When Hoshigaki Kisame was 15 he was, by all means, a bad guy. He murdered and fought and killed and he loved every damn second of it. So when his apartment in Kiri was broken into by none other than an extremely drunk girl with magenta hair and bright blue-green eyes, he was positively puzzled. And when she sized him up and accused him of breaking into her apartment he should've killed her then and there. There was just something about her that amused him. So he ultimately decided to give her an extra chance at life.
Maybe it was the fact that she didn't fear him. Maybe it was the fact that she left red-faced when she realized she flipped the door numbers. Or maybe it was the fact that she pounded on his door the next day until he opened it up and then smiled brightly and shoved a plate of cupcakes into his hands then ran away screaming sorry. He reasoned that he didn't kill her that time because her cupcakes were definitely the best things he's ever eaten. He had another prime time to kill her when she pounded on his door a week later and didn't relent until he gave her back her glass plate. He also passed up another chance when she almost broke his door down with her incessant knocking to ask him if he was hungry and wanted to eat her freshly baked cookies, which he accepted. After all, if her cupcakes were good shouldn't her cookies be too? Alas, he was wrong about that, which he later found out after puking twice. He should've killed her then since she apparently tried to kill him with those disgusting monstrosities.
He continued to pass up these numerous opportunities where he should've been angered by this dumb, low class, medic-nin who cried in front of a medium sized spider and begged him to kill it. Why he killed the spiders and bugs but continued to spare her life in his company baffled him beyond belief. He must've killed more spiders than people at that point. What had his life come to? She was weak genin and had the chakra reserves of his left pinky finger.
Then, oh, he remembered this day clearly. He should've killed her when she popped out of nowhere and kissed him. Him! He was a damned formidable shinobi yet he had let his guard down around her so many times she managed to slip through his senses and attack him in such a way. Perhaps that was the day when he realized that he had fallen for her. And goddammit he didn't even make the first move!
Hoshigaki Kisame was 16 when he married Aino Hotaru. He was just glad that he asked her before that damned girl asked for his hand in marriage. Fate must have thought his life was hilarious. He married a woman whose name meant "Star of Love," while he the "Shark Demon." But Hotaru gave him something to come home to when he was frustrated, gave him love and comfort, made his favorite shrimp filled meals, baked him everything under the sun (just not cookies), and so much more. But the best thing she had ever given him came in the form of a tiny bump that grew slowly and steadily.
But fate be damned, he loved this girl and his growing pup, and everything was peaceful for a while.
This story came from a fanart I saw and I just knew that I had to write a freakin' fic about this. As per my favorite style, short chapters, and semi-serious stories. Ahh! I have such fun ideas for this fic. I currently have an update-schedule of this updating every other week on Sundays. If I'm able to, I'll update once a week, but having two weekly updates, and an update of a much longer story once or twice a month, it's going to get jam-packed.
Please please, read and review! You all know how much I love them.
