It was early winter and the air was frightful. Kisame looked up to the sky and watched the snowflakes fall. The sight was beautiful. He looked forward and continued walking. Today was the day that he was going to join an elite organization of s-ranked criminals called Akatsuki. He had heard rumors that the people worked in pairs so he hoped that his partner would be his best friend and that they wouldn't act the same way others did when they saw him. Nobody liked being around him. Even his own mother had rejected him. She was just as ugly as he was. But, what she last said to him was true. "No one could love a blue beast like you!" Those words always plagued Kisame. If only he could find one person. One person. That could prove her wrong.
Kisame walked past a mountain when suddenly a doorway began to form. I guess this is the location Kisame thought, stepping through the doorway. When he got in, he looked behind himself and saw the doorway gone. He walked further down the passage way and at the end was a door. He opened the door and there sat, perched on a swivel chair behind a desk, the leader of Akatsuki. Pein.
"Kisame Hoshigaki, I presume. Please, have a seat." Pein greeted, motioning for him to sit down. Kisame did as he was told. Pein had some distinct features that stuck out greatly. One was the many piercings on his face. Two was that he had a bright auburn colored hair. Lastly were his glowing, piercing, swirling eyes that seemed to hypnotize people. "I didn't expect you until later in the afternoon. My apologies. Please wait a few minutes." Pein apologized.
Pein closed his eyes and his face seemed to be focusing. What was going on? Kisame thought that it was most likely a jutsu. Pein, after a minute, opened his eyes and looked at the door. It burst open and in came a man. He was fairly skinny, had pale skin, short black hair covering one eye, crimson red eyes, a cloak that seemed a bit tight on him, black combat boots, and about as much piercings as Pein. He took one look at Kisame and scoffed. "You have got to be kidding me."
"Kisame Hoshigaki, this is your partner. Akira Uchiha. He will be accompanying you on all of your missions. If you have any questions about anything, ask him." Pein said. Akira looked away. Kisame knew what was going on. Akira thought he was a disgrace. He hoped that one day, Akira could warm up to him and they could be friends but there was no chance that he could be friends anytime soon. Akira left the room and Kisame followed.
"Hey, ugly, I don't want to be seen with you. Go find your room on your own, go away from me. I don't care what you do; just stay the heck away from me." Akira said, annoyed. Kisame stopped and sighed. Another one of those people.
Kisame turned
and walked down a different hallway. Things were not going to be good
for him in this organization. His own partner doesn't want to be
seen with him. Kisame just hoped that someone else could be kind and
understand. And actually accept him.
Kisame turned down another
hallway and then bumped into a man that had long black hair, white
skin, golden snake eyes, and a snaky grin. "Oh my gosh," the man
said, jumping back, "you're really . . . ugly." The man
slithered past him and walked quickly away. That didn't go well
. . .
A few minutes later, he saw a woman with blue hair about the same shade of blue as his. He waltzed up to her and said 'hi.' She looked at him and then looked away. "I swear, Pein has been letting more and more freaks into this organization." She muttered. Kisame walked away. Another one down. Maybe he should just give up?
An hour later, he found this huge room where many other people were at. They all stopped and stared at him. Startled, one of the people ended up spilling their drink on their partner in which they received a punch in the face. Kisame could hear the soft whispers in the room.
"So that's the guy everyone's been buzzing about!"
"I hear that he once killed a man!!"
"No kidding, Sherlock. Everyone in this organization has, you Nimrod! What I mean is that he's just one big freak."
"Everyone's right. Unlike everyone else, this man really is . . . ugly."
Kisame didn't want to hear anymore so he quickly left. Why did he have to be born this way? Why must he be so rejected? Why can't he just have one friend? Kisame started to dash away, he didn't like those people. They were all the same!!
CRASH!!
Kisame blinked his eyes open and found himself laying on the floor. He sat up, rubbed his head and then looked at the man sitting up. He had ran into Pein. "What are you doing here and why isn't your partner with you?" He explained everything that happened as soon as he left Pein's office. Pein sighed, "I'm sincerely sorry about Akira's actions. That's an Uchiha for you. All of them are the same. Arrogant."
Pein showed him around, to his room, and gave him a 'uniform' that consisted of a cloak, a shirt, pants, and shoes. By the time his 'tour' was done, it was almost night. He said goodbye to Pein, walked to his room and stayed there. This was his room, his own personal haven where no one could insult him. The only place he was not seen as being monstrous.
