Happy Birthday, From Kisame

Chapter Two: Oh Dear…Roller Coasters and Itachi Should Most Definitely Not Be Used In The Same Sentence

…Fish suit.

Or, rather, shark suit.

No.

Some kind of goldfish suit.

Yes, that was the best description.

A goldfish suit.

That one fish that would rot your tank in five minutes?

Yes. That's the one.

"Kisame…"

Kisame grinned at Itachi.

"Yes?"

Itachi glared menacingly.

"Are you trying to attract public attentio-"

Before he could finish his sentence stating, "Are you trying to attract public attention from the crowd around us at this carnival?", they were stampeded by little kids.

"Mommy, mommy look! It's that huge guppy fish we saw on TV on the other day!"

"Daddy! Lookie! It's that fish that knows how to talk on TV!"

Itachi winced. 'Could they possibly be talking about the children entertainment show…with some child named Stanley and a talking goldfish? Oh, what was it called again?'

(A/N: I really don't know what it's called. Anyone remember? The show is a cartoon, and deals with a kid and animals. And some book. Picture book?)

Itachi winced incredulously as the small children ran up and hugged Kisame like a human plush.

But then again, that was what Kisame was right now; A human plush.

He shook his head, bemused at the fact that Kisame was struggling with the children.

"Kisame," he called out in his normal tone of voice. He was sure that Kisame would be able to hear him.

"What is it Itachi-san?!" he called back. The children wanted his autograph, a picture, a hug, a kiss, and for the 'Big fishy' to talk. They tugged on his fins, held onto his 'tail' and poked his animated scales.

"Transform into your normal state."

"Ah, yes Itachi-san!" Kisame made sign with his fingers as he was in his fish costume, causing only his fins to look amusedly like nothing but a plus sign.

In a poof of clouded air, Kisame stood in his normal place again.

Of course, Itachi surely wasn't stupid, so he quickly got behind Kisame, set a hand on his shoulder, then disappeared quickly before the smoke cleared. So, now all they saw were some kids trying to hug smoke.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That was very disrupting, Kisame."

Kisame grinned sheepishly.

"Didn't know, Itachi-san. I didn't know it would."

Itachi sighed inwardly. "Are we going to go back now? There's been enough trouble done here already."

"No Itachi-san! We've only been to one attraction so far! We'll continue on!"

Itachi definitely did not understand how Kisame was so excited about this. He had checked for the umpteenth time this day if it was really his partner in crime, Hoshigaki Kisame. And for the umpteenth time, it was really him.

Itachi said nothing for a moment. Then, he looked at Kisame.

"Let us just get this over with."

Kisame grinned. Again.

Itachi checked him. Again.

It really was Kisame. Again.

And now they are walking. Again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Itachi eyed the odd trinket in his hands they had just paid for five of. He eyed the other people around him, throwing the rings and missing them.

"Give it a shot already, Itachi-san!" Kisame was standing behind him, holding a middle classified prize.

"You must be kidding."

"Um…No, I'm not Itachi-san."

"I'll make a fool out of myself. I'm not going to do this."

"But…But…Itachi-san! I paid for it!"

Itachi glared at Kisame as he threw the ring.

He was sure it went it.

It didn't.

He turned his head and glared at the stud that he was supposed to throw the stupid ring at.

He repeatedly tried to throw it. And he repeatedly missed until he had no more rings. That was because he had made the last one. He eyed the small rubber ball he had for a prize of getting a single one in.

"Kisame…You're paying for this, right?"

"…Right…But since we're done with this, let's go over the-"

"Pay."

Something told Kisame that it was a very stupid and bad idea to refuse, so he did.

He just wasted another two dollars.

"Pay."

Yet another two dollars.

"…"

Another two.

"…"

And yet another two.

This went on until Kisame had lost a good fifty dollars. And then finally, Itachi put down his own money. This time, he wasn't going to mess up.

Quickly he cloned and cloaked himself, then when Itachi threw the ring, Itachi clone quickly caught the ring, and slammed it down onto the stub. Kisame stared, not knowing what to think.

Itachi left satisfied, clutching onto the poor human sized bear by the arm as they left towards the next attraction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kisame, you go do what you want. Just do not get into any trouble. I'm going to take a rest." Itachi spotted the bench near one of the many food stands there were at the carnival.

"Alright, do you want me to rest with you?"

"Why would that be needed?"

"Well, there might be danger…"

Kisame thought for a moment.

"Alright. I'll go find something to do."

Itachi pointed towards the bench ahead of them. "You can find me there later."

Kisame nodded as he left towards the other direction, Itachi tiredly sitting down. No one knew, of course.

Itachi decided that he was hungry ten minutes later of sitting. He spotted the food stand, and started over.

He waited in line for a couple minutes, just below his patience line.

"Hello sir, can I help you?"

"You will serve me." The man blinked. Itachi eyed his red hat as he looked up at what could be purchased.

"Dango with the drink." Itachi paused for a moment. "Please."

The man smiled. "Of course sir!" and he turned to grab Itachi's order.

Itachi took this time to figure out whether he felt as if he fit in, or stood out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Itachi sipped his drink as he waited for Kisame, who came about half an hour later.

"Ready to go, Itachi-san?" Kisame sat down beside him.

