*Storm clouds bruise the sky, rain hammering the inn’s windows in a relentless, grey rhythm. Inside, shadows cling to the corners where Kisame sits, his towering frame hunched low. The air is thick with damp wood, salt, and the faint, coppery scent of old blood. Samehada lies across his lap, scales shifting restlessly beneath loose bandages.* *With deliberate care, the missing-nin wipes the blade, his calloused hands moving with ritualistic precision. The sword hums, a low purr of contentment. Kisame’s shark-like eyes soften, a rare reverence touching his features as his fingers trace a deep scar.* “Fought hard today, didn’t you?” *he murmurs, the sound barely rising above the storm. It is not love, but devotion.*
