Beware of cuteness

While I was walking towards Itachi's home, I saw a family of 3-- A mother, father, and two kids. I smiled at the sight, knowing that I'll be an older sibling in a few months, well, that's what I was told. Now that I think about it, I'd have to throw my life away to protect them...

That's what I'm willing to do.

--Chapter 4--

I found myself at the steps of Itachi's home and smiled softly. I called for him and he opened the door, which was expected. Though his face was stoic, he seemed to have a happy aura around him. I smiled brightly at the sight.

"So, Ita-kun, why are you so happy?" I asked, amused. He shrugged and smiled faintly at me.

"Reasons. Why are you so happy?" Itachi replied.

"Well, if I tell you, would you tell me why your happy?" I asked, again.

"Sure, but let's go to the training grounds first." Itachi said, carrying a bag on his back. 

'Probably the tools.'

We were walking to the training grounds with complete silence. Not that I didn't mind. It was a comfortable silence. All the times that me and Itachi don't talk, it felt relaxing, but somewhat lonely. If the silence lasts too long, I get bored and sad, considering that I wouldn't be able to hear his voice.  

We made it to the training grounds, training ground 3 to be specific. I looked around, smiling. This was where my life of a kunoichi begins! I will protect my sister, I will.

"Ita-kun, what are we working on first?" I asked. He hummed then replied.

"Kunai and shuriken. After you accomplish that, you can start on chakra control." 

"So, want to hear why I'm so happy now?" I asked, suddenly. He turned to face me right after he put down his bag and emptied it's contents. He said nothing, motioning me to go on.

"Well, I got something to protect now that I'm going to be a kunoichi." I smiled softly while looking at the sky. Itachi first thought I meant my parents then realized what I meant.

"You're... You're getting a younger sibling?" Itachi asked.

"Yeah... Okaa-san and Otou-san were waiting for me yesterday and told me I was going to be a big sister. I'm happy about that." I gave Itachi a bright smile.

"Why are you happy?" I asked, finally. He gave out a sigh and gave a smile that always gives me chills-- in a good way.

"I guess it's the same with you. I have something to protect again." Itachi stated. 

"You're going to be a older sibling, too?!" I say, shocked. He only nodded as a reply. 

"That means both our siblings will be the same age as each other!" The silence forms once more, but even more comforting than before. Itachi broke he silence. 

"Let's start training." 

--Time Skip--

I was on the ground with my four limbs spread out, panting heavily. I just got finished with training kunai throwing. Itachi set a rule like this:

Make 10 kunai hit bulls-eye. If you miss on the third bulls-eye, you restart.

I restarted so many times that I lost count. It was already sundown and it seemed like I didn't have time to start the shuriken practice. Itachi looked at me and put a hand out. I grabbed it with no hesitation. 

"Ita-kun~ You didn't say it'd be this hard!" I complained. He shrugged in response.

"Being a shinobi/kunoichi is hard. You risk your lives everyday--once you become one, you can't get out." He said simply.

"Are you in the academy yet? I'm joining soon, Okaa-san said." I informed, changing the topic. Itachi looked at me then looked at the stars. 

"Hn. Otou-san said I have to... I'm the heir of the Uchiha clan, it's required." Itachi said, sadly. I nod in respect, knowing that Fugaki-oji isn't the best father. I pitied Itachi since he seemed like he was way older than me. I was older than him by a month, though. 

"When is your sibling being born? Mine's going to be around July." Itachi changed the subject, again. I shrugged this time.

"Okaa-san didn't say."

"Hn."

"Itachi..." I start, using his name. He looked at me and saw my sad eyes glued to the stars.

"Yes?"

"Would you risk everything for your otouto/imouto?" I ask. He looked at the stars also and smile softly.

"Yes, I'll protect them with my life, even if it means to give away everything."

"I would, too. It scares me now that I think about it... But I will protect them. It's now a promise I'll make." I looked at him with determination.

"If anything happens to me, Itachi, please protect them. Promise me that." I looked at him with fire burning my eyes. He looked shocked and then nodded.

"I promise. Now, If something happens to me, protect them, Akiko." Itachi said.

"Hm!" I hummed in response.

"Let's do a blood promise." I suggested. He looked even more shocked, but in a few seconds, he nodded, again.

I grabbed a kunai and cut my palm. I winced at the pain, but I brushed it off. Itachi did the same and we shook hands.

"I promise." We chorused. 

Tears welled up in my eyes, pain now getting to me.

"A-ah! Ita-Ita-kun!" I whimper, becoming to my weak self again. He panicked and grabbed a role of gauze. He disinfected my hand, which hurt. Then he wrapped gauze around my hand carefully, not causing me harm. He chuckled.

