Temptation
Hoshigaki Kisame swung again with Samehada, something was wrong this time, he had never even gotten close to besting his partner before, and yet this time the younger Akatsuki stumbled slightly and reached up, rubbing at his eyes with the back of his hands.
However shocked he may have been, he was not going to go easy on the boy only to allow him some form of deceit, his partner was smart and he would not be bested when actually making a turn for the better.
"Kisame." Uchiha Itachi muttered, stumbling back again, his arm up to shield himself from the older mans blows.
The older man swung again, the Samehada slamming into Itachi's right arm and throwing the boy to the ground.
"What was that?" Kisame laughed, setting his sword aside and towering over his partner, who remained on the ground, rubbing at his eyes.
Itachi, placed one hand on the ground and slowly pulled himself to his feet, swaying slightly as he did so.
"Kisame." He muttered again and grabbed his headband, allowing the article to fall to the ground, the metal plate hitting the ground with a clang.
Kisame looked at his partner with confusion and Itachi rubbed his eyes again.
"I...I can't see."
