CHAPTER 10

"I don't know what's wrong with him Shisui, he hasn't talked or done anything much since he came home. He wouldn't even look after Sasuke for me." Mrs Uchiha said, looking worriedly at a younger man.

Shisui sighed, eyebrows furrowed as they looked from the front porch to a small training ground in the distance that Itachi currently occupied.

"I'll go see him before my mission and see what the problem is this time." Shisui said softly.

"I think it's to do with Fugaku – "

"What about?" Shisui interrupted, looking alarmed slightly.

"That Higurashi girl." She replied with a harsh tone. Shisui looked at her with slight confusion to her sudden venom.

"I see...."

"'It's not wise for him to be around her', that's Fugaku's words."

Shisui nodded slowly and left Itachi's mother, wandering over to where Itachi occupied.

Staring at a bee on flower, Itachi failed to notice someone approach, even the loud steps Shisui took to gather his attention.

'Man, he's really out of it isn't he?' Shisui thought with surprise.

"Itachi-chan!" Shisui called, coming to a stop to Itachi's side. There was no reaction other than a slight flinch. Shisui's smile fell slightly.

"Neh? What's up wit' you?" he asked, taking a seat next to Itachi on a log.

Itachi only gazed at Shisui briefly before focusing back upon the bee on the flower.

"Hey....come on, what's with the no talky?" Shisui poked Itachi's shoulder, successfully getting a grunt from the little boy.

"Nothing." Itachi said simply. Shisui raised an eyebrow, not even close to believing.

"Yeah yeah, and I'm secretly gay." Shisui rolled his eyes and then noticed a shocked and half-disturbed look on Itachi's face. He laughed waving a hand at Itachi.

"No, no. It was a joke," he said through his laughter, Itachi could be too serious some times.

"I thought you were finally admitting the truth just then." Itachi responded after a moment's time, a small smile appeared on his face before quickly disappearing in a blink of an eye.

"Hey there we go; there was something there for a moment!" Shisui said cheerfully but immediately lost it as he stared at Itachi with blank eyes.

"Is it to do with Kagome?" he asked seriously. Itachi flinched and stared to the side.

"So it is." Shisui said softly. "Because of your father."

"No.....not exactly." Itachi admitted, and turned to make eye contact with Shisui.

"I stopped seeing her because I didn't want father to do anything mean....but....but...I was too late to help her." Itachi said through his thoughts, gripping his knees tightly.

'Is...He...crying?' Shisui thought, looking with wide eyes at the forming extra wetness in Itachi's eyes.

"W-what happened to Kagome?" Shisui asked, confused. Itachi turned his face away.

"The Hyuuga boy again but he went too far, I don't know what his problem is with her, she hasn't told me anything yet." Itachi said coldly through his sudden sniffles. Shisui's own eyes narrowed.

"I'm having a word with the leader Hyuuga then. This is being taken too far Itachi; I thought you were able to stop this?"

"I thought I could...." Itachi snapped, slamming his small fist into the log.

"All the Uchiha face these problems Itachi, not everyone fears the Uchiha power, such as the Hyuuga's for example." Shisui said with a small venomous strand in his words.

"I don't want to use my own power against anyone. I only did it to protect her...." Itachi reasoned softly. Shisui looked at him for a few moments.

"This is an era of war Itachi; we must be prepared to use our strengths against people even if we do not like it."Shisui said, "It is also the reputation of Uchiha you know, and you have the potienal to be one of the most powerful Uchiha's in our clan. You don't want to show them any weakness, it can lead to your downfall." Itachi having enough of Shisui's lecture stood up.

"You're almost using the same words as father. Kagome isn't a weakness." Itachi said venomously.

"I didn't mean it to be like that Itachi; I meant your compassion can be a weakness if you do not use it right." Shisui explained. Easing himself slightly, Itachi still glared at him but this time he gave up the argument and turned away.

"There's more important things than to fight." He said quietly.

"Like what....?" Shisui asked blankly, Itachi sighed exasperated.

"Kagome."

"Oh." Shisui said and then his face lit up with worry. "OH. Kagome, you said she was hurt, is she ok? You said she was hurt badly didn't you?"

"She's in hospital." Itachi murmured. Shisui's face dropped.

"WHAT?!" He yelled, so loud, that birds fled the nearby trees. "I didn't think it was this bad, Itachi! Why didn't you tell me?" Shisui lectured, shaking Itachi's shoulders.

"Shisui-kun." a female voice interrupted them; Shisui immediately stopped shaking Itachi but never moved, much to Itachi's dislike.

"Huh-wha...?" he said blankly. Then as he stared at the woman in Chunin clothes and he realised who it was.

"OH Kiari-san! Our mission! I forgot!" he said frantically, the woman chuckled, a small blush rising on her cheeks.

