Akatsuki Antics

Uchiha Itachi speed walked agitatedly. Behind him Hoshigaki Kisame followed.

"Aw come on Itachi."

"No. No deal Kisame, I've indulged you far too often already."

"But I truly like it. Don't you want me to be happy?"

The Sharingan user gritted his teeth, never halting his walk. "Do you have any idea of how much it drains me? Every time I'm left trying to recover!"

"What, is the mighty Uchiha Itachi scared of a little "exercise"?" Kisame mocked his partner.

Itachi halted suddenly. Spinning around, Sharingan eyes blazing, he looked in the Sword wielder's own.

"Tsukyomi!"

The world turned red, a moon moving across the sky, before it turned into a barren, red wasteland where Kisame could see nothing over the horizon, no matter how far he looked. Until the Master of this plain appeared mere meters in front of him.

"This is the world of Tsukyomi!" He said darkly. "In this world, I control everything."

He took a step towards the shark-faced man. "For the next seventy-two hours" another step "you shall be" He stopped one step away from Kisame

"A movie star!"

As Itachi disappeared, Kisame's apparel changed into a snazzy black T-shirt and jeans, with a pair of classy sunglasses on his face. The red world became a street with many people, civilians, walking. As he took a step, heads turned and girls screamed.

"Ohmygod! It's Kisame!" "Kisame, we love you!" "Kisame, Kisame, you were SO GREAT in those first two Jaws movies. They really shouldn't have replaced you with with that great white in the third. You SOOO out acted him!"

With an ear-splitting grin, sharp teeth bared, he cried out to the sky.

"THANK YOU ITACHI!"

The young man in question sat in the sky, invisibly observing it all. "Why do I keep indulging him?"

The leader of Akatsuki was calmly enjoying his tea, when the doors to his private quarters where slammed open. In walked the famed Konoha Missing Nin and Mist Missing Nin partners.

'What seems to be the problem, Itachi, Kisame? It is unlike you two to interrupt my private time unless something extremely important came up?"

A fuming Uchiha nodded, looking furious at his partner, who seemed to be offended.

"Oh, something came up alright. Kisame's new plan to capture the Biyuu, that is."

"Kisame has a new plan? Then why would you be so angry? Isn't this good? It should hasten our plans enormously."

To respond to this, Itachi pulled out a piece of paper, standard A4 size. The leader read it.

'HAVE YOU SEEN THIS DEMON-FOX?

(Picture of Kyuubi)

MISSING

Last seen munching on Konoha Shinobi.

Noticeable traits: Nine tails, size of a mountain, paralysing killer intent, unmatched bloodlust and hunger for meat.

Attention, may look like little blonde boy.

If found, please alert Hoshigaki Kisame, Cave of Doom Nr 3, Borders of Fire and Rice.'

Kisame spent the next three weeks cleaning up all Akatsuki Nine's chambers with a shoe brush, a bar of soap and a small plastic bag.

"How many have it been so far?" Itachi asked his partner.

"Aw, it wasn't my fault and you know it!"

The angry Uchiha glared. "Not your fault? How can you possibly say that? Do you know how many are left that we are still welcome at?"

"But they had it coming!"

"I DON'T CARE KISAME! There are only so many restaurants left that will still serve us, and you KEEP on smashing them up because they have Shark fin Soup on the menu!"

Uchiha Itachi stumbled forward through the forest. His cheek had a cut that still oozed a little blood.

"How?" Kisame asked.

"How what?"

"How could he possibly have hit you?"

"I was weighted down!"

"Weighted down? You do not even HAVE weights. You don't carry a sword, you don't have THAT many Kunai, no Tanto, Wakazashi, Kodachi, Katana, Ninjato…Nothing! What could POSSIBLY weight you down."

Itachi pulled open his cloak. It was filled to the brim with small boxes.

"Oh Itachi. Seriously. This Pocky addiction of yours is going to kill you one of these days."
