Yeah I'm not sure if I'll write anymore. It depends on you guys. If someone asks me to write more I probably will, if no one wants more then there won't be any.

That snake freak was finally gone. Itachi had spent all of his free time

trying to get rid of the older man, but to no avail. Today though, today

the man was finally gone, and for good too. Itachi had finally scared

Orochimaru off. The only bad part of today was that Orochimaru had

escaped. Sir Leader had Deidara and Sasori out looking for him, but Itachi

knew they'd never find him. That damn snake was too tricky to be caught so

easily.

Itachi was partner less. Which, to his great annoyance, meant no

missions. Sir Leader refused to send anyone out on their own. He said that

it was for their own protection, and that it was also easier to keep track

of them like that. Frankly Itachi didn't care. He wanted, no needed to get

out there and fight. He didn't care who he fought as long as it was soon.

The part of him that had stayed quiet during his time working for the

Akatsuki was back with avengeance, and it wasn't taking no for an answer.

It had been so long since he'd had to struggle to control himself. Between

the missions and occasionally striking out at his old partner, Orochimaru,

this violent part of him had been satisfied, but now with no enemies to

fight and no Orochimaru to threaten, he felt caged.

There weren't any other partner less members so the only way he would get

one is if either one of the members died or if someone new joined. He

seriously doubted any of the existing members would die soon, unless he

intervened that is, and new members were extremely rare. Hopefully his

lack of partner would cause Sir Leader to recruit a little more actively.

They were testing someone. Oh happy day. Itachi didn't care who it was he

just hoped they made it. He didn't care if they were the stupidest, most

annoying person on the planet, as long as they got him out of this base

and doing missions again. Besides he could always kill them off later and

say that an enemy had done it. After he killed a few hundred other ninjas

that is.

Itachi had never give much thought about what kind of person would make a

good fighting partner for him. He had always preferred to work solo, and

he had found he liked working alone a lot more after spending a few weeks

with Orochimaru. All he could hope for was that this new guy was nothing

like Orochimaru.

He had met his new partner a few hours ago. The new guy was odd, and he

had no idea what to make of him. Of course the new guy wasn't part of the

Akatsuki yet. No he had passed Sir Leader's test, but he hadn't passed

Itachi's test yet. He had a feeling about this one though. This sharkish

man...Kisame Hoshigaki. He might just work.
