Hello everyone, how's it going
I know it's been awhile since I published anything at all. Had a few writers block that finally disappeared
Funny thing is, this chapter was to be something completely something else but it turned into what it is now because I felt bored. I still have what I was originally going to do and will probably finish it later but still, odd how my mind works *Shrugs*
So this chapter was supposed to be published a few days ago but I had to I didn't publish it because I quickly learned about something that I had to add to this chapter because of the small fact I learned, it'll be explained down where I added the last part of this chapter. So before we begin
Dislcaimer: All property is owned by their rightful owners, I only own the story
Now without further ado, let's begin
"Sasuke, are you getting Yang something for her birthday?" Itachi asked as he walked up to Sasuke who was lying on his back on his couch while he read from his book
"No, we have a silent agreement that neither of us needs to give the other a present on their birthday" Sasuke said simply as he turned the page of his book
"Come now, she's your friend Sasuke. Get her something, it is her birthday after all" Itachi urged his brother to do something for Yang
"Why are you so interested in what I do for her birthday?" Sasuke asked dryly as he lowered his book to stare at Itachi's face
"I just figured it would be nice of you to show how much you changed and to show how much of a friend you are to her" Itachi said with a shrug as Sasuke kept on staring at him
". . . . What's the real reason and don't give me that 'I want what's best for you' crap" Sasuke said dryly
". . Okay I just wanted you to get out of the house and actually spend time with other people" Itachi said bluntly
"I spend time with people" Sasuke said lightly
"Going to Signal and doing your work with Yang does not count as spending time with people" Itachi said as he crossed his arms while looking at Sasuke in exasperation
Sasuke let out a groan of annoyance ". . . Fine, what should I get her" Sasuke asks
"How should I know, you're her friend" Itachi said walking out of the room and out the door of the house
". . . Why was he even here in the first place?" Sasuke asked as this was the first time in a few weeks he had a face to face talk with his brother in two weeks
Sasuke shook his head with a sigh as he decided to figure out what to get Yang. From what he knows she likes to, drink, party, make stupid puns, jokes, likes to get into fights and. . .
"Hm~. . . . Might as well" Sasuke mused as he got up and went to get Yang's gift
"Happy birthday!" Everyone shouted as Yang blew out the candles of her cake as everyone cheered
"Whoo~ Let get the party started" Yang shouted out as everyone cheered once more. The entire party was taken place in Yang and Ruby's backyard with Ruby mingling with her friends while the adults stayed in the corner away from the party while still keeping an eye on their children
"You know I don't get why that so called friend of yours doesn't come to your parties" A boy asked Yang who immediately knew he was talking about Sasuke
"Honestly, how can you hang around the loner. Sure he's hot but he's not that fun" Another friend asked
"Hey, don't be mean to Sasuke. Just because his preference of fun is different to ours doesn't mean he can't be fun to be around" Yang said defending her friend
"Whatever you say, I'm just saying a real friend would at least show up to your birthday" Her friend said with a roll of her eyes
Before Yang could say anything her Scroll vibrated "Hold on" Yang said as she pulled out her Scroll and saw it was Sasuke. Yang answered the call as she put it to speaker "How's it going Sasuke" Yang said in an upbeat tone as her friends gave her a curious glance
"I'm doing fine. . . Happy birthday Yang" Sasuke said after a moment as Yang smiled
"Aw~, you didn't have to call to say that, you know that" Yang said with a soft smile
"Yeah I know, I just felt I might as well say it now because I know for a fact you'll just be screaming out of joy for what I'm getting you" Sasuke said lightheartedly as Yang blinked
"You didn't have to get me anything Sasuke" Yang said as her smile as reaching from ear to ear at how he was getting her a present
"Are you sure" Sasuke asked as he walked up to her and her friends, surprising them as he essentially appeared out of nowhere in their point of view "Then I could just return it then" Sasuke said shutting his Scroll off
"You enjoy surprising us at any chance you get, don't you" Yang said slightly amused at her friends shocked reactions at his presence while she's experienced it so many times she gotten used to Sasuke popping out of nowhere
Sasuke shrugged as a smirk appeared on his face "A little" Sasuke admitted as Yang let out a soft laugh "So do you or do you not want your present" Sasuke asked
"Well seeing as you took the time to get it-" Yang said with excitement in her voice
"Alright, let me go get it" Sasuke said as he walked away from then before disappearing in the crowd of friends
Yang stared at his retreating body before turning to her friends with a smug look "So, he's not a good friend huh" Yang said mockingly with a smirk as her friends rolled their eyes
