So here is the newest chapter. I am not sure if I love how I wrote it but I like what is going on! It ended up being a little over 4050 words!

Start Chapter 3

Itachi had done just as promised and got his little brother and Harrison both ice cream while he fed little bits of dangos to Mai. Thankfully, it seemed like something was going on that day as he hardly saw any women which was always a terrifying prospect as they came in crazed rabid acting hordes anytime they spoted him, some older than his mother!

"Do we have to? Ugh, I don' wanna say hi! It's It's so troub-troubles-some! Troublesome! It's so troublesome mamma! You said we were getting Ice cream!" A boy complained, his voice sounding far too young to be speaking so well.

Itachi turned along with the two boys and Mai to watch what was going on. Standing in front of a dark haired woman was a little boy that much to Itachi's surprise didn't look like he could be older than his little brother. He had the start of a hairdo that reminded him of a pineapple and it was nearly black. Itachi could tell already that he would likely be handsome when he was older. He was also certain that he was a Nara, practically a clone of Shikaku which it had to have been his son as it was his wife that was lecturing the child.

"Nonsense. You don't want to be that weird kid that doesn't have any friends when they get to the academy do you?" A woman said.

"Friends will be t-troublesome." The boy insisted.

"No they won't now get over there and I'll let you have some ice cream!" The woman all but yelled at the boy.

He scuffed but did as he was told, not looking the least bit enthusiastic about it. He rubbed the back of his head, stopping in front of the group, he eyed the goat for a moment.

"How trou-troublesome.." He grumbled to himself for a moment, looking away from the goat. "Hi, my name is Shikamaru. My mamma says I have ta try to make friends." The boy said, yawning.

Itachi raised an eyebrow at the boy. "Itachi, nice to meet you." Itachi said politely. Mai glared at Itachi giving him an indigent bleat and demanded to be petted. "Sorry, this is our dog Mai." Itachi said, running a hand over her head.

"Yeah, dog." Shikamaru muttered rolling his eyes, too lazy to even argue about something so strange.

"I is Harr'i!" Harri shyly introduced himself nervously rubbing his arm but was still smiling, he offering the other boy his remaining ice cream when he noticed the boy didn't have any.

The boy looked momentarily and glanced in his mother's direction. She was talking to a blond haired woman with green eyes dressed casually. Likely one of the mothers she had invited for him to meet other children. He held back a groan. He refocused on the now borderline panicked looking pretty green eyed girl? "Are you sure you don' want to finish it? Mamma says she's ganna get me some later." Shikamaru asked, blushing a little bit.

"Umhum! Here!" Harri said, smiling sweetly and becoming much less nervous. He held out the less than half eaten cone of ice cream to the other boy.

"Th-thanks!" Shikamaru mumbled, not sure how to react. No one had ever done something like that for him before. Ice cream was a big deal after all!

"Oh, you like mint-chip to?" Shikamaru asked appreciatively.

Harry nodded blushing. "Yeah, it-it's my f-f-fav-arite."

Shikamaru smiled a little, "Mine to!" Even though Harri was definitely younger than him Shikamaru was beginning to feel glad his mother had forced him to come today. He could definitely see them becoming friends. She didn't seem troublesome at all which was weird because all the women he had ever met were! Shikamaru could definitely see the day being a fun one. He wondered if Harri's daddy would care if they went cloudwatching? He doubted that he would, he was extremely young looking even among Shinobi to be a daddy. Young guys were often pretty laidback.. or at least they were in his clan.

Itachi watched, frowning, as Sasuke stormed away when Shikamaru tried including him in his and Harrison's conversation. Both boys gave Sasuke puzzled looks before continuing on talking. Itachi wasn't sure if he liked how well the two boys seemed to be getting on. Harri was his after all. He narrowed his eyes a little trying to decide if it was okay with him. On one hand Harry seemed to be having a good time and wasn't acting shy at all like he normally did and was making friends… On the other, he was having a good time interacting with someone else and was making a friend which meant he may not end up just caring about Itachi when he got older. Harri also wasn't being nearly as clingy or nervous acting like he normally was around other people which kept him only want to interact with Itachi. It was rather upsetting. Itachi sighed to himself, deciding that he would allow his beloved child one friend. The Nara could be a real asset in the future.

