Mikoto stood washing the dishes, she was surprised when her twelve year old son Itachi said "Mom", normally Itachi was very quiet and didn't speak to her, she became excited, thinking that he was going to ask her about a girl or something.

Itachi sat down at the kitchen table.

"What is it Itachi-kun?" Mikoto turned around

"…I wanted to ask you something,"

Mikoto really got her hopes up now, she was very curious

"Sure, what is it?" Mikoto said sweetly, Itachi was looking down at the table

"…Why do I have the name 'Itachi' meaning weasel and Sasuke is named after some legendary ninja warrior?" Itachi frowned, looking at his mother.

Mikoto's eyebrow twitched and she was a little disappointed at what this was all about…

"Well you see…Itachi is a very special name, to me at least…" Mikoto explained

"Yeah, but shouldn't I have the better name seeing as I'm the first born!" Itachi scowled

"To me, Itachi is a lovely name. Your name is Itachi because you're named after your great-grandfather" Mikoto said

"I am…I didn't know that!" Itachi said surprised, and looked thoughtful

"I wanted to name my first born Itachi because in case I had a girl in Sasuke's place…^^" Mikoto smiled cheerfully

"So my name is special?" Itachi shrugged

"Of course it is,"

Just then little seven years old Sasuke walked in

"Hello Sasuke," Mikoto said warmly

"Hi okaa-san, hi nii-san…" Sasuke grinned

"What are you grinning for?" Itachi asked

"Itachi means weasel! That means I'm gonna call you Weasel from now on!" Sasuke laughed

Itachi twitched a little

"No you will not!" he said annoyed

"But that's what your name means!" Sasuke said innocently

Mikoto just turned to continue the dishes, and smiled to herself

"…Sasuke, if you dare call me Weasel…I will call you…" Itachi thought about it

"Call me what?" Sasuke prompted

Itachi had a sly grin on his face "I'll call you Sausage from now on, seeing as that sounds like Sasuke. Even when I come to pick you up from the Academy, all the kids will hear me call you Sausage and then start to call you that themselves…" Itachi laughed

"Mom! Itachi's calling me Sausage!" Sasuke complained

"Now, now, stop it both of you. You call each other by the names I gave you, and that's Itachi and Sasuke" Mikoto smiled

Itachi stuck his tongue out at his brother

"Well, I have some homework to do anyways…later" Itachi got up and left the room

"Hehe…Weasel…" Sasuke laughed to himself.
