Chapter 1

Everything in the Uchiha manor was about as normal as it could get on any given day. The day was coming to an end, all the males of the household had returned home from their training or clan duties and were waiting patiently for dinner to be ready. Mikoto was moving around the kitchen with a grace that only comes with years of training and finesse. Her hands bustling from here to there preparing the food to finally be ready to serve her hungry men and the second female in the kitchen with her. Sakura Haruno has been dating her oldest son Itachi for a little over a year now. She always came over early to help with dinner's preparation when invited over to eat. Mikoto glanced over at the girl and smiled. Sakura made her boys very happy and she could tell Sakura cared deeply for them. Sakura was on the same team as her younger son, Sasuke, and she knew Sakura was always looking after him when they went on missions together.

"Dinners Ready!"

Mikoto called as she picked up the plate she was working on. Sakura quickly took the side dishes off the burner and poured them into serving dishes to be placed at the table. They shared a smile as they made their way to the dining room where all three boys were already sitting. Fugaku, Mikoto's husband and head of the Uchiha clan, sat at the head of the table with his sons on either side of him.

Fugaku was a strong looking man who sometimes looked like he was about to fall over from exhaustion. The clan kept him very busy with paperwork and meetings and tonight it seemed he had an extra hard day. His short black hair clung to his forehead that was crinkled from the face he was making. He kept his eyes closed and his head down even as his wife rubbed her hands over his shoulders after putting the food on the table.

Mikoto took her seat at the opposite end of the table and Sakura sat next to Itachi. The night drowned on and on with Sakura bubbling up about the last mission Sasuke and herself were on with their team, with Sasuke jumping in every once and again to express his views on how smart Naruto, their other teammate, may or may Not be.

"I think you're too hard on him." Sakura said as she looked down at her plate and took as bite of the food.

"We're all he has and treating him harshly just breaks my heart."

"You've let yourself become too attached to the boy, Sakura." Fugaku chimed in. Looking up at her for the first time that night.

Sakura continued to look down at her dish. She stopped trying to eat and was considering Fugaku's words.

"She is right, dear. The boy is an outcast. He has no family. The only semblance he has of faith in people and caring for others is his team." Mikoto tried her hardest to keep Sakura cheery and feeling welcome in her home. Her husband can be rough around the edges but he was a good man. It was tough to tell but his comment was really him showing concern for Sakura. Not wanting her to be too attached to her teammates. As a ninja she should know how easy it can be for something to happen to them.

Meanwhile, under the table, Itachi had placed his hand on Sakura's leg and was rubbing it in a soothing manor. Something he had learned comforted her in their time together. He continued the motion trying to relieve her from feeling anything but happy and filled with joy. Her positive demeanor was what Itachi liked about her. It was so different from what he knew his whole life. Her outlook on the world interested him at first before pulling him in completely. Now he was stuck. Stuck deep in her grasp. She would be his and only his.

"Maybe if he wasn't such a dope-"

"Sasuke! Watch your tongue at my dining room table!"

And then Sasuke saw the thing he was aiming for. The cracking smile on Sakura's face. She couldn't help but look up at him with her bright green eyes shining bright. He smirked right back at her.

Neither of them noticed the glare from Itachi. The way his hand stopped moving on her leg. The way he felt threatened that Sasuke was trying to take what was his from him. The way Itachi saw her face light up just by looking at his little brother. But Mikoto did.

She quickly called Sakura's attention and asked for help clearing the table, which Sakura happily agreed to.

After the moment passed and Sakura and Mikoto had almost finished clearing the table, Itachi noticed the grin Sasuke kept on his face. The way his eyes fallowed Sakura as she left the room and the glance Sasuke shot his way when she had finally left. Basically dangling her heart out in front of him and claiming it as his.

Itachi knew what needed to be done. He needed to prove to everyone, especially his foolish little brother, that Sakura Haruno's heart was his. Mentally…and physically….

A.N. Sooo yeah. I'm not very good at writing and this is very short but I have this whole idea of where to take this fanfic. So tell me if you like it. Even if you don't I'll probably write more.
