Little Sharkling
Small pale blue hands kneaded the grass along the edge of the river she sat along. She smiled happily before standing up and running along the river. Small fish swam in the running water beside her as she giggled holding her arms out. Blonde hair was carried by the wind as the small child gave a cry of joy and jumped off a small hill diving into the water happily. She loved the water so much; she always felt so at relaxed and happy when she was in the water. Her giggles rang in the air as she splashed and giggled around swimming with the fishies unknown she was being watched. The green eyed mist ninja eyed the girl quietly with disgust; removing a shuriken from his holster. "Traitor spawn-" was all that the ninja uttered before his eyes glazed over, a kunai imbedded in his back digging straight through his heart. Black eyes stared past the body at the little girl swimming in the river, removing his kunai from the ninjas' body and sheathing it back in his pouch.
Kasumi giggled and splashed water into the air happily, before hearing a loud thump of something landing behind a bush. Big dark blue eyes looked over curiously at the bush where she heard the thump before she swam over towards said bush. Just as she was about to take a peek at what was behind the bush, a hand rested itself on her shoulder startling her. Blue eyes met black as Kasumi turned her head looking at the tall man in front of her, "Hello" She smiled softly before stepping back to get a good look at the man in front of her, he was very tall and had the same blue colored skin that she had. He smiled and showed razor sharp teeth, causing Kasumi to smile brightly back at him showing her own baby sharp teeth, with a few missing here and there. "You have teeth like me!" She giggled happily as she skipped around him some curiously. Kisame smiled down at the little girl and chuckled, "I do, and you're so full of energy" He commented. She nodded looking at his Samehada as she continued to babble, "Mama told me that a lot too, she called me her little mermaid!" She giggled, Kisame watching the child, "where is your mother?" He asked moving his Samehada out of the way so she wouldn't be injured; Kasumi looked up at the sky and smiled brightly pointing upwards, "Mama lives in heaven with Papa I never met Papa".
Kisame smiled softly at the little girl, admiring her features; her blonde hair was long almost to her waist, contrasting with her pale blue skin and dark blue eyes, two little gill- like slits adorned her cheeks as she smiled brightly at the sky. "Come come!" She giggled as she tugged onto his black and red cloak taking him towards the river, "Swim with me!" She giggled happily before diving into the river once again and swimming around happily. Kisame chuckled before removing his cloak and weapons before diving into the water with her. Kasumi giggled and splashed him in the face before diving back into the water; Kisame chuckled before diving under after her and tickling her under water causing her to squirm and hold back her giggles before they both swam to the surface where she erupted in fits of giggles causing Kisame to hold her up.
A tree branch snapped causing Kisame to turn sharply to miss a kunai that was aimed at his head. Kasumi screamed from the sudden attacks that were being thrown at them, clinging to the man she just met. Kisame held onto the little sharkling tightly before performing a jutsu and diving them down into the water again. Kasumi held on tightly holding her breath as long as she could but couldn't take it too long and forced herself away from Kisames' hold and swimming fast to the surface. Taking in big gulps of air as she broke the surface, but as she looked around she was shocked and scared, around her were about 20 ninjas from the Mist village, their weapons at the ready to attack her. "Demon Spawn!", "Bastard child of a traitor!", "Disgusting Freak!" So many names were shouted at her as they all came into attack, her blue eyes dilated in fear and confusion. "Freak…? Demon..?" The words registered in her mind and clicked something inside her mind. Hand seals started to form underwater from Kisame but they were unnecessary as Kasumi's eyes dilated till there was no blue, just pure black and her hands started moving at a fast speed for a young child before she shouted the name of her jutsu and everyone was pushed back by a wave of water that formed, the small fish she had swam with earlier had grown into adult sharks and were devouring the ninja who dare threaten their master.
Kisame swam up behind Kasumi placing a hand on her shoulder and pulling her close, jumping out of the water as he did so and shielded her eyes from the bloody massacre she had created. "Shhhhhh" Kisame cooed as he picked her up holding her against him as he retrieved his weapons and started to run off. "I'm not a freak…" She whimpered into his chest as she held on tightly. Kisame continued to run; changing his grip when he felt her falling asleep in his arms until he reached back to the Akatsuki base.
Sighing softly to himself he wrapped his cloak around Kasumi and started walking to his room, "KEIKO!" Kisame turned his head and saw two dark haired preteens running down the hallway one catching sight of him armed with a Katana, Kisame held pulled his Samehada into a defensive position holding Kasumi protectively to his chest. A smaller young girl ran towards the two boys and the one started to chastise her and look over her for any kinds of injuries. Itachi walked next to him looking at the three children in front of him, causing Kisame to chuckle some "Itachi your brats are already trying to kill me. Heh just like their father", that caused the one to look at him sharply "What are you talking about." Kisame just stared at Itachi for little "You didn't tell them?" Itachi shook his head no causing Kisame to chuckle, there was a small rustle under his cloak as Kasumi started to wake up from all the commotion around her, "shhh go back to sleep we're almost there" Kisame whispered quietly before proceeding towards his room.
Kasumi woke up in a small purple bed with the man she was swimming with earlier sitting at a desk sharpening some kunai. "I see your awake" Kisame smiled to the girl making her smile back, she couldn't help smile when he did, his teeth were the same as hers so she knew he wouldn't make fun or be scared of them. "Where am I?" She asked curiously as she walked over to him, Kisame put down the wet stone and his kunai and turning towards her more. "Have a seat lil mermaid" Kasumi sat down on his thigh as he pulled out a small worn out looking book, opening it she saw a picture of her mother and pointed "That's Mama" Kisame nodded and continued to flip the pages, showing little Kasumi growing up and even one when she lost her first tooth. "You see, Your Papa never really died, I just needed to go away to keep you and your Mama safe." Kisame said placing a hand on Kasumis' head, "Your Mama was kind enough to make this for me as you grew up, but now, I'm here to take care of you my little mermaid" He told her gently as Kasumi shook slightly in her Papas grasp, so much ran through her brain before she turned around tackling Kisame off guard and onto the floor. "Papa!" She cried into his chest as she let out her joy and sorrow.
Kisame rubbed her back gently and stroked her hair, "Shhhh, it's ok" Kasumi cried until her tears were all dried up. "….Papa?" He heard her croak quietly, "Yes Kasumi?" She sniffled a little before sitting up some, "Can we go swimming Papa?" She asked causing Kisame to let out a bellow of laughter, "Of course, my little mermaid" He chuckled at her before sitting her on the ground and holding his hand out to her, his big blue hand enveloping her smaller one as the shark-like duo made their way towards the pond outside the base to start their father-daughter bonding.
