So sorry for the wait everyone! I've been very busy with school since you know the school years are ending all around and I've been working on late assignments and much more. But I hope you enjoy the update of Bronte, and I did listen to your reviews about whether or not for the Uchiha brothers to tell their parents about Sakura's transformation. You'll see the answer when reading. ;)

And... Happy Birthday Itachi! C: (Augh this is late!)

I am sorry for any spelling or grammatical mistakes.

"Here put these on... Please."

Sasuke said to Sakura as he handed her a stack of neatly folded clothes. His mother's clothing actually. The cat girl held the clothes as she looked at Sasuke with a questioning look. Sasuke was just waiting for Itachi to come back. He would know exactly how to handle this situation. Well really no one knows how to handle this kind of situation. Itachi was just cool-headed and all Sasuke could think right now was that his cat is now a girl. Naked inside his house, alone with him.

A faint blush lingered on the young Uchiha's face as he averted his coal eyes to the window. Sakura however was still staring at him with the clothes in her lap. They sat in the living room couch while she was completely bundled up in a thick blanket, blocking off any of her milky, bare skin.

"Sasuke-sama."

Said boy blinked and slightly jumped on the couch they both sat down.

"What?"

"I don't want to put these on. There's no point in... clothing."

Sakura stated easily.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he sighed longingly.

"Well you want to be human right? Or act like it?"

The pink-haired girl nodded.

"Humans put clothes on to keep their decency. So put it on unless you don't want us to teach you to be human."

Sakura blanched and jumped up from the couch. The blanket fell to her feet and Sasuke almost squeaked in surprise but his pride stifled it down and instead he just shut his eyes closed and turned his head away from the bare girl standing next to me.

Luckily she didn't say anything but instead she ran out of the room, leaving Sasuke to assume she was going to go and comply to his request. Now he could just wait for his big brother to return from getting some things at the store.

Itachi was going out to retrieve some 'lady' products. As much as he didn't want to risk being seen buying feminine products, he knew he had to. Plus Sasuke wouldn't budge.

As if Sasuke didn't wait enough, Itachi walked through the front door and into the living room holding two plastic bags apparently filled with materials unknown. The eldest Uchiha sat down the bags on the kitchen table and came back to the living, seating himself next to Sasuke on the couch.

"Where is she?"

"I gave her clothes to change in."

Itachi nodded and leaned back into his chair. Arms sprawling out on the top of couch as he let a sigh of stifled stress come out. Even if he was known to deal with even the worse situations this was too much. But it wasn't even normal circumstances! His beloved cat of eight years turns into a human girl out of no where. Plus she knows how to talk and she wants to learn how to be human!

He recalled that he specifically wished for her to be human when he came home earlier from... witnessing his now ex-girlfriend cheating on him. Another pained sigh escaped his throat lowly. This actually had to be the worse day of his life. He could honestly say that without stuttering or thinking it.

And it is the most confusing day of his life.

Onyx eyes flashed as they averted to the sound of someone walking towards their front door. Sasuke's identical eyes also turned towards the noise. The two Uchihas jumped from the couch and quietly, yet swiftly walked to the door.

"Who's here?"

Sasuke asked in a hushed whisper. Itachi hushed him with his a brief glance and returned his attention to the door. Their school had just gotten out and maybe it was just Sasuke's friends or Itachi's. Who knew, but Itachi doubted it was their parents.

But unfortunately he heard a too familiar voice and he for once was wrong in his life.

"...Oh shi-"

"Shh... Just.. Go and get Sakura. Do not let her come down here or let her see mom."

Even though this whole situation was extremely stressful, Itachi knew he couldn't let them get caught. Because like Sasuke said... Their parents wouldn't be the most happiest people when they find out. Or take this situation delicately.

"Why?-"

Itachi glared at Sasuke when he heard his mother's voice and steps getting louder. As they heard the jingle of her keys, Sasuke jumped up and ran, quietly, where they saw Sakura stalk off to.

Itachi stood up to his normal height and before he could go back to the living room and pretend nothing just happened, the door swung open and slammed into his face. Hard.

A loud grunt escaped his throat as his mother looked at him with wide eyes and a loud gasp escaped her throat. Immediately her hands reached for him and her small hands rested on his abused face. Itachi was still slightly dizzy from the hard hit but the caress from his mother made it less noticable.

"Itachi! What were you doing in front of the door?!"

He blinked and smiled to reassure his mother it was alright.

"...I was just about to go outside."

