Chapter 1

Never travel with Kisame. Never!

"Hey have you ever tried sushi before? They're very delicious! Your taste buds just seem to thrive with joy as you devour them. When I was back in the Hidden Mist, I use to catch fish all the time and turn them into sushi! And when I was a kid, I use to go around smacking people in the face with a fish and yelling "FEESH WITH PREVAIL! ALL HAIL THE FEESH SAMA!" and ran! Oh, the good ol' days." Kisame babbled on. Why is he so aggravating? Does he have any idea how idiotic he sounds? I was starting to get a headache from his nonsense. I let his voice fade in the background and started to wonder how Sasuke was doing now. Well, considering the fact that he's an Uchiha and that he has an angsty attitude, he probably has a 1,000 fan clubs by now. I started to think about the Akatsuki and how much of a "family" we're going to be. I'm sure a group of s-ranked criminals would make a lovely family. I sighed in hopelessness.

"Hey! Are you alright?" Kisame asked concerned. "I'm fine." I replied with a little annoyance in my tone. "Guess what?" Kisame questioned excitedly.

"What?"

"You know how they say 'fish out of water'? Well I'm litterally one of them! Ehh? Eh? Get it? I look like a fish but I'm not in water." he went on. "Honestly, Kisame, if I chop your teeny tiny penis off with that massive sword of yours, will you finally shut up?" I said with an innocent but threatening voice.

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry. I know my jokes sucks but I just thought that you are so young and you had to go through all that trauma…..I thought I'd try and make you laugh, Itachi chan." he replied with an apologetic voice.

"Who do you take me for? I killed them because I wanted to measure my capacity and because they were all useless. I'm more than meets the eye and you should know that. And was calling me Itachi chan really necessary" I said in a calm tone. "Well, we're friends so I'm going to call you Itachi chan whether you like it or not." he responded a little nervously. I gave him a hard glare and he looked away silenced. Finally, some peace at last. My headache was slowly receding. It was a hot day but luckily the forest canopy gave us shade and the cool wind flowed within the forest causing a soft hum with the rustling sound of the bright green leaves.

"Uh, Kisame?" I asked.

"Yeah?"

"How much longer until we reach the hideout?"

"We'll be there tomorrow afternoon." he replied with a laugh of amusement. What was so funny anyway? Was it something I said?

"We'll stop and rest for a bit over here." Kisame said looking at the gigantic water fall. The rush of the water was soothing to hear. "I really want to go for a swim!" he said taking off his clothes until he was only wearing his underwear. He jumped into the water and in the matter of seconds he was swimming like a fish, which wasn't so surprising. I took off my shoes and dipped my legs into the cool water. Suddenly a splash of water hit me.

"Come on! Come and swim it's so fun!" Kisame said swimming around.

"No thanks, I'm good." I replied angrily. I felt something tug my legs and in seconds I was under water. Kisame had pulled me in and he was right in front of me with a huge grin across his face. I swam up to the surface and stood on top of the water.

"Kisame, you idiot!" I spat frustrated. I got out of the water and sat by a tree shivering. Kisame came up to me with his Akatsuki cloak and put it over me like a blanket. "Sorry." he said and went back to swim.

I had to take off my clothes and cover myself up with Kisame's cloak. I hung my clothes on a branch and watch as the gentle wind blow them. This wouldn't have happened if Kisame wasn't such an ass.

"Hmm, maybe I should've soaked the cloak too…" Kisame said. He was sitting right in front of me. Rage swelled up inside me and the next thing I knew, he had a blue hand print on his face. I smacked him in the face for being such an ass.

"AHHH! What was that for? What did I do this time?" he protested rubbing his face.

"For being an ass!" I replied angrily with a glare. He started to mutter to himself and I wouldn't stop glaring at him.

It was night and I was finally back in my own clothes. Kisame had cooked fish for the both of us and we were well-fed. The fire was still burning hungrily in front of us.

"I'll take first watch." I said breaking the silence.

"Are you sure?" Kisame protested.

"Yes."

I lit out the fire and began gazing at the stars shining brilliantly at the clear night sky.
