The young beauty slept under a canopy of trees, the light of the sun escaping through the branches. The light made her stir awake, her small hands moving over her eyes to try and block out the sunlight. She stood still for a moment before she finally sat up and looked around the area, jade eyes blinked rapidly for a moment before she slowly stood up. She wobbled a bit trying to find her balance, her eyes still looking around her surroundings. She had no idea where she was or even who she was. She looked down at her hands that were littered in small scrapes, just like the rest of her body: however, other than a few scrapes and a horrible head ache, she felt alight, minus her missing memory of course. She stood in there in that same spot for what seemed like hours, holding our hope for the fact that maybe someone would come for her

The birds flew over her head and the sun continued its course in the sky. Her impatience soon getting the better of herself and she began to slowly walk. Taking step after careful step, she surprised herself though in knowing a simple task such as walking. She walked for what seemed like an eternity, but in actuality was maybe only half an hour. She had noticed though that she was not tired of standing or walking at all. Her mind wondering to the fact that maybe she was an athletic person. She continued her walk, deep in thought, wondering about whom she could be or where she even was. It was then that she stumbled upon a path, what seemed to be a well-used trail; footprints littered the ground as well as some animal tracks. She bent over lightly dusting the ground as if to uncover something unseen. She slowly stood back up, straightening herself out and creasing out the wrinkles in her clothes. Her eyes fluttered down both ways of the trail; it was then that she found another being on the trail. She simply smiled brightly up at him as if some innocent child, unaware of the stance he took on.

The man stared at her ready for the upcoming fight that was bound to take place. His mind wandered to where her little friends could be. His eyes darting around searching out any chakra signatures in the area, but it appeared she was alone. It had to be some kind of trap, but even as he prepared to form a jutsu, she just stood there smiling at him as if she had no clue who he was. He wondered if it was because he was dressed as a normal civilian, but even without his cloak he should have been very known, it wasn't every day you met a man that looked as he did. "I like your color" she stated happily before pointing to his blue skin as if he didn't already know that he fucking blue. He stared for a moment with what was probably the dumbest look he could muster up. Did she just say that she liked his color? What the fuck was this, some kind of horrible prank? "Hn" was his simple remark back as he stopped mid jutsu as she continued going on about how she could be that color too. He felt his eye twitch in annoyance before she finally stopped going on about how he looked like the sky. "Oh yeah, do you know who I am?" she asked finally holding up a finger to her pink lips, a confused look covered her face as she starred at him for an answer.

Once more he scanned the area for anything that could tell him this was some kind of trap and once more he came up with nothing at all. "So, princess, you're telling me you don't know who I am?" he asked the annoyance in his voice never leaving. She looked him up and down rather slowly before she shrugged her shoulders. "My prince?" she said rather curiously and he blinked a few times before a deep laughter emitted from his gut. Did she just call him, of everyone possible, her prince? "Well, you called me princess, so you must know me and you must be someone important right? Are you a knight?" she spoke again and once more, he busted out laughing even more so than before. A few birds in the woods flew away in fear at the loud laughing. Soon though, his laughter faded away and was replaced by a grin as he moved forward intent on leaving her behind in the woods; however, she was intent on following him. Even if her memory was faded, was she just some kind of idiot, it was plain to see that he was not fully human, he was a monster as many people had called him before. He continued to think on what he should do, maybe lead her into a town or just kill her now and not cause problems later? He wasn't one to just kill for fun though; right now she was no more dangerous than a civilian. "Listen princess, can't you tell I'm not exactly normal, even basic instincts should tell you to stay away" he muttered back towards her and he could hear the sigh that escaped her lips. "Why because your blue and weird like?" she asked before shrugging her shoulders and it took everything in him to not just turn around, knock her out, and leave her. "Am I really a princess?" she asked him he only sighed not wanting to laugh at that again, he had a rather problematic situation on his hands. "No, your name is Sakura and you hate me, actually, had you had your memory we would be fighting to the death right now" he said simply stating the truth and she only laughed at it. "Yeah right, if that were true you wouldn't be calling me your princess" she said not noticing how he froze in place and bumping into his back side.