Mikoto put down one hand and left the other to linger on her son's pale face. Her eyebrow raised up in question.

"Why? Did you not just get home from school?"

Itachi frowned and nodded. Where was this going?

"I... I was going to go to Sasori's house..."

He said almost too quietly. Yet Mikoto took it and smiled softly before letting her hand fall from her son's face. With a turn on her black heels, she moved aside from Itachi and started towards the living room. Itachi sighed inwardly in relief as he shut the door and followed his mother.

Briefly he looked in the direction where Sasuke scurried to and heard slight noises that he couldn't hear. Hopefully Sasuke is able to handle Sakura. From what recently happened with Itachi and Sakura, he concluded that she was very tricky. How did she escape his grip when Sasuke arrived to them under the blanket? He didn't even feel her slip.

The light hum Mikoto started singing made Itachi let go of his thoughts and return to his plan.

"Why are you home early mother?"

The Uchiha said as he watched said women put her bag down and walk towards the kitchen door. He followed once again for an answer and sat down at the counter. Mikoto turned to him and opened the fridge while finally answering his question.

"Oh I asked to get off early because I want to start cooking a special meal Itachi. You must've known that."

She said as she brought out multiple ingredients to the counter at which Itachi sat at. The raven-haired boy had no idea what she was talking about and opened his mouth to ask but he got interrupted when Mikoto sat down a big, tin bowl in front of him.

"Itachi it's your father's birthday."

Said boy's mouth whispered a silent 'Oh' and he continued to watch her rummage through every cabinet in the big kitchen. He was still worrying about Sasuke's ordeal and he was wondering how his little brother was keeping that pink-haired girl down.

"Hey where's Sakura? I'm surprised she hasn't come say 'hello' to me yet."

Itachi tensed up immediately when he heard the name Sakura and he felt the headache rushing in. Mikoto put down two bowls at the counter as she turned to Itachi with a raised eyebrow. Also a questioning glint in her obsidian eyes.

"Itachi?"

Then realization hit the Uchiha mother.

"You lost her?!"

Itachi blinked and stared at her with his stoney expression and tried to figure out how she got this idea.

Mikoto frowned deeply and gave Itachi a brief look before picking up her phone.

"Itachi how did you lose our baby?! She's like family. That's like losing Sasuke! I-I got to call our neighbors... You know she-"

"Mother. How did you get that idea?"

Mikoto stopped dialing on her phone and looked at Itachi with an incredulous look. Itachi could almost say what just happened was humorous but in a way they actually lost Sakura.

"...You said you were going outside. You rarely do that on school days, so I thought you were going out to look for Sakura maybe. You didn't lose her then?"

Itachi nodded slowly.

Mikoto smiled crookedly and muttered a quick apology before returning to her earlier search for kitchen ware and ingredients.

"So where's Sasuke? He should be here too since your here."

Shit.

Itachi tried to calm himself down as he unwillingly let scenarios pass through his already stressed out mind.

What if he wants them to run some errands for the dinner? What if she wants him to come down? What if-

What if she goes looking for himself?!

Itachi knew if she did that he couldn't stop her. She was a very stubborn women and it ran in their family. It especially affected Sasuke though but Itachi does have his stubborn side.

Gingerly, Mikoto sat her hand down on Itachi's shoulder and shook it. Itachi looked up to meet Mikoto's onyx eyes that were identical to his own.

"Itachi... Are you alright? You seem shaken up today?"

Nodding, Itachi feverishly got up from the chair and started towards the staircase. Leaving a confused Mikoto behind.

"I'll go get him mother. Just finish whatever you were doing."

He said over his shoulder before he ascended up the stairs.

"Just sit down dammit!"

"This is why I like Itachi-sama better! You're so mean!"

Itachi groaned and rushed to the closed door that held the hushed argument inside. Didn't they know that they were talking somewhat loud?!

"Why can't you just not move for at least five minutes!? And good 'cause I'd rather not deal with you all the time."

He briefly heard Sakura... growl? Maybe hiss. He could practically hear Sasuke's famous scowl through the door and before their fighting could go on, Itachi busted through the door and glared at the two of them. Sasuke was sitting on his bed with what Itachi expected. A huge scowl was on his face. However Sakura was standing in front of him with a scowl of her own and her fists were clenched.

Fortunately she had clothes on and when Itachi held the door wide open, they both turned to him with surprised expressions.

"Please be quiet! Mother is downstairs and she might hear you. Unless you want her to come up here and see this whole mess."

