I do not own Naruto, Kiba, Sasuke or Itachi.

I own Nijiko.

Unicorn Sky Writer owns Shitumi.

Watch the Forehead!

'Ugh, ninja reports this and ninja reports that, why do they have to be so important? There a waste of bloody time, space and trees if you ask me!' Uchiha Itachi thought bitterly as he finished yet another bit of the paper work.

The twelve year old had been at it for hours and couldn't stand to look at another piece of crisp white paper ever again! In fact, Itachi was so wrapped up in what he was doing; he didn't notice a certain seven year old with hair that spiked up at the back quietly creeping his way towards the exhausted shinobi.

'Ha ha, nii-san, I finally figured out your weak spot! Time to get you!'

In one deft movement, the young Uchiha reached out and tickled his aniki all over his ribs. Itachi let out a yelp as he dropped his paper work and through his arms into the air in surprise, flailing them everywhere.

Sasuke giggled as he continued tickling his poor big brother. He had expected this reaction. What he hadn't expected was for one of Itachi's wildly swinging elbows to sail around and smack him right in the forehead.

Sasuke instantly released his brother before falling backwards as dramatically as possible. The initial joke may not have succeeded, but he would still get his aniki yet!

"Sasuke?" Itachi's concerned voice sounded from above. "Sasuke?!"

Itachi was a hairs breath away from a full-fledged freak-out. He had killed his little brother! 'Oh, no! This is bad; this is very, very bad! What do I do?! Where do I hide the body?! Oh, man, mom's gonna kill me!'

Suddenly the little boy leapt to his feet. Itachi nearly had a heart attack. "Ha ha, aniki! I got you!"

(Five years after this incident)

Sasuke walked into the park with Nijiko. Over on the bench sat Shitumi, talking to Kiba.

"When I'm on sugar rush, don't come near me. I do this." Shitumi waved her arms in the air wildly, her elbow nearly coming into contact with his forehead.

"Hey, watch it! You nearly smacked me one!" Kiba said indignantly.

"Yeah, I'd watch out for that." Both friends looked at the youngest Uchiha in surprise.

He shrugged and simply said, "That actually hurts quite a bit. My brother proved that." Sasuke slipped his headband up so it no longer covered his forehead and rubbed it for emphasis.

Nijiko looked at him in interest. "What's the story behind that?"

Sasuke slipped his protector back on and sulked. "I don't want to talk about it."

And so he left the clearing scowling with everyone watching him in surprise. He knew he shouldn't have said anything. Now, they'll never give him a moment's peace until he spills the beans.

A/N: I know, I know, it sucks! USW and I were talking about crackfics and Shitumi X Kiba friendships at school when one of us thought of this and the whole fic unravelled between us! Happy now, Deidara?

(Deidara) Un?

(Me) Not you! That's USW's nickname!

(Deidara) I didn't know that, un!

R & R, PLEASE!
