Ch10- Ending: So Much for My Happy Ending

"Hey guys I haven't seen Pickles for a while now. Have any of you?" Kisame asked walking into the kitchen.

Deidara and Konan both stop what they were doing and glanced at one another. "Isn't today-?"

"Yes it is... er Kisame... have you seen Itachi around? He was supposed to have finished his mission by now." Konan said nervously.

"Hmm Itachi? Yeah I guess he should be back by now. Heh funny I had a strange dream about him last night."

"What?! What was it about un?!" Deidara asked everyone knows how Kisame is the worst when it comes to sleeping.

"Hmm... I remember that Pickles was lying on my stomach... then a strange light surrounded him and it turned out that Itachi was there instead... yeah that's all I can remember." Kisame said blushing slightly.

Deidara and Konan both slapped their foreheads in annoyance at how dim there comrade really is. "Kisame no baka, I think it's time we let you in on a little secret un."

Kisame stood in front of Itachi, his back facing him coldly. Itachi can feel the tinge of rejection slowly pull at his heart when he sees the shark he adores turn to face him; however, this time Kisame stood there with a smile on his face.

"K-Kisame?" Itachi stood there dumbfounded at how kind the shark's expressions were.

"Come on Itachi-kun, what are you doing standing over there for? Get over here?" Kisame's smile filled Itachi with a strange sensation of joy.

Itachi stood as if his feet were implanted to the ground. 'Is... Is this for real? Did Kisame just tell me to come over? I-I'm so confused.'

Itachi took a step forward, but took it back. 'Is this a trap? I know it isn't a genjutsu... what the hell is going on here?!' Kisame's smile turned into a look of sorrow.

"Itachi, are you okay?" Kisame took a step forward while Itachi stood his ground. "Did I do something to offend you?"

Kisame kept walking until he was right in front of Itachi. He raised both of his arms and grabbed hold of his shoulders.

"Itachi? Wake up Itachi. Itachi please wake up, I need to talk to you." Kisame stated, confusing the murder.

"Wake up? I am awake."

"Itachi wake up, we need to talk."

------

Kisame gently shook Itachi, trying to wake up the sleeping prodigy. "Come on Itachi you need to wake up."

'Gah he's never been a deep sleeper, this is not like him at all. The one time we need to talk and he's completely zoned out.' Kisame sighed an irritated sigh until he noticed Itachi finally start to stir in his sleep.

"Ki-same?" Itachi questioned as he opened his opal eyes.

"Finally Itachi, we need... to talk." Kisame said averting his gaze away from the Uchiha's.

Itachi stared up at him with confusion trying to comprehend what Kisame was saying. "What do we need to talk about?"

"...Us."

Itachi stared wide-eyed as a hot blush formed over his pale cheeks. "What do you mean by us?"

"Well... it's just that Konan and Deidara told me something earlier-" He was interrupted by a groan coming from Itachi.

"So now you know I'm gay and that you're uncomfortable working with me right? I get it there will never be any us so don't bother explaining." Itachi said getting up.

Kisame grabbed hold of Itachi's wrist and made the weasel face him. "Itachi from the day I met you I noticed how stubborn you were. You need to listen to what I have to say." Itachi stared up at him with curious eyes.

"Yes they told me that you are gay and that you are secretly a cat," He smiled sweetly. "They told me why you did it too... Itachi," Kisame gently cupped his chin and stared him in the eyes. "All you had to do was this."

Kisame gently brought their faces together filling in the gap between them. The kiss started off slow and built up into a more passionate one. Kisame's tongue begged for entrance, licking at Itachi's bottom lip. Itachi parted allowing their tongues to wrestle for dominance, having Kisame end up victorious. A quiet moan broke free from Itachi's throat as Kisame left no part of Itachi's mouth untouched. They parted for air and Itachi leaned his head on Kisame's shoulder.

"So that was all I needed? I didn't have to turn into a cat for seven days and wrestle with a psychotic bunny?" Itachi asked with a smirk.

Kisame grinned in return holding Itachi close. "Nope, but it is appreciated. Oh and I also like this new feature."

Itachi stared at him confused until he felt a familiar sensation that made him want to purr. "What the ahhh that feels nice."

"Seems the jutsu did have some side effects after all Pickles," Kisame grinned, turns out he was petting Itachi's new ears. "I like the tail too"

Itachi glared thinking of vial things to do to a certain blue haired kunoichi. While his evil schemes seemed to get more and more evil, he suddenly felt that happy sensation yet again.

"That's dirty play ah stop Kisame." The blush deepened as Itachi's embarrassment grew.

"Heh, this is the most emotion I've ever seen from you, I like it Pickles."

"I'm never living that down am I?" Itachi asked sighing happily.

"Not in this life time," Kisame smiled gently hugging the Uchiha. "Love ya Itachi."

"Love you too Kisame."
