Hey, Kris here with a new chapter. I want to remind everyone again like in my previous chapter: There is man love for Kisame but it's really minor, not even kissing. Just hitting on and winking. Also, please don't feel offended by the title of this chapter. If you're a dude that likes pink stuff or whatever, woot for you! Now...the regular stuff. I don't own Naruto though I have fun writing chapters for this story. The text in italics is thoughts, yaddah, yaddah, hm. Okay! On with the chapterrrrrr!

Being desperately bored, he began to tap his fingers against the iron handle of the shopping cart, causing random tunes to sound. They went from random rhythm to the beat of the opening song to his soap opera. As he did, he looked ahead of him to see what could have been taking so long. Leaning to the left, then to the right to get a better view of what was going on, he caught the eyes of the cashier staring at him. Surprised by the sudden eye contact, Kisame's head dropped down, breaking the contact. Figuring it was nothing; he carried on tapping his fingers against the bar. The person ahead of him moved up and began to put her things on the conveyor belt. Slowly, Kisame also moved up and thanked the lord when he noticed that the woman only wanted to buy a few things.

She worked quickly as all her items were already on the belt and she pushed her cart forward again to the end, where she could bag her groceries after they got scanned. As she moved, Kisame also moved and began to un-load his groceries onto the belt. With so many items to unload, it annoyed him to think he'd just have to bag everything in the end. When he got halfway through everything, he paused and waited until there was more room on the conveyor belt to continue. While he was waiting, he watched the items gets past along, into the cashier's hands, scanned and then placed back down onto the second belt. Looking up to see how much everything was coming out to, he bumped into the eyes of the cashier again but he just continued moving his eyes to the screen.

Putting more items on the belt, he began to think, "Why does he keep staring at me?" and noticed that it was slowly becoming annoying. In his mental rage, Kisame picked up the speed and was quickly done unloading the cart and pushed it forward to the second conveyor belt. During this, he spotted the ring sporting a fiery red color but never bothered to think anything of it. Red was a nice color anyway and it went very well with the Akatsuki cloaks.

Kisame walked back in front of the cashier and waited for him to finish so he could pay. He didn't want to wait long since he wasn't much of a fan of the man scanning his items because of the constant staring. Seeing that there was still a long line of items to be scanned, Kisame looked up at the monitor that kept track of what was scanned, the prices of the items and the total so far. Every beep meant a new item was scanned, making the list grow longer and the total get bigger. Already feeling bored; he took a curious look around and saw a beautiful woman in the next cash register. She had shiny brown hair to her elbows and emerald green eyes that Kisame stared at with a smile. Her skin was fair and she had the perfect nose to match her heart-shaped face. Slowly, a blush erupted over his face but he didn't notice. She seemed to have been getting her register ready, going through the mini computer, making sure there was enough bags for the customers to pack their groceries with.

The cashier must have mistake Kisame's blush and staring for himself than the brunette cashier that was behind him. He, too, began to smile and an equal blush made it's way over his cheeks.

"So, I'm Mori." the cashier started with a smile

Kisame only half-heard what he was told since so much attention was on the gorgeous woman. "Yeah..."

"Do you shop here regularly?"

"Yeah..."

The conversation was a slow one but still a conversation. As Mori continued to scan the items, he looked down to the ring on his customer's finger. It was a glowing pink that matched Kisame's dreamy blush. Spotting the pink ring, Mori assumed something and then took the dive.

Looking back up at Kisame, he asked, "...You single?"

"Yeah..."

"Lookin' for someone to go out with? I know a person who'd like a hot ass like yours."

"Yeah..."

"How 'bout we go out some time then?"

"Y-...Wait. What the hell!?!"

Mori's question seemed to have made time stop. Kisame stared at him with a look of horror and confused as his ring bounced into dark orange.

"Come on, handsome. You won't regret it." he said seductively with a wink.

"I don't go that way so stop right now and hurry up!" Kisame ordered, eager to leave the supermarket even more now. It wasn't that he hated gays he just wanted to leave. Honestly, he didn't care what they did as long as they didn't hit on him or ask him out.

