I sat at the Killed in action stone taking a break from putting squads together and taking care of patients at the hospital. Putting squads together for missions was my mother's job but she wanted me to be in charge of them the council even agreed to let me do this. My work was never done. I looked at one name on the stone it was my fathers. I never met him but I wish I had. From what my mom had said about him, he was a wonderful man. I never want to get married or love someone. I did not want to be left alone and die alone. "Oh dad why did you leave us so early we need you here." I said before I got up off the ground and decided to return to work. It was a relatively slow day in the hospital. I did my rounds checking on the patients made sure they were comfortable and made sure their medications were taken. I did just about everything here in this place. Every once in a while I would help deliver babies but this was my job making sure the patients weren't in any pain and made sure they were comfortable. One part of this hospital I refused to work at was the OR. I wasn't really good at dealing with blood guts and people screaming in pain when they arrive. Delivering babies was different for me way different.

I was getting ready to leave for home when my mom stopped me. "Make sure you look nice tonight we are having some guests over." She said. I looked at here curious as to who it could be. My mom would have little get togethers and discuss missions and tactics. But why was I involved? "Who's coming over mom?" I asked. Apparently my mom was on her way home as well. I lived with her to keep her company for she was by herself. "Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha." She replied. I never really met them but I have seen them both around town and at the training grounds when I went on my breaks at work or from the office. I did recall hearing about the Uchiha massacre and that they were the only ones that had survived it. It was sad it really was but I didn't understand why they would be joining us for dinner tonight. "What time are they coming over?" I asked. I really wanted to know why they would be joining us for dinner but I would find out tonight. We walked inside the house and I decided to get in the shower and get cleaned up before our guests arrived. The house was always clean there was never anything out of place I guess you could say I was a little ocd when it came to cleaning. After I got ready I decided to help mom with dinner and set the table. A thought was bothering me. I was thinking about moving out of my mom's to have a place of my own I had the money to do so but I didn't want to leave my mom alone. "Mom can I ask you something?" I asked. She looked at me "sure honey what it is?" she replied. I looked down trying to figure out how I would say what I was about to. "What do you think about me moving out of this house?" I asked. She looked down like she was about to cry I was always with her when times got bad. "Honey do what you want to do. You're almost 21 I think it would do you some good. Perhaps you might find someone and settle down." She said happily.

That's one thing that bothered me. She was pushing me to find someone and settle down. I told her I didn't want that but she never listens it seems. And something told me this dinner had something to do with that. This was when I wished my dad was here he would try to reason with her I'd hope he would anyways. Even though he was gone I could sense his spirit with me everywhere I go I would even see him from time to time. I would never tell her that she would probably think I was crazy. There was a knock at the door which meant they were here. "Go answer the door." She said. I walked away from here and rolled my eyes and went to the door. When I opened it there they were Itachi and Sasuke. Sasuke looked like he didn't want to be here and Itachi just looked at me with those onyx eyes. His long black hair tied back neatly. He was handsome but I didn't really care about that. It seemed that they knew something I didn't.

Itachi's p.o.v

The door opened and a young woman stood in the doorway. She stood about 5'7" with snow white hair and bright turquoise blue eyes. "You must be the Uchiha brothers my mom was telling me about please come in." She said. She must be Yuuna the one that Tsunade was telling me about having an arranged marriage with. I wasn't really up for this but it was part of my duties as the new leader of the Uchiha clan. Tsunade told me she didn't want to see her only daughter alone so she thought of this idea. I could tell she had no idea as of what was going on when she finds out she surely would not be happy. This dinner definitely would be interesting. I do recall seeing Yunna walking by to the KIA stone. She was busy helping her mom out as well as taking care of people in the hospital. We followed her into the dining room where He mom was putting food onto the table. "Welcome Itachi and Sasuke I'm glad you two could join us for dinner." Her mom said. My brother and I bowed "Thank you Tsunade-sama for allowing us to join you and your daughter for dinner." I told her. We sat down and began chatting well all of us except of Yunna. She was drinking wine and listening to the conversation. She also seemed to be in deep thought.

I wondered when Tsunade would tell Yuuna why we were here. Sasuke just came because I asked him to plus Tsunade also said I was ok if I brought him to join us. "So Yunna your mom tells me that you put the squads together for missions?" I asked. I wanted to get to know this mysterious woman that would become my wife. She looked at me with those piercing turquoise eyes. " Yes I do I make sure that not only the squad is good enough but I make sure that the possibility of the squads making it back with everyone alive." She replied. I nodded "that's a smart tactic now you also work at the hospital too now correct?" I asked. She nodded "yes I make sure everyone is comfortable and that their meds get taken as well as help my mom deliver babies from time to time." She replied. She certainly was something else to be able to do what she does. She also doesn't seem to be home a lot either sense she's either at one place or the other. "Well I guess it's time to tell you why they are here Yuuna." Tsunade said. I Watched Yuuna's expression change. She wanted to know. "Itachi is here because I have arranged a marriage for you and him." Tsunade said. I watched Yuuna's eyes roll back into her head as she fainted and fell out of her chair. I we ran to her side as she laid there unconscious. "Is she going to be alright?" I asked. Tsunade checked her over "she will be fine it was too much for her." She said. I nodded before picking her up "Do you want me to put her in bed?" I asked. She nodded at me "Yes please ill clean up here." She said. I nodded as I took her to her room and laid her down on her bed. She was beautiful but that didn't mean anything. Beauty was only skin deep it was personality that was the key for me. I let her be and decided to help her mom clean but Sasuke already beat me to it. After thanking Tsunade for dinner Sasuke and I left for home. "What do you think Sasuke?" I asked. He nodded "She's pretty but I don't think she took the news well let alone I don't think she will let you win her over without a fight." He replied. I nodded for he was right. She wasn't going to let me win her heart that easily besides she seemed like a little spitfire. I liked a challenge.
