Itachi and Sasuke

Series: Naruto

A tired sigh escaped pink plump lips, tired blue eyes looked out over the courtyard of the Uchiha compound. As usual there was no sound of laughter or children playing. Only training.

Uchiha's didn't have time for that kind of stuff, only training.

They had to be the best.

She herself had married into the family, an arranged marriage, and had tried her best to adjust.

Her clan had been so loving and caring, traits that were looked down on in her new family.

Emotions were a weakness.

With a small frown she pushed black raven locks behind her ear, her gaze on her husband as he pushed their eldest to train harder.

Fugaku, while he was a stern man he had his good qualities…a soft side shown only to her in the privacy of their bed room.

Yet as he pushed their even year old son harder, sweat dripping down his small childish face, she felt her ire rise up.

She was anything but a cold mother, unlike the rest of the females of the family she loved and cared for her children. Sasuke was asleep next to her, having been lulled to sleep by her fingers playing with his raven hair.

"Itachi, its time for your bath." Her voice was low yet she knew he heard it. She ignored her husband's annoyed glare and smiled as her son turned towards her and nodded.

"Yes, mother." He was such a polite young child, the apple of her eye. She smiled as he put away his kunai and approached her; she ruffled his black locks before placing a kiss on his forehead, making him blush lightly.

"Go get ready; Sasuke and I will join you in a few moments. You know how he hates to be woken up from a nap." They shared a small smile. Sasuke hated being woken up from his naps. With a silent and respectful nod towards his father he made his way down the hallway.

Fugaku frowned as he climbed the stairs to stand next to his wife, looking down at her. She was a true sight to behold only twenty seven and still she looked as youthful as the day he had married her. Long silky raven hair, pale skin, and beautiful blue eyes.

It made him proud to see her wrapped in his clans traditional kimono, the Uchiha crest on the back of her silk kimono telling the world who she belonged to.

She was his, his wife and the mother of his children.

"You spoil them to much." A hint of mirth was in his voice as he helped her up, steadying her as she cradled a still sleeping Sasuke in her arms. The boy took after his mother more then him. Both of them loved their sleep and hated being woken up.

Kagome rolled her eyes entwining her fingers with her husbands, she knew full well his stance on child raising, and he knew hers.

"Oh hush dear, a little affection never hurt anyone." She gave him a knowing smile and he merely grumbled under his breath as he let her lead him towards the main house. She had proven that fact, since marrying her she had opened his eyes to the world.

He was still an Uchiha at heart but he understood her ways, and honestly children did react better to encouragement and praise then harsh words and cold stares. He would never admit it but it was nice to see his sons light up when they saw him, so different then how he had reacted to his own father as a child.

He had been raised the Uchiha way, cold and indifferent, he had grown to hate his father. Pushing himself to be better then him just so he could put him in him place. His was a childhood of hate and hurt, their sons would not be raised that way.

"Dear, stop scowling you're going to get wrinkles." He blinked gazing down at his wife and let out a small huff. Her happy go lucky smile making his lips twitch a bit.

"Of course dear, I won't be joining you for your bath, I have something to take care of." She frowned lightly yet nodded, as the head of the Uchiha clan he was always busy. She understood, so long as he made some time for family she was happy.

"Of course, I'll see you at dinner." She paused and leaned on her tippy toes to place a kiss on his lips, while he hated PDA he always gave into her. With a sigh he lowered his head and swooped in.

Only to meet the fist of his youngest son.

"No! Only I can kiss mama!" As if to prove his statement Sasuke placed a kiss on his mother's lips making her laugh as she hugged him closer.

"Oh my sweet boy, you woke up just in time! Itachi is already waiting in the bath house." Sasuke grinned as he hugged his mama tighter, shooting a glare at his father as they made their way towards the bath house.

Fugaku grit his teeth as his youngest stuck his tongue out at him behind his mothers back, brat.

He was such a mama's boy, at least Itachi had grown out of that stage, he only hoped Sauske wouldn't take after his brother and try to kill him in his sleep. He was too old for this kind of stuff.
