Hi, I'm kind of new on this website and english isn't my main language so it may contain errors, I hope you guys enjoy what I wish to share and help me to improve!
It's an ItaSasuHina/SasuHina (Most of it SasuHina) fiction based on a canon-ish "what if" universe, where the Uchiha onslaught occurred some years later than it was suppose to happen. and it takes place when Itachi was suppose to kill his clan and leave Konohagakure, but on here he's still on ANBU, living normally at Konohagakure with his family and then he gets himself before an arranged Marriage. I've already written most of it, but I'll separate in different chapters so it's easier to review and post. I'll also do my best to keep them all in character, and to keep the universe as close as possible from the original. (Yes they fight usejutsu and all stuff) Also I'm rating it M because of violence, suggestive lemon and sex on later chapters.
Title: White Flower
Pairings: Itachi/Sasuke/Hinata (Mostly Sasuke/Hinata)
Rating: M (May contain violence, language, suggestive lemon and sex on later chapters)
Genre: Comedy/Romance and a bit of Drama
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters. They all belong to Masashi Kishimoto, which is an awesome author.
Chapter 1 – The Proposal
It was almost evening when the shinobi got back to the leaf village. It had been a tiresome mission and he couldn't wait to see the look on his little brother's face when he arrived a day earlier that he was suppose to come back. Sweat came down his long raven-black hair and he was a mess. Itachi normally didn't come hurt from his missions but his clothes always been a mess. After stopping by the bathhouse and the dango shop, the 16 years old ANBU finally stood at the front door of his house, suppressing a smile when he heard his 10 years brother rushing towards the door and then he swung it open and in a heartbeat, the boy flung into Itachi's arms, squeezing the older boy in a 'bear hug'.
"Aniki! You're home early! Now that's awesome I just can't wait to show you the jutsu I've been practicing and about the academy! You will train me won't y-" The little boy got interrupted by a sudden poke on his forehead and then made a pout, that Itachi found it to be the most cute thing on the whole world. He then pulled his younger brother in a tight hug and smiled at him. Sasuke was surely the person Itachi loved the most, and he could just never get enough of his little brother.
Soon Mikoto and Fugaku, their parents, showed up to greet Itachi and his father shot him a glance that he knew what it meant: Private talking about clan heritage and all the boring stuff.
Itachi then excused himself and reluctantly left Sasuke pouting at the living room and followed his father to his office. He could hear Sasuke mumbling something like
"He never has time for me" and "Father always does that" and suppressed a smile. His schedule was empty for the next week and he would have plenty time for his otouto and he couldn't wait to tell him when they were finally alone. Fugaku then sat at his chair and gestured to Itachi to get a seat as well.
"I'm ok like this father, thanks" He said refusing to sit. He was determined to make it quick and then spend time with Sasuke.
"Itachi." He started and the boy knew that by the tone on his voice, he was annoyed by something and every time it happened, he was about to propose something nonsense or force him to do boring clan stuff. He knew he was suppose to become the leader one day and his father held high expectations on him, that's why he always been so strict. He could already imagine he was about to schedule boring meetings within the clan members but he definitely wasn't prepared to what his father was about to tell him. "Itachi, you're betrothed to the Hyuuga heiress, Hyuuga Hinata."
The boy stood there, widening his eyes in utter surprise. What? Betrothed? With a Hyuuga? Wasn't she a little girl almost the age of his otouto? Also… Didn't the Uchiha and Hyuuga have always been in an endless quarrel?
"Say something. She will be moving in for a week starting tomorrow so you can court her, and then later you'll be sent to the Hyuuga feud to meet her family. It had been already decided between me and Hyuuga Hiashi. Your missions for the next weeks have been rescheduled" His father straightened his eyes at the boy's still frozen expression.
"Yes father, but I'd like to save some of this time to train Sasuke." His father growled in disapproval.
