Summery: When he held his daughter's hands, the daughter he once hated so much, he realized, it was the same. Yet different.
Enjoy-
Itachi Uchiha stared at the product of his and his now dead lover's relationship. She stared back at him, with innocent, dark forest green eyes, that seemed to smile at him. He didn't understand it. No matter how ill he treated the child, she always came running back to him. She ran to him when he returned from a mission, just like she did when he was about to depart.
He hated this child. He hated his child, his daughter, Sakura's daughter. He hated her for reminding him of her long dead mother. He hated her for loving him. He hated her for being so naive. He hated her for reasons he himself did not know.
And she knew this. She knew he hated her. But she was not dismayed, it seemed. She still loved him.
It was true, he did not abandon her. He dared not, because despite his hatred, she was still Sakura's child. So he raised her like they had planned from the very beginning, like Sakura had wanted.
And just as he held her hand down the hall, it hit him.
She was like Sakura. Her hands reminded him more then her hair. Her hands, so small, so innocent, were just like hers, fitting into the palm of a murderer's blood stained hands, and yet...
She did not care. She still loved her him. Just like Sakura loved him. It was the same, yet different. It was then, he was glad his hair blocked his face as he wept.
