He hasnt been right, since that mission.
He hasnt said anything to me ever since.
He would just stare off into the nighttime sky, on his roof, brooding.
His eyes no longer held emotion of any sort. To say he was cold would be massively over heating him. Every time our eyes met, more like look past, look through me, I would just freeze.
Those abysses of black ice.
We had been good friends since both of us became chuunin, five years ago, when we were eight.
After that, we became ANBU together, just a month ago. That night we went out to celebrate, at the best restaurant in Konoha.
I had developed a crush on him for the longest time. It started out infantile, really, and I really did like him. But I never had the chance to say so. He was my best friend, as well as Uchiha Shisui.
I had abandoned my usual loose and boyish clothing in exchange for a slender silvery-black kimono of lace with a mahogany obi. It had been my mothers.
When he came around to my humble abode, and I had opened the door, something indefinable appeared in his eyes... Something I couldnt place my finger on...
Without his eyes ever leaving mine, he handed me a single blood red rose. I bowed, speechless.
He nodded, just as wordless, and led me to dinner.
Dinner was a quiet affair, just the two of us. I had expected him to bring his immediate family, but only he came...
We would tell jokes, and laugh like we did before.
But that night was different. There was this tension in the air. And something, inside of me. Something stirring, starting in my slender abdomen, and spreading out, up, to the sides.
This feeling spread everywhere...
Afterwards, he walked me back to my home on the poorer side of town, far, far away from his large estate. It was silent. Neither of us talked the feeling began to burn, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
Wordlessly, he shrugged off his light jacket and, wrapped it, almost intimately, around my shoulders.
We continued in silence for the rest of the way. I bowed to him and thanked him for the marvelous dinner, my best ever.
Instead of returning the bow like he usually did, he placed two of his fingers under my chin and lifted it. Our eyes connected, and I froze, my pale blonde hair covering my left eye.
With his finger still supporting my chin, he used his other hand to brush away my messy hair to expose my dark red eyes.
He took a step forward, closing the gap between us. His black eyes sparkled in the light of the full moon.
He leaned forward, his nose just touching mine. I was still frozen in his magnificent ashy eyes, and he seemed to hesitate...
And like what you would see in cheesy romance movies, he touched his lips to mine...
That was a month ago, and all of warmth, all the love, was now gone.
During the day, he was an emotionless husk, going about, completing missions, not talking to any one not talking to me.
But at night, he would cry. Tears leaked out from the corners of his eyes, wetting his pillow.
I now stand by his bed, watching him sleep.
I had realized, that night a month ago that I, dare I say it?
I love him.
"Itachi..." I whispered, kneeling by his bed and stroking his hand. "Why wont you visit me? Why wont you even talk to me, look at me?"
I moved my pale hands to his face, and tentatively, tenderly, I caressed his face with my fingers. The skin where he made contact with me burned, much like my lips a month ago.
"Do you not remember me, or are you trying to forget?" I said, tears forming at my eyes. "You said you loved me back then. Have you changed your mind? Does love no longer exist for you? Itachi, please talk to me..."
"Akarai..." Itachi whispered in his sleep.
I smiled forlornly, my stomach wrenching painfully.
"I love you."
A single tear rolled down my cheek.
I stare at Itachi, my heart screaming so many different things.
He wouldn't...
I hastily stepped between him and the boy that struggled helplessly in the water...
"Itachi..." I whisper, stop. "Please, don't do this!"
The boy behind me struggles, and falls limp, his chocolate eyes clouded over, and his chestnut hair floating as he drifts downward to the depths of the still water...
Shisui...
I dive into the water, not making a single splash...
"Shi-kun! Wake up!" I cry out. "Wake up! Fight back! Come on..."
He keeps on sinking until he is completely enveloped by the dart nadir of the pool.
I just stay there, suspended in mid air, not believing what he did...
I rush upwards and stood upon the motionless water, looking at the one who stole my heart, Itachi.
He looked straight back at me. His eyes...
His eyes...
"Why?" I ask my heart pounding painfully.
