Author Notes: I'm re-writing this fanfic. It was first published in 2008 and honestly I'm not very proud with how crappy my writing is. This fanfic is inspired by all Kisame Pairings. You guys made a sad man live a happy AU life. I thank all of you who gave me supreme inspiration. Kisame will be proud :")

The setting changes into Naruto Shippuden rather than the earlier Naruto to cater to the development of the story. Also, this story is an AU with parts relating to the real Naruto story.

It was after 6 pm in Konoha village. The wind blew mercilessly and rain is around the corner. People pushed their way back to their home or into establishments by the side of the street. The sky turned dark and the moon shone dimly from behind the clouds.

The sounds of footsteps were camouflaged by the loud gushing of the wind. There is no exception to the girl running down the empty alley in down town Konoha. Her shoulder length hair lay damp and wet. She ran under a balcony ahead and stopped there. Huffing loudly, she ruffled her hair; trying to get the water out from her hair. Her eyes laid sight on the glass behind her. The empty and dark interior made the glass a mirror where she could see her own reflection.

Four years…

It was four years ago when the incident happened. She noticed the blank pearly eyes staring straight into her own reflection from behind her long bangs. The bangs that hid her pain and sorrow.

Tsk.

The rain gushed louder and she was pissed at the fact that she is going to be late. Suddenly, a loud clink reverberated through the alley. Itwasn't very noticeable due to the rain but her shinobi ears could hear it loud enough. She readies her kunai from her pouch. After the incident 4 years ago, she never left home without her weapons; always polished and sharpened aiming to kill. She slithered quietly to the building; as not to alert the intruders. Some slight screaming was heard; a plea, a cry, a shout of help. With that, she jumped into the house quickly but with caution.

No crime is going to happen in my watch.

She jumped to the source of the sound just to witness the brutal murder of a woman. Blood sprayed around her; some splattering on her face. She looked blankly at the scene and saw the perpetrator; A tall man with large muscles, short spiky hair, a hard stare, sharp teeth lining up into a grin while holding a big-ass fat sword. Her breath hitched as she had her first encounter with a S-ranked Missing-nin; Hoshigaki Kisame.

"Please! I'll give him back the money! Please give me time!" The fat pudgy man begged for his life.

I honestly couldn't care less. This man borrowed a large amount of money from Kakuzu and I am sent to collect his debts. I could have reasoned an excuse to Kakuzu for paying late, but this man gambled his borrowed funds to sake and whores. I smile ruefully at this man. I pity this man for his bad decisions but oh well. I swung my sword aiming at him until a sound alerted me. I grabbed whoever is hiding and dragged her to the living room; together with her pathetic excuse of a husband.

"Please spare my family! They have nothing to do with this!" The man begged again.

"Shouldn't have borrowed that money at the first place…" With his last words, he slashed her neck; shredding her entire skin, head half hanging and spraying blood all over the furniture. I heard the man scream his ass off as he pissed on his spot. I smirked at the sight. A thunder with humongous lightning flashed behind me. I heard a gasp and I snapped at her direction. A girl with shoulder length hair widened her beautiful pearly eyes in recognition. Pearl coloured eyes; a Hyuuga. I felt a smirk passed my mouth and I stabbed the man frozen in horror in his chest. Samehada purred as it shreds his innards and ripped it back out. I stared at the girl in the corner, she had her kunai in her hand but her muscles are all tense and I could smell her fear radiating in the room. The blood splashed on my torso but I don't give a damn. My mind wondered how such a young girl could maintain her fear at what just happened.

I dashed suddenly at her and swung Samehada to cut her off. Witnesses must be eliminated. Sorry little girl. I smirked. She looked at me in shock before composing herself to defend against my sword. Her kunai clanked itself to my sword; creating sparks and cracks. With another mighty swing, her kunai shattered. I smirked, game over it is. Suddenly, she disappeared from my sight and I felt a huge pain all over my limbs.

"Hyakku-Jyu Ron Sho!" She cried, taking he momentum to block all my chakra paths.

I hit the walls and I could feel blood trailing down my mouth. Shit. I couldn't move anything under my head. She panted wildly and took a few kunais and threw them at me. I saw 3 embed themselves into my stomach, liver, and another missed my heart by a few millimeters.

"The end of Kisame Hoshigaki…" she stared coldly and took a short dagger.

Fuck. This wasn't the plan.

A loud thud shocked me out of my desperation. Two red eyes stared at me coldly.

"That was embarrassing Kisame. Kill her and dump her body. This wasn't part of the plan." The man turned around and left without a word.

"Damn." I took my time and staggered to rustle my pouch for some soldier pill. Shit. This girl hits hard. So that's the rumoured Gentle Fist huh? It ain't as gentle as it sounds. I popped a few soldier pills into my mouth. I can feel the chakra growing slowly in me. Screw killing her. I took Samehada and strapped it to my back before leaving the vicinity. I heard a name being called under the gentle rain.

"Hinata-sama!"

Hinata Hyuuga eh? I hope that's her name. Retribution will be a bitch. Is smirked and collected every single chakra I had to shunshin back to base.

Fun Facts:

-Kisame is a sadist when it comes to murdering someone. A clean cut is not exciting for him.

-Hinata is a high Chuunin so her passive abilities are heightened more than other lower ranked shinobis.

-Hinata memorized BINGO books, therefore she knew who Kisame was.

-Kisame is not in his blood lust zone and he could still appreciate beauty when he sees one. Not that he never fought a Hyuuga before, so why her eyes looks pretty are still a mystery even to Kisame himself.

-Hinata took the opportunity to do her Gentle Fist on Kisame. It was a sudden decision but she gambled on her luck and managed to hit him. He Gentle Fist is modified to hit harder and pierce sharper. On normal shinobi, that level of her Gentle Fist would last for weeks.
