Naruto and Himihime were speeding through a thick forest. They barely made a sound as they hopped from branch to branch. The two of them both had their faces covered by hoods. Obviously, Naruto had the hood of his coat pulled over his head. Himihime was wearing a cloak over her normal attire. On the outside it was icy blue in color, inside it was white. The cloak was tied at the neck by a robe. The robe itself was tied around a wooden emblem. Carved on the emblem was the same insignia that was printed on the back of Naruto's coat.
Right after the last meeting between the Jinchuuriki, Naruto quickly found Himihime and told her to come with him on a mission. Himihime wasn't told what he mission was, but she soon found out anyway once the two of them exited the hideout. The same man who appeared earlier, the one dressed in robes and covered his head in bandages, which informed them of Kabuto, was waiting outside the hideout. The man rarely ever talked, and if he did then it would be as little as possible and had great importance. The list of people who knew the man's name and identity was small. That list consisted of Naruto, Himihime, Hinata, and Fuu. As with everyone else, Himihime rarely, if ever, used his real name. She had a nickname for him just like everyone else. Unfortunetly, she didn't use that particular nickname because it gave away his identity way too easily. So, she came up with a nickname for the identity he wore now. She calls him Bandage Man.
Now, Himihime was learning the details of the mission. They were to hunt down Kabuto, or any information of his current whereabouts, or what he could be possibly planning. Essentially, they were just going to look around for anything related to Kabuto in any way. They were given a lead, as the bandaged man informed them that Kabuto's last known whereabouts was a now abandoned laboratory that belonged to Orochimaru. There was no guarantee that Kabuto was still there, however, if they could find any hints towards what he might have been doing there or where he was heading next, then that would be good enough.
Right now, that was where Naruto and Himihime were headed. As they were informed, the laboratory was not far from the Uchiha hideout. For a shinobi it would take only a day to get there. This meant that the pair should reach their destination before the sun would set the next day. Even though the sky was mostly blocked by a barricade of tree tops, Himihime could still tell that the sun was beginning to set and the two of them had a good few hours before dark.
They traveled through the forest before reaching a large clearing. Naruto abruptly stopped. In fact, Naruto's sudden lack of motion surprised Himihime. She almost ran right past him, but she managed to catch herself.
'Senpai, why did you stop?'
'Heh, pay close attention Hime-chan, you'll notice that we'll be having some guests soon.'
'Guests?'
Naruto didn't answer her; he didn't have to. Just then two figures appeared from the forest and entered the clearing from the pair's left. One had long, dull black hair tied in a ponytail. Looking at his facial features one would say that he was more beautiful then handsome, and his glowing red eyes would only captivate a person even more. Those red eyes were Sharingan and the man they belonged to was Uchiha Itachi. The man standing next to him was easily a foot taller then Itachi. His appearance was distinctly that of a shark. He had pale blue skin, small round eyes, and gill-like markings under his eyes. Strapped to his back was the infamous sword Samehada, and only one man was known to wield that sword, Hoshigaki Kisame. However, as different as these two appearance's are, they both wore similar black coats designed with red clouds, officially labeling them as members of the S-class criminal organization Akatsuki.
'Well, well, it's been a while, Itachi, Kisame.' Naruto greeted them, taking down his hood. Himihime followed suit and removed hers as well.
'Hey look, Itachi, it's the little Kyuubi brat.' Kisame said to his smaller teammate. He then turned his attention toward Naruto himself. 'You've grown quite a bit in three years. I hope your skills have grown along with your height, boy.'
Himihime then stepped forward. 'Make even the slightest sign of hostility toward my senpai, and I promise you that your head will be rolling at your feet before you could even reach for that thing you call a sword.'
At first, Kisame was a little surprised by Himihime, but that shock was quickly replaced with a wide grin. 'You got some spunk their, kid. Do you know who I am?'
'Of course I do…Jaws.' As soon as Himihime gave Kisame his little nickname, Naruto started to chuckle. Even Itachi was having trouble keeping his smile hidden.
