Ages: Kagome, Sasuke: 6, Itachi: 12

The main Uchiha family walked back towards their house, though the newest addition was slowly ambling along behind them, feeling depressed for some reason. She had no idea how she knew how to fight, or where she had learned those moves from, and it scared her slightly.

Why couldn't she remember anything?

Kagome blinked her blue eyes as the rain stopped dropping on her head, and looked up. Itachi was now walking beside her, a large umbrella in hand. He held it above both of them; keep them dry from the cold wet rain. She blushed a bit for some reason she didn't even know. "T-thank you, Itachi…" Kagome stuttered a bit, she still felt a little nervous in his presence.

Itachi did not reply, only took small steps to match Kagome's small strides. He looked down at her out of the corner of his dark eyes. He wondered where she would've learned such moves from; it was a rare feat to be that talented at such a young age. He knew that Sasuke was at the top of academy class, and for him to be beaten so easily…

He narrowed his eyes, wondering what village Kagome came from exactly.

Sasuke merely stared at Kagome, though she didn't seem to notice. His face twitched as he resisted the urge to frown, and his dark eyes flashed slightly. How could he be beaten? In front of his father and the Uchiha council? And by a girl no less? It didn't make sense and Sasuke hated riddles. He clenched his hands, not liking the idea of Kagome living with them.

He was already in his brother's shadow, so he had no desire to be in someone else's shadow as well. She wasn't even a born Uchiha! She wouldn't be able to have the Sharingan. Sasuke smirked a bit, already feeling superior knowing that he would one day be able to activate the Sharingan while Kagome couldn't.

The Uchihas arrived at the main house a few moments later, Mikoto coming out to greet them. She went straight for Kagome, eager to hear the results of her test. She kneeled down, having more towels ready to dry off the little girl. "So how did it go?" She asked, smiling gently at the girl.

Kagome blinked, opening her mouth to answer when Fugaku quickly interrupted them. "Mikoto, we need to talk…" The Uchiha clan leader said, grabbing her arm to pull her up and away.

The Uchiha matriarch blinked, wondering what the big deal was. "Alright, dear…" She said hesitantly, smiling one last at Kagome before she was dragged away by her husband.

The trio watched as she was dragged away, no one saying a word. Kagome only shifted nervously, suddenly feeling shy in the boys' presence. She sorta felt embarrassed standing near Sasuke, not knowing what to say to him. She knew he must have feeling some kind of anger towards her for beating him so easily. "A-ano Sasuke—" She started but was suddenly cut off as Sasuke just walked away.

"I'm going to my room." He said in an indifferent voice and Kagome winced slightly, she wanted to make friends with him, but it didn't seem to be going all that well. She just watched him quickly go to his room, her black hair still soaked wet and dripping, making a small puddle on the ground.

Kagome blinked as a large hand suddenly rested on her back, and she looked up at Itachi. He looked back at her with the indifference that she was starting to get used to. It must've been an Uchiha thing. "Go take a bath; you don't need to catch a cold. You'll be starting at the academy tomorrow." He said simply, taking her by the arm to lead her to the bathroom.

"Academy?" Kagome questioned, blinking at the thought of school. She scrunched her face, complicated math equations coming to the forefront of her mind for some reason. She knew one thing for sure, she hated mathematics.

Itachi looked down at her, raising a brow at her curious tone. Did she not know what an academy was? "It is a place where you learn the general rules of being a shinobi." Itachi explained coolly, letting her arm go to kneel down to start running the warm water in the bathtub.

"You mean I'm going to become a shinobi?" Kagome asked in an excited, yet curious and wondering voice. Did that mean she would learn to fight even though she already could?

"Yes, the Uchiha will not tolerate any weakness within the clan." Itachi warned her slightly, narrowing his eyes at the thought of his father. While Kagome seemed to be on Fugaku's good side for now, Itachi knew that could change in an instant. If she proved herself weak within the academy ranks, then Kagome would not be fully considered and acknowledged an Uchiha by the clan. She would still live with them of course, since this was Fugaku's mission to actually take care and observe the girl, but would be considered an outcast if she failed.

He would have to help her then, and Itachi felt the urge to sigh. That would mean he would have to help Sasuke more also, knowing his little brother would be jealous of the attention he would pay to Kagome. Sometimes he thought that Sasuke was just too needy for his own good. It wasn't a good thing either, especially since Sasuke was a male.

