I only own Nokoribi and Momi all other characters are from Naruto which belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.

So what's the verdict Momi, how the hell do I have the Mangekyō?

I'm not sure. Though I've heard it is usually activated through traumatic experiences, like the death of a loved one.

Well I have no loved ones so… that can be crossed off the list.

But what about…

No, Nokoribi said quickly, I have no friends or family.

Whatever we'll discuss this later. The main thing is that you have it. If anything it makes sense seen as I was created to destroy the Tailed Beasts if they were ever sealed into evil hosts.

I guess you're right.

A knock at the door interrupted their inward conversation. Nokoribi consentrated on her palms and her open skin reattached itself, hiding the eyes.

"Come in."

Konan stood at the door holding a towel, "you can wash if you like. The bathroom is just down the hall."

"Thank you Konan," Nokoribi said walking over and grabbing the towel.

Kiss-ass.

She padded down the corridor, Konan had left and Nokribi stared at two doors.

Not this shit again.

I'll knock this time.

She rattled her knuckles against the first door and there was thankfully no answer. She opened the door into a massive room, the floor covered with blue tiles. There was a massive steaming pool of water that covered the area of room. There was another door at the opposite end of the pool.

That is one big bath tub.

It looks more like a pool to me, she sniffed the air, I can't smell any chlorine so this must be it. How do I lock the door?

Beats me, just leave your underwear on and you'll be fine.

With that Nokoribi undressed leaving her clothes at the side and slid into the warm water.

It's a little deep.

Just shut up and relax.

Meanwhile

"Itachi, I'm going for a swim so save me some breakfast," Kisame said.

Itachi sat reading a book and didn't bother to look up, "hn."

"Take that as yes then."

Kisame walked to his poolroom his towel wrapped round his shoulders. Swimming had been the only thing that had kept him sane while his ankle was healing, even if he could only use one leg to kick. Itachi being the broody Uchiha he is only fought when he deemed necessary and apparently fighting to entertain Kisame was not essential. Instead he preferred to put his blue partner into a gengestu were Zetsu slowly made shark fin soup out of him. That was Itachi's type of fun.

But anyway now that Kisame's ankle was nearly enough healed he would enjoy a good long swim before breakfast or before kicking Itachi in the crotch with his newly healed leg for not saving his breakfast. Well, he would try and smash Itachi in the crotch.

He worked barefoot across the blue tiles of the pool room then dived head first into the warm water. Kisame swam into the deep water playing first. Seeing how long he could hold his breath for and pretending there was a shark then…hugging it. All the usual water games Kisame Hoshigaki played.

Suddenly he spotted a pair of legs dangling at the surface of the water, seeing they were attached to half naked female body he swam over. This day just keeps getting better and better, he thought.

While at the other end of the pool

Dun der... dun der… dun der... dun der, dun der, dun der, dun der. Dahhhhhhhhh!

Momi will you shut up that tune is creepy.

I know. It's theme people sing to attract sharks. So Nokoribi this pool is pretty deep, I bet it leads right to the sea.

Don't.

Dun der…dun der…dun der…

Out of nowhere something blue snatched Nokoribi's leg hauling her underneath the water so quickly she didn't even get the chance to shout, 'shark.'

It worked!

It lashed out and pinched her bottom. She let out are gargled yelp, while her hand struck blindly at the blue beast. Blood beginning to cloud her vision even more.

Quick get out, blood attracts more sharks.

Nokoribi paddled as fast as she could towards the side but yet again the creature nipped at her bum. She kicked her foot out managing to push off as well as hitting the thing in jaw. She looked back to see Kisame cradling his face.

Perverted fish man, I did wonder why it only nipped my bum.

I bet that song was a shark mating call.

Nokoribi made it to the side and quickly wrapped herself in her towel. Kisame stomped out after her. He grabbed her arm.

"Why were you in my pool," he snarled, "or do you just enjoy making me miserable."

"Firstly I thought it was the bathroom. Secondly you're the one who dragged me underwater and started to grope me. I had every reason to smack you in the face."

"But…I thought…"

Nokoribi turned on her heel, "no buts I'm going to tell Itachi so he can rape you with his eyes."

He called after her, "no, please anything but that…"

Kisame's words were cut off when Nokoribi slammed the door behind her. She stormed back into her room and quickly got dressed.

I seriously hope my next mission is not with that sharktard.

Why does Itachi get to torture him, we have the eyes now too.

I can't use them yet, not until I am sure it's safe.

Party-pooper.

Once she was dressed, Nokoribi left her room in search of the Uchiha. She followed the tunneling corridors to the common room. The lights were dimmed and at first she had thought nobody was in there until she heard the flicking of pages. Itachi sat in the corner and Nokoribi was thankful she had beaten Kisame here.

"Your chakra feels different," he said.

She just laughed nervously, "umm…thank you. I actually came here about Kisame. See I was in the pool room and…"

Itachi dropped his book and darted forward, his fingers constricting Nokoribi's throat. He shoved her head against the wall.

"I knew it was you, although at first I wasn't sure. But the way chakra is concentrated now in your hands I am certain. You're that child from so many years ago," Itachi said.
