The sun rose peeking through the window with excitement for the day ahead of us woke me as I tiredly opened my eyes. I slowly stood up on the blankets and started to fold them. My gaze then rests on Itachi as I dropped the blankets where I had originally found them. His face was so cute and calm; I think I turned a little purple from the sight. I reached for my bag and ruffled through it for some clothes then slowly got dressed.

"Kisame?" My movements came to a sudden halt. I didn't want to answer I just wanted to leave and get some food. But I slowly turned my head and looked at the teen.

"What is it Itachi-san?"

"…"

"Well, what is it?" I tried to sound a little annoyed to get a better response.

"It's something about what happened yesterday." He began. "Never mind, I'll tell you after the mission." He sighed deeply and stood up got some clothes then walked toward the bathroom. Man, was that strange, what did he want to say? GRRRRR my stomach started to feel neglected from the lack of food and was begging to be fed. Walking over to the bathroom I knocked softly.

"Itachi-san, I m going to find us some food, is there anything you might want?" There was a silence until I heard a flush. He opened the door and was washing his hands. He wiped them on the towel and looked at me straight in the eye.

"I want to come; you might not get what I asked for with that handicapped head of yours." He said narrowing his eyes in a disgust look. I paused, for his eyes once again stoned me. Those charcoal eyes looked in a different direction and walked toward his bag.

"Rude aren't we, fine, but anymore shit like that and you can pay for yourself." I made my way to my sandals slipping both on and walked toward the door. Until the sound of footsteps started to make its way to me fast. I turned to see Itachi grabbing my arm and twisting it behind my back and placing his feet between my legs. With my other hand free I summoned Samehada and when it had come close enough to Itachi, its spikes impaled him. Itachi gasped from the pain and let out a small grunt. His grip loosened which gave me time to pull both his arms behind him then push his chest into the wall. MY weight was over the teen, holding him back from resisting.

Itachi panted and my interest in harming him softened. So I let both his arms go and stepped back for him breath. His body was sore, cut, and weakened. For a small victory it seemed too easy. As I approached the boy, he darts up and flings me to my back with a loud thud. He stands over me with a warning stare.

"Kisame, you are going to listen to me and you are going to listen to me good. I'm not going to listen to a blue fat ass like you to boss me around. So you had better get your act together because I have been nice to you; no threats, no stealing, and I even had to answer your oh-so-annoying questions." He was about to say something else but I tripped him and pinned him down to the ground. He looked shocked like this was his first time hitting a floor.

"By nice, do also mean holding my hand?" I growled. The corner of his eye twitched and opened wider in surprise. Lifting myself I offered him my hand but was rough fully pushed aside. He picked himself up and walked toward the door, picking up his shoes he left the room. I stood there wondering what had happened. A sigh left my lips and I walked toward the door also. Itachi was no where in sight I wish I hadn't snapped at him, the mission was becoming more of a drag every minute. The near by clock in the hallway said 7:38, so that means me and Itachi will leave in an hour. In a small pace I made my way to the receptionist room where we had entered last night. The village was smaller than I thought but it had some restaurants that looked good. But my hunger was yearning for something original. A ramen shop.

I let myself in through the doorway and sat in one of their seperate tables they had. An old lady approached me and smiled sweetly.

"What would you like to eat sir?" She said with a smile. I looked at the menu and saw some shrimp ramen.

"I would like a big bowl of some of your shrimp ramen, please." I returned a sharky grin which made the old maiden blush. She then made a bow and left the table. I was so excited for my order to get here I could have nibbled on a few chop sticks. But as I was about to do so, I saw my little friend pop in through the door way. Uchiha Itachi. He looked around the restaurant and spotted me. He gave me a glare then watched as the old woman place the ramen in front of me. My gaze toward him moved to my food and I separated the chop sticks. I looked back up at Itachi who was starting to sulk.

I felt a little bad, I wasn't sure if he had any money on him. So I gestured him over and incredibly he did.

"We're going to have a tiring day, so order something so we can leave." He made a nod and sat across from me.

"Is there anything you might need sir?" The Lady came back and still had the smile on her face.

"Yes, please, I would like some chicken ramen." He looked back up at the lady and gave her a small smile. She nodded and walked off. My gaze at him hardened, I've never seen him smile, smirk, or any other expression that would involve a side of his lip moving upward. He looked back at me and gave me a look that said; 'Don't get use to it.' I smiled back and took a slurp at the ramen. It was very good and I didn't hesitate to take another bite. After a few minutes the lady came back and placed the food in front of Itachi. And the two of us started to eat in silence and I didn't like it.

