The Never Ending Cycle Of Trust

Chapter 1: Back To Where It All Began

DISCLAIMER: I don't own naruto or any of the characters/plot in it, but I do own the plot in this story and the added character Nami.

A/N: Sorry for those of you that have read this before but I had to come back and make some changes because I realized that some of it was really off. So here is the new and revised version of chapter 1 so enjoy. Also like some of you might notice I also deleted the old chapters because I had to also revise them to so the story could make sense. I will be putting them back up. Yeah I'm back.

Nami's POV

I was wandering the empty streets in an empty village long forgotten and full of so many old memories that are both blissful and painful. I remember the day that Itachi massacred the whole village except for me.

I remember that he came in like he always does to come and train me like he did every Saturday. I was exited like always to learn some new technique from him. But today more than ever because he was going to teach me how to use the sharingan in genjutsu. He told me "Nami go and stretch and practice first I'll be out there soon. I just need to talk with your mother."

I said cheerfully "ok don't take to long I really want you to teach me how to use the sharingan." and smiled brightly at him he gave a weak smile in reply. He seemed distant as if something was weighing down on him.

Itachi "Now go and train and I promise to teach you a new technique with the sharingan."

I ran to him and hugged him and said "Thanks you're the best." I kissed his cheek and ran outside through the back door. I went to the training ground that wasn't that far from my house. I started to stretch and then remembered that I didn't bring my weapons with me how dumb of me.

I went back to the house I heard things falling I tried to locate the source and where it was. I went to the living room and saw Itachi in front of my mother choking her. Her body fighting for oxygen I looked in her eyes and saw fear, desperation, and most of all confusion as to why he was doing this. My own fear consumed me and I couldn't move I felt like I was the one being chocked. My mother was letting out a lot of choking sounds and finally stopped with one last desperate gasp. Her arms fell limp to her side, her head fell forward her body limp under his grasp. Itachi let her frail body drop to the floor and said "Pathetic."

My heart was racing I just saw him kill my mother with no remorse. My head scream RUN GET OUT BEFORE HE KILLS YOU TOO." I felt all my blood rush to my head. I kept on shaking my head in disbelief. My heart was saying No Itachi wouldn't do something like that he loves me and my family. I wanted to believe that so much but my rational side wouldn't let me it scolded me saying are you blind he just killed our mother without hesitation do you think that someone that loves us and our family would do such a thing. If he is capable of this he certainly wont hesitate in killing you, us too. I let out a desperate gasp tears now running down my cheeks I was now shaking my head more fiercely. I was whispering "no, he wouldn't do this, this just a really bad dream that I need to wake up from."

I heard him say "Nami… you weren't supposed to see this." he said so casually like it was something not out of the ordinary. I stopped shaking my head and looked up to see him approaching me like predator on prey and I was the prey. I looked at his face it held concern.

I said in a shaky voice "You killed her didn't you?" asking my self more than him. I had stopped crying now my eyes now held a distant look. I took his silence as a yes. Itachi kept on coming closer I new if he came any closer I wouldn't be able to escape him. I screamed "GET AWAY FROM ME." and got up started to run to the door I was about to reach the door when I saw a blur out of the corner of my eye. I knew it was him I stopped just in time but ended up falling backwards on my butt he was in front of the door. This time he had a more serious expression on his face. I crawled helplessly backward until I hit a wall my fear of him was still rising.

Itachi moved before I could do anything he was in front of me. He was kneeling on one knee and stretched out his arm and used his hand to cares my cheek. "Nami I didn't want you to see this I didn't want you to hate me, and me fear like they all did. I just wanted you to care for me trust me like you always did." he said it such a calming, soothing, and sad voice that I felt bad for him.

So I told him "Itachi I know I don't hate you but I don't know weather to fear you or not anymore." I started to feel like crying again I tried to hold them back.

Itachi "I'm sorry Nami I didn't want you to fear me." his voice now was nothing more than a whisper.

I said "Then why did you kill her? Why?" sighed "Part of me still thinks you're going to kill me. I know you to well Itachi. So just kill me know."

Itachi "Do you really believe that?"

I said "I don't know what to believe anymore."

Itachi's eyes were glowing red with three black swirls in each eye he had activated his sharingan I did the same "I thought you cared about me you and even trusted me you said you would always help me." his voice was harsh and gaining anger.

