Rain splashed against the grounds of the earth, so harshly that Izumi woke up with a start to an empty and cold cabin. Her eyes widened in alarm when she didn't feel Itachi beside her, she quickly jumped off the bed but immediately regretted it as the actions of the last time were still taking a toll on her body.
She ignored the pain in her lower body and frantically searched the room and nothing helped her memory, she doesn't remember falling asleep, no! Her plan was quite clear to drug him in the throes of passion or after he gets tired but it feels like an eternity has passed when the realization came, Itachi used one of his genjutsu on her.
That's it! Dammit, how could I be so reckless?
She looked up at that clock and her heart stopped, it was evening, and half-day has passed which means the duel has already taken place.
The kunoichi staggered back, "No.. n-no... No.. He must be outside, h-he can't.. can't... Die". Tears rolled down her cheeks but she did not realize it until her neck became too wet.
She was in terror, she couldn't believe nor did she want to. Her soul still hoped for some kind of loophole or fallacy that he stayed but she knows, she remembers the way he looked at her and faked promising to stay.
Both knew he won't.
So she ran outside in the intense rain to find him, hoping that he would be outside. A specific omen of death lingered in the air once she stepped outside and froze, she felt it, in her gut that it was too late. He's gone.
The rain was pouring harshly, the heavens crying over the tragedy which is Itachi and Izumi. Their love was a tragedy.
"No, NOOO!". She screamed at the top of her lungs, and fell to her knees, clutching onto her chest because it hurt, it hurt so much.
"No..No..." She mumbled, shaking to and fro, her mind was withering away in pain, her heart was turning into pieces of glass on which the rain splashed turning it into the dust which flew away. Her heart was gone. Itachi was gone.
Uchiha Itachi had died in the battle.
The mangekyō sharingan activated instantly once the fact that Itachi is no longer alive settled inside her heart.
She could feel herself falling,
Falling
Falling
Falling
But Itachi wasn't here this time to save her because it was him she was drowning into. It's his scarcity that's suffocating her, it's his cessation that's killing her, it's his sacrifice for the world that's pushing her down,
Down
Down
Down
Itachi made her feel like she was flying in the clear blue sky and without him, she has fallen, fallen so deep that the water is gushing into her system and eradicating her, she was drowning in pain. The pain of loving him.
She loved him and now it's all gone, it's all water, drowning her in it, he was her sky, her air but now it's all gone,
Gone
Gone
Gone
"At least you could have let me down slowly Itachi-kun, but you showed no compassion... Not even a little bit". She cried, drenched in the pain of the rain that cried with her and for what is awaiting her.
Pain spread like fire in her chest, mind-numbing pain that took out her breath, she was struggling for air- for the sky when she felt the blood ooze out of her heart, quite literally. Droplets of blood mixed with rainwater dripped down her mouth as she comprehended this deception.
"Wha... " She didn't feel any chakra, no presence, who is it.
She could have tried to fight back but there was no sky to reach, it was all dark and she welcomed it. She closed her eyes as the sky fell, swallowing her into it too.
"I don't need you anymore Uchiha Izumi". The old and gruff voice snapped open her eyes in shock, "I kept you alive for my needs but now that Itachi is dead so is the purpose of you, now you'll join his cause by letting Uchiha Sasuke trip off the edge once he gets to know that he did not just lose one person he loves, but two".
Uchiha Obito's menacing Sharingan shone in the darkness of his orange mask whilst his hand brutally pushed out the katana from her heart, watching her near lifeless body fall to the ground.
"I will unite you with Itachi in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, now begone".
Izumi coughed out blood, her eyes blurring out her surroundings from the loss of too much blood. Her heart rate was declining at a faster rate but the fact that now it's been confirmed that Itachi is dead hurts more than the wound itself.
However, out of the misery of his love she thought that death was better, entirely forgetting about Sasuke. He needed her, even if he pretends not to but it's too late now, her life is running out of her hands.
Far in the silence, everything was being watched by a crow welding the sharingan of the late Uchiha Shisui, even if the crow was following the orders from the late master he could sense that approaching the girl would be very bad. So he watched constantly how life was running out of her until their eyes connected.
The abilities of the sharingan activated on its own once Izumi looked into it.
Itachi knew he wouldn't come, the battle with Sasuke would be his last battle but still, there was someone he ought to say goodbye to, so he indicated his crow to deliver his message through genjutsu which activates from just one look by Izumi.
The only place he could say goodbye to her was the illusion of his reality since he has left his verity, already.
Loving anyone in this cursed shinobi world was a losing game, and Itachi and Izumi lost their war for love.
