Simply Complicated

CHAPTER II

"Good after noon Sasuke, Sakura, Uchiha-sama." She flicked a glance in his direction. Was it just him or was his respectful title a little bit sarcastic?

"Higurashi-san." Sasuke looked ready to run over to him but instead calmly and as fast as possible without running did so. He looked up at Itachi expectedly, and Itachi patted him on his head, the very thing that told Sasuke he was proud of him and approved of him and whatever it was he was doing. Sasuke brightly smiled. The very same smile people of the village thought not but a rumor. Sakura blushed, awed and amazed eyes wide and mouth opened.

"Kagome-momma, we were just looking for you and Itachi-sama! The Boss Man wanted to see you both!" the now identified Naruto gleefully cheered. Why was the kid so happy? And why did he call Kagome, Kagome-momma? Questions, questions…

"Why?" She asked Naruto, but it was Sasuke who answered.

"He has a mission for the both of you." He however spoke to Itachi, just like Naruto only spoke to Kagome.

Interesting.

"Will you take me there as I seem to have lost my way o great ninjas'?" Kagome dramatically cried and immediately Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura told her they would. What immaturity.

Following the weird group Itachi took the time to study Kagome who was playing with the kids. She had on her always seen with black gloves, her hair in a braded bun as usual, and with a charm bracelet with what looked like miniature weapons on it. She had on black pants that were tight till they reached her knees then flared out. Some black boots and a tight blue spaghetti strap shirt with a black fish net shirt that the sleeves ended at her elbow. She was currently wearing other jewelry, bracelets, and a black chocker.

"ITACHI!" Sasuke cried joyfully as Kagome chased him, caught him and began tickling him. When she stopped she and the children huddled up and began whispering. Itachi knew, he just knew whatever they were whispering about wasn't anything good, at least not for him. Sasuke was the first wave followed by that Sakura girl then the little whisker wearing runt then Kagome. Sasuke attacked low, Sakura high, the runt to hold and Kagome to attack. It was a beautiful plan, one that would have work had it not have been the number one ninja in the village they were using it on. That wasn't arrogant either, it was pure fact.

I never expected Sasuke's plan to work so there was no surprise that it didn't. However the fight that damn Uchiha started was. After Sasuke tackled him he side stepped Sakura and Naruto seemed to have knocked him down but with ease and strength he seemed able to stand, both children still on him, and look at me with such a boastful lift of a brow that when I went to attack him as I was bid. But that freaking Uchiha grabbed both of my arms and smirked down at me and I knew it was time to wipe that smile off his face. I round-housed him to the ground and the impact was two times worst because of his two little cling on like newly acquired accessories. If he was a good man, or at least cared for his brother, I knew he'd protect them with his body, and I was right.

He then released both of the kids and charged at me with surprising swiftness. Who would've thought that Uchiha Itachi was quick to anger? I thought he was more level headed. Hn, I guess people don't know the real teme, huh? I evaded his attack with an easy sidestep and tried to avert his attention back to the fact we did have a meeting with the Boss Man. He insisted on seeing how I could handle myself and I knew he was about to hand my ass to me. As good as I am I was no damn Itachi and pissed me off so I attacked right back. Damn, was it never good enough to be Kagome? Infuriated unrighteous anger made Kagome violently react and fight back.

As the two quick as flashes attack each other another ninja joined the watching teenagers. He was a little over twenty and had a mask that hid a little more than half his face and a toned body. He was putting away a book as he watched.

"Aren't those two supposed to be at the Hokage's Tower?" the kids jumped and the man sighed, they had no idea of what was happening around them and for a ninja that could be deadly.

"Kakashi-sensei!" two of the three cried, the other just gave him a glare of annoyance. Kakashi looked at the battling duo and sighed. He let out a piercing whistle that caused Kagome to stop and put a hand to her ears just like Naruto. She kicked some rocks at Kakashi and three of the four hit him, the other was caught by Itachi as it was speeding towards him.

"Oww! I was just sent to see why the two of you were taking so long! Damn it Kagome!" He grabbed her by the arms and slammed her against a tree. She grinned up at him and with irritating ease slipped out and was standing by Naruto. Kakashi growled, and looked at Itachi.

"Whoever marries you will need to take a firm hand to you!" Itachi's body language never betrayed him but his eyes flashed and gave Kakashi all the answer he needed.

"Let's go Kagome-momma you could play with Kakashi-sensei later! You have to get your mission from the Boss Man." She followed Naruto as he and Sakura began walking toward the Hokage's Tower. Sasuke waited for his brother and soon they too followed.

She was so infuriating! And why was she so familiar with Sasuke's teacher? Itachi mentally growled at his-self and barely noticed that he was already in the Hokage's Tower. There the 'Boss Man' or Hokage sat waiting very impatiently.

"What took you two so long? No, never mind I need you two to go on a mission to find the Sound Country's Prince and Princess. Starting now. You may take whomever you want." He then dismissed him. Starting on the millions of papers he had to read, sign and handle. They exited with no such luck as a by your leave.

"Who are you taking Kagome-momma?" Naruto asked. She looked thoughtful for a moment then shrugged. Sasuke looked expectant at me and I sighed.

"No one." I'd leave Kagome too if it wasn't both of our mission. She looked at me as if to say ditto and I narrowed my eyes at her. She's been too skilled at reading my mind and thoughts unsaid. It was disturbing and bothersome.

"What about us Kagome-momma!" Naruto asked excited and jumping up and down.

She looked at him horrified and looked at me for help I smirked at her letting her and her mind reading eyes know I wasn't about to help her. She glared heatedly at me before turning her unique grey-blue-green eyes at Naruto. I ignored Sasuke's questing eyes. I was not about to deny him anything so if I didn't say anything and let her do it I was saved. Ingenious yes, I know.

"Naruto, I couldn't take you out of the village on this mission. Who else could I trust to protect the village but you and your very proficient friends to defend all the innocent people?" He looked at her as if he wasn't buying what she said then Sasuke spoke.

"Isn't that what ANUBE ninja's are for?"

She looked at Sasuke and smiled a dark ironic smile, "do you trust these ANUBE ninja with the life of your mother and father?" He glared at her and shut up. "I hope I could trust the three of you with the lives of my family and friends." All three gave her nods of agreements. "Good. Now come Naruto lets go I need to get something from the house." She bowed to them all and left with the hyper child. Seemed she handled that well….damn.

"Hey Itachi-nii-san?" Sasuke asked as we walked toward the direction of the Uchiha Clan Home. That Sakura girl walking in a totally different direction, which was not important. I nodded to him to let him know I heard him and waited for him to speak. He was bound to do so soon. He could never hold anything from me long.

"D-do you like Naruto's momma? I mean she isn't really his mother but she acts like one so…do you like her?" I looked questioningly at him, he must have took the same class as Kagome because he understood and kept talking, "it's just you couldn't take your eyes off her the whole time she was here. I bet I could ask you a question and you could tell me the exact number of black bracelets she wore." Seven. Not that I was counting. "So, do you?" He insisted. I found I wasn't going to get peace until I answered him.

"She is to be my wife." I sped up and he had to run to catch up and when he did he was quite for a while. Telling him apparently wasn't the best thing because the whole time I was getting ready to leave he asked billions and billions of questions. I met Kagome at the gate where she was talking to Naruto and Kakashi. Rather Kakashi was talking to her while Naruto was talking to his sensei and she was nodded every so often. Again, how close is she to Kakashi?

"Uchiha-sama if you are ready?" Kagome asked Naruto hugged her and with a small bow to him and his teacher he ran, presumably, home. I nodded in agreement.
