Sakura decided to extend her leave for another day, and hopefully not one more, but that's the least of her worries. Her palms were a bit sweaty, her heartbeat raced, and her throat was incredibly dry. She didn't know it would make her feel this way just by telling Sasuke about her professor, Itachi Uchiha. The man with the same family name and similar face like the raven.

At first, Sakura had this doubt that this won't ring any bell to him. She was wrong. It rang a bell, a big church bell kind of ring. It was obvious when the look of his face changed, and in all honesty, it was a face that actually had an emotion written on it, it was by far, his first.

There was a feeling of excitement, thrill and anxiety on the raven. Sakura didn't know further more about his history, but she had an idea. He must've lost someone dear to him. He may be a family member, a cousin or may be even his brother.

Sakura contacted Itachi right away to set a meeting, as soon as possible, tonight. Itachi too, behind the phone, was obviously shaken about the opportunity to meet the man that once triggered his memories. Sakura was nervous about it too and she had this hesitation to tell Sasuke about Itachi's condition. Itachi only knew his name but not his relationship with him.

"Look, I'm sorry if it took a while before I mention him to you. I never thought it would matter this much."
"This is everything. Of course it matters." He sounded irritated. Completely back to his frigid self.
"May I ask what could possibly be the reason why this is everything to you? Is Itachi-senpai your cousin or something?"
Sasuke looked at the pinkette and chuckled coldly. "No. He's my brother, and I've been searching for him. I lost him many years ago when I was young."

"I've known Itachi-senpai for 4 years..I guess.." Sakura suddenly remembered, "Did you perhaps lost him when you were still a teenager maybe? I remember... I remember that I've been with you for half a month and my friend told me I was only gone for 2 days here.. or was it 3? The point is, the time interval is different from down there. This is crazy."
"..then that means we only have a small amount of time before Tobi figures out we're here."

Rushing to the meeting place, Sakura and Sasuke had been half an hour early, only to find out that Itachi and Izumi was an hour earlier.

Sasuke kept his feet on the ground, his eyes carefully studying the man, who was staring back. It was no doubt they were related. They look a lot like brothers. There was no denying it.

Inside, Sasuke was burning with the excitement of seeing him, but it died quickly. He wasn't sure if this was his real brother. It's as if he didn't know him at all.

Itachi was careful meanwhile. He observed the man he knew who had the name of Sasuke. Crazy how it sounds, but the name popped out the moment he had a look on his face. Looking at him alone flash backs blurs of memories but he never understood what could it be or what it meant. He was remembering voices but it was not familiar yet it felt like he had been hearing it since forever.

"You are.. Sasuke Uchiha, right?" Itachi stepped a little closer. The raven only nodded. "I am.. Itachi. Itachi Uchiha."
"Are you?" Sasuke questioned, and it looked like he was about to lose his temper. Sakura felt it right away, and didn't risk another minute before she barged in. She knows this should be special because they're finally seeing each other again after God knows how long- but this might be a fight that might not involve just fists if it gets out of hand. Sakura dragged Sasuke away from the other two's earshot before trying to explain.
