[Naruto, Itachi] If I Were Alive (Original Title: People, Alive...)

Maybe I still haven't found the meaning of life,

but ever since I met you,

I've had more than enough reason to keep living.

Why do people live?

So many people claim they live for others,

but aren't they all really living for themselves?

The only difference is this:

some people live for their desires,

while others live for their happiness.

I'm glad I'm the latter.

Itachi, oh, Itachi,

not everyone can see your kindness,

and not everyone can understand your excuses.

I know how your story ends.

I only want to protect you

before that cold, stubborn ice is packed firm.

I only want

to help you feel a little more at peace

with this world you don't care to linger in.

When you leave,

I will watch you go without stopping you,

then return to "him"

and continue pursuing my other wish to protect someone.

That will be the bond that remains with me to the end of my life.

An original female protagonist, but the story isn't primarily about romance. I've always felt that Itachi doesn't need love. His concern and devotion to his younger brother are too great, too all-consuming. They fill his heart, leaving him no room to care for other feelings.

You're welcome to check out my new story, In My Next Life, I Want to Be a Man of the Uchiha Clan. It's about transmigration, and exists to change Itachi's fate. You could call it a prequel to this story.
