Summery: Applesauce was her favorite snack. It also happened to be his favorite thing to annoy her with.

Enjoy-


Applesauce. God's gift to little children. Or, more like Haruno Sakura. Sakura loved applesauce more then anything. More than the ribbon her best friend Ino Yamanaka gave her as a sign of their friendship. Even more than her momma's famous peanut butter and chocolate chip pancakes topped with whipped cream, strawberry syrup and, of course, cherries. Even more than that. Yes, she loved applesauce.

As Sakura gobbled up applesauce like a mouse with cheese, someone opened the door to her kindergarten's teacher, Mrs. Uchiha's, door. She stared in horror. It was none other than her oldest son, Uchiha Itachi. Itachi was thirteen years old, and passed grade school by the time he was twelve. He was currently taking college courses at home on the Internet. Not only that, but he also happened to be the heir for the Uchiha head and fortune. All that, topped with fan-girls from ages six to sixteen, and you have his life.

She hated him.

Not because he was rich, powerful, smart, totally anti-social, or the fact that he was 'hot'. No, she hated him because he had eaten her applesauce one day, without her permission. And she declared said hatred right in front of the entire class. From that day forth, every time he visited his mother on his once-a-week visits, he would proceed to annoy her. She didn't understand why he wouldn't just let her be so she could hate him in peace.

She stared at the boy as he walked into the class, nonchalant as usual. A new plan to ignore him formed in her mind like a gerbil on a wheel, and she ate the rest of her applesauce up. Then, she walked calmly over to the coloring books and grabbed one, along with a box of crayons. Itachi watched her silently to see what she would do. Obviously bugging the hell outta her was just a game. It would be hard, she thought, to play a game when some one was ignoring them.

After asking her teacher if their was anything he could help her with, he walked over to her table that she shared with his little brother, Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto. Still determined to ignore him, she proceeded to color the doggy on the page blue. Out of the corner of her shining eyes, she noticed Itachi stealing Sasuke's applesauce. Sasuke was far too busy arguing with Naruto for the black crayon to notice anyway.

He slowly scooped up some applesauce with his finger and licked it off. Right in front of her. That was not the right way to eat applesauce! You couldn't just lick it off! You had to eat it with a spoon, taking small bites and savoring the flavor. She glared at him, trying to reach for the plastic cup across the table. Her short arms could not reach far enough. The boy was silently laughing at her, she could tell.

"Give it to me!" she yelled.

"No."

"Now!!" she could feel the temper tantrum coming, and oh, if he did not give her the applesauce now, he would regret it immensely.

Itachi smirked, before scooping up a small amount of applesauce on his finger.

"No." he repeated, before wiping the applesauce off on her small nose. She stared at it, then him, in shock. She couldn't just let good applesauce go to waste. She she took it with her own finger and licked it off.

It tasted really sweet.
