Disclaimer: Itachi, Kisame and the rest of the Akatsuki belong to the genius Kishimoto... though it was not smart killing them all off. I own nothing
Ch 6- Operation sushi day 4: Picture Plan
"Man, I haven't had any missions for a while, things seem kinda slow without Itachi around." Kisame grunted lying on his bed.
Itachi's head perked up at the sound of his actual name. 'Things seem slow without me? Let's see what else he thinks of me.' Itachi jumped off the bed and crawled towards the nightstand. He jumped up and 'accidentally' knocked over a picture of Kisame and himself. It was a picture of when they were at the dango shop, it is one of the rare times he had smiled.
"Ah Pickles why did you do that? I happen to like this picture." Kisame got up and went over to see if any damage was done. Thankfully, the picture was fine. He picked it up and switched Itachi with the picture.
Itachi meowed towards the picture so Kisame sighed. "Well I guess you are curious, you've never met Itachi." Kisame said.
'Yes, that's the reason' Itachi inwardly rolled his eyes.
Kisame sat down at the end of the bed. He placed Itachi in his lap before picking the picture back up. Before anything was said, he smiled at the picture, most likely reminiscing about the event that caused the picture.
"Heh, Itachi may be my partner in this organization but I think of him as a comrade, a friend," He paused scratching Itachi behind his ear. "He may act heartless and cold, but I know he thinks of me as a friend as well. He'd deny it, say it's a weakness but I know I'm the closest thing he has to a friend."
Itachi looked up at him with wide eyes. 'He thinks of me as a friend? Phew I thought he hated me... how do I convince him that he is more than a friend to me?'
"Yeah I know Itachi's a good guy, he's just probably confused. Ah well you will get to meet him at the end of this week Pickles. I'm sure he'd love you." Kisame grinned a sharky grin still petting Itachi.
'You have no idea' Itachi meowed happily, as Kisame laid back down, placing Itachi on his chest. 'Heh maybe making him see me in a new way won't be as hard as I thought'
