Chapter Four: Too Easy

         **A/N: Hey, warning: Violence, blood/gore in this chapter! I do apologize beforehand, I haven't written a lot of action before so it might sound rushed. Let me know what you think!~**

         It was an odd dream, one where the events which played out felt like they had been going on for hours though you could swear you had just fallen asleep. In it, I was wandering through Akatsuki hideout, (the one we're all living in right now), searching for someone. I didn't know why I was doing this and I couldn't figure out who I was searching for either. All the members, as I passed them in the hallways, were only dark, shadowy figures of roughly the same size, each wearing the Akatsuki cloak. None of them, it seemed, were who I was looking for. Doing a head count as I made my way through I discovered we were missing two members. Could it be Pein and Konan who were absent from this hideout or two of the members out on a mission right now? The dream made no sense.

         As I began to walk the base in the opposite direction I heard Kisame's voice. I stopped in the halls and looked around but none of the cloaks had changed their routine. 'Could I be looking for him?' I stood, confused until I heard it again. Suddenly a blinding light radiated from all directions, consuming the base. The hall I was standing in had begun to shake and crack as the light made its way towards me, and then the dream fell apart. A light flooded my eyes as I realized it was my real body being shaken awake. Instinctively my fist went out and I struck blindly at something with all my might. I rolled out of my sleeping bag and looked around as my eyes adjusted, ready to fight whoever had been grabbing at me. Instead of an enemy though I saw Kisame sitting on the ground a few feet away rubbing at his jaw. Itachi was standing a little ways past the fire pit looking at the two of us, already packed and ready to go. I felt woozy as I realized what I had just done.

         "Damn, you got one solid left hook," Kisame said as he continued to tenderly rub his jaw. I looked at him, eyes wide in shock, sweat starting to drip down the sides of my face, unsure of how to respond.

         "If you two are done fooling around we should head out," Itachi said, turning and starting the walk back towards the road.

         Kisame stood up and grabbed his rucksack, grinning and moving his jaw around. "I guess anyone who decides they can surprise you in your sleep won't be making it too far." He said as he walked over, offering his hand for me to take. I stared in disbelief at his outstretched hand and he raised an eyebrow. "Are you coming?" He asked.

         "Uh, yeah, right. Sorry." I babbled, taking his hand and standing up. Then realizing like a fool I still had things to pick up I said, "I'll catch up," and then knelt back down to collect my things. As I looked around my area I discovered that only my sleeping bag was in need of collecting, the pot and dishes had already been put back into my bag last night. Kisame shrugged, wincing as he went to grin and then walked away. I quickly rolled my sleeping bag and attach it to my rucksack.

         Swinging the bag over my shoulder I stood up. Looking around at the cleared space I decided that having the two men walk ahead was a good thing. My bladder was full and in need of release before I could continue the mission and it was always weird going when the men were close by. Since the men were now a ways off I ducked into the bushes behind a large tree and pulled my bottoms down. After a moment the pressure faded away and a feeling of bliss took its place, now this wouldn't be an issue once we reach our destination. I cleaned off and covered what I had done so animals or other trackers didn't find it before I started walking at a quick pace through the knee-high grass, my two partners not too far ahead in the trees and bush.

         I was still a little dazed from earlier, pulled so suddenly from that dream that it felt like I still walked one. I looked at my surroundings as we once again started walking the road, the feeling of reality starting to come back as I listened to the sounds around me. In the dream, there had been no sound so the difference was enough to prove I was awake. Ultimately, my eyes made their way to my front where the two men walked. I looked at Kisame's back and cringed. I had hit him, I had knocked him right down with my fist, which now tingled slightly along the knuckles. What the hell was I going to do, and more importantly, what was he going to do to get back at me? 'No, wait, that isn't the way Kisame handles situations like this, that's more like Hidan and Deidara, sometimes Tobi and Zetsu.' I was arguing, reasoning with myself that I would be safe. 'Kisame had laughed, sort of, and offered me assistance getting up. He wouldn't hit me back out of the blue, would he? Damn it.' My head was starting to hurt now and I felt like I needed to watch my back. I did not want to make any mistakes for the remainder of the mission.
