Ok so this is MAJOR spoilers warning. This is probably one of the few, if there are anymore, fanfic that follow the story closely. I read the Manga so if you don't and don't want parts ruined for you leave now please. And don't get mad at me. This has been stuck in my head and I really want to write it.
Itachi may seem out of character but to me he isn't. you'll understand at some point, I think...lol.

Chapter 1

Itachi lay quietly watching the light of the moon move slowly across the floor. The glow of the silver orb softly lit up the face of the sleeping angel next to him. Honey brown hair streamed across the pillow, partially hiding the hand curled under her cheek. Dark eyelashes sat gently against rosy pink cheeks. They fluttered slightly as she sighed softly and moved closer to the warm body next to her.

Reaching out gently, Itachi ran his hand down her arm, lightly caressing her skin. She shivered and moved closer, causing some stray hairs to fall upon her face. His hand came back up and he gently swept away the few stray hairs. Her forehead wrinkled into a furrow and amber eyes blinked up at him. She blushed prettily and lashes dropped down shyly.

"Hi." She whispered softly. Itachi smiled at her and cupped her cheek before softly kissing her.

"So many months with me and you are still so shy." He said softly. She smiled back and wrinkled her nose at him. He gently kissed the tip with a chuckle and sighed as she cuddled closer, tucking her head beneath his chin.

"What are you thinking about Itachi? You aren't usually up so late."

"I am just watching you sleep." He whispered. She smiled against his chest. Since she had first joined Akatsuki she had been drawn to the dark brooding male. After a few weeks of knowing each other she had come to find he was just as drawn to her.

She felt his fingers run softly across her cheeks, then down her arms to her hand where his fingers entwined with hers. Gently he drew her hand up until he could softly kiss the back of her knuckles.

"You should return to sleep my sweet Amaterasu. You need your rest."

"What of you?"

"If you sleep I will sleep." She smiled again and kissed him gently.

"Oyasuminasai Itachi-kun. Die ski."

"Die ski Rasu-chan. Sweet dreams."

…..

The next morning Amaterasu woke up to find Itachi's spot empty except for a beautiful red rose. She smiled slightly and picked up the delicate blossom to press her nose to the soft petals. It was a message to her that he was called away. Slowly she rolled over and set the rose on the bedside table. Groaning. She slowly sat up and stood. She then donned some clothes and put on her Akatsuki cloak. It was far too big for her. Large enough to hide her body, which was what they wanted.

She walked out of her room and moved to the stairs before starting a careful descent. Before she was halfway down a pain shot through her abdomen. Gasping, she stopped and placed a gentle hand on her stomach. As she stayed paused on the stairs the other Akatsuki members exited one of the internal rooms and filed by the bottom of the stairs. As Itachi came into view he paused and looked up at her. After waving Kisame away he walked up the stairs to stand in front of her.

She smiled as he stood three steps below her which made them eye level to each other. His dark worried gaze searched her soft slightly strained face.

"What's wrong?" He asked softly. She reached out and lightly brushed some of the bangs out of his eyes.

"Everything it fine, nothing out of the ordinary."

"But…"

"Just a small pain Itachi-kun. I'm fine." He moved up another step.

"You have to leave don't you?" She said softly. He looked around to make sure no one was watching before scooping her up into his arms and carrying her back up the path she had just taken. As he entered he set her on the floor and shut the door behind them. She stepped close to him and he pulled her into his arms, gently kissing her lips.

"He's come for me Amaterasu." He replied in a gentle voice. Her breath left her like she had been kicked in the stomach.

"Then…"

"Yes. I will go out to meet him. I can't risk anything else. I have to know he is strong enough."

"But…"

"This is the way it has to be Rasu-chan. I don't have a choice. Someone needs to be strong enough to fight back and this is the only way."

"Itachi." He leaned down and kissed her again, an urgent kiss, begging her to understand.

"Please. Please do everything I have told you. It's the only way. We have to end this and only you two can do that."

"You could be cleared. It was never your fault. You were just…"

"I'm their enemy. I would be killed on sight anyway. You two have the only chance. You hold our future. The future of Konoha and our clans." She clutched at his cloak and rested her head against his chest.

"I can't lose you. You created the hatred inside him so he would destroy you. I can't lose you now. Not with…"

"Rasu stop it." Itachi pulled her away from him and stared down at her tear filled eyes. His eyes softened and he gently kissed her forehead. "I'll come back. Some way I'll come back."

"Not if you are dead." She said hoarsely. He kissed away her tears and then kissed her lips again.

"There is no guarantee that that will happen." Itachi said softly. She continued to stare up at him as her lips trembled and tears continued to slide down her cheeks. "You remember everything I told you? Everything you must do?" She nodded. He kissed her forehead again and whispered. "I must go now." She nodded her head. He turned and placed his and on the door. She reached out and grabbed his hand.

"Itachi." He turned and quickly kissed her lips before slipping out the door. She didn't stop him again. Just watched his back disappear the stairs.

"Come back to Itachi. That's all I ask." She whispered as her hand touched her stomach and softly closed the door.
