Hey! First story so go easy on the flames! I don't own Naruto. I don't own the feline creatures from Chronicles of Riddick (couldn't resist; I called them Riscouthe). There is an OC, as this will be an eventual KisamexOC story. Not bothering with a summary, but at least give it a chance! Warn me if the characters are OOC or anything. Kisame most likely is, sorry! Pronunciations for made up words at the bottom.

Chapter 1: New Mission
-Kisame POV-
"Kisame, we must leave now. Leader-sama requests our presence," stated a monotone voice I knew all too well.
"Requests? You mean demands," I grumbled back, heaving my beloved Samehada back into place. The stoic Uchiha replied with his trademark 'Hn' and left the clearing, knowing I would follow, and I did.
-21 minutes later-
-Same POV-
"It's about time! What is so important that Leader-sama wants to see us in person anyways?"
"Hn. We'll find out," Itachi said as he did a few hand seals and watched as what seemed to be a normal oak tree developed the outline of a door on its trunk. Opening the door, he strode down the stone steps to our underground base, me following closely behind. After taking a few turns and disarming a few genjutsus, we stopped before a red door and knocked three times.
"Enter," ordered a familiar voice. Stepping inside as quietly as a mouse, we faced a pair of glowing gray-ringed eyes.
"Kisame , Itachi, it took you long enough to get here considering how close you were," the man growled, "I have an urgent mission for you, as you might have guessed. I want the two of you to pay a possible new recruit a visit and see if she's interested."
"Leader-sama, I was not aware that we were searching for new members," stated a confused Itachi, well, as confused as an egotistical Uchiha can get.
"We weren't, but this woman just so happens to be a Swift." At this the Sharingan wielder looked surprised before putting his emotionless mask back on.
"What's so special about a Swift? I've never even heard of one," I spoke up, not as satisfied with my leader's answer as my partner was.
"Swift is a clan. And every member has a particular kekkai genkai that gives them a particular ability that will aid the Akatsuki greatly. The kekkai genkai is called the mysterious Ritousgan, and allows the user to gather a sixth element that a normal ninja wouldn't even know existed. The element doesn't have a general name, but comes in two types, Moonlight and Sunlight, you'll know why they're called this when you see them. Anyways, once gathered, the user uses their chakra to form it and, basically, bring it to life. Our potential new member is a Moonlight type from what my sources have told me. The identified creatures for this type are Riscouthe, Cobra, Hydra, Dark Dragon, and Sea Tiger."
"If this thing is so powerful, how come I've never heard of it?"
"Because most of them were executed after being accused of sorcery around the time when the mere idea of a ninja was new, but it is now known that sorcery is a myth and that they were just using their chakra. Few of them survived and now you have a better chance of being buried alive with three other people in a huge coffin fifty feet underground than running into a Swift. Now are you done asking questions yet?"
"Hai, Leader-sama. I was just a little curious is all."
"Good. The Swift's name is Aserha and she lives just outside of Kirigakure. Go on your mission now, I have important business to attend to."
"Hai."
-2 days and 3 hours later-
-Kisame POV-
"Hey Itachi, we're coming up to Kirigakure in about five miles. Where do you wanna search first?" I asked with as much patience as I could muster. I was really getting tired of this mission, already I missed the battlefield. And who knows how long we'll have to stay with this 'Aserha,' whoever she is. We didn't even need a new member, we already had Tobi to replace Sasori while he was recovering from his 'death'. That meaning we already had an extra member, as Tobi was going to stay with us, I'm sure, but now we're going to have another member too many. Hopefully she isn't as crazy as the kid. Hopefully. I already know Kakuzu won't be happy, meaning I have to listen to him whine about having to pay for the newbie's expenses. Joy.
"Her residence is most likely in the surrounding forest, we should start looking," said Itachi. Sure enough, within twenty minutes we were gazing at a two story house four miles south of Kiri.
"So, do we just go in?" I questioned, unsure of what to do.
"Hn."
"Yeah, that's real- wait, what's that!" I exclaimed, gazing wearily at some type of… silver essence, you could say, that was floating in the air! I couldn't help but stare as the thing took the shape of some kind of feline-like creature. It was about mid-thigh high on me and was covered in some shimmering gray-silver spikes that were like some type of dense armor. Its eyes were a swirling mass of dark and light blue, the thing had no pupil. Opening its maw , the creature snarled showing sharp, needle-like teeth. Tail waving gently in the air, ears flattened on it's head, belly lowered slightly to the ground, it could pass as a giant mutated housecat in a very bad mood waiting to spring.
"What do you think you are doing so near to my house?"
Good? Bad? Tell me! Please review.
