This story has nothing to do with ym other ItaOC fic "You Are My SunShine". In fact, Sunna is not in this fic at all. So, you do not have to read the other story to get this one. If you want to read it, feel welcome to do so. She is much different than the OC in this fic.

Anyway, this has been in my head for ages. I can't say when it will be finished, or how long it will be. I hope you enjoy it so far though. Itachi's a bit different though. I might continue this story after. Please tell me what you all think.

Enjoy, and please review! The tittle is what it is for now since I must go soon. Any input on what the title should be, please tell me!

Love. It was something that Uchiha Itachi had never fully been given. He had his family's love; his little brother and mother gave all they could to make him happy for half of his life. His father was different. He loved him for what he was; a tool for the Uchiha Clan's greedy needs. After he killed his clan he never experienced love ever again.

However, he would always remember his first lover. He would always remember his only love of his life; the one who helped shape himself, the one who stayed by his side no matter what, the one who loved him much more than what words could ever describe. He would never forget her. Itachi would never forget Asa, the love of his life.

She too was a member of the Uchiha Clan. It was not incest. They were very distant cousins, being removed from the family many times and their parents being long-lined cousins to one another as well. Itachi knew he would never forget the way they met.

He was different than the other children in the academy. He already knew what the shinobi world was like. It was dangerous, scary, deadly, and he had witnessed the heart of war only three years before.

Yet all the other children seemed so excited to start. He sat alone in the classroom, arms neatly folded onto the desk, his fairly long, thin, black hair tied in a low ponytail. On his face were two wrinkles, one on either side of his cheek. His dark, onyx eyes looked forward, ignoring the calls, chattering, and laughter of the children around him. Soon class would start he hoped. He would do as his father told him to. He would learn to be the best shinobi.

As he sat in class distant from the other students, something peculiar had happened. A young girl about his age, seven, jumped up beside him.

"Hi!" she had said. She smiled brightly and her pale cheeks were tinged with red. "I'm Uchiha Asa! What's your name?"

Itachi stared at the girl. She had thick, messy black hair that stopped a few centimeters past her neck. Her eyes were dark too, but friendliness could be seen through them. She wore a pink top and red kapris. As the boy further inspected her, Itachi noticed she had bandages all over her, scratches, and grass stains covered her elbows and knees.

'Who is this girl?' he asked himself. 'Is she family?'

He remained silent, still pondering about the girl. Asa leaned her face into his.

"Hey, aren't you gunna say something?" she asked. Itachi in turn cringed back. He didn't like her closeness. She was too hyperactive for his likes. Then again, if he replied, she would go away.

"I'm Uchiha Itachi." He stated in a calm voice. He started to face back to the board, eager to see his new senei walk in.

"Oh, you're an Uchiha too? That's so cool!" she giggled. "So you're going to be a ninja too?"

"Yes." He said. He realized she most likely wasn't going to be leaving him alone.

"That's awesome! We can be on a team or something! Imagine it, two Uchiha's on the same team, kicking bad guy butt!" she pretended to punch imaginary villains in front of her. Asa looked like a boxer with her facial expression and gestures. Itachi wasn't amused.

"It won't be like that at all." He lightly growled. She knew nothing of shinobi, he knew that already.

"Heh, well, I don't know any shinobi techniques; yet." She laughed off his response.

The young, male Uchiha frowned. Did she not get the hint that he didn't like her? His eyes trailed down to her bruised body again.

Curiosity got the best of him and he had to ask, "How did you get all those cuts and scrapes?"

"Oh, these?" she motioned to the bandages. She smiled a cheesy grin. "I was climbing a tree when I got this one. And I got this scrape when I fell out of it. Oh, and these scratches I got when I was wrestling the Hyuuga's cat! He's a tiger!"

Itachi nodded as if listening. Obviously, it wasn't a good thing to ask. She just kept talking and talking, pointing to each and every wound on her. She was obviously over-reacting about some of the events. When would she shut her mouth?

