The long haired jounin walked his way home only to be bombarded by tons and tons of water bombs out of nowhere. Good thing he's a genius, he easily dodged it all, preventing himself from getting wet. In a puff of smoke, he disappeared. (come on, he is the Uchiha Itachi!)

The culprit, who was hiding in a nearby tree nervously looked around, wondering where his target could have gone.

"Looking for me?" a voice behind him smirked.

"Oh shi-" before he could even turn around, he was washed out with a pail of water, not only that, because of a wrong turn, he slipped his foot and landed face first from the tree to the ground below. (aww…poor sasuke…hehe evil grin)

Itachi appeared next to the dripping boy, laughing, not caring if said boy was giving him a very deathly glare.

"My little brother, haven't you learned your lesson? These childish pranks of yours won't work on me, you know that."

"I thought I'd have a break from my training and do for some laughs."

"Well, you're right…it gave me laughs of you.." and he laughed some more, "…you better go home before you catch a cold."

"Aren't you going home yet?" the younger Uchiha asked as he try to shake the water off his hair.

"Later, I think I'll be strolling around for a while.

"Yeah, yeah…" Sasuke growled as he left.

Now despite his younger brother's prank on him, he still cares for him. No it's not the yaoi / incest type of care, its more of a brotherly care. That's why he found himself headed towards a particular ramen house that is usually frequented by a certain loud blonde shinobi.

Lucky for our beloved Itachi, that certain "loud blonde shinobi" is currently there in that ramen house he was headed too, together with a certain know-it-all blonde girl.

"Ahh……I'm really stuffed!" naruto grinned, toothpick in mouth.

"Your ramen sure is the best in the world!" praised Aki.

"Why thank you young lady. Its really rare that I'd get compliments from my customers."

"Konnichi wa." A stoic voice said, startling the two blondes. Naruto turned around to see his teammate's older brother just behind him.

"Looks like you had an early dose of ramen today."

"Ah! Itachi! What are you doing here!" the blonde boy explained. The female counterpart just blinked.

"Naze? Is it a crime for someone to go to a ramen house? If so, I believe I haven't read nor heard it yet." The young jounin said matter-of-factly. His eyes strolled around, only to land on the blond female next to Naruto.

"I see you have company."

"Nani?"

"may I know the name of the lady?" Itachi smiled at Aki, causing her to blush.

"Her?" Naruto pointed, "She's my….umm…cousin!"

"Ore wa Aki." Aki bowed politely, "and if I'm not mistaken, you're Uchiha Itachi, ne?"

Itachi smirked. "I guess my name really is famous."

"Lie, naruto just told me about you and your stuck up brother."

"Anyway, what brings you here, huh?" the male blond asked.

"Just dropped by to buy Sasuke some ramen."

"Eh?"

"I think he has obtained colds due to the water thrown to him by yours truly." Itachi smirked some more.

"I always knew Sasuke-baka suck at pranks." Naruto stated. Aki just nodded.

"Naruto, I think we should be going now." Aki stood from her seat and bowed in front of the older Uchiha, "It's been nice meeting you." Then walked away together with naruto.

She's rather cute Itachi thought.
