I Got Hots For My Rival~ Itachi Modern AU [NWA Winter'14 1st Place] REVISED

Chapter 3

~

~Anna's POV~

"MIKOTO-SAN!!"

There was a few seconds interval where she squinted her eyes a little and concentrated then all of a sudden her face also held the same joyous expressions mine did.

"Ah little Ann!!" She exclaimed and hugged me while laughing then patted my back and closed the door behind me. "Oh how nice to see you again."

"And what a wonderful coincidence too! I mean, who would have thought right?!" It was hard containing all that happiness, hence my non-stop grin.

Mikoto-san nodded and took the stew bowl from me and smiled yet again.

"Oh my did you make this?" She asked astonished.

"Mmhmm!"

"How much you have grown! Come one have a seat! I am dying to talk to you!" I only laughed with her because words failed me at such a reunion.

Once I was seated in the living room with my brothers, they all started introducing themselves. First Tim, then Eric and lastly Max, who was also hugged because he was the latest addition to the family.

"As much as I would love talking to you non-stop, you must meet the siblings first." Mikoto-san said and left giggling.

Siblings... Does it mean Ita-

"Anna explain." Tim demanded and broke my thoughts.

"Oh right. Remember when we were in America and mum sent me to this scouts training in hopes I would make some 'girlfriends'?" Tim and Eric nodded. Max shook his head, he wasn't born yet. I was ten then. "Well, Mikoto-san had her son enrolled as well and we kind of became friends considering they were from Japan too so yeah. Oh! And we both went to school there too for three years before they shifted back here." I explained.

"This does ring some bells." Eric wondered.

"So her son..." Tim started. I knew where this was going. "He was the same age as you? Same grade? Same-?"

"Stop yourself please. He was just my rival and I-"

"She beat him at everything. The only girl to ever gain attention from him." Mikoto-san appeared back and sighed sadly. " Too bad it was just as a rival."

"I wouldn't want it any other way Mikoto-san." I answered smiling. She beamed when there were footsteps descending the stairs and two people appeared in the living room. Two boys to be exact.

"Now boys, introduce yourselves." Their mother told them.

"I am Sasuke. Its good to make your acquaintance." The younger one said with a little bow. Such perfect manners. Wow.

Then it was the older boy's turn. He simply sighed and spoke his name. "I am Itachi. Please to meet you."

The Wayne brothers introduced themselves then waited for you to do the same but I weren't the one who was going to just say my name and let it end. Oh boy was I going to play now.

"Hmm? Look at me and tell me you remember me." I said and closed my eyes. It would take a while.

"I am sorry but I don't remember you," came the boring reply from the older brother. I sighed and smirked.

"As monotonous as ever now aren't we, Grizzly?" I said and opened my eyes to look at his face. Sure enough there was shock and disbelief there for a second then it disappeared and Itachi stood up.

"Please excuse me." He said and went to leave but his mother was not taking that sort of thing right now. I couldn't control my laughter.

"Itachi! Don't be so disrespectful and return this instant! I will confiscate all your books if you misbehave!" She threatened and I laughed some more. My brothers were just embarrassed for the older Uchiha. Sasuke sighed.

"Nii-san knows you?" Sasuke asked and again, Timothy's mind was going to places it shouldn't.

"Yes Sasuke. Why wouldn't he know his girlfriend?" I joked and on cue the grumpy appeared.

"Don't even joke about it." He said. "Sasuke she's not and was never my girlfriend." I pouted.

"And here I thought you might have changed a little."

"You kids are staying for dinner!" Mikoto-san announced and left before any of us had the time to argue and when I went to offer her some help, she plainly refused saying I should 'bond more' with the siblings which I took as 'Itachi'. As if.

I was casually talking to Sasuke and found out that he was the same age as Eric and then I found out that they were going to the same middle school which was connected to the same high school which I am supposed to be attending from next week.

"Oi Grizzly, you going there too?" He didn't answer. "Oi." I poked him. "Itachi oi." He 'tch'ed and turned to Timothy.

"Is she always this annoying?" He asked my brother. I felt offended.

"You tell me that. You are the one who went to school with her." At this the Uchiha closed his eyes and sighed.

"She's grown more obnoxious."

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!" I asked flailing my arms.

"Nothing that should concern you." He spoke and I pouted and turned my head away from him, muttering ill stuff about grizzly bears. "You do know you are talking to yourself right?"

"Why are you asking an obnoxious person that?" I asked a question of my own.

"Uh-oh. Now she is going to taunt you forever with that Itachi." Eric grinned. Itachi sighed, AGAIN!!

"Itachi-nii, don't be so offensive to sis please." Max spoke, for the first time since the brothers arrives.

"Oh my lovely brother Max, how much thou careth for thine sister!" I hugged Max who tried his best getting out of the hold, laughing whole time because he loved it whenever I used Shakespearean language on him.

"Ah finally some energetic neighbours." Sasuke wondered and I grinned.

"Dinner's ready!" Mikoto-san announced.