After that, there was an awkward silence, the usual supermarket sounds randomly breaking in. It calmed him down a little but then with a look up to the monitor beside Mori. He must have taken it as cue to respond and that's just what he did. "Oh, someone's dominant! I like that! Any other things I should know about?" he whispered to Kisame as he rang up the last item.

Not even bothering to answer, he quickly made clones to pack the groceries into the bags while he stood to pay. "Your total is $254.95 and my phone number i-," he explained before money being thrown in front of him cut him off. "Take it!!" Kisame said quickly, not even bothering to count how much he gave the man. Rushing forward to be with his clones, he rushed some hand signs and poofed back to the base.

"Thank-you, my love!" Mori called out with a hyper wave.

Now, Kisame was back in the safety of his home and put away the groceries. He was still rushing though, the memories of what happened with Mori playing through his mind. When he was done, he separated the extras that the others wanted. A bag or two for each other with their requested items inside. Finishing with a sigh, Kisame stretched and hurried to see his soap opera.
Leaping into the common room, he saw Konan was there watching television. "Did it start yet?" he asked as he took a seat beside her. She shook her head, "No, not yet. You made it just in time though." This had to be one of the good parts about the group, because of so many people in it; you were bound to find someone who likes the same show as you do.

The ending song began to play while the two continued to talk. "What took you so long? I was afraid you got sidetracked by the fish at the pet-store again." Konan said, turning her head to Kisame. He didn't answer but sat in silent. "Yeah. I did take longer than I wanted," he began with a little discomfort in his voice, "The cashier was hitting me on and wanted to go out with me."

"Really? What'd you say?" she asked with a smile, hoping Kisame picked up a new girlfriend.

"I said I didn't go that way." he simply answered and left Konan in silence. It took a while for this to go through her mind. Wasn't Kisame straight? "What do you mean yo-oh. It was a guy?"

"…Uh-huh"

"Ah! It's okay! Don't feel bad!"

All he did was nod as if saying, "Yeah, I guess..." and stand up from his seat at the couch. "Your stuff is in the living room. I'll be back. Call me when it starts." he told her and went to his room to change.

He had on his hanging-out clothing but left the ring on his desk as Kisame left his room and went down the hall. On his way to the common room, he bumped into Itachi...literally. "Sorry, Itachi." he apologized but only got a dazed nod in return.

"Kisame, you have any glue that I could use?" he asked.

"Yeah, it's in my room. Why do you need glue anyway?"

"The painting in my room keeps falling down."

He wanted to remind Itachi that paintings usually hang on walls themselves by a nail and that glue isn't needed. "Okay bu-" he started but got cut off; "Thank-you" Itachi nodded and made his way to Kisame's room. Watching, he figured he could get the glue himself and went to the common room. Who couldn't miss a white bottle with light green and red on it?

Taking a step into Kisame's room, Itachi looked around. "Damn. Should have asked where he has it." he scolded himself but went to his desk first. Seeing nothing that looked like glue, he began to run his hands over the objects on the desk to make sure. This was one of the times he felt like a fully blind person instead of a half blind one.

Pushing his hand over the wood, he shoved the ring onto the edge of the desk and then onto the floor. Itachi didn't even notice and eventually, he gave up on searching the desk. Taking a step to turn around, his foot landed on the ring and he cried out in pain. "Damn him for eating so many God damn cookies and leaving the fucking crumbs everywhere!" Itachi swore with pain almost instantly. Bending down to see how bad the damage was on his foot, he saw the gray ring and curiously picked it up. Staring at it, he wondered, "Huh, look at this. Must be something he randomly picked up while being outside. Kisame probably doesn't even like this stuff." and he put it in his pocket. "Gray looks better on me anyway."

Going threw the draws of the desk, he found the glue and took it with a smile. "Now I'll show that Note From Death painting who's boss!" Itachi thought to himself as he slid the draw closed. Standing up straight, he went out into the hallway and to his room. While on his way, he stopped to cry and swear in pain again. The culprit: a cookie crumb.

Tee hee. I admit that I had fun toying with him, hm. Now, you all know the next victim of the ring...Itachi! His misfortune is already planned out, just waiting to be typed and put up. Hopefully, I won't get lazy or kidnapped by school work and such. Random news...I went out this weekend and my parents wanted me to wear a hat. I hate hats, hmmmm!!! Freeeeedom! Anyway, hugs to all!
