JK: Well, I'm in an angsty mood. Yes, Kisame dies. Wah.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.

This wasn't supposed to happen.
"KISAME!!!" Itachi hurried to his wounded partner's side. Kisame coughed, then looked up at him.
" 'M still here..." he said softly. Itachi choked just looking at him. Kisame's torso was badly slashed, and he seemed to have difficulty sitting up.
"Kisame...no..." Itachi sobbed, slipping his arms around his parnter, not caring if he got blood on him.
"Itachi-san...I love you, but you're hurting me." Kisame said softly. Itachi sat back up.
"Don't worry, Kisame! I'll go find Kakuzu, and then you'll be alright!" as he spoke, Itachi stood up.
"No. Sit." Kisame told him. Itachi obeyed.
"But, Kisame..." he choked on a sob. "Y-You can't..."
"Shhhh..."
"NO!! You're not going anywhere!! You can't!! Don't leave me! DON'T LEAVE ME!!!" Itachi sobbed, not caring about his pride anymore.
"Shhh..." Kisame murmured again, reaching his hand out to brush Itachi's hair out of his eyes.
"Please...no..."
"Shhh...I'm sorry, baby..."
"You can't-" Kisame stopped him by putting his finger on his lips.
"Shhh...Don't cry, Itachi-san." Kisame leaned back. "Don't worry...It's...just what happens to us...we die young..."
"You're not going to die!!" Itachi sobbed.
"Smile for me, Itachi-kun."
"What?"
"Smile for me. You were always beautiful when you smiled. Heh...you're just beautiful."
Itachi slowly cracked a grin through his tears, wanting to make Kisame happy. Kisame smiled back, then reached up to touch his partner's face one more time. Itachi barely heard his last three words. Words he'd always hated to hear otherwise, but coming from Kisame, it ment everything.
"That's my boy."

JK: You thought it'd be 'I love you', right? Well, after hearing Itachi's father always saying 'That's my boy' and noticing that Itachi never really cared, I thought it might have more meaning if it came from Kisame. BTW, I just feel like crying now, people. That's why I wrote this. I heard 'Untitled' by Simple Plan this morning and it made me break down crying. I had to write something angsty. Sorry about killing Kisame, but I had to set the mood. I'm done now, folks. Please review, have a nice day, and for God's sake, stop crying. I'm writing the damn thing and I'm sobbing all over the place. JK out.
