The Price Of Loving Him... (Itachi x reader)

Chapter 181

I do not own pic!

You entered the house and walked further inside, the only sound you can hear is the sound of your footsteps as a the place was a total silence.
You sighed in relief, noticing that you're alone in the house, at least the dark Itachi hadn't follow you here...yet.
You reached for the light switch and turned it on, gladly it worked giving you some time out of the darkness, this way it will be even easier for Itachi to locate you and find you as he sees the lights...

You walked to the kitchen and looked for something to defend yourself with in case things didn't go as planned, "where are you Itachi...", you whispered, walking toward the reception room, and before you could even sit down to take a rest or do something else, a certain voice startled you.
"Time's up, [name]..."
You heard his deep voice as all the lights suddenly went out, you gulped, frightened as your heart raced fast and your hands became sweaty, no...Itachi was supposed to find you first not this freak!

"Too bad you couldn't find each other in time, how pitiful...", you heard him say as it was hard for you to determine the direction of his voice.

"You wouldn't give us a chance, you enjoy watching our helpless attempts to meet and leave this place!", you said in an angry voice, still can't stop thinking about Itachi, did something happened to him? You clutched your hand tightly on the knife you have been holding, hearing him chuckle at what you said while slowly getting closer.
"I have given you time, but you failed to escape, now it is time I kill you, something that was supposed to happen years ago", he said in a low deep voice, as you flinched hearing a vase full down on the floor and shutters into pieces, that must be him, he does that on purpose to make you even more scared and nervous...before you could say or do anything, you have been sent flying backwards receiving a strong blow from him, making you hit the wall behind you hard, as you winced in pain, trying to stand on your feet again and defend yourself.

"Just why you do this?!", you said angrily, launching toward him in the darkness as you could determine his spot, he just dodged it easily, but then you quickly directed a kick to him, landing a blow on him.
"Not bad", he muttered wiping some blood off of his mouth, but quickly he surprised you with a punch in the guts, then a kick to the stomach as well, making you fall backward on the floor, holding your stomach tight rolling on the ground in pain, you tried not to cry and hold it all back, you're not weak...no, but this is his game, and he has a great advantage over you.
"Done already?!", he asked in a mocking tone, walking toward you slowly, as you could see his feet coming in your direction in the dim light coming through the shoji screen, you helplessly threw the knife you were holding at him as he dodged it easily as expected, you gritted your teeth, tried to ignore the pain and attack him again since you can't escape, you hardly managed to stand up again, gathering the remaining of your strength and directing a punch at him, he stopped it with his palm, then in a quick move, twisted your arm almost breaking it making your cry loudly in pain.

"He is taking longer.. dear [name]...maybe he just realized he doesn't want you...or else, totally forgot about you", the dark Itachi said with an evil smirk as you didn't say anything in response trying to handle the pain, maybe he is right...Itachi didn't show up yet, could it be that he had fallen in one of this manipulative person's traps and Illusions? After all...no one knows Itachi better, than Itachi himself...
"Not true, he will come for sure", you said in a low voice, you can't give up now, but still...you started to feel weaker and feel the despair, you tried to get yourself together, you will fight until the end.

"I was willing to make your death less painful than that if you just gave up earlier, but since you keep insisting on your nonsense, let me show you the truth of what Itachi really wants, maybe then, you will accept your faith...", the dark Itachi said grabbing you by your throat and slamming you backwards agaisnt the wall behind you, you could see the black shaps in his Sharingan fuse all together, turning into the Mangekyo...
"Tsukoyumi", it was the last thing you have heard before going to another world of darkness and pain, more illusions, a world where time and space don't make sense...

You panted heavily, sweat running down your forehead, as you smirked weakly, looking at him hardly able to keep your consciousness.
"Impressive, you broke free from the Tsukoyumi...", he said in a cold voice looking at your face, and at your eyes, and their Mangekyo.
"I managed to resist the infinite Tsukoyumi, my Mangekyo is stronger than you think...", you said, glaring at him, hoping Itachi would come soon before you can no longer resist.
"It doesn't matter really,  you have seen what Itachi wants...and that was the point of the Tsukoyumi. He wishes he still have his parents, his family and the clan, he wishes he still live in Konoha not in your little pitiful village, he wishes it is Izumi his wife not you, he wanted her and wanted to start his own family with her...[name], you have been a good replacement for a while, but you actually don't exist in his most desired dreams and wishes, you have no real place in his heart, you were just a mistake...just accept it, that's the truth", he said in a deep voice, no emotions could be seen on his face under the dim moonlight.

"You think I would just believe what you say after all what you did to me? you think you can show me the truth through a dream? The truth is...what I am living actually, we met, we fell in love, we are one family and we have a beautiful child...that's the truth you don't want to believe", you said with a weak challenging smile.
"There is no need to lie to yourself [name], he is only with you because he doesn't have another option, he needed someone to take advantage of and that was you, if not, why was he avoiding you all this time back then when you needed him so much? Why did he left you before? As for your child...I don't need to remind you that he came to life by mistake, that night Itachi slept with you, he didn't think you'd actually get pregnant, and even, he tried to kill you", dark Itachi said calmly.
"But he didn't kill me, and he loves his son so much, and now we are living all together despite all what happened, and I will keep loving him, no matter what you say", you said with a smirk, noticing the disappointment on his face.
"Fool...", he muttered in a dark way as you could see something shine in his hand, a kunai.
"I tried to end your life in an easy way as you accept your death and desire it, but it seems it is useless to make you understand why you should die, in the end, I guess I will do it the hard way...", he said, grabbing your jaw roughtly by his hand, as you weakly struggled against him and tried to push his hand away in a last attempt to survive and save yourself, tears fell down your cheeks as you thought it was the end and you will never see Tatsu again, Itachi didn't come, and as his dark side had told you, maybe he fell into an illusion where he is happy with his parents and Izumi...

"I still love him...", you muttered through a hoarse voice feeling him place the sharp blade on your throat, cutting slightly on the thin skin of your neck as some drops of blood run down enjoying killing you slowly, just before he totally presses his weapon down and slay you in one quick move, suddenly the shoji screen has been broken and someone barged in, quickly taking you in his grip holding you close then quickly jumping out of the house from the same place he entered from, freeing your from Itachi's dark side torture. You held tight on him as you smiled, finally! your eyes looked up at his face under the red moonlight, but to your surprise your eyes widened as you saw that the man holding you, wasn't Itachi as you expected.

"Sasuke?!"
