Because the chapters are from throughout different points in their lives, I'll try to leave little hints and clues as to where they are and how old they are and what not.
If you'd like better clarification, please feel free to PM me or review, and I'll try to make it clearer.
Also, if you just are enjoying the story itself so far, let me know! While I am mostly posting this because this is something I need to put out, I would like to know if my readers are enjoying this or not and what they're thinking thus far.
Anyway, here we are, chapter 10!
Two people sat by the lake with each other. The girl's back against the boy's as she dug her toes into the sand, giggling to herself.
"Itachi? How come you live so far away?" she peered at him from over her shoulder. Since he was 7 years older than her, the twelve year old was never completely sure of how he would answer, if the silent teenager would even answer.
Not that he needed to sometimes. She swore she could read his mind.
"Konoha is not that far away. Besides, in a few more years you'll be there as well, do you not remember?"
She puffed her cheeks in annoyance. "Of course I remember Itachi-san! But… you're so far away NOW. I don't like not seeing you every day."
He turned around and poked her forehead.
"Patience is a virtue Higurashi-chan."
She puffed her cheeks out even more, "Don't treat me the same as your brother! And you're not patient either! You just hide it better cause you're the Uchiha heir!"
He gave her a half smile before ruffling her hair, much to her annoyance.
"Hn."
