Before It Ends (Itachi x Akatsuki x Reader)

Y/n’s past is buried deep, a secret she’s desperate to keep hidden. Choosing to join the Akatsuki was her decision—one born from necessity, not chance. Now, she’s caught in a world of dangerous missions, shifting alliances, and even more dangerous people. As bonds form and feelings stir, she finds herself drawn to one member in particular—Itachi Uchiha. But with her own demons threatening to resurface, can Y/n allow herself to trust anyone? Or will the darkness she’s running from consume everything she’s built?