'Then you should know…' Kisame vanished, only to reappear in front of Himihime, Samehada in hand. 'Wounding me is something terribly difficult to do.' Kisame hoped to get some reaction out of the girl, but she just continued to stare up at him expressionlessly.
'Now you said that you'd take off my head before I could grab my sword. I would like to know how you could accomplish anything with such an empty threat.'
'Like this.' Kisame heard the voice coming from behind him. As soon as he realized the girl was no longer in front of him, he turned his head to look behind him. The girl was now behind him, her katana unsheathed and pointed at Kisame's back.
Kisame just smiled as he continued to stare into the girl's emotionless gaze. 'You're fast…who are you?'
'Her name is Himihime.' Kisame turned back his head to face Naruto. 'You could say that she is my disciple.'
'Really now?' Kisame turned completely around, towering over Himihime with a wide grin on his face. 'I wonder if she is good enough to be shredded by my Samehada.'
'Kisame.' Kisame and Naruto turned their attention to Itachi, except Himihime, who wouldn't let her guard down around Kisame for even a second. 'I know how much you love a good fight, but a little girl? Even for you that is a little low.'
'Nobody asked you for your opinion, pretty boy.' Himihime said, still not keeping her eyes off Kisame. Now Naruto and Kisame were chuckling.
'This brat really has some guts, doesn't she?' Kisame said.
'Kisame…' Itachi began
'Come on, Itachi.' Naruto interrupted him. 'Let the children have their fun.'
Naruto then vanished and appeared behind Itachi. They stood back to back. 'Then we can have some fun on our own.'
Naruto whipped out a kunai, and turned around to slice Itachi's back. Itachi dodged, leaped into the trees and disappeared. Naruto followed closely behind.
It was silent in the clearing. Himihime and Kisame continued their starring contest. Kisame kept grinning and Himihime never broke her emotionless stare. Eventually, it was Kisame who broke the silence.
'Looks like you're on your own, girl. Do you think you can handle yourself?'
Himihime didn't responded, verbally. She had grabbed her katana in both hands and was immediately right in front of Kisame, ready to cut him up the middle of his body. Kisame took a quick step back and raised Samehada to prepare for a horizontal swing. The two swordsmen swung their swords. When they connected, Himihime was surprised at the amount of force that was put behind Samehada's swing. She was almost pushed back, but she was able to hold her ground. Then, suddenly, Kisame put even more strength into his swing, causing Himihime to be pushed back a few yards.
'Hoshigaki Kisame, the Monster of Kirigakure, you really do live up to your reputation.' Himihime said as she slowly lowered her sword. 'I wonder how much of that reputation will tarnish if people found out you were beaten by a little girl?'

'And I suppose that you are going to be that little girl?' When Kisame didn't get a response, he tilted Samehada so the bandages wrapped around it started to unravel, revealing the sword's scaly form. 'I and my Samehada have defeated much more deserving shinobi. You wouldn't even qualify as a snack for my sword.'
'There's nothing more irritating then hearing a grown man brag.' Then, once again, Himihime vanished from Kisame's sight. This time, however, Kisame didn't have enough time to react. Himihime reappeared right in front of him, tilted the sharp end of her sword upward, and swung one-handed up Kisame's upper body. Kisame then jumped back, to evaluate what just happened.
'Brat! She's even faster then before! I didn't even see her move until it was too late. And she so easily got under my guard. There aren't many people that can do that.'
Kisame thoughts were interrupted when Himihime began to speak again. 'Hm, I put a lot of force into that swing, but only managed to cut you a little. You have some really tough skin.'
Kisame looked down. His Akatsuki coat had a long cut going up from his waist to his shoulder. There was a cut the same length and position on Kisame's body, but it wasn't bleeding much and it wasn't very deep.
'But then again, I did do it one-handed and I put nearly no chakra behind it, so such a result is expected.'
'Now who is the one bragging?'
'Alright, I guess it's time I took this fight seriously.' Himihime said as she took a stance.
Kisame stood there, studying the girl intently. 'There's…there's so much chakra being channeled through the sword. Not only that, but she's using fuuton to sharpen the chakra. There is no way that a girl of her age's chakra could have matured to such an extent.'