Sasuke frowned and bowed his head down to the floor. But Sakura grinned and practically ran towards Itachi with open arms. Her arms clinged onto to him tightly and a brief grunt escaped his mouth. A low purr rang through Itachi's shirt and her face was buried in his chest. Sasuke sighed and crossed his arms as he watched Itachi sigh as well.

"Hey nii-san..."

Itachi averted his eyes to Sasuke and nodded in acknowledgment. He tried to ignore the girl strangling him this very moment and he frowned.

"Itachi-"

"Just Itachi. Stop calling me 'Itachi-sama' please."

Said boy immediately interrupted the cat-girl as she looked up with her shining emerald eyes. The same eyes Itachi fell in love with when he saw the battered kitten many years ago.

Itachi felt her nod into his chest and she let her grip go on him before backing up towards Sasuke and sitting next to him. Sasuke gave her a quick glance and averted his onyx orbs back to Itachi; Awaiting for a plan to set in.

"So... What's gonna happen?"

Itachi rethought that question in his mind for a moment.

What was going to happen?

This literally all just happened. Their beloved cat turning into a full-grown girl and plus Itachi's breakup. It wasn't what you called a normal day. Nor the best day. Inwardly Itachi cringed and averted his obsidian eyes to the pink-haired girl in front of him. She was staring back at him with her sparkling, emerald eyes.

Should he tell his mom now so that they can break the news to their father later? Now that would be a nice birthday gift. Or maybe they can just play it off as a friendly new girl just came to school and they befriended her. But where would she live? Maybe they could just say they found this girl on the street...? Just like when they actually did find her as a cat.

But the same rules wouldn't and couldn't apply. Finding a small kitten is different from finding a grown girl! Completely different. Now Itachi felt stupid for even thinking that. Itachi even went to the extreme of thinking that if he wished for her to be a cat while sleeping with her would work. It did when she was cat right?

But the one thing that bothered the older Uchiha was how? How did she even change?

Did wishing actually work? Since that is what he 'wished' for. For Sakura to be human and look at her now. Sakura is a human girl.

"Nii-san?"

Itachi blinked.

"Yes?"

"What are we going to-"

Itachi never knew how it felt to feel your heart drop until now.

The door behind him opened and revealed Mikoto.

"Itachi, Sasuke. What are you two- Who... Who's this?"

Itachi didn't even bother to turn around. Instead he just locked his eyes onto Sakura who looked to be ready to pounce on his mother. By the slowly becoming grin on her face and her jade eyes glinting in amusement. Her pink lips parted probably to yell out Mikoto's name but Sasuke slung his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his chest tightly.

"Who is this?"

Mikoto repeated with a more stern and serious tone. Itachi finally turned around and saw that her arms were crossed with her face scrunched up in a distraught expression. But who could blame her.

"Itachi. Sasuke. Tell me now."

The two could tell she was getting annoyed with them not answering. So Itachi randomly spit out an answer and he knew Sasuke would gravely regret it. And same with himself.

"She's... Sasuke's girlfriend mother."

Mikoto lost her scowl and it was replaced with the happiest face Itachi has seen in a while from his own mother. Her eyes lit up and she ran towards Sakura and Sasuke with a big grin and open arms.

"Really?! Sasuke, how come you haven't told me?! You're so pretty...um what's your name, miss?"

Itachi watched with wide eyes and he was actually speechless. Sasuke's expression was identical as he watched his mother smiling deeply at Sakura, who was locked under his arm with a scowl that was briefly changed into a surprised expression.

Her jade eyes looked towards Itachi, who was behind Mikoto, out of her sight, and silently asked what to do. She finally figured out that none of this was normal for her family and she knew the Uchiha brothers would not be estatic with her if she jumped onto Mikoto and told her everything that happened.

Nope.

So instead the cat-girl, smiled gingerly and, learning from watching her care-takers, stuck out her hand.

"Hello. I am Sakura... Ha-Haruno...?"

"Sakura Haruno! What a fitting name!... Y'know, you remind me of our cat, Sakura. She has pink hair like yours... and green eyes too... That's a little odd."

Itachi was frankly surprised with how Sakura handled the situation. Honestly he thought she would pounce his mother and explain to her bluntly that she was their cat. He was actually proud. Maybe she did learn something.

But where did the name Haruno come from?

"Oh well... Sakura-chan, would you like to stay for dinner? If that's okay with your parents. Should I call?"

Oh no.

