JK: Well, bear with me, folks. A friend is really upset because another's been stabbing her in the back for years, and she now just found out. My funny meter's running low, but it's still high because we're getting that no-good bitch back tomorrow! BTW, cip drew another pic! It's of Ita in the outfit that scared the crap out of Kisame (It's on deviantART). Go see it! It's amazing!!

To Fuhrer Sakura Taisen (Hekun) (Heh-Kuun) - Is that okay? Hekun? Just messed with your name a tiny bit :) BTW, 'Samehada' means 'Shark Skin', or what they call Kisame's sword in the manga/Jap. anime.

To my sweetie cip-chan - Love the pic! As always. :) I look forward to your next one!

To Chipmunk-Chihuahua Hybrid - I hate history! I only updated 'cause my boyfriend didn't call and we normally think of ways to give Ita a bad day (helps my story), so I plugged an idea in myself.

To t.A.T.u Crazi - She'll only be there for a moment, but her name's Osore. Thxs for the info. Oh, yeah. 'Samehada' (shark skin) is what they call Kisame's sword in the manga/Jap. anime. That's why he got such a kick out of it. Ita's threat: Well, mainly he's saying he's going to punch Kisame by using a pun. Then Kisame retaliates with a pun of his own. (the 'smarting ass' comment)

To Anro - Glad you like it, Anro! Sorry, I can't get a Gaia. If I did, I'd probably stop using this lovely site! (gasp) Well, here you go, namihazure no (special/extraordinary), hoshi (star), ookami (wolf), and they didn't have 'leopard' sorry. :'( Oh,well. Have fun!

To swordzoro - Yah, well, he's mainly trying to annoy Kisame for revenge, but stops when threatened. Glad you like his OOCness!

To NamimiNakashima - Made your day? I'm so happy!

To ExplosiveNoteNinja - I sent some ice for you, 'member? Yes, damn the American censorship, and do you call your brother 'Foolish Little Brother'? I have a friend who does that and it drives his brother nuts!!

To moonshieblade - Yes, very cute!

-Ichiraku Ramen , 8 a.m.-

Naruto charged to the ramen shop, muttering something about his alarm clock and Sasuke. He was startled to see Sakana waiting for him.

"Good morning, Naruto-san." he greeted.

"Good morning, Uo-san!!" Naruto called. Sakana smacked his forehead.

"Sakana."

"Uo, Sakana, they mean the same thing!"

"Ugh!!" Sakana groaned. "Uo is fine, as long as you don't screw my name up anymore!"

"Can I keep guessing?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Let's go!" Naruto grabbed Sakana's hand and dragged him behind. "This is the Academy!" he crowed, reaching said destination.

"Very large." Sakana commented.

"Kakana?"

"No."

"Darn it!"

-Hot Springs-

"Pervy Sage and I sometimes come here to relax after training!"

"I love the water."

"I can tell. Mm...Sake?"

"What?!"

"Oops."

-Stone Faces-

"I love to graffiti here!"

"Wow. Don't you get in trouble?"

"Sure do! Uh, Sabaku?"

"Way off. Think MIST Naruto, not SAND."

"Kiri?"

"NO."

-Park-

"We'll rest here." Sakana decided. "But why was this our last stop, Naruto-kun?"

"Because I love the park!" Naruto answered cheerfully. "Chidori?"

"What the-?!"

"Apparently not."

"NO." Sakana groaned.

"Hey, want some ice cream?"

"I guess."

"What flavor?" Naruto asked, going through his wallet.

"Chocolate."

"Be back soon!" And the nuisance left. Sakana sighed deeply, then pulled his scarf over his mouth.

(This is harder then I thought.) he mentally groaned.

"I'm back!" Naruto handed Sakana his ice cream. "Eat it before it melts!" The two ate in contented silence, and when they were done, it was time to go home.

"I...had fun, Naruto-kun." Sakana said, smiling.

"I'm glad you did! I'll see you tomorrow, Macarena!"

"WHAT THE HELL?!?!"

-Itachi and Kisame's hotel room-

"I'm home!" Itachi called, taking his shoes off.

"Oh?" Kisame looked up from his newspaper. "How was it?"

"Macarena?" Itachi asked. "I understood a few, but Macarena? Are you laughing?"

"Pfftt..." Kisame bit his lower lip. "Trying not to."

"I'm going to BED!" Itachi stormed into the bathroom to change.

"Whatever, Itachi-kun."

-Next Day, In a Cafe-

Sakana was sipping his hot chocolate while Naruto kept trying to guess his name.

"Saka?"

"Close."

"Teresa?"

"Uh...No."

"Sally?"

"Why all the girl's names?"

"I dunno."

"Can I get you two anything else?" their waitress asked. She wasn't very tall, but looked like she meant business for someone so young. Her nametag read "Hello, my name is Osore." and written next to it in her own writing said "Now f--- off!!"

"A mallet." Sakana said. "I'm gonna smash his head in if he gets my name wrong again!"

"Sure thing." Osore said, walking off. Sakana glanced at her as she walked away.

(Punk chick, eh? Not bad.) he thought. (Not bad. But I don't have time to think about that. Besides, if I brought her home, Kisame would have a fit. Though that would be interesting...nah. Don't want another spanking if I can help it.)

"Here's your mallet." Osore handed him a mallet.

"Chica?" Naruto guessed.

WHAM!!!

-Park-

"I still don't see why you hit me, Uo." Naruto complained.

"Well, I do have some good news." Sakana said. "My dad told me we'll probably be staying a little longer then he'd expected."

"Really?"

"Don't get your hopes up, Naruto-kun. I'm not sure."

"Well, I have an idea! Come hang out with me and my friends tomorrow!"

"What?"

"Yeah! I'll pick you up at your room, and I'll introduce you to my friends!"

"Are you sure they won't think I'm weird?"

"Weird, Uo? You look like a shark, yeah, but we're all nutjobs!!"

"R-Really?"

"Yeah! No one will care!" Naruto continued happily.

"Well, I'll have to ask my dad. I'm sure it'll be okay!"

"Then we'll exchange addresses!"

"Alright..."

-Itachi and Kisame's hotel room-

"I'm home!" Itachi called. "Kisame?"

"Itachi! Shut up! I'm trying to sleep!" Kisame called back.

"Sorry..." Itachi whispered, quickly getting changed and slipping into bed next to Kisame (It was a one-bedroom place, and the woman at the front desk's excuse was 'Well, you ARE father and son, so it shouldn't bother you.')

"How'd it go?"

"Kept screwing up my name. We decided on 'Uo' until he can get it right."

"Uo, huh?"

"Don't get any ideas."

"I'm not. I'm just saying, it's cute."

"...Dear God, what have I done?"

"Nothing. It'd better stay that way."

"Well, he wants me to meet his friends. He's coming to pick me up tomorrow."

"That's another step in our mission."

"I know." Itachi snuggled close to Kisame to aggravate him. "Good-night, Kisame."

"Good-night." Kisame pushed Itachi away. "Uo-chan."

"GOD DAMMIT, KISAME!!"
