Large dark eyes gazed silently at the chibi in front of him. "Hina-chan."
"What Shi-kun?" Hinata grumbled.
"Are we lost?"
A few minutes ticked by before the heiress replied, reluctantly. ". . . . No."
"GOOD!" Chibi Shikamaru chirped. "'Cause I wanna go back to big me!"
The girl hesitated. The two were in front of an intersection that branched off into four different roads. Two of which she could've sworn weren't there before. "Err . . . right . . . um . . . it's . . ." She picked up a stick on the ground and threw it down. It pointed right. ". . . rightward!" She said haughtily walking down towards the left pathway.

"Same-kun."
"Blub?
"I'm hungry."
The shark rolled his eyes. "Blu bu."
"Good idea!" The dark haired boy looked around the busy streets of Konohagakure. It was a good thing that the chuunin on guard duty at the western gate was asleep.
"Hey look! Sushi!" Itachi exclaimed. "Oooohh! Shark fin soup!"
"Blu blu lub!" Kisame exclaimed in horrified anger.
"Okay! Sushi it is!" With the proud steps of a child he strode quickly into the shop, once inside he climbed into a seat before setting Kisame down on the table before him. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom for a sec so wait here and don't move kay?" Then without even waiting for an answer, the diminutive form zipped off.
Kisame glared at his 'companion's' escape. Itatchi didn't even have the decency to wait for him to point out the sheer impossibility of him being able to willingly wait there at all!
Suddenly a shadow cast itself over the blue baby shark. Kisame turned and his eyes widened.

"HOKAGE-SAMA!"
"Good kami not him too . . . " Tsunade grumbled, letting go of a bruised Naruto to thud heavily to the ground.
A heaving Gai slid to a stop before the godaime. "Hokage-sama!"
"Let me guess." She said in a dull tone. "You woke up this morning and a little version of you when you were a pip squeak was there to greet you right?"
Gai gasped. "Exactly hokage-sama! Except . . . It was not I who awoke with such a problem but my lovely student Lee!"
A delicate brow was raised. "So where is he?"

"Kisame?" Itachi looked around in confusion. "Kisaaaaame? Where aaaaaaaaare you?" He ducked under the table and scurried around looking for his companion in confusion. There was no way his best buddy would ever ditch him like that (not that the shark man – err . . . boy – could at any rate). They were best buds in the whole world! Even their older selves hung out everyday! Popping back into his seat, he shrugged. Kisame probably had to go to the bathroom. With that solved the diminutive boy slowly tottered back to his seat in the sushi shop.
Wait a minute!
Itachi paused in mid step with a grim line marring his chubby features. Kisame didn't even need a bathroom! He swam in his own peepee and poopie! With hurried steps he began to frantically search in and around the shop, with each minute that his friend was lost he felt more and more tears well up in his eyes.
"Hello there little man."
Distraught eyes swiveled upwards. Unshed tears made his obsidian eyes glow with an unnatural sheen.
"Ah . . . wha . . . what's wrong!"
The boy started to hiccup, tears streamed down his face. "Ki . . Ki . . KISAME IS GOOOOOOOONEEE!"

"Wasn't that fun Gaa-chan!"
Gaa-chan nodded with a large grin on his visage. "I really liked it when Takura and Maruto and Tasuke and Gakashi saved the Snow princess!"
"Me too!" Chibi Sakura smiled and gave him a small peck on his cheek. "You're so cute when you smile!" She squealed.
A large red blush stained the face of Shukaku's carrier. His smile grew dreamy, eyes went distant and he stuttered out a nonsensical line that confused his female companion.
"Pardon?"
Chibi Gaara (whose face was redder than a tomato) shook his, linked hands with the smaller girl, then gently pulled her away from the Cineplex they'd exited and away from the cooing crowd ("Aaawww. How sweet! Those two are on a date!" "Sweeeet, a pimp in da makin'!" "Remember our first date?"). "Come on. Let's go to the park." He murmured.

Lee panicked slightly when the small black haired child started wailing. "Ah! Calm down! Calm down! I'll help you find . . um . . . Kisame was it?"
The smaller boy sniffed. "Uh huh."
Konoha's beautiful green beast scratched the back of his head. "Odd. I've heard that name from somewhere before . . ." (Very) Large (and bushy) brows scrunched together in concentration. "I really can't remember where from though . . ."
"So . . . sniff you're REALLY . . . sniff gonna help me?" Large watery eyes gazed up pitifully at the taijutsu master (and puppies every where were disgusted).
"Of course!" Lee insisted. "With every youthful bone in my body I, Rock Lee, Konoha's beautiful green beast will find your Kisame! Should I fail I will do three hundred laps around Konoha on my pinkies!"
A slow watery smile bloomed on the face of the dark haired child. "THANK YOU!" He squealed. Small thing arms wrapped around Gai's mini me's leg. "You're the bestest!"
Lee smiled modestly. "Ahaha! It's no problem uh . . . what's your name?"
A smile. "Itachi. Uchiha Itachi."
