Water, like plastic sheets, folded over sickly blue, hollowed-out cheekbones, like gills.

It was the rain that did it, made Itachi look vulnerable. Just a look, really. Just the impression that maybe he was human after all.

Through the sheets of rain the sun hid, cast in the grey, wind-swept sky, it glinted at the edges.

It was just a second. Just one moment when the horror of Itachi's monstrous power faded in the presence of his blood-red eyes. His downcast face, awash in drops of cold rain running down his face, like tears - like a kind of porcelain doll.