"I think you and Sasuke are way too close, it's about time you come of age to prefer the company of girls." Itachi couldn't utter a single word. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. Firstly, his father announces that he is already betrothed to a little girl possibly younger than his otouto. Then, he suggests that he is too close to his brother with an irritating tone as if Itachi wanted to do something dirty with his otouto. The boy suppressed his flaring sharingan before his father could see. He was doing his best to hide his emotions and control the sudden anger.
"May I ask one more thing?" Itachi said with short pauses between the words, getting his temper back to normal.
"Say it." His father said stretching on his chair, watching every body signal from the boy. He was irritated over that but this alliance would be something he couldn't miss on the actual circumstances. He wouldn't let Itachi spoil it.
"Why the Hyuuga?" Fugaku watched Itachi for a while.
"We'll need decoy allies soon, so no one will notice when the time comes to. Seems like Hyuuga Hiashi proposed this alliance to fortify their primary family… It seems like their heiress can't fight properly or so. Well, whatever." He said annoyed. He knew Hiashi proposed that because it would be a huge advantage for his clan, to get a genius shinobi like his heir under his command and it would give an use to his unable child. Not that the girl was unable or something like that, but for a Hyuuga who can't fight, it's a terrible flaw. But he knew that for Itachi, he would be able to turn the table on his favor. The bloody Hyuuga hated his daughter. If she came to love Itachi, it would be easy to have the Hyuuga on his hands, she may not be able to fight, but she still was the heiress. Itachi watched his father lost in thoughts and then sighed.
"Is there something else father?" He sighed. He wanted to spend time with his otouto and think over what was just pushed onto him.
"Go to sleep soon. She'll be here at 6 AM to stay the whole week." Itachi sighed looking at the clock. It was past 8 PM now and he still has to eat dinner.
"I understand." He said emotionlessly and bowed to his father. "Excuse me father." He said before leaving Fugaku's office.
The Uchiha relaxed on his chair thinking over the alliance. Nothing could go wrong. He needed full trust from Konohagakure leaders and to have a trump like the Hyuuga's allegiance was something he couldn't let it pass. All Itachi needs to do is conquer the girl.
Itachi sighed as he went to the dining room. He was annoyed by what was imposed on him. He didn't want to marry nor have a girlfriend. He was perfectly fine like that. He didn't have the need to be with anyone beside… Sasuke looked up at him when he entered the room and it felt like his otouto's pout lighted up his mood. He smiled walking towards his little brother to poke his forehead and chuckle on his adorable irritated face. Sasuke was everything to Itachi and if he felt an uncontestable love for him even if it is brotherly love or something different, he just felt he couldn't go on a day without seeing his little brother.
"Aniki! Let's eat! And then you'll show me your last mission records right?" Itachi smiled at him while he helped himself with some rice and pork buns. Sasuke started to eat as well.
"Won't you go chubby for eating twice?" Itachi provoked his baby brother. Sasuke blushed.
"I haven't eaten yet! I was waiting for you." He mumbled crossing his arms and then Itachi stuffed a bun into his mouth using his own hashi. Sasuke looked up at him getting all red while chewing on the bun. Itachi chuckled. Sasuke was beyond cute all embarrassed over getting fed on mouth.
The Uchiha brothers finished eating and then Itachi followed to his room and unpacked his things. He counted from 1 to 10 and then smiled. Sasuke always sneaked into his room.
"You're late." Itachi said teasing and Sasuke blushed. His baby brother laid on his futon and curled up close to Itachi. He sighed poking the little boy's forehead and then showed him a scroll with the records of his last mission. Sasuke looked amazed by the number of enemies Itachi defeated. They spent a good hour talking about his missions and reading scrolls.
"Wow you're so strong Nii-san. Do you think I can make up to ANBU as well someday?" Itachi caressed his baby brother's spiky raven-black hair that was incredibly soft.
"Sure. You're my foolish otouto. You're strong! I'll help you to train and…" He remembered the conversation with his father a while back and then let out a sigh.
