Kisame and Itachi
"Ever since we've discovered this new world, we've also discovered some… strange things."
"Like what?" I said, raising an eyebrow.
"I think you should find out for yourself. This will be your new mission. Both of yours."
"What are we to do," Itachi asked from my side.
"Bring in information. I will warn you, this world is nothing like ours and it's quite a… shock, to be in. Whatever you do, don't stand in the middle of the paths and you can only go into this world when I tell. You will stay there for approximately two to three days. You don't have to worry about your identities and do not, I repeat, do not use you abilities on the people. Kisame, I think it's best if you leave your sword behind."
I made a face, "really?"
"Yes really, their ninja aren't like us, but they are stronger. Not physically, but they can defeat you. Konan and I know this first hand."
"When do we go," I asked with a grunt.
"Now would be a good time. Here is the jutsu," Pein handed Itachi a scroll before dismissing us and we left to go to the room Pein told us to perform the jutsu in.
I found this task meaningless but since Pein demanded we go experience this 'world' for ourselves, there could be more to it.
"Please remind me why out of all of us you and I are going," I said sourly.
"Pein said we were the best team for the moment. Since I mange to keep you in line. As he had said to me, do you really think it would be best to send in Hidan and Kakuzu straight away?"
I smiled at that, "touché."
Itachi did what he had to, apparently only those with some type of Kekkei Gankai could do the jutsu without any hiccups so to speak.
A moment later the wall separated and in it's place was a black void. I stuck a hand in, it disappeared beyond the door.
"Well, on we go," I said with no enthusiasm whatsoever.
Itachi went in first, since it's best if it's one at a time, and I went in next. A sensation of dizziness came over me but it passed as quickly as it had come. I slowly opened my eyes to a hotel room. It looked nothing out of the ordinary from the ones in 'our world' so I just fell on a bed and looked at the beige ceiling.
Itachi threw a pillow at me, which I caught, before telling me to get up, "let's scope out the area."
I groaned slightly, "fine."
"Stop being a child," he scolded me while we exited the room. As we left down the hall there were signs up pointing in the direction we were going saying 'convention this way.'
"Did Pein explain to you what a convention is?"
"No, we'll have to figure that out ourselves. Pein said not to worry though, this world is one hundred percent safe as long as we don't use any jutsu."
Frowning I followed behind the Uchiha and as we followed the signs I was beginning to see very strangely dressed people. There were a lot of girls who looked as if they weren't wearing anything at all, not that I was complaining too much.
Suddenly, a tall girl ran up to us, all smiles, "Oh my god! Can I pretty please take your pictures? You two look so kawaii!" she screamed at us.
I was taken aback as well as Itachi, when another girl came up and gripped the first one's arm, "don't scare them Tess, sorry about that," she said before winking at Itachi and saying, "nice Itachi cosplay."
We were both completely confused but walked onwards anyway. Multiple girls came up to Itachi as we continued. Most taking pictures with him. I felt kind of left in the dust but at the same time I couldn't care less.
We passed a group of people who looked like the Kyuubi kid, and Sharingan Kakashi but Itachi held me back before I tried to fight.
"HELL no!" I heard a voice screech from my left. Turning my head I saw a girl with her arms crossed and scowling.
"Don't be mad you dumb bitch!" the other said jokingly.
"I'll be mad if I want! Don't insult my man!" she said defiantly.
I rolled my eyes and kept walking before I heard the other say, "dude he's like, a shark or something right? And he's TWO DIMENSIONAL!"
"Grr fuck you!" she yelled back, I turned my head to the side and laughed at her fuming expression.
"Ok fine!" the second girl said, throwing up her hands in defeat, "I'll buy you a smoothie and a new plushie. Do you forgive me?"
"The reason I need a new plushie is because you intentionally ran the other one over with the lawn mower," I hadn't realized I was standing still and listening to their argument until Itachi nudged me gently. I held up a hand telling him to wait a second.
"It was staring at me!"
"He's a HE! And he's a toy he doesn't blink so of course he stares!" she screamed back.
The second girl stuck a hand to her head in frustration, I noticed a crowd was beginning to form. I stepped a bit closer.
"Whatever I don't care, come let's just go get your plushie. He's not too popular so I'm sure there are tons."
The first girls face turned red I laughed a little, "wha- You! You did not just say that! Argh! If I had Samehada I'd totally shred you right now!"
I slightly shocked by that, I found it interesting she knew about my sword, and that she would use it on what looked to be her friend.
The other girl pouted, "please don't go psychopathic rage mode on me."