"First off, I never called you 'my' princess, I called you 'princess'. Secondly, we are enemies and if you chose to believe that or not is your choice. Lastly, stop following me around" he said as if it were as simple as that and turned to continue on with the rest of his hopefully normal day. Of course, that was just too much to hope for when he felt the warmth of her hand wrap around two of his fingers. He twitched at the sudden contact and in a bit of frustration. What part of, stop following me, did she not understand? "But, where will I go?" she asked quietly gripping tight to his two fingers, as if that would have stopped him from just jumping away like some fool. Which he probably should have done a while ago, it wasn't as if he owed this girl some favor. He finally answered her say 'I don't care', but still she didn't let go of him. Her eyes just watched him stubbornly and he gave a low sigh. Why couldn't she just be afraid of him like every other normal human being was? Why did she have to stand there and compliment his color rather than scream and run away or make rude remarks behind his back? A low sigh escaped his lips or maybe a growl; he shrugged his fingers out of his hand and made a motion for her to follow behind him. He told himself that he would simply take her into the nearest town and move on with his life, forget about those jade eyes that watched his every move as if he was some long lost lover. He shuddered at the thought, not only was she the enemy, but what was she like twelve? He scoffed, he knew better than that. He knew all about her background and it wasn't the file a twelve year old would hold. He knew damn well she was somewhere in her mid-twenties, but telling himself that she was twelve put his mind at ease and perished any thought of taking advantage of a woman with amnesia. She followed behind him, working hard to keep up with his pace, but to no avail. Soon she just grabbed his hand and forced him to half drag her across the beaten path. He frowned a bit when she once more grabbed his hand as if it were the most normal thing in the world! Like she just held his hand every fucking day of his life and that nonchalant smile on her face didn't help the matter at all. What were they some strong couple or item or whatever that shit was called now a days? Other than the turmoil in his head though, he put up no fight with dragging her around more or less, listening to her huff just to keep up with him. It was almost as if her body had forgotten she was ever a shinobi of the Konoha at all. "What did you say my name was again?" she asked softly still holding tight to his hand; however, he did not indulge her by returning he grip. "Sakura" he stated simply wanting her to just shut up, but instead she continued on with the questions. "What is your name?" she asked slowly, as if that was some forbidden jutsu and he just lightly scoffed. Why did she care anyways? He wished he had never even stepped out today, he wished he had just stayed in his bed all day and enjoyed the rain. "Kisame" he finally replied and ignored the giggling from behind him when he spoke. "Well then, I like you Kisame" she said still giggling like some pathetic school girl. This was so out of character, the few times he had ever even encountered her, she was hard willed, determined, and usually barking out some less than lady like remarks. "What's there not to like?" he stated sarcastically, his voice gruff hiding his annoyance and she only laughed a bit more.

This was just about the strangest series of events that had ever happened to him. What would the others say about this? This was the girl that had killed Sasori after all, well, she had helped with it anyways. "Can I stay with you Kisame?" she asked throwing his name out now like they were some longtime friends or some shit like that. "Sure, whatever" he said before he knew what he was saying, he was simply answering her on whim, not paying much mind to the fact the question and paying too much attention to her casual use of his name. It wasn't until she started bouncing like a school girl and excitedly saying 'really', had he realized what he just agreed to. He stopped in his tracks once more and felt her tiny arms slip around his waist, her arms barely reaching around his large frame. He starred at her small hands for a second before he pulled himself out of her arms. Hugs, they weren't something he was used to receiving, actually, the last time he had ever received one was when he was a child before the changes started. How long ago was that? He mentally shot himself, when his mind started to wonder once more, he needed to stop that before he agreed to some other bullshit in some stupid question she asked. She starred him with a carefree look on her face, the light shining through the trees and hitting her round face perfectly. How the fuck was she so perfect looking in those disgusting torn to shred clothes? Her looks were not helping him in his situation at all either, maybe if he just took her to the little village that the compound was near? She could stay there and he would be free to visit her whenever he could? He wanted to laugh at the thought, why did he even care again? She was just some pink haired brat that would try and kill him when her memories returned. Maybe he could just take her to the compound then? More than likely they would torture her for information, which he knew she couldn't even recall at the moment. That sounded like a horrible fate in itself. It wasn't like he had much say in whether or not they would imprison and torture her. Even worse, they might just try and kill her right off the bat for even knowing there location. He was pulled back to though when once more she was touching him.

Her small hand grabbing his once more and her thumb gently rubbing the back of his hand. He wasn't going to sit here and lit about not liking the affection, but he knew all too well where this was going to lead. She was going to get her memories back sooner or later and she would probably try and kill him again. Leaving him with what? Horrid memories of how he took advantage of the fact that she had amnesia? Okay, maybe not horrid memories, but it was not something he wanted on his conscious. Still though, if she acted like this around him right now, going based off of just pure attraction to his look and not know who he was, what was she thinking when she did have her memories? He almost laughed at the fact that the young woman probably indeed did find something attractive about him, but pushed stupid things like that aside based on him being an enemy. He mentally shot himself…again. It could not be healthy to keep thinking of such things, it was only going to cause more problems that he did not need at the moment. "Let's go princess…." He said regretting everything he was doing before it even happened, taking to the village near the akatsuki compound, he couldn't just leave her after all right? Not every man out there would be as nice as him and not take advantage of her. At least that was how he was going to rationalize it for now. Her hand still help his and he slowed his pace for her….this was the start to something dangerous and he was just going to walk right into it…like the dumbass he knew he could be sometimes.
