Kisame really hadn't been expecting that. It hit home in ways that almost physically hurt, bringing out bloody memories and a flood of emotion. Where do I go? Where can I go?
The breath he drew in hissed through clenched teeth, and Kisame had to consciously force tight muscles and clenched fists to relax. He'd fallen into a ready stance in the split second she'd said 'giant lie' and it was actually hard to force himself back into something that resembled relaxation. He knew he wasn't being entirely successful, and it made him feel more vulnerable than he had in a long time.
He couldn't look at her. "I'll leave you to it. I have a mission to complete."
In a split second he was on the garden wall, and there he paused, back to the garden. Part of him fought to look back, to say something to address what she'd said, and it made him hesitate. Oh, what a fool he was. A hesitation like that could easily get him killed in another situation. He needed to leave, now.
