A/N Um... Since everyone asked for a sequel, I'm providing one. How good it is, though, is up for debate. --;;;
Naruto is not mine.
Teeth.
Really, really sharp teeth.
Naruto swallowed thickly and inched a little closer to Itachi – it meant getting a little farther from his partner's teeth.
"…" Itachi deadpanned.
"Oh, shut up," Naruto muttered back. "Just make him stop grinning at me like that – it's like he's gonna eat me or something."
"How d'ya know I'm not?" Kisame asked, still grinning toothily at the blond. Said blond twitched and scooted further into Itachi's personal bubble. Itachi, at least, had never looked at him like he was dinner.
"…" Itachi said sourly.
"Nuh-uh, he wants to eat me!" Naruto countered. And not in the fun way. 'Move over' his butt.
Itachi scowled expressionlessly at Kisame. The big blue man seemed to pout for a moment, then sighed.
"Fine, fine," Kisame lost the hungry look (or at least stopped considering Naruto his meal) and slumped back against the cavern wall. The Uchiha's scowl-but-not-really shifted to Naruto, and the blond slid back out of his space.
All went quiet. Naruto, for his part, hadn't the slightest idea how he'd managed to get trapped with Itachi again, much less how Kisame had ended up with them, but he was pretty sure it wasn't his fault this time. And he hadn't needed a definition for the word armistice this time, either. Ha.
…Kisame was studying him like he was a meal again. Naruto inched away nervously. The shark-man grinned.
"WAAAHHH!! ITACHIIII!! HE'S TRYING TO EAT ME AGAIN!!"
