Chapter 1

It all started when I was still just an innocent child. A child who didn't have a care about what's happening in the world, or about what's right or wrong. A child who have crushes here and there but landed on the wrong person…which I know now.

My family, the Konoha Clan used to be a well-known clan on some regions of Japan. But the prestige was lost through times so now, we are just a slightly-above-average clan. Well, except for my Tsunade-obasan, Minato-ojisan and Anko-obasan who married into an old-rich family. When my grandparents—Hashirama-ojiisan and Mito-obaasan passed away, my aunt, Tsunade-obasan who is the eldest child took charge of the family. So my mom who is the fifth child and the third daughter of the seven siblings doesn't have that much authority.

When my aunt took over, she suddenly decided that we will have a family reunion once a year, every summer vacation. Well that should have worked just fine except that her family lives in Western Kyoto while we live in Tokyo. Not only that, we are pretty much scattered all over Japan. Our family resides in Kanto Region together with Minato-ojiisan, and Kakashi-ojisan who lives in Saitama and Chiba respectively. While Tsunade-obasan resides in Kansai region with Iruka-ojisan who lives in Osaka and Shizune-obasan who lives in Kobe. Anko-obasan's family is the farthest who lives in the island of Hokkaido—in Sapporo.

My okaasan may not have that much authority in the family, still, she's a strong woman. Who would dare to marry an ex-Yakuza if she's not one right? Yes, my otousan used to be part of a Yakuza clan. I even heard he was the kumichou but decided to quit and passed the title to his second-in-command when he fell-in-love and married my mom who was a pre-school teacher during that time. When I was four years old, my okaasan suddenly decided to quit teaching and became a full-time housewife—so she can watch over us. But since my father didn't have a regular job, my mother became determined to put up a family business. She sold our car and turned the garage into a flower shop while my dad also quit his job and helped in the business. To make the long story short, I was only five years old when Tsunade-obasan made that rule of having a family reunion once a year, so we have financial problems at that time since our family business just started.

But my aunt won't have that as a reason so she sponsored our family's plane tickets, even Kakashi-ojisan's who had the same problem.

Thinking back to those times, my aunt may have done and said some pretty awful things to us—even to her other siblings, but this rule made the Konoha clan closer than ever during the next following years.