"Let's see what he gets you then you can say if he's a good friend or not" The guy muttered dryly before everyone heard something roar over their voices. The entire party went silent as the roar got louder before the gate to the backyard was knocked opened as the 'gift' Sasuke had came riding through the backyard as everyone moved out of its way as Sasuke swerved to a complete stop a few feet from Yang
Yang's jaw was open at what she saw as Sasuke walked up to her and held out a pair of keys "Enjoy" Sasuke said as he took Yang's hand and placed the keys in her open palm
Yang stared at the keys in her hand then to her present Sasuke got her. It was a custom yellow orange dust-cycle, the newest model of dust-cycle to be precise, that incorporated a hidden gyro-stabilization that kept it upright without a kickstand and a custom engine that can go to an average of 225 mile per hour
Yang kept on staring at the cycle for a good while as Sasuke looked at her slightly amused before pulling out an orange helmet. Sasuke put the helmet on Yang's head as that snapped her out of her stupor
"Have fun" Sasuke said simply with a small smile before returning to his natural neutral face. Yang stared at him before her face slowly turned from shock to ecstatic in an instant as she tackled Sasuke to the ground
"THANK YOU~!" Yang screamed out in joy as she tightened her grip on Sasuke who was struggling to get out of it
"Yang! Let me go, you're crushing me!" Sasuke shouted as everyone began to laugh at the scene
"Thank you thank you thank you" Yang squealed as she tightened her hold on Sasuke who finally got an arm out of her grip and pushed her off. Sasuke got up breathing deeply from the lack of oxygen before turning and helping Yang up
"Next time I give you a gift, don't try to kill me" Sasuke said sarcastically as Yang pulled him into another hug that was softer than the previous
"Thank you" Yang said in a soft ecstatic voice
Sasuke let out a huff before smirking "You're welcome" Sasuke said as he awkwardly patted her back causing Yang to let out a snort of laughter before letting go of him. Yang went over to examine her new bike that everyone was gathering around in awe
"Did you seriously buy my daughter a dust-cycle" Taiyang said dryly with a blank expression on his face
"That is freaking awesome!" Ruby exclaimed in excitement
Taiyang let out a sigh "You do realize you just gave my daughter another way to get into trouble, right?" Taiyang asked exasperatedly
"Of course but that's your problem, not mine" Sasuke said simply before walking away from a fuming Taiyang and Ruby who was sneaking away from her father. Sasuke walked up to Yang who was seated on her new bike "I'm going now" Sasuke stated as Yang looked saddened by that
"You're leaving so soon, come on, stay" Yang pleaded as Sasuke shook his head
"Parties aren't my thing, you know that" Sasuke said as he walked off "See you later Yang" Sasuke said with a wave before out of nowhere a bunch of newspapers covered his figure from their line of view for a split second before showing that Sasuke disappeared.
All of Yang's guests and family stared in shock at what Sasuke did ". . . . . You know maybe I should've asked him to teach me how to do that disappearing trick instead of the bike. . . Ah who am I kidding, I'm never letting this bad girl go" Yang said gripping the handles of the cycle
"Well then you're paying for your own gas because I'm not paying" Taiyang said dryly
Yang pouted before her Scroll went off again before Yang could begin to argue with her father. Yang answered "Hello?"
"I just forgot to mention there should be card that's good for year of gas, your welcome" Sasuke said before hanging up. Yang listened to dial tone for a second before hanging up as she began searching the mini compartments of the bike till she found it
"Aha!" Yang shouted out while holding up the yellow card "What gas money when I have free gas for a year, whoo~!" Yang cheered while the others were dumbstruck at what she said "Greatest. Friend. EVER!" Yang shouted out so loudly that Sasuke who was already a couple blocks away from her home heard her
Sasuke looked in that direction before smirking and shook his head as he went back home feeling good with what he did today
Yang was riding down the street in her dust-cycle as she was heading towards Sasuke's place. After a few minutes Yang arrived and parked her cycle in front of the house. Yang walked up to the house, opened the door and walked right in
"How's it going Mrs. Uchiha" Yang said as she stopped at the living room where Mikoto was currently watching T.V
"Ah, hello Yang it's good to see you" Mikoto said with a smile as she wasn't deterred by the notion Yang just walked into her home unannounced
"Today is Sasuke's birthday, isn't it?" Yang asked as she didn't see any decorations of any kind for today
Mikoto let out a sigh "Yes but like every year he just doesn't wants to celebrate it. With Itachi he's okay with getting a cake and us singing him happy birthday but Sasuke on the other hand" Mikoto said with another sigh "He just doesn't care much for his birthday that we decided to listen to his wishes and not 'make a big deal of it' or so he tells us" Mikoto said, air quoting what Sasuke told her and Fugaku
Yang frowned "That doesn't seem right" Yang said to herself
"If you can change his opinion about birthdays then by all means, try. Just don't do something to get you two in trouble, okay" Mikoto asked of the blonde who nodded vigorously
"Don't worry by the end of the day he'll be saying this was the best day of his life" Yang said with a huge grin as Mikoto laughed softly at that.