"Damn you, Akarai..." He whispers. Rage and sadness leaking out of his charcoal black eyes. "This is all your fault. You just had to love me I wouldnt have had to do this..."
"Itachi..." I whimpered from between cries. "I'm so sorry..."
But he has already left, marching toward his house, leaving me here to cry.
A few more days have passed since Itachi had killed our best friend, Uchiha Shisui. That day, were the first words he had spoken to me since that mission a long, long time ago.
That mission seemed like it was an entire lifetime ago...
I still watch over him... I cant help the fact that I love him... that I want to be with him...
I didnt choose to fall in love with him, but I did anyway...
He grows emptier and emptier every time I see him. It's getting really hard to imagine that those eyes ever laughed...
My heart still longs for him, even after he murdered Shisui right before me.
I sit there, on a tall sycamore tree, over looking all of Konoha and right above the academy.
"Akarai..." I hear my mother call from the branch below me. She climbs onto the same branch as me and forces a smile. "Please, join us. You havent visited us for quite a while now, and Ayame wishes to see you. Wont you see even your sister?"
I remained silent for a while.
"I love him, mother..."
"I know sweetie."
"He killed Shisui, but I still love him."
"I know, sweetie. I know."
"Does he not love me anymore?"
"Akarai, honey, youre d-"
"I will be with him forever. I will follow him to the end of the earth, because I love him and he loved me..."
With that I jumped of the tree, leaving my mother up there, shaking her head sadly.
I didnt want to hear what she had to say.
I breathed as I ran past the bodies strewn all over the Uchiha Estate.
Red... blood red...
Just the thought of it makes me weak. I hate blood.
I ran to his house, screaming for him, wanting him to respond.
Was he alright?
Is he hurt?
Where is he??
Who could have done such a horrible thing?
Who?
I ran through the doorway and into Itachi's living room, and the answer hit you like a kunai to the heart.
Sasuke, Itachi's adorable little brother, was kneeling, shaking, before his parents stone cold bodies. He was crying, whimpering, and occasionally screaming "No!"
No...
This cant be...
I slowly lifted my eyes to the shadow standing behind the three Uchihas, and took the great mistake of looking into those eyes
His eyes...
I felt as though I was being sucked into a giant vortex of darkness. I landed and fell to my knees, my heart beating dangerously fast...
When I had landed on my knees, the floor beneath me had changed.
Sand... wet, sopping cold sand.
I looked around tentatively, looking for any point of familiarity.
It seemed just so familiar too familiar.
The water was crashing onto the icy, rocky beach not three feet away.
The noise was deafening.
I walk about aimlessly, trying to figure where I was.
Panic overcame me, starting in the depths of my midsection, and soaring up wards, alternating between extreme heat and a cold that made the frozen wind seem like a summer breeze.
This...
My ears had grown accustomed to the roaring wind, and between each breath, I heard crying.
Crying.
I turned to face all directions, trying to locate the noise.
And as if out of nowhere, an image appeared before me.
Three people. Two boys, and a girl.
This is...
The girl wasnt moving. She just laid there with senbon protruding from every single vital spot.
The there was one boy that kneeled by the girl, sobbing softly the other just stood there, exhuming no emotion at all.
Beyond tears...
Please stop...
Fear paralyzed me as the memories of long, long ago came flooding back...
And as sudden as I was pulled into the illusion, I was pushed back out.
I landed there, cold and still shivering from the beaches of ice...
But that wasn't all...
I felt eyes upon me. Watching me...
Like minutes, or was it hours?, before, I looked up, once again...
He wasn't looking past... me he wasn't looking through me...
He was looking directly at me...
His eyes no longer icy as they were for the past few months
I stood up slowly, and took a step toward him...
Confused...
I walked tentatively toward him, reaching out my hand.
He closed his eyes and seemed to choke on a cry...
Bewildered...
With my paper white fingers, I gently caressed his cheek...
His eyes enlarged as he continued to gape at me...
Scared...
He jolted, tearing his eyes away from me. He stepped away from me and closed his eyes, covered his ears with his hands, and shook his head, whispering...
"Shes not there... Shes not really there..."
