"You must have burnt that bridge and spat on the ashes then, because he's never mentioned you," Ami said, not quite managing to fight down the acid that was still welling up from her initial burst of anger. "And if he's your cousin—"

She stopped short, thinking of the consequences of that. Sephiroth had been promoted by the time he was Ami's age, so he couldn't have been a member of Konoha at any point. "...you abandoned him, didn't you." It wasn't a question. In fact, it might have been less accusing if it was. Or if there was any inflection in her voice at all.

"I'm not sure how you can do that sort of thing and still claim that you never intentionally did something to hurt him." Ami couldn't imagine abandoning her own cousin, aunt or uncle.
