JK: Here goes nothing!

To t.A.T.u. Crazi - Mmm...sorry, but I don't think I could really do anything with an O.C. TT.TT I hate saying no to fans, and I'm really sorry. I'm glad you think this is interesting. HEY! Wait, just give me a description and I'll stick them in the next chapter. But briefly.

To Fuhrer Sakura Taisen - No, I didn't kill him, but he had to clean the floors. He then called me a wuss for screaming (I didn't scream, it was more of "Ah!", y'know?) No, my plushie has not come in yet, but I know it's been shipped. :)

To my sweetie cip-chan - Oh, please, draw the pic and put it on DA!!

To narutoneji - No, I'm sorry. I was the mean one :'( Oh, nosebleed. I'm imagining that. Glad you liked the lipstick/eyeshadow!

To ExplosiveNoteNinja - More of a My Chemical Romance fan, if you ask me. Glad you made use of the ice! And yes, little siblings are a pain in the ass. If you ask my sister, she'll say big siblings only 'cause I do the 'Itachi Forehead Jab' to her.

To Deikuru - I feel just as bad, but wait until you see what I'm doing!

To NamimiNakashima - I'm happy you like my obnoxiously long -insert time here- thing. I'd have to run if Kisame went all 'Dad' on him! O.o'

To The-New-Akatsuki-Leader - Did you put it down? Phew, good. Okay, so yeah go rebel Itachi!!

"No." Itachi answered.

"Yes, Itachi-kun." Kisame said patiently, though it was running thin.

"NO."

"Itachi-kun..."

"NO."

"YES, Itachi." Kisame finished. "Argue with me one more time, and I'll spank you."

"Ugh!" Itachi stomped. "No fair!"

"Fair." Kisame shoved a bundle in his arms.

-Much Later-

"Kisame, I can't get the scarf on right!" Itachi complained, now under a genjutsu. Chuckling, Kisame flipped the scarf around Itachi's neck.

"There we go!" he grinned. Itachi pouted. The genjutsu had turned his skin lightish-blue, his hair dark blue, gave him the appearance of a thirteen-year-old, and sharp teeth. He was dressed in baggy blue jeans, a blue T-Shirt, and his black trenchcoat. A black and blue scarf was around his neck and the Kiri headband was on his forehead. "You're a chip off the block, Itachi-kun!"

"If you say that again, I'll knock your block off." Itachi said coolly, his voice rougher than normal.

"Don't be so smart Itachi-kun." Kisame warned. "The only thing that being a smart-ass will get you is a smarting ass. Get it?"

"Yeah." Itachi said sadly, seeing where this was going.

"Atta boy. Now, we'll have to think of another name for you..." the shark-nin leaned back in thought. "Maybe-Nah."

"Mmm...Sakana?"

"Fish?" Kisame snickered. "Appropriate."

"Or maybe-"

"Nah. Sakana's fine with me." he ruffled his 'son's' hair. "Sakana-kun." Itachi, or in this case, Sakana growled.

"It sounds so feminine!"

"Tough." Kisame ushered him out the door. "Be home by seven, Sakana-chan."

"But-I-Wait-!" Too late, Kisame closed the door. Itachi stormed away. Kisame, behind the door, chuckled softly. "Little brat."

-Ichiraku Ramen-

"And once I become Hokage-" Naruto ranted. Sasuke sighed impatiently and Sakura, who was busy having a fantasy involving Sasuke, mayonnaise, skinny dipping, Ino's head on a platter, and Rock Lee in a speedo, sighed as well.

"Umm...excuse me." A light but rough voice behind them said. They turned to see a young Kiri genin behind them, nervously hiding his face under a scarf, and wearing a black trenchcoat one size too big for him.

"Yes?" Sasuke asked, seeing as Naruto had ramen in his mouth and Sakura was still in her little fantasy.

"Umm...well, could one of you scoot over?" he asked softly, clearly on edge.

"Sure thing!" Naruto chirped, shoving Sasuke off the stool.

"Oh!" the boy gasped. Sasuke stormed off, Sakura following him with a shopping list that she was writing 'mayonnaise' on.

"Have a seat!" Naruto cheerfully helped the startled boy onto the stool that was just occupied by Sasuke.

"What can I get'cha?" the man behind the counter asked.

"Um...I really don't know." the boy said quietly. "I'm new here."

"Well, then, I'll just get you the same thing Naruto here's havin'!"

"Thank you."

"So, you're new here?" Naruto asked, happily slurping his ramen.

"Yeah. My father and I are from Kirigakure. We're spending the week here." the boy explained.

"Well, I'm Uzumaki Naruto! It's nice to meet you!"

"...I'm Hoshigaki Sakana." he whispered.

"Why are you so quiet?" Naruto leaned over in Sakana's face. "Why the scarf?"

"Sorry about the wait!" the man put a bowl of ramen down in front of Sakana.

"No trouble." Sakana lowered his scarf to reveal gills, blue skin, and sharp teeth.

"Whoa! You look like a shark! That's so cool!" the blonde chirped happily.

"It's...why I wear this scarf, Naruto-san." Sakana said, slurping his ramen.

"Wow!"

"Not really. I was teased during my Academy days."

"I was, too!"

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

"I don't know, Naruto-san. You don't seem to be that kind of person. You seem to be the...loved kind of person."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Hey, you said you're new here, right?"

"Are you deaf, or just slow?"

"A little of both!" Naruto said proudly. "How about I show you around Konoha?"

"You'd do that? For a freak like me?"

"Of course I would, Sankaka!"

"Sakana." Sakana corrected.

"Right, Sakana, sorry!"

"No problem. I'll have to ask Otou-san, though."

"Your dad?"

"Yeah. I'll meet you here tomorrow at eight a.m."

"See yah, Samehada!" Naruto called over his shoulder, charging toward his house.

"SAKANA!!!"

-Itachi and Kisame's hotel room-

"Kisame?" Itachi poked his head in the room. "I'm home."

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Yeah, I found Naruto at the ramen shop. He offered to give me a tour of Konoha tomorrow. May I?"

"Sure, if it helps the mission." Kisame replied, going back to his cooking. "It's weird, but I'm making pancakes for dinner. You still hungry?"

"Little bit."

"Okay, help me by setting the table, will you?"

"Sure." Itachi agreed. "The thing that gets on my nerves is, he keeps getting my name wrong."

"Really?"

"Yeah. First, it was Sankaka, which I can understand."

"Then?"

"Samehada." Itachi groaned. Kisame burst out laughing.

JK: So you don't get confused, whenever he's with Kisame, Itachi will be referred to as Itachi. With Naruto, he's Sakana, which does mean fish if my stupid Japanese Dictionary is right. Until next chappie, JK OUT!!
