Brothers

Ch 1

Itachi walked by his partner Kisame. He found that he liked the man; which was odd because he was a criminal, a very bad one as a matter of fact. Of course Itachi had no right what so ever to speak ill of someone. He was the worst kind of person. He had killed his entire family; filled his own brother with hate, all for the sake of peace. He would have to see his sweet mother's face every day of his life, every moment his heart consumed by guilt.

He was good at what he did. He was a little surprised at that. But, after what he'd done the things he did now seemed mild. He had been in this organization for two years now. Kisame had been with him for a year of that time. They respected each other and Kisame had a kind of honor; he never snuck around if he came at an enemy it was straight forward. He was ruthless but, he was strangely kind. Itachi had seen him attack everything with ferocity but, he had seen him avoid innocents to his own detriment.

As far as this went Itachi was satisfied with his lot. He had chosen it how could he complain. So he played the part of villain with all he had. Soon it would be time to gather the elements to implement Madara's plan. He thought this was infantile but, he just did his job.

They walked along a path headed on another bounty run for money. They were supposed to find a man that was said to have great power and had really put a dent into the opposing forces from the grass so they had a hefty price on his head.

He was lost in his own thoughts when he heard a scuffle up ahead. He leapt and went to see what it was. Kisame frowned at his partner. "What are you rushing off for we aren't in that much of a hurry?" He sighed and followed. Itachi had always been a little odd.

Itachi landed on a cliff overlooking the trail. He had thought it was a fight and they perhaps could catch someone else to take into the collection house but, this wasn't a fight it was an assault. He frowned. A small woman very young, she couldn't be any older than him. She was fighting five attackers and, though she was fighting with a Kunai, she was not a ninja. Her attacks were clumsy but, she seemed to hold her own. She seemed to anticipate their movements. She had been wounded several times at least once severely; her ability to be on her feet at this point was a testament to her mettle.

She sliced a man's face enraging him. Itachi was already considering stepping in but, as he saw the man's face and realized what he intended to do he knew he couldn't let it happen. The men had her and the one she had cut was stalking forward and grabbing her legs. Itachi landed behind her silently. He slit the first man's throat then, swung around her lodging a shuriken in the temple of another. While a Kunai slid through the eye of the next. The last the one she had cut was the only one to have a chance to see him at all just as his life was snuffed out. It was over in seconds, never a sound but, the soft thud of the bodies landing on the packed earth.

She had closed her eyes tightly afraid of what was coming. She opened them now hesitantly. She saw him a meter away and froze. Their eyes met and he knew his would be red and frightening. "Are you alright?"

She watched him and frowned. "You killed them." At that moment Kisame landed beside him.

"What in the world made you…?" He looked around. "Okay so what happened here?" She looked at him and her eyes widened.

"You're…" She backed up which put her in the middle of a body. She fell and Itachi had to grab her before she landed in the bloody corpse he was certain she was already going into shock she had lost a lot of blood one of her wounds looked very deep and possibly vital it looked like her liver the blood was very dark. "Kisame, a mist swordsman." She was shaking and she looked at Itachi and shook harder because he was holding her up.

"He will not harm you we need to see to your wounds you are hurt."

Kisame looked at his partner in shock. "We're going to what?"

She looked at her self and saw the blood. She met his eyes again and her teeth chattered, a definite sign of shock and fear. Suddenly she went limp and her eyes fluttering shut. "Well she passed out what now hero?" Kisame asked sarcastically.

"There is a cave near here with a hot spring close by we need to tend her wounds." He leapt away.

"We?" Kisame just sighed and followed after him.

He unrolled a blanket and laid it out placing her gently on the ground. He looked at Kisame. "Could you get me some water?" Kisame just raised his brows.

"Alright." He just used his chakra too pull the water from the spring and carving a bowl from the stone then dumped the water. "Here you go." Kisame just shook his head and sat down in the cave entrance.

Itachi cut her dress away covering her with his cloak and looked at her wounds, he was right, it was her liver. He sighed. It would be very iffy. He pulled on his chakra. His medical Ninjutsu was very rudimentary it was just something you learned the basics of in the black ops training. But, it might work to keep an infection away he would just have to stitch the wound. It took a while there were six stab wounds but only one was in a vital spot. The rest were just muscle tears.

He sighed as he finished wrapping her bandages and laid her down covering her with his cloak. He frowned and walked to the mouth of the cave to sit with his partner. "Will she be alright?"