Yang then made her way up the stairs and towards Sasuke's room. Just as she reached his door and was about to knock, it opened
"What is it Yang?" Sasuke asked as Yang gave him a dry look
"At least let me knock on your door before opening it. Seriously, other people would call you a creep or stalker if you know all their movements, you know" Yang mused as the corner of Sasuke's eye twitched in annoyance
"I'll repeat, is there something you need" Sasuke asked dryly
"Well today we're going to do something fun and you can't say-"
"No" Sasuke cut her off and closed the door in front of her
Yang blinked at the action before scowling as she tried to open the door but it was locked so she did the reasonable thing to do. She kicked it
Yang kicked the door off its hinges and walked into Sasuke's room who was sitting on his bed with a bored look on his face
"Was that really necessary?" Sasuke asked dully
"Yes, you may not want to celebrate your birthday but there are people who enough about you to give a damn to celebrate it with you so stop being stubborn and have some damn fun today" Yang said with a huff while Sasuke rolled his eyes
"I don't really care for celebrating my birthday Yang. All I need is knowing that I'm alive and that's it" Sasuke said honestly, shocking Yang at what he just said
"That may be so but that doesn't mean I won't let you just spend the day in your room instead of having fun for at least today" Yang said with a smile as Sasuke let out a sigh
"You're not going to leave if I ask you, are you?" Sasuke asked as he already knew answer to the question
"Nope" Yang said crossing her arms with a huff while Sasuke let out a sigh
"Fine, if you really want to make today seem important" Sasuke said as he pulled out his Scroll and scrolled through it "Help me go around Vale to check up on my businesses" Sasuke said as he walked past her and out his room
"Okay. . . . Wait, what?" Yang said realizing what he said
"I own several businesses around Vale" Sasuke said as he leaned back into view "I need to check up on them to see if they're any problems with business" Sasuke said before leaving again as Yang blinked before quickly following Sasuke
"Since when do you own businesses?" Yang asked incredulously
"Itachi gave me the money to purchase my first business couple of years ago and since then I continued to buy up other small franchise which added up my total monthly revenue to the point that I don't have to worry about money" Sasuke explained as they headed downstairs "How do you think I bought you that dust-cycle" Sasuke mused before stopping in front of the living room "I'm going out for awhile, I'll be back for dinner" Sasuke said to his mother
"Have fun" Mikoto said cheerfully as Sasuke walked out of the house with Yang closely behind
"Come on, I'll drive" Sasuke said getting onto Yang's dust-cycle
"Alright" Yang murmured as she rather drive but decided not to say anything
They drove around Vale, visiting several businesses that Sasuke could easily check out with his clones but this is a good excuse to keep Yang from doing anything stupid today. They visited several stores varying from sweets, bakeries, even a few restaurants that were hidden away in corners of the street that people would never really notice
"So where to next" Yang said while eating her chicken parmesan she got at the last restaurant they just visited.
"Just one last place I need to check" Sasuke said as he drifted hard to the right, forcing Yang to use one arm to hold onto Sasuke while holding onto her food in the other. They soon arrived in a run down area of Vale where Yang couldn't help but feel there were eyes on them the second they entered the area
"Uh, Sasuke, where are we exactly?" Yang asked nervously as she didn't like the look of this neighborhood.
