Misunderstanding

"Itachi?"

"...Yes?" He said for the millionth time. He knew what her answer would be, because it was the same answer five minutes before it.

"This sucks." Yami sniffled. She rubbed her arms in a desperate attempt to keep herself warm from the breath taking winds. She couldn't even warm herself up because there was too much snow around. The snow at her feet prevented her from doing so, being that her power starts from her feet up. And if that wasn't bad enough, she was starting to catch a cold. Her body ached to be rested, her eyes her starting to get heavy from the cold she was getting and every small piece of snow seemed to be colder than the last.

"It isn't like it will get any better if you keep saying it." She heard itachi sigh beside her, agatha had long ago awaken and was finally off his back, but jade convenietly gotten tired and had to carry her. She was currently twirling itachi hair in her hands. She had asked him to take it out of the ponytail and he had almost immediatley obliged. Deidara and kisame thought it would be funny to mock him for that, but hey, whatever his jade wants, she gets. But that had not dulled his anger. And yami was not making it better, and now he was going to have to buy medicine for the upcoming cold that was accumilating. He could already hear it in her voice.

"But it does suck. It sucks balls. Really big balls." Jade had currently stopped playing with itachi's hair in time to listen to what yami had to say. She looked over to itachi with curious eyes.

"Tachi?" Jade asked, pulling lightly on his hair to get his attention. Itachi looked down to meet the crimson eyes of his surrogate daughter.

"Yes?" He asked.

"What sucks balls?" Jade saw itachi's eyes widen a fraction of a second before they went back to his usual stoic facade.

"Nothing. Yami's just whining out her frustration. Don't listen to her. Here." He said as he scraped more of his hair over his shoulder for her to play with. As jade became engrossed in his hair once more, itachi sent a withering glare at yami's direction.

"why...why did you say that?" Itachi pondered. Yami smiled sheepishly before sneezing.

Iim sorry. I just don't see why we have to go to the SNOW villiage. Do you know what it would take for me to heat myself up? I would have to travel all the way back to konoha in the warmth." Itachi smirked to himself as he looked at yami. Yami raised an eyebrow at him before smirking back.

"Pervert." She muttered.

"What? I didn't say it out loud." Itachi defended.

"Yeah. but that doesn't make you any less of a pervert." She muttered.

"You guys can stop with the flirting, we're going to stop in a hotel." Roni said.

"Okay. I need some sleep anyway..." Yami drawled, getting sleepier suddenly.

"Kisame." Itachi stated. The shark man stopped talking to his wife and gave his long time partner his undivided attention.

"Take yami to the hotel. Suki?" Suki looked from sasori to her brother in law.

"Yes?"

"Could you take jade to the hotel and tuck her in? I have to go and get yami some medicine."

"I'll come with you. I can smell the medicine from this hill top." Kimiko said.

"And pein and I will keep going. We'll take agatha and nadia to the hide out." Roni announced. Agatha looked over to roni with narrowed eyes. Apparantely she had othetr plans. Plans that involved a certain raven haired man. Roni narrowed her eyes back at her great aunt, daring her to say something. Agatha's glare faltered as pein put her on his back and they ran off.

"Well, that medicine won't get itself. Dont wait up for me babe!" Kimiko said as she jumped away. Kisame smirked.

"I won't!" He said. Kisame looked over to yami and looked like she was about to faint at any moment.

"C'mon, yami. Before you die out here."

As everyone had already checked in to there rooms, kisame had to carry yami upstairs for fear that she may colapse. Yami found that kisame was surprisingly warm and snuggled closer to him. He didn't smell like fish like she thought either. She had wondered how kimiko dealed with it, and now she knew.

Kisame unlocked the door and kicked it open since his hands were already full. The room was small but cozy and it would do for now. Kisame layed yami on the couch nearest to them and went towards the door.

"Kisame..." Yami breathed, kisame stopped and looked over his shoulder at the helpless looking woman.

"...Yes?" He asked as he made his way to her.

"Can you do me a favor?" She asked. Kisame raised an eyebrow as he leaned to her level.

"I need a shower. And I'm too weak to...and my clothes are heavy and drenched. Could you...could you help me take them off?"Yami stuttered.

Now, had this been about three years ago, kisame would happily oblige to such a favor. Hey konan has asked him this before and he's helped her. But now he had a wife, not only did he have a wife, but he had a wife that had claws and fangs. He had a wife that had claws and fangs that grew when she got angry. They also grew in the throws of passion and he had the marks to prove it, but that was not the point. Said claws and fangs were also responsible for many messy murders in the world. And kisame didn't want to another messy murder in the world.