"So what do you like to do, Itachi?" she finally changed the subject after a lone time.

He kept silent. He didn't have any hobbies really. And nothing would be as exciting as the way she spent her days, running around chasing cats and playing ninja.

"I don't do anything." He said in a bored tone of voice. Asa stared at him for a minute. Then she moved closer to his ear, and lifted a hand to whisper.

"Hey, Itachi, how old are you?"

He made a small face, confused. "I'm seven. Why are you asking?"

"Woah, really?!" she exclaimed, jumping back in her seat. "I thought you were like, a mini grown-up or something! You're so serious and stubborn like one!"

Itachi twitched his eye. He didn't look like an adult! He was the right height for a child his age, and his face was too. Heck, he was taller than she was! What was she talking about?

"I don't look like an adult." He stated in frustration.

"You act like one though." The young girl Uchiha remarked.

"I do not act like an adult."

"You do too act like an adult."

"I do not."

"You do too."

"I do not."

"You do too!"

By now Itachi was glaring at her. Asa seemed to not notice. She was smiling, her eyes bright and wild. She started laughing when he didn't reply. Why was she laughing at him?

He turned, his cheeks lightly flushed. She was too much for him to take.

"Leave me alone."

"Aw, but we're having fun!" she remarked.

He flipped his head back. "You annoy me. I don't like you. Please go away."

At first he thought she would actually go. Her face looked hurt and she just stared at him. Then finally her expression changed. She smiled again.

"Ha, that's a good joke!" she laughed. Itachi jumped slightly when she wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled him to her. He struggled from her grasp. Surprisingly, he couldn't get out.

"We're just becoming best friends! I know you like me!" she continued.

"Let go of me!" he hissed back. He eventually succeeded in escaping. As soon as he did he stood up. He glared down at her, angry for her actions. She stared at him as if clueless. The young Itachi didn't say anything to her when he walked to the other side of the room to an empty seat. He didn't bother to look back. Now she had to understand.

"So when do you want to hang out?"

Itachi widened his eyes and jumped back a bit in his seat. Asa was suddenly right in front of him! She was smiling like always, a light blush on her pale skin. He narrowed his thin eyebrows at her and finally sighed. She was not going to leave him alone.

"I don't know."

"Why don't you come to my house tonight? You can have supper with me!" she asked excitedly.

"I have to ask my parents first." He stated. Then he realized that he could lie. "I don't think tonight is the best night."

She looked sad. "What about tomorrow?"

"I'm busy tomorrow too." He stated again, turning his head. He didn't want to spend a day and night with her!

"And the next day?" she pressed.

"I'm busy."

"And the next?"

"Busy."

"Itachi, are you just trying to be mean?" she finally asked.

He crossed his arms over his chest. "I don't want to be friends with you, Asa. I'm sorry you don't understand that."

"But Itachi…" she trailed off. He waited for her to finish her sentence. She didn't say anything. He turned back, curious to know why she was finally silent.

She had her head lowered slightly. Her eyes mimicked that of a puppy, big and begging for attention. It looked like she would cry soon. Asa's lips were pouting.

One thing was for sure. She was the Goddess of the puppy look.

Itachi tried to resist. Not only was she incredibly cute right now, but what would happen if he said no? Would she really start crying? Then he would get in trouble! And if his father found out he got into trouble on the first day…

"Fine, I'll try to come over tomorrow!" he gave up. He turned away again, frustrated. She was the most troublesome person she had ever met. She was worse than his two-year-old brother, Sasuke.

"Really? That's great!" she exclaimed as if it had been his decision entirely, and he had not been 'forced'. She immediately jumped over the desk and sat beside him. He heard her whack her knee against the wood of the table and her mutter an "ow".

"We're going to be the best of friends Itachi!" she said hugging him.

He inwardly groaned. "Please get off of me, Asa."

That's all I got for now. This probably won't be too long, but I can't say how many chapters it will be. I'd say 10 at least. See ya all later!
