Konoha Town, 2011.

Sasuke awaited Itachi's arrival at the old café shop that was the hallmark place for the Uchiha family's gatherings. It was their favorite spot in the past. However, after Sasuke and Itachi's parents' death in a traffic collision, they stopped going to the coffeehouse because it reminded them of the parents they had lost. The Uchiha siblings were a close pack, even if they shared different views and beliefs of the world around them, later on they distanced themselves, losing the intimacy they once shared with one another.

Sasuke leaned her elbows on the table with pallid hands clenched together as she tried not to pay attention to the irritating chattering around her.

She never liked Konoha Town. Actually, Sasuke despised the bastards that lived there. The city, in the eyes of outsiders, was seen as the best hamlet a person could ever hope and dream to live in, full of pure-hearted and kind citizens, ready to lend a helping hand if one needed, but behind the scenes, the Konoha people were two-faced assholes.

Behind the rays of sunshines and the colorful fields filled with rainbows and butterflies, it was a town filled with misfortune and lies.

As the ex-Uchiha habitué made his entrance at the establishment, gazing around looking for her, Sasuke noticed that Itachi wore his horse riding attire, making Sasuke suspect that he came from a polo play. And probably he had won the match, like always.

He was the golden boy and poster boy of Konoha Town for being the only kid back then, at the tender age of 10, to be accepted in Harvard law school. He was considered by the Konoha folks to be a prodigy and a genius.

" Brother." Sasuke stood up, faking a smile.

" Sister." If Itachi noticed the yellow smile of hers, he didn't tell or show it. His face was blank like the paper.

He concealed his emotions from others like a magician that disguised his tricks from the audience.

Everything went silent as the grave after both sat down, facing each other, awkwardly.

" How long has it been, huh?"

" 12 years and two months."

" Since the day of our parents passing?"

" Don't you count the days?"

" Not anymore."

" Hn."

" So, before I received your invitation through email asking me to meet you here, I never thought I would see you again."

" Well, life is full of surprises." Sasuke's expressions were unchanging, her monochrome onyx eyes showed indifference.

" Last I heard you were working in the Akatsuki Law Firm in New York."

" I still am."

Akatsuki Law Firm. The most feared company in the world. They are a group of lawyers that specializes in defending and freeing criminals in the courtroom.

" Have you ever thought about coming back to town to work in our law firm again?"

They were the founders and owners along with the Senju Family of the Senju & Uchiha Associates. The only law firm in town.

" No."

" Do you want to meet my wife, Izumi? I can call her to come here if you like. You know, you never met her."

" Don't bother to ask her, the thing is, Itachi, I want to sell my shares of the company."

Itachi looked dumbfounded and perplexed.

" Sasuke, do you understand that if you DO sell your part of the company you lose your entitlement and ownership?"

" Of course I am aware of that, you idiot. Buy my shares at any price, brother. I don't care about the ownership anymore, besides, I want to get over this soon as possible, so let's hurry this up."

" If I may ask: why do you want to sell your share? Father and Mother would be sad, if not disappointed to say the least, they always thought we would work together like father did with his brother." Itachi casted her disapproving smile.

" They are dead. It doesn't matter anymore, Itachi." Snapped Sasuke, cold as ice.

Itachi didn't reply, he just looked startled, feeling a chilly shiver down his spine to the soles of his feet.

"Gather the other shareholders, we are doing this now. We will all sign the paperwork today, and after that, consider yourself the sole Uchiha owner of the firm and shares."

" Then we need to call the Senju Brothers and Naruto."

The shareholders of the Konoha Firm were composed of five individuals: Itachi and Sasuke were the Uchiha owners while Hashirama, Tobirama, and Naruto were the Senjus.

"Those savages." Sasuke said in a very straightforward way.

" That's a bit harsh, don't you think?" Questioned Itachi, frowning.

Still prejudice. Thought Itachi. Sasuke was still a fucking bigot. She despised the Senjus since she was little kid, Itachi suspected she got that from their father, Fugaku, and from their granduncles, Madara and Izuna back in the days when she was still in diapers.

" The Senjus are dirty people." Snorted Sasuke, wrinkling her nose in disgust.

