Okay! This story is starting to make some sense to me as I slowly read more of the comic and slowly think up other things. Thanks for the reviews and onto the disclaimer!
Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto. If I did, it would be in America by now, I'd be rich, and I wouldn't be writing about this story… so… yeah…
Chapter 2- Find a little hope
Itachi traveled day and night to nowhere when he left the village. As midnight came, he stopped in the middle of a meadow to rest. As he laid on the tall grass, it died right under him from his horrible stench.
"STUPID ARMPITS!" Itachi cursed as he began to kick nothingness. He tired himself out and sat back now. 'There's only one thing to do in a situation like this…' Itachi thought to himself…
He cried.
Literally. He brawled like a baby dropping his ice cream cone. "AAAHHHH! What am I doing! I didn't have to leave! Now I'm in the middle of nowhere, with everyone and everything dying right in behind me, and I'm talking to myself! OH God, NOW I'M GOING TO END UP LIKE THE EYEBROW GUY!" Itachi began to panic as he ran around in circles, pulling at his hair (Fan girls: NOT IS HAIR! 'faints'). He soon tired himself out again and sat down in the crop circle he created. He put his knees up to his chin and cuffed them with his arms. He sat in that position until a strong gust of wind knocked him into the fetal position, which he fell into a dreamless sleep.
Meanwhile at the Uchiha Clan's estate, med-nins were examining the fainted bodies.
"They all seem to have a pulse," one of the meds resulted.
"Ew! They smell bad, too!" another med-nin exclaimed holding his already covered nose.
"They all stink!" some med from a distant yelled.
"We better put them in these bags," the head-med tossed his teammates piles of black bags. "Don't want them making everyone else smell this. As soon as they wake from his smelly coma, we'll scrub them down with some of the new, improved Dove soap." The med-nins placed each Uchiha into individual bags and zipped them up, but not all the way so that they could still breathe.
As the med-nins carried the body bags towards the hospital, little Sasuke stared in horror as his family members were being carried in black dead-body bags. Sasuke began to tear up as he bolted out the estate.
"Hey, boss," another random med ran up to the head-med carrying a body bag over his shoulder, "shouldn't we tell the little boy, Sasuke that his family is in a coma when they smelt his awful stench covering them?"
"We'll tell him when he comes to the hospital."
The morning sun rose in the east. Itachi's dark eyes began to open and he stretched in the open plains. He noticed something, or someone was shading him from the sun. He rubbed his eyes and noticed a tall figure blocking the sun. He looked closer and saw the he was some ugly lizard-looking guy with marks under his eyes.
"HOLY CRAP!" Itachi jumped to his feet and backed away from the creature. "Who the heck are you!" As he stood up, he noticed that the person was indeed a head taller than the Uchiha.
"I'm Hoshigaki Kisame," he introduced. He walked closer to Itachi, whom backed away.
"What are you doing here?" Itachi demanded.
"I was just gathering food and I noticed that a little guy like you shouldn't be all alone," Kisame smiled. "You must be hungry, seeing that all you have with you is a toothbrush and some clothes."
"I am not," Itachi denied. Truthfully, he didn't eat anything since he became captain of the ANBU force, which was days ago. "And I'm not little!"
"You're little compared to me," Kisame smirked at Itachi, who struggled to walk. He held his smug expression, walked over to Itachi, and handed him a few fruits. "Why are you here all alone? You must either be the Uchiha that disappeared or dusted(1) off his entire family with one swipe."
"I did not dust off my family, whatever 'dusted' means in your language!" Itachi protested. "What a stupid rumor! My family simply passed out because…"
"Because…?" Kisame urged on.
"I have terrible body odor alright!" Itachi admitted. "I ran away from home because my brother would have told the Hokage about my odor and ban me from the village."
"I know someone that might can help you with that problem," Kisame said. "His name is Orochimaru. He can find that cure, but you must find the ingredients yourself."
"For real? Where can I find him?" Itachi perked up.
"Follow me if you wish," Kisame turned to leave.
"Hey, wait." Kisame stopped in his tracks. "Why do you want to help me so badly? And why haven't you already fainted from my stench?"
"You're the only person who actually stayed and talked to me. I haven't had any friends in my life." The lizard-man turned and pointed to his face. "And I don't really have a nose, knocking out my sense of smell."
"Oh." Itachi finished off the last piece of apple and threw the core on the ground. "Let's get started, if we want to get anywhere by sunset." Kisame smiled as Itachi caught up with him.
"Let's go then."
"Kisame, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
Well, how you like? And no, this will NOT be a Kisame/Itachi! That's kind of weird to me! Please review!
