Theme #3: An error in communication, perhaps?
"… Very well, Ino-san."
A squeal, followed by an exuberant cry of, "Thank you, Itachi-san! I promise you, you won't regret it!" before the flaxen-haired girl was promptly out of sight, a wide smile on her face as she skipped off to carry out the preparations necessary.
It was not this, however, that had caused incredulity to spread across Shisui Uchiha's face, but rather, the answer that his best friend had given in response to her.
He nudged Itachi in the arm.
"… Hey, Itachi?" Shisui said once he was sure she was out of earshot. "I know you don't take the subject but ah… you do realize that she just asked you out in French, right?"
At this, there was a pause, before Itachi gave him a pointed look. It was not long after that he returned to the essay he had been writing prior to Ino's interruption. A slight riffling of paper, and the sound of pen scratching upon its surface as he resumed his work. Itachi's answer to Shisui was simple, and consisted of a single syllable;
"Yes."