Itachi sipped and he stood up.

"Unless you must rest, then yes."

Kisame smiled.

"Five minutes won't hurt."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exactly five minutes later, they were walking.

"Where are you planning now?" Itachi still gripped his drink.

Kisame looked around. He then heard distant screams not very far from where he and Itachi stood.

"Ah, Itachi-san. You aren't afraid of roller coasters, are you?"

"I don't know."

Kisame grinned again.

"Then we'll see."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Itachi was afraid of roller coasters.

From the very bottom of his heart he was.

Not like he was going to admit it anytime soon.

"Well, are you going to go, Itachi-san?"

Itachi felt a small bead of sweat drip from his face onto his bare collarbone.

"Well," Perhaps he could escape it if Kisame was afraid? "Do you want to go?"

"Of course!"

Well, so much for that idea.

"Are you sure? I have heard many people hide their fears in order to look good. If that is your situation, please consider, it is fine."

"No Itachi-san! I really want to go on! It's so much fun!"

Itachi gulped to himself.

"Well Kisame…" Hopefully he's been on one before… "Have you been on one before?"

"Yes, a couple years ago."

"…What was it like?"

"It's like rolling down the hill with no extra injuries."

"…Injuries? Emphasize."

"No scratches or anything."

"Anything else?"

"Well, it's not really rolling…I think it's more like falling."

"Falling?"

Itachi doesn't like to fall.

Itachi remembered the first mistake he ever made. When he was leaping trees on a very extremely high, tall canopy of trees in a forest, he fell. The entire way. He remembered he felt like he was about to choke on his heart as he fell. It was one of the very few injuries or mistakes he's made in his life, and he doesn't want to experience again. Ever.

"Why, yes, Itachi-san. Falling." Kisame turned and pointed at the roller coaster as it fell. "See that? We're going to ride that.

The ride went higher then those canopies.

"Well, are we going to go, Itachi-san?"

Itachi swallowed his fears.

"Yes. Let's go."

He choked on them. The roller coaster did CPR, and then it plopped back out. Too big and hard to swallow.

Kisame grinned and headed towards the very, very long line.

Well, at least the line was long enough to wait for. It was better then falling. Walking would always be better then falling, in Itachi's opinion. It was then about twenty minutes later, that he took a step. He felt the bead of sweat on his forehead. It was like walking to a place where pink bunnies would over take the world, or something worse then that. Anything. Worse then hell. Hell looks like a simply fine place to be, in Itachi's case.

"Kisame? Can you…keep in line? I want to go get another drink."

If it Itachi had to take one step every twenty minutes, then he might as well sit before falling into the depths of his demise.

"Okay. I'll wait."

"I'll be back when it's our turn."

"Mmm." Kisame nodded.

Kisame wondered if Itachi knew it was best not to have a drink before a big ride that goes upside down.

He probably does.

Pfft. Yeah right.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Another drink, please."

Itachi sat as he waited for the line to shorten that it was his turn.

He decided to enjoy his very few moments of peace and liberty before plummeting into the depths of…wherever he was going to plummet to.

It was then something odd struck his eye.

He was kind of wishing it didn't.

'This ride…' he thought. 'This ride is going to go upside down?!' He turned his head all around him. 'It goes around the entire theme park?!'

Itachi held his head in despair. It felt like it would twist off if he didn't.

'This is simply too good to be true…'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Itachi-san! You've arrived just in time."

"…As promised."

"You didn't…eat anything, did you?"

Itachi shook his head. He can't eat a drink even if he tried to.

"Good!" Kisame grinned. "Let's go then."

Itachi didn't really like the fact that he was going to be impressed into the back of his seat. It wasn't the impression that bothered him, it was the fact that he had to be impressed. Which meant that it was not going to be a smooth ride.

Itachi heard the girl speak over the intercom.

"Alright, buckle up!"

Itachi didn't know what to think.

The other thing was, he and Kisame just had to be in the first…cart.

"Please keep all body parts inside…"

Itachi wish he could keep the body parts on the ground.

Maybe he could faint before the ride started, so he would feel a thing?

Tough luck. Half way through the thought, he felt a jolt, and they were on.

It was Itachi VS. The Big Scary Long Upside-Down Going Roller Coaster. Itachi the hunter, being hunted.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Itachi swore that there was an ocean of sweat in his seat after he left, shaking his knees…

…Of excitement.

Surprisingly, it was…what most people would say…A BLAST.

Sure, he still didn't like falling, for it was probably the only part he still hated with his life, he simply adored going up, and then taking those immensely sharp turns. Upside down wasn't all that bad, either.

The only part that he didn't enjoy especially was the part when he threw up. Yes, he barfed right after the wonderful joyride he semi-enjoyed so much.

He was very, very upset after a couple words he exchanged with Kisame while he tried to assist him. Or rather, what words Kisame just simply…gave him.

"I thought you knew you shouldn't eat, drink, or consume anything before you go on a roller coaster, Itachi-san…"

"…"

Ohohen: Right. Well, I finished this like…February…Seventh.

Aw...Damn. I submitted this too late. ): Sorry. I would have done it before, but I was in Hong Kong ever since June 11th, and just came back on July 12th. xD
