Re: Itachi -- I don't know how/whether they'd interact if they actually met, but I rather had the impression that killing Itachi would be what kick-started the "Saki-chan full-time when not on missions" thing.
I mean, Sasuke is more messed up than most avenger-types. If he actually kills Itachi, I think he's going to shut down. Need to be steered around things, have food put in front of him, that kind of thing.
And under those circumstances where he has an outlet (such as, say, Saki-chan), that's going to be the first thing he's going to reach for when he feels ready to come out again.
Besides, once Saki-chan or Sasaki or whatever has bawled all over Naruto (which (s)he is going to NEED at that point -- much worse than "In the Rain"), it's going to be that much harder for Uchiha Sasuke to come out and ever hold up his head again. Like you said.
Eh, that's another bunny that needs a canon injection to grow into ficness.
