This one-shot explores Itachi's POV during her ANBU years, and the quiet, unspoken one-sided crush she harbored for her team captain, Hatake Kakashi. It's a story of observation, reverence, and the soft ache of wanting something she knew she could never have.
It also serves as a prologue to both of my Kakashi x Itachi fics:
The Crow's Throne - a divergence where Itachi chooses her clan.
Even Monsters Need Mercy - where she follows the canon path... and bears its weight.
No matter the timeline, one thing remains constant:
She looked at him. And never said a word.
