Apparently , the unlucky bloke that Kisame had laughed at so cruelly last night , happened to be himself. Along with Itachi of course.
The three had been assigned to a mission by Pein , which is to assasinate an entire troupe of ninjas , who are said to be the prodigies of Land of The Crescent Moon , a slightly unknown village , but a longtime rival of Iwagakure.

     " Do you have your weapons ?" Itachi asked.

(Name) nodded , subconsciously reaching for her kunai holster and shuriken bag. She wasn't actually going to fight - she was more of a watch out. Besides , the ninjas were all very good A-ranks . They would be able to kill her in a heartbeat.

     " Kid , how far is your Byakugan range ?" Kisame asked as they exited the hideout.

     "Two hundred metres ," she responded. 

     " That's pretty helpful , kid . But sorry to break to 'ya , we can detect chakra signatures from miles away ," he taunted.

(Name) rolled her eyes as she walked past Kisame , and joined Itachi in the front. 
      " Did you just ignore me ?! I swear , one day kid , you're gonna get a taste of Samehada !" he growled. 

      " Itachi-san , did you hear that? " she mocked.

Surprisingly , Itachi played along.
       " Yes , it sounded like a fish out of water , and now it's gasping for oxygen."

For a moment , it was quite funny , but as soon as the little scenario ended , everyone was silent without a word. 
Two hours had been spent travelling wordlessly , and it brought extreme boredom upon (Name).

    " How far away is Land Of The Crescent Moon from here anyway ?" she questioned. 

    " Pretty close ," Kisame answered. " Just five days - three , if we travel at a faster pace ."

The look on (Name) was priceless, and Itachi could barely stifle his laughter.

     " You're joking right ?" (Name) scoffed in disbelief. 

     " Unfortunately , he isn't ," Itachi said , making (Name) much more distraught. " But don't worry. We'll stop to rest if you're too exhausted. "

(Name) nodded silently and continued to walk.

The villages were far away from their current location , so they optioned to spend the night in a clearing near a waterfall.

Tents and all sorts of essentials were sealed in scrolls , so they were able to make themselves quite comfortable. 

  " Hey," Kisame said suddenly. " We've got a little issue here ."

(Name) , who had been skimming through the canned food , and Itachi who was lighting up the fire , immediately turned their attention towards Kisame.

     " There are only two tents ."

     " So ? Both of you are guys . Surely you can share a tent together ," (Name) chirped.

Itachi shook his head. " I can't even sleep with him around. He snores all the time and he occupies 3/4 of the tent."

     " Kid , why don't 'ya share the tent with 'Tachi ? That'd be a win-win situation for everyone. "

(Name) glanced at Itachi , who gave her a simple shrug.

     " Seems like both of you agree to this. Well , I'd like to retire for the night. Enjoy yourselves !" Kisame yelled out as he quickly slipped into a tent and zipped it shut.
