Edited this chapter too...I really want to jump into the plot of this story but I don't want to jump so far ahead in time I figured small time jumps to kinda build the relationships between characters sorry if it is dragging please let me know what you think. With that being said...
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto because if I did Itachi and Shisui would not be dead they would be tied to my bed lol
Chapter 2
A few years later, on route to the Uchiha compound, a very exhausted Tsunade and her three year old daughter walked hand in hand.
"Okaa-san, Is Mikoto-okaa-san going to take Itachi-san, Shisui-kun, and I to the shinobi playground today?" Jami questioned her mother obviously trying to hid what's she really wanted to ask.
'They are growing up way to fast, this war has matured these children far beyond the norm of regular shinobi.' She thought to herself as she responded
"I am not sure, why do you ask?"
"I was wondering if Itachi-san would practice shuriken throwing with me today, he is the best you know, but don't tell him I said that, I will surpass him he is my rival." Jami responded with determined eyes. "I also want to see Hana-chan."
"Inuzuka Hana?"
"Yes she is my best friend. Okaa..." she paused "are you and Jiraiya-otou-san gonna leave again" she said with tears forming in the corners of her midnight blue eyes.
'Ah there it is' "Yes, Jami-chan your Keifu( stepfather) and I will be leaving for sometime, you will be staying with Mikoto-chan at the compound why we are gone." She reluctantly answered. "Hana's parents Inuzuka-san and Tsume-chan and Itachi father Uchiha-san, and Shisui father Kagami-san are all going with us, even Sarutobi-sensi will be there so don't you worry."
"I am not worried Okaa" she state with a strong confident voice and then "It's just am going to miss you and Otousan" Tsunade raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow.
"I will miss you too Jami-chan, but look at the brighter side you will get to spend time trying to surpass Itachi." Tsunade chuckled knowingly
"It not funny Okaa, I will surpass him, he thinks he is better than everybody but I will show him." Jami snorted 'stupid arrogant Uchiha' she thought
Rolling her eyes, Tsunade said "It won't be long this war is almost over and then I can began your training again, along with your cousin Shizune."
"If Shizune staying can't I just stay with her rather than Itachi-san? She can train me while you gone." The three year old asked
"No most of the chūini teams like team Minato with Uchiha Obito , Nohara Rin and Hatake Kakashi, team Shikaku with your cousin Shizune, Shiranui Genma, Maito Guy, and team Inoichi with Morino Ibiki, Namiashi Raidō, and Yūhi Kurenai are all going but most of the genin teams are staying here in case something happens." She explained to her overly aware daughter.
"Ok so Anko-chan, and Iruka-san will be here, Iruka is a great teacher maybe he can help me." She said to no one in particular.
"Are you worried about falling behind" she inquired as they walked into the Uchiha compound.
"No, Okaasan I just want to keep learning so when you get back I won't disappoint you."
"You could never do that."
"I love you, Okaa"
" and I love you, mūn"(moon)
The pair walked up the stairs at the main house in the compound and knocked.
XxXxX
"Ohayo, Jami-chan, Tsunade, how are you doing this fine morning?" Questioned the raven eyed beauty
"Can you keep and eye on Jami-chan today why we prepare for departure, I know it is asking a lot..."
"Nonsense I love having her around it is no trouble at all, it like I have a daughter." She giggled knowingly
Once Jami-chan went out back, looking for Itachi, Tsunade responded "well technical she will be, have you seen the rivalry going on between them?"
"Yes, they are so made for each other, Itachi keeps saying her strength is supernatural and her speed is like she is already using the flying thunder god jutsu raising an elegantly plucked eyebrow she continued "Have you taught her your ōoji's technique already."
"Yes, I have but she has not been able to complete the jutsu yet her chakra cords are not full developed, once they are she will be a force thought." Tsunade responded.
"Ya, and Itachi will have for the better term 'a cow' " she used her figures to emphasis a cow to her friend both women busted up laughing as Fugaku walked in.
"Hn"
"Ohayo Uchiha-san are you almost prepared for departure tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, I see your daughter is here may I observe her train with my son" he inquired
"Of course please remember she is only three and has not mastered her chakra control yet." She responded as he was heading to the training ground out back.
"Always the haughty man, how do you do it Mikoto?" Tsunade pried
"He is not always like that, only when other people are around, he on the other hand is very passionate with me." She covered her mouth as she giggled with a pink hue tinting her cheeks.