This was what Itachi was expecting.

He was at a loss of words but to his surprise, Sasuke spoke.

"Mother. Sakura's parents have gone on vacation and I was going to ask you... If she could stay here for the time being...?"

Sasuke asked with a tiny voice. He didn't know how his mother would respond.

"Oh... Um sure. I just wish you would've asked me earlier so we could've arranged some things with her parents, but... Yes she could she stay. You seem fairly trusting Sakura-chan."

Itachi and Sasuke were both silently surprised.

Very surprised.

Their mother is just letting some girl stay with them for however long and she did not make a fuss about it. Nothing at all. Why was today just so weird?!

"How long are you staying Sakura-chan?"

"Three months."

Itachi replied immediately.

All eyes turned to him.

"...I see. Do you have all your clothing?"

"Yes."

Itachi replied again.

Leaving a dumbstruck Sasuke in his wake.

"Hm. Where ne?"

Itachi gulped.

"We're going to get the rest of it tomorrow."

"Aa. Okay. Seems you three got this all planned out."

Mikoto turned to Sakura with a smile.

"Sakura-chan. It was nice to meet you. Please enjoy your stay here and well talk over everything at the dinner table tonight. Until then."

Then she turned to Itachi with a serious gaze.

"Itachi. Sasuke and you must show her around the house and since this dinner will take a bit of time, please show her around the neighborhood."

"Wait. Why the neighborho-"

"Just do it."

He nodded and watched Mikoto walk out the door. A loud sigh of relief escaped his throat and he finally turned back to Sasuke and Sakura.

"... Well shall we?"

"Nii-san. Are you sure we should do this? I mean what if she changes back?"

Itachi retrieved the bag from the woman at the counter with a small thanks and turned back to Sasuke and Sakura.

The bag held female school uniforms and multiple other school materials, like a briefcase, shoes, ribbon.

Their plan was to 'apply' Sakura to school and see how long this waits out. Since Itachi was school president, he knew exactly how to fill the forms out with ease and how to make it look like she was an actually attendee.

Even though he deeply hated doing this.

Tomorrow was her first day and he decided that because it would look suspicious with his parents if she didn't go to school.

"Itachi."

The two brothers stopped walking when they heard Sakura speak. She had not spoken this whole time and for some reason, it worried them.

Itachi turned to her and silently awaited for her to continue and she did with a serious glint in her emerald eyes.

"I don't want to go to school. It's pointless."

"You think everything is pointless."

Sasuke added immediately as they continued walking. Sakura glared at him briefly before turning back to Itachi with softer eyes.

"Please Itachi-sama."

Itachi groaned lowly and stuffed his hands in his pocket as they continued their sluggish pace on the street.

"Sakura you have to go if you don't want to look suspicious."

Sasuke and Itachi continued walking and were happy to not hear her fight back. But they didn't notice her stop until they were quite far from her. They turned back and saw her standing a good distance away with her head drooping down towards the ground. Itachi's eyes widened when he saw what seemed to be a tear fall from her face. Why the hell was she crying?

"...Sakura?"

Sasuke watched as Itachi started walking back to Sakura hesitantly. The younger Uchiha silently concluded that Itachi was very fatherly.

"Hey what's wro-"

Then a very, very loud wail rang through the street. The street full of people. People that turned towards the crying girl and wondered what had happened.

Sakura was now on her knees sobbing loudly and Itachi was standing right in front of her staring down with a confused expression, while he muttered a few curse words he wouldn't dare say in front of his mother and father. Sasuke turned around and sighed loudly as he felt the embarrassment crawl up.

She kept yelling-

"I don't want to go to school!"

While Itachi kept saying to her in a hushed tone, hopeful for no one to hear him.

"Sakura. Stop. You have to go- Just please. I'm sorry! Just get up."

She was like a damn child!

People were now walking by staring and a few people had the courage to just stop and stare at the scene.

Even though Itachi didn't want to attract even more attention, he did what he had to do.

He bent down and scooped Sakura up in princess-style and started fast-walking towards their home with Sasuke in suit. Sakura was still loudly crying but now it was muffled as he cried into his shirt. As they now ran, many people watched in confusion as the two Uchiha brothers and a loudly sobbing pink-haired girl in one of their arms sprinted through the streets and to their house.

Itachi knew he was going to go crazy before all of this got stable.

Hope'd you enjoyed! This chapter was sort of fillerish but not really.

Reviews are always appreciated and they make my day and night! :)))