I said in a calm and monotone voice "What about you Itachi you promised me you would never hurt me like they all did. Where did that promise go? out the window." my own anger was growing from were this conversation was going.

I pushed him away from me hard enough to make him take a good while to get up which gave enough time to get out. I ran out the front door and got up to full speed which almost matched Itachi's I was stronger than Itachi at my age I'm only 8 and he was 13 (A/N: also if your not good at math that means that they are only 5 years apart so its not that bad at least to me that is). I stopped in my tracks I saw mangled, bloodied bodies all over and the street covered with blood of the people I new, that we new. I was about to scream when I felt someone's soft aggressive hand put over my mouth and there other wrapped around my waist along with both my arms so I couldn't move. He had to lift me up to be able pull it off since I was shorter than him by almost a foot. I new instantly who was holding me in such a tight embrace.

Itachi "I'll let you go if you promise not to scream." I felt tears start to fall down my cheeks so when I nodded a tear had fallen on his hand. I felt him tense up maybe even recoil by that one tear. Before more could fall on his hand he let go of me I gasped for air as I landed on my hands and knees. As soon as I got control over my breathing I turned around and didn't see him but I new that he was still there. Then he appeared in front of me I barely had enough time to react to that all I had time to do was block I closed my eyes and wait for the hit to come. But it never came instead I felt something better said someone's ass on my lap.

He was crouched down and put one finger under my chin but I moved my face away "Did you really think I would hit you?" he said it more of a statement than a question but I interpreted it as a question. He never gave me a chance to respond "Nami I just hope in that time you can forgive me for what I have done, and this." I looked at him confused and I felt something sharp and hard hit the side of my head which caused me to be knocked unconscious.

Itachi's POV:

I came in just like always do but today was way different than the rest because today is the day that they all are going to die except for you and Sasuke. This is a test to see if you can survive on your own without trusting anyone but yourself Nami, and for you Sasuke this is a test to see if you can actually beat me and see if you can over come anger and hate over sanity. But both will probably face the same problem's. This is a lesson that they need to learn even if they are broken in the end which I hope with all my heart wont happen.

I turned my attention back to the girl that was know in front of me I looked in her eyes they held nothing but joy in them. I said a little more emotionless than I meant to "Nami go and stretch and practice first I'll be out there're soon. I just need to talk with your mother." I was relived to see that she didn't catch it.

She said cheerfully "ok don't take to long I really want you to teach me how to use the sharingan." and smiled brightly at me I tried to return that smile but seem to hard to do today and was only able to give her a small one. This time she noticed I could tell because she got a concerned look on her face.

I said in hopes that she wont ponder it to much "Now go and stretch and I promise to teach you a new technique with the sharingan."

She ran to me and hugged me and said "Thanks you're the best." and kissed my cheek and ran outside through the back door. That led to the training ground that wasn't that far from the house. The kiss was brief but enough to make me feel a little remorseful for what I was about to do, but not enough to stop me.

But soon the sensation was gone because her widowed mother asked "You said you wanted to talk to me so talk." and came tentatively towards me like a lot of the other times she had a smirk on her face. She didn't look nothing like Nami, Nami looked a lot like her father heck even her father had a girly look to him. But this woman was also nothing like her, this woman was selfish, inconsiderate and best-friends with my mother. I wonder how she can stand being with Nami's mother.

I sighed knowing she wasn't going to make this easy she was in front of me "I'm going to kill you. Please try and be quite so you wont alert Nami." her eyes widened in fear and shock.

She stammered "You're joking with me right." she tried to deny the truth the inevitable "hahaha… Itachi you had me going there for a second."

I didn't laugh I just said in a cold and cruel voice "This is no joke Tetra I'm going to kill you" she flinched in realization of her situation "and there is no stopping me from achieving this." in seconds I was in front of her and choking her I decide if I don't want Nami to find about this I had to kill Tetra in a silent fashion. She tried to escape but her efforts were futile I over powered her easily just like the rest of the villagers. She was clawing my arms it hurt but I didn't flinch but instead I increased the pressure on her neck. She finally resorted to digging her nails into me and then quickly after that she started try to pull my hands free from her throat which I felt constrict under the pressure of my hands. She started to tilt her head up and making choking and wheezing sounds trying to grasp as much air. She looked pathetic and weak just like she truly was. Her body finally fell limp under my grasp. I let her dead corpse fall to the floor with a thud and said "Pathetic."