"I'm close to it! Stop making fun of Kisame and maybe you'll live to see tomorrow."
"I can't! There's a reason it's called making fun, it's too damn fun!"
I froze for a moment, it felt weird hearing someone defending me. Especially so fiercely.
"Just shut up and get me that smoothie…" with that the crowd began to scatter and I stood there stupidly before I felt Itachi tugging at my sleeve.
"Fine, let's get a picture with these two though! I saw them while we were arguing and they look dayum good."
I turned around and the first girl smiled at me, "awesome! Do you mind if we get a photo?" she asked sweetly.
"Sure," I blurted out, though most girls would've already snapped the shot by now.
"Haha you make a sweet looking Uchiha! You almost make me want to not hate them," she stated bluntly while said Uchiha's eye twitched ever-so-slightly.
The first girl slapped her friend lightly on the arm, "don't say that to him Dana! There's a reason he's dressed as Itachi! He obviously thinks he's cool or something, right?"
Itachi nodded stiffly.
"Ah whatever! Let's just get your photo with fish boy and emo," her face went red.
"Stop it!" the now named Dana rolled her eyes stood back. The other girl smiled brightly while Dana took the photo.
"Jeez think you could smile any brighter Trinity?"
"I was happy!" I heard as they walked away. Itachi elbowed me in the ribs lightly.
"Don't get distracted."
I nodded and we had gotten about three feet before Dana's voice came back to us saying, "hey you two staying at the hotel?"
Itachi turned and nodded, trying to look inconspicuous.
She smirked, "how about you and shark boy join us in the pool later? Trinity isn't going to get over your Kisame getup."
Trinity blushed before smiling awkwardly and saying, "it's a good cosplay…"
I could almost hear Itachi's inner thoughts as he was trying to figure out what to say and what to do, instead I just answered for the both of by saying, "sure."
"Cool!" she yelled back, "we'll be there around eight! Don't dress up if you can help it," she said with a smirk.
They both waved goodbye and I watched for a moment later before Itachi grabbed my shirt and pulled me down to his eye level, "what were you thinking? I was trying to come up with a way to respectfully decline."
I shrugged, "whatever. We do a couple of transformation jutsu and it'll be fine. You don't really have to change, just take off your cloak."
Itachi sighed, "fine. Tomorrow though, let me do the talking."
I laughed a little, "yes because you're the master of conversation."
When the day was over, we both realized we hadn't gotten too much information. Most of it was girls running around like idiots and swarming like bees around Itachi. When we reentered the room I fell on the bed again before Itachi once again threw a pillow at me.
I was on my stomach so I turned around and threw it back to him, "what now?"
"It's eight, we should get going so you don't miss your date," I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah you wish Itachi," we both redressed and I slung my towel over my shoulder. Before leaving, I changed my appearance so now I had even tan skin, no facial marks, and green eyes. My hair was brown and it felt weird seeing myself so different.
We followed the signs to the pool and looking inside I saw Trinity throwing a ball and Dana and Dana splashing water at her.
We entered and Dana recognized us, probably Itachi mostly, and waved us over.
"Damn boy you look hot without all that fricken paint on," she said with a smirk. Trinity came over and dunked her head underwater.
"I'd try to cover that up but I think your used to her bluntness by now."
I nodded and Itachi did as well, only it was barely noticeable.
Before I could react, Trinity splashed water onto my face and dived under the water. Dana came back up, gasping for air, before doing the same to Itachi and frantically trying to dash away. With a smile, I went after the two girls.
Catching Trinity and dunking her under the water, she came back up sputtering before splashing me back.
She looked over to Itachi, "isn't your friend going to get in?"
With a sly thought, I got out of the water quickly. Going behind the Uchiha and picking him up.
"Ki-," was all he had to say before I threw him in.
Everyone else in the room laughed when he came back up but I could tell he was fuming.
"Lighten up Itachi-san," I said when he got out. In reply, all I got was a death glare. Good thing looks couldn't kill, because the one he was giving me most certainly would've killed me twice over.
With a grin I jumped in again. Dana threw a ball at me and I caught it just before it hit me. Her mouth hung open in surprise, "damn you ninja!" she said, "nice reflexes."
A moment later a noise went off and I saw Trinity get out of the water, "what's she-" I started.
"Shh! Shut up she's on the phone."
Trinity answered the call and she was smiling for a moment before it slipped off her face, "yes I'm at the convention hon… Yes Dana is here… we're swimming… well it's just us. Well, actually there are two other guy that we had met earlier- no! What? What's wrong with you? No! You know what? I'm sick of you! I don't want to see your face again! FUCK YOU TOO!" she screamed into the phone before throwing it into her bag.
