It was a cold winter's day in Tokyo, Japan. The skies were grey and duller than dull. The ground everywhere was wet and cold. It had to have been at least 40-50 degrees today. It was really close to Christmas and everyone already had their lights up. Just 2 more weeks and Hayama would come home, Christmas eve...

-Monday morning, 6:00am-

A girl sighed heavily as she slumped, hands supporting her face as she leaned over the railing of her balcony. She looked out onto her backyard as her 4 dogs ran rapidly around the yard. Her face was somewhat sad, which was unusual for Sana Kurata. Her golden brown bangs blew into her hazel eyes and she rubbed at them annoyed. All she thought about every morning since he had left had been Akito. She had been awaiting his return for almost two years now. He had sent her a birthday present, but it had really ticked her off.

-Flashback-

Sana runs out to the mailbox and almost attacks the mailman when he comes. She takes the package from Akito and runs inside. Tearing it open happily she reads the note. "Hey, I got your picture. Unless you were stuffing, I guess I really can't call you flatty anymore.

Love,

Akito

Sana had been angry enough t at the note. When she opened the box she screamed frustrated and threw it at the wall. "AKITO!!!" Her mom had run in. "What's up, why you yelling?crazy hair" Sana was stomping around the room. "THAT BASTARD!!" Ms. Kurata looked into the box and laughed at the pink bra sitting in the box with a picture of Aki sticking his tongue out. "HA! I wonder if it fits?!" Ms. Kurata laughed.

-End Flashback-

Just thinking about it made Sana wanna scream but she held it in. She couldn't really complain...He did get the right size after all. 'No' Sana shook the thought away. From downstairs, her mom hit the ceiling with a broom. "You're gonna be late!!!" she yelled, though it was muffled through the thick floor. Sana jumped at this and ran inside, looking at the clock. "Crap!" she quickly got dressed in her school uniform and put up her hair. She ran downstairs, smiling and kissed her mom g'bye and ran out the door.

At school, she rushed hurriedly to her friend "HI Fuka!" she yelled to her best friend whom turned to look at her. "Oh, hey girl, you're later than usual, why?" she said with her Osaka accent. Sana smiled "Nothing, I just lost track of time that's all!" she shrugged. "That our Sana never has the time!" Fuka said loudly. Sana hit her over the head. "You don't have to tell the whole school!" she hissed. The two bff's walked to their homeroom.

-After School-

Sana and Fuka walked home together. "So don't forget, we're doing a short thing on Christmas Eve kay?" Fuka yelled to Sana as she walked up the path to her newer house. She and Fuka ran a teen hotline on the radio, and they were quite popular. Sana ran into the house and greeted her mother. Sana sat at her desk and began to do her homework.

She bit her pen, feeling stupid she couldn't answer a simple math question. The phone rang but she let her mother get it. When her mother yelled"Sana, it's for you!" she picked up the phone. "Hello? Sana speaking" she said idiotically, knowing it was one of her friends. She was shocked when she heard Aki's voice through the receiver. "Akito! Hi! What's up? Long time no see eh?" she smiled and rubbed the back of her head. Akito had the same kicked back voice only a bit older.

"Hey." He said shortly "I've got some bad news..."

The smile faded from Sana's face. She gulped and smirked. "Did someone die?! Don't tell me if someone died! Was it your sister gasp your dad?!-"

"Sana! Sheesh! No one died, everyone is fine!"

"Oh, that's good!" Sana said happily and wiped her head.

"But something came up...mumble"

"Huh?" Sana yelled through the phone.

SA: Ha! Aren't I evil how I just leave you to hang like that? Bwahahahaha! Chapter 2 coming soon!