"Itachi..." I whisper, trying to calm him down...
That did it. He flipped backwards to the window and jumped out of it
I ran to window to see him leap from rooftop to rooftop.
Without thinking I followed...
"Itachi!!" I scream at his shrinking back.
He doesnt listen to me and keeps on walking, vanishing into the crescent moon.
"ITACHIII!!" I scream again, my voice cracking.
I make to run after him, to follow his bloody footsteps...
...to be with him.
But I am stopped by invisible walls. I am held back by invisible bonds to Konoha. I have to stay within these gates, the gates that he had just walked out of.
These past two months, I have walked through everything, I wandered free. I drifted through walls to see him, my love, sleep.
I had gone through everything, done things, and been places here in Konoha I never dreamed of being able to do.
But I'm trapped here in Konoha.
Slowly, I turned my back of his retreating figure, and leaned against the one wall I could not cross.
Tears formed once more, and I did nothing to stop them from coming.
My head fell against the invisible barrier, turning slightly to the right, and pearlescent tears roll freely down my cheeks.
Through my blinding tears, light shone through my crystal tears...
I make a minimal effort to clear my tears to see where the light could have come from, in the dead of the night.
On top of the hill, was a single pillar of marble, illuminated by the light...
Impulsively, I run to it.
Why? You ask.
Even I dont know... That marble pole lured me there, perhaps...
I stumble past what seemed like a mile of trees, ran up the steep hill, and collapse at the base of the rose marble.
Written on it was what I am...
Red Trust... Akarai...
I struggled to get to my feet, trembling enormously.
I leaned on my headstone for support, and for the first time, in a long, a long, long time, I felt pain.
I looked at my hand, where drops of bloods ran down my life line, then at my grave marker for what had possibly hurt me, even after I had passed away.
A single blood red rose...
In death love had hurt me...
I turned and faced the moon, where I had last seen him, his faintest silhouette still standing there...
Uchiha Itachi... I love you too...
...Are you listening?
...I love you...
>>PLEASE GO TO RESULTS!!>>
>>[Some seriously fun stuff there...]>>
I found this VERY amusing...
1.) Itachi's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
2.) Itachi does not sleep. He waits.
3.) Itachi does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Itachi goes killing.
4.) Itachi counted to infinity - twice.
5.) Itachi sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled Sharigan ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Itachi kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.
6.) If you can see Itachi, he can see you. If you can't see Itachi you may be only seconds away from death.
7.) When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Itachi.
8.) Itachi is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.
9.) When Itachi sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Itachi has not had to pay taxes ever.
10.) Itachi has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life there.
11.) Itachi can touch MC Hammer.
12.) Itachi sleeps with a night light. Not because Itachi is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Itachi.
13.) To prove it isn't that big of a deal to beat cancer. Itachi smoked 15 cartons of cigarettes a day for 2 years and aquired 7 different kinds of cancer only to rid them from his body by flexing for 30 minutes.
14.) A blind man once stepped on Itachi's shoe. Itachi replied, "You, who have never measured your own capabilities; had no idea of Itachi's." The mere mention of his name cured this man blindness. Sadly the first, last, and only thing this man ever saw, was a fatal Kick delivered by Itachi.
15.) They once made a Itachi toilet paper, but it wouldn't take shit from anybody.
16.) Itachi ordered a Big Mac at Burger King, and got one.
17.) Itachi once ate three 72 oz. steaks in one hour. He spent the first 45 minutes making out with his waitress.
18.) Itachi appeared in the "Street Fighter II" video game, but was removed by Beta Testers because every button caused him to do a kick, insta killing all players.
19.) Achilles was supposedly the greatest warrior of all time, but he died because of his weak spot, the Achilles tendon. There is no Itachi tendon.
20.) If Itachi is late, time better slow the fuck down.
21.) According to Einstein's theory of relativity, Itachi can actually roundhouse kick you yesterday.
22.) Itachi died ten years ago, but the Grim Reaper can't get up the courage to tell him.
XD! XP! =D! =P! ^^! ^.^! >.< !
I found that really funny. I didn't think of this so I claim no credit.