"I noticed," she smiled, "But we have to go now, we're meeting the others outside."

Shisui nodded and turned to Itachi, "You know what, as much as I respect Fugaku-san, here's some money, go buy Kagome something nice for me!" he said, un-pocketing some change and giving it to Itachi.

Itachi was too late to say his dislike for him to leave suddenly but knew he'd have no say in the matter. he sighed and sat down, he really needed someone to talk to right now but the only person he could talk to was gone. And his little brother wouldn't even understand any of the words he said.

There was a mix of feelings inside him that was slowly driving him crazy, he never felt so emotional when he saw Kagome in the hospital, he felt so helpless for her, and he was racked with guilt for not being there, it was his responsibility he was sure of. He had witnessed many deaths from the year his brother was born but if the girl he grew on had....he didn't know what he'd do.

A tear dropped to the ground before Itachi stood and walked away from the Uchiha district. 'Sometimes fathers aren't always right in what they say,' he reasoned on his way,' Kagome isn't someone who will betray a person.'

He entered a flower shop and eyed their flowers, a woman was busily bustling around the back while a small blonde haired toddler played in a children's pen. The toddler looked up as Itachi passed by her play area to look at more flowers. Her light blue eyes followed everywhere he went, staring at him in awe.

"May I help you there dear?" the lady from the back asked, looking at him curiously. Most likely surprised to see an Uchiha in her store.

"I'm after some flowers." He said.

The woman let her eyes flow around the room before bring it back to the boy, "I see," she smiled, "any particular kind?"

"It's for someone in hospital."

"Ah. Then these are a perfect kind" she motioned to the left of herself, where a shelf of flowers stood.

"I'll take 6." Itachi pulled out his wallet where he put Shisui's change in and then stared towards a flower on his right.

It was a multi-coloured rose, Red and white pedals, he didn't know why but he grabbed his extra change and said, "And that rose."

"Ah, that rose, extremely rare. I haven't seen this type of rose since I started working this store a few years ago." The woman said softly, her blue eyes softening.

Paying for the items, Itachi grabbed them and headed towards the hospital at a fast pace, not liking the looks of the girl's faces as he passed by.

He made it to the front desk quickly where an older woman smiled at him, "Can I help you young man?"

"I came to see Kagome Higurashi." He said. The woman turned back to her files and looked back at him sympathetically.

"I'm sorry, but she's still in critical care. She is not allowed any visitors."

"Is she any better?" Itachi asked hopefully. The woman softened her eyes at him, growing more sympathetic.

"Don't worry, she'll be ok soon, she's just needed a lot of our attention." She said overly positive.

'I'm not a kid. And I'm not that stupid!' Itachi growled in his head.

"Fine, can I leave these here?" he asked. The woman nodded, taking the items with her smile planted on her face.

"I'm sure she will wake up soon for you to visit her." She told him happily before leaving.

"Itachi-chan?" a familiar voice gathered his attention; he turned to see a familiar face to Kagome's.

"Mrs Higurashi." He said in greeting.

"Was it you who brought my little girl here?" she asked, wiping her swollen eyes. She saw Itachi nod and gave him a hug.

"Thank you so much, you don't know how great full I am, she could have died without you there to help her."

"That's not true..." Itachi disagreed. Kagome's mother stopped for a moment, letting go of him to stare at him better.

"Oh dear, you don't blame yourself for what has happened do you, it isn't your fault Itachi." She told him harshly, "that boy, do you know, he has liked her since they were both toddlers together."

Itachi looked at her with wide-eyes, this wasn't the sort of information he'd hear about Resu, she continued, noting his surprise, "his mother and I were once on good terms and she'd bring young Resu around and he'd follow my little girl everywhere."

"And then... a few years after my son's birth," Mrs Higurashi continued, her face falling, "Kagome's father and Resu's father were caught up in the war against the Nine-tails, they both died that day... and Resu's mother wont forgive my husband and us for that night."

"But that wasn't your fault." Itachi said with a confused expression, Mrs Higurashi smiled and nodded.

"Some people need something to blame on, it just happens to be us... poor Resu has been listening and following whatever his mother says even if he hates it, I think he still likes Kagome deep down."

"So he tries to show it by abusing her?" Itachi said, she nodded, "that's not right."

"But it would be the only way he could be near her wouldn't it?" Mrs Higurashi reasoned with the boy. Smiling at how intelligent he was for his age.

"Yes....but then why did he take it so far?" Itachi suggested, not understanding.

"That I don't even know." Mrs Higurashi answered with sadness.

I realise sometime in a previous chapter i made Mrs Higurashi not know who the tormentor was, sorry about that, but it will be changed with my editing of chapters soon. xP
