Bad Day…
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Characters: Itachi, Kisame
A/N: Sorry for the late updates. I was busy procrastinating. meh. yeah. Busy...procrastinating. ANYWAYS, I have like, loads of ideas for this because the plot bunnies in my head have been messing around each other, so I now have an overcrowded rabbit pen full of plot bunnies. Yes, they have been fornicating in my head, so good news (hopefully).
Kisame was bored as hell. Today was their rare mission-less day and Pein had sent out the remaining teams out on missions. Itachi was nowhere to be seen, most likely holed up in his bedroom where he will be sleeping until the afternoon. So, being bored, Kisame decided to read. Yes, the ex-Seven Ninja Swordsmen decided to read. Reading wasn't uncommon in the Akatsuki base because living as S-class criminals living in a rock tends to very boring. To be honest, almost everyone read. With the exception of Tobi and Kakuzu because the former entertains himself by annoying his sempai and the latter entertains himself by counting money and shouting about how much the Akatsuki members are wasting money. It was little less known that the Akatsuki had a library, with shelves full of relatively new second-hand books that they got for free (they left the second-hand bookstore owner broke after they raided his shop). There were books of all kinds, from simple picture books of plants (that Zetsu liked) to long novellas about a young boy seeking to avenge his clan (that Itachi liked) to several rare copies of Jashin's Bible (that Hidan liked) to guides on clay sculptures and puppets (that Deidara and Sasori enjoyed), etc. But you get the idea. There were a lot of books.
But out of the long shelves filled with books, Kisame liked the ones with about the ocean. Little Mermaid, to be exact. He really, really liked that book. He flipped open the green cover of the book and decided because Itachi was sleeping, he could at least read this out loud.
"Once upon a time…"
Itachi woke up with a start as he realized what Kisame was reading. He threw open the door with a bang and stormed outside and with a "SHUT UP!", he threw a kunai at Kisame's head, it's hilt landing perfectly at the back of Kisame's head, shocking him into dropping his green book. Itachi stormed back inside, grumbling at having being woken up.
"…" came Kisame's intelligent response.
Then silence. It was unusual for silence to fill the Akatsuki base, but there was silence as Kisame nursed his throbbing head.
"…there lived a PMSing Uchiha named Itachi…who had this thing for his brother…"
A furious and irate Itachi loomed above Kisame, Mangekyō Sharingan spinning wildly.
"KISAME…"
A/N: This is kinda short because I wrote this on such a short notice. The next one (or the several after the next) are going to be shorter, though. I swear. Again, read and review! :)
