Fox in the Akatsuki (Suigetsu Love Story)

Chapter 8

After a while, I had three of the rogues tied up and Suigetsu had the other two with our old teacher's sword. "I thought you were going to report this," I said, simply.

"Well, I would've if you simply listened to me before you decided to go full hunting mode," Suigetsu said, in annoyance.

"I can handle myself, Fishy," I said, walking up to him as my tail raised slightly.

"Well, you have a pretty convincing way of showing it, Kirra," He said and I crossed my arms with a raised brow.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" I asked and Suigetsu spoke again.

"If you listening to me for once is gonna end up saving your life, you should probably focus on trying not to get yourself killed if I'm not around," He said and I growled, glaring at him.

"And what do you think I've been doing the last five years?! Sitting and twiddling my thumbs?! The whole reason I joined Kisame in joining the Akatsuki was to look for you!" He became surprised as I began to tear up a bit. "And yet, here you are and you think I can't even do anything right without messing it up, huh?"

"Kirra-" Suigetsu seemed to have an instant regret moment as he frowned a bit. I ended up looking away from him though and I huffed a false chuckle.

"Guess I was wrong for that." I said, simply, walking away from Suigetsu and I took off my cloak and dropped it onto the ground. "Goodbye, Suigetsu." I said and I jumped off.

"Kirra!" I heard Suigetsu yell but I was already going away and I wasn't going to turn back. After an hour, I stopped running as I was out of breath and I looked back in the direction I came from and I took my headband off as I stared at it. A Mist Village symbol was engraved on it with a scratch through it. I sat on the branch I was on and curled up, dropping my headband onto the ground.

Guess I'll always be alone, huh. . .?

Suigetsu

I was sitting in Kirra's old room as I held her Akatsuki cloak. I then looked at the closet and I stood up before walking inside to see the paper box fell open onto the closet floor and the origami fish with it. I stared at one to see come to realize there was something familiar about them. . .

I was sitting next to Mangetsu while we were both out on a mission and I was taking a drink of water from my cup and I heard some running before I looked around in alert.

"Is something up, Suigetsu?"

"I just heard something," I said and there was suddenly a splash and both Mangetsu and I looked in the direction of it as we then peeked around a tree.

We noticed it was basically what seemed like a girl who seemed about my age as she held a dead fish that started bleeding into the water. She then became alert before noticing something in the water and she growled before tossing the fish onto the bank and seemingly sneaking after the target before pouncing and missing it entirely as she growled in frustration. From what I could tell, she semed to have animal ears and tail, though I couldn't figure out what kind of animal she had the ears and tail of.

"A girl, huh?" Mangetsu asked and I looked at him.

"Shh, you might scare her-"

"Who are you?" We both heard the voice and we both got startled as we both immediately jumped away after getting startled at the voice as she then jumped down, barring her canines. "I asked a question," She said and I glanced around for a moment.

"I'm Mangetsu, and this is my little brother, Suigetsu," She paused in her stalking to start to get up and her ears seemed to fold back as she stared at the both of us, suspiciously.