"I don't know I've done all I can." Kisame laughed softly.

"You are the oddest man I've ever known." Itachi sighed. "Why did you save her?"

"They were going to rape her until she died, you don't think that's okay do you?" Kisame frowned.

"No of course not, I'm a killer but, I don't sink that low."

"Then why ask me that? We are what we are but, I couldn't leave her there to bleed to death." He looked back at her, hearing her breathing change as she woke.

"What are you going to do with her now?" Itachi hadn't thought that far ahead. He had been worried about her life.

"I'll get her well enough to go on about her business then we'll part ways. That simple. surely she has a family to return to." Kisame nodded.

"Well alright but, we are suppose to be heading to that bounty." Itachi nodded.

"I know; meet me at my home in a month and we will leave from there. I know you won't want to stay here with me." Kisame smiled.

"Playing nurse maid isn't really my thing. No, if you are going to do this I think I'll go out on my own for a while." Itachi nodded. Kisame stood and looked at the girl that had shown him something in his cold partner he didn't know existed. "She is a pretty thing isn't she? It would have been a shame." Itachi just watched him leave.

He looked back at the girl and shook his head, he must be out of his mind. He stood and headed slowly to her. She had, been through an awful lot she must be frightened.

She heard him coming. She justg closed her eyes tightly she wasn't ready for this and since her sight had failed her all day today she was really feeling vulnerable. He sat down on a rock beside her and his lip turned up just a bit. Not quite a smile but, almost. "It's no use you're a terrible actress I know you're awake."

She sighed sadly and opened her eyes. She looked in his face and she almost gasped. She had been so frightened earlier she had thought she was seeing things. But, he really was that handsome. His eyes weren't the frightening red with the odd pattern anymore they were dark almost black. His hair was black as well though not as black as hers. It was sort of long too, tied with at the base of his collar. His eyes were soft. She just couldn't imagine him being a criminal. She could see the mark through his head band though the mark that said he was a rogue ninja that had broken away from the Leaf village. If her vision was working she would already know all about him. She frowned.

"Are you alright? Is the pain very bad?" She shook her head. "Are you thirsty?" She was, she felt like there was sand in her mouth. She nodded. He reached out to help her sit up but, she cringed. He watched her and moved very slowly as if trying to soothe a frightened animal. "I will not harm you. But, I don't want you to reopen your wounds you must be careful."

She sighed and, relaxed, he helped her sit up and she drank the water he offered. Then he laid her back down. She just watched him. "Are you going to play mute or will you speak to me?" He asked nonchalantly and met her eyes.

"I guess I'm just frustrated." She answered. Her voice sounded hoarse.

"About what? Getting injured you are not a ninja and even then fighting off five attackers that were would have been difficult." She frowned.

"That's not what I meant and, it didn't seem to bother you. I never even heard you." He looked away and she narrowed her gaze. "You're not just a missing nin are you? Your something else."

"You don't want to know what I am." He met her eyes. "But, I won't harm you. I will stay here and help you until you can leave on your own to family or friends that can help you recover the rest of the way." She just nodded.

"Okay but, I'm still bothered by something." He raised his brows.

"What?" He looked guarded.

"I don't even know your name. I know who Kisame is I'm from the mist. We all know him." She looked at him intently. "I can't see anything about you at all."

His head went up and he watched her carefully. "Why would you expect to know anything about me?"

"I can see the future at least when it has to do with me and I never saw you coming. In fact I haven't been able to see anything since I woke up this morning. I woke up and set out on my next job and I couldn't see anything. I made the mistake of thinking that meant there was nothing to see. Man was I wrong. I could only see a moment or two ahead when the men attacked." He looked thoughtful.

"I see that's how you anticipated their moves." She nodded.

"Usually I would have seen them coming around the bend a long way off and could have avoided the conflict. I try to avoid being alone with men at all cost." She looked around. "Things like this don't usually turn out so well for me."

"I'm not going to hurt you, you don't have any reason to fear me." She raised a brow.

"I believe you I don't really understand it but, I do. I just wish I could see something a name or something. Usually I really would already know all about you." He looked away again.

"Perhaps it's for the best. I don't want to harm you." She frowned.

"I thought you said you wouldn't." His eyes met hers again. "Ah but, if I knew too much. Would you kill me?"

