Angel, a Drabble

ItaIzu, SasuSaku, ItaSaku (only if you squint)

He missed her

It was always hard not to think about her. Especially the way her dark eyes glistened at the sight of him.

Izumi really was something else. It's such a shame as considering she still has a hold over Itachi, even to this day.

Itachi could never stop the thought of her from popping in his head.

Emotionally cutting himself off from the rest of the world was exhausting for a dying a man.

On a rare occasion Itachi wanted his body just to give in to his disease but no he had hold on to this life for as much as he could, so he could give his little brother the fight he has been waiting for. Nonetheless Itachi wouldn't have to wait much longer, his time was nearly up.

Itachi was jealous of Sasuke, that foolish little brother of his was going have a full life ahead of him, Sasuke didn't have pain of being first born, the prodigy clan heir. While Sasuke was talented in his own right and possibly would have lead a similar life to his but Itachi accomplishments always outweighed Sasuke. Certainly the attention of their father, Fugaku Uchiha.

So at the same time Itachi was more than happy that Sasuke was going to live a full life.

He just wished it hadn't turned out like this. The Massacre, Sasuke encountering Orochimaru, Sasuke then turning to the snake sanin. His brother was on a dangerous path and Itachi knew it was partially his fault, Yes Sasuke did make those choices but it didn't stop Itachi punishing himself over it.

The silver lining in Sasuke's life would be those two teammates of his. Itachi had a feeling that they'd be the ones to bring his brother back to his senses. You know after all the damaged he caused to his brother.

Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, they reminded Itachi so much of Shisui and Izumi, it so damn hurt.

Naruto was much like Shisui in personality and spirit.

But as for the girl, she is beautiful, no questioning it. If anything Sakura visually was the complete opposite to Izumi from her pink hair to her green eyes.

Izumi didn't have much of an abrasive side and if she did then she hid it well from Itachi but he could tell Sakura cared for Sasuke, he looked in on his brother from time to time from his limited time in the leaf village during the exams.

Sure, Sakura had been like the other girls but she was 12 at the time, it be strange if a 12 year old didn't behave like that for someone they had feelings for. Though what made Sakura truly stand out from the other girls was how she looked at his brother, she looked at Sasuke the same way Izumi looked him.

It was her eyes, he missed most of all. They held him in such a presence that Itachi could never logically explain to himself.

However if he had to describe it, It was almost like an Angel looking at him, somehow seeing him through all the good, the bad and the ugly.

Itachi was purely curious that if Sakura would look at him the way Izumi had. If the scenario had ever presented itself.

Or perhaps she was just an angel only meant for Sasuke.

Now once again, Itachi was jealous of Sasuke.