"This is a run down area of Vale where they never decided to make more appealing. But because most of the law council here is a bunch of racists they won't help" Sasuke said hotly
"Wait, why does being racist-" Yang didn't finish her last sentence when she soon noticed several faunus children playing at a basketball court. It was then she noticed the people they driving by were mostly faunus "Oh, I see now" Yang said feeling sorry for the people living here while Sasuke grunted in acknowledgement "So what is the business you own here exactly?" Yang asked curiously
"I own several apartment condos in the area" Sasuke answered simply as they turned to the next street and stopped in front of a red brick apartment condo. Sasuke got off the cycle with Yang following behind as she tossed her trash in the bin they were parked next to.
"Oh, welcome dearie. It seems I forgotten you were to come today" An old woman who was sitting at the steps in front of the condo said with a soft chuckle as Yang noticed the woman's grey tail that was feline in nature
"It's alright, I'm just here for a quick visit to see if there is anything wrong in the apartments that need fixing" Sasuke said with a shrug
"Don't you mean, ask for the month's rent" The old woman said with a smile
"You know I let most of you here for free" Sasuke stated as Yang looked shocked at that statement
"That may be so, but most of us really wish to pay you back for the generosity you've given us since you gained ownership of our building years ago" The woman said with a warm smile as Sasuke shook his head
"I don't care for your money, I only care about the people's well being who live here. That's enough for me" Sasuke said softly before hearing a sniffle behind him "Are you crying?" Sasuke asked incredulously as Yang wiped the tears forming in her ears
"Sorry, it's just, I never thought you had such a sensitive side to you Sasuke" Yang said giving him a warm smile of her own. Sasuke's mouth twitched upward for a bit before scoffing and looked away as Yang giggled at the action
"Well now, who's this" The old woman said taking notice of Yang
"Hello it's nice to meet you, I'm Yang, a friend of Sasuke's" Yang greeted in a upbeat tone that the old laughed softly to
"Oh how nice, honestly me and the others of my sewing circle thought he didn't have any friends if he spent so much time making sure everything in our building worked soundly" The old woman said with a smile
"Really now" Yang said looking over to Sasuke who took a great interest of looking at the walls of the apartment
"Yes, it warms an old woman's heart to know he actually has friends who will take care of him like he takes care of us" The old lady said with smile
"If only it were that easy with how stubborn he is" Yang joked as Sasuke's brow twitched and was about to retort if the old lady didn't laugh
"Oh certainly a challenge to get him to accept something I know" The old lady said with a soft laugh
"Ugh, I'm going inside to see if there is anything needing fixing" Sasuke said dryly as he walked up the stairs past the old woman "Coming Yang" Sasuke said at the front door
"Coming" Yang said quickly "Nice talking to you" Yang said to the old woman
"It was a pleasure talking to you as well" The old lady said as Yang quickly walked up the steps and into the apartment after Sasuke. Yang didn't stop smiling as they went up a floor towards the apartment rooms
"Could you stop smiling, it's slightly unnerving" Sasuke said turning to look at Yang
"Sorry it's just, I never thought you were this selfless" Yang said with a soft smile and eyes that shined with admiration that caused Sasuke to look away before he was mesmerized in the lilac eyes of hers
". . . . . I guess it's because I wished to atone I guess" Sasuke muttered softly to himself
"Atone? Atone for what?" Yang asked as Sasuke cursed as he didn't mean for her to hear him
"Nothing, just. . . Just know I've done things in the past that I'm not proud of" Sasuke said as Yang didn't need to look him directly in his face to see the hurt he had
"That may be so, but what is important is the present and not the past. That means whatever happened will make you learn from your mistake to become a better person now, which you are" Yang said supportively as Sasuke turned to look at Yang
Sasuke blinked before letting out a soft laugh "Thank you" Sasuke said sincerely
"Anytime" Yang replied
"I mean it, you didn't have to spend the day with me going over my businesses. You didn't have to do that" Sasuke stated calmly
"Eh, even if it wasn't your birthday today I would've still come along to keep you company" Yang said with a shrug as Sasuke shook his head before noticing something in his line of sight
"It's your birthday Sasuke" Yang looked in front of Sasuke to see a little girl with pale greyish complexion and gills on her throat say in awe
"No its-" Sasuke tried to deter the girl from doing what he she's about to do but didn't get to say a word in as the girl went back into her apartment
"Dad, today's Sasuke's birthday!" They heard the girl shout from inside her apartment as the door opened to reveal a large man with the same complexion and gills but also had webbing between his fingers
"I didn't know it's your birthday Sasuke" The man said loudly with a chortle as several other occupants came out of their rooms when they heard the man shout that little fact
"It's your birthday!"