Itachi turned the tap off, the bathtub having been filled with warm water. He turned back to Kagome. "I'm sure you know what to do." He said simply, having no desire to watch her bathe. She had proved herself strong so far and he decided that she would be his in the future, but it would be inappropriate to watch her bathe and undress at her young age.

"Okay…" Kagome nodded her head, watching as Itachi walked out of the room and shut the door tight. She quickly undressed herself, jumping in the warm water and sighing contently. She shivered pleasantly, liking the warmth and wishing the water was hotter. She now knew another thing for sure, she really liked hot baths.

The new addition to the Uchiha clan quickly washed her hair and her body of any sweat that may have accumulated from the fight, before just relaxing for a moment, enjoying the water. She stayed in the bath for fifteen more minutes, getting out when the water started to turn chilly. Kagome wrapped a towel around herself, spotting one small problem. She had no change of clothes and didn't really want to change back into the sweaty wife-beater and baggy pants.

She opened the door a notch, feeling kind of embarrassed. She didn't know where her room was and had no desire to walk around the house of mostly males while she was only in a towel. "Mikoto-san!" Kagome called in a semi-loud voice, not wanting to attract any of the males.

The Uchiha matriarch came a moment later, obviously already thinking of Kagome's problem since she was carrying a change of clothes consisting of white shorts and a black high-collared t-shirt. "Here you are, Kagome." Mikoto leaned down to hand the clothing to Kagome. The girl quickly changed into them, blinking as Mikoto smiled widely at her. "You can me mama now." Mikoto said, her obsidian eyes shining. She always did want a daughter and hearing Kagome call her 'mama' would complete the feeling.

"Okay…Mikoto-mama…" Kagome said shyly, blushing and looking down at her toes. She felt happy that Mikoto accepted her so much that she actually asked her to call her mother.

"I have made some dessert…you can have some and then it is bedtime. You are starting at the academy tomorrow morning!" Mikoto said firmly but excitedly. Fugaku had told her that Kagome had some unusual talent, having actually beat Sasuke in a Taijutsu fight. Mikoto sighed at the thought of her youngest son, knowing he was currently sulking in his room because of said fight. She knew that his pride must've been stepped on when he lost in front of Fugaku and the council to a girl.

He would just have to get over it; Kagome was here to stay…hopefully. Mikoto knew it was a bit selfish, but she hoped that the Hokage didn't find Kagome's real parents or village. She wanted to keep Kagome within the Uchiha clan, she could help them strengthen the clan if she really was a miko.

"Come on, let's go have some cake!" Mikoto said, gently tracing the faint scars on Kagome's cheek. No matter how much medical chakra she had put in, the scars would not completely go away. They might just stay there for the rest of Kagome's life.

"Okay!" Kagome said, grabbing Mikoto's hand when she offered it. They walked into the room. Itachi, Sasuke and Fugaku were already seated at the table, slowly eating the cake. Mikoto smiled, she knew that they didn't like sweets but ate whatever she made anyway.

Kagome almost dashed to the open spot beside Itachi, but immediately stopped as she felt Fugaku's stern gaze on her. "Kagome…sit beside Sasuke." He ordered again, they had to get along for his future plan to work. If Kagome really did have potential, then he would engage her to Sasuke. Spiritual grand-children could really boost their clan's strength, much more then those Hyuuga's.

Kagome hesitantly sat down beside Sasuke, who seemed to ignore her. She pouted internally, she really wanted to sit beside Itachi and also because Sasuke didn't seem to like her anymore. "Thank you, Mikoto-mama." Kagome said happily as the dessert was put in front of her. The little miko didn't see how all the males looked at her sharply after calling the Uchiha matriarch 'mama.'

Mikoto only looked at Fugaku firmly after he glanced at her, she didn't care what he thought, she liked the hear 'mama' from the little girl. She watched with happiness as Kagome finished off the food, and got up to clean all the dishes. "Alright, it's time for bed." She said to Sasuke and Kagome. Sasuke only pouted, he wasn't tired at all; he looked at Kagome curiously, wondering where she would sleep.

Fugaku got up immediately after his wife said that, a plan forming in his mind. "Kagome…you'll be sleeping in Sasuke's room." He said, not catching Itachi's sudden death glare.

