JK: "Hello, Mr. Hindle. Or, as you're known in the hospital, Zepp." Meh, heh, heh. That's what my history teacher gets for making me do that stupid report. Well, this dawned on me during Spanish, so bear with me guys! I swear, that woman (my Spanish teacher) is freaking nuts! BTW, cip drew a FANTASTIC picture of Kisame cuddling Itachi in ch. 8! Just go on deviantART and type in Kisame Itachi, and then hit newest! It's around there somewhere! I hope you'll check it out!

To Fuhrer Sakura Taisen - I had an okay week (some bastard put paper-mache in my hair during art class-!). Nice to be back.

To t.A.T.u. Crazi - Believe me, it does! Not that I remember, but, I look forward to your story.

To my sweetie cip-chan - Here we go! Hope you'll enjoy it! BTW, I didn't have this up Friday because I was busy, but not busy enough to sneak some quality computer time!!

To Chipmunk-Chihuahua Hybrid - I really can't. They're just addicting.

To The-New-Akatsuki-Leader - GAH! (jumps behind couch) You put that down!! But, anywhoozits, I'm your HERO? Aww, you're sweet!

To my 'Lollipop' Artistic Eloquence - Ah, the temptation! That skill should come back up later, btw. Monkeybutt?! Jesus, I pity you!

To narutoneji - Sheesh, ever heard of things called 'school' or 'freaking huge piles of homework'? Well, not trying to be mean, so sorry. Glad you love it.

To axon - Well, I'm considering having them BOTH get spanked by Kisame at the same time at least once. Later, though.

To moonshine-blade - Hmm...Nice to hear from you (Can't really think of anything else to say! TT.TT).

To Jordan-san "Anro" (Ahn-Row)- Is that okay? 'Anro'? I just took the 'J' and 'D' out of your name. I hate hectic weeks too, Anro. Sheesh. I was freaking loaded because two teachers decided to make a big-ass project due the same freaking day, and I procrastinated! Well, here's my update, Anro.

To NamimiNakashima - Yes, Deidara's a moron!

To WhitePhoenixRyoko - Hey! I think I remember you! Well, nice to hear from you again!

To The Kyuubi Maiden - Oy, you have no IDEA!!

To Renji's Baby Sister - I think I've heard from you before...(ponders)

To ExplosiveNoteNinja - Whoa! (fetches ice for you) Nice pun, btw! My headache's gone, too! Thxs!

To Deikuru - Yeah, it was. XP. Well, I'm liking how this is turning out!

"Kisame, I'm assigning you and Itachi a special mission to Konoha." Leader said, walking into the living room. Kisame put his newspaper down and raised an eyebrow.

"Does it have anything to do with Naruto?" he sighed.

"No. I'll explain it..."

-Itachi and Kisame's room-

Techno music blasted from the speakers of Itachi's computer as One More Time played on the computer. Deidara and Itachi were dancing together while having a conversation, which isn't very hard.

"So," Deidara started. "No sign of Sasuke in HOW long?"

"I dunno." Itachi replied, not missing a beat. "He charged at me last time, and I beat him up."

"Wow. What a moron, un."

"I don't call him 'foolish little brother' for nothing."

"I see."

-Living Room-

"Oh, I see now." Kisame nodded.

"Yes. Now go find Itachi. You two leave immediately."

"SOMEONE'D BETTER TURN THAT MUSIC DOWN!!" Hidan screamed. "I CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION OF THE BASS DRUM THROUGH THE FLOOR!!"

"What music?" Kisame called up the stairs.

"Itachi's playing something upstairs!"

"He's grounded from the computer. Why does he insist...?" Kisame muttered, climbing the stairs.

-So Much Later, That JK Had Time To Take A Shower, Brush Her Teeth, Take A Nap, Then Draw Before We Came Back-

"Itachi? Hurry up!" Kisame called up the stairs.

"I'm coming!" came the reply. A crash and a stream of colorful language followed. Kisame sighed. He then re-checked his outfit to make sure it was alright. A black muscle-shirt and a pair of jeans, the Akatsuki cloak unbuttoned to reveal it all.

"Wow, Kisame. When the Leader said casual, I didn't know Itachi would go like THAT." Sasori commented.

"Go like-" the shark-nin's gaze found Itachi. "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!!"

"What?" Itachi shrugged. He was dressed in baggy black jeans, a black T-Shirt that read 'The Voices In My Head Are Not Real, But They Have Some Pretty Good Ideas" and a long black leather trenchcoat. Yes, folks, he even had black lipstick on.

"No." Kisame said simply, picking his newspaper back up.

"Why?"

"No."

"He said casual!"

"No."

"Come on!!"

"Itachi! Kisame! Stop fighting about what Itachi's wearing and get out that door!!" Leader called from the next room.

"Fine." Kisame picked up his backpack and strapped the Samehada to his back. "Come on, my naughty little weasel!"

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU CALL ME?!" Itachi screamed over the laughter of the Akatsuki. Chuckling, Kisame ushered his naughty little weasel out the door.

-Arriving at Konoha-

"Okay, Itachi-kun. I'm going to check into the hotel. You wait out here, and for God's sake, don't do anything stupid." Kisame instructed, walking into a hotel.

"Why would I do anything stupid?"

"Because you're standing out here in 80 degree weather in all black, not to mention a leather trenchcoat, and even wearing make-up! If that's not stupid enough, I know you'll do something else just to aggravate me!"

"I know you saw the lipstick, but how do you know about the eyeshadow?"

"EYESHADOW?!"

"Shit, I don't think you saw that." Itachi muttered.

"I'll deal with you later, Itachi." Kisame promised, vanishing in.

"I'll don't think they'll buy it, Kisame! We look nothing alike!!" Itachi called after him. They were to check into the hotel as, GASP, father and son. Itachi threw a fit when he heard it, but after a warning glance from Kisame and a reminder of the fact that they were in a forest and there would be no problem for Kisame to find a switch, Itachi quieted down.

"ITACHI!!" Itachi whirled around to see Sasuke. "I've waited...so long..."

"Well, a good afternoon to you too, foolish little brother." Itachi replied nonchalantly.

"I...will kill you!!" Sasuke charged toward Itachi, Chidori in hand.

"I don't have time to play with you, but-" Itachi kicked him in the stomach. Sasuke charged back, and they started fighting. Well, Itachi started beating the crap out of Sasuke.

"This...is over...!" Sasuke charged with Chidori no.2. Itachi braced himself-

"Knock it off, you two!!" Sasuke was suddenly knocked into a tree, and Itachi found himself roughly dragged up by the collar by an annoyed shark.

"Kisame..."

"I should have brought you in with me-!" Kisame muttered, dragging Itachi in behind him.

"You-You're not going to-"

"I should, but I won't." Kisame sighed, letting Itachi go in their room. "Listen, I'll tell you our mission. We're stationed in Konoha for a week to observe Naruto's movements. You know, who he hangs around with, stuff like that. We need to disguise you as a genin and have you try to be nice. You know, make friends with the kid." Itachi fell off his bed.

"It's gonna be a long week." he groaned.