She started to dry herself on her towel, "Trinity?" her friend asked.
"Come on Dana. My now Ex is on his way down. I want to get out of here while I can. Sorry you guys! You two are awesome, could we maybe hang out around the convention tomorrow?"
"Yeah," I answered before Itachi could even comprehend what she had just asked. I could tell he was unamused though.
"Cool then!" I heard Dana said as she got out and wrapped her towel around herself.
As they left Trinity turned around and said, "sorry about the phone call! Trevor is just horrible."
Dana poked her head back in, "but hey, she's single now!" she said while looking pointedly at me. Trinity shoved her out the door despite her protests.
I stood up and grabbed my towel when they were out of eyesight, "I guess we can go too then."
Itachi looked at me with his glare and grabbed his towel as we made our way back to our room.
Halfway down the hall I heard a familiar name, "I'm taking you home now Trinity. I can't trust you not to cheat on me with any one of these guys!"
"No! I'm staying, I'm the one paying for this vacation now stop ruining it! You go home. And it's not cheating if I'm single!"
"Trinity! Fine if you feel that way then we're done!" an angry-looking male rounded the corner and nearly ran into me, "watch it!" he hissed at me.
Rolling my eyes, I walked on with Itachi a few feet away.
We entered the room and I laid down once more, this time no pillow was thrown at me.
"Tomorrow, we leave," Itachi said, loud enough for me to hear.
I rolled over and looked at him, "fine. Whatever."
He raised his eyebrow slightly, "really. We're going."
I shrugged, "ok I know," by the look on his face I could tell he was silently asking why I was so nonchalant about it, "look. I had fun and all today but come on, this isn't our world. It's strange and crazy yes, but not ours."
Itachi seemed satisfied with that answered and he left to go take a shower. I put my hands behind my head and looked at the ceiling in thought. I was starting to wonder if I'd miss those two. Trinity liked me, how strange. Well, I guess my character more so, since apparently I'm only two-dimensional to them.
.:!.:!:.!:.
A water bottle hit my head, waking me abruptly. I looked around for any enemies but was only met by Itachi's glaring eyes, "up," was his only instructions.
I stood and got ready, wearing my usual clothing. Itachi opened the door and walked out, waiting for me to fallow. I yawned and walked out slowly. Tiredly. I shut the door behind me and he immediately took off.
I wasn't surprised, he was as eager to get this strange mission done as I was.
Today was almost an exact repeat of yesterday. Girls buzzing around Itachi, ignoring me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Trinity and her friend talking to a couple of other people.
Without much thought, I walked up to the group, "hello."
Trinity jumped but once she saw who I was, smiled widely, "oh! Hey. It's you from yesterday."
One of the new girls in the group laughed, "whoa! Sweet cosplay."
"I agree, that paint is an amazing shade, how on Earth did you get it to match so perfectly? I've tried to find the correct paint shade but I couldn't do it so I just gave up after awhile."
"Oh shut up smarty pants," Dana complained loudly.
The girl made a face and stuck her tongue out at Dana who retaliated by flicking her in the head. Her glasses slipped down and she pushed them back up.
I stared at her for only a moment longer, I could tell she was dressed up as someone but I wasn't sure who. The person seemed familiar though. Round glasses, her hair was silver and in a short low ponytail.
"Trinity can we get ice cream after this?" a girl with a childish voice said, I laughed slightly since she reminded me of Tobi.
"Uh, sure Dess, but do you have to ask? You have your own money."
"I know but I wanted to make sure it was ok with you!" she said while giving Trinity a hug.
Suddenly a girl from the other side of the group snapped her fingers and said, "wait were you here yesterday with an Itachi dude?"
I nodded, "ha! Dude I totally saw you and stuff and I asked for a photo but Tracy pulled me away."
The one known as Tracy scratched the back of her head before saying, "I'm pretty sure you were scaring them Tess."
Someone tapped my shoulder and turning around I saw Itachi looking at me, "what?" I asked.
"We have to continue getting information," he said.
I leaned over and whispered to him so the others wouldn't hear me, "I think these girls might actually give us the information we need. I'm not just saying that either. One of them is dressed as that guy who works for Orochimaru and another is dressed as Konan."
Looking around him, Itachi noticed this two before sighing slightly, "alright we'll do it your way."
"AH!" one girl in the group squealed while pointing towards us, "are you doing yaoi skits?" she asked, voice full of excitement.
I gave her a look, "what the heck is yaoi?"
Her face fell slightly while Trinity pumped a fist into the air, "yeah! Death to KisaIta!"