"Happy birthday!"
"I didn't know it was your birthday"
The hallway was soon congregated with its occupants that surrounded Sasuke, all of them saying happy birthday and smothering him with love that Sasuke wasn't comfortable with
"O-Oi, stop I don't really care about my birthday" Sasuke trying to gently push them away
"Oh come now, everyone deserves to have a happy birthday" One the men said
"I know, but the poor idiot is to stubborn to accept it" Yang added as several laughed at that
"I'm just here to fix whatever is broken before I leave, okay" Sasuke announced trying to get away from the crowd
"Come now Sasuke, you've done so much for us. Let us return the favor for today" A young woman said with a kind smile
"Come Sasuke, stay" A little girl said holding onto Sasuke's wrist
"You might as well Sasuke, they're not going to let you leave until you say yes" Yang said with a grin as Sasuke let out a sigh
". . . . .Fine" Sasuke relented as he let out a huff as everyone cheered before they began carrying him down the stairs and towards the front door "Hold on, what are you-" Sasuke shouted in shock before they walked out of the entrance of the apartment
"What do you think"
"If we're going to celebrate your birthday then we can't do that in a hallway"
"So we're going hold the party out in the street so everyone can come"
And just they said, in a matter of minutes nearly everyone on the street came to say happy birthday to Sasuke who was uncomfortable about such thanks
Soon the block was used to host a giant party with everyone bringing what they can to eat and drink to celebrate Sasuke's birthday.
Sasuke who was sitting down on the stairs leading up to one of the apartments he owned was staring at everyone dancing, laughing, and having fun all for him. It was an odd feeling to have others celebrate in his honor
Sasuke looked around the party in front of him and saw Yang talking with a few of the people here. Yang noticed his stare and waved to him which he waved back.
Now that Sasuke thought about it, maybe it wouldn't be too bad to celebrate his birthday with people that cares about him. The rest of the day was spent with Sasuke watching others have fun for today, today was something he didn't need to worry about anything else but know there are others who care about him.
(The truth why I didn't upload this sooner was because I completely forgot Itachi's birthday and when I learned it was on the ninth of this month I had to make something for him, but because I couldn't finish his segment sooner I guess I should consider this a late special birthday to our favorite weasel, I hope you all enjoy)
Itachi woke with a yawn as he sat up in his bed as he noticed Glynda wasn't in bed with him. Itachi got out of bed and got dressed before heading towards his kitchen to see Glynda making breakfast for him and Tsuki who was playing with her rattle.
Glynda noticed him and smile as she walked away from the stove towards Itachi "Good morning" Glynda said kissing him as he kissed her back "Happy birthday" Glynda said softly as Itachi looked confused for a moment before realizing it was his birthday
"That's right, I actually forgot that was today" Itachi said laughing lightly at that fact
"So today's your day, we can spend it however you want" Glynda said pecking his cheek with a kiss before returning to the stove to finish making breakfast. Itachi hummed in thought as he stared at Glynda "I know what you're thinking, I think you'll have to wait later for that 'gift'." Glynda said with a sly grin before she placed their breakfast on the table as Itachi let out a chuckle
"Alright then" Itachi said amused as he went over to Tsuki "Morning Tsuki" Itachi said softly while planting a soft kiss on his daughter's head as the baby giggled in response. Itachi then sat down to eat his food "Well seeing as it's my birthday my parents have already planned a little party for me after work" Itachi said taking a bite of his food
"I guess so, you're mother is very pushy person when she wants to be" Glynda said as she placed their tea on the table
"She is but don't tell her that" Itachi joked as Glynda laughed as they ate their breakfast in peace before leaving the house with Tsuki and left her at their babysitter. Which is always being watched by one of Itachi's clones just in case something happens to his daughter
They then headed towards Beacon and went on their ways towards their separate classes. Itachi arrived to his class and heard his students already inside "Alright everyone settle down" Itachi announced as he walked into the classroom, and closed the door behind him. Before could start his lesson he noticed on his desk was a pile of presents "What's this" Itachi said in amusement as he knew what was on his table
"These are presents for your birthday" One of his students announced as he wide smile on his face
"You lot didn't have to do that" Itachi said happily
"True, but we wanted to" Coco said with a smile
"You are our favorite professor, why can't we thank you for being such a great person" Velvet added in with a smile
Itachi smiled and shook his head in amusement "Well seeing as you all spent time getting me presents" Itachi said reaching over and picking up a random gift "I might as well make the work for today just to take notes in your books while I open these" Itachi said as he dotted down the pages they needed to cover before returning to his presents and opening them
