Engagement

Pairing: MaleKagome/FemItachi

Dedicated to: Whispering Kage

"No." Itachi had just told the head of the Uchiha's, her father, no to an engagement. She was already sixteen. Although she often acted a guy, she was still a girl meaning she couldn't be heiress because of her younger brother Sasuke.

"You'll do as you're told Itachi." The two stared at each other. Not only did he want her to marry, but to someone outside of the Uchiha clan.

A knock on the door was heard.

"That'll be him. Go answer Itachi."

Itachi reluctantly did so. Her father's word was law in the clan.

Itachi opened the door to see a handsome man with black hair and a pale complexion. He looked around her age. She almost swore he was an Uchiha until his eyes opened. They were a calm blue.

His calm blue eyes soften at the sight of Itachi. A gentle smile made its way onto his face. It made her feel warm and tingly inside.

He stated, "My name is Higurashi Kagome. You must be Itachi. You are much more beautiful in person. I've only ever seen you in photos your dad sent."

Itachi resisted the urge to blush. Uchiha's did not blush.

Kagome caressed her cheek. A small blush tinted her cheeks. On second thought, she wouldn't be an Uchiha much longer.

Maybe the engagement was a good thing.