I gave her a confused look before shaking my head, Dana then blurted out, "Yaoi is guy love!"
I smacked a hand to my face and Trinity said once more, "Kelly like's KisaIta. Which is Kisame Itachi pairings," I felt myself pale, "which must die!" she finished with a semi-angry face.
"No it must live!" Kelly exclaimed, "I love it! Besides, you love KakaIru! And you know how much I love my Kashi," she cooed out.
Everyone made a face, "Kakashi is old," Dana complained.
"But Trinity's sempai is older than Kakashi," Dess commented.
"I don't care," Trinity stated.
"And neither do I," Kelly said with a grunt.
"At least I don't like KakuHida!" Dana said with a gag.
"Hey don't knock it till you try it," the last unnamed girl said.
Dana stuck a finger in her mouth and pretended to gag again, "you have problems June."
June made a face, "whatever. I'm not judging you for liking SasoDei."
"Uh, anyone mind telling me what all those mean?" I said, interrupting their banter.
"KakuHida equals Kakuzu and Hidan," June said with a smile.
"SasoDei, Sasori and Deidara," Dana said while smirking at me.
"And KakaIru is Kakashi and Iruka," Trinity said with a normal face, "sorry, I know you're a guy and it's probably awkward listening to girls fangirl about guys kissing each other."
I must've made a face because she laughed.
"Anyway!" Dana exclaimed loudly, "with that done how about we all go out for lunch?"
Trinity smiled and everyone else nodded, Dana attempted to throw an arm around me but she gave up and grabbed Itachi instead, "you two are invited as well. What's say you?"
I looked to Itachi, letting him decide for once.
He looked back to me before saying, "alright."
Dana pumped a fist into the air, "sweet! Panda Express anyone? We are at an anime convention!"
Everyone nodded happily, "I call Trinity's car!" Dess shouted before breaking the circle and running off.
"Oh hell no!" she shouted before going after her friend. Itachi and I shared a look before following the rest of the group.
We walked out of the building, the fresh air smelling clean and it cleared my senses. The girls all forced their way into what I guessed was the car and Trinity made a face.
"Aw come on, it's my car and I have the keys! I can't even get in! How about I take Dess, Dana and maybe one of you guys?" she asked while looking at us. I didn't really want to be separated from Itachi, but we were all technically going to the same place.
"I'll go with too then," I said.
"I call shotgun!" Dana yelled while going up to the car.
Trinity pulled her out, "no you sit in the back. Let him sit in the passenger seat," Dana crossed her arms before making a face.
"June you mind taking the rest of the Looney toons?"
"We're not toons we're just looney!" Tess said from another car.
Itachi scowled at me before getting into the other car. I got into Trinity's and she started up something. The car came to life and I jumped slightly at the noise, "buckle up," she said. As she said that I noticed her reaching back and putting a strap around herself.
I did the same and the buckle clicked into place easily.
We started moving and I didn't know what to think, I don't know if Pein knew about cars or not but so far they were pretty cool.
"We need music!" Dess screamed while reaching forward and cranking up the volume to something.
A sound filled my ears and suddenly I heard multiple voices singing to the song, "And that's what makes you beautiful!"
I didn't know what to think so I just rolled my eyes and smiled.
After lunch, we came back to the hotel and Itachi came up to me as soon as he got out of the car, "we have to go back now."
I gave him a look, "I thought we were supposed to leave tonight?"
"No. There's a timer on the jutsu. If were not back in our world in eighteen minutes we'll be stuck here until Pein sends another person in after us."
"Uh, I'm confused. Did Pein tell you all that?" we started walking inside with the rest of the girls.
"Yes, he contacted me through my ring during lunch. There was a glitch that needs to be fixed."
I sighed before turned to everyone else, "well, we have to go. See you another time."
"Oh will I see you again?" Trinity said with an innocent smile.
I smiled back slightly, " I don't think so. We're leaving for good. Going back home and stuff," I answered truthfully.
Trinity's smile fell and Dana made a face before pushing towards me, "just hurry up and kiss him you idiot."
She blushed while running into my chest. She looked and up and gave me a quick kiss on the lips before running away. Her friends following suit. She turned and gave me a wave before disappearing into the crowd.
Itachi took hold of my wrist and dragged me back to the first room we had come to. He performed the jutsu and before I knew it, I was standing in a plain room, Pein looking at us expectantly.
"Did you get any necessary information?"
"Yes," Itachi answered immediately.
"Yeah," I said slowly.
Up next let's see what kind of trouble Hidan and Kakuzu get into!
