Rewriting the part in the original story, where Shisui took his own life. Because I refuse to think he did, so here you are. Yes, I will write the second part of their lemon, I promise! I just write whenever an idea appears in my mind.
Fanart not mine!
This one is Itachi's POV.

He was standing on a cliff, one of his eyelids closed shut, with blood dripping from between his lashes. Fear and shock paralyzed me, when he said what was his plan. He seemed so calm about it and I just wanted to scream, but couldn't move. Until his hand moved up, to his other, opened eye, his Sharingan activated. That's when I started screaming.
- YOU FUCKING IDIOT! DID YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO STAND THERE AND LET YOU TAKE YOUR OWN LIFE? IN THE NAME OF WHAT EXACTLY?! - I jumped to him and yanked his hand down, before it reached his eyeball. I felt a strange sensation, electrical impulses running from my brain to my irises, thousands of miles per hour. It burned. I knew this feeling, it happened to me once already... when I awakened my own Sharingan, my power and my curse. This time however, The Mangekyou activated.
- In the name of that - he pointed at my eyes.
- In the name of protecting you. - a shaking voice said from behind me. Shisui in front of me disappeared in a cloud of smoke and I realised it was his clone. The other one must have been the real Shisui. - Itachi, I'm sorry. I wanted you to have that power, before you do what you need to do. I couldn't have actually done that, for one reason, that reason being you. The only reason I want to be alive, with all that shit that we need to go through. But to help you be stronger, I wanted to awaken your Mangekyou and I thought, if you believe I'm dead...
- Apparently, only the thought you want to do it was enough. - I was crying. I felt ripping pain in my heart, seeing him without an eye. I already knew who did that. - Shisui, I'm gonna kill Danzo. And I'm gonna torture him first.
- Don't you dare trying that now. The guy's powerful as hell, you won't take him down on your own! I can't... - his voice cracked, trembling - I can't lose you Itachi. And I can't help you today, they're after me. I must hurry. Don't worry Itachi, it's not a goodbye forever! I will see you soon enough.
He placed something in my hand. It was a kunai, looking like a completely regular kunai, nothing suspicious.
- Unscrew the handle. - I tried it and he cold metal indeed moved around a few times. There was a thin scroll of parchment in it, seemingly nothing written on it. - It responds to your voice. When you're ready, call my name. It will show you how to find me. Also, as long as you can feel my chakra in it, you know I'm alive.
I quickly hid the kunai in my bag with other ones. I knew I will not use it by mistake - the gentle vibrations of Shisui's chakra in the scroll, only detectable by me, were too apparent.
- And Itachi... It pains me not to be able to help you with the plan. But I know Madara will. Don't look at me all surprised, I also know about him. There will be a safe place for us to hide once you're done. - suddenly he pulled me into a tight hug - Itachi, I can't even imagine what you will need to go through tomorrow night. You're too young...
- I'm capable enough - I said, determination radiating from my voice.
- I know you are. I believe in you. But I will always try to protect you, no matter what. There was a moment of silence between us. Tomorrow, my life was going to change forever. His life was already upside down. But we had each other and this way, we could both be stronger.
- It's time.
- Yeah. It's time.
Shisui jumped up onto the tree branch and disappeared into the night.
