Itachi glanced at the raven haired boy that was staring at Kisa blushing a slight shade of red. He had blue eyes that said heartbreaker and a cute dimple on his right cheek that would be a lady killer. The boy was going to grow-up to be a playboy, he was somebody he didn't want his daughter near, especially when she was wearing something as short as her dress. He wore a pirate outfit, that could be bought at a Halloween department store, one eye covered with a black patch, the other hand he had a hook and soft looking raggedy cloth covered him along with a the bone and crossing pirate . And wasn't this boy Tim that tried to kiss, his daughter. Nope Kisa is not going anywhere near him.

He glanced at the father who was discussing art with Deidara. Yuki was right the father could be attractive in some aspects. He had the same raven hair, his son inherited for him. A sharp nose, that had yet to be broken, his eyes were too close together. Itachi could go on with all the man's flaws.

When the man looked at him, "Hello I'm William you must be," he stood up and stretched out his hand.

Itachi took it, "Uchiha Itachi, Kisa's father, and Yuki's husband," Itachi told the man.

The man froze, Yuki was married? He thought that attractive woman was single since he never saw her with another man. Not only that she was married the great Uchiha Itachi. An image of thin white gold wedding ring on Yuki's finger flashed in mind. Oh…well that was another women off his radar.

"Timothy wanted to go trick or treating with Kisa. He really likes her and begged me till I came," William said, his son clung on tightly to his leg. He was scared of Kisa's father, but he was a shy boy and was scared of a lot of people.

Itachi was about to say no, when Yuki came in, "That sounds like a wonderful idea, Naruto and Hinata had to cancel because their daughter caught the flu," She handed William a slice of cake.

"I really can't eat this," William joked, "I was hoping as soon as Kisa came home we could go trick or treating right away. It's getting late and I want the kids to get as much candy as they can before the older kids came out,"

"That does sound good," Yuki said.

Itachi stood in front of a house as his daughter and Tim ran to get some candy, from another house. How the hell did he get here? All he remembered was arguing with Yuki over if wanted his daughter near Timothy and Yuki telling him to go trick or treating with their daughter and William. And then Yuki's scowling face as she wore the witch's hat as she watched them off. Itachi reached to take of his cat ears but Kisa stopped him.

"No daddy keep them on you look cute," Kisa said, she then told Tim what house they were going to next.

From this trip Itachi learned that Kisa was bossy. Something she most of got from her mother since Yuki was the bossy type. She ordered/directed Tim to which house they will go to next. But she still had a good heart to let Tim keep all the candy he got even if he got a better candy then her, something Yuki would say she got from, Itachi. William at first tried opening up a conversation with Itachi but learned Itachi was the quite type. He watched his kid with loving look that only a father could have. As much as he hated his ex he could never hate the child because it was his child. Itachi knew the feeling the six months after Kisa was born and Yuki was in the hospital, Itachi couldn't hate the daughter, though he tried to ignore her the first two months he just couldn't because Kisa was his and Yuki's creation. Still the six months were still one big nightmare.

The kids ran from house to house getting as much candy as they could get. Kisa in the end tripped and fell from all the running. Tim stopped and helped Kisa up, Kisa was about to cry but she made eye contact with her dad and held it.

"Kisa," Itachi bent down so he was Kisa's level "Are you alright?" she nodded and looked at her knee, it was scratched up but not bleeding as badly. She now had a hole in her stocking, she sniffed a little.

"I'm fine," she mumbled, "Mommy said, I'm not allowed to cry." Itachi was shocked Yuki had forbid their daughter from crying, then again Yuki was one that always held back her tears and cried when she was by herself. Kisa rubbed her eyes and smiled, he could tell her knees still hurt but she was putting on a brave faces, something she must have learned from watching her mother.

"Come on Tim, we have to go get more candy." she walked instead of ran to the next house.

"Is your wife really that strict?" William asked, scratching the back of his head. Itachi didn't say anything as he watched his daughter comeback, smiling. William wouldn't believe how strict Yuki was but still Yuki telling her daughter not to cry was something Itachi never would have expected.

Itachi watched his daughter he was hardly ever home, so seeing his daughter was had hard. He tried his best to avoid calling home in case an enemy was nearby. His business was too dangerous for a family. Yuki he was guessing knew, but turned a blind eye. Drug trading was no laughing matter, which was why Deidara still stopped by every once in a while to check to see if everybody was safe. Sasuke called him to see if Kisa was still at home, still breathing, still alive.

They reached one house, the decorations were pretty scary if you were a child. Tombstones marked the front yard, haunting music played over some loud speakers; a few monsters were littered here and there and of course screams/giggles of little children. Kisa stood at the front of it stiff, a couple of teenage boys walked out laughing pushing Kisa out of the way. Tim glared at the boys and kicked one of their legs.

Itachi stood back and watched while William went to stop the fight. The boys pushed Tim to the floor, the boy began crying. The boys laughed, and move towards his daughter who was holding back tears.

