Demon Killing Blues; For Kisame and Yuuki.

[Yuuki Tadayoshi]

Yoshi yawned as he emerged from the meeting he had just attended, bored out of his wits from the sermon that the leader had given. As usual, Pein was banging on about the same stuff: capturing the Bijuu as soon as possible, gaining monetary strength, spreading the name of Akatsuki, among other things. It was all stuff that Yoshi had heard before, and quite frankly, was sick of hearing. Nonetheless, he spoke no word of complaint to the leader of the group. Not because of fear, but because of the immense respect that Yoshi held for the man. Of course, it didn't hurt that Pein could probably kill him with relative ease.

As he walked, he turned to his partner, Kisame. Kisame had been a member longer than he had, and was arguably more dangerous than he, but Kisame still showed him respect, something that Yoshi liked about him. The two had been partners for quite a while now, and had developed a relationship that had grown past partners. It was almost a friendship, if not one. Yoshi could trust Kisame, and visa versa. As Yoshi thought of Kisame's pros, he smiled, thankful that he wasn't paired up with either of the immortal duo. He didn't think he'd be able to handle such crazy guys as they were. It wasn't before long, though, that he remembered that he was actually walking with his partner, and began to speak to him.

"So, Kisame-san, how did you find that meeting?"[/color][/font] It was a boring question, but a question nonetheless. As he awaited an answer, Yoshi placed his hands in his pockets. At least, he attempted to, before realising that in fact, his Akatsuki cloak had no pockets, and his hands were left dangling down by his sides.

[Kisame Hoshigaki]

Another Akatsuki meeting for the shark ninja. They were getting quite irritating, with the Zombie combo constantly arguing and the others bickering over useless things. How will they ever capture the Bijuu like this? The Shark stayed quiet during the meeting, only answering questions directed at him and sometimes cutting of Tadayoshi to not let him answer any questions, less they get a beating from Pain because they’ve been slacking around. Well the orders were now clear and in full motion. The main objective was of course to capture the fabled tailed beasts, secondary objectives included collecting bounties and valuable technique scrolls and of course, searching for Orochimaru and killing him. That should have been a Sasori only mission considering he was Sasori’s former partner. Well, Kisame planned to kill that bastard eventually. At least both Kisame and Tadayoshi knew their targets regarding the tailed beasts.

Kisame’s target was the four tailed gorilla. According to what Pain knew, the yonbi uses lava techniques and is located somewhere in Iwagakure. Well, at least they knew what country, no they can go to Iwagakure and look around for him and gather information until his turn to get sealed comes. Now they just had to decide where to go first and since Kisame’s target had less tails and was going to be sealed sooner then Tadayoshi’s, their destination was more or less obvious. Pain found it annoying that Kisame didn’t attempt to gather information on his own, something which just annoyed Kisame considering Pain sits around in a base all day, he could have just gathered all of the information by now. Regardless of what a drag it was, capturing the Yonbi was essential and they needed information on him and his location first before they fight.

The two dark figures walked out of the Akatsuki cave where all of the other holograms just disappeared. Kisame was of course wearing the Akatsuki cloak and his straw hat on his head. A leather strap running down from his right shoulder diagonally to his waist and the bandaged massive weapon Samehada on his back. His hands were at his sides and he was walking at a slow pace with his partner. It was nighttime and massive black clouds covered the sky, a thick cloud of fog was covering the whole country and the two could walk without fear of being seen. His partner was very silent and he probably got slightly annoyed when Kisame started cutting him off during the meeting, purely because he didn’t want Tadayoshi to say anything regarding their whereabouts before the meeting, more or less the fight with the female Mizukage-sama.

”So, Kisame-san, how did you find that meeting?”

Kisame’s small eyes locked onto his partner as he spoke. The shark turned his head for a moment until his partner finished his thought then turned it back to the road.”Not as entertaining as the others, but I found it enjoyable"[/color] he answered in his usual amused tone. Usually it was quite fun to watch Deidara argue with the Zombie twins and it was amusing to watch Hidan fighting with Kakuzu, but this meeting was a bore. He hoped the other one would be a little more interesting. Right now, they had to figure out where they’re heading to. ”Right.”[/color] Kisame said to himself as he came to a stop ”I hope you don’t mind going to Iwagakure, considering we’ll have to walk through Konohagakure to get to the other side of the border”[/color] he asked and explained in a calm and amused tone as always. ”Then again, if you want you can always wait here while I seal my Bijuu, I doubt it would require the both of us”[/color] he smirked at his partner, suggesting that he himself can handle the Yonbi, all things considered he probably could.