He never wavered. "Yes. But, you wouldn't know I wouldn't be cruel."

She closed her eyes and laughed sourly. "Dead is dead. Geez I can't believe this." She opened her eyes. "Can, I at least know your name?"

"Itachi…Itachi Uchiha." She nodded.

"Thank you." She tried to sit up and hissed with the pain. He gently pushed her back down.

"You must rest. You were severely injured. You are lucky to be alive." She slid a hand gently down her side to where the pain was worst. She felt the bandages and she could even feel the stitches pulling a little.

"You stitched my wounds and bandaged me." He watched her face. "Why would you do that?"

"I told you I don't wish to harm you." He stood. She just got more and more frustrated. How could he be a criminal and be so kind to her.

"I don't understand you at all." He watched her face.

"Get some sleep." She frowned.

"I really wish I could see." His eyes spun and she gasped. He touched her forehead. She felt her lids get very heavy and she suddenly needed to sleep. He watched her fall into slumber and was very glad for her lack of vision he really didn't want to hurt her.

She slept for two days and on the third day he was very worried because she was burning up. She had a fever. She had gotten an infection anyway. He needed a medical ninja. How was he going to save her? For some reason he just needed to save her it was a priority. He just had to. He placed a cool rag on her brow and stood. He had to go to the village. He pulled on his hat and left. He went to the village. It wasn't far. He wondered if it was her village. They were close to the Leaf no she said she was originally from the mist. He hated going into places like this because they knew him sometimes. It had been more than several years but, the Uchiha were well known here. He covered her with a blanket and took his cloak.

He walked into the village the wide hat pulled low over his face only his eyes were visible which didn't help either anywhere besides his home or the cave any where he knew he could let his guard down he could let his eyes fall dark here he had to use his sharingan or have his vision impaired. His eyes were failing quickly. It was fitting he supposed.

He moved into the village quietly to the area where the medical corps would be. He should use genjutsu. It was the most efficient way. "Can I help you young man?" He looked at the elderly woman that stood by.

"I need a medical ninja I have a girl that has been injured I did all I can but she now has a fever." She watched him and his eyes and hers narrowed.

"Very well, take me to her." He didn't argue he just took her. They moved back to the cave and she walked to the girl removing the blanket. "Who is this girl to you?"

"She was attacked on the highway. I couldn't let the men do what they wanted so I stopped them but she had already been injured." She never said a word just harrumphed. He had a feeling she knew exactly who he was.

She started her work and the girl winced. He frowned. "Don't worry that is the healing. I can not heal it without it hurting and all I can do is take the infection away she will still have to heal on her own. I am old and my power is not what it used to be."

He frowned. "Then why didn't you just point me to a younger more powerful ninja?"

She met his eyes and hers were cold. "Do you think I would allow one of my ninja to go anywhere with you Itachi Uchiha. I know who you are. I know what you did. I came because I am old and nonessential and you could have been telling the truth which it looks like you were. But, I could not let one of my own come here with you incase you were simply luring someone away."

He sighed. "Very well. I will leave and you can take her to the village. You could care for her."

"We do not want anyone associated with you in our village."

"But, she's not she was just a girl that was in the wrong place at the wrong time." She nodded.

"Maybe but, you can not blame me for not believing you."

"No." He knew she was right he had chosen this life. He must live with it. He just hated it that this innocent woman would have to pay for it as well.

"Will you tell them she's here?" She shook her head.

"No, I don't know why you committed the atrocity you did but, I won't be a part of this innocent girl being harmed because of something you did. Just get her well enough to move and leave this place." He looked at the ground.

"If you believe she is innocent then why not help her?"

"Because I am old and foolish and, I would like to believe that you have a heart but, I will not bet the safety of my village on it." She finished and stood. "Now the infection is gone. Just care for her. I will come up here in a few weeks don't be here when I arrive."

"What's to stop me from killing you or simply making you forget ever meeting me?" He asked her mildly. "Then I wouldn't have to move her until she was fully recovered."

She laughed harshly. "A man who is so worried about a stranger is not likely to kill and old woman who only cares about her people."

He watched her eyes intently then sighed. "No I suppose not."

"Goodbye Itachi Uchiha of village hidden in the leaves." He nodded and watched her walk away. He was used to the hatred, the disgust but, this girl shouldn't have to deal with that. Perhaps it would have been better to leave her there she could have been found by one of the villagers then she would have been helped. Or she would have died out there. There was no right answer. It didn't matter now he had made his decision and it was done. He had taken the responsibility for this woman and he would do his best.

