I probably made Kisame OOC. He was probably like a little angsty brat in his past but I made him all cheerful because I CAN. Kisame can't be upset, I'll cry or something LMAO. Just a warning I guess. D:

Genre: Friendship? I don't know for this one, haha.

Pairings: None

Kisame meets a fiery red-head and a calm blonde while swimming. Chaos ensues.

"What the heck!?"

Kisame perked his ears up at the voices of the two newcomers; attentiveness took over his defences, but excitement coursed through his body.

The shark boy's sharp, blue head emerged from the water, the spikes in his hair refusing to flatten. He stared at his guests in awe for a moment as if he'd never seen another human being in his life. Maybe he could make some friends! His village had always been a herd of sheep. If someone avoids you, they'd influence other people to avoid you.

And the harsh cycle continues.

But he wasn't going to be depressed about it. No way. Maybe they were different. After all, they had the Konoha sign carved clearly on their headbands. Foreign ninja. Kisame grinned at them; all basic ninja training flew over his head. The first thought when faced with 'Foreign ninja' should be, 'Are they enemies?' Little Kisame's first thought was 'Potential friend.'

"I'm Kisame!"

The red haired teen shared a bizarre look with her companion before replying.

"…Why do you look like a fish?"

Kisame maintained his stare towards the foreign girl, his grin slowly dispersed from his now irritated features. They were obviously considerably older than him, just bordering on teenage years. The tip of his spikes probably just reached their shoulders. But it didn't mean he was weak! He could put up a good fight when he wanted, even if he was just seven.

"Not a fish," he began, waving a knowledgeable, blue finger through the air. "But a shark!"

Although Kisame was bullied and ridiculed for his appearance, he took pride in it. He'd have days where he'd be really low on self-esteem, but those were just blips in his childhood, and while most bullied children don't recognise this, Kisame did. He'd grow up to be the greatest shark ninja!

"…It's the same thing, twerp," the red-headed girl replied while smirking at Kisame.

He glared at the red-headed beauty in an attempt to be intimidating but the action backfired when a blush spread through the shark-boy's cheeks.

Kisame pouted while crossing his arms stubbornly. "Sh-shut up, Tomato!"

A large vein protruded from the girl's forehead before she made an impulsive leap towards the shark infant. Before she could do anything abrupt, a familiar hand gripped her wrist firmly.

"Stop it, Kushina," the blonde boy said, a calm tone maintained in his voice. Of all the insults the young shark could have picked, he had to go and call her that.

Kushina looked away in frustration, her arms dropped back to her sides. She hated that god damn nickname. It seemed to haunt her wherever she went. Normally she'd kick the guy's ass of whoever dared to refer to her by it but in this case she couldn't really beat up a little kid. Damn it.

"We're sorry," the older boy began, a small smile directed at Kisame. "We didn't think we'd be interrupting anyone here."

Kushina observed their whereabouts before giving her companion a stern look. They'd come all the way to the Hidden Mist on a stupid D-rank mission to deliver some stupid scroll on foot. They were entitled to a god damn soak! It's not as if they'd expected anyone to be here seeing as it was in the middle of nowhere.

"Minato," she growled, narrowing her eyes. "We're not leaving."

Kisame dipped his head halfway through the water; his curious eyes pondered the two newcomers thoughtfully. They were actually talking to him. Like he was a human! His grin was still visible through the azure water.

The shark-boy almost timidly lifted his head out of the water before regarding the two companions. "…You're not scared of me?"

The question caught the red-head off guard as her eye's widened slightly. "Who'd be scared of a brat like you?" Kushina finally announced and returned the boy's grin.

"I think you should be more scared of her," Minato murmured under his breath, but the other two still picked up on what he'd said.

"S-Shut up!" she snapped, splashing the blonde with a surge of water.

Kisame burst into a fit of giggles as the calm demeanour of the blonde morphed into a fleeting bewildered expression.

"Don't know what you're laughing at, kid!" His laughter was suddenly halted as water splashed against his face. As the blue-boy looked up, the red-headed girl sent a challenging stare his way.

"Did you just challenge a shark to a water fight?" Kisame grinned, discreetly performing water seals underneath the pool.

"Yeah, so wh-" Kushina was cut off as a substantial wave soaked her body completely before pulling her under the water. Re-emerging for gasps of air, she stared at the little boy incredulously.

"…W-What was that!?"

Minato let out a slight chuckle when he noticed Kushina's perplexed face.

Kisame grinned bashfully before scratching the back of his head. "I win!"

Spare a review? You can request anything! *w*

Kisame and the Mizukage next, ohohoho.

AND ALEX WHAT THE HELL, SHIKAAKAHIDAKISA? How. JUST HOW.

WAT!?