"So, Itachi-san, wasn't there something you wanted to discuss with me earlier? About what had happened yesterday?" I said curiously. He nearly choked on his food and looked back up at me with some juice running down his chin. I handed him a napkin and waited for him to continue. He sighed.

"Did that make you feel… uncomfortable?" The way he said 'uncomfortable' gave me a chill.

"Why? What's this about?" I didn't want to know what this was going to lead to.

"Just answer the damn question."

"No, not really. Why?" I waited for a couple of minutes and got nothing. My attention snapped at the clock, it was 8:02. "You can tell me later, we need to finish eating." His face still had a blank look and he looked down at his food and continued to eat. I did so too I was still very hungry. But as I was about to eat a clump of noodles, Itachi placed his foot between my legs. The noodles that I had picked up slopped in the bowl. He started to move his foot and holding in a pant I looked back up at him to see him watching me squirm. He had a light blush across his face and when he was satisfied he removed his foot and began to eat the last of the ramen.

Feeling some what violated, I moved a bit toward the edge of the seat and finished my food. The lady then came to the two of us and handed us the bill. We barely ate as much as we should have but I wanted to leave the awkward situation.

I shuffled through my wallet and found some money and placed it on the tray that had came with the bill. We walked past the counter and waved the old lady good bye and headed toward the hotel. It was a quiet walk, we both had a good distance of 3 feet between us. I still didn't know what to think of him, was he really what i think he is? My heart began to beat, I didn't know what to think. Should I ask him? Or should I just ignore it? But my thoughts were interupted when Itachi grabbed my collar and threw me in a near by alley.

The scene made me think he was about to jump on me and start to make out with me. But his hand covered my mouth and he motioned me to the three ANBU walking through the street. There heads moved side to side, probably looking for us two.

"We will go through the alley till there is a dead end, then jump the rest of the way to the hotel." He removed his hand and lent a hand to me. I gladly accepted it and we both continued down the narrow path. He was infront of me while i was in back. Every step was loud and had a long pause after passing each trash can and broken beer bottles.

I thought It would go on but we suddenly came to a graffiti wall that blocked the path. The young Uchiha jumped from the right wall to the left making his way up farely swiftly. When he was finally at the top I did the same thing. I jumped on the edge and we stood there staring at eachother until I stepped off and walked past him. He followed me and the two of us jumped from one building to another. As we approached the window of our room i saw a small snake slithering on the glass begging to be let in. It was one of Orochimaru's message carriers, I sneered at the reptile.

Landing on my feet, I picked it up and did a release jutsu on it. In a puff of smoke it had transformed into a scroll. My blue hands unraveled it and read the message.

-Kisame

You and Itachi are to wait the next day to pick up the Shinobi from Takigakure. His new location will be at the library and will be wearing the Akatsuki Cloak. Sorry for the delay, the ANBU are becoming very annoying and because of the next konoha chuunin exams there will be more about.

-Sir Leader

My eye twitched as I handed the scroll to the young Akatsuki. He reads it hasitly like he did to the last one. Stupid bastard. Why cant he just make his mind and let us finish this mission. He's making it worse for us and himself.

"Fire Style, Firefly no jutsu."(1) I turned behind me to see him burn the evidence with a small flicker of fire. It was a good thing too, for if the ANBU were to find it we would be in seriouse trouble. His hand tipped to one side to let the ashes blow away by a soft breeze. I smile and open up the window and motion him in. He was on his feet and jumps a high distance right through the window without harming anything. I then make my way inside and I see Itachi sitting on a chair. Looking around I spot the bed across from him and seat myself upon it. His head jerks up and we look at eachother for a while. We've been staring at eachother ever since we left the hideout. I had to know what he was trying to tell me.

"So are you going to tell me what that was all about?" I said in a serious tone. And of course he was still emotionless.

"What are you talking about, Kisame?" He looked at me with a dull expression. Did he want me to say it? 'Why were you trying to give me a hard-on?' I couldnt help but chuckle to myself from the thought.

"Why were you behaving like that when we were in the restraunant?" There was long pause. He stood up and walked towards me and sat himself on the bed also. His hips were next to mine and gave me the urge to scoot over, but I had manners and stayed.

"Do you really want to know?" He said in a defencless voice. I let out another one of my smiles.

"It would be nice to know that way we can focus on the task at hand." He lets out a sigh and begins.

Sorry for the delay I'll upload the chapters as fast as I can. My computer lost internet and had to be patient for it to be back on. And yes, I know that this is kinda bad but as I continued to write more chapters they start to become a little better. So, enjoy! I'll to keep it in character and the story more 'factual'. Please Review! The more reviews, the more I'll write/type.

(1) Fire Style, Firefly no jutsu- Lol i know, i know there is no such thing. just play along.XD