Himihime charged Kisame, sword in both hands, her chakra visibly wrapped tightly around her blade. Himihime swung and Kisame swung to counter. When their swords collided, the force of that collision sent out a sonic boom and broke the ground underneath them.
'Damn, the brat wasn't kidding. She is pretty good. However, I can just absorb the chakra that's being channeled through the sword.'
Samehada then began to devour Himihime's chakra. The glow of chakra that was coming from the sword began to fade. However, something was wrong. Samehada continued to eat even more and more chakra, and Himihime showed no signs of weakening or exhaustion.
'What's going on? I know that I absorbed all of the brat's chakra that was in the sword, but when I tried to pull our more…it got cold, almost freezing. Also, the texture is very different from any chakra that Samehada has eaten before.'
Then, Kisame couldn't hide is shock when Samehada began to freeze over. Kisame quickly pulled away from the deadlock, wanting Samehada to break any connection from Himihime's sword as soon as possible. Kisame lost his cocky grin and was now glaring down at the girl.
'What's wrong, Jaws? Why so serious all of a sudden? I thought we were going to have fun with this.' Now Himihime was the one with a cocky smile.
Kisame then started to chuckle, having regained his composure. 'I see, I get it now, this is quite interesting. That sword of yours has a chakra all its own, doesn't it?'
This time it was Himihime who couldn't hide her shock. Her face grew stern and cold, an expression that could make even the most bloodthirsty of opponent's stop dead in their tracks. 'I see, so you figured it out…well some of it at least. Kisame, do you know the name of my sword?'
'No. Even though you've had the honor of learning the name of my sword, you have yet to give the name of yours.'
'The name of my weapon is…' The suddenly became cold. Chakra began emitting from both Himihime and her sword. The very ground Himihime stood on began to freeze over. '…Kooriga Akumawo.'
Himihime swung her blade. A row of large icicles shot toward Kisame. He side-stepped out of the way only to see Himihime speed down the row towards him. Kisame then began to dodge and guard against a series of acrobatic assaults of taijutsu and kenjutsu. Himihime was using her much smaller stature to her advantage. The combination of Himihime's size and agility made it hard for Kisame to keep track of her. She only gave him enough time to defend before he was able to counterattack.
Then it came, the opening Kisame was waiting for. Himihime appeared in front of him. She was kneeling down, her sword in her right hand and aimed for his throat. She jabbed forward, hoping to end it their, but Kisame grabbed the blade with his free hand. He prepared to bring Samehada down on the girl, but he started to feel a weird sensation. His fingers began to freeze over. Kisame let go of the sword. Himihime took this as her chance. She swung her katana upward. A stream of freezing water followed her swing, entrapping Kisame within a block of ice. Kisame then turned into a pool of water, froze, and became apart of the ice. Himihime turned around to see Kisame standing a good distance away from her.
'Your really something else, kid, that's for sure. You're pretty good with that sword.'
'Of course I am. For as long as I can remember it has always been just me and this sword. That is, before I met my senpai.'
'I can't understand why you follow him, anyway. You do know that the person who ordered the eradication of all kekkei genkai in Kirigakure was a Jinchuuriki himself.'
'Exactly who do you take me for?' Himihime bore Kisame down with an intense and cold stare. 'Yagura is no longer that man's puppet.'
Kisame was speechless. He was unable to remove the shock from his face. 'How do know about him?'
'My senpai and I have known of his existence for a long time.' Himihime flared her chakra again, this time with much more intensity. Kisame could even physically feel the pressure of her chakra from where he stood. 'I'd like to get this over with; me and senpai have somewhere to be.'
Himihime charged Kisame head on. Kooriga Akumawo collided with Samehada. Cold chakra was emitting itself out of Kooriga Akumawo and surrounded both warriors. Kisame was being pushed back, so he attempted to force Himihime back. However, to Kisame's surprise, Samehada began to cower under the pressure of the chakra from Oniochiiruhyou. Himihime noticed this as well and took this as her chance. Using the combined force of her chakra and Kooriga Akumawo's, Himihime focused both their chakra and manipulated it into a large amount of pure fuuton. By using the force of pure strength and a large gust of wind that she built up using fuuton, Himihime pushed Kisame back. However, she built up more force than necessary and ended up throwing Kisame out of the clearing and into the forest.
