"Remember Itachi this is your responsibility, for this family and for our entire Uchiha clan," Fugaku said in his usual stern voice, a strict look on his face. The entire family is sitting on the floor Indian style on a low table before them. All dressed in traditional kimonos as it is customed to every Uchiha to wear one. Itachi is sitting next to Sasuke and Fugaku is sitting next to his wife Mikoto Uchiha.
Itachi sighed for the hundred time a frown on his face. He did not agree with this discussion at all. He did not agree that his parents should choose a bride for him. He did not want this at all. He knows that his father has a reputation to keep and that the Uchiha clan should keep shriving and growing but that doesn't mean that his father has a right to choose a bride for him.
"I understand father, but I don't want you to choose a wife for me. I'm more than capable of choosing a wife for myself," Itachi said in an even voice, his face not portraying any emotions.
"Oh honey, we are just doing this because it's tradition. And you are our first son, it's going to be your responsibility one day to take over as clan leader. We only ask you to follow this rules, everyone in the Uchiha clan is expecting you to take a wife," Mikoto said in her soft motherly voice a small smile on her beautiful face.
"And this is the General's daughter we are talking about. We cannot say no to this marriage from happening Itachi. Let's not disappoint our guests tomorrow or embarrass ourselves. This is a big opportunity for us, do not let us down. You are both dismissed," Fugaku said strictly, both Itachi and Sasuke got and up and bowed towards the Lord and Lady of the Uchiha clan. They both walked towards the exit and put on their sandals by the door.
They walked down the patio of the Uchiha compound heading towards their rooms. There was silence between them as they walked, a soft cool breeze blowing against their black locks. Itachi reached his room first and he was about to go inside but Sasuke stopped him.
"Hey, you know you have to fill your responsibilities around here someday Itachi," Sasuke said in a monotone voice, his stoic face not betraying anything. Itachi turned around to look at his younger brother with a frown on his face.
"That's easy for you to say, you're not in my position right now. Mother and Father are not pressuring you to marry someone you don't love," Itachi said a little annoyed with his little brother right now.
"Nobody said being the Lords son would be a breeze Itachi. Father is only looking for the best interest for our clan and you objecting to him is not helping. If I were you, I would do as I was told. Start acting like an adult Itachi," Sasuke said a deep frown on his face and continued to his room.
Itachi just shook his head and went inside his room. Sasuke doesn't know what he's talking about. Itachi knows that he has been seeking his father's approval for years now, even though Sasuke has done many things to become stronger and to enhance his powers and abilities, Fugaku still turns a blind eye toward Sasuke and never recognizes him.
Itachi sighed and decides to just go to sleep. He would think of a solution later. He would make sure that this wedding does not happen.