"What's wrong nii-san?" Sasuke looked at him with round worried puppy eyes. Itachi had to struggle with himself to not hug and squeeze Sasuke to death.
"Sasuke." He said in a serious tone and the younger boy looked at him startled.
"I don't have any mission for the next weeks and I planned on training and spending time with you." Sasuke blinked in disbelief and then jumped on Itachi in a tight hug. Itachi felt his chest warm up and continued. He knew that the next sentence would upset Sasuke. "But father asked me to do clan duties on these weeks." Sasuke looked down saddened. Itachi held his chin to make him look at him. "Hey. I'll find time for us."
Sasuke squint his eyes at Itachi. "You promise?"
Itachi chuckled. "I promise." He looked at his baby brother's face for a while and both blushed and looked somewhere else. Itachi then sighed and lied on his futon, feeling his body relaxing. He poked Sasuke on his forehead and smiled.
"You better go back to your room now, it's getting late and we need to sleep."
Sasuke looked at him reluctantly and then mumbled. "Can I sleep with you today nii-san?"
Itachi sighed opening his arms receiving an overjoyed Sasuke between them. "Only a bit, then I'll put you back in your room. You know father doesn't like when you sleep here."
Sasuke sighed sniffing into Itachi's chest. "I like you so much nii-san… I just want to enjoy the time you're home."
Itachi felt his chest warming up on his brother's words. "I like you too, foolish otouto."
Sasuke pouted but didn't protest, he just closed his eyes enjoying the moment. "You promise to never leave me, nii-san?"
Itachi smiled. He wished he could promise that. Well, he could, but still would be difficult to be with Sasuke the whole time. "I'll always be with you, foolish otouto even if it's personally or in your heart." He said caressing his baby brother's spiky yet soft hair.
"So… What father wanted to talk with you?" the boy asked while sniffing his brother's kimono. There were no secrets between them, except for those that implied ultra secret missions from ANBU.
"He announced that I'm betrothed to the Hyuuga Heiress."
Sasuke stopped dead. "What?"
Itachi sighed. "I know, I've thought the same."
Sasuke held on Itachi's kimono tightly. "You can't get married nii-san!"
Itachi frowned at this. He wasn't the one who asked to be betrothed and Sasuke had just sniffled? "Are you crying Sasuke?"
His brother didn't respond. "Sasuke?" He held his baby brother's chin and made him look at him. "It's okay… I'm not obliged to marry. It's just courting, if it doesn't work out, I won't marry." He said softly drying Sasuke's tears with his thumb. It was heartbreaking to see his baby brother with that pained expression.
"Besides she's a girl of your age. If I was to marry her, it would take years. I'm not marrying a child."
Sasuke shot a glare at him. "You're marrying no one aniki!" Itachi laughed.
"Uh... Did you say she's my age?" The younger Uchiha thought for a while and then someone just popped into his head. He pictured a really frail and shy girl who always sat alone on the classroom and looked at that stupid Naruto with longing. "Hyuuga… Hinata?" He said vaguely and Itachi nodded in silence.
"Yeah that was the name father said." Sasuke bit his lower lip. Who that girl thought she was to come into his life and steal away his brother? He'd make her life on the ninja academy miserable.
"She's coming tomorrow to stay for a week for courting." Itachi sighed. How the hell he was supposed to court a 10 years old?
Sasuke seemed like his Christmas had came earlier. She would stay here for a week? The boy thought. That would be way more than enough for her to regret being born and coming near his brother. He hugged Itachi in a possessive way and closed his eyes with a smirk.
Itachi wondered what his baby brother was up to. He tugged him closer and closed his eyes. Tomorrow would be the start of an awful week. He only wanted to rest for now. He drifted in thoughts when he felt the baby boy loosening the grip. He had already fallen asleep? He smiled looking at his peaceful expression. He really wished things to stay like this.
Whew. This is the end of chapter 1, the next one is coming soon. (I have basically the whole fic already written)
Sasuke was not amused. :3
