Author's note: Hi. It's been a while since I've written a story so I think my writing ability has greatly dropped. This story started as a random daydream while riding the train. Also this story was originally not about Naruto and Itachi but then I thought, as I was writing the prologue, that making it one is not a bad idea since I am really into the ItaNaru pairing. Hence this ITANARU fanfic.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto but I own this fanfic's plot and the following characters: Yukio; Akira; and Kisha. Also, I'll be borrowing some events in the original manga/anime but I do not claim ownership over them.

Prologue I

Deep blue eyes weakly gazed at the darkening skies. Just a couple of minutes ago the same skies were filling the earth with a vibrant aura of life but now it's nowhere near that scenic picture. Lids becoming heavier so as his breathing. He knows that definitely this day would come and that there would be no escape. He just did not think that it would come this soon.

With his back against the now wet grass and two swords piercing through his stomach, there would definitely be no escape. Any hope of survival is betrayed by the pool of blood starting to spread.

With a huge amount of effort he turned his gaze to his right and saw his angel running toward his direction while slashing limbs that appeared along the way. His angel... The long haired raven with a pair of obsidian eyes.

Despite the situation, the graceful movements of the raven warrior never fail to captivate him. If this is his last day on earth, then he wouldn't mind leaving with the dazzling image of his lover. He saw the raven's lips move and he knows his love is calling for him. Oh those luscious lips he never failed to devour whenever there is a chance to do so. He smiled weakly at the thought.

Kami-sama if you will allow me to live again in a different life, please make me a woman who can give this angel the life that he deserves. I'd gladly pay whatever price you name.

"Yukio!" Screamed the raven when he finally reached the blond's side. Blood, sweat and tears mixed on the raven's face but in Yukio's eyes his raven is still no less than handsome. With the last bit of life within him he forced his right arm to reach for the raven's face.

"Aki...ra... I love..."

"Shhh. Now is not the time for that let me look for help." The raven was now frantic and hysterical. More tears graced his pale face.

"No... Not this time." Yukio smiled weakly. "Sorry to... leave you..." His hands moved to Akira's quivering lips. "I... I wish to meet...you in another life..."

Yukio can feel the strength leaving his body but he still has a lot to say to his raven angel. To the lover who went against the norm that society dictates just to be with him. The lover who chose a rounin's way of life over being the head of a clan all for love. Ugh life! Too slow when you want it fast. Too fast when you want it to slowdown.

"I... wish I... were a woman. Give you... less tr- trouble and a... family. Sorr- y... Thank..."

Lifeless limbs fell to the damped grass and the mocking silence was broken by a deafening howl of a lover's name.
