Chapter II : Answers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto gave out a few blinks and thought of what Kisame said, once he thought about it, he felt as if he really did not know what good or evil is. He thought hard about it and nothing came to his mind. Kisame just grimaced and pushed the kid making Naruto fall to the ground. "Pathetic…" he muttered under his breath.
"Hey! What the hell was that for?" Naruto exclaimed angered by what Kisame did to him as he struggled to break free just to squeeze the life out of the demon shark. Like before, it was useless. Naruto began to think of every curse that he knew of as he looked at Kisame.
Kisame was amused of what the blonde was doing, it reminded him so much of someone. No, now's not the time to think about it, he thought to himself when suddenly he gave out a yawn. Expected, with all those sleepless nights trying to make sure he would get the container of the Kyuubi. Though this is not the place to spend the night, Hatake Kakashi must be searching for Naruto and will be most likely to find him being the skilled ninja he is. Though Kisame does not mind if he encounters the man who killed Zabuza, it might be even interesting for him, being Zabuza was also the member of the 'Seven Swordsmen of the Mist'. He had to avoid unnecessary fighting though; he might even lose Naruto if he was careless. The blue-skinned ninja then grabbed the enraged kitsune and carried him with one arm, continuing with his travel farther to the east.
As every step was done, he started to calm down, Naruto then became silent in the end. Still thinking about what Kisame meant with those words he had said before. Naruto just stared at the ground; he could not help but think about it. Until he decided to ask the older man instead, "What is good and evil anyway?" he asked, looking up with his clear, blue, innocent eyes. "You know, by the time you said those words, I couldn't answer it anymore."
"What is good and evil?" Kisame continued; it was a very long time since he managed to talk like this and I mean a long time since he could not answer Itachi in this sort of way for the Uchiha needed something straight to the point. "Everyone is a mixture of both and to tell you the truth, the two have no definition."
This puzzled Naruto, Kisame just said that everyone is a mixture of both and suddenly he says that they have no definition. He just could not understand it. What Kisame said was deep though, only that… it did not make sense to him at all. "Hey, is this the way to the Akatsuki base?" Naruto said nervously, remembering where Kisame is heading to with him.
Kisame just looked straightforward into the direction where he was heading to, "Mind your own business kid." He said as he went farther and farther into the east. Naruto was not sure if it was really the Akatsuki base since he had no idea where it was hidden in the first place. Until they reached a cliff and on the bottom was a dockyard, having every kind of ships waiting for goods and passengers, Kisame then dropped the boy to the ground. "Do you know any jutsus that could disguise you?" Kisame said, taking off his Akatsuki cloak.
"N-nani?"

A man with midnight blue hair, white gold eyes, wearing a Kirigakure Jounin jacket and a large sword at his back came walking towards a booth where the tickets and room reservations for the ships were sold. Kisame had to disguise himself as a normal Jounin from Kirigakure, registered in the Bingo book so he was famous and bounty hunters would love to get their hands on him, though he would kick their ass anytime he wanted, still, gotta avoid carelessness. He gave out a sigh and got two tickets and one room but we are just wondering. Where is Naruto?
"Whoa check her out!" yelled a man in the area, making Kisame turn around as he placed his payment on the table. A woman with long blonde hair, beautiful azure eyes, wearing a white kimono draped with elegantly pink cherry blossoms. The obi tied to her waist accented her body form, making her look more alluring. Her hair decorated with ornaments that sounded like chimes as if signaling the people to welcome her entrance. She walked silent towards the now disguised Hoshigaki Kisame and looked at him in the eyes, even making a certain member of the Akatsuki blush in her presence and look away trying to hide his face while cursing.
'It is that brat all right… why did he have to overdo it?' Kisame thought to himself, desperately hiding his blushing face as he took the tickets and room number. Oh, he just wished that Naruto did not have to go that far in disguising himself. Oh fuck it… he cannot help it, Naruto had to use a jutsu to make him look like some hot sexy woman!
Unknown to him, Naruto or should I say… Naruko was already behind and tapped him on his shoulder. "Sakana-kun, we should be going now." She said in an, oh so assuring voice that men could just not get enough of. Kisame reminded himself to kick Naruto's ass later on.
When he was about to leave with the room number and tickets, all of a sudden, the man in charge laughed, "One room eh?" he said, in a way that people a few meters away could understand and Kisame reminded himself once again to shave this guy's head off if he gets the chance to.

As Naruko entered the room Kisame locked the door behind him and gave a direct kick on Naruko's butt making her slam to the wall just right in front of her making her poof into smoke and turn back into a kid. Naruto rubbed his bottom as he landed on the ground, he was untied now but he still could not escape after the threats Kisame said to him. "Fucktard…" Naruto muttered under his breath. "What the fuck was that for huh?"
"I ask for a disguise not a sex change, bastard!" Kisame exclaimed as a puddle formed right below him due to the cancellation of the jutsu he used to disguise himself. "And what's with calling me a fish?" As you all would now, Sakana means fish. Naruto twitched at what Kisame called him.
The blonde then stood up and stomped his foot forward, "What the fuck did you just call me retard?" he yelled back even if he did know that he was in no position to curse an Akatsuki member like that. Sometimes he could not control his emotions.
"Anything wrong with that shittard?"
"Dumbtard!"
"Blondetard!"
Moreover, so their cursing with the word 'tard' in the end went on for a complete hour until they ran out of words in their vocabulary that could go with 'tard'. Oh, such is the life of these two.
"Sharktard!"
"Foxtard!"
"Pedotard!"
"Homotard!"
Silence…
There as I said, they ran out of words. They thought about more but could not think of a single word that they have not used. Stumped, they decided to end their little argument by looking away from each other. Kisame totally forgetting that he was arguing with a little kid who he could just kick on the butt anytime he wanted and Naruto totally forgetting that he was arguing with a tall man that could kick him on the ass anytime.
When suddenly Naruto broke the silence, "When are we going to get there?" he asked not sure of what will happen to him in the near future. Talk about a sudden change of mood.
"Judging by the speed of the boat and the time wasted here, only half an hour or so." Kisame said with his eyes lazily looking towards the window. "Hey kid," Kisame called, attracting Naruto's attention. "I heard that Sasuke left Konoha."
Just thinking about that and his current captured state made Naruto look down. He could not keep his promise to Sakura anymore; he would not be able to bring back Sasuke. Naruto was disappointed himself, letting himself get captured so easily. What kind of ninja was he?
Kisame noticed the sad look on Naruto's face making him smirk as he sat down on a chair. "Hey kid, you know what's more painful than losing someone you love?" Kisame asked the boy, making Naruto who was still looking down shake his head slowly, thinking that it is impossible to find something even more painful than that. "Knowing that, you didn't even do anything about it." Kisame sighed as he leaned on his chair and looked up.
Naruto then looked at him and gave out a few blinks, on those words that Kisame said to him. He did do something to stop Sasuke from leaving Konoha. From he just heard from the older man in front of him, he must have lost someone, very much dear to him. Naruto scratched his head in thought or maybe he just knows these things… probably greeting cards… who knows? When suddenly Naruto noticed something, what are greeting cards?

Time alone could not heal sins… but only time could heal the wounds of losing loved ones… eventually you cannot help but sometimes get scars… ironic isn't it? Next Chapter, Chapter 3: Sins.
As you could see in this fic, I'm exploring different genres… so this sort of… words in Italic above… doesn't really say what genre I'm placing next chapter so it's unexpected. Anyway, hoped you like my fic!
