It was a rare day indeed to see so many emotions from an Uchiha. Even if most of them were surprise or bafflement or shock, it was still like, huge to see something like that. Then again, it wasn't every day she found herself across a lunchtable from one of her enemies, wearing a happy-faced uniform and throwing food.

Despite his shocked expression, Itachi said very little. "He killed you," she repeated. Of course Sasuke had done it. He was determined, he'd given up everything just to do that one thing, how could he possibly fail? Still, he hadn't returned. It hadn't brought him any happiness to have his revenge.

"I said it before, don't try to tell me what to do," she said coldly. "How can you even pretend to know what Sasuke wants? A wild animal will run to hide its wounds, even if it needs help. I know Sasuke-kun wouldn't ask me to follow, but that doesn't mean he doesn't need us. Whether it's tying me down or not, it doesn't matter, that's my decision to make."
