AN: I changed some things.

Ch.4

Early the next morning, Itachi woke up and roamed the house. Unlike the house he grew up in, this house was more modern. All the doors had hinges and some had locks; none of them slid like the traditional ones at his home did. He kind of liked it. The kitchen barely had any food in it.

"How does she stay nurished with this amount of food," He asked himself. He made breakfast with what she had, but decided if he and his brother were going to stay here for any amount of time they would need more food. After the meal was made he carried a tray of it to Sasuke, but when Sasuke refused to wake to eat he went to check on Takara. He knocked softly on the door.

"Come in Itachi," she called. He opened the door and found her on the floor.

"What are you doing?"

"Keeping an eye out for trespassers."

"You haven't been doing that since we got here, have you?"

"Yes, I have. This is my house and no one is going to hurt those inside it."

"Kara-chan," he said while shaking his head.

"What?"

"You need to rest too. The Anbu have the house surrounded. No one could get to us."

"You don't know that!"

"Shhh, you'll wake Sasuke."

"Sorry. I... I just don't want to lose the two of you. I can't go through that again." She was in tears so Itachi pulled her to him in a hug.

"Shhh, You won't lose me. Not ever, I promise. You're my best friend espeacially after losing Shisui."

"Itachi?"

"What?"

"You Promise?" She looked up at him while still in his embrace.

"I Promise. Never to leave you or Sasuke. So I made breakfast."

"How? There's no food."

"I made do with what you had."

"Oh. You can cook?"

"Yes."

She was in tears again. "I'm sorry," she said when she had gained control of herself again. "You are the one who should be crying, not me. Your Family died last night."

"It's alright. We cried ourselves to sleep last night. Plus they treated you like a part of the family anyway since your mom and my mom were best friends. So you have as much right to cry as Sasuke and I do."

"You're sweet."

"What? It's the truth." Takara suddenly tensed in his arms. "Takara?"

"Uchiha, Itachi?" Itachi Looked up at the sound of his name. There was an anbu at the window. "The Hokage wishes to see you, Sasuke Uchiha and Takara Namikaze Right Away."

"We are on our way."

"Understood. The House will be guarded so do not worry. An Anbu will escort you three as well."

"Thank you."

Itachi pulled Takara up and into the other room. He let her go and picked up his still sleeping brother. The three of them headed for the Hokage Tower, escorted by an Anbu. They walked inside and knocked on the Hokage's office door.

"Come in." They entered. "Sasuke asleep?"

"Yes, sir. What is going to happen now," Itachi asked.

"I do not know. We have no idea who killed your clan and we have no evidence."

"They are not going to blame Takara, are they?"

"No. There is no evidence against her and you have vouched for her. The three of you should get some rest. Especially you, Takara. Go back to Takara's house and I will make sure you are not disturbed."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." They went back to Takara's house and Itachi placed Sasuke back in bed.
