We arrived at the base and when we entered Kakuzu faced the blond.

"Follow me, we have to go and get your files done." Kakuzu's voice was very sulk, probably because he was still embarressed by Hidan.

"Damn, I hate files." Hidan sulked too. I watched the two head for Leader's office and noticed Konan walk out.

"Hello, I m Konan, Pein's partner, you must be Hidan. Pein has been waiting for the two of you." She made a bow and walked down the hall. You could hear Hidan's comment on Konan's looks down the hall, which probably made Kakuzu sulk even more. Konan stopped in front of me and gestered me down so she can whisper something.

"Itachi's been a little unsocial lately..." She whispered.

"Tell me something I dont know." I began to walk away but was pulled back.

"He doesn't report to us when there's a mission and doesn't even come to dinner." She paused for a moment and looked around. "I think it's because of you." Because of me?

"Is that all that happened." I became more interested.

"Orochimaru left the next day after you did. He was trying to take control over Itachi, but something happened between the two."

"Who told you what happened?"

"Itachi, he explained why he left." We both stood there. I sighed.

"I guess I'll go talk to him."

"Thanks, He now has a mission he needs to complete in this week." She smiled a coy smile and bowed then walked into the kitchen. I was excited to go see him but nervous and not to mention scared. I started for our room but then Zetsu came walking in.

"Hey, Zetsu-san!" I grinned at him. I forgot he even lived here(1). The black and white figure walked up to me. There was definitly a height difference.

"Hello Kisame." He nodded. "Anything happen when we were gone?"

"Well, we got two new members and..." The two of us looked toward Itachi's door to see Kakuzu walk out. (How the hell did he get there?) It didn't seem like he noticed the plant and I, and walked toward his room.

"Is that one of them?" "Wonder what he tastes like..." I gave them a nervous grin.

"So where were you guys?" The yellow eyes focused back on me.

"We had a mission that involved following 8 different guys at one time."

"Did you get the information?"

"Not all of the information, apparently fucking woman was more important." Good ol' Zetsu. "We need to report to Leader, We'll talk later." He bowed then walked down the hallway. My attention focused on Itachi's door. The Uchiha poked his head out and looked around till he noticed me. He had a sorrowful expression and he pointed me to come into his room. I walked toward him and entered his room. His skin was alot paler and he was wrapped around in a blanket. he nevously looked up at me.

"Itachi you should really go get something to eat." He was silent, the bags around his eyes were visible when I let some light in. "I'll go get you something." I ran my fingeres through his greasy raven hair. "And go shower." I smiled softly at the teen who nodded in agreement. I walked back to the kitchen where Konan was cooking dinner. There was dango, rice, and fish.

"O Kisame, have you talked to Itachi yet?"

"No, not yet, I came in here to get some food for him."

"Help yourself, you might as well get some for you while it's hot." She turned back to he work with her ocean hair following her movements. I grabbed two plates full of food and started to walk back to the room. When all of a sudden Hidan dashed out of Kakuzu's room with him screaming at the blonde. Hidan spotted me and hid behind my back and Kakuzu stopped in front of me.

"Kisame, whats that fuckers problem!?" He gave me a surprized expression.

"Depends, what did you do?" I was mistaken about Hidan's personality.

"I asked if I could borrow some money to buy some booze but this crazy fucker got pissed off when I touched his breifcase. Fuck! This guy is fucking loaded and he could at least fucking share!" I looked up at Kakuzu who had a blush on his face and an expression of neglect. Itachi was also staring too, from his room. I moved behind Hidan and kicked him so he fell on Kakuzu.

"What do you want me to do about it?" I watched the two struggle to get up and headed for Itachi. I handed him the plate and closed the door then sat on my bed. He was already done with his shower and stared at the plate in a towel. I began to eat the fish and watch Itachi stand in the middle of the room...In a towel. My face warmed up and looked away to think about something else.

"What happened...when I was gone?" Itachi twitched and placed the food on his desk. He went through his drawers and found some clothes. Then stood up and dropped the towel to the floor. I choked on my food and watched him as he put on his boxers, shirt, and pants on. When he had finished he picked up his plate and sat next to me on the bed.

"Orochimaru left." He said coldly then took a bite of his rice. I paused.

"I know, Konan told me."

"Kisame...?" I perked up and looked back at him.

"Yeah, Itachi?" He stared deeply at his food, his eyelids slowly became heavy. He closed them and a blush crept over his nose.

"Dont leave me..." Then he slumped into his food and passed out.

(1) Zetsu- I forgot he was an Akatsuki XD