”My, my, gathering information on this Yonbi fellow is going to be a drag, I hope he’s somewhat famous so it takes less time then I think it will”[/color] he began walking again as he took out a small map from his left sleeve. Quickly creating a course in his mind, he folded the paper and placed it into his sleeve again. ”We shouldn’t take our time leaving this country, after meeting the Mizukage I’m sure she’ll not hesitate to call a squad of Hunter ninja to track us down and capture us before we leave the country[/color]

[Yuuki Tadayoshi]

Yoshi shrugged as Kisame spoke to him, quite shocked that he had found it enjoyable. Well, considering the fact that he was used to all the shenanigans that the group got up to, there wasn't much to be surprised about. Looking around, he could see nothing but water a fog, creating a rather downtrodden atmosphere. He shuddered. How could anyone grow up here? It was most certainly not a place where anyone could thrive, what with the constant smell of blood in the air. Yoshi tilted his head as he thought back to the days when Kirigakure was called the 'Bloody Mist'. He wondered what it was like in those days, and how much it had even improved. A part of him wanted to ask Kisame, but he decided against it. That'd have to wait for another time.

Suddenly, Kisame halted, and began to talk once more. When he heard what Kisame had to say, he chuckled. Not only because of the suggestion that Kisame could take the Yonbi on his own, but because of the fact that Kisame had also mentioned that they'd have to pass through his old village - Konoha - to get to the Yonbi. Of course, at the mention of his old village, he began to reminisce. Yeah, he had enjoyed living in the village, but the current tyranny of that bastard Fugaku had forced him to leave. Suddenly, a mischievous grin crept on to his face, and a thought in his mind became a pressing feeling.

He would go to Konoha and kill the Hokage.

Inspired but his comrade's recent attack on the Mizukage, Yoshi decided that he would be the one to carry out the judgement of the dictator, Fugaku. He examined the pro's and cons of his plan, and decided that the pro's out wieghed the cons. Obviously, they'd have to work out some way to attack the Hokage without anyone else getting involved or harmed, but those were just minor details. What was important was that Yoshi was going to kill the Hokage. He turned to his partner, with the same menacing grin on his face.

"Yeah, I'll be joining you on the journey. It'll be fun to see you take on the Yonbi. Besides, I have an issue I need to sort out in Konoha, so we'll be taking a detour there. Something along the lines of what you just did, actually. You don't mind, do you?"[/color][/font] As Yoshi spoke, he thought of the Hokage's face as he killed him.

This was going to be a fun mission.

[Kisame Hoshigaki]

Kisame didn’t really except his partner to say behind. All things considered, his partner was probably just going to be as much of a problem as the Yonbi if he gets out of control. The shark trusted his partner though and hoped he would get in the way. If he will, it would be the death of him, despite the respect and loyalty he has to his partner, Kisame wasn’t going to play daddy to him and baby him. He didn’t join Akatsuki to find himself an apprentice. Holding Yoshi’s hand through this whole thing was the least of the sharks concerns. But, he knew that Tadayoshi wasn’t a pushover, he could hold his own in a fight and probably even take out other members of the Akatsuki if he wanted to. Then again, the others were kind of stupid to a point where it was beginning to concern Kisame. How are they supposed to capture anything with those idiots?

”Yeah, I'll be joining you on the journey. It'll be fun to see you take on the Yonbi. Besides, I have an issue I need to sort out in Konoha, so we'll be taking a detour there. Something along the lines of what you just did, actually. You don't mind, do you?”

[/color] Kisame raised an eyebrow as his comrade mentioned stopping in Konoha. Kisame didn’t really mind taking detours and taking his time, but he didn’t want to be doing something stupid. Since Kisame just spent a good half out fighting the Mizukage, his partner was planning to do the same with the Hokage. The shark ninja knew that Konoha was under the rule of the Uchiha clan and its leader. Fighting the Mizukage was one thing, but fighting an Uchiha leader and a hokage was another thing. Then again, he never really had a liking to the Uchiha. They and their eyes were overrated and their once dreadful name was now a laughing stock of the whole world. In a sense, they were getting too cocky just because they had a last name.

”Konoha, eh?”[/color] Kisame began wondering, he never had a liking for Konoha, considering the events that occurred in that area earlier in his life. He actually recalls once thinking about destroying it. Kisame wasn’t going to baby Tadayoshi, if he wanted to go to Konoha, the shark was certainly not going to lecture him on morals and strategies. ”If you want to, but starting a war with Konoha with just the two of us might be suicidal[/color] he released a chuckle from his grin ”Though I guess we have to pass through it anyway[/color] as they continued walking Kisame began remembering that Konoha had some tasty foods. He always did consider himself a gourmet of everything tasty. They had a long way to go to the border, so Kisame decided it would be good to keep some small talk going to keep the both of them entertained, at least until they run into some ninja.

”I hope you’re not that famous in Konoha, we don’t want to be arrested before we even reach the village”[/color]
