Standing in front of his grave, your eyes watered slowly as the shivering of your body began to overcome your senses. Collapsing to your knees, you cried out a loud sob.

-+- two years ago -+-

"We have a new member to the Akatsuki. Her name is Y/n L/n, treat her with some humanity."

Konan, Kisame, Zetsu, Hidan, and Kakuzu watched as the young female was standing next to Pain. Itachi was to busy looking over at the window of the ruined place they had decided on meeting at.

Your s/t face was slightly covered with the added hood over your head. The only thing they could see was your plump/thing lips.

A sly smirk appeared on the Jashin-obsessed man. His hands grabbed his skythe, mercilessly swinging it upon towards your head. A clank followed it as it stabbed Kakuzu's expensive rug, but not the red fluid they were all so familiar with.

"That was quite rude, Hidan." you said softly, finally taking off the hood from her face. It revealed those e/c eyes that glowed despite the darkness of the dimmed lit room.

Itachi's eyes finally looked over at you, both of your eyes meeting. You didn't show a trace of a smile. Which wasn't a surprise, almost every member he's seen have been scarred.

"Dammit, Hidan, I swear I'll kill you for stabbing this rug...." Kakuzu growled, grabbing the man's hair and pulling him outside of the broken door. "KAKUZU YOU F*CKING C*NT I'M GOING TO F*CKING MURDER YOU TO IN THE NAME OF JASHIN!!!!-"

"You'll be partnered up with Itachi and Kisame." Pain told you, in return your head nodding slightly as you looked away from his stare.

Kisame smirked as a harsh pat being placed upon your back. "Nice of you to join us, Y/n. You're going to need a code name, though. Just call me Kisame, though. And this guy-" he said, looking over at him.

"-Itachi." he finished for the shark-look alike, who chuckled. "Nice to meet you two." you said, walking towards the door. Both men looked at each other before following you towards the outdoors.

-+-

They both found out your special skill in of using your katana with extordinary speed and taijustsu. Kisame ended up calling her "Red Bullet."

"Not...to bad..." the guy next to him said, Itachi's chest rising at normal paces. Kisame walked away, leaving the two of them alone. You simply cracked her spine by giving it a swift twist on each side.

"You."

Looking over at her, Itachi stayed quiet.

"You're Itachi Uchiha. The one who killed all the Uchihas." you said, her eyes staring in to his once again. He nodded, raising an eyebrow. "Why does that interest you? I did what I had to do." Itachi told her. Y/n smiled ever so little, her katana stabbing the ground.

"It interests me because of...why you murdered them. The Hokage hid something, and I want to know what. I'm an ex-ANBU who works out of Konoha to do other dirty jobs assigned." she said, his hairs on the back of his neck rising.

"Y/n isn't your real name then." he said in a deep voice. After all, if she was an actual ANBU, then they would use a new name to hide her real identity. Shaking her head, Red Bullet walked closer to him. "You don't remember me because I wasn't living in Konoha. I lived in a city a little close to a mile away, my family selling fish from their harbor. Until I killed them too, that is..."

"Ah, so you murdered your family just like Itachi did. A true copycat you are," Kisame said, holding three water bottles. Her smile dissapeared, or rather a look of sorrow hidden behind her intimidating expression. "Yeah, say it like that Shark Face."

Itachi glared slightly at Kisame, shark teeth showing while he handed him a water.

"Well, we have a mission tomorrow. Better rest up, cutey."

-+-

"This is your tent." the long haired main told you, handing you a thin green layer of what was supposed to be your shelter. Keeping it anyways, you walked past him, a gentle graze on both you and him.

"So why did you," Itachi said, unloading his own tent. Looking back at him, a slight burning sensation came from your throat.

The memories...

"They made me. I was taken hostage by a gang, who then abandoned me after using my own family's skill against them. They were bigger, and at the time stronger. It was either that or they would kill the whole village. At the age of six, it was hard for me to kill my own mother. The one who kept me in her womb.

Eventually they tortured me after, abandoning me in front of Konoha gates hoping they would bury my corpse. But thanks to an ANBU, I was taken to the emergency room. I don't know why those cruel people chose me, but there's no mistake I was only a simple being they could easily maneuver to their liking because of the fact I was naive but stronger than the rest of those poor defenseless villagers."

The last rustling of the nail pressing in to the moist dirt squeaked. Your body sat down on to the ground, looking up at the sky. "Kind of stupid of me, wasn't it? Maybe I should've-" you said, pausing.

You've only met this man in almost a day. And yet, you were telling him your whole life story. Shutting your mouth, you looked down.

"Forgive me for my blabbering." you whispered, clenching your fist around some grass.

A thump was placed next to you. Itachi pulled out a small photo, showing you it. "You can tell me anything. I won't tell anyone." he mumbled, your eyes widening at his rather weaker side of his self proclaimed persona. Closing it again, the photo was gone like his warmth was. But not the feeling that you could trust him.

He stood up, walking back to his tent.