"I don't want to know, hehehe I already have a perverted husband to fill my head with all that I don't need a perverted best friend too." She bantered her friend " I better get going said husband might send out the toads."
Walking towards the door she threw her hand over her shoulder
"Ja ne"
XxXxX
"Ohayo Itachi-san, can I practice weapons training with you today? I still need to work on my technique, I have not mastered it yet." She stated coolly
"Hn" the stoic four year old grunted, which meant in Uchiha I could care less what you do, but in reality he really did want to she what she's got, he just did not show it. Just then he sensed his father walk out onto the porch.
He was not going to let her beat him, he was an Uchiha and Uchiha's did not let anyone beat them even if she was a Senju, this had been driven into him since birth by his father and the clan elders. He was not going to fail, and defiantly not in front of his father.
So he leaned against the nearby tree and watched as she hit nine out of ten of the targets. He snorted "not good enough" as he hit all ten targets while still staring at her. He walked back to the tree and watched again as she almost hit the tenth target in the center. He smirked.
About her fourth attempt she had hit all ten targets perfectly. She turned to him and smiled brightly. His heart skipped a beat 'what was that' he thought.
"JAMI-CHAN" Shisui yelled running into the backyard and grabbing the girl into a bear hug. Causing Itachi to twitch but no one noticed to his relief.
"Shis-kun how have you been I have missed you" she said sweetly. Another pang to Itachi chest. Almost possessively he thought 'why is he touching her and why is she talking to him so causally.' He did not like having his cousin touch her or the way she spoke to him, it was to personal.
'Why did he feel this way, she is his rival maybe if Shisui takes her away I won't have someone to compete with, yah that's it that's why I feel this way' he reasoned
"Shis-kun I hit all ten targets" she beamed very proud of her self
"Very good Watashi no mūn" the six year old boy said as he reached up and ran his thumb down the curve of her jawline. (my moon)
That did it, Itachi went ridged "Shisui lets spar."
At the same time Itachi was brooding, Fugaku observed 'she is a very strong kunoichi for her age, Itachi seems to not like Shisui touching her, it seems we made a good choice here, but I would rather Itachi chooses his own bride. I need to go see the council when this war is over about possibly postponing the marriage till they are older 15 is just to young.' with that he disappeared with a cloud of smoke.
XxXxX
"Lunch" Mikoto informed the children causing a stamped into the kitchen.
Laughing brightly The Uchiha matriarch spoke "it like we never feed you... Shisui-chan are you alright"
"Yes Mikoto-oba-san I am fine, my little cousin was teaching me a lesson." Shisui said with a little humor to his voice.
"Oh, and what was that" she asked in a singsong voice.
"Not to touch what is his." He laughed, while Itachi glared at him
"Hn"
"Shis-kun what do you mean? Itachi and you were just sparing, next time will you spar with me?" Her eyes sparking with passion.
"Of course Watashi no mūn" he said and smirked at Itachi
'Oh now I see, Itachi has another rival, this time a rival in love' Mikoto smiled brightly 'this I believe my son will win' the proud mother declared.
"After lunch will go to the shinobi playground" Mikoto said feeling a little queasy all the sudden. 'What in the world was that' as another wave of nausea hit her.
"Do you think Shis-kun can come with Mikoto-oka-san? I want to play ninja hide-n-seek with him." Jami asked jumping up and down and clapping her hands.
Shisui smirked again 'that smirk is going to get him in good with the ladies' Mikoto realized. While Itachi's blood boiled.
"Sure he can but I am going to need to stop by and see your mother before we head there Jami-chan" as yet another wave of nausea hit her so hard she had to make swiftly run to the rest room to relieve herself of her breakfast.
"Okaasan, are you ok?" Itachi asked why rubbing his mothers back.
"Yes Ita-kun do not worry yourself I am fine." She spoke quietly as she wondered with a smile 'can I be pregnant oh how Fugaku would be over joyed' she stood up and motioned for them to head out.
XxXxX
"Mikoto, what brings you by" question Konoha's greatest medical-nin "where are the kids?"
"Shizune has them, can you check if I am pregnant?" The raven haired woman asked
"Of course lie back this will only take a few seconds, Do you know when you last cycle was?" Going into medic mode
"To be perfectly honest I never know when it going to be it depends how hard I work my body that month if I get one or not" she spoke freely
Tsunade hand lite green and she placed it on Mikoto's taut stomach, instantly tiny strands of chakra entered her body and searched around till it found what it was looking for.