"Don't touch me or Tim," Kisa said, her growl sounding more like a kitten's meow.

Itachi grabbed both boy's hand before they even lay hand on his daughter. She hid behind her father's leg. A couple of zombies walked past them not noticing anything. Kisa hid further behind her father's leg. She wasn't sure she liked Halloween much there was too much scary people running around, too much monsters, too much people trying to scare her.

Halloween last year wasn't this scary but that was because she went with her mother. Her mother had kept her away from scary places.

But still standing next her father made feel a bit braver…just a bit.

"Touch my daughter again, and I'll make you both suffer," Itachi said in icy cool voice. His face was stoic but his eyes showed anger. Kisa shrived just looking at him and stepped back scared. Her Daddy scared her.

The boys quickly ran away, leaving a fuming Itachi, a scared Kisa, crying Timothy and an angry William.

"Why didn't you let me get a hold of them?" William ask, petting his sons back.

"You would've been charged with an assaulting a minor if I had let you." Itachi said.

William glanced at his watch, "It's getting late I'm going to take my son home and put him to bed," he glanced at Kisa and pet her on the head, "You're a brave girl you know that,"

"Thanks," Kisa mumbles shyly, unusual habit for her. Itachi raised an eyebrow at this as William walked away hugging his son.

"Kisa, are you alright?" Itachi asked bending towards his daughter. He reached a comforting hand towards his daughter. Kisa flinched and pushed back. Itachi was surprised and, a small voice in his head that Itachi sometimes ignored, said that he was also hurt. Itachi stood up and shoved his hand deep in his pocket, "Would you like to go home?" Itachi asked.

Kisa shook her head, no. They walked around to a few more houses. Kisa's fear of her dad growing smaller and smaller till it was no more. Yes, her daddy was scary and yes, he had scared her a little bit but he protected her all the same. Just like all the stories mommy told her, before she tucked Kisa in to bed.

Itachi watched his daughter curiously, she moved close to him as more people in scary costume passed by them. A man jumped from the bush a screamed 'boo' scaring Kisa. Itachi grabbed his daughter before she fell and looked at the man who gave out candy to other scared children 'apologizing,' for scaring them.

Kisa bit back tears she couldn't hold it in any more as her father lead her away. She felt a salty tear lick her cheek as her father took her to the side.

"Daddy," Kisa said, trying to hold back a chock. Itachi bent down towards his daughter and looked questionably, "Mommy…" she paused, "Mommy said," tears began filling her eyes, her father didn't see it because of the lack of light in street corner where they were at, and Kisa's bang covered her eyes pretty well as she stared at the floor, "she said I'm not allowed to cry but," Kisa began to whisper. Itachi leaned in closer to his daughter. Kisa looked at him her eyes watery, "She also told me, the only place I'm allowed to cry is in daddy's arm,"[3]

Itachi was surprised, his eyes widen at the news. Yuki told their daughter that, but still even with how stubborn Yuki was, she still would only cry in front of him. Itachi was at loss of words.

"Daddy can I cry on your shoulder now," Kisa said, holding the hem of her dress. Itachi nodded as his daughter wrapped her tiny arms around his neck and began crying. Itachi hugged her as her daughters began sobbing, "I…I…it was scary," Kisa said.

"What was?" Itachi said brushing his finger between his daughters hair.

"You," Kisa hiccupped.

Itachi held his daughter even tighter as Kisa muffled her sobs on his shoulder, "I'm sorry," he mumbled.

After a few minutes Kisa had stopped crying but didn't let go of her dad. Itachi picked her up grabbing Kisa's pumpkin basket full of goodies, "Are you ready to go home?" Itachi asked her.

Kisa nodded too tired to even speak, she snuggled close to her father's warmth as the cold air now seemed to be seeping through Kisa's jacket, "I love you daddy,"

Yuki opened the door not all surprised to see Itachi carrying their sleepy child. What did surprise her was that Itachi was still wearing those ridicules cat ears, Kisa had handed him. Well…she was wearing witches hat her daughter bought her and ordered her to wear, before she left trick or treating.

"How was it?" Yuki asked taking her daughter from Itachi's hand.

"You failed to tell me how easy it is to scare Kisa?" Itachi said walking to the balcony to go smoke.

Yuki laughed a little, "Kisa, you have to wake up," she shook her daughter a little, "I have to give you a shower,"

"No," Kisa mumbled clutching on closer to her mother, taking in the familiar smell of apple.

"No, to the bath or to waking up," Yuki joked leading her daughter to the shower. Her hands on her daughters back, her daughter felt cold and she wanted to warm her up.

"Both," Kisa mumbled.

Yuki laughed again, "You don't want go to sleep all dirty do you?"

Kisa shrugged, before she jolted awake, "Mommy where's my candy?"

"Your father put it in the kitchen," Yuki told her, kissing the side of Kisa's head.
