a/n: This is a new story I thought of one day but I didn't know exactly where to start it until a couple of weeks ago and I've also been procrastinating with it for a few weeks, and also school has taken up most of my time to write but I hope you enjoy this story.

edit: added a few little more details here and there.

Aged Love

Chapter 1: A Dream, A New Town, and a New School

In Konoha history two families have always stood beside each other, fighting in wars together, having fun together, even serving each other way before their families even became friends.

Some years back one of the families decided it was time for them to move on to a bigger city. Leaving behind the other one in Konoha where their family had and would continue to live forever.

Now one member of that family that moved away is moving back to their old home. Even after all this time their families had stayed friends with the other and they have allowed her to live with them while she goes to school there.


I lay on the cold cave floor, wounded and dying. Crimson liquid flowing slowly from my wounds, but its my own fault that this is happening. And now I'm slowly losing my life.

I looked over at the cave entrance and see him there. The love of my life, even when I'm dying I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Itachi." I said, relieved that he was going to be with me in my final moments of life. I tried to sit up to see him better but I cringed when I felt a sharp pain shoot through my body, so I laid back down against the cold stone floor.

He looked over at me with sadness in his eyes. I knew he saw that I was hurt and in pain. He ran over and knelt down next to me. Taking my hand in his.

"Irami, you're hurt." he said to me with a look of sadness in his eyes still.

"Yeah, I know, Itachi-kun." I told him and sighed. I didn't like to see him sad like this, especially for me. "But it's my own fault."

"No, it's not." he said to me, squeezing my hand gently and kissing the back of it. I smiled at him, he always knew how to make me smile, even in the worst of time.

It's my fault. I should've protected you more." he said, placing a hand on my cheek. "Let's take you home."

"No, Itachi." I said to him, shaking my head at him. I took a deep breath and starting to struggle to speak.

"N-no, I-Itachi-k-kun. I-I w-won't m-make it h-home." I told him.

"But Irami--" he was starting to say to me as he looked down. I knew he was about to start crying. And over me of all people.

"I-Itachi, p-please d-don't c-cry." I asked him, struggling even more with my speech. "I-I d-don't want y-you to. Especially for me." I said to him. Placing my hand on his cheek. "I-it ruins y-your h-handsome f-face, I-Itachi-kun."

"I-I know, but what am I supposed to do without you. You're the love of my life. I'll never love another person like I love you." he told me. I knew he wasn't trying to make me cry but I still did.

"I-I d-don't know…I-I d-don't kn-know what I-I w-would do if I-I l-lost y-you either. B-but promise m-me y-you'll t-try to f-find l-love a-again. E-even i-if i-it's n-not as st-strong as o-our l-love f-for each o-other." I told him. He was the only son of the Uchiha royal family. I couldn't let them die out.

He sighed. "I know…I just don't know what to do. I promise I will try my hardest to love again but I don't think I can ever love someone else as much as I do you. My heart belongs to you." he told me, I knew he'd keep his promise, he always did. No matter how heartbreaking they were too keep to him, but he still did.

I smiled at him. "G-good…I-I kn-know y-you w-won't. I-I l-love y-you, I-Itachi-kun."

"I love you too, Irami-chan. And I always will. As long as I live." he said back to me. He gathered me up in his arms, leaning over and kissed me deeply.

'Goodbye my love.' I thought to myself, kissing him back as best as I could. I felt a single tear fall from my eye because I knew this was the last time he would ever kiss me. 'I wish…I wish I would've told him.'



She sat in the back of the car look out the window. Not realizing that someone was calling her name, so she didn't answer. She was too caught up in her own thoughts to notice someone calling her name.

"Irami!" the woman in the front seat called her name again, but louder than before to get her attention. This time it was successful at dragging her out of her thoughts. Irami blinked a few times and then looked over at her mother.

"What?" she said to her as an answer. She ran her hand through her raven black locks, raking her fingers through it

She had long dark hair, like a raven's feathers, and the same colored eyes. Everybody at her old school thought that she wore contacts, well everybody except one person her best friend who had the same colored eyes as her, apparently it runs in both their families. But anyway, when she told them it was her natural eye color they treated her like she was a freak, even her friends treated her like she was the out cast. Well every friend but him, Seiji. He had just moved there and was treated differently because of his eye color as well. So they banned together. But now she was moving to Konoha where he family originally lived before they moved to Tokyo. The only thing she would miss would be Seiji.

"Were you daydreaming back there, Irami-chan?" her mother asked her.

Irami sighed quietly to herself, turning back to the window watched as the scenery outside the car go by. "No…I was just think about this weird dream I had last night. I can't get it out of my head."

"What was it about, honey?" she asked her, which annoyed Irami to no end when her mother tried to pry.

" 'Kaa-chan, you know I don't like talking about my dreams with anybody." Irami complained to her. Ever since she was a little girl she never liked telling people about her dreams, especially her mother, even if they were nightmares and scared her. She always kept quiet about them.

"Irami-chan, please just tell me." her mother pleaded to her and as usual whenever her mother begged like that, Irami gave into her and told her, every single detail about her dream. And I mean everything.

"Hmmm, that's interesting. It sounds like a story I heard when I was a little girl about our ancestors and the Uchiha's ancestors, Ira-chan." her mother told her after she had finished explaining her dream to her. Irami was curious and slightly confused. She has never heard a story about her ancestor before. So why was she all of a sudden dreaming about one?


The rest of the ride to the school was quiet. Irami just stared out the window of the car, thinking. Thinking of how she could possibly dream about something she's never even heard before.

She lost her train of thought when she saw the school that she would be going to for her senior year, Mangekyou High School, the most exclusive private school in Konohagakure. It was a huge school with three separate buildings to it. And a fourth on that said "Library" on it.

'Wow. This place is huge. It's way bigger than my last school.' Irami thought to herself as she started taking her bags out of the trunk of the family car.

"Well, that's everything." her mother told her as she took the last of Irami's bags out of the back of the car and closed it. "This is your new school. I'll go find Itachi-san and tell him you're here."

"Itachi?" Irami asked, blinking bewildered by her and disbelieving what she heard. Somebody actually had the same name as the man who was in her dream.

"Hai. Uchiha Itachi. He'll be your new guardian while you stay here. He's a teacher at the school. I pretty sure you'll have him for your Language Arts class." her mother answered her, glancing of at the clock on the middle of the main school building. "And since school seems to be almost over for the day why don't you go hang out there. And I'll go to tell Itachi where he can find you when he goes to leave the school.

"I see." Irami said while nodding her head and sighing. She turned away from her mother picked up her two purple suitcases and her backpack with her school materials in it and started walking toward the library.