"I...why don't I go and get one of your sisters to do it?" Kisame asked as he went towards the door. Yami reached out to him.

"No! you're already here and it will only take a moment and you can leave me in there. Just...please?" she begged. Kisame stared at the helpless anti for a moment and took his hand off the knob of the door and sighed.

'God, let me live through this.'

Delilah kissed the top of sayuki's head as she tucked her, daisuke and jade into her bed as she went into the small living room where deidara waited for her. As she slowly closed the door, she turned to see deidara's head against the wall, a look of horrorific disbelief on his face.

"Dei, what's the matter--?" Delilah started but was shushed harshly by her husband. Delilah narrowed her eyes for a moment before trying again, this time with something hard in her hands.

"Okay, let's try that again. Dei, what's the matter?" She asked in a sickingly sweet voice. Deidara looked over his shoulder at his wife before sprinting over and grabbing her arm.

"Listen." He hissed. Delilah narrowed her eyes again before slowly putting her head to the wall listeining to what deidara was listening to.

There are muffled voices so she couldn't really make out what they were saying, but she knew they were yami and kisame. Delilah just kept her eyes narrowed trying to listen for anything out of the ordinary. She waited.

And just as she was about to turn to deidara and scold him for listening, it happened.

The sound of grunts.

And not your regular grunts either.

Delilah covered her mouth in horror. Deidara saw the look and pushed her away to hear some more.

"Are you sure this is the right medicine?" Itachi asked as he looked at the bottle of cold medicine. Kimiko looked over at it with a raised eyebrow.

"Hm. It says cold doesn't it?" she asked, smirking. Itachi looked over at her and then at the bottle. He and the demoness stopped at the front desk and took the keys and started to walk upstairs.

"Just because it says cold medicine, doesn't mean it'll work." Itachi stated. Kimiko smiled at him and took the bottle away from him.

"Yeah well--" Kimiko stopped in the middle of the stairs. Itachi looked to his second favorite sister in law --daikirai is his first favorite-- with narrowed eyes.

"What happened?" He asked. Kimiko put her fingers to her lips as she listened to what was going on not two rooms away.

"Yami, you have to move with me, I can't do this if you're sleeping..." Kisame whispered.

Yami only moaned in response.

Kimiko heard kisame breathe out before she heard the shifting of sheets.

'They're shifting positions...' she thought.

Itachi had already heard yami's moan and in the blink of an eye was already at the door. He heard kisame breathe again.

"Okay, just spread your legs..." Itachi felt himself connect rather harshly to the wall before kimiko burst through the door, it was a blur, because hit his head rather hard against the wall, but he had seen the small glimpse of kimiko's lengthened claws before the door closed.

--

Kimiko was seething. Her piercing yellow eyes had long since turned pink from anger. She heard kisame shift her sister again, and snarled as she walked to the bedroom.

When she opened the door, she resisted the urge to rip out her husbands throat.

Kisame's cloak was in the chair at the opposite side of the room, he was only in his mesh shirt. He had his hands on either side of the straps of yami's underwear. Yami looked like she was about to die any moment. From here, kimiko could see that her skin was pasty and clammy he was looking at her, but made no attempt to remove his hands.

Kimiko stared blankly at her husband, but she was angry if the clenching of her fists were anything to go by.

"Kisame." She stated. Kisame winced inwardly at the icy tone of her voice as he tried not to tremble under her stare.

"Explain."

"Kimiko, hunny. It's totally not what it looks like." Kimiko raised a disbelieving eyebrow.

"Really. Because what it looks like to me, is that your stipping yami of her clothes. And it also looks like you still have your hands on the side of her underwear. Is this not what i'm seeing at the moment?" She asked in a deathly calm voice.

Kisame looked down and immediately snatched his hands away from yami's hips and moved into the corner. Kimiko took a step toward him and drew her claws, her full intent on beheading kisame.

"...Wait.." Kimiko stopped as she heard the small weak voice of yami. Kimiko turned to give her her undivided attention.

" What?" Kimiko asked. Yami picked her head up as much as she could from her pillow to talk to kimiko.

"It...it isn't what you think. I told...him to do it...please...don't be mad at kisame. He was helping me." Kimiko looked at her sister thoughtfully before looking over at her husband, who looked at her with horror.

"Oh, hunny, i'm so sorry." She said as she ran into his arms. Kisame's eyes widened before he snaked his arms around her too.

"I really thought I was going to die." Kisame said.

"At least you don't have any head truma." Itachi muttered and he came into the bed room. Through the fuzziness of his mind he heard everything.

"Well, I still need that shower, so,...if you guys could leave, that would be great." Yami said. Itachi looked over to his weak wife and then to his comrades before rubbing his head and tending to yami.
