The Sea To His Love ~~// Glad You Came - Kisame X Self Insert Reader

☁️His Past~🌊

I took off my sandals and raised the hem of my kimono then sat on the edge of a lake, dipping my feet into the lukewarm water watching a few tadpoles swim by as the sun began to set. Kisame emerged from the bushes and sat next to me handing me a hot cup of noodles and chopsticks. I smiled taking it from him "Thank you Kisa! How did you know I was starving?" I asked and began to eat with no hesitation.

He took his chopstick and began to eat from his cup as well "Of course my side kick was starving....I mean aren't you always? I could hear your stomach grumble all the way that you almost gave away our stealth mission" He teased

I frowned "Sidekick?...I'm not your sidekick. I'm your partner"

"Well, more of an apprentice I would say... I never really thought of having one... I guess you forced your way in" he teased trying to push my buttons

I puffed my cheeks angrily and turned my back to him to continued eating "Swordmen are assholes! I don't know why us people glorify you so much"

Kisame's face went serious, and he stopped eating "What were your true intentions back then?"

I stopped eating and turned to him "To return what was mine obviously!"

He looked at me cluelessly until I continued "The swords are made by my great great grandfather's...they lawfully belong to me! You swordsmen are at my mercy! And that is exactly what is stopping you from killing me... a good blade knows who it's true owner is. It's a good blade that makes a man"

He looked at his sword then at me "Is that why Zabuza didn't kill you?... is that why Ameyuri Ringo accepted to die by your hands so willingly?"

"Yes, and it is the same reason you can't kill me either" I said proudly "You will be surprised but the Misukage's blade cannot cut through my skin.... I wanted to gather the swords to place them back in my armory...but the swordsmen are too pathetic without their blades. I pity you... that is the only reason you guys still roam the earth... now tell me Kisame, who is the sidekick now?" I smirked

He shook his head and went back to eating with an obvious grin "Itachi was right then... He told me to corner you, if I wanted to know the truth... and it was just like he thought. Sadly, for you, it is not the blade that makes me. I am my own person and Samehada is a mere companion"

I smirked "Heh try proving me otherwise then... you won't last seconds without your swords, Kisame"

He frowned "You know I would agree to hand you my sword and prove it...but that is what you want, so I won't give you Samehada... my father was right when he said a conversation with a woman is more dangerous than an actual battle with her. You always have your manipulative ways with us"

I smiled "Wise man....You never really told me much about your father...what was he like, other than being man hoe?"

He laughed and looked at the lake trying to remember what he can "He was... my idol. Despite being a Shinobi tool...he looked like he was so free. He lived life to the fullest! He tried it all and enjoyed every moment excessively. Even after my mother's death he never showed a hint of sadness and told me to keep smiling no matter what happens. I was always trying to copy him even after his death until I got hit with the cold truth. I didn't know what I was protecting anymore... I was conditioned to keep Kirigakure safe....so killing a comrade that was sin to me. My father had so many friends and people around him because he believed in protecting the people, he loves... he was a very over-protective father and made sure nothing negative came my way... I think that is where he went wrong... I was never exposed to any negative emotions that the only time I felt it...it hit me deep. I felt disgusting after killing my own... and the killing never stopped ever since. Now my body craves it... I itch to kill. I never hesitate to raise my blade at someone... I became the monster they branded me with" He said as his smile dropped

I placed my ramen cup aside and cupped his face to make him look at I "Kisame... you are not a monster... you are more human than anyone I have ever met"

His smiled returned and he pulled me into his lap hugging me tight "You are the only one who reminds me of those feelings I had... I want to protect you with my life. No one will ever hurt you while I'm alive. I'll rip them to shreds if they did"

I hugged him back tighter "I feel so safe already Kisa...thank you"

He chuckled "I feel so honorable now...Protecting the first Misukage's last decedent, with a blade he forged"

I smiled and gave him a quick peck "My hero"

He didn't know why but that word forced him to blush so hard making me laugh at how adorable he was with tinted cheeks.
