Itachi saw Madara studying him. "You seem awfully happy today, Itachi," He commented.
"I am happy, Madara-san," Itachi stated, running over to him. "Look!" He pulled out a headband with an engraving on it that looked like a leaf. Madara smiled.
"Top of your class?" The man asked.
"Of course, Madara-san," Itachi replied. Madara smiled again.
"Didn't your mother also have a baby?" He inquired. Itachi nodded happily.
"His name is Sasuke." Madara appeared to be in thought for a few moments, and mumbled something. He then smiled at Itachi.
"Come here and I'll give you a gift for graduating," He said. Itachi stood in front of Madara, looking up at his mentor's face. "Now close your eyes, Itachi-kun." Itachi did as he was told, smiling. He wondered what the gift was going to be. He felt the older Uchiha press his lips against Itachi's. Itachi opened his eyes and stared at Madara.
"Why did you do that, Madara-san?" He asked innocently. Madara smiled.
"Because I love you, Itachi-kun," He replied. "Don't you love me?" The seven year old, surprised, stumbled over his words.
"I… Uhhh… Well, I mean… I…" Madara put his face right in front of Itachi's.
"Do you love me, Itachi-kun?" He asked again. Itachi looked into the dark eyes of his mentor, the eyes which he knew so well, and then looked away. His eyes slowly drifted back to the man's.
"H… Hai, Madara-san," He whispered. "I love you, Madara-san." The older man smiled once again, and then pressed his lips to the boy's for a second time. He nibbled gentlely on the young boy's lips, and then pulled away. Itachi didn't know if he thought that this was right or wrong yet.
Sorry for the shortness of the chapter. The next chapter should make up for it.... . As a warning, it will have Itachi X Madara