He gotten several useful and interesting things that varied from a coupon book for dango, whetstones that were laced in different variants of dust to give the edge of whatever blade he is sharpening a little boost in power depending on the dust type. He also gotten clothes, courtesy of Coco who said he would look good in it, he shrugged and put it away with the other opened gifts. One of the more unique items he gotten was the bamboo conical hat with a black tip on top and long white strips of rice paper falling down from the edges of the hat. It looked so much of his old hat in his past that it was scary
"Thank you all for the gifts everyone" Itachi said opening the last gift to reveal a very detailed pencil sketch picture of Glynda and himself "Hm, that's going up on my wall" Itachi mused as he placed the picture down and decided to put it up later "I guess seeing as I spent most of the time opening all the gifts you had for me and since I trust you all enough to have copied down your work in that time, I guess I could let out" Itachi said as everyone cheered "Remember, if anyone asked what you did in class just say that you had a pop quiz!" Itachi called out to his students who agreed unanimously
Itachi let out a breath of air as he sat down at his desk looking over the presents he gotten. Itachi smiled softly at how much his students love him as he pulled out a sealing scroll of his own make and sealed all his presents inside the paper scroll.
Itachi let out a sigh of content as he decided to take a nap as he has no work or homework to grade. Itachi propped his feet onto his desk as he snoozed off
"Itachi, Itachi" Glynda said shaking Itachi sleeping figure who grumbled a bit before opening his eyes. Itachi let out a yawn as he stretched a bit
"Hello Glynda, what's going on" Itachi asked calmly
"Well for one, my classes are done for the day and two, it's already three in the afternoon" Glynda said holding up her Scroll to show the time was around three
"Huh, didn't think I fell asleep that long" Itachi said with a yawn
"Don't tell me you let the students out of class early, you know we aren't supposed to do that" Glynda said sternly with her hands on her hip
"I had them do work and most of the stuff we were going to do today was review for the test tomorrow. Honestly I trust my students enough to know they'll study for their test without my help" Itachi said getting up from his seat "Besides, you know for a fact my class is easy to focus on for the most part. Plus my class barely gives out any work here because we're mostly looking over battle plans of past battles and explain how they won or why they lost or what would've made the battle successful." Itachi said with a shrug as Glynda let out a sigh
"I know you basically have an easy job but tactics is a serious thing to know, being able to make up plans on the spot is an important thing for a team to do if something ever happens on a mission they aren't prepared for" Glynda said seriously as Itachi let out a sigh
"I am serious about teaching my students you know that. I'm only lenient on them because they haven't been a problem and actually learn from my lessons very quickly to the point when I ask how to do a certain mission they are able to plot out how to do it very simply. Now that I think about it, I should start giving them harder questions" Itachi said as Glynda let out a sigh as she shook her head at him "Hey, look at me" Itachi said softly picking up her chin to look into her eyes "I know how important it is for the students to be ready to be protectors of this world but for now let us just focus on the present than the future" Itachi said leaning in for a kiss
Glynda smiled softly with a scoff "You'll never change" Glynda said in an endearing tone as she kissed him as he wrapped his arms around her waist. When they broke the kiss Itachi rest his forehead against Glynda's, both enjoying the other's presence
"I guess we should go get Tsuki" Itachi mumbled as Glynda hummed in agreement before letting go of each other a minute later as they packed up and left to go get Tsuki. Once they picked Tsuki up they went over to Itachi's parents place.
They soon arrived to his parents place and opened the door to see Sasuke waiting for them while eating a tomato
"Took you long enough" Sasuke said taking another bite of the tomato "They were about to send me out to find you" Sasuke said before gesturing to them to go into the kitchen. Itachi walked in with Glynda and Tsuki as they saw his parents waiting for them, Shisui even Yang and Ruby was there.
"Happy birthday Itachi" Yang said waving leisurely from her spot at the kitchen table with Ruby seated right next to her
"Happy birthday!" Ruby exclaimed excitedly
"Welcome home" Mikoto greeted as she hugged Itachi
"Happy birthday" Fugaku said patting his son's shoulder
"I must say, we're getting old my friend" Shisui mused as Itachi let out a chuckle
"So would you rather have your presents now or after we cut the cake" Mikoto said gesturing to the side to show Sasuke walking to the table with a red icing cake in hand that had black curlicue design frosting all over it while the words 'Happy Birthday Itachi' was written in white frosting as the candles were gathered around it.
