Second Chance (An Itachi Uchiha Love Story)

The Truth

I made the first move, causing black lightning to flow right at him. He was ready for it though and just sidestepped it. However, my attack caused everyone else to begin their own fights, leaving me all alone with Ao. Even so, Kisame and Itachi remained close to me.

"You are so ready to fight me, it just goes to show that you never truly loved me at all," Ao stated as I shot more lightning at him. He dodged my attacks easily though.

"Are you fucking kidding me?! You are the only man I ever thought to marry! You and I shared many firsts and those times have always been special to me!" I yelled out angrily and I lunged at him, trying to hit him with the lightning imbued Kiba. He continued to move out of my way gracefully.

"Speaking of our most important first. Where is our child?" At Ao's words, I could see Itachi and Kisame pause for a moment.

"Shut up! You don't need to know anything about her!"

"Oh? It's a girl? What did you name her? I deserve to know that, I am her father after all." I kept quiet but continued to attack him. No matter what I did, he saw it coming. "I know you Adryn. Better than anyone else in this world."

"That's where you're wrong!" It was Sasuke who'd appeared suddenly behind Ao. "You also don't deserve to know anything about Adryn's daughter!" Sasuke was merely a clone, while the real him fought next to Naruto and Sakura. Ao easily took care of him though by using a jutsu to blow him away.

"What is her name, Adryn?!" Ao demanded as he went right through my defenses and kicked me onto the ground. He took one of the Kiba swords and pointed it at my throat while he stepped on my other arm. I just looked up at him with hate in my eyes.

"Serenity." At her name, I felt my eyes burn. I remembered that feeling, it was the Rinnegan awakening.

"Thank you, now I will find her and use her to destroy the Mist!" Ao went to swipe at my neck but was hit by Itachi's fire jutsu. Ao went flying away, leaving me on the ground. Thankfully, he'd dropped the other Kiba sword, so as I sat up I picked it back up.

"Adryn, your eyes..." Kisame commented a little shocked.

"I'm surprised too," I responded simply. "Thank you, 'tachi. I was fighting too distracted."

"I'd say, what's all this about a daughter?" Kisame questioned instantly.

"I'll explain it to you later."

"Yes, later, right now we will help you fight Ao," Itachi spoke up as he approached both me and Kisame.

"I-"

"No arguments." Itachi harshly spoke to me, causing me to jolt slightly. However, before we could do anything, Itachi was hit with a powerful water jutsu from Ao. It was shocking and Kisame reacted before me.

"You take care of Itachi, I'll handle Ao!" Kisame yelled out as he went into action. I nodded my head and made my way to Itachi. His side had been hit hard, probably breaking his ribs on that side.

"Itachi! Can you still breathe easy?" I questioned instantly as I was at his side. He nodded his head and took a deep breath to show that he could breathe easy. However, he winced as he inhaled showing that something was indeed wrong there. He also began to cough up blood now, meaning something internally was ruptured or at least injured in some way. I couldn't tell, due to how long it's been since I was a good medical ninja.

"Adryn, it'll be alright," Itachi muttered to me as he began to lose consciousness.

"You're damn right it'll be alright, I won't let you die!" I began to tear up as I also began to heal him. I put all my strength into healing the man I truly loved. After about 10 minutes of healing, Itachi woke back up.
