Hi!
Sorry about the long wait for this chapter. I've been so busy lately with exams, transition and a camp. But it's finally here! 'The Adventures Of Kisame And The Kazekage' Chapter four. Thanks to anyone who has read up to this point. Well, I'll stop talking now.
Enjoy! :)
Chapter IV – The Castle Age in flashback: 10
"Kisame, what are you doing here?" Gaara sounded stunned at seeing his friend again.
"I came to see you, isn't that pretty damn obvious?" Kisame grinned.
"Well, you got me there", Gaara replied.
There was an awkward silence that lasted about a minute.
"So… How's life?" Kisame broke the silence.
"Well, I'm Kazekage. I stopped trying to kill everyone I met. I made some more friends when we were separated. I was killed and brought back to life. Yeah, pretty straightforward. You?" Gaara shrugged.
"Well, after we were separated, I became one of the legendary ninja swordsmen of the Mist. That grew boring after a while so I quit. After traveling around for a little while I joined Akatsuki. That's where I've been ever since", Kisame replied.
Gaara nodded and again there was an awkward silence.
"Well, this is boring. Have you got a board game? Deck of cards?" Kisame asked.
"Hey, remember when we attempted to make the world's biggest card castle?" Gaara asked.
"Oh yeah. That was pretty funny", Kisame laughed a little. Gaara grabbed a deck of cards from his drawer.
"Let's try again", Gaara smiled, opening the packet of cards.
It was a stormy day, and Kisame and Gaara weren't allowed to go outside and play because of this.
"I'm bored!" Kisame yelled.
"We could play cards", Gaara suggested.
"Good idea!" Kisame cheered and the pair walked into the lounge room.
Gaara went over to a cabinet and grabbed a deck of cards. The pair seated themselves so they were facing each other and Gaara shuffled the deck. He placed face down six cards in front of Kisame and did the same to himself.
"What are we playing?" Kisame asked.
"Go fish", Gaara replied.
"Are you kidding? There's got to be something else to do!" Kisame yelled again.
"What do you think we should do, then?" Gaara tilted his head to the side.
"Make a card castle!" Kisame replied, grinning. He picked up two cards and started to try and make them stand. After succeeding at that, he repeated the process by putting two more cards up next to the previous ones. This knocked down all of them.
"Gah!" Kisame was never really the patient type.
"Try again", Gaara encouraged. Kisame nodded and tried several more times, only making it up to the second step.
"It's not working!" He yelled, throwing the cards away from himself.
"Hmm…" Gaara stood up and went back to the cabinet he had gotten the cards from in the first place. He rummaged through until he found what he was looking for.
"What're you doing?" Kisame asked. Gaara smiled and held up the item. Kisame smirked when he saw what it was: A container of glue.
(One hour later)
There was glue everywhere. There was no card castle, just a heap of cards glued together in odd shapes.
"We should have thought this through", Gaara said after a while. He had a card stuck to his hand and one stuck to the side of his face.
"If your dad sees this, we are so busted", Kisame added.
"Unless…" Gaara trailed off.
"Yeah?" Kisame frowned. Gaara crawled over and whispered in his friend's ear.
"Good idea", Kisame smirked.
"Kankuro!" Gaara yelled out.
"Yes, little brother?" Kankuro walked into the lounge room.
"Could you hold this?" Gaara held out the glue container.
"Oh, no. What have you guys done!" Kankuro just noticed the state the lounge room was in and that both Kisame and Gaara were covered in glue.
"We were making a card castle", Kisame shrugged.
"Man, you guys are gonna be in so much trouble", Kankuro said. At that moment their father arrived home. Gaara quickly threw the glue at his brother's feet and started whining really loudly.
"Kankuro, stop being so mean!" He cried, pretending to wipe away tears. Kisame understood what he was up to and did the same. Their father heard the commotion and came into the lounge room quickly.
"What's going on here?" He asked, looking around.
"Kankuro's being mean!" Gaara (fake) sobbed.
"Go to your room, Kankuro!" Their father yelled.
"But I didn't do anything!" Kankuro complained.
"NOW!"
Kankuro bowed his head and trudged off.
"You two, go and get cleaned up", he said. Both Kisame and Gaara nodded and went to clean themselves up.
"That was fun!" Kisame cheered.
"And look, it's clear outside. We can go play!" Gaara laughed.
Kisame grinned and gave his friend a noogie.
Using their ninja skills, Kisame and Gaara managed to make a massive card castle that was in the centre of Gaara's office.
"Nice!" Kisame grinned.
"And this time, we didn't need to use glue!" Gaara smiled. Kisame nodded and patted Gaara on the back.
"Can you put up with me for a few days?" He asked.
"Yeah!" Gaara smiled happily.
Again, sorry it took so long to get this chapter out.
I personally have nothing against Kankuro, I just find it funny to blame him for things.
