Thanks to all the reviews I got from Loveless - although it wasn't much it still meant a lot to me - I decided to write a new fanfiction! So please review/comment! It really does make my day!

The first few chapters are just going to show you the strong bound between the characters. I know it's going to be cheesy, and maybe OC but please keep in mind that this was when both Itachi and Sasuke were still young and very much close to each other.

Mixed Emotions

An Uchiha Brothers Love Triangle

Chapter 1~

It was just a normal day in Konoha. The sun was as up as usual and Mitsuki was walking towards the academy. What was different today though was that it would be her very first day in said academy, meaning she was on the road to becoming a Kunoichi. Just thinking about going on missions and exploring outside the village sent thrills through her.

"Mi-Ki-chan!" Mitsuki, or Mi-Ki who her two closest friends call her by, turned around and saw one of those two friends running towards her with the second walking calmly behind.

"Hi, Sasu-kun!" The earlier of the two had spiky jet black hair and wore his usual black shirt and white shorts. He stopped short when he reached Mitsuki, a small frown on his lips.

"Why do you keep calling me that?" He asked with his nose wrinkled.

"Because if I call you Sasuke-kun I would sound like all your fangirls." She stuck her tongue at him childishly.

"We wouldn't want that to happen." A tall, darker voice said.

Mitsuki turned to the elder brother with a smile and a hug, "Good morning Ichi-nii."

"Morning to you too, Mi-Ki." Itachi ruffled the hair of the small girl around his waist.

She released him with a pout, straining her now messy hair. "You did that on purpose, Ichi-nii."

Itachi just chuckled and said, "Come on you two, you don't want to be late on your first day, do you?"

"Of course not!" Sasuke replied as if offended, "Race you there Mi-Ki-chan!"

"You're on!" Mitsuki cried before the two kids took off.

Itachi sighed, but a small smile played on his lips.

"Wahh, I thought the first day would be more exciting!" Mitsuki complained with a pout.

"Define exciting." Sasuke mumbled, "Those girls seemed pretty excited…"

The raven haired girl laughed, wiping a stray tear from her eye. "The look on your face never gets old."

Sasuke huffed, rolling his eyes. "So…ramen at six?"

"Sounds good." She nodded, "What are you doing till then?"

"Got to help Okaa-san around the house."

"Alright, see you." Mitsuki pecked Sasuke on the cheek with a grin before taking off towards the training grounds. Leaving behind a flushed eight-year-old boy.

~O~O~

Mitsuki focused her chakra, forming a spike of ice in her palm before twisting her body around and shooting it towards the tree. She might as well been aiming at nothing because the spike missed by a mile and landed uselessly on the ground. She stood there, panting and on the edge of collapsing. She could fell how practicing the past three hours had drained her chakra, but she had been so close. She could easily make ice-spikes, but it took a lot of concentration and extra chakra to be able to shoot them off, let alone in the direction you wanted them to go.

Mitsuki gave up on trying to hold herself up and plopped down on her behind before falling onto her back. She stared up at the tree branches and leaves above her, felling like her body weighed a ton.

"I didn't teach you that ability just so you can work yourself till you faint from exhaustion."

A shadow loamed over her and Mitsuki saw familiar onyx eyes as she was lifted up by her savior. "I've almost got it mastered." The small girl said with pride, adoration in her eyes as she stared up at Itachi.

He chuckled and smiled, "I can see that. But you have to take care of yourself too, Mitsuki."

"Hai, hai." She said cutely, closing her eyes.

"Don't fall asleep just yet, Mitsuki." She felt herself being placed on his lap and opened her eyes to look up at her 'older brother' curiously.

"Happy Birthday, Mitsuki." He smiled gently.

She blushed, looking away sheepishly. "I hoped you guys would forget."

"How come?" He ran his fingers though her hair, knowing it soothed her.

She pursed her lips in a pout. "Because you and Sasuke-kun always get me things even though you guys have already given me so much."

Gently he lifted her chin up so she would look up at him, "We get you things because we love you."

She gave him an innocent look, her dark brown eyes seeming to sparkle in the light. "I love you too, Ichi-nii."

Itachi chuckled, kissing her forehead. "You're too cute for your own good."

Mitsuki giggled, her cheeks turning pink. Turning her body around the best she could she wrapped her arms around his chest, burying her face into his shirt. She felt his chest vibrate as he laughed at her behavior. His arm winded around her while his fingers treaded through her medium length hair again.

"Mitsuki…" The young girl tilted her head up to look at him. "Promise me you'll never forget me."

"How could I forget Ichi-nii?" She gave him a bright smile, not noticing how his eyes seemed softer with sadness. "Ichi-nii's being silly." She giggled.

"Maybe I am." Itachi agreed with a false smile. "Here, you have yet to open your presents."

Mitsuki could only smile as she was handed the katana that had been sitting against the tree and a small box he pulled out of his pocket. Her eyes widened at the sight of the weapon, but then a smile spread across her lips and she looked up to him, "Thank you, Ichi-nii."

"I'm glad you like it. Open the other one." Itachi watched her set down the sword before moving to the black box. She took a sharp intake of air when she saw what was inside. "It's so pretty…" She whispered, speechless. She removed a silver chain that had a ring hanging from it. The sunlight caught the small diamonds embedded into the ring before reflecting a mix of colors.

"Let me put it on you." Itachi retrieved the necklace from her before moving his hands to the back of her neck to clip it on.

Mitsuki fingered the ring around her neck, staring at it the best she could. Completely unaware of the pair of eyes that stared straight at her. "You look beautiful, Mitsuki."

She blushed, relocating her eyes back to him. "Thank you so much, Ichi-nii."

"It was my pleasure." Itachi gave her one last kiss on the forehead before he lifted her onto her feet and stood up, "I'd better get you to Sasuke." He grabbed the katana on the ground and tried to hand it to her, but she launched herself at him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"I'm so lucky to have you two…" Mitsuki sniffed.

Itachi frowned, bending down to look at her. Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes, which she tried to rub away. "Shh, don't cry, Mitsuki." Using his thumb, he wiped away a stray tear that trailed down her cheek.

"I'm crying because I'm so happy to have an older brother like you." She explained, grasping his hand in her two smaller ones.

Itachi gave her a sad smile, using his free hand to wipe away the rest of her tears. "Can you make me another promise, Mitsuki?"

She nodded mutedly.

"Promise me you'll always care for me."

The small girl nodded, "Always."

"Good girl." Itachi smiled. "Let's go then."
