New Life [Itachi x Reader]

28

Itachi. My mind went straight to him when I opened my eyes. I rushed out of my room and immediately went to his room. It's empty. I went around the hideout but Itachi was still nowhere.

"Kakuzu" I approached Kakuzu who was busy counting money in his room. "Do you know where Itachi is?"

Kakuzu paused for a moment. "A few hours ago I saw him go somewhere with Kisame"

"Where?" I asked hurriedly.

"I don't know. Sorry, kid"

I went over and asked all the members in the hideout about where Itachi and Kisame go, but they all didn't know. My vision began to blur with tears. I tried to rub the tears away, but they just kept coming. 

My ears heard the sound of the diminishing seconds of life.

Itachi.

My instincts kicked in and suddenly I had a place to go. Uchiha headquarters.

I found my legs trembling as I saw a lifeless body lying among the rubble. It's him. It's... Itachi. I saw someone lying beside him, unconscious, and I'm sure he is Sasuke. I tried not to fall and walked over to him. I felt a stinging tears gather in my eyes and the lump in my throat made it hard to breath. I can't believe that now I'm facing my biggest fear.

I knelt beside Itachi and caressed his cold cheek.

(All credit goes to the artist)

"I'm here" I choked. The tears clouding my eyes, I couldn't see his face. "I'm here, Itachi"

I put my head on his chest, can't hear his heartbeat. My heart shattered into a million pieces. Please tell me that this is just one of those nightmares. I'm not ready for this. Will never be ready.

I embraced his lifeless body and sobbed uncontrollably. I gritted my teeth, it hurts so much. I love him, made me always think how to make me always with him. How to make lots of memories with him. Until I forgot to think of a way to let him go.

"Who... are you...?"

I lifted my head and behind my tears, I saw Sasuke was awake.

"I don't care who you are and what relationship you have with him, but he doesn't deserve you to cry like that"

"...You're wrong" I sniffled. 

"You don't know what kind of person he is"

"It's you who don't know anything about him!" I screamed in frustration. "You don't know the truth about him!"

"There is no truth in him" Sasuke said coldly, his hand moved to take his sword. "You'll die with him"

"Lay your hand on her and I'll kill you right here, right now"

I turned and saw Kisame stood there, pointed his sword at Sasuke. "You're at a disadvantage in fighting. I'll give you a chance to go with your team and leave this place"

Several people appeared behind Kisame. 

"We better retreat, Sasuke" said a girl with red hair. She approached Sasuke and draped his arms on her shoulders. A second later, they're all disappeared.

"You know, didn't you?" I asked Kisame.

Kisame put his hand on my shoulder.

"Why didn't you tell me...?" I asked between sobs. "Why didn't you tell me?!"

"...I'm sorry. It's his wish"

Tears rushed down my cheek. "...Leave us alone"

"(Y/N)..."

"Kisame... Please...."

Kisame hesitated for a moment before finally walking away. I stroked Itachi's hair as I continued to cry silently. The dark clouds began not to bear the weight of the raindrops and they poured out on us. The sky is crying with me.

"I love you..." I whispered. My hand moved to touch my necklace pendant.

"Secret technique..." my voice trembled. "...New life"

I felt my vision start to blur. So all this time, has Itachi seen the world like this?

Every time I took a breath, it hurts. All this time, Itachi had suffered so much even when he breathed.

I coughed a few times before finally swaying and laying down next to Itachi. I continued to stare at him even though my vision was getting blurry. Over time, the world was getting darker and I know, my time has come. I smiled one last time.

Well, not all stories end happily, do they?

I'm sorry Itachi. I know I'm selfish for doing this, but I want you to live.

Live on. Be happy.

you deserve it, Itachi...

Never gonna let you go

Giving you my heart and soul

Oh, baby, all I wanna do

Is spend my every second with you

This love, this love

I mean it 'till the day I die