Mikoto only looked at him, having been informed of Fugaku's little plan. She wasn't sure how she felt about it, since Kagome was (though not officially yet) Sasuke's adopted sister.

Itachi immediately narrowed his eyes, resisting the urge to activate his Sharingan. He was willing to allow Kagome to have a relationship with Sasuke, but as friends and siblings only. His father seemed to think otherwise, and soon he would realize what a mistake he just made.

"O-okay…" Kagome stuttered, she would rather sleep with Itachi in his room. She didn't know she seemed to be so attached to him, but didn't question it. Kagome and Sasuke, who seemed to be staring at her for some reason, followed Fugaku and Mikoto to his room, where there was a second low bed set up already.

"Here are some sleeping clothes." Mikoto said, handing a pair of Sasuke's pyjama's to her. Kagome blinked as she looked at them, noting that they were much bigger than she was, most likely due to her rather small stature. "Good night." Mikoto said, leaning down to kiss her children on the cheek, before walking out the room.

Fugaku simply patted them on their head before following after his wife. Sasuke only stayed silent, crossing his arms and looking away while blushing. He was still s bit mad at her for beating him, but it was starting to disappear as he noticed yet again how cute she really was. He noticed that she had really pretty blue eyes; she was a lot prettier than any girl in his academy class.

"Could you turn around please…?" Kagome asked in a timid voice, shifting the night clothes in her hands. Sasuke only blushed a bit further as he realized that she would be actually sleeping in his clothes.

"Y-yeah…" He replied in a shaky voice, getting his own change of clothing to change into. They both changed quickly, turning off the lights and getting into bed.

"Good night…" Kagome said hesitantly, smiling as she received one in return.

Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.

Itachi stood outside; his Sharingan activated as he threw kunai after kunai into a target board that was nailed to a tree. He was angry, but it didn't show on his pretty face. He simply directed his anger towards the tree.

It was like Fugaku was trying to get a rise out of him, placing Kagome within Sasuke's room.

"Itachi-kun…why are you out here so late?" A voice said suddenly, and Itachi didn't even bother to turn around, having sensed his presence long before he spoke.

"There is no problem, Shisui." Itachi said simply, gathering all his thrown kunai from the tree. "Why are you out here?" He asked, raising a brow in Shisui's direction.

Shisui smirked, his own Sharingan activated. "I just heard that there is a new addition to the Uchiha clan, and that you're her new brother." He said, watching as Itachi narrowed his eyes at him. Shisui raised a brow, what was his problem?

Itachi said nothing, merely pocketed his kunai before walking away, not even bothering to say anything to his closest friend.

Shisui only watched him go, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly. He sighed, before disappearing in a flicker. The job he was given was tiring, spying on Itachi and how his behaviour was changing.

He had much to report to Fugaku.

"Time to wake up!" Mikoto's voice cheerfully said, shaking Sasuke and Kagome. Sasuke merely groaned and turned over to his side, not wanting to get up. Kagome, on the other hand, sprung up excited to go to the academy for the first time.

Kagome smiled excitedly, quickly grabbing the change of clothes out of Mikoto's arms, and running towards the bathroom to wash up. The clothing was simple, white shorts, a high-collar black shirt and bandages that wrapped around her calves.

She quickly washed up, and headed to the main room to get some breakfast. She passed Sasuke on the way, who was wearing identical clothing to hers, except his was a long-sleeved shirt while hers was short-sleeved.

"Itachi!" She said excitedly, sitting down beside at the low table. "Good morning!" She said cheerfully, smiling as Mikoto put a plate of food of front of her. "Thank you, Mikoto-mama."

Itachi merely nodded to her, watching as Sasuke slowly came from the bathroom. He sat down, and Itachi almost smirked as he looked towards him with slight jealousy.

Kagome and Sasuke quickly ate their breakfast, getting up as Fugaku stood up slowly, obviously intending to take them to the academy.

"Let's go." He said simply, Kagome eagerly following him while Sasuke only shoved his hands into his pockets and followed at a leisure pace.

They walked with silence, that is, until Kagome ran into something, too eager to watch where she was going.

"Hey!" A voice called out, and Kagome looked up with her blue eyes. She blinked, feeling shivers all over her body.

She stared at wild blond hair, whiskered cheeks, and eyes that were as blue as her own.
