>D hohohoho.



Kisame, Hidan and Deidara are smirking. That would be fine, except it's directed at him. It can't be good.

"So you're legal today, un?"

... Oh, hell.

Deidara insists to get him drunk. (He gets drunk first. It's not a total waste of time; the feeling of drunkenness gives Itachi new Genjutsu ideas, and Deidara is too wasted to make testing them on him difficult.)

Hidan prays for him to get in lots of good, bloody carnage today, and then makes it happen when he pisses off some guys in the bar. (God helps those who help themselves, seriously. He then goes and steals Itachi's kills. It's fine; Hidan himself is more interesting as far as targets go.)

Kisame just smirks a lot, all the time they're in the bar, and all the time they're going home, and even more so when he wishes Itachi goodnight.

His foolish little brother is trussed up in a corner, covered in inked seals, and glaring for all he's worth.

Itachi makes a mental note to tell Kisame how pleased he is to have chosen him as a partner, out of all the possibilities.
