Summary: A series of one-shots featuring Uchiha Itachi babysitting the Hyuuga Heiress.
Setting: Ages reversed
10 year old Hyuuga Hinata smiled kindly at 5 year old Uchiha Itachi who stared curiously at the older woman.
"Itachi-san," Hinata said, her voice a deep whisper, "I-I'm going to look after you for a few hours, do you know why?"
Itachi, who was top of his class at the Academy, nodded and simply said, "Mom went to the hospital to have the baby."
"Tha-That's right, and the process will probably take a few hours," Hinata furthered, "Aft-afterwards, I'll take you to the hospital to meet your new little brother o-or sister."
Itachi blinked, not feeling the need to continue this conversation, merely noting her stutter.
After the awkward pause, Hinata began to talk again, "You know, I have a little sister your age."
"Hn," Itachi said.
"Hyuuga Hanabi, sh-she should be in your class," Hinata said timidly, she rarely initiated conversation.
"Please stop talking," Itachi said nonchalantly.
"Okay," Hinata said before they turned silent.
Only half an hour latter Uchiha Fugaku burst into the house and said, "Thank you watching Itachi, I'll be taking him to the hospital now, I hope he wasn't any trouble."
"Oh not aa-at all," Hinata said, "I was just pas-sing by the street when Mikoto-sama went into labor and recognized me. Itachi and I didn't do much at all."
"Hn," Fugaku said before taking Itachi's hand and said, "We'll be taking our leave then."