One Year Later

-+-

"Sasuke Uchiha has killed Orochimaru..." you heard Itachi lowly say not to far away from you. At the moment, you, Kisame, and him were off of missions for the day. So it left you with you with only training to do. Time has passed by, and all three of you were beginning to bond in a harsh, but still almost normal way.

But maybe Itachi was the closest to you. You looked over at him, not bothering to say anything. Or rather, you were to busy looking at his face. With the fact time has passed by, you began to feel a....warmth in your cold heart. As if he was lighting something up from you. Itachi did not know about your liking of him; you usually acted like a neutral person like him.

He looked up from the kunai he was staring at, meeting your eyes instead. Not even blinking you looked away, walking over to him and looking up at the clouds. "Sorry I'm interrupted your alone time." you said, his hum echoing in the forest. Sunset.

"The clouds look like cirrus clouds; nice and wispy." you told him, sitting down next to him. "I remember looking up to them as a young teen."

Itachi's lips moved in an ever so small smile to see your eyes looking up at the sky. "Yes, they are..." he whispered, looking up as well. While that was happening, both of you went to lean back, only to somehow bump your heads. Looking at each other, you smiled softly as you moved your head to lay in the grass next to him. He joined down on the earthy soil with you. It was peaceful almost, despite everything happening.

Pein dying, Konan going missing. Everything was hectic. Obito had told everyone to begin finishing the hunt of the jinchuris. Taking in a deep breath, your closed your eyes. You could feel yourself falling more, and more asleep...until Itachi began to have another loud coughing fit.

"I-Itachi!" you whispered softly, immediately sitting up and placing a hand on his back. He stopped coughing, only to leave a small puddle of blood. "I'm fine, thank you." Itachi told you, gently moving your hand from his back. He laid back down, just as you did too before closing your eyes once again.

"Y/n."

Opening your e/c eyes, you turned your head to him, meeting his face as well.

"Itachi?"

He smiled wider(though, not much) looking down at your lips.

"Nothing." he said, before closing his eyes and moving his head. Blushing lightly, you scooted closer to him, placing your forehead on his shoulder secretly.

"Alright..." you whispered, finally falling asleep to the rise and downfall of his body.

-+-

Sunrise?

Opening your eyes, you felt Itachi's body already gone. You slowly sat up to realize you weren't even on the grass anymore. In fact...

it was Itachi's bed.

"Itachi?" you called out, noticing you were fully clothed. Nothing had a sign of him touching you anywhere, so that was fine. Walking out his room, you in fact noticed everyone but Zetsu out the lair of the Akatsuki. Or, to say, White Zetsu.

He was staring at you, a weird smile on his face. "Ah, you've woken up. I shouldn't be looking for that crow guy, mostly because he's bleeding to death right now." White Zetsu said, your body freezing in confusion. Keeping on a serious, stern face you glared at him. "Dying, you say?" you asked in the most monotone way you could. He nodded, leaning back in the wall and slowing sinking into it.

"Yep. Sasuke and him are fighting about a couple of miles away..."

-+-

Kisame laughed as Suiegetsu was swinging his old executioner sword at him. It was around an hour; he knew that Itachi would be dead. Everyone knew that his days were numbered with his illness.

Suddenly, Karin noticed a chakra coming towards the area at very high speeds. "There's someone-"

WHOOSH.

Your figure incredibly zoomed past her, tripping her from the speed in which you past her. Groaning, Karin stood up, watching the leaves blow past her face.

All was silent. Kisame heard your scream as the rain began.

Itachi Uchiha had finally been taken down.

+

"ITACHI!" you shouted, noticing him laying on the ground. Sasuke seemed to be gone. You watched as he opened his eyes, smiling at you. "W-Why are you here..." he croaked, only to widen his eyes to notice you were crying. He frowned, trying to sit up. However, he failed, slumping back down.

You rushed to him. "No, no no no no no..." you whispered, sitting down and placing his head on your lap. "You can't leave me, Itachi! Please don't leave! Please..." you whimpered, the softer side of you taking over as you tears touched his face.

Slowly, his hand lifted up to caress your cheek. "Don't cry for me, Y/n..." he cooed, noticing you to hold back a loud sob, trembling with all your might.

"Don't you get it, Uchiha? I love you. I...I'm sorry I never told you this but it's true!" you yelled out loud.

Staring into each other's eyes, his eyes started to water up...surprisingly.

"You are the second person I love in this word. I'll see you in the afterlife...maybe.."

In desperation, you crashed your lips onto his. Itachi could barely move against yours, his mouth soft and gentle against your rough ones. After a second, you released the kiss slowly, moving the hairs out of his face.

Closing his eyes, you released a loud sob, screaming again and leaning forwards to place your forehead on his. "Itachi....I'll see you soon, I swear I'll see you again!"

Before his last and final breath, he moved your hand to touch his lips.

"..."

You cradled his limo body against yours until Kisame came to carry you away by forcing you off of him.
