Itachi felt his face heat up. "That has nothing to do with this." It didn't. Itachi didn't care at all what Ashiko looked like. She was, he knew, an attractive young woman. That was one of the reasons he found it odd she was running errands for her "danna-sama."

Or did it have something to do with it? Could it be a physical attraction had had effected his decision about Ashiko? Itachi bit the end of his thumb. That was something he hadn't thought about before.