Itachi grimaced as women slowly filled the area. Thankfully, they didn't seem interested in him for once and instead were introducing children to each other. He ignored the glances some of them gave Mai. He grimaced as he watched his little brother practically take over as leader of the horde of children. Itachi watched as Sasuke smugly looked over in Harri and the Nara boy's direction like he thought he had outdone them. His little brother's eyes turned to slits as he realized neither boy even looked up from the piece of paper they were taking turns drawing or writing something on. Shikamaru seeming to be explaining something to Harri with a look of concentration on his face, Harri nodded along with what the other said with a look of understanding…. This wasn't going to turn out well.

Sasuke came over to the pair, sneering. "Look, look I gots more friendses!" Sasuke insisted, pointing at the large group of children.

"Just ignore him Harri. Mamma says people like tha' have s-superior-superiority complaaxious cuz' they are in-insecure!" Shikamaru said in a bored tone, not even looking up from the game of ticktacktoe the pair was playing. He wondered if his mamma had remembered to pack the checkers like she had promised? He bet Harri would have some trouble but she seemed smart and he loved that game! That would be a fun one to play, he was sure. Harri was little but seemed to learn fast.

"You can't talk to me that way, Harri is MY cousnin! I can say whats I want!" Sasuke insisted, growing flustered when Harri did just as the other boy told him to do and ignored him. Stupid boy embarrassing him when he was just trying to get Harri to want to play with him! Harri never payed enough attention to him! Harri should only pay attention to him!

Shikamaru grimaced, clenching his hand in his lap so the others couldn't see. He could already tell that it wasn't going to take long for the situation to spiral into a brawl. He wanted to snort, even as young as he was Shikamaru knew it was wrong to hurt younger kids or bully them, especially if they were little girls. What a nice older cousin to have... not! He sucked in a deep breath, sliding his other hand to his lap and made a box with his fingers, concentrating.

The Uchiha boy was going to have the other children, the taller ones, surround the table then he was likely to go after him first as he seemed to perceive Shikamaru as being the threat to his control. He would use the other children to make it difficult for the adults to see what was going on. He would then likely drag a few other children in to assist him. Most likely the girls that were fawning over him as they were likely to do as he asked without question. He would then go after Harri after using him as an example to try and scare Harri into doing whatever he wanted her to do. In the process, as small as she was she would likely get seriously hurt…. Maybe even hospital hurt….. How troublesome. Shikamaru tried to not let his fear show but he couldn't stop the droplets of sweat that began to bead up at his forehead.

"Sasuke. I would hope you aren't trying to intimidate Harrison again….? It upsets me when you do that… And I thought you had gotten over that nasty little streak, shame, shame…. Remember what I told you I would do if you tried doing that again?" Itachi asked in a deceptively friendly tone of voice. He walked through the crowd of children with confident silent predatory grace. His eyes glinting a slight red.

Sasuke turned looking at his brother with a nervous expression on his face and wide eyes. "I-I not see you brover…. Pwease-pwease don' make me do it! I be good!" Sasuke simpered.

Itachi gave his little brother a borderline evil smirk, his now demonic looking red eyes glimmering with cruel glee that sent a terrifying chill down every child's spine, of course except for Harrison who happily smiled at his daddy. He loved how good of a mood he was in today! Maybe he would let Shika and him play at the park today? Daddy never let him play at the park. Always saying something about c-cougars? He wasn't sure what that was but daddy always shivered when he talked about them so Harry thought they were probably scary. He also said that other kids were icky and that he didn't like them around Harry because they could make him not feel good.

