Let You Go
By Elli Cole
Itachi x Sakura
Like the usual cat and mouse scenario, he saw himself as the predator.
He sprinted towards her with an eerie sense of satisfaction as fear registered in her eyes. She weakly ran away, her sobs escaped her lips and reached his ears. Wasn't she happy? He killed—just for her.
She should be happy, he grinned as he appeared in front of her. She recoiled in shock and anger as she jumped away from him with a shout. She stood there, shivering and flushed, and he thought that she looked beautiful with her unusual pink hair askew from her headband and her emerald eyes red, brimming with tears.
"I hate you!" She screeched and huffily went to her fighting stance.
He looked at her and laughed.
It surprised her and a strangled gasp escaped her lips. Uchiha Itachi was laughing. This calm, expressionless man was laughing at Sakura. This was not what she had expected for this mission.
She didn't expect herself to live either.
"What is so funny?" She asked irately and thought of a plan to escape.
"You," he answered with a smirk. "Sakura-chan, are you not pleased with this outcome?"
She blinked and growled. "Why the heck would I be pleased, Itachi?" She screamed. "You killed your own brother!"
"Ah, but you forget, I killed my clan first." He airily replied. "Killing my brother was just as easy."
"You—you bastard!" She seethed and lunged towards him, a chakra-fueled fist took aim at him. "I hate you!"
She cried when he took a hold of her fist easily before it came in contact with his body. He squeezed harshly at her hand and smiled down at her gravely as she winced in pain.
"Do you not want to be with me?"
She closed her eyes tightly and whispered softly, "Itachi… please… kill me…"
"I thought you loved me, Sakura-chan," he continued blankly. "That's why I killed them."
"… just kill me…"
"Just for you, Sakura-chan," he smiled at her, red eyes blank from emotion. "I killed them."
She sobbed and slid down on her knees, Itachi's hand enveloped her own hands as she limply sat there. Pictures of her friends appeared in her mind and she cried uncontrollably. Kakashi—his bloody body strewn across the moving current of the river—was dead. Naruto—now at the hands of the Akatsuki—laid dead and cold for them to finally bask in their victory. Sasuke—sat still on a trunk—his eyes open and red, empty and dead.
"Please kill me." She whispered so softly. She wished Itachi heard her because in that moment of insanity, he took her in his arms and smiled.
"Now that you're mine," he activated his sharingan. "I'm not planning to let go."
oOo
End Note: Okay, something different. Thought of doing something like this as a short drabble. Just a drabble. So, please review. More to come. :3
