My Babysitter is an Uchiha

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

A/N: I want to give thanks to those who reviewed on the last chapter or added it to favorites. Thank you. Here's chapter 2.


Thirteen year-old Itachi always wondered what went through an eight year-olds head. For instance, when his baby brother-Sasuke- tries to throw away his vegetables and their Kaa-san always catches him he doesn't give up. Instead he keeps doing it and each time their Kaa-san punishes him for it. Doesn't he know to give up already?

He had to admit though watching Sasuke live his childhood relaxed him. Hearing him scream, laugh, and play with other children made him happy. It was something he never had as a child.

As he was walking toward the Uchiha compound he felt someone behind him. "May I help you?" he asked.

"Hokage-sama wishes for you, immediately." informed an Anbu operative.

"Thank you I'll be there shortly." replied Itachi.

He quickly did some hand signs for a transportation jutsu and reappeared in the Hokage's office. "You ask of my service?" he whispered politely while bowing down.

"Itachi, I was wondering if you would like to earn a little non-mission money?" started the Hokage.

"Please explain?" Itachi asked, wondering what the Hokage would want him to do that wasn't considered a mission.

"You see Itachi," started the Hokage, "I've got a couple who are leaving on a trip and must leave behind their daughter. They told the girl if she would like to stay with a family member but she refused and she feels like her previous babysitters are 'useless' as she putted it. Therefore her mother thought it would be better if her daughter chose her own babysitter," the Hokage concluded.

"How am I included in the picture Hokage-sama?" Itachi asked, still confused as to what he had to do with it.

"The girl chose you as her babysitter." The Hokage informed.

"With all due respect sir, you want me to babysit a girl near my age? I don't think that's going to work. She won't take me seriously," Itachi pointed out.

"Around your age? Did I make her sound that old?" the Hokage chuckled.

Itachi merely stood straight silently wondering what the his superior meant.

"Itachi, that girl is the same age as your brother. She's eight years-old," the Hokage clarified. He allowed a pause before adding, "Do you accept her request?"

Itachi didn't know what to say, he mulled over the information he was given and one particular part struck him filling him with something that could only be described as curiosity.

"Hokage-sama you said she thought her previous...babysitter's were 'useless'. May you please elaborate on that?"

The Hokage puffed on his pipe before talking, "yes, I did indeed say that. She had told her mother that her previous babysitters weren't good enough to take care of her for an extended period of time."

Itachi slowly nodded before asking, "what's the family's name?"

"It's Haruno," the Hokage replied.

"I've never heard of them," Itachi said.

"They're civilians. Nice people, they own a café in the market district. Sakura-chan won't cause a lot of problems either, she's a nice, curious, little girl with good grades in the civilian school."

Itachi nodded once again. "Is there a specific reason as to why she chose me?"

"No, not at all. She merely saw your picture and exclaimed she wanted you as her sitter," the Hokage paused before continuing. "I would feel special Itachi, she went through a whole book of civilians and none of them caught her attention," he remarked watching the Uchiha heir closely.

With this new information Itachi's curiosity increased. Finally he decided to accept, though he hadn't met the girl yet he could tell she was smart for her age. "Before I make my final decision how long will I take care of her?"

"I believe the whole thing will be about a month," the Hokage said.

And there was the small problem. Itachi doubted his father would allow him to take care of a civilian in exchange for not taking missions.

The Hokage sensing Itachi's thoughts reassured him he would take care of his clan.

"If so then I accept her request," Itachi said.

"Good, I'll inform her family. I believe she's with an aunt right now so you won't get to meet her today. However, here's the family's address so you can meet with her parents now to discuss anything you want to know." The Hokage said.

"Hai Hokage-sama."

"Good you're dismissed."

With that Itachi left. As he walked he wondered what she looked like, how tall she was, and her personality. Or if she was a troublemaker. He didn't think so as the Hokage said she was nice.

Soon, he was in front of a big baby blue house. Four steps led to the door. The house looked like it had four rooms, a big kitchen, and a big living room. Taking a deep breath he walked up the stairs and knocked on the door.
