The Life of Itachi's Daughter: Book 1 [UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING]

Chapter One

Itachi's POV

It's been a few days since I came to see my family. However, no matter how much I didn't want to. I had to go back and leave them once again. I knew they were safe otherwise I would not leave them alone to begin with. My teeth grit together hating the idea of leaving.

"Honey, we will be fine. We will wait for you to return to us." Hanahime's voice spoke from behind me. She gently wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

Sighing, I stood up and faced her. Her arms still wrapped around me. I pulled her into a firm hug, burying my face on the curve of her neck. My heart filled with sadness at leaving them.

"I know. I'm just going to miss you. Why don't you come back with me? You can live with me in the Uchiha estate." I asked her, hoping that she would consider the idea.

"Itachi, I love you but I don't want to go back to the hidden leaf. If the hyuga's know I'm still alive and ran away. I'll be sealed with the caged bird. I do not want to be a slave to the main house." Her voice was firm yet fear was hidden.
I looked at her, and sighed. "I know. I just wanted to keep you both close to me. Where I can come straight home to you without having to asks the Hokage to let me leave for a few days."

"Daddy... You're leaving already?" My daughter's voice rang behind me towards the hallway.
I looked over at her. Her silver eyes clear and filled with such loneliness that I wish I didn't have to leave. I wanted to wrap her in my arms and promise that I won't leave but that I was going to stay with her and her mother. But I couldn't make such promises.

"I'm sorry, Mizuki, I have to go back for my missions."

"Then take me with you daddy, please!" Her voice choked as tears rolled down her eyes.
My heart squeezed at her request. I closed my eyes and tapped her forehead with two fingers.

"Listen carefully. You can't come with me. No matter how much I may want you and your mom to. I can't and won't forgive myself if something happened to the both of you." I told her sternly as I stood up and put on my coat. Sazuki walked up to me and placed a kiss on my cheek.

I hugged her once again and kissed her cheek as I pulled away. I walked out of the house without looking back. I could feel Mizuki and Hanahime's gaze on my back. However I continued walking forward, I felt like my heart was breaking into a million pieces. I had to do this. I need to protect my family from the hidden leaf. Even if it meant I was only able to visit them for a few days.

Once I was deep in the forest, I activated my sharingan and raced through the trees.

Mizuki's POV

Dad had left hours ago but mom was still looking out the window in the direction he had left. She was strong but I hated how we were stuck out here while dad was always away at his true home. A home he has to go and defend. I know mom has decided to stay here and wait for dad every time but why couldn't I go back and see the life he was living? I sighed as I quickly went upstairs ignoring mom's glance towards me as she looks back out the window.

I went to her room and found the hidden scrolls of the hyuga clan and went to my room. I sat in the middle of my room as I opened the scrolls. It has information on when one awakens the byakugan and the moves that can be learned with gentle fist... I hope that if I ever awaken the Byakugan or the Sharingan that I could at least make its power my own. The power that comes with it, I want to make it my own.
