AN: to the guest "mr" no, Kagome is not a civilian. She just recently entered the academy. Sorry for any confusion!

Fugaku sipped his tea calmly, staring at the matriarch of the Higurashi household. The daughter, and heir, sat next to her, a curious expression on her face.
Itachi remained seated next to him, stock still.
"To what do we owe the visit, Fugaku-san?" Rai Higurashi asked, smiling.
He set his lips into a stern line. The Higurashi clan and Uchiha clan were allies, not enemies, and he had to choose his words carefully to keep it that way.
"I've thought to bring it to your attention that your daughter has been frolicking around with my son recently."
Rai smiled, setting her teacup down and clasping her hands. "Oh yes, Itachi has been such good company for my little girl! He's been helping her with weapons and taijutsu."
Fugaku allowed shock to engulf him before he discretely glanced at the two.
Kagome seemed calm and reserved on the outside, but her eyes were betraying her emotions. She showed happiness to see his son, the slight twitching of her fingers showing her excitement that he was there.
He turned to look at Itachi, studying him more closely; he'd learned to keep his emotions masked from him very well. There was a slight upturn to his lips, showing he too was happy to see the small girl.
He was even more shocked to see the glimmer of love his boy openly showed.
A plan began forming in mind. Yes, Itachi was already betrothed, but it was to a lower ranked Uchiha in his own clan. By betrothing him to Kagome, not only would they be in charge of them both, it would add new genes to the pool.
"Ah, I see. Would it be any trouble if I allowed him to continue visiting?"
Rai shook her head negatively and that was all Fugaku needed.
He then turned to look at his future daughter-in-law, noting the large smile she direct at him.
Her smile was contagious, he noted, his own lips lifting to smile back.