I turned around and saw a devastated and emotionally unstable Nami. She was crying silently and shaking her head until she finally gave a whimper and heard her whisper to herself "no, he wouldn't do this, this just a really bad dream that I need to wake up from." and then quickly looked up.

I said "Nami… you weren't supposed to see this." I said it to casual for comfort. She stopped shaking her head and looked up at me with fear of what's going to happen.

She said in a shaky voice "You killed her didn't you?" she asked. Nami had stopped crying now and her eyes now held a distant look. I didn't say anything but that all she need me to do to know what I had done. I kept on coming closer to her any closer soon she wouldn't be able to escape me. She screamed "GET AWAY FROM ME." and got up started to run to the door she was about to reach the door when I quickly moved to block her way. She stopped in time to not collided into me I had taught her well, but ended up falling backwards on her butt. She crawled helplessly backward until she hit the wall it was easy to tell that her fear was still rising. I wished she wouldn't but it's the only way that the test is going to be able to be set.

I moved to fast for her to stop me I was in front of her. I was kneeling on one knee and stretched out my arm and used my hand to cares her soft and tear stricken cheeks to try and comfort her even if I new I wasn't supposed to. "Nami I didn't want you to see this I didn't want you to hate me, and fear like they all did. I just wanted you to care for me trust me like you always did." I told her in a comforting, soothing voice I didn't mean to say that it just came out but it apparently got her attention.

She "Itachi I know that I don't hate you but I don't know weather to fear you or not anymore."

I said caught in the heat of the moment "I'm sorry Nami I didn't want you to fear me." my voice now was nothing more than a whisper.

Nami "Then why did you kill her? Why?" she sighed "Part of me still thinks you're going to kill me. I know you to well Itachi. So just kill me know."

I said saddened that she thought that I would actually kill her which had never crossed my mind "Do you really believe that?"

Nami in a cold voice "I don't know what to believe anymore."

My eyes instinctively turned the sharingan on out of rage she did the same out of self defense I said now a little pissed off and hurt "I thought you cared about me and even trusted me, you said you would always help me." my voice was harsh.

She said in a calm and monotone voice "What about you Itachi you promised me you would never hurt me like they all did. Where did that promise go? out the window." her own anger was growing.

She pushed me away hard enough to make me fall backwards, which gave her enough time to get out. She ran out the front door and I got up and went after her I was past pissed I was angry. I saw her and I could tell that she was about to scream I couldn't let any one know yet of this deed so I put my hand over her mouth and the other wrapped my other around her waist and arms so she couldn't move. I had to lift her up to be able do it since she was shorter than me by almost a foot.

I said causally to her "I'll let you go if you promise not to scream." when she nodded a tear had fallen from her face and on my hand. I tensioned up and recoil out of the thought that I had caused her that much fear and damage that I made her cry. Somewhere deep inside my head said Did you think that after everything that you had done she would still love you please I didn't think that you were that naïve Itachi. I pushed away the thought. I let her go quickly after the tear had fallen she gasped for air as she landed on her hands and knees. As soon as she got control over her breathing she instantly turned around I left her sight I thought I should go now before anything else happens. But my body said other wise. I then appeared in front of her she saw me and got in a blocking position and closed her eyes I waited for her to open them and look at me.

My ass was on her lap and she finally opened her eyes to see me crouched. I put my finger under her chin and she immediately moved her face away "Did you really think I would hit you?" I asked to my self now saddened again from her lack of thinking. But I never let her answer "Nami I just hope in that time you can forgive me for what I had done, and this." she gave a confused expression. I hit the side of her head to knock her unconscious I didn't want her to see the rest of the village which was crawling with dead bodies every where. I wonder when Sasuke is going to get home. Only one place left to go and that's Home Sweet Home and smirked at the thought. I sighed "This has been a hell of an afternoon."

A/N: I was finally able to finish writing this so I hope you all liked the first chapter of this story. I still don't know if I should make her fall in love with Itachi or another character. I can tell you this, this is going to be a long story. I wanted to include Itachi's point of view because I wanted you the readers to know how he felt and how he reacted. I tried my best to get Itachi to be as much in his usual character as much as possible and this is what I came up with. Also Nami's is shorter because she was emotionally unstable and couldn't think coherently enough to get one strait thought. If you have questions feel free to ask and I'll try to answer them as best as possible.
