Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN KODOCHA…breaks down sobbing hysterically

Hey guys. This is my first Kodocha fic. Please read and leave whatever reviews…..thanks guys!

This fiction picks up right after Akito tells Sana he's going out with Fuka, only their older than in the anime, their in 8th grade about to go into 9th. From now on, it's almost always AU.

"….so that's it then. I'm going out with Fuka now." Akito paused…then became very confused. Small sounds were coming from the other end of the phone. If it were anyone else he would know exactly what they were. But this was Sana. She wouldn't….

"Sana?" He asked. "Are you crying?" "Shut up Akito. Just…." She paused, then sighed. When she spoke again, her voice was flat, and she had stopped crying. "Just shut up." She sighed again, and then hung up the phone.

Akito was speechless. She had never hung up on him. Now that I think about it, he thought sadly, she didn't even sound mad. Why didn't she sound mad? He frowned then. You know why she didn't sound mad, you idiot! It's because she sounded upset! Sana was upset…at you!

"I'll try again." He said out loud, then reached for the phone. But all he got was her silly answering machine. You've reached Sana Kurata. I'm probably out working on the movie, but don't worry! I'll be back in school in one more month, and I can't wait! Leave a message and I'll try to get back to you! BYEEEE!!!

On the other hand……

Sana hung up the phone, then reached for her notebook. When she was younger, she had composed songs and silly rhythms to get her feelings across. Now, she wrote poetry and journal entries. Also, she had started writing down some of the things Akito said sometimes. He can be poetic when he wants to be, she thought with a giggle.

She stopped suddenly, and picked up a picture sitting on the page. It was a picture of her, Akito, and Fuka. It was taken right before she had gone on the shoot, 3 months before. Hmph. She smirked. "Guess you came between us even then huh, best friend?" She kept flipping through the notebook, reading some of the conversations her and Akito had, her voice growing louder and louder. "Well, these were all great times, huh Akito. Yeah, they sure were. All this shit you said to me, like, 'I'll take care of you', or 'I'm always there for you,' or, my personal favorite, 'whenever you feel like crying come to me,' yeah right!"

Sana threw the notebook across the room, followed by her pillow, then her other pillow, both her shoes, and a stuffed mouse. "Where are you now Akito!?" she screamed. "I'm crying. My heart is broken and I need you! But your not here. What do I do now!!" She sobbed and cried, pouring her heart out to an empty room. When she got herself under control, she picked up the photo again, and just looked at it. "Guess your not coming to rescue me this time, huh? Guess I'm really on my own now." She sighed, wiped the last tears from her eyes, and then got up to try and make herself look presentable for Naozumi.

When she walked down to dinner her eyes were still puffy, but hey, she looked a whole lot better than she did before. Sana sat down next to Naozumi, then looked around. "Where is everyone?" She asked, still looking around. "I don't know, guess they'll be here in a minute." Replied Naozumi, looking at Sana. "Hey, you wanna eat outside?" "Sure" Sana said, "Let's go!"

Once they were settled in outside, and the dinner came, they kept talking. Sana was surprised to find that she was actually having fun, something she didn't think she would able to do again a couple hours ago. "..so anyway, what about you?" Naozumi asked. Sana jumped, then looked at him, confused, then finally realized she hadn't been listening.

"I'm sorry, what'd you say?" She said, with a blush on her face. He smiled, then said, "I wanted to know if you wanted to go outside with me." "Oh, yeah sure!" she picked up her purse, then walked outside, turned around and waited for Naozumi.

They walked around and finally stopped under the big oak tree. Sana leaned back on the tree, then sighed. "You know, I always come out here to think. To clear my head when the movie just…gets to be to much. Still, it's a little sad to think about how it's all gonna be over in a few weeks. Four, exactly. It's not that I'm not happy, it's just…" she turned to look at Naozumi, and gave him a small smile, "there's a whole lot of stuff I'm going back to…and…it just feels like when I'm in the movie, then I'm playing my character and I don't have to worry about Sana Kurata. She feels like another life. I guess I'm not ready to go back yet."

Naozumi paused, then walked toward Sana. "Sana, would you like to be my girlfriend?" Sana turned around, open mouthed. "Well THAT was subtle." She laughed. "Well..would you?"

"Oh, Naozumi." She said sadly. "I can't. You've been amazing and you're there and you always listen to me, and you've become one of the most amazing and beautiful friends I have, but I can't. I'm sorry." Naozumi nodded, then put his head on his hands. There was an awkward silence, then Sana stood up.

"Well, I'm gonna go back to my cabin now and practice for the scene tomorrow. Talk to you later?" She waited for an answer, but there wasn't one. She turned around to leave, but stopped when Naozumi grabbed her hand and twirled her around. Before she knew it, he hugged her hard, and she hesitated, then hugged him back.

"I just want you to know, I'm not going to force you. You're beautiful Sana Kurata, and I'm more in love with you than ever. I'll wait for you if I have to, but I'll always be here for you. I just wanted you to know that." He pulled back to look at her face, then tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear.

"You know, you've grown up Sana. You've come a long way from the hyper 6th grader I first met. You've really become a woman." He smiled sadly, then turned and walked off. Sana sighed, then walked to her cabin. Before she went to bed, she picked up her notebook and a pen.

Naozumi said tonight that I've grown up, and I have. But, I feel like it's going so fast. And I have to deal with so much. Like, when I go back to school, I'm going to have to deal with my best friend, and the love of my life together. I don't know if I can. Naozumi asked me to be his girlfriend tonight. He's always so sweet, and he is always there for me. Maybe…just maybe…we could work.

She closed the notebook and chewed on her pen as she thought for a few minutes. She tore a piece of paper out of her notebook, and scribbled down a few lines.

You looked in my eyes, and still called me beautiful

You looked in my heart, and still wanted to be with me

I need to talk to you…Meet me outside in the morning

Love Sana

The next morning, Sana trudged through the wet grass on her way to the old oak tree. She didn't know if Naozumi got the note, or even wanted to show up. She gasped, as two hands encircled her waist, then leaned back. "You wanted to talk to me?" he whispered in her ear.

"Last night, you asked me if I wanted to be your girlfriend, and I said…no. I was up really late last night thinking about Akito and me, and I realized that whatever I wanted to be there or whatever I wanted him to say to me was gone now that he was with Fuka. Then, I thought about you. I can't promise I won't disappoint you, but if you'll still have me, I'd love to be your girlfriend."

Naozumi spun Sana around and hugged her hard, then looked in her eyes and kissed her. Sana hesitated, then put her arms around his neck slowly, and deepened the kiss. Naozumi pulled back, gasping for air, then pulled her in close and whispered in her again. "I love you Sana Kurata. I fucking love you."

Sana pulled back. "I love you too." She whispered softly. She turned and started to walk away. "Where are you going?" He asked, confused. "I have something to do." She said. As she walked away, the sun caught her hair and framed her face. She's so beautiful, Naozumi thought to himself with a smile, then frowned slightly. I wonder if Akito has any idea how much she's grown up since he saw her 6 months ago. I wonder if he knows what he's giving up.

Sana walked back to her cabin and picked up her cell phone. She dialed one number then waited for the person to pick up.

"Hey," she said. "I have to talk to you…"
