CHAPTER 7
Later that afternoon Itachi walked silently to his Uchiha home, he had been running most of the way home because he had realised how late it was.
He silently slipped off his shoes with his unbandage arm and tip-toed inside, making sure he didn't slam the door.
The reason why he crept along so silently was because he knew his father would be working stressfully in his study, he learnt now not to bang things around like in the previous years. Itachi huffed at the thought of being scolded over and over by his father.
As he passed by the study Itachi relaxed visibly and walked casually into the kitchen.
"Ah! Just who I was lookin' for" Shisui said cracking a cheerful smile as Itachi entered the room. His eyes followed to Itachi's arm and his smile faded slightly.
"What happened there?" Shisui asked, nodding to Itachi's arm.
Itachi's mother turned around from the sink and interrupted before Itachi could reply, "Oh! Itachi, thank god you're safe" she spoke with relief before placing her hands on her hips, "now. Where were you mister?" she scolded.
"I stayed back at school Kaa-san" Itachi sighed, he hated being scolded, "I'm sorry, I didn't realise what the time was"
"Ok" she replied, forgiving him "just don't worry me like that next time. I was going to have to send your father out looking if you didn't come back any sooner."
"And you know how he is when he's busy with his work" his mother reminded him.
Always about work Itachi grumbled in his thoughts as he went to take a seat.
"Na-uh little boy. Your coming with me" Shisui grabbed Itachi's left arm and strolled out the kitchen before he could protest.
"What do you want?" Itachi grumbled as he unwillingly followed his cousin, Shisui didn't reply and took him outside where they both seated on the front porch.
His intense and calculating gaze was set upon Itachi instantly,
"Who did that to you?"
"It's noth-"Itachi tried to pass it by but was stopped by his cousin who grunted at him.
"Don't cover up. I want to know, that's what a big cousin is for you know"
Sighing, Itachi was conquered by Shisui's obviously practiced speech, "It was Resu thats all"
Not even that seemed to convince Shisui so Itachi continued more thoroughly
"...And his friends. They pinned me down and beated me until I broke free, punching three in the face" at this Itachi's lips created a small smirk, "and then that's how my arm then got hurt"
"Which coward had the weapon?" Shisui asked although he knew it was obviously Hyuuga Resu.
"Resu" Itachi grumbled before looking at his cousin seriously, "don't tell his father....i don't want anyone else getting into the mess between me and him"
"But it sounds as if it's getting more dangerous than it should be Itachi," Shisui warned, "if it gets any damn worser than you injuring your arm to you landing in hospital half-dead than I most certainly will join in!"
"....fine" Itachi agreed after a moments silence and Shisui looked at him strangely, "huh?"
"If it gets any worse like you said than fine" Itachi explained, "but for now it hasn't, and I'm dealing with it on my own"
He's actually being civil? Shisui thought with shock, lately Kagome has really shown some effect on him.....he's finally opening up more
After several minutes Itachi proceeded inside but stopped at Shisui's voice.
"Ever since you and Kagome got along, you've become more open Itachi" Shisui smiled slightly as he looked at the stars, "I'm glad you finally found someone to be friends with. She's one of the nicest girls you'll ever know" he saw a shooting star cross the sky and quickly closed his eyes, making a wish.
His words however, swirled inside Itachi's head for the rest of the night. Itachi had always been determined to succeed in what he did best and that was the ninja arts....but since Kagome came he had changed from being ignorant and stony to becoming more understanding and friendly....at least to Kagome and his family. just that change too had affected his schooling, he began to care less about his goal he had created when he started the academy.
The next morning Itachi seated himself down and started eating his breakfast, it was then that his mother placed her attention on him,
"Itachi, how about you bring your friend Kagome around for dinner tonight?" she asked kindly, Itachi quickly gulped his food down while trying not to cough his food out in surprise, "w-what Kaa-san?" he asked making sure he didn't hear wrong.
"Bring your friend and perhaps her family to dinner tonight, after all I hear I wish to meet her myself" his father's voice answered from behind. Itachi slowly stirred in his seat to look at his father.
Itachi could tell that his father wanted to calculate Kagome and her family, making sure they were good enough to be around Uchiha's like him, he inwardly promised himself to not grow up like that.
"Yes oto-san" Itachi replied, knowing better than to argue with his father, he looked at the time and realised he was going to be late to the academy and quickly finished his breakfast before leaving.
Itachi's day had been rather eventful than usual, they moved on from target training to disguising each other in the wilderness and concealing their chakra. He had learnt this quickly however, despite his age difference, and smirked at Resu whom had failed at this task miserably.
"It doesn't worry for those who didn't succeed, this technique takes some time to learn" the sensei reassured the children but was inwardly amazed that Itachi handled this task easily.
That however made Resu's anger brew stronger, he hated to see someone like Itachi become so popular and so much stronger than him.
The rest of the day was a lot easier and normal to Itachi, and soon it was almost 4 30, the time he arranged to meet Kagome....then he thought glumly, time to introduce Kagome to his father.
I hope its a good building up chappy! - I wish everybody a happy new year!