" Does that include Naruto too? You know he is related to the Senju Folks." Itachi said while analyzing Sasuke's ghostlike face.

" Naruto too."

" Oh my. I always thought he was your friend."

" Former friend."

" What happened between you and him? When I mention your name around him, his smile dies."

" I lost touch with him, actually, I lost touch with the whole Konoha gang." The younger Uchiha's voice was so monotonous that sounded mechanical, almost, devoid of énergie vitale.

" Does that include Sakura too?"

" That brute too."

Naruto Uzumaki was Konoha Town's pride because he was a Iraq War Hero, whereas Sakura Haruno was Konoha's first and only female doctor to appear in the cover of Forbes magazine, as they say around town, an intelligent and hardworking woman.

A golden boy and a golden girl.

The opposite of Sasuke, who was considered by most of the town as the emo kid.

" What a shame."

" They are an annoying bunch, that's all."

In Sasuke's mind, Konoha High School Gang was just a mere annoyance. A large rock in the middle of the road that Sasuke had to overcome.

" Are they really?"

" Hn."

" Sasuke, have you once in your regrettable and miserable life stopped to wonder if it is you that is the crux of the problem?"

Ah nope. Thought Sasuke, smirking internally.

" What a silly question." Sasuke smirked.

" Is it?"

" Yes, coming from you."

"You haven't changed a bit."

"It is a waste of time to care about other people's opinions of you."

"If I were in your shoes, I would care, your life went downhill after you left Konoha."

" What the fuck did you just say?"

" You lowered yourself by joining that filthy firm from New York. That was so low of you."

" This small town firm doesn't do shit properly. Actually, all Konoha People make me sick."

" We are a well-respected company that is based in a well-known town. Can you say the same about the Akatsuki Firm of yours?"

"Go to hell."

" With pleasure."

" Back off, Itachi. I don't own you shit since my twenty-first birthday. This is a free country so I can do whatever the fuck I want."

" You need to re-evaluate your life decisions, your opinions of others and of the world around you, sister."

" Hn."

" Don't You give me your signature "Hn". You, young lady, might get hit in the face because of your disrespectful attitude."

" Who's going to hit me in the face? You? Naruto? Our parents's ghosts?" Mocked Sasuke, provocatively.

" Life will."

Or someone will. And I would enjoy seeing that happen. - thought Itachi.

Sasuke hesitated before saying: " Enough with this bullshit. Call the Senjus Dogs and the Uzumaki."

" Fine, but after I order my espresso."

" For fuck's sake, Itachi. You are doing this on purpose." Snorted Sasuke, crossing her arms." You want to delay our negotiations."

" Course not. You know how I am an espresso aficionado."

Itachi ordered his espresso while he persisted Sasuke to order something too, so that he could drink with someone. Sasuke knew Itachi didn't like to drink alone so she ordered the usual: tomato juice.

" Oh my God, you are impossible to comprehend, dearie sister."

" Huh?"

" You are the only person that I know of that comes to a café house and orders the same horrible drink: tomato juice. That's is so ultra unbelievable and it just appears to show you are a devotee of tomatoes."

" Shut up you moron. It is the seasonal fruit of this time of year."

" I am stating a mere fact here. Don't need to act edgy, Sasuke."

" I love tomatoes." Growled Sasuke, looking away, cheeks flushing in embarrassment.

" You say that since you were five years old."

" Shut up, Itachi. You had your damn espresso, are you happy now? Can we just go? I need to be in New York by 7:00 p.m, I have a clients meeting."

" You will never arrive in New York in time."

" Yes I will, after we gather those barbarians to sign the papers, I will be gone for good."

" Why do you despise the Senjus so much?"

"Why don't you?"

" They are nice, hardworking and honest people."

" Father didn't like them."

" Father didn't like anyone who wasn't an Uchiha."

" You always sided with the Senjus, that's why dad was mad at you all the time."

You liked them so much that you even worked with them and you made me tag along. - Thought Sasuke.

" Sasuke, give them a chance. Give yourself a chance."

" Our family prejudice against them is justified."

" Now wait a minute, Sasuke-"

" Let's beat it. By the way, I am driving."
