(EDITING) The Little Koizumi Girl. *Naruto Fanfiction*

Chapter 3. Firsts?! Goodbye?!

Few months later.

I've started going to the academy (much to my enjoyment. *More time to spend with my friends*) and of course, I am in the same class with my friends.

But aside for me being happy by my friends being my classmates, few things changed.

Father changed.

He was not the same person that smiles at me. The father that hugs me back when I give him a surprise hug.

It just happened day by day.. he became.. uncaring.

He became very strict with formality. The happy environment disappeared. Our house became a home of tension. He is strict with the trainings that I undertake with him. Our bonds of playing and laughing was replaced by bonds of fear and scolding.

It was always training that I became very tired of it. I will learn this stuff in the academy. I will learn some advice and training stuffs with my future sensei. So why bother learning all of this from him. The only time I get free from him is during the academy days and my training session with Itachi-niisan. But sometimes I caught my father looking at me with kind eyes. Maybe he still cares.

There is something wrong with Itachi-nii.

 I don't know what is it.  He is hiding something. It was pretty obvious for me. Some of his gestures told me so. But I just wish that something won't go wrong.

Lastly, Sakura and Ino became fangirls of Sasuke. They were pretty obvious that they cherish Sasuke like he was a God or something. Much to Sasuke's dismay. They were pretty possessive with him. They didn't want girls to be close to Sasuke. Me, included.

"Let's start, Nami." Itachi-nii announced as he pulled out a kunai from his pouch. "Let's review all the things you learned. "

"Okay." I said actively.

Itachi was as close as a sensei to me. My father and him. They train me. Genjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu. It's kind of cool for me to learn in advance those things because when the academy teaches us that, I can laze off and sleep.

"We are finished with your training, Nami. You know everything there is to learn from me. You just have to invent your own jutsus." He told me while he sat at our tree's shadow and leaned his back on the tree.

I walked towards him and went into a crouching position.

"Hey. Hey. Niisan, Do you train Sasuke like me?"

"No." He answered firmly, looking at the ground.

 "Ohhhhhhhhh Okay." I answered, nodding like it was a new information.

'Itachi-nii training his little brother' was not a good idea for him. He changes the subject when he feels like I will open a topic about Sasuke. I know Sasuke is Itachi-nii's weakness. I can see that when he looks at Sasuke when I'm with him.

"Nami, Can I ask you a favor?" He said. 

"Hey!" I cheered standing up, my eyes were practically sparkling as I looked at him.

"Ugh.. What's wrong?" He raised his brows. A sudden wind tousled our hair and made my hair go infront of my face.

"Nothing, nii-san. It's your first time for you asking me a favor. It's always the other way around." I said excitedly and sat at his lap, pulling his hand and played with it. His hand is bigger than mine and it was soft. It wasn't like a ninja's hand. Rough and Callous.

He sighed and rested his chin at the top of my head. "If anything happens, always be there for Sasuke. Okay?" 

"Of course Itachi-nii.Even if you don't say it, I'm always there for Sasuke. He's my bestfriend, remember?" I giggled.
