Friends, enemies, betrayal, ninja/kunoichi, depression, lust. The basic words that describe the life of Reika Hibiki who is madly in love with none other than Itachi Uchiha ⚠ Warning: This fic was written when I was 14 and has been heavily edited. There is also singing in this fic that a lot of people have found cringey and have even stopped reading because of it. It is completely skippable and will not interfere with the plot line if you do skip it. HOWEVER there are also other cringey elements to this story and I'm sorry, but again was written when I was 14 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Rankings🏅: #4 in itachilovestory / 6.12.21 #13 in itachiuchiha / 6.12.21 #321 in story / 6.12.21