He cared for her for three more days waiting for her to wake. He hadn't slept it had been touch and go. He had been very worried. He changed the rag on her forehead her fever was gone but, she had started bleeding again. He laid his head back.

At first he thought he was dreaming. "Itachi." He frowned. The whisper was soft like a caress. "Itachi." His eyes opened and he looked into her beautiful face. His eyesight wasn't great but, he could see her beauty.

She watched him her head felt so heavy even her hands felt heavy. It was like she weighed a thousand pounds. He was quiet. His eyes closed. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen. His sad face was relaxed in sleep. She sighed his name. He had stayed with her this whole time? How long had she been here like this?

When she whispered his name again he opened his weary eyes and they were already spinning and changing. He leaned up and looked at her and he smiled. Oh he was beautiful when he smiled. She smiled tiredly back at him. "Hey sleepy. How are you feeling?"

"Like I'm too heavy and I'm so thirsty," She reddened. "And, I really need to pee." She blushed all the way to her toes and he laughed.

"Well I think we can take care of that." He stood up and leaned down pulling her into his arms. She gasped and closed her eyes. She tried not to shake. "Are you still afraid I'll hurt you?"

"No." She said her eyes closed tightly.

"Liar." He said softly. "I won't I have done many things in my life that I regret but, I have never done that." She opened her eyes and looked at him. "Now I'm going to take you to a spring I'm sure you want to bathe too." She nodded gratefully. They headed down the hill and she had to close her eyes again because his break neck pace scared her to death. She opened her eyes again once he had safely come to a stop. She looked at him and hoped she would see something. She frowned. He set her on her feet. "Still frustrated."

"Yes but, I think you're happy about it." He smiled and shrugged. "I suppose you'd feel guilty if you had to kill me after taking care of me."

"Yes I would."

"You'd do it though wouldn't you?" He just looked her in the eye. "I thought so." She sighed. "Well I don't know anything so you're safe for now. Or I am, whatever."

"I told you, you would never know. I wouldn't hurt you." She barked out a laugh as she sat slowly beside the water. "And, I told you dead is dead. Whether it hurts or not."

She could hear him moving away. "That is not at all the case. Death can be an instant release or an endless agony."

"Some how that doesn't make me feel better." She mumbled and thought she heard him laugh. She went and took care of her first need then she moved back to the spring and saw a water bottle and sighed happily. "Thank you." She didn't get a response but she knew he was out there somewhere giving her as much privacy as he could. "What were you doing when you saw me?"

"That would be the part where you knew too much." He sounded amused.

"I was going to a Lord's house to pick a husband for his daughter. You not only saved my life you saved me from spending a month interviewing idiots. I think I'd rather be stabbed." He laughed. "I think this is going to be an interesting time in my life. I can't believe that I'm sitting here bathing with a man that I know is a criminal and I don't feel afraid."

He sat in the tree and listened to her soft voice. He liked it. It had been a long time since he had listened to a woman's voice. Konan didn't really count because she was so sad. Listening to her was like listening to his own sorrow filled heart. "Why are you so afraid of men? Have you been…hurt…maybe that's too personal?"

"No, I don't mind telling you." She let herself float. If there was a man on earth that she could tell this to he was it, she could see the secrets he already kept floating in his eyes whether she knew what they were or not. For some reason she knew he would understand. "I was a very small girl when my parents died. I am not a ninja but they were. My parents were from the mist and they fought in the coup that Zabuza started. They died protecting the Mizukage. I was orphaned and had to live with relatives but, after that happened everything in the mist was in an upheaval. So my relatives became too poor to care for me. A Lord offered to take me in if I would work for him. My relatives didn't know what he wanted. I don't think they ever would have accepted." She sighed. "But, he saw me as something to use later when I was older. A concubine I guess. I saw it, saw what he wanted, saw what he would do to me. So as I got older I waited and when I knew it was coming I ran away.

