The night was numb cold. The gust of wind that hit Uchiha Hinata's skin made her shiver involuntarily. After a minute of gazing at the starry skies, she felt a hand on her waist. She guided it until the person behind her completely held her. Tears flowed down her face. "Sasuke what are we going to do? Their intentions on him are showing." Sasuke held her tighter as he tried to soothe her. "No one's going to touch Sasaki, Hinata. No one. I won't ever let them lay even one finger on him."

Dinner on the Uchiha household passed solemnly. Everybody was already on their own rooms, and the two young wedded Uchihas was snuggly sleeping, a little body of about three years in between them.

After four years…

A raven-haired boy was training with his father on their backyard when a man coming from inside their house suddenly got his attention. "Otou-san! Look! Look! It's Uncle!" Sasuke looked at the direction his son was already running at.

"Uncle Itachi!" the boy squealed gleefully.

Itachi smiled at Sasuke before looking at the boy running to him. "You sure have grown so much, Sasaki." His husky laugh rang throughout the backyard as he lifted the carbon copy of his little brother swaying him like a little girl. The boy was so much like Sasuke except for the eyes. His eyes were mismatched. The left eye was same as his, fearful as every Uchiha's bloodline limit. The right eye was pale with a shade of lavender hues, same as his sister-in-law's. The combination was awkward, but Itachi was sure as hell that it's deadlier than a pure pair of Sharingan or Byakugan eyes.

"Put him down, Itachi. It's not good for him to get used to it." Sasuke commanded quite loudly at Itachi, and added in a soft whisper, "Don't make him look like a gay…"

With a sharp ear, Itachi caught up with what he mumbled and resumed swaying the mini Sasuke in his arms while immediately mocking Sasuke, "Awwwww why can't I do this to him, Sasuke? You enjoyed it when you were young… not to mention you enjoyed it while you were wearing mother's frilly dress."

Itachi put his nephew down. The young boy was snorting already, causing his father to blush madly.

"You tricked me into putting that dress! You bastard!"

With that Itachi laughed with the assistance of his own nephew's boisterous one.

Sasuke came running for his son, who rounded his uncle and whose uncontrollable laugh still resounded throughout their backyard. "I'm going to get you! You traitor of a son! You're supposed to be standing up for your father saying how manly I am, not siding with your uncle!"

When Sasuke caught up with his son, he tickled the small guy with all his might.

"You boys sure are enjoying yourselves huh?" Hinata stepped out from the backyard porch and went walking to her family.

The three boys stared at her. Itachi nodding at her direction with a smile to show politeness, while the older of the other two set down his child (who was already hanging upside down on Sasuke from all the tickling by the way =)) ) smiling sheepishly at his own wife. Sasaki ran to his mother and hugged her tightly; all the while he stuck his tongue out to his father.

As Sasuke was just opening his mouth to do the same Hinata intervened with a smile, "Don't be such a kid, Sasuke."

"Come on. Let's go inside dinner is already ready. Come join us Itachi."

Itachi was just solemnly staring at the scene in front of him before Hinata called him. He lagged behind his brother's family with one thought in mind… "I won't let father and his people touch this child. I won't let him destroy this family."