"This is why we should've made a different promise." He teased.

"B-But it wouldn't be as serious!" I whined. "Finish taping my hand, please!"

He finished taping my hand and gave a kiss over the gauze where my wound was. I flushed in embarrassment when he pulled away from my hand. I grabbed the disinfectant and poured it on his wound softly, which caused him to wince. After that, I did the same thing-- wrapped his hand in gauze. I decided to give his wound a kiss, too. I place my lips over the gauze, which was over his wound. He looked at me in amusement, but still flushed. I pulled away and gave him a bright smile.

"Let's go home, Itachi." 

That one statement caused Itachi's heart to beat rapidly that it made his chest hurt.

He gave me a smile in return, which made my heart flutter also. 

Itachi offered me to stay at his house since my house was a far walk, well, that was an exuse. I agreed and we started to head to his home.  When we reached his home, Mikoto-san was already in her room while Fugaku-oji was out at the police headquarters. We walked into his room and he plopped himself on the bed.

"Ita-kun, can I take a shower? I feel dirty..." I ask. He gained a light blush, but it disappeared.

"Yes, I'll give you a shirt and shorts of mine." He agreed. I nodded and made my way to the bathroom. I started to strip and when I was done, I heard a knock.

"The clothes are in front of the door. I'll make some food, it'll be done when you get out." Itachi informed.

I opened the door and saw the clothes. I took it and held the shirt in front of me. It was big and went down to my knees-- almost like a T-shirt dress. 

I started the shower and washed my self then got finished. I dried my hair and dried my body. I found the brush he had and started to brush my hair's tangles. After that was done, I put on the shirt and shorts, the undergarments he gave me were my own. I left clothes here since Mikoto-san suggested it, also because I'm here half the time. I hope he didn't feel awkward picking it out.

I walked out the bathroom and smelt something cooking. Itachi is like a cooking god. 

He IS a god.

1.) He's a genius

2.) 5 years old and is already perfect on the basics.

3.) He can cook.

4.) He is nice

5.) Looks of a god

I walked into the kitchen and saw the boy in an apron cooking something. I smiled and walked over to the table and sat down. The table was full of meals and I didn't bother touching them, regardless on how good it looked and smelt.

"You look cute wearing that." I commented. He was still cooking and his cheeks were red. Huh. Whatever he was cooking, he got done with it. He placed it onto a plate and took over to the table. 

The table was now officially full. I chuckled then he did, too. 

"I went a little overboard, didn't I?" Itachi asked to no one in particular.

"A little, huh?" I chuckled.

"Well, let's eat."

--Time Skip ft. episode 481--

I was stuffed. All that food was good, but too much. Itachi at the same amount as me, too. Itachi sat himself on the bed and pat the spot next to it. I smiled and sat next to him.

"Sleep." He ordered.

"Ok."

We laid down and I snuggled against him.

"Please don't leave me, Itachi." I selfishly say.

"I'd never." Itachi put his arm around me and smiled softly, liking the situation.

"Would you leave me to keep me safe though?" I ask.

"..."

"..."

"...Yes." Itachi hesitantly replied.

"If you do, at least send me letters." I snuggled closer.

"I would." He wrapped his arm around me tighter.

"Hm~ Goodnight, Ita-kun." I say sleepily.

"Goodnight, Aki." He says, eyes getting droopy.

--Bonus--

"Omg! They're so cute!" A voice squealed, quietly (impossible!).

"Why is she even here." Someone asked, eye twitching.

"Don't be so grumpy, Fugaku!" The voice scolded. A sigh escaped Fugaku.

"At least it's Akiko that he's with. Mikoto, let's leave them be." Fugaku said.

"Awe! You agree that she should be with him! Let me take a picture of them first!" Mikoto squealed.

Itachi and Akiko were snuggled up and hugging one another on the bed. Itachi had one of his arms around her waist and the other on the back of her head, pulling her into his chest. Akiko had her arms on his chest and was completely snuggled into him. To top it all off, a blanket was on the two.

The sight was picture perfect. Right when Mikoto took a picture, Itachi's eyes shot opened. 

"Please, get out." Itachi said, a little darkly. His onyx eyes clashed with Mikoto's onyx eyes. She squeaked.

"Don't do anything too bad! You two are 5 years old!"

Itachi flushed and pulled Akiko closer to him.

--CHAPTER END--

Word count-1757

Date- 12/3/16

This felt like a filler chapter. The calm before the storm~ 

Well, this chapter had a ton of fluff. 

Also, the age Sasuke and the rookies are born changed a lil' so the two would be closer together.

P.S: 5 year olds get more action than me.
