Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Ranma 1/2.

Pein and Konan returned from their mission in a bad mood.

"Hey," Kisame greeted them from the couch. "How'd it go?"

"Don't ask," Pein grumbled, leaving the room. Konan followed, muttering unintelligible things under her breath.

Kisame blinked. "Wonder what happened."

"Can't be worse than our mission," Itachi mumbled from his corner.

Kisame startled. "Woah! You're still there?!"

Itachi stared at him blankly.

"Look, I know you're in a bad mood, but you can't keep holed up forever. Come on. We're going to ask Leader-sama for a mission." And he grabbed Itachi's arm and dragged him away.

"A mission?" Pein asked when they reached his office.

"Yeah. We're bored," Kisame said. "So we want to go on a mission." Itachi just stared forward from his spot beside his partner.

"Well... If you really want to..." Pein grabbed a stack of folders from on top of his desk and started flipping through them. "Let's see... Rice country... No, not that... Not Konoha... Ok." He grabbed a paper. "You're going to go grocery shopping. We're running low on food."

"Uh... Grocery shopping... Okay, I guess we'll do that..." Kisame responded slowly.

Pein handed them a wallet. "Any more money than this comes out of your own pocket." He cleared his throat. "At least, that's what Kakuzu told me to say. Now go."

"Yes, Leader-sama," they said.

X . X

"Ok..." Kisame said, looking at the paper in front of him. "According to this, we have to go shopping here." He looked up at the store in front of him that was called 'Big Mart'. "Geez, Kakuzu really takes this seriously. Right, Itachi?" He glanced around. "Itachi?"

Where'd he go? Kisame wondered.

He thought back to their route. They had gone through the forest, took the back entrance into the village, cut through a few peoples' yards, walked a few blocks...

Wait...

Weren't the sprinklers on in one of those yards?

Stupid curse.

He turned around and headed back to the houses they had crossed through. Sure enough, kid Itachi was stuck in one of those yards, struggling to stand up with his long, heavy cloak.

"Need some help?" Kisame asked, walking into the yard. Itachi glared at him.

"I really hate you, Kisame," he growled.

"Well that's rude!" Kisame huffed. "I'm not going to help you if you act like that!"

Itachi flushed. "Just get me out of here."

Kisame grabbed him and placed him on his shoulders. "I'll turn you back when we're done with shopping," he said, and started off. Before going into the store, he placed a henge on himself so he wouldn't stand out so much.

"Let's see... A dozen eggs... Three gallons of milk... Five pounds of raw beef... Four boxes of cereal... Man, this is a lot of food..."

After about an hour, they were finished with shopping. Kisame was forced to buy about 490 ryo of it, much to his annoyance. And during the checkout, the cashier kept cooing about how cute his 'son' was. Itachi was predictably not happy.

"Why couldn't you turn me back before?" he muttered to Kisame over the talking cashier.

He grinned sheepishly. "Sorry?"

"Here, I'll give you a discount," the cashier said. "Us dads have to stick together."

"Uh... Thanks," Kisame responded, not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. Itachi glared at the cashier, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Well, that went well," Kisame commented as they walked out. Itachi turned his glare to the shark man carrying him.

"Turn me back. Now," he ordered.

"I can't do it in the middle of the street," Kisame pointed out. "At least wait until there's no one around."

"Fine," Itachi sullenly complied. "But make it quick."

Kisame saluted him. "Can do," he said, and started running off. "Where can I find some hot water..."

Then they heard a voice. "... ... ... ... ... ... somewhere around here, Sasuke... ... ... ..."

Sasuke?

Itachi spun his head around to see his younger brother, walking down the street with his group of 'friends'.

Sasuke!

That was chapter seven! Please review!