Tsunade smiled "well it looks like Fugaku is getting another heir, your roughly 13 weeks. I can't be 100% sure because you not that far along but I would say it another boy. Man what a wonderful day I got to tell two people I care about there pregnant."
"Fugaku is going to be ecstatic I can't wait to tell him tonight" suddenly the air changed "promise me you will keep him safe Tsunade." Mikoto looked at her friend seriously
"I am sure he will not need my help but I promise"
"Wait did you say another one of our friends is pregnant?"
"Yah, but she is not happy to have to stay home while Minato goes to war..."
"Kushina is pregnant how far along is she"
"Not as far as you she is about 4 weeks, you due around the end of July while Kushina is due around the beginning of October." Tsunade informed her.
"Well I better get the kids to the playground before Shisui and Itachi kill themselves over the affection of your daughter." She laughted as Tsunade's eyes lite up.
"Ja ne Tsunade-san "
XxXxX
"Hana-chan, how have you been? Do you want to play ninja hide-n-seek with us" motioning her hand to the kids behind her which included Shisui, Iruka, Anko, Izumo, Kotetsu, and while Itachi stood backed and watched.
"Well we will need one more person if Itachi is not playing to make even teams" Hana enlightened them
"I don't think he will play, who else is there" Jami said a little sad that he wasn't playing
"He'll play" as Shisui slide his hand on to Jami's lower back almost instantaneously Itachi walked over
"We should divid into teams" the stoic boy almost whispered
Jami smiled brightly "I will be on..."
"My team" Itachi ordered as everyone looked at him "I still need to teach you proper shuriken throwing techniques."
"But Itachi-kun that has nothing to do with the game." She said shyly with a blush on her cheeks
His heart soared 'She said kun and she blushed for me'
"Yah little cousin I thought you wanted to beat her not have her join you" Shisui laughed. While the rest of the kids snickered.
"How ever it is, what I want now, is her on my team, and that is that" speaking one of the longest sentences he has ever spoken in his short life.
"Ok no need to get pissy little cousin Anko, Iruka, and Hana on my team Jami, Izumi, and Kotetsu on yours." Shisui organized. "Your team goes and hides first"
The two teams ran off in different directions, Jami hid her chakra the best she knew how and crawled into a hole in a large tree trunk and waited.
It was about fifteen minutes later when Itachi located where she was, he was impressed that it took him that long to locate her, she hid her chakra well, but something made her chakra flare for a second. That was the reason he was slightly making his way to her, when he seen his cousin had found her first and had her pinned to a tree whispering something to her. He added chakra to his ears and listened in.
"Since I found you first, I will let you go and hid again for a price Watashi no mūn" he said
"W-what is ttthat Shisui-kun" she stuttered make Itachi very angry what was his cousin doing.
"Just one little kiss" he sounded to old for his age. Itachi's eyes lite red for the first time, as Shisui started to lean in when all of the sudden he was slammed into a tree about 20 feet away "Damn cousin I knew you were there" he yelled and looked back over where Jami once was 'where did he take her'
XxXxX
Itachi looked down at the beautiful moonlit girl that was being held bridal style in his arms she passed out right before Shisui could kiss her 'what was he thinking, I thought I made it perfectly clear she belongs to me, what has she done to me' he pondered.
Beautiful midnight blue eyes looked up at him in wonder "Ita-kun what happened?" His eyes softened for a second, just a second and Jami wasn't sure if she was still suffering from the unconsciousness.
'Great I just passed out in front of Itachi, what does he think of me know.' She scolded herself
"You passed out after you were caught by my cousin" he said cousin coldly and it sent a shiver down her spine.
Her eyes widened when memory hit her and she blushed, "oh my...di-did you get to me before he could ki-ki-kiss me." She stuttered embarrassedly
"Why did you want it?" He smirked
"Wha...No of course not"
"Good" and his grip tightened around her, she turned her head into his chest and breath in his scent, 'thank goodness he could not see her face for it had to be as red as a tomato' she thought.
What she didn't know was Itachi's thoughts where on the same line as hers, while he looked away from her tring to cool his face down. ' I am going to have to tell father about my eyes soon' he brought himself to look at the now sleeping girl in his arms 'I will protect you with my life Watashi no mūnraito' (my moonlight)
