" Itachi, I expect to see you at the meeting tomorrow." His voice was stern and left no room for argument, his eyes widen slightly. What happened to his obedient son. He had seen that look before, but never had he been on the receiving end.

" I have more important matters to attend."Standing to his feet, Itachi made his way to the door. Itachi's father could feel the rage building in the pit of his stomach.

" Itachi, if you walk out that door you will never see that Higuarshi girl again." Itachi stopped," If you truly believe that you can stop me then you are more of a fool than I gave you credit for." He walked out. The old man truly believed that he could stop him from seeing Kagome. His mind began to wonder. Kagome, Just the thought of her name was enough to make his frozen heart skip a beat. It funny how his feet always brought him to his- no their- favorite spot, a hidden hot spring that him and his miko stumbled upon after a fairly easy mission. Stripping the coal-eyed ninja eased his way into the springs. Leaning up against a nice smooth rock, his eyes closed in bliss. It was rare times like these that the prodigy was finally able to relax, no little brothers, demanding fathers, and submissive mothers, just peace. His eyes opened slowly, It would be better if she was here. A sigh escaped him before he could catch it. In a couple more days she'll be home from her mission. A shiver of pleasure shot up his spine, the things he would do to her when she returned. Soaking a little bit longer he got out and prepared to go back home. Why aren't the lights on, He tensed as his eyes glared at his house. Something wasn't right, reaching for his kunai just in case he continued onward. Voices, his grip tightened as he hid his aura. He edged closer to the voices. "Hn It was just father", he turned around and began walking to the entrance of his house. " wait a minute was father talking to Shisui?", his feet carried him back on their own accord. His eyes widened, it was Shisui which meant that Kagome was home, his eyes flashed with something akin to lust. Preparing to turn back around and leave he could feel anger swelling up inside of him like lava. What did they say about Kagome, straining his ear to listen he felt like ripping his father limb from limb. Watching his best friend leave he fought down the urge to attack his dear father. It was as though something inside of him snapped, he turned away and retired to his room.

" How did the mission go?"

" It went... nice."

"Hm, and Kagome?"

"Taken care of."

"Good" Fugaku nodded his head to Shisui as a dismissal. Smirking he made his way inside, Now that the Higurashi brat was taken care of Itachi will finally be able to focus on uplifting their clan.
