Chapter 4. Kisame

Authors Note: Hey guys! Sorry this took so long. I've been really slacking with my writing lately. I will be trying to update more regularly! ^_^


Tobi must find someone soon! Or Tobi will never get any sleep! Tobi muttered to himself as he paced the hallways of the Akatsuki hideout.

Tobi has already seen Itachi and Zetsu, and Tobi knows Deidara Senpai would only try and use his art on Tobi… And everyone else is out of town except-

GASP!

Kisame!

Running over toward the Shark-man's room, stumbling over some belongings in the hallway as he did so, the masked-nin knocked fervently on the door.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Kisame! Kisame!" Tobi whispered.

No answer.

"Hmmm…perhaps Kisame is still sleeping. In that case Tobi will slowly come in, and make as little noise as a mouse!"

Opening the creaking door slowly, Tobi made his way through the dark room of the Kirigakure-nin as he shut the door behind him. Making his way across the room Tobi once again stumbled on belongings on the floor, making a quick, "Eeep!"as he hopped on one foot in pain. Looking through the dark, and through the small hole in his mask, Tobi squinted his eyes in search of Kisame. It seemed to Tobi that he had looked through the whole, dark room, and still no sign of Kisame, when suddenly he bumped into the shark man's bed.

Oh! Here's Kisame's bed! Tobi exclaimed happily to himself.

Making his way around the bed, Tobi leaned in as he whispered, "Kisame?...Kisame? This is Tobi, Kisame…Tobi was wondering if Kisame would mind Tobi sleeping here tonight? You see, Tobi got very scared after watching that scary film and Tobi is afraid to sleep by himself, so would Kisame mind if Tobi would sleep here tonight?"

No answer.

"Tobi will take Kisame's silence as a yes! Thank you Kisame! It means so much to Tobi!" Tobi exclaimed as he made his way to the other side of the bed, and snuggling under the sheets, went into a peaceful slumber.

…...

Kisame had been having a lovely dream about mermaids and tidal waves crashing through cities and the mermaid people taking over with him as their king. Oh yes…He was the king of ALL the sea people! That is until a strange evil began to take over… Huge, bright-colored bears with faces of pure goodness and rainbows on their stomachs began to take over his Atlantean city, turning everything in their path to rainbows and flowers, and smiling animals….No…It was too much to take…

Too…*twitich* much…

AHH! HE HAD TO LEAVE NOW! But how to get out? HOW WAS HE GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE!

ASP!"

Abruptly Kisame awoke with a start, beads of sweat trailing down his skin as he took in deep breaths.

What a nightmare, he thought, getting up from his tub. Looking down he noticed the water had all drained out from the night before. Not really caring for remaking his "water bed" all over again, he made his way out of the bathroom, and toward his bed. Although not as comfortable as the water, it was more comfortable than the hard tub. Crawling into bed, he pulled his blankets over his body, laid his head on his pillow, and blissfully began to fall asleep…That is, until he heard soft whimpers nearby. He didn't think anything of it, presuming it to be one of his teammates having some sort of childish nightmare. Those damn walls are so thin! Ignoring it, as he tried to fall asleep once again. Then heard it again. Slightly louder.

Kisame's eyes narrowed in annoyance. Due to his heightened awareness as a Shinobi, it would be difficult to ignore this. Damn in!

Pulling his pillow over his head, he tried to block out the noise. But to no avail. The noise only got louder.

And closer.

Wait a second…

Maybe it wasn't one of his teammates but some animal that got in.

*Whimper*

There it is again! Definitely close by. Possibly in my very room...I'll kill that beast, whatever it is…Kisame showed a toothy grin as he got up from his bed and walked around to the other side.

I know the sound came from this side of the room…

Stealthily making his way across the room, Kisame waited until he heard it again.

*Whimper*

Spinning around, Kisame's senses sprang up as he stood absolutely still.

Waiting…

*Whimper*

Whipping his head in the direction of the sound, he looked on in horror.

Whatever it was…it was on his bed!

His eyes boiled in anger. He was ready to make the kill. Grabbing Samehadahe got ready. On the next whimper of sound he heard, he would plunge that creature from hell, out of his world!

Keeping a firm hold on Samehada,he waited.

And waited….

And waited….

And-

*Whimper*

Gotcha!

Raising Samehada,Kisame brought his sword down, hitting the creature with a mighty THUD!
