"DON'T TOUCH ME! You ain't my big brother no more!." Little Sasuke exclaimed and crossed his little arms.

He was pouting while childishly glared at Itachi, Itachi sigh and was about to soothe Sasuke. "Sasuke, I already told you I'm sorry -"

"You always do this! I hate you!." Sasuke shouted while accusingly pointing his tiny fingers to his big brother.

"Sasuke, don't shout at Itachi. He's still your brother." Mikoto scolded while she at the door, she carefully remove his sandals and put down the groceries she bought.

Itachi immediately offered to carry the plastic bags for her, Mikoto thanked him.

"Come on, Sasuke ... Get dressed we're going somewhere." Mikoto said while he picked Sasuke up.

Before they could leave Itachi there, Sasuke being the brat he is. He childishly stuck his tongue out at his brother, Itachi just sigh and shook his head before walking towards the kitchen to arrange the groceries.

When Sasuke and Mikoto arrive at Sasuke's room, Mikoto ordered him to sit on the bed, she carried him to the bed as his tiny legs can't reach it.

Sasuke is still crossing his arms, his mouth still in a perfect pout while muttering some; stupid Itachi, liar, and somethings Mikoto can't understand.

"Why are you angry at your brother, darling?." Mikoto asked when she finally found some decent clothes for him.

"Arms up."

"He promised me ..." Sasuke whispered and it almost sound like a whine.

"Promise you what?." Mikoto asked while adjusting his shirt making sure her son is not feeling uncomfortable

"He promised to train me! But - But he -." Sasuke didn't continue as tears flows from his eyes.

Mikoto gently wiped the tears away with her thumb.

"So innocent." She thought.

"But he said he was busy?." She continued for him. Sasuke rapidly nodded.

"Sasuke ... Itachi was really on a mission yesterday ... he came late and looked so tired ... He didn't even eat his dinner." Mikoto explain to him.

"Really?." The tyke asked.

"Nii-chan didn't eat his dinner? ... He must be really hungry..." Sasuke whispered.

"Want to serve him his breakfast?." Mikoto ask him, trying to cheer him up.

"Jump down the bed, Sasu. Let's change your pants." Mikoto ordered, her arms was already on standby to catch her son.

Sasuke obeyed again and yelp, while jumping.

"Put your hands on my shoulder so you won't fall, 'kay?." Mikoto instructed while preparing Sasuke's cleaned shorts.

"Okay."

"Now, right leg first." Mikoto instructed, Sasuke put his hand above her mother's shoulder for support. He slowly inserted his right leg inside the short, and put the left leg next.

Mikoto then slide up the short and put him some tiny black belt.

"Mother ... Why am I changing some shorts and t-shirt and not pj's ... Are we going somewhere?." Little Sasuke asked.
