Kagome knew there was something off with the story they told her, not that she thought Sasuke was lying, he'd never lie to her not like this. It just didn't make sense, the reasoning behind his sudden betrayal. As disbelieving blue eyes stared at the half decoded paper in her hand though she almost wished she'd been wrong, it seemed there were far more secrets surrounding Itachi.

The first time Itachi saw her was the first time he ever found himself on death's door, in that one meeting that saved his life, and completely unaware she'd flutter her way into his path ever since, never able to look at him ever since that one first time. It was only fitting that now, as he was about to cross once more, she could see him again.
