-------------------------------------

After breakfast, five-year-old Uchiha Sasuke excused himself from the breakfast table, running after his older brother, who was preparing to leave. Itachi was now a chuunin, which meant that the younger Uchiha wouldn't be able to spend as much time with his brother; but no matter how long the mission, Sasuke was always able to spend the remainder of the night with him.

Sasuke's face lit up when he saw that Itachi hadn't left yet. Smiling, the younger boy ran up to his brother and attempt to hug him from behind, but...

Hearing the light, clumsy footsteps on the floorboards, Itachi glanced over his shoulder before turning, reaching his index and middle finger out to let Sasuke run into.

Pouting, Sasuke reached up and rubbed the pinkening spot on his forehead. He had managed to stop before he literally ran into the fingers, but still managed to get poked all the same.

"Forgive me, Sasuke." The usual line and excuse. "Another time, okay?"

"Before dinner, then!" Sasuke blurted out, determination clearly showing in his dark eyes.

Blinking at him, Itachi sighed softly before getting to his feet, having finished fastening on his sandals. "I'm not sure if I'll be back before then, Sasuke." Came the older Uchiha's cool reply as he reached over toward the door and slid it open.

"At least try to, nii-san!" Sasuke's huffiness was clearly showing in his voice, "You still have to teach me out to throw shuriken and kunai!"

Itachi had already taken a step out of the house before glancing back at his younger brother, "You're too young to learn how to throw weapons, Sasuke. You'll only hurt yourself. Wait a couple of years and ask chichi-ue to teach you then." A puffed up cheek was his response. Oh, how cute Sasuke looked when he pouted. And those cheeks were just tempting him to go over and pinch them.

"Tou-san said you were my age when you started training!" Sasuke hopped off the floorboards and walked over to his older brother, causing the other Uchiha to raise a questioning eyebrow at him. "Pweeeease, nii-san? I promise I won't screw up or hurt myself!" A full-blown pout with large, convincing puppy dog eyes. That look had always got the older Uchiha, without fail.

"I'll do what I can, Sasuke, but you have to promise to help okaa-san out today." Allowing himself a slight smile, Itachi reached down and ruffled Sasuke's hair a bit before removing his hand and fully stepping out of the house to meet with his teammates.

"Haaii!" Smiling happily, Sasuke waved his older brother off before turning on his heels and making his way back to the kitchen to help Mikoto clean the dishes despite the fact that he needed to use a stool to do so.
