Chapter 14: I Know More Than You Think

Kagome awoke her body sore and dried sweat present. She could feel the naked form of Kakashi pressed to her naked back. She blushed at the thought of last night's activities. It explained the soreness of her body. She sat up and felt Kakashi curl around her, his wild silver hair flopping to the side. She smiled at the sight of him, laying a kiss on his cheek before standing. She wrapped her robe around her and secured it closed before grabbing clothes for the day. She would shower, see to the butcher's wife, and then head in for her shift at the hospital. Of course she had to wake Keichi for school.

She dressed, woke her son, and dropped off her robe in her room, to see Kakashi awake, him pulling on his pants. She took a look at his ass. It was toned and hairless, pale in the morning light. She gave it a small smack and grinned. "I'm heading to work." She kissed his lips as he zipped up his pants and secured the button. "I'll see you when I get off." She pulled on her sandals and left as Keichi grabbed a piece of fruit from the table before running off to class.

She took a look at the butcher's wife, stating the injury was healing nicely, and it should only be a few more days before she was back on her feet. She left and finished her trek to the hospital. She looked through the files that were there for her, seeing it was a short list today. She saw to her patients flawlessly. She was in a good mood and was just about glowing. Many noticed the difference but said nothing about it. She was so alive for the first time in years.

Scene Change – Training Fields

Kakashi was in a good mood as he showed up to practice, ignoring Sakura's yelling. Sasuke and Naruto smirked, knowing why he was late this time and in a good mood. It was about time that him and Kagome had sex. Maybe practice would be easier today?

Scene Change – Higurashi District

Fugaku was walking through the Higurashi district, heading towards the house of Kagome's family. He knew he had some explaining to do, but they would be the best people to try and convince Kagome to remarry Itachi. He couldn't have his grandson running around without a father figure. And he would be damned if the clan went without an heir.

He knocked on the door and waited, Kagome's mother answering the door. She scowled at him, but let him in anyways. She didn't offer him tea. It was his fault that her daughter was disowned after all, making it impossible for her to see her grandson. Her husband walked in as well, his ANBU uniform in place, mask in hand. He had just arrived home from a mission.

"What do you want?" He asked as he set his mask down. His wife handed him a glass of water, in which to drink.

"I have come to apologize for my son's actions against your daughter." He scowled, not wanting to suck up his pride. "The child she carried was in fact Itachi's. My wife informed me he had forced himself on Kagome one night after he had been drinking. His behavior has dishonored my clan. I was a fool to jump to conclusions in regards to her fidelity, when my son cheated on her through their whole marriage."

"That still does not mean she can come back to my clan," Kagome's father said. "Because of you and your son, she was disgraced and disowned. Because of you and your son I cannot even see my grandson."

"I was hoping you would convince her to remarry my son."

"So he could neglect her all over again?" Kagome's mother asked. "She shouldn't have married him in the first place." She was clearly upset.

"Keichi is my grandson as well, and the next heir to the Uchiha clan."

"That is if Kagome was to remarry your son," her father said. "She does not belong to this clan, therefore it is no longer up to us whom she marries. You are not wanted here, so leave." He stood from his seat and headed towards the back. He could use some rest.

"You cost me my daughter. I hope the kami find a fitting punishment for you and your son's action against my daughter." She left him alone as well. It was a clear dismissal.

He scowled as he left the Higurashi district. Nothing was working out for him. Kagome refused to remarry Itachi, her parents refused to convince her to remarry Itachi, and he knew Mikoto would do nothing to help the situation, saying it was his fault in the first place for not listening to her. He could see no way in this working for him, unless he got the Uchiha elders involved, but even they might not be of any help to him. They were not a fan of Kagome, and he could hear them saying something along the lines of having to claim all the other illegitimate children of Itachi, which would put a strain on the clan. He rubbed his temples, a headache forming.

He made it to his home and retired to his study, deciding not to go into work today. He needed the time to think of a way to get to Keichi. He was desperate to get his hands on the prodigy. He was sure that the boy knew more than was told. And he was sure he had activated the Sharingan before the incident in the village, but he was unsure when the boy had truly unlocked the Sharingan.

Scene Change – Konoha Academy

Keichi sat in class bored out of his mind. He knew this all already. He just wanted to go and train instead of sit here bored all day.

"Keichi, pay attention," his teacher snapped, a kunai being thrown towards him. Keichi deflected it, the kunai being forced into the ceiling.

"I already know this," he mocked. "Teach me something I don't know." The girls giggled as they looked at him. He scowled and turned away from them. They were so annoying. "My mother has been teaching me this since I was four."

"Your mother could not have taught you all of this," Iruka commented.

"I know more than you think." He turned away.

Iruka grumbled. The boy was being difficult, but he should have expected as much, with who his father was. Keichi had outstanding marks in everything. He was easily top of the class and excelled in everything. But the boy had no friends and ignored a lot of the females, very much like Itachi and Sasuke had. He sighed as he looked at the boy. He knew all the rumors around Kagome and Keichi, not believing it was in Kagome to cheat on Itachi. There was even word going around that Keichi was in fact the son of Itachi. Keichi would naturally know a lot of what the others had a hard time grasping.

"Class dismissed." He watched them file out, many of the girls looking at Keichi and giggling, cheeks stained with a blush. He knew Keichi was not interested in them and did not wish for their attention. He knew Keichi would not turn out like Itachi. If he pulled half of what Itachi had, Kagome would probably smack him upside the head and lecture him.

He watched Keichi outside the window as he pushed a girl off of him. She was clinging to his arm, and saying something he could not hear, only for Keichi to push her off again. He tried walking off, but she jumped onto his back. He watched as Keichi threw her off and then ran off, dodging the grabbing hands of the other girls. Where girls really that clingy?

Scene Change – Inside Town – With Keichi

He continued running, trying to lose the girls. He saw one of the stands his mother often visited, and the man ushered him beneath a tarp. He jumped at the opportunity. He heard them run past and sighed quietly. He came out from under it and looked to the man.

"I owe you one for that."

"They seem to be a handful." The elderly man laughed. "Think nothing of it, but you should hurry home before they get back." Keichi nodded and ran off. He took the short cut home, leaping from one roof to another. He landed on the windowsill and slipped inside, closing the window behind him. He sighed in relief and flopped down on his bed. He rolled over before getting up and pulling off his sandals. He was not risking going out there again.

He pulled out on of the scrolls on his shelf and looked through it. It was something his mother recently bought for him, and contained many types of medical jutsu. He knew the importance to medical jutsu, so he didn't complain, instead taking it all in. His mother knew advanced medical jutsu, which he hoped she would teach him someday. She was reluctant to do so, saying some of what she knew would destroy what innocence he had left. He wanted to know, especially if it would help him save his mother's life.

Author's Note: Here is the next chapter. It took a while and I seriously had no clue as to what to write. But read, review and ENJOY!