"I guess I could open my presents now" Itachi said as Sasuke placed the cake on the table
Itachi began opening his presents, the first was from his parents who gave him an interesting wall clock to hang up in his class that had a black steel finished with a fleur de lis design around the edges.
The second gift was from Ruby who made him a normal looking Five-Seven pistol with a built in silencer, not something he would use but would be useful in case of something came up and he had to use a gun.
The third gift was from Yang which made him blink slightly at the sight of the gift because she gotten him a trench knife with spiked knuckles that were triangular in shape that was connected to the blade itself. Itachi had to hold in both a laugh and the incredulous look that was appearing on his face because that the knife looked exactly like the one Asuma, the man he fought in his past life, used to fight him with.
Itachi gave Sasuke a sideways glance as his little brother shrugged in response, as he couldn't believe the coincidence Yang would make something so similar to Asuma's own blade.
The fourth was from his wife who gotten him a silver ring with an interesting inlay on both sides. On the right was his clan symbol and on its left was the three tomoes of his Sharingan from when she first saw them and on the top was a garnet gem. If it had the kanji shu on it, it would've been identical to the ring he wore in the past life.
The fifth was Shisui's, his cousin apparently got him a new Scroll, who said it was nearly impossible to buy him anything without giving in and just giving him money. Itachi laughed at this and thanked his cousin for the new Scroll as he hasn't upgraded his Scroll in years
"Thank you all for the gifts, they were wonderful" Itachi thanked his family and friends before hearing Sasuke coughing to gain his attention "Oh Sasuke, did you get me something" Itachi asked slightly surprised
"I did, here" Sasuke said holding out a small box that size of his hand.
Itachi took the box and noticed there were small air holes around it. Itachi raised a brow in confusion at what Sasuke got him. Itachi opened the box expecting a small animal of sorts, like a cat or a dog or even a bird but no. What Sasuke got him made his brow twitch in irritation as he stared at Sasuke who was holding back a smug shit eating grin
"Not funny" Itachi said, reaching in the box and pulling out a brown and white weasel that was barely half the size of his palm
"Aw~ It's cute!" Ruby squealed at the sight of the furry small rodent along with the others while Shisui was trying his hardest not to laugh, and was failing.
"I don't get it, what's funny?" Yang asked when she noticed Shisui was trying his hardest, and still failing, not to laugh
"Itachi in the ancient Atlesian translates into, Weasel" Sasuke explained with a grin as everyone stayed quiet albeit Shisui's muffled laughter and Tsuki wanting to pet the weasel
Yang cracked a grin and let out a loud laugh "I always knew you had a sense of humor" Yang said wrapping on arm around Sasuke's shoulder which he responded with a 'hn'
Itachi let out a groan as he ran his fingers through his hair as he stared down at the small weasel that was nibbling on his fingers ". . . So, are we keeping it?" Itachi asked of his wife who just giving the small rodent a serious analytic look
"It's not carrying any diseases, is it?" Glynda asked calmly
"It's a she and she already has her shots" Sasuke stated calmly
". . . . She's not going to attack Tsuki" Glynda asked after a moment
"Not unless you keep her in her cage" Sasuke said with a shrug
"The cage?" Glynda asked
"It's probably at your house now" Sasuke mused as Glynda let out a sigh
"Well, I guess we could keep her" Glynda said rubbing her pointer finger against the small weasel's head before it began to nip lightly at Glynda's finger
Itachi laughed softly as he handed the small weasel to Ruby to hold as they began to light the candles of his cake. Honestly the thought of blowing out candles to make a wish is an amusing thought but, it's still a fun thing to do with family even when you don't need to wish for anything.
Itachi looked around to stare at his friends, cousin, wife, daughter, parents, and his brother as they all sang him happy birthday, even Sasuke as his mother smacked the back of his head to participate
'Yeah, I have everything I could ever want in this entire kitchen' Itachi thought with a smile as he took a deep breath and blew out his candles
And there you have it, I hope you all enjoyed this wonderful chapter as I'll be getting back to making the original story now.
To those wondering why I didn't upload an update to my Death's Academy story is because I'm having a writer's block with that story and will continue it when it's gone
So with that being said, please leave a comment, review, PM and I'll see you all later, have a great day.