The children waited with baited breath to see what Itachi was going to do to his little brother. All but one, a pink haired girl with a massive forehead even a blonde haired girl with pupil less blue eyes had backed down. The pinkette puffed up her chest and sneered the best a 4 year old could. "You can' do nothing to him! Saske is too pretty! He's ganna be the best ninji ever then yous is ganna get in lots a troubles!" The little girl insisted, a blush lit her cheeks as she eyed Sasuke with a dreamy look on her face.

Itachi ignored her, he wasn't going to get in a fight with a kid hardly old enough to go to pre-academy. "Don't worry. I'm not going to physically harm him." Itachi said, loosening the leash around his wrist. He lunged forward and quickly tied the leash to his brother's waist. "It is much more effective to embarrass someone into behaving than harming them when they are that prideful. There is only so many bones to break after all. Now as I told you before if you misbehave again and are cruel to my baby, you will have to deal with Mai all day long. Mai will be with you literally everywhere you go now as you seem to think she is distasteful to be seen with. If you ever do this again you will be stuck with her for a month, just in time for the start of school to." Itachi said, in an aloof monotone.

"You-yous can' make me take it to school!" Sasuke yelled in outrage, fighting Mai as she tried to drag him to the table to get pets from Harri. He fell over with an embarrassing squeak, dragged over the painful concrete getting road burn on the back of his legs. Mai happily nuzzled Harry's hand not paying any mind to the other boy who had consistently shown her no attention, the hell with him her Harri would give her anything she wanted! She happily lapped at the new boy's hands hoping to get some of the sweet smelling stuff that she smelled on his breath. She hopped up on the bench, startled when a heavy weight nearly drug her off.

Several children began giggling at the strange sight. Sasuke was hanging a few inches from the ground flailing around and trying to keep himself from cry at the embarrassment. Why would his brother put him through such humiliation? He just wanted Harri to pay attention to him! Only him, he couldn't see what was so wrong about that! His parents had told him that they were going to convince Itachi to have Harri be his when they were older and if he was his than he should act like it!

"You have forgotten your place little brother. Harri is mine, not yours and no matter what mother and father tell you that will never change." Itachi said, looking mildly amused. He couldn't believe that none of the other parents had noticed what was going on at all. They obviously weren't very attentive.

"Harri, Mai. Time to go." Itachi said, looking completely bored now that his little brother just sat there glaring at him as murderously as a small child could. He thought Sasuke would be more vocal. Hn…. Hatching a plan then? What a pain.

"Wai' but Daddy! Can Shika pway?" Harry asked, grasping his new friend's hand and dragging him over to Itachi with shining green puppy eyes.

"Hn."

"Yay! Let's go awsk yous mommy, daddy say in mornin'!" Harri squealed in excitement, dragging his friend over to the group of women. His excitement quickly died down as an intimidated feeling chocked him. He scuffed his feet. Too afraid to make the last few feet of the journey.

Shikamaru was still floored. His new friend knew what had been said? It made no sense all the teenage father did was grunt! How could Harri understand him? Was it some special jutsu or something or were they able to talk to each other using their minds like the moon people from the book his daddy forgot out that he had read last week? Had he become friends with a moon person disguised as a human? Whoa, that would mean that the Uchiha's were all moon beings! He would need to keep an eye on them then!

"Hey, mamma? Can I play with Harri in the morning?" Shikamaru asked.

"Huh, what's wrong Shikamaru? We aren't going home yet." His mother said, going to turn back to the group of ladies talking.

Shikamaru rolled his eyes, "Trouble-troublesome!... I said can I play with Harri in the morning? Harri's daddy… said we could."

"Wait, really? You actually tired making a friend? You aren't yanking my chain are you?" The dark haired woman said looking startled.

"Yeah. That's what you want right?" Shikamaru asked in a bored tone of voice.

"Hm, if you really found a friend then where are they?" The woman asked, suddenly looking suspicious of her son.

