Breaking Faith | Hatake Kakashi

Chapter 34 ~ September 13th

(A/N: That is the date)

"Hello, Sasuke.." Itachi cooed, his expression warm as he stared down at the bundle in his arms.

Rieka couldn't help but smile at the sight, watching peacefully as the Uchiha clutched his newly born brother tightly, his eyes occasionally darting around for the closest sign of danger.

Rieka chuckled, "Calm down, Ita. No one is going to hurt Sasuke." She insured the boy, climbing up from her spot and treading over towards the pair.

Itachi looked up to her, "How can you be so sure?"

She shook her head in disbelief, knelling down beside Uchiha brothers with a smile, "Because I won't let them."

Itachi nodded, turning his attention back to the infant, Rieka followed his gaze. Though she knew he would soon grow up to be, Rieka couldn't help but notice how un-cute the new born Uchiha was, especially when you compared him to Itachi who was unbelievable adorable when he was first born.

"Hey.." Rieka began, looking around her for a certain brunette. "Where is Shisui?"

Just as the words left her lips, the brown headed Uchiha appeared from behind the door. "Miss me already, Rieka-Nee?" 

Rieka rolled her eyes, "I wish I hadn't asked.." She muttered, turning back to Sasuke who let out a soft giggle, which only came out as a strange gargling noise.

Itachi found this utterly adorable, smiling fondly as he hugged him tighter, Sasuke clutching Itachi's pinky in his grip. Shisui made his way over, poking his head over the pairs to get a quick look at the baby.

"Is that him?" Shisui asked, Itachi nodded.

"He isn't very cute." 

Itachi's smile vanished, replaced by a look of horror.

"Yeah." Rieka nodded, "I gotta agree with Shisui for once.. Sasuke isn't that cute.."

Shisui ignored the backhanded insult, a smirk curling up on his lips as Itachi looked between the pair in disgust before jumping to his feet and running off with the infant. Rieka watched as the toddler trotted away, determined to escape the two.

"Whats wrong with him?" Shisui asked, taking a seat beside Rieka.

She shrugged her shoulders, "Its most likely the mother bird in him, telling him to take flight with his youngling."

Shisui stifled a laugh, sharing a smirk with Rieka before she asked, "How old are you now? Its been awhile.."

"Eight, I just started at the Academy a few months ago." Shisui announced proudly, his chest pumped out as he grinned.

"Wait, you weren't already?" Rieka asked.

"Nope." Shisui shook his head. "Dad wouldn't let me."

"He said I wasn't ready." He added quickly, noticing the rising suspicion.

"How are you doing?" She asked, curiosity seeping through her words.

He shrugged, "I've been doing alright.. mainly working on my Genjutsu but thats just with dad."

"Genjutsu?" Rieka repeated, "But thats third year stuff.."

Shisui nodded, "Yeah but ever since I awakened my Mangekyō Sharingan they-"

"Wait! You awakened you Mangekyō Sharingan?! I didn't even know you had the Sharingan!" Rieka narrowed her eyes, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Shisui looked surprised, "I didn't? Huh, guess I forgot.."