"Everywhere I went it was like that I got a job as a waitress and they tried to corner me in an alley. I don't really know what it is. I know that I'm pretty but, I must look like prey to them. Like a helpless easy meal. I don't really understand it." She dunked her head and washed her hair. When she came back up she sighed. "It just seems to be my lot in life. Maybe when I get old and wrinkly they'll leave me alone." She stood and stepped slowly out of the water. There were new clothes lying where her tattered robes had been. She shook her head slowly and smiled. The big fluffy towel looked new. When she was dressed she turned and looked at him. He stood several meters away. "I saw my wounds you really did save my life."

He just picked her up this time she didn't worry. She was too tired. "I'm so tired all the sudden."

"You are still very weak. You will need a lot of rest before you really feel better." She let her head fall to his chest.

"Okay… Itachi?"

"What?"

"Thank you. I know you have probably wished you would have just left me there but, I'm glad you didn't" He sighed.

"I haven't wished that at least not how you believe."

"I'm glad I met you. You're a nice man."

"No I'm not." He said the words softly. She just let herself drift by the time they were back at the cave she was sleeping soundly. He laid out fresh blankets and set her down gently. "If you only knew you would run screaming." He watched her sweet face. She was too good to even speak to him.

After a week she started getting better. But, after a month she was still as weak as a kitten and the worst wound wasn't healing very quickly at all. He looked at her and sighed. "You are not better."

"It's okay I know you have to go. I can fend for myself. Itachi you have already done more than you had to." He sighed.

"I can't do that. Where do you live I can take you there?"

She smiled. "I don't really live anywhere."

"What am I going to do with you?"

"I'll go to the village it's not far." He frowned.

"You can't, they saw you with me. I had to get you help when you had a fever. They know I was here with you they wouldn't help you. I'm sorry." She cocked her head and looked at him.

"What did you do? How could you be so hated?" He looked so sad she almost cried.

"I told you before, you don't want to know what I am." He looked out the cave mouth. "I don't have any choice. Wait here I'll return." She watched him leave and his face bothered her. Was this the end would he sneak up on her and kill her. To put her out his misery. She had no doubt he could do it. And, if he decided to do it, it would be unavoidable.

She sighed and just waited there was no point in worrying over something she couldn't stop. She could try to get away but, she wouldn't get far.

He walked back in an hour later and she smiled then she saw he wasn't alone and she frowned and felt her fear rising. "So this is her. You saved her. Why, she is pretty?"

"Even you should understand why." This man wore a mask and he shrugged.

"Yes I suppose. So what do you want from me?"

"Take her to my home she is much too weak to travel that far and I don't have the time to carry her." He looked at Itachi and she could see his eye was the same as Itachi's But, his eye was evil.

"Very well but no more favors." Itachi's eyes narrowed.

"I owe you nothing." He stepped towards Madara and he held up a hand.

"Alright don't set me on fire." They wore the same cloak that Kisame had worn so this man was in the same organization as Itachi. He reached for her but, she cringed away from him. Itachi knelt down to her. "He is going to take you to my home, come you can't travel there it's too far and he can take you there in an instant." He helped her stand. She shivered and leaned into Itachi. "Just close your eyes." She did and buried her hands in his cloak. Madara frowned. He used his eye and in an instant they stood in front of his home. "You can open them now." She felt Madara's hand leave her and she shivered again.

"Don't get attached to her women are not for men like us." Itachi just stared at him and he was gone.

She looked around and sighed. "Oh its beautiful."

"It's old and run down…now what am I going to do with you?" She frowned.

"I hate being a burden." He just shrugged.

"You didn't ask to be attacked and you didn't ask for my help." He pulled her up into his arms and carried her into the house. "Kisame will be here by tomorrow and I will have to leave. I'll make sure the house is stocked with everything you need."

"I don't have any money." She looked at the ground as he carried her into the house.

"I have a lot and no one to spend it on. Don't worry." She looked in his eyes.

"Are you really that alone?"

"Why does it look like that bothers you?" He watched her face.

"It does bother me. That man in the mask is related to you isn't he?" He nodded. "He's evil. He scares me. I can feel it when he touched me it made me sick."

"And, yet my touch doesn't bother you." She smiled.

"That's because you aren't evil." He watched her and sighed.

"Yes I am, in the worst way. But, I still won't hurt you." He set her on her feet.

"Unless I see a vision of your evil agenda right." She smiled sarcastically.

"Right." He smiled a little. He couldn't seem to help it. She was so absurd. Making jokes about her possible demise. He just watched her as she looked around the house in wonder. "It's huge."

