Two days later Kisame was summoned by the Leader, he and Itachi had to go away to carry a letter a village then got back with an answer (that should be hopefully positive… it meant that the Akatsuki wouldn't destroy that village…).
Kisame nodded as he got it, then he started looking for his partner.
-Itachi – he called him when he found him in the kitchen. The shark-like-man could just see his back but by the motion he could tell that the crimson-eyes guy way drinking something that supposed to be: coffee.
He didn't turn towards Kisame.
Kisame waited for a while then he called him again, raising his voice:
-Itachi, com' on, we have a mission, we have to go – Kisame said.
No response.
The guy didn't turn towards him. By his move Kisame could tell that the Uchiha took down his coffee and he turned a page in a magazine.
Ksiame wasn't in the mood to shout with the feared-Uchiha so… thanks for a sudden idea he stopped behind the Uchiha boy and he sling the boy over his shoulder.
-Come on, Uchiha – Kisame muttered and he marched out proudly from the kitchen with his bounty when he was knocked on he shoulder gently.
-What's it, Uchiha? – Kisame asked the person who was on his shoulder but he didn't look at its face
It again knocked on his shoulder.
-Tell me – Kisame said.
-Shade!Shade! – Suddenly they heard Deidara's voice , the blonde terrorist ran down from the upstairs – here's your balsam for your wound! – he stopped running in the living room – Shade-chan… what are you doing on Kisame's shoulder?
Kisame looked around to be sure that there was no other Kisame in the room but him.
-Shade? – he asked curiously then he lifted the person from his shoulder.
He held her by her hip… he was glaring at her with disbelief… she was held in the air…
-Shade? – he asked again now from Deidara.
-Her name – Deidara nodded – isn't she similar to the Uchiha? – he asked with a grin.
-Man, I thought that she was the Uchiha… - Kisame murmured.
Suddenly they heard a strange voice… the two villains looked at the girl… who was… chuckling…
-Can she laugh? – Kisame asked – then… she isn't really an Uchiha… - he added seriously.
-Kisame,a re you ready? – suddenly Itachi appeared in the living room, bringing with himseld a dreadful aura. He saw as Kisame was still holding the girl in the air.
-What are you doing? – The Uchiha asked bluntly.
Kisame immediately took down the girl.
-Nothing – he answered innocently.
-I'm gonna leave first then… - the Uchiha left the room as fast as he could.
-Hoshikagi – suddenly Deidara called the shark-like-man, who followed Itachi's every move with his look.
-Huh? – he turned to Deidara.
-Look at her and memorize her face! That's how Itachi's face should look like if he could smile… - Deidara said and the girl started giggled quietly.
-Wow… that's so charming… - Deidara commented.
Kisame agreed with it… he couldn't move anywhere… he got trammelled by her face.
-Yes… that's how it should like to be if Itachi ever could smile.. – he nodded.
It looked like that the girl got confused so she went back to kitchen, back to her coffee.
