Ch 4- Operation Sushi Day 2: Tastes like Fish

The sun rises, shining brightly over the Akatsuki lair. The light shines through a window beaming on Kisame's calm face. He scrunches his nose obviously annoyed with having to wake up. A yawn escapes his lips as he stretches his arms.

"Nya!" Itachi shrieks as Kisame shifted suddenly. Itachi had been sleeping on his chest, enjoying the feel of Kisame's muscles underneath him. He glared until Kisame picked him up, scratching underneath his chin. "Purr~"

"You sure are easy to please aren't cha Pickles." Kisame chuckled placing the cat on the mattress, heading for the bathroom.

Itachi curled up into a ball, his ears twitching at the sound of running water. 'I wonder if Kisame would be angry if a certain kitty walked on in and... No bad Itachi, no pervy thoughts'

Itachi continued to scold himself until he perked up from the sound of Kisame walking back in the room. Once he entered, Itachi could have sworn he almost had a nosebleed. Can cats get nosebleeds? Well Itachi sure was close. Kisame had walked in the room not exactly dry. Kisame's muscular chest had drips of water slipping down to the towel tied loosely around his waist.

'Oh... my... god' Itachi ducked back under the covers waiting until Kisame was fully dressed to come back out. He felt two strong, firm hands grab him gently and cause him to be eyelevel.

"You sure are strange aren't cha Pickles," Kisame chuckles heading for the door. "Let's get you something to eat."

Itachi got a little uncomfortable being held, so much so he crawled up to Kisame's buff shoulders finding a very comfortable spot. Kisame just smiled and walked on into the kitchen.

"Do we have any cat food?" This realization hit Kisame hard as he realized he may not have any food for his little kitty friend. "Shit what am I going to feed you?"

'Just get me some dango please' Itachi felt like screaming at the dumb fish but he remembered that cat's do not talk. This is one of the down sides of this jutsu. 'Though I could think of something else I wouldn't mind eating... Gah again with the perverted thoughts'

Konan was sitting at the table, folding a piece of paper, unaware of the two who just entered the room. Everyone knows not to mess with Konan when she is doing origami but this is an emergency and Kisame had to do the right thing.

"Erm Konan," He was immediately shushed by the kunoichi but he persisted. "I don't know what to feed Pickles but,"

"Say no more! I know what to do!" Konan completely dropped her work and ran to the fridge to pull out a package that must never be disturbed.

Kisame gave a frightened look barely choking out his question. "K-Konan don't y-you think it's a little d-dangerous? I mean no one EVER touches Itachi's dango."

Konan sighed and just shook her head. "Kisame, Itachi's been sent on a mission for a week. I highly doubt he'll remember that one or two are missing, besides Mr. Pickles needs food." Konan placed the bag on the counter, winking at Itachi.

Kisame watched the strange woman leave wondering if it was safe to touch Itachi's dango. Flattered yet extremely annoyed, Itachi jumped off from Kisame's shoulders heading straight for the bag.

"I guess it can't hurt... you do need food and besides I can always get more so that Itachi doesn't get upset." Kisame took a deep breath and opened the dango bag. He clenched his eyes shut for a moment or two, waiting for Itachi to burst in the room and kill him. After a few minutes passed, Kisame opened his left eye, only seeing Pickles stare up at him hungry. Opening the other eye, he pulled out some dango and placed them in front of Pickles.

'Hn, that was kind of sweet... in a paranoid way' Itachi sighed before digging right in to the dango, loving every minute of it.

Kisame smiled before heading over to one of the higher shelves. Pulling out a bowl, he opened the fridge door pulling out some milk. He then opened the carton, filling the bowl and gently placing it on the ground. Itachi, being the intelligent fellow that he is, caught on and walked over to said bowl. He did not quite realize how thirsty he was until he started drinking it.

His smile never leaving his face, Kisame scratched the back of his head. "What else should I give you? Maybe I should buy you some cat food later... Kakuzu's going to kill me, but I can't think of anything else to give you."

Itachi's head perked up at his partner's comment. Smirking, Itachi jumped on the counter with his new kitty powers, crawled up onto Kisame's shoulders and licked him.

'Mmm tastes like Sushi!' Itachi licked his lips, enjoying Kisame's taste more then he should. Kisame just stood there shocked.

"Jeez aren't you an affectionate guy, aren't cha? Heh should have known you would like the taste of shark." Kisame chuckled walking out of the kitchen to get some rest.

~With Hidan~

"Aww fuck that stupid cat scarred my face. What did I do to deserve that?" Hidan angerly traced over the three new scars that boldly shine on his flawless face. "I'm going to sacrifice that fucking cat to Jashin-sama."

"I highly doubt Kisame would allow that. Besides your face is fine, you vain bastard." Kakuzu sighed, working on some paperwork for Pein.

Hidan glared at the miser with disgust. "My face is not fine! I'm ugly aren't I?" Hidan got stuck in one of his I'm-ugly rants, which always annoy the hell out of Kakuzu.

"For crying out loud Hidan you're not the ugly one, I am!" Kakuzu shouted frustrated at the zealot.

Hidan stared wide eyed at Kakuzu. "How can you fucking say that?"

"How can I not? My face is ugly and all scarred up. Yours is flawless." Kakuzu said pulling down his mask.

Hidan's eyes grew even wider, if that is possible, as a blush spread across his face. 'Holy shit he's hot!' Kakuzu turned around sadly; pulling his mask back up, assuming Hidan's reaction was a negative one.

"Do you have any fucking idea how hot you are?" Hidan asked sitting beside the miser smirking.

"You have a real dry sense of humor Hidan." Kakuzu muttered not amused. He was surprised to feel Hidan turn him around, pull down his mask having a pair of soft lips cover his own.

"Still think I'm joking?" Hidan smirked letting go. "You, my dipshit of a friend, are fucking sexy!"

It is Kakuzu's turn to be surprised. Kakuzu glanced at his work then glanced at Hidan. "Ah screw this." He said which ended up with a horny Hidan jumping him.

~With Itachi and Kisame~

Kisame awoke groggily and disgusted. "What the hell is going on in there?" Kisame wondered aloud, hearing some strange noises coming from the room next to them, which happens to be Hidan and Kakuzu's room.

Itachi shuddered, figuring that Hidan finally jumped Kakuzu. 'That is really unfair!' Itachi whined, wishing that it could be him and Kisame in that situation.

Kisame picked up the Itachi and walked out of his room... far away from Hidan and Kakuzu's room. "Well Pickles, what should we do now? What do cats like to do?"

'Watch blue sharks take a shower'

"Hmm, maybe I can go out and pick some stuff up for you... but who'll watch you till I'm back?" Kisame scratched his blue hair, messing it up even more than it already was.

"Hey Kisame, what's up?"

Kisame spun around and saw Deidara walk over to where he was. His eyes light up as an idea formed in his head. "Hey Deidara can you do me a favor?"

"What is it?" Deidara asked.

"Can you watch Pickles for me? I need to pick some stuff up for him." Kisame asked picking up the adorable kitten.

"Sure un, it'd be my pleasure!" Deidara said excitedly.

A look of pure terror was shown on Itachi's face as he was lifted over to the blond. 'But I want to hang out with Kisame!' Itachi mentally cried as the blond held him.

"Alright I shouldn't be long. Thanks for doing this Deidara." Kisame said heading to the exit of the lair.

"No problem, take your time," Deidara called after him. Once Kisame was gone, Deidara faced Itachi and smirked. "Time to have some fun."
