Itachi stared. The scene in front of him wasn't something he had thought would greet him when he came home from his latest mission. Not that he was complaining. Not at all. The view was quite pleasing. There was Neji on all fours scrubbing the living room floor, wearing only his black anbu tank top and black boxers. The younger ninja turned his head to look at Itachi. An amused smirk found its way on Itachis lips as he saw that Neji was sucking on a lollipop.

"I didn't realise it's was already time for spring cleaning." Itachi said mockingly.

Neji took the sucker out of his mouth. It was bright pink and Itachis smirk widened even more.

"Very funny. I got blood all over the floor when I came home last night from my mission. You wouldn't want to jump over the blood pools when you go to the bathroom, would you?"

"Uh-huh. What's with the lollipop?"

"It's a gift of gratitude from a little girl whose cat I saved from a tree." Neji answered and put the candy in question back to his mouth. Itachi just kept looking at the Hyuga boy smirking smugly.

"What now?" Neji demanded.

"Nothing, keep on the good work." Itachi said taking a more comfortable position leaning against the doorframe.
