He was ordering a coffee from Itachi, who looked about as thrilled to be working here as he usually did, and poking fun at his best friend 's misfortune at being stuck in a job in the worst coffee chain in the city. It was extra fun because Itachi couldn 't snap back at him with sarcastic vitriol when he was on shift. That was when the hand touched his elbow.

'Zabuza! Zabuza! ' He felt like he knew the voice even though he was sure he 'd never heard it in this lifetime. Sure enough, when he turned around there

he

was.
