Welcome to Gaia! ::

(let's see if I can post a decent summary for us, ne?)

Itachi and Kisame are on a mission to retrieve a scroll from a lord to turn in for the month's payment for food. Itachi has been sent ahead, while Kisame completes another side-mission, and they will meet up at the lord's mansion and remain under-cover while there. Unfortunately... Kisame doesn't know what Itachi looks like, it's hard to conceal Kisame's skin, teeth, and strange eyes.

How will things unfold?

((that decent enough?))

Kisame gave a small sigh as he walked alongside two other men. He was playing as one of their friends who were going to be staying with the Lord he and Itachi needed to steal the scroll from, and that was his way into the whole thing. Gone were the days that they were allowed to barge in and take what they needed, before just leaving. It would've been so much easier, and so much more fun, but now they had to come in with stupid disguises.

One of the guys Kisame was traveling with looked to him and gave a slight chuckle. He'd been sighing enough for them to get used to it. The shark-man currently had a set of face-wraps on, covering the gills on his cheeks, and his sharp teeth. Of course... it wouldn't help while he ate, and people could still see his change of skin color, and odd eyes, but it was the best he could come up with while not matching his profile of the Akatsuki member known as Kisame.

Arrival at the house came soon, and the trio were led to a tea room. There, some conversations started up while they waited for the lord to finish with his current work, and come and see them. Kisame looked around, wondering where Itachi was. He was a bit edgy, as he'd had to leave Samehada behind. It was odd to have the weight of a pack, and not his beloved 'shaver' against his back. Along with the face wraps, he was wearing a loose, tan Haori with a dark teal trim, and then dark brown hakama pants. A gold cord held his top together.

Kisame examined the females bowing to them, inclining his head like the other two males in his group. His eyes caught on dark hair and a lithe figure. He was reminded of someone when he looked at 'her', but shook his head at such a thought. Itachi was probably disguised as a scholar, or someone else. Disguising himself as a woman was probably the last thing on earth the Uchiha would ever do.

Of course, Kisame never won any points in brilliance, so Itachi was not recognized. The only issue was that... he was looked at in a different way.
"So many ho- beautiful ladies... It's a wonder how the lord keeps them all to himself." the shark-man said aloud. He would've said 'hot chicks', but vaguely remembered he had to behave himself and not be rude.

Kisame grinned under his mouth-wraps. His eyes, of course, darted to 'Chiriko's' rear as 'she' walked, adding to his grin. The males followed the females, and the blue-skinned shark man shoved his hands into his pockets to keep from knocking things off the walls just to make a crash. "Wonder when we'll get to eat..." the large make mumbled aloud, causing his companions to chuckle.
"Let them get through to showing us our rooms, and such, first, Tonbo." one of the guys grunted, shaking his head a little.

I can't help it if I'm hungry... Even if we did have a late breakfast, and them letting me finish off almost everything.... Kisame thought, letting out a bit of a sigh. He would get irritable, soon, if he didn't eat. Of course, he wasn't allowed to show that... if he got irritable, he'd want to break things, but only if he didn't bottle it up. The stuff he couldn't contain was a few grouchy mumblings, but that was somewhat okay.

Kisame couldn't help but continue to watch the swaying rear as Itachi walked, though he blinked a little at the voice. Why did it sound like a masked familiarity? He gave a little shrug to himself, and then was whacked a little from the side.
"Stop staring... it's rude." A male murmured. His companions were Len and Reii. Reii often joked with 'Tonbo', and had been the one to note 'Chiriko' staring at Kisame. Len... was one for respect, and was the one telling the shark-man to behave even more. Kisame grumbled a little under his face-wraps, but gave a roll of his eyes and did as told. He glanced back to 'Chiriko's' rear, sometimes, but otherwise kept his eyes on other things.

As they were led to their rooms, Kisame hindered the first two to his partners, Len giving him a bit of a look as the shark-man simply grinned and continued to follow 'Chiriko'. "Interesting place..." the blue male murmured, glancing to the male-in-drag as he was led to his room. "Seems a bit confining, though..." his spirits were a little better since he was alone with 'Chiriko', however, his irritability was slowly rising the more his stomach growled.

Once they got to his room, Kisame turned to Itachi. "Sure you don't wanna come in and help me make the place comfortable?" The blue man knew he was going to get hit, but didn't care.

Kisame gave a hidden pout under his facewraps, a little surprised that he didn't get slapped. "Thanks for leading me to my room, Chiriko-kun. If you change your mind... you know where I am!" He called after 'her' playfully, before disappearing into said room, a grin on his ugly mug.
After a little bit of poking around the room and setting up a few traps the fish-man never felt safe without, Kisame stretched out on the bed to nap until dinner came. His hand twitched a little every-so-often, uneasiness without Samehada having driven him to have a kunai under his pillow. It wasnt that he didn't feel safe... though he knew he couldn't feel safe; he was just following needed precautions and protections.

Kisame jumped a bit when the knock came on the door. Hidden under his pillow, his hand grasped the Kunai that was there, before relaxing a bit and smirking at 'Chiriko' "Change your mind?" he asked. His face wraps had fallen off, and when he realized it, he stopped grinning and quickly moved to put them on.
