Third person POV

"Aniki, mommy and daddy brought home a present for you!" A young sasuke squeels as he races into his brothers room, running in circles happily. Said "Aniki" put down the book he was currently reading, and smiled softly at his otouto. "Come on Ita! Come on!" Sasuke cheers as he grabs Itachi's hand, pulling him out of his bedroom and down the stairs where the duo's parents waited.

Sasuke smiled up at Itachi as they reached the bottom of the stairs. "See?! Told you Aniki! Mommy can we open it now that brothers here?" Sasuke asked excitedly pulling Itachi over to where their father was holding a rather large box with holes in the top. Itachi peered quizzically at the large box, what in the world could they have gotten?

"Of course sasuke." Mikoto said softly laughing at her sons impatience. She nodded to Fugaku, and he set the box down on the dining room table and opened up the top. An aggervated whine was hear from within the box. Itachis eyes widened as his father pulled out a small white bundle of fur, who was still partially trying to wake up, as it gave a tiny cute yawn.

As fugaku handed it to Itachi, not quite trusting his younger son who was running around in circles yelling about how cute it was with the fragile bundle of fur, I think even sasuke noticed the gasp and softening of Itachi's eyes as the small wolf pup opened its exotic, mismatched eyes. Onxy eyes stared into gold, and ice blue ones, and immediantly an unbreakable bond was formed.

The small wolf pup whipped its tail back and forth in joy as it rubbed it's face all over Itachi's neck and face, yipping happily. I think that was one of the few, and rare times Itachi had laughed freely around his parents. Mikoto and Fugaku's eyes softened at the elder uchiha son, who always had an indifferent and serious look on his face, as he finally laughed out of pure happiness.

They were glad they had not refused the offer that the wealthy traveler had given them. They almost had from the strange and sudden offer given by an unfamiliar stranger, but thought that maybe just maybe it could brighten the stressed filled life of their son. Also the fact that the traveler had told them what the wolf truly was, almost nearly had them refusing. But after they had each held the small female pup, they both fell in love and just had to take her home.

The immediant bond that was clear as day, was shocking to say the least. The traveler had said how much of an attitude this pup had, and that was exactly why no one had wanted her yet. She was defiant, head strong, and did what she wanted. She was also the smallest, yet most beautiful wolf that they had ever seen, even as a pup.

 Although as what the traveler told them crossed their minds, they realized why that bond had came so quickly. Itachi was the pups mate. The smirked mischieviously at eachother, as they also remembered that she was not just a simple wolf.

"Itachi dear, there is something you need to know about that little wolf." Mikoto told him with a closed eye smile, as the pup was sitting on top of itachi's head playing with his hair. Itachi grabbed the pup from his head and set it on it's shoulder as his smile drops slightly. "Yes mother?" He asked trying to hide the emotion of happiness he just felt from coming out in his voice.

"She is not just a wolf, she actually is not from this world. She is from the heavens. Somehow, a few of them ended up here, they are actually used as companions for the gods." Fugaku told his son as sasuke gasped and said how cool that was. Itachi's eyes were wide as his mother continued with a knowing smile on her face.

"When she come's of age in a couple of years, she will be able to transorm into a human, although her tail and ears will remain. You need to be prepared for that moment, beacuse it will be very painful for her. Also I'm sure we've all noticed how attracted to you she is, well that is because she has marked you as her companion, or mate. She can also understand everything we say, so have fun!" Mikoto finishes childishly as she grabs her husbands hand and leaves the room.

Itachi's stares down at the beautiful wolf who hand crawled into his arms with wide eyes. He knew very well what the term "mate" meant to animals, especially wolves. His doubt and shock faded away though as soon as she let out a little yip and presses her head against his chest, snuggling into him.

Well, this was going to be interesting.
