understand."
"Though not". She stood across from him. "First Shisui and then our family. Are you sick?"
"I wish I didn't have to ..."
"You wish it?" She snapped at him. The anger overcame her, but she tried to keep herself under control, "Why did you even do it?
You killed Shisui to get the Mangekyo Sharingan. But why our family? Why are you doing this?"
He looked at the floor so she couldn't see his face.
"You don't get the Mangekyo Sharingan by killing your best friend, but ..."
Then he looked at her. Tears ran down his cheeks.For the first time in her life, Itachi did not have that impenetrable mask on it. This time she could see into his soul and it betrayed her ... remorse.
"by destroying the life of the person you love most."
She took a few steps back from him. Now she understood why he had kissed her. Everything just so that he is the only one for her. And she fell for it.
"I am sorry."
"What are you sorry for?", Sayuri shouted, "That you killed your family out of hunger for power? That you destroyed the lives of Sasuke and me? That you took advantage of me?
If you want to leave Konoha, you're considered a renegade ninja and then I won't be ... "
Before she could continue, Itachi put his lips to hers. She tried to fight back, but he wouldn't let go of her.
She didn't know if it was her tears that she tasted.

~ Hospital[Konoha-Gakure]~

As if after a nightmare, Sayuri opened her eyes. She hoped it was all just a bad dream, that it was all just imagination.
However, a look across the room told her that she was in the hospital.
She shot through pain as she tried to straighten up.
She was alone.
She heard two voices outside the door. They belonged to Sensei Ilian and the Hokagen.
"Should we tell her what happened?" He asked.
"Better not.", Ilian replied, "Her illness could only relapse if we tell her that Itachi is gone."
"I can't explain why anyone does anything like that. The Uchihas didn't harm anyone.
And now Sasuke and Sayuri seem to be the last. "
Sasuke is alive. Lucky, went through her head.
Itachi must have knocked her out and then disappeared.
Tears ran down her cheeks. Why did it have to come to this?
When the door opened, Sayuri decided to open the window and jump out.
She had to find Sasuke, find out what he had said to him.And she also knew where to look for him.
Yellow tape forbade entry into the Uchiha house.
In the room where her uncle and aunt lay the night before, she found Sasuke, who was crying bitterly. His parents' bodies have already been taken away.
He heard Sayuri's footsteps and turned around.
She crouched down so he could run his arms around him. He snuggled his face against her shoulder.
"Why did he do that?", He sobbed and Sayuri also filled with tears.
"I don't know" That was actually true, because why he had done it in the end, didn't want in her head.
"He said I wasn't worth dying"
"Nobody is worth striving for, Sasuke" She stroked his hair.
Someone seemed to stab her heart with a knife, her chest hurt so much. She hardly dared to breathe.
Was it the grief or ... her illness.
It wasn't allowed to hit her now, what else will happen to Sasuke?
She pushed him back so that she could look him in the eye.
"Listen to Sasuke!", She gasped, "Everything Itachi said is not true! You mustn't believe his words! Do you hear?"
He nodded uncomprehendingly before her eyes went black and she slumped in his arms.