"It was a mansion that belonged to an ancestor of mine it's run down but, the lights and the water works It's cold in the winter but, it's pretty cool in the summer." He sighed as they wandered. He opened a door. "You can stay in here…I have to go and get supplies."

He was gone and she just stood there a while then she decided to wander around and see what she could find. The house was huge. It really was a mansion it was round and had three levels. Each level opened onto a garden that circled the place it was wonderful. She had always loved flowers and growing things. This place had thousands of flowers they were just overgrown. She smiled.

He returned that evening late and she had found enough in the garden and had even snared a rabbit. So when he walked in he smelled food. He frowned.

He walked into the kitchen and she was washing dishes he didn't even know existed. "What is all this?"

"Well it looks like dinner but, maybe not." She smiled and raised a brow. "Maybe its an illusion like me getting sleepy every time I get curious about you." He looked at her and smiled.

She filled a bowl. "What it is, is rabbit stew because that was what I caught."

"You are going to reopen your wound." He frowned.

"I didn't run it down. I set a trap. Living alone and an orphan you learn things like that." She shrugged.

He watched her and then picked up the bowl. "Thank you." He wandered away and she sighed. Well that went well. She had hoped maybe he would open up a little no such luck. She ate and smiled. He had fed them all this time and it had been edible but she was definitely a better cook…

He sat in the parlor and looked at the bowl. It smelled like heaven. He took a bite and sighed. She was a really good cook especially since there wasn't anything here to cook. She must have found things growing outside. He could taste the wild herbs. If he wasn't careful he could grow attached to her. He hated Madara but he was right women were the last thing a man like him needed. He already knew the path his life was on and a woman was not part of it.

And, he didn't think he could be with anyone anyway how wrong would that be he had…well, he just didn't have any right to anything like that. He resolved himself to that thought and ate the lovely food. He took the bowl down and found her asleep her head on the table where she had fallen. She had over done it. He sighed and pulled her into his arms.

He carried her to the room he had set for her and laid her in bed. She mumbled but didn't wake.

He woke the next morning to a yelp and lurched out of the chair he had been in. He got down the stairs and found her in the kitchen and she was holding her side and laughing. Kisame was in the doorway looking at her his eyebrows raised. Itachi stepped in and looked at them both. "Well I thought I scared her but, now she's laughing."

"I was scared. I'm not used to being surprised." She sighed and gasped for air.

"Okay." He looked at Itachi and he sighed.

"Just go with him while I finish breakfast." Kisame looked at her and frowned. He wasn't used to women telling him what to do. He wasn't really used to anyone doing that but especially not tiny women. Itachi walked out and he followed.

"I thought you were going to send her home when she was better."

"She's not better. She almost died. She got a terrible fever and I had to get someone from the village to help." Kisame's eyes widened.

"You are going to great lengths to save this girl."

"Don't make anything of it." Kisame shrugged.

"She is an interesting creature. I don't think I've even been told to go away quite so well by anyone besides my mother." Itachi smiled.

"She is completely unaffected I know, it's odd isn't it? She meant what she said about not being surprised until the day she was injured she could see her own future." Kisame looked at him in surprise.

"Really then do we have to worry?"

"No she seems to be having a problem she finds it endlessly frustrating."

"She doesn't realize how dangerous we are does she?" Itachi looked out the window.

"She knows. I told her as much." He heard her coming. "She seems to not care. She is too pure a soul to comprehend what we are." She walked in smiling and set two heaping plates on the small table.

"Enjoy." She wandered away. Itachi followed her.

"You need to sleep." She closed her eyes.

"I'm not going to let you do that to me." He smiled at her.

"I don't need you to look at me and I wasn't using it anyway. But, you collapsed at the table last night you need to rest. Go and rest or I will tie you up and make you rest." She frowned.

"You would do that?" He just looked at her. "Oh fine." She wandered to her room and he heard the door shut. He shook his head and walked back into the parlor and sat down. Kisame was eating.

"This is wonderful. You know a housekeeper could be nice." He ate another bite.

"Very funny."

Kisame smiled. "Well it is good."

"I know. We're leaving in the morning." Kisame just watched him. He liked her. He never would have gone this far just out of duty at least he didn't think so it was hard to tell with Itachi since he wasn't supposed to care about anything. He had killed his entire family his own mother. Even Kisame couldn't do that. But, Kisame had a feeling there was more to the story than he knew but, he knew he wouldn't find out either.
