"Talking."

(Me adding shit)

-

Kisame stood and watched the dead come back to life, His arms crossed and eyes narrowed. Personally, he thought that those who were weak enough to die should stay dead. They would just die again in the war.

But then Itachi stood and I felt even more hate course through my body.

He was weak, Madara had told me it all.

How he planned a mutiny against Madara, my former kage, how he wasn't really top in his class. How he only knew all those Jutsu's because Madara taught them to him. How he thought he was better than me. How Itachi talked bad about me.

Everything Itachi told me was a lie. And I hated him for it.

The orignal cells stayed, but I refused to room with him and slept in Kakuzu's room since we didn't have Hidan back in the Akatsuki. Atleast me and that old miser would get along, he actually had some power that he earned on his own. He had almost killed the first Hokage, and that Hokage had control over all the tailed beasts at that point in time. That was impressive.

Kakuzu wasn't in his room then though, he had gone off with Kabuto considering he had been buried the longest and fell the most prey to bugs. Kabuto had to fix him up.

Kakuzu was lucky he didn't get a fake body like Deidara's body, which was made out of earthly elements. Deidara's skin would always be cold, and he wouldn't ever bleed. He had organs, and spit, but his blood was like chakra. And if he ever got caught on fire he was screwed. Sure, being almost like a puppet was fine for Sasori because now both of them would never age, but Deidara was a bit more fragile. He couldn't just stick his arm back on if it fell off. Only Kabuto could fix him because he was the only one we knew who understood the jutsu. It gave him the upperhand over Deidara.

But I escaped from the war awhile ago with all that drama to travel in silence and peace. I was done fighting, everyone was dead or captured. Or atleast as far as I knew..

I saw them carry off Itachi, and I didn't do anything which I actually regret.. I had tried to when they took Kakuzu and Sasori, but otherwise I had failed. I didn't really deserve to fight anymore, even though I loved to do so. I had failed in the battle we worked so hard for. And my home village had changed, it was no longer known as the Bloody Mist village.. I heard it was like the Leaf village now, all sweet and weak.

Disgusting.

I couldn't go there at all, not now. I decided I would probably go off in the far corner of the Village Hidden in the Mountains. They had lakes there, so water wise I would be fine if anyone ever decided to attack me.

And that was were a was now, A house miles from town high up upon a mountain. It was a hard walk up, so I was almost sure anyone who wanted to bug me wouldn't want to bother with the walk. Plus, they would be looking for a Blue Shark man. I came to this village with a glamour, I had made myself look like an Uchiha with dark hair and onyx eyes. Everyone loved Uchihas.

My thoughts drifted to Itachi again. He had always been so uptight, and he didn't like fighting like I did. I think it was because he would lose more vision everytime he used his Sharingan. I shook my head and sat down on the edge of my couch, holding my coffee tight in my hand. Sure it was great living like this, not dead or locked up. I was free. But still.. I missed the excitement, and the joking idiots I had become friends with.

Things had become so twisted.

I almost even regretted being so cruel to Itachi. Almost. I still didn't appreciate his bull shit.

But then again, If I didn't forgive him, what kind of friend would I be?

-

I awoke to a knock on my door that could have woken up a whole city in the dead of night. Just who the hell..?

I put up my glamour and opened the door after throwing on a pair of pants. It wasn't my fault I slept in my boxers. It also wasn't my fault that this lunatic was fricken knocking on my door at an odd hour of the night. I looked to the clock on my dresser and scoffed. 5:34 AM.

Ridiculous.

I opened the door, to come face to face with Sasuke Uchiha, who seemed taken aback by my appearance.

"Who the hell are you? I thought a shark man lived here."

I pulled Sasuke inside the house and shut the door, locking it and dropping the glamour.

"What do you want, Sasuke? Itachi isn't here."

"You and I are the only remaining Akatsuki members other than Suigetsu. And he's gone off to do other things."

"So?"

"We need to finish the Leaf!"

I narrowed my blackened eyes and shoved him right back out the door. I might have missed the old life, but I was not so stupid as to fight off a landslide of villages with an angry kid and my nephew. Three against thousands? I don't think so. It was bad enough that Kabuto was killed off in the battle, and with that all this pawns died as well. Those who were brought back by Kabuto were so lucky as to still be alive after that. Apparently he had just revived them and hadn't decided to keep control.

"I'm not doing this, Sasuke."

And I slammed my door shut right in his face.

"Kisame!"

I crept back to my bedroom after locking the door and kicked off my pants before slipping into bed. I was not dealing with that shit.

Not today, Not ever.

Not again.
