Lee had said it -- go to that house to ask for a sparring partner, nothing more. Not apologize, not accept this situation she had found herself in, but just... get their team back together. Maybe it was just because of everything that had happened with Naruto, but he almost felt he could understand her motivations, if not agree with them.

Hopefully he could avoid both Uchiha and simply find his teammate. He... missed her, after his own fashion. It seemed fate didn't favor him that day, because he found himself face-to-face with Uchiha Itachi. Freezing in place, a dark scowl finds his lips for a moment before he inhales once, forcing his expression to return to something impassive as he lowers his head in a barely-low-enough-to-be-respectful bow.
