Izumi's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and there was no more pain and I wasn't cold anymore. My heart felt lighter and at peace, there was no worries, nothing else that was holding me back. I slowly sat up and I realized I was in the middle of a field, the weather was slightly cold, like if it was Fall. I looked around confused, but it was just early September, I thought. I started walking following a small road next to a river that led to small hill. I walked slowly looking around admiring the scenery and breathing in the fresh air. 

Soon there was a house at the distance, the house was small but it had a long corridor and it was next to a big lake. My heart started beating faster for some reason, this was a beautiful place.

 I walked over the bridge and took a deep breath, everything here was calming and soothing

 I walked over the bridge and took a deep breath, everything here was calming and soothing. I looked over the bridge towards the entrance of the house and there he was staring right at me. 

Itachi, had that beautiful smile on his face that I always loved seeing. My heart started beating faster almost leaping out of my chest as I saw him walking towards me. He was as handsome as ever, I felt an explosion in my chest that went from my heart to deep in my core. 

"You are finally here," he said with a warm smile

"You are finally here," he said with a warm smile.

"Itachi," I felt like I couldn't breathe. I wanted to hug him, to touch him, but I couldn't, I didn't dare to.

"You are as beautiful as ever," he said walking closer.

I laughed, that nervous laugh like when we were young. "I'm old, Itachi," I said looking down at my hands. For some reason they seemed different, my nails were long like when I was young and there were no scars on my arms. I was also wearing a purple outfit, like the one Shisui got me for my birthday before he died. 

He lifted my face so I could look at him, "do you think that matters to me?" He was now close to my face and looking deeply into my eyes. "I love you Izumi and that will never change. You lived a long happy life at the side of your family and for that I am grateful."

I looked at him smile and I couldn't believe we were here. I touched his face just to make sure I wasn't dreaming, I couldn't hold the tears, it was really him. "Itachi, I missed you," I whispered and he pulled me into a tight hug.
