It was night time in the Land of Fire and in a small clearing a man known as the monster of the mist was sitting by the fire and is currently very, very hungry
Licking his lips Kisame watched the rabbit he had captured earlier being slowly roasted over his campfire, saliva dripping as the intoxicating smell hit him again. "who's a good little bunny!" cooed Kisame while mentally counting down until the rabbit was finished. "you are! Oh yes you are, you will make me a very happy man won't you little bunny-chan"
Ears perking up as he heard a faint rustling in the forest surrounding him, stretching his senses to identify the culprit of the offending sound, if anyone dared to interrupt his meal they would find themselves on the receiving end of a very large sword and no amount of begging would make him show them mercy. Lazily he let his eyes roam the forest edge while shifting his right arm to his bandaged sword lying beside him, pretending to polish his sword he opened his backpack and took out a rag and some oil and started to remove the bandages on samehada.
Another faint sound, something was coming closer.
Tensing his muscles he finally got a read on what was coming `Small chakra signature, probably a fresh genin´ tasting the chakra in the air he frowned `it..tastes tainted? I've never tasted chakra like this, is he poisoned? Hmm, no poison I've ever seen or heard about taints your chakra like this.´ cocking his head slightly he heard a branch being stepped on and suddenly a small blond boy stumbled out from the bushes.
Looking at the boy Kisame chuckled at the kid's disheveled appearance, a small rift in his blue t-shirt with a orange swirl on and dirt all over his orange shorts, a couple of leaf's and twigs was hanging in the kids hair as mud and dust was clinging to his face.
Hearing the sound of someone laughing Naruto looked up and glared at this strange man who was laughing at him, then when the fire illuminated the man and he finally saw who was laughing his eyes widened. Kisame gave a small sigh and waited for the moment the child would scream something about monsters and running away, to say that he was surprised when the blond opened his mouth was a understatement.
"Woah...you're tall" Naruto whispered with a awed tone as he looked at the man who was towering above him.
Time seemed to slow down as Kisame looked disbelievingly at the small brat.
"Tall? Thats what you notice first?" he said suddenly very unsure about himself, he had never met anyone who didn't notice his sharklike features, especially kids.
Squinting his eyes Naruto started to rub his chin while taking a thinking pose, suddenly he looked like he had gotten a epiphany.
"Oh! And you got a cool looking swordish thingy!" he exclaimed pointing dramatically at Samehada
Facefaulting Kisame, pushed himself up from the ground "What the hell kid?!?! Can't you see I'm blue?! And these?" he almost yelled as he pointed at his 'gill like marks' and razor sharp teeth.
Amazed Naruto's eyes widened "THATS SO FREAKING AWESOME" he yelled as he looked upon Kisame with even more awe.
'what the hell is wrong with this kid´ Kisame thought while examining the loud brat in front of him, blond hair, eerie blue eyes and whisker marks `wait, whisker marks?´ looking closer he could taste the taint in the kid's chakra better and felt it coming out in small short bursts from his stomach area.
`whats wrong with this kids chakra?´ "oi brat, what are you doing out here? Its miles to the closest village"
The brat rubbed the back off his neck while giving a sheepish grin "uhm, I'm traveling! I'm going to see the world and eat all kinds of good food!" Raising a eyebrow Kisame looked at him and gave him a disbelieving look. "You are telling me your out here on your own without any parents or guardians...How old are you chibi?"
Looking mortally offended "Im not a chibi!" Naruto snapped back "and I'm six" he said proudly holding up seven fingers "and I don't have any parents or guardians, no one wanted me anyway" the last part was said so softly that Kisame had to strain his ears to hear it.
These words gave Kisame flash backs from his own youth, as his father hid him away in the clan's basement, to keep the 'embarrassment' away from the 'normal' people and keep him in the dark where 'freaks' like him where supposed to stay.
Suddenly growling from both of their stomach's stopped all thoughts as they both smelled the delicious aroma from the rabbit and their mouths watered. "uhm, blue-man think you could share some with me?" Naruto said with wide opened eyes and a well practiced pout, looking completely adorable. 'Poor child, no parents, walking around in the wild and so cute--- NO BAD KISAME, you are a S-class nuke-nin, this is YOUR dinner, not some little brat, no matter how adorable and´ is internal rant was cut short as Naruto's lips quivered and water started to gather in his eyes. "Thats okay, blue-man I'll just go I guess, as you said it was miles to the next village and a child like me would probably die on the way but don't worry, I'll be fine."
Kisame's dark little heart was breaking while looking at this sweet child. `god damnit, when did I get so weak?!´
sighing he gave a mournful look at his rabbit and broke it in half and gave some to Naruto who brightened instantly and started to dig inn.
"And my name isn't Blue-man you little chibi, its Hoshigaki Kisame"
Looking up from his meal Naruto gave a beaming smile "My name's Uzumaki Naruto, lets be friends!" he said while Kisame gave a small grin, what could he say, the chibi's smiles was infectious.
"Well, I'll let you hitch a ride with me until we get to the next village, then you can go bother someone else." Kisame said as he got up and walked over to his sleeping bag. "we'll go early tomorrow morning so get some sleep chibi." he said while lying down and closing his eyes, he heard some shuffling of feet and a few minutes later he heard the shallow breathing of sleep from his temporarily travel companion.
Hearing the child shivering as a gust of cold wind rushed through the clearing he sighed as he rose from his sleeping bag and walked over to the sleeping child.
Looking down on the sleeping Naruto he couldn't understand how no one wanted him, he looked completely normal except the whisker marks which wasn't so bad comparing to some of the people he had meet during his travels, something inside off him had connected to this child, he couldn't understand how or for what reason, so he gave another soft sigh as he draped his sleeping bag over the sleeping form of Naruto and walked back to his spot and laid back down. `How could I connect to some annoying chibi with just sharing a meal and talking with him, its not normal! Maybe its the taint in his chakra, freaks stick together don't they?´ he thought with a chuckle as he finally fell asleep.
Should I continue with this or does it suck so bad that you want to stab me with a fork and gouge my eyeballs out?
review pretty please.