"Uh, right here. This is Harri." Shikamaru said, gently pulling the practically cowering child from behind his back.

"Hi…" Harry squeaked. He really wished that daddy hadn't taken Paddy away while he ate ice cream he couldn't remember the last time he felt so scared.

"Oh, she's so darling!" A plump kind looking woman with short dark hair and strange orange markings around her eyes cooed. "A little thin though, poor thing!" Her eyes practically sparkling.

Harry couldn't help but blush at the announcement. He wasn't a girl!

"Yeah, Harri is my new friend. Can we play in the morning mamma?" Shikamaru asked impatiently, he didn't mean to make his new friend uncomfortable. Troublesome ladies!

"Of-of course sweety! That would be great!" The woman said in an oddly excited tone of voice. Shikamaru shivered at the look in the woman's eyes he didn't recognize it but he didn't like it.

"Th-thanks…. Harri's daddy is that guy over there." Shikamaru said, pointing to Itachi who was watching something with a satisfied smirk on his face while the other children laughed uproariously. He was quick to drag Harri away from the horde of women before they got all loud. He knew that women acted weird around the teenager.

"W-w-wait! Harri's father is I-Itachi Uchiha?! Isn't he a bit young?" A brunette haired woman with brown eyes asked.

"Who cares! That-that means my Shikamaru has caught the eye of Itachi Uchiha's daughter! EEEEEHHH! This is the best! She is so a-dor-a-ble to! Did you see her eyes? They were gorgeous! I have never seen anyone with eyes like those…. I-I didn't even know an Uchiha could have anything but black eyes! I'm going to have the most beautiful grandkids in all of leaf!" The dark haired woman gushed holding her cheeks between her palms.

"You don't know that they will get married. I mean my son, Kiba, definitely has his father's wild charm and exotic looks already. His markings are nearly as dark as mine to! Most Inuzuka don't have their markings in fully until they are at least 7 or 8! He just turned 4! He's going to make a fine clan head with how powerful he is likely to be. How do you know that your son is going to marry her, maybe mine will?" A wild haired brunette with slitted animal like eyes and bright red triangular markings on both of her cheeks along a stripe like eyeshadow over each eye, challenged the dark haired, dark eyed woman. Getting in her face.

"What about my son? He is far more attractive than either of yours and an Uchiha…. Even if we are of a lower branch family unlike the both of you, heir Itachi, is far more likely to let a marriage between someone from our clan than yours!" A rather plain looking woman with a black bob cut and coal black eyes nearly snarled at the other women. Her grandmother had been of the head family and spoke often of it. She wanted that for her son, what an honor that would be! Itachi being eldest, Harri would take over. It was rare for a female to, but they were one of the few clans that would allow the eldest child no matter the gender to take over.

"Yeah right, my Rasen has a way better chance! He is going to be handsome and talented! His mother was a beautiful Shinobi from the Land Hidden in the Mist! She was the 2rd cousin of one of the legendary swordsmen even!" A man suddenly barged in, bragging. He was tall with dark blond hair in a short wavy haired ponytail, a striking chiseled face, stormy blue eyes and a devilish smirk.

"No one was asking you!" One of the women growled. The others nodded.

"Well, sorry for feeling bad that the poor girl was going to end up with such an ugly useless husband!" The man growled.

"You say that again dickhead!" The woman with fang like marks on her face snarled getting crazy eyed. She pulled out a Kunai pointing it at the man.

"Someone's got a death wish!" The man smirked pulling a Tobi from a spot hidden in the long jacket he wore. "Oh, well we will settle this marriage dispute the Mist's old fashion way!"

"Hey-hey! Daddy can we goes to da park later?" A little boy ran up and asked. He had black hair and steel gray eyes. He seemed not to notice the danger at all.

"Um… Yeah of course buddy! Let daddy just get rid of this lady first, K'?" The man said smiling adoringly at his son, like he didn't have a sword aimed in such a way at the woman's abdomen that if hit, her guts would spill out onto the pavement.

