"Hello Itachi-kun. Are you here to pick up Sasuke?" she asked him when she reaches him fighting the urge to hug him and kiss him it been two week mission and he was on one two week before that so it been four weeks they seen each other.
"Yes I am Mai-Kun." He said emotionless. When deep down he want grab her in to his arms and kiss her but thank to him being the Uchiha Heir his clan didn't approve of the adopted daughter of the fourth Hokage. they thought she would ruin the cause of the clan. So Mai and Itachi have to hide their feeling and only showing it when it just them or when they are only with the younger Uchiha and Naruto. Mai looked at the building where the Academy and the children started to come out. Sasuke came out and ran to his brother arms and showing him how he got an A on his first test. Itachi was so proud of him.
"MAI!" yelled a yellow spiked hair, blue eyes boy came running to her. Mai open her arms and picked up naruto. She smiling happily that her brother was having a good day that day and wasn't being treat badly like he has been all his life.
"NARUTO! Did you miss me? Have you been good while I was gone?" she asked her brother while she walked by Itachi and Sasuke.
"Yea I missed you and I was good look I got a C on my test," he said proudly. Mai looked at him.
"Naruto you know that a C isn't that good you should try harder ok but at least you didn't fail so all I'm saying try little hard next time ok," said Mai as naruto nodded.
"So I was wondering do you and Naruto want to come with me and Sasuke to the park," asked Itachi knowing that she will understand that it was their hidden park they found and the two of them can be together while sasuke and naruto play.
"Oh I don't know what naruto would want to do," she said playing around "Naruto did get a C we should go work on that."
"Mai please can we go I promise get a B on the next test Please," Begged Naruto with his puppy eye look.
"Of course we can go I been away too long and I want to spend some time with Itachi too," she said putting naruto. Sasuke and Naruto started to run to the play ground while Mai and Itachi walked behind them talking to each other about what was going on in the village. When they got there the boys went on to play while Itachi and Mai sat on the bench watching them.
"So did you go to Suna before you came home?" asked Itachi sitting next to her with his arm around her.
"Yes I did for only two days. I really didn't want to be gone from naruto for too long. I know it bad but my brothers and sister in Suna doesn't need me as much as naruto well Gaara need me but he has the older ones while I'm gone unlike Naruto who has no one." Mai said sadly looking at Sasuke and Naruto playing. "I also want to come home because I missed you and wanted to be with you before one of us had another mission," add Mai looking at Itachi. Itachi looked at her in her eyes seeing all the sadness and the pain she has to deal with. That what he noticed first while he was on a mission with her that first time that she had the same eyes as his. He took his hand moved it to her chin lifting it and kiss her lips with passion. It was something he wanted to do since he saw her today. Mai kissed him back they kept kissing each other until Itachi broke the kiss Saying "I missed you too." Then kissed her again on the lips breaking the kiss quickly since sasuke and naruto are there and it could have lead to something mai and Itachi didn't want the younger ones to see.
"Someday you and I won't have to hide our feelings for each other," Itachi said getting tired of the fact he can't be with her in public and worry that some day that she going get tired of it and leave him for someone she can be in pubic with.
"I Know but I rather hide our relationship then not have one at all because life without you is a person running a body without a heart." Mai said reassure him that she won't leave him just because of all the hiding and sneaking around. After an hour at the park every one start to walk to their home until Shisui came up.
"Itachi, Mai the Third Hokage want to see you in his office. Itachi I already told your father that you were helping sasuke with some skills and that was why you were running late from bring him home. he also knows now that the third needs to see you right away and had to take sasuke with," Said Shisui covering Itachi and Mai. As they left itachi turn to Shisui and nodded to him of away to say thank you.
When they got there they put sasuke and naruto in a room that naruto stay at while Mai is gone and went in to the Hokage office.
"You asked to see us my lord," said Mai bowing her head along with Itachi.
"Yes I have a mission for you and Itachi both," he said "The mission is to protect the kazekage's three children from harm. There was a threat against their lives. Right now their uncle is with them watching them but the Kazekage want help."
"We'll leave in the morning since Itachi has things to do tonight but I want to leave as soon as possible," said Mai with a cold non emotional face.
"The family things can wait Mai if you want we can leave right away since it is your siblings," said Itachi knowing that what she wanted to do and he did not want to go to the clan meeting tonight.
"You guys will leave in the morning so Itachi you can do the family thing you need to do and Mai you can spend some time with naruto before you leave," Said the third . then looking at Mai with worried eyes said " Mai if you have to do it to protect your family then do it but remember you are always welcome here while I am I live." Mai nodded and left with a confuse Itachi.
