Our Twisted Tale (Itachi X Reader)

Chapter One

Beginning The Road To Redemption

Present:

I never thought that I'd be in this specific situation. What situation, you might ask? Well, the running for my life situation. It's my own fault though, I chose to follow him, to love him. I don't regret it, honestly. It was the best decision of my life.
     I ran through trees, shrubbery, anything that got in my way. I jumped and jumped, trying my best to get away from the Shinobi chasing me. I looked back, hearing some yelling.
   "Y/N! Come back! Stop running! We won't hurt you, I promise! Naruto needs you! Sakura, Kakashi, even Sasuke!" I heard Iruka yell as we continued jumping.
     "I'm sorry, Iruka, but this is the path I chose for myself! I cannot come back, you know that!"
     "Is it because of the Akatsuki? Or is it because of him? Y/N, you can live without him! Trust me on this, you know how Kakashi feels for you! Hell, even Sasuke likes you!" Iruka replied as I sharply turned right, I still could hear his feet breaking branches.
     "I love Itachi, you know that! I would never betray him for any other man." I stopped abruptly, the small note in my hand that I had just written was ready. I quickly teleported in back of Iruka and the Anbu following him, I hit a pressure point on each of them quicker than the eyes could blink and left the note in Iruka's hands.
     I left just as quickly, I didn't want to waste any time that I had. Itachi was waiting for me in our usual spot, we had to return to the base and I wouldn't let anyone get in my way.
     Someone had come up behind me unexpectedly, I missed one. "Gotcha." I heard someone say before hitting the solid ground. My Akatsuki robe flowing as I fell. I closed my eyes, becoming unconscious.
     "Itachi, forgive me... I failed you..."

Past:

    I woke up quickly, yawning and stretching before standing. I was part of the Anbu, second in command in Itachi Uchiha's squad. I began walking out of the meadow and walking towards the Anbu headquarters. I quit walking and looked up. I was thirteen years old and already in the Anbu, along with Itachi Uchiha.
     I smiled, reminding myself of my achievements. Itachi and I did everything together: we graduated, became Chunin, Jonin and then got selected for the Anbu at the exact same times. He was my captain and my best friend, and to be honest I have a huge crush on him, but he has a girlfriend. I try not to show how I feel or get upset, though. Anyways, we're both thirteen, crazy right? We just joined a couple months ago, too!
     I frowned a little, Itachi had been acting weird towards me. He kept saying 'sorry' and 'please forgive me'. I didn't mind it, but I started getting a little worried when he would blank out on me and started calling my name out softly, gently, like I was something so precious. He'd never acted like that before...
     I stopped moving, sensing something behind me. I grabbed a kunai knife and threw it without even thinking. Ah! Shoot! What if it was someone who came to give me a mission? Even worse, what if it was Itachi?
     "I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed as I bowed deeply, it was Itachi but with the smell of some blood? "Are you wounded? Come here, I'll heal you!" I hurried over to him and he didn't have a single scratch, there was no need for my medical ninjutsu.
     "Y/N, no matter what anyone tells you, I had no other choice. I couldn't let my beloved village suffer, please understand!" He said quietly as he looked down and came closer, he hugged me tightly. I felt like crying, what was he talking about? What was happening?
     "Itachi, what's going on? What're you talking about?" I felt myself panic and begin shaking, he was the only person who I actually cared about and something was wrong? "Please answer me." I felt my eyes tearing up.
     "I know this is sudden and I'm so sorry, trust me." He paused, looking at me hesitantly. He cupped my face in one of his hands and kissed me, sweetly and tenderly, as if this was the last time I'd ever see him. He began leaving before I grabbed his hand.
      "Wherever you're going, I'm coming with. I don't care about anything else." He looked at me with a bit of a surprised expression.
     "I'm going rogue, Y/N. This is no small thing, you'd be leaving everyone you care for. Your family, friends, loved ones... are you completely sure...?" He looked at me expectantly and I calmed down, looked him straight in the eyes and nodded.
     I grabbed the kunai knife from the ground and looked at him, he nodded slightly. I grabbed the kunai tighter and carved it against his headband, making sure I made a long and straight line. I gave him the kunai and he did the same, but before he did anything he kissed my cheek.
     "Halt or we will take you by force!" We heard the police yell as Itachi took off and grabbed my hand.
     "This will be Our Twisted Tale," I thought as I looked at Itachi and then up to the sky. "And this will become our first chapter, Itachi."
