"Yes. We are going to the festival! Konoha annually celebrate the Kitsune Festival! Exactly three years ago, the Lord Fourth defeated a beast that attacked our Village." Mikoto explained, but her voice was somewhat sad.

She immediately tried changing the sudden sad atmosphere, "All of us are going! Your father, Itachi, me and you!." Mikoto said while standing up.

Sasuke hold his mother's hand while walking back to the living room, "Let's make some breakfast, will you help me Sasuke?." Mikoto asked him.

Sasuke immediately agreed and make a grabby hands towards his mother and say, "Carry!."

"Call your father and big brother. While I set the plates."

"Okay!."

Sasuke ran fast with his tiny legs, he almost trip when he reach his parent's room, "Father! Open up! Breakfast is ready!." Sasuke shouted while rapidly knocking.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm awake!." A deep voice shouted back from the other side of the door.

Sasuke stopped and started to ran to Itachi's room, "Now, apologizing to nii-chan." Sasuke whispered to himself. He stand infront of Itachi's room, suddenly hesitating.

Warily, Sasuke slowly knocked on the wooden door, patiently waiting for his brother's response.

"I'm sleeping, Mom ... Eat breakfast without me." Itachi shouted, he sounded tired. "Nii-chan, it's me ..." Sasuke weakly said, he got no response from Itachi. He thought Itachi didn't heard him.

He was contemplating if he should knock again, Sasuke gave up and was about to walk away. When he heard some loud muffled footsteps.

"Sasuke? What're you doing here? ... Look, I'm sorry I forgot about you, it's just that - "

Itachi didn't finish his talking when Sasuke literally throw himself to him, tightly hugging Itachi's waist.

"Sorry, Nii-chan ... I was just disappointed ..." Sasuke whispered, burying his face on Itachi's stomach, too embarrassed to show his face.

Itachi was surprised at Sasuke's actions, but patted Sasuke's head in the end. A slight smile on his lips, "It's okay, otouto. I'm sorry too." Itachi said whilst combing Sasuke's hair with his fingers.

"You ... forgive me? ..." Sasuke asked looking down at his feet, Itachi just poke him on the forehead like he always do.

"Of course ... You know that I could never be mad at you." Itachi said, as both of them giggle at the situation they were in.

"You guys finished yet? Mikoto asked me to fetch the both of you."

"Honey, are sure you won't come with us?." Mikoto sadly asked her husband.

Fugaku sighed and sip on his coffee, he was currently reading his newspaper when his wife decided to go shopping and won't stop convincing him to come with them, "I'm really not in the mood. I'm just gonna stay home while the three of you three go." He said.

Mikoto inwardly whine as she knows she failed on convincing his husband. She only managed to convince her eldest son when she promised him to buy him new set of Kunais.

While, Sasuke ... She promised him that they will buy some freshly picked tomatoes.

"Come on boys, we need to hurry or I won't be able to buy some beautiful kimonos!." She said.

Once they arrive at the store, Itachi and Sasuke refused to come inside and just reasoned that they will wait outside.

"I really can't understand Mother ... Can't she just wear the Kimono she wear last year?." Sasuke said.
