Rain. Cold rain. It was the only thing you could see at this moment. Still it didn't bother you. It felt nice to your skin. Washing away the blood on your body, on your face. Even trying to wash away the pain... Small trail of blood stained the stone under you as the rain cleaned it away, letting it spread further. Even when the rain was cleaning the blood over you it did not clear away the pain. Pain of dying. The deep wound on your chest couldn't be healed. They couldn't save you anymore even if they would find you before you would die. You had failed the Akatsuki. You had failed them after all these years of service.. You lost in a battle against your enemy.

You weren't sad because you were dying. Even when tears started to fall you knew you weren't sad because it would all end here. You were sad because you wanted to see him one last time. Those cold, dark eyes that had changed after these years. Now they were softer, gently towards you. You desperately wanted to see him one more time just to know he was on your side even that small moment when all turned colorless in your eyes and faded away. You didn't know what would await you in the end. No one did. They always said the dead would go in a better place. Oh how much you hoped it was true. Even when you two never admit your love to each other, you both knew the truth behind those mysterious eyes, that rare, beautiful smile. He didn't  have to say it aloud. You two had never kissed but it didn't bother you. Only his presence was enough to make you feel comfortable.

You were the only one who was able to see those dark, deep eyes behind the blood red ones he kept as a barrier. Even when he thought it would not let anyone trough it. When he still wanted to carry his dark past alone. He never cried but inside he was already pleading to death.  
You closed your eyes unable to open them anymore. You were too tired. Maybe you would wake up in a better life. Maybe you could finally forget it all. The guilty that you never said it aloud.
"I love... you", you whispered with your last strength and smiled one last time.
"I know..." you suddenly heard a voice next to you. You forced your eyes open looking him in disbelieve. He really had come. You felt him lifting you to his arms. Even with your blurry vision you could see his suffering as he looked at you. You smiled sadly, still happy that you could see him before the end.

"Forgive me. I couldn't save you", you heard his words, full of sorrow. You had never seen him cry and you knew he wouldn't cry now either.
'You saved me already', you thought, unable to say it aloud. You felt small pressure on your lips and realized he had pressed his soft lips on yours. You closed your eyes one last time, enjoying the feeling that soon faded to long waited darkness. You really did get to kiss him once in your life. Maybe life had forgiven you all of your faults. Maybe it gave light to the darkness in the end no matter how dark was the beginning.
Your consciousness fade little by little but in your thought you could still see the lonely eyes of Uchiha Itachi. Behind all the weaknesses you were strong enough to force a smile to your face and die with it in the very end .

'I'm sorry', was your last though before your heart beat that one last time.
Well, that was a short one ._. I had a strange inspiration to write something like this but I also knew it would be hard to make it a long one so here it is, hope you like it ^^ Comments are always appreciated!
