Children say the Darnedest Things.
Itachi didn't like many things in life, in fact there was little that he really did like. He didn't really like fighting…. he was just good at it, or how he was used as a tool for his family. He didn't like his father, or how much pressure the older male put on him.
He kind of liked Shisui but he was rather annoying, he might like Sasuke more, if he didn't cried so much, even though he was still an infant, Hana's little brother Kiba didn't cry nearly so much.
All in all, there just wasn't much that he liked about his life, at the age of six he found that many people bored him, and what he would like to do he was rarely allowed to. So most of the time he just looked at life with a sullen indifferent face and put up with the lot he was dealt.
Outside of the manor practicing throwing his kunai's one afternoon this was how his mother found him to introduce him to his bride to be… well bride to be, in about thirteen or so years. He watched as his mother and another lady, Higurashi-sama, if he remembered correctly brought out a little girl that could pass for Uchiha except for her amazing blue eyes.
She was scowling darkly as her mother pressed her forward and Itachi vaguely wondered if she was a fan girl. He didn't like them either. She was kind of cute, but he was certain that it was all an act and he wouldn't like her in the end. He didn't get his hopes up.
He watched with veiled annoyance as the adults left them to "play," which Itachi thought was ridiculous because he didn't even remember the last time he 'played' with anything. Sighing inwardly, he decided that he didn't like girls at all, and for the most part he'd just deal her later, like when they were married.
Until then he'd just ignore her.
Keeping that in mind and paying her no more attention he once again continued throwing his kunai and only a few moments later was kind of shocked when another kunai hit the same mark he was throwing at just as well. He stopped what he was doing an looked incredulously at the girl.
He watched as she with a form as perfect as his own, threw the weapon, and for a time they just practiced together. He didn't mind this so much, he thought, and eventually he was the one that broke down first, "Itachi." he stated.
"Kagome." she answered. She was to the point, he liked that, and again they continued to practice.
It was about an hour later when Fugaku got home from work seeing Higurashi-san, and his wife drinking tea and talking bout how lovely their future grandbabies would be, that he thought to find the small children. Even if Itachi at age six was a prodigy, and the Higurashi was five and an up-and-coming prodigy, it was getting late.
He thought first to look in the boy's room, and did not find them there, he knew they were not in the kitchen, so he figured they had to be out on the grounds some where. He knew his son well enough so it was the training grounds he headed to first. With night encroaching soon, he wanted to get them home.
He was caught off guard though when he got closer towards his destination, almost tripping when he heard his eldest son say as he came closer to the training grounds, "I'll show you mine, if you show me yours." and he did fall when he heard the replay of 'Ok.'
His adult mind working overtime, trying to protect the small bit of innocence his son and the young Higurashi might have, when he was nearly hit with a fireball jutsu. He managed to duck out of the way as a second and larger one came his direction. The Uchiha head growled to himself but couldn't only sigh when he heard the little girl pouting about how his son's was bigger…
Of course, they were only a six year old and a five year old. They wouldn't be talking about seeing THOSE things until much later… he hoped.
