"It was an honest reaction." Kisame said lightly, and added a shrug for good measure. "Interesting too. It doesn't jeopardize my mission here, even if the attention was more than I wanted."

He took a few moments to look her over, being very pointed about the perusal. "You're no civilian, and you're still alive, so you can't be useless, Milani-kun. But if my mission had been to capture or kill you, you realize you would have made it ridiculously easy, don't you."

That was no question, but her question made Kisame laugh. He sobered up instantly though. "You know better than to ask that, Milani-kun. You've grown though. And here I thought you'd fallen to Kiri's politics so long ago. Enjoying your new village, kid?"

Why he actually answered the question after the admonition, well, Kisame was curious and if she spilled secrets about Konoha, more for him to report. He wondered if Sephiroth knew she lived, or more to the point, where.