"Oh! You means make her dead? Is it fow the pretty girl? The one I said I liked?" The boy asked tone excited.

"Of course! If she is the one you like she's the one you will get." The man said.

Oh, okay, it's the one with the pwetty black hair an' eyes. I get her if the lady is dead?" The child asked.

His father nodded looking strained as the Inuzuka woman in front of him growled in annoyance.

"Oh, okay then. You should kill the lady then cuz' I want her. Sorry for bovering you daddy! I'z will just go play till youz done!" Rasen said disturbingly cheerfully, showing off razor sharp teeth as he grinned, before walking away.

"Okay, stay in sight now!" The man cheerfully called back, eyes still full of bloodlust as he once again zeroed in on his pray.

Most of the women looked unnerved at the man.

"I like how everyone is ready to kill each other over my child when I have never even told anyone that they would be allowed to be near my Harri let alone marrying there child off to my child…. Also, you, your kid is…. 'playing' interrogation unit with some weird looking girl with a huge forehead. He's dissecting something she keeps shrieking, Sweetybell, at and I am assuming it is a rabbit? Anyway if any of you would have been paying attention you would have heard both her horrified screams and the animal's… unless you want to have to get him medicated I would suggest stopping him….. Oh, and I think the girl is traumatized for life or something because she is now curled up in a ball covering her eyes…. Definitely not Shinobi material being raised there." Itachi said in a bored monotone, eyebrow raised at the group of supposed parents. His throat beginning to hurt at how much he had spoken.

"By the way, meet Harri and I at the park closest to the number 5 training grounds at 7." Itachi said more as an afterthought to the dark haired woman, not caring to learn her name. Walking away before anyone one could comprehend what was going on.

A few moments later he heard one of the mothers shriek. One with dull green eyes and blonde hair cut in a rather ugly hairdo. At least in Itachi's opinion.

"Harry, it's really time to go this time." Itachi cooed. He walked up behind his beloved child and ran gentle hands through soft nearly chin length hair.

"M'kay Daddy!" Harry said, instantly smiling at him. "See 'marrow Shika!" Harry said, waving enthusiastically.

Shikamaru pouted, "Yeah… Okay… I guess." He grumbled. He hoped they got to play together way more the next day he was really beginning to like her!

"What? No! No! Don' want Harri to! It isn'ts fair!" Sasuke complained, stumbling a bit as Mai insisted they follow Itachi.

"Hhhnnn." Was Itachi's reply which roughly translated as, (Well, I am definitely not taking you with that attitude! Shape up and I might.)

"Hnnnn!" Sasuke whined. (But that isn't fair I want to go to!)

"Nn" Itachi snorted. (Yeah, that's a no.)

"Not fair 'Tachi!" Sasuke huffed, sniffling he crossed his chubby little arms refusing to even look at his big brother anymore.

"Daddy my Paddy pea'?" Harry asked in a needy tone.

"Hn." Itachi grunted, smiling. He untied the toy from his utility side pack and handed it back to his Harri. Feeling warm as Harry delightedly smiled up at him. How he adored his child. He couldn't wait until Shishui has back from his long term mission. Itachi's practically brother had hardly even gotten to see Harry before getting sent away. He was sure that Shishui would adore his beloved little one! He was also sure that his friend would not like how bratty his little brother was becoming. Itachi hoped that he would grow out of it and grow to love his Harri. He wouldn't be putting up with his little brother bullying his son just because he was jealous! Itachi couldn't remember the last time that he had been so happy though. Itachi didn't think he truly knew what it felt like to be happy until he had decided to save Harri and become his father. Harri was such a sweet wonderful cheerful child.

As an afterthought, Itachi hoped Harri's clothes were at home by the time they got back. He was sure that he would look absolutely adorable in the clothes they had picked! Itachi really needed to get his camera fixed he decided.