'…Oops.'
Himihime quickly chased after Kisame. It wasn't very hard to follow where he was thrown, considering there was a path of broken trees and branches that showed her the way. She followed the path until she reached another clearing. There she found Kisame, waiting for her. Kisame himself was quite beaten up from being thrown like that, and he wasn't too happy about. Still, he could put some of the blame on himself for underestimating her.
'Where the hell did a brat like this get so much power and skill? First, there's that sword of hers, Kooriga Akumawo. The chakra that that sword gives off is definitely not human. Second, how was she able to form ice like that without hand signs?'
Kisame gripped Samehada tighter and reached for the bandages that were wrapped around it, while his cocky grin began to reform. 'I think it's about time I stopped playing nice.'
'Same here.' Himihime responded, and began to reach for the bandages that were wrapped around the hilt of Kooriga Akumawo.
'Really, Kisame, you can't even handle a little girl, for shame.' Kisame and Himihime turned to see who had spoken up. It was Naruto, who was sitting down on his knees next to a small table, a cup of tea in hand. On the other side of the table was Itachi, who was sipping tea from his own cup. Himihime and Kisame gaped open their mouths a little as they looked at the two completely confused by the situation.
'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING!' Himihime and Kisame yelled in unison.
Itachi was the one to answer them, as Naruto began to sip from his cup. 'Just because the two of you are so eager to fight, doesn't mean we are. We find this to be much more civilized then beating the crap out of each other.'
The two swordsman stood there, speechless. Naruto then sighed after finishing his sip and rested the cup in his hands. 'By the way, Itachi. Looking at the current state the two of them are in, you can't deny I won, so pay up the 5000 ryo you owe.'
Itachi then reached into his pocket and pulled out some bills. He then proceeded to give them to Naruto.
'Thank you.'
Kisame and Himihime were still speechless. Then Himihime decided to break that silence.
'What the hell is going on, senpai!'
'Well it's very simple really. Itachi here didn't think that I leaving you to fight Kisame alone was a good idea. I disagreed, saying you could handle him just fine. Eventually this little debate turned into a bet on whether you would be even a match for Kisame or not, and I obviously won.'
'No, not that. I could care less about that. I just want to why you two are calmly drinking tea together.'
'Not mention where they got the tea from, or the cups, or even the table?'
'Yeah, for once I'm going to agree with the midget.' Kisame finally spoke up.
Itachi then began to speak. 'Well, believe it or not, we are all here for the same reason, to eliminate Yakushi Kabuto. So, after some civilized and nonviolent discussion, I agreed to let Naruto have him.'
'But Itachi, we were ordered to take him out.'
'So, as long as it gets done, it doesn't really matter who kills him.' Itachi put his empty cup down on the table. 'Thank you for the tea Naruto.'
'Oh no, it's fine, I enjoyed the company.'
'Those two are being way too chummy.' Both Himihime and Kisame thought.
'Come on, Kisame, we're leaving.'
'Ah man, whatever.' Kisame then stopped and tunred back to Himihime. 'Don't think this will be the last time we meet, brat. Next time, I won't go so easy on you.'
'Then I will shall return the favor when that time comes.'
Kisame quickly caught up to Itachi. The two of them quickly left into the thick forest. Naruto then got up and walked over to Himihime, patting her on the shoulder.
'So, you ready to go?'
'Yeah, senpai.' Himihime then looked back to the table only to see that it was gone.
'Where did it go?'
Author's Note: HELP! The name of Himihime's sword is wrong, very wrong. It is soppused to mean, roughly, 'Demon trapped in the ice'. I could find no translation website that could help me. I could get each individual term to put the name together, but don't know anything about Japanese grammer. If you are reading this and you are Japanese or at least know Japanese grammer, please help me so I can fix the proplem as fast as I can. It would be greatly appreciated. (Now fixed, I hope. The new sword name, Kooriga Akumawo, means 'ice prisoned demon). Also, rate and review, that is appreciated to. However, flames are not.
