate. "I suppose so. That bothers me." he said, glancing around the streets of Konoha.. Kisame opened his mouth to retaliate, but a voice from outside the shop made Itachi put up his hand in silence. "You're here early" , "I didn't want to be late. Want something here?". Itachi motioned for Kisame to follow him.

The shark placed the tab onto the table and briskly followed his younger partner. "No thanks, I don't like sweet things". Itachi had hopped up onto a roof top, and peered down at the two figures below. One was In his late twenties or early thirties, with clean white hair. The other thirteen, and broody. Kisame stared at the boy, who looked really similar to..to...He turned quickly toward Itachi. The look on his partner's face was one he's never seen before. Loving, yet pained. "Your brother?!" Kisame mouthed in awe. Itachi nodded, and watched his younger brother from afar, until he walked off down the road.

"Itachi! You never told me you had a little brother." Kisame exclaimed, walking down the road. Itachi looked ahead and walked briskly. "Yes, Sasuke is my younger brother. Now please, keep quiet. I don't want him to find out we're here" . Grinning Kisame swung samehada over his shoulder."Oh hoho, is Sasuke an anbu like you were at thirteen?". "No...he's a genin.". The shark chuckled playfully "Oh weak! Now I want to run into this kid" .

"Enough, Kisame."

Kisame was taken back by Itachi's stern attitude. "Ok, I'm sorry. Don't snap at me" . Itachi shook his head. "I don't want to see him right now." Kisame blinked at his partner. He never opened up about anything. "I didn't leave on a good note. I don't want him to see me". For some odd reason, Kisame couldn't get those words out of his head. I don't want him to see me. Like Itachi was ashamed of himself. If he didn't want to see Sasuke, he'd have just said he'd rather not see him. "What're you doing here? You're akatsuki aren't you?"

Kisame looked at the pair of jounins standing in front of him.

Looks like his problem would have to wait.
