VI

"Sasuke reported that you've been having frequent nightmares, Imouto."

Kagome glanced at Itachi from the corner of her eye, before continuing to gaze at the koi in the pond. She gave a small shrug, and was surprised to feel a warm, large hand on the side of her neck in the next moment.

"What has been bothering you?" the prodigy whispered against her ear, warm breath tickling her as she blushed.

"Nothing aniki. Sasuke over-reacts with the smallest of things," she said quietly, glancing away from her twins inquisitive gaze.

"We are nineteen years of age. We do not have nightmares at this age without reason. Let alone reoccurring nightmares," Itachi crossed his arms stubbornly.

"Maybe I have them because I'm not allowed to sleep in our room anymore!" she huffed, and he gave her an amused smirk.

"What's the real reason for the nightmares, Kagome?" he demanded, causing her to sigh.

"They aren't nightmares. They're dreams...pleasant dreams," she whispered, and his eyes widened.

"...sexual dreams?" she blinked at the low growl in his voice.

"They are of a sexual nature, yes..." she watched as his sharingan activated, and let out a small squeak when his hands gripped her shoulders.

"What male do you fantasize about?" he near snarled, and she gave a small cough.

"I don't think I should tell you that, aniki..." she murmured, only for him to growl louder.

"What male dares to pervert my twin's dreams!" he released her to punch the railing of the small bridge, causing a chunk of wood to fly into the pond.

"Do you really insist?" she watched in an unimpressed manner as he continued to take out his anger on the scenery around them.

"Yes!"

Kagome, for a moment, mused that he was acting rather childish, before she shrugged internally, and leaned towards him. He straightened expectantly, only to stiffen in shock as she pressed her lips against his briefly.

"My aniki is the one that perverts my dreams," she said evenly, before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.
