itachi: i'm sorry

Content: Angst, blood
Setting: You are Y/N Uchiha, and this is the time where Itachi had to kill his whole clan.

Petrified screams wake you up. It was almost like you were in a nightmare;

Except the fact that it was real.

Blood spurted out into the streets, painting the town red. Someone was going door to door, killing everyone in your clan.

"Mom, dad, what's happening?" you ask in horror.

"Y/N, you must go. Leave the village and go far," your father says calmly.

"B-But what about you gu-"

"GO!" your mom screams, and you gulp. You take your backpack and get ready to jump out of your window and into the trees.

"I love you, mom, dad," you whisper and jump out.

You fake running away, shedding silent tears. You peek behind a tree, looking into your home from a distance. Blood stained the window, and you saw a shadow brutally murder your parents. You feel a power awakening in your eye. "Mom... dad..." you hyperventilate. Why was your whole clan getting killed? Is it because they were going to overthrow Konoha?

You see red sharingan eyes stare right into yours. Your own kind? They know you ran, and you gasp and leap through the trees.

You hear a small crack in the tree branches behind you. Someone is on your tail.

"Leave me alone!" you screech, "I don't know why you're killing everyone, but you don't need to do this!"

"Y/N?" a familiar voice recognizes you after hearing your voice.

That voice made your sharingan activate, "Itachi... did you do this?"

You don't plan on stopping because you know he has to kill you too.

"It's for Konoha's safety," he says.

If he's gonna keep chasing you, you have to stall him.

"Fireball jutsu!" you say as you use the flames to run elsewhere.

That didn't work. Itachi excels in everything, and he is the true heir to the power of the Uchiha. You had a big crush on him back then, and you still do. But right now, you're terrified of him.

You give up partially, and you stop on a branch, wielding your kunai. He leaps onto your branch and you two spar. You're resisting his strength, and you were distracted. He kicked you in the stomach and sent you flying to the ground.

You cough out blood and he stands over you as you sit weakly against a tree. Your ribs hurt, perhaps he broke one of them.

"I-Itachi..." you mutter.

"I have no choice..." he replies and draws his sword.

A tear falls from your sharingan eyes, "I don't wanna die, Itachi. Please... stop."

You feel like you're in a fever dream. Did he use genjutsu? You see you and Itachi with a child in your hands. Was that... yours? Wow... you smile, even though it's just a genjutsu. It was your dream life. The genjutsu is released, so you look up at Itachi.

"So, that's your dream life?" he asks.

You nod, "But that can't happen, right?"

He purses his lips together in hesitation, "I really don't want to do this..."

"Please don't, Itachi. I love you..." you beg.
