My New Partner: Prologue
I sit in the one of the main living rooms, waiting for my leader to come and tell me he has found a new partner for me again. It is the third time in a row my partner has died on a mission, three totally different partners and three totally different missions and yet they had all been killed so easily. The ticking of the clock filled the silent room and Kisame hit his lower lip, the bloody clock was getting on his nerves as well as the constant yelling from the other room. He was bored beyond belief and wanted to go train, but no he had been ordered to stay in this room until the leader allows him to leave or finds him a partner. It seemed like hours Kisame was left alone in the empty room, until the constant yelling suddenly stopped and Kisame pecked his head of the room to see what the hell was going on.
There walking down the hallway was none other than Madara, Kisame rolled his eyes and then noticed a small teenager in his arms. The teenager looked tiny in Madara's arms; he was shivering and coughing up blood every now and then. Blood had stained the front of Madara's cloak and the boy's clothes. Pein followed closely behind Madara and then Kakuzu and Sasori, Kisame closed the door and returned sitting on the couch.
"Kisame, follow," Pein ordered, from the other side of the door.
Kisame fell into line behind Pein and then walked through the hideout to a spare bedroom next to Kisame's. Kisame waited to be given an order, he watched as Madara set the small teen on the bed and quickly left the room with Pein. Sasori and Kakuzu stayed and worked together for once to heal the young boy. As hours past Kisame didn't move from his spot against the wall, when he noticed a ripped piece of clothing from the boy with half the Uchiha crest on it. Kisame looked up at the boy to see, Sasori and Kakuzu had done everything they could and now they just had to wait to see if he survived.
"You better not let him be killed," Madara ordered, walking back down the hall and into the main living room.
Kisame was totally alone with the boy, who was his supposed to be new partner.
"Boy, what is your name?" Kisame asked, as the young teen sat up and looked over at him.
His eyes were dark voids of nothing and his face was expressionless. His hair was pitch black and finished at his lower back and his skin was white, the white sheets around him looked grey when compared to the young boy. He was so weak, so little, so unlike Kisame. Kisame looked at the boy and thought he would snap him in half with one try, he was going to be Kisame's partner and that wasn't going to change unless he suddenly died.
"Itachi," The small boy whispered, his voice shaking as he spoke and looked towards the big blue man beside him.
