The purpose of this fanfiction is to create a long lasting and extensive look into the future lives of many of NANA's characters. My focus (for now, at least) will be the family Ichinose, and their closest friends.

Set up in a frame-story style, it will open with Hachi's narration of present day, thinking back on what triggered and changed her life with Takumi so monumentally, and what it was, exactly, that ended them up in the situation they are now- which, if you dare to read, will come about ;)

This story will be broken up into parts based on narrator. Of course, I'm going to start with Hachiko, maybe go into a little Takumi, hell you may even see a few years in the life of the Renegade Queen, Nana Osaki, and what becomes of her- or I might just be teasing you. Anyways, my favorite part that I've written will come about when we all get to hear the lovely lady Satsuki's voice for the first time.

The first portion we see is before Satsuki's birth, and well what leads up to the decision that this couple has a second child after the chaos that ensued in Ichinose Ren's conception and birth. It is the broken and disoriented-ness that has consumed the relationship of Takumi and Nana Komatsu which has even begun to affect Ren, and how he views his parents.

Also, I will warn you now, each part is labeled not because one comes after another, but because I wrote each characters story in that order. So if you see me publish "Part I" and "Part IV", don't think you can't read it… my hope is to be clear enough (without being repetitive) that anyone who knows the series could read any chapter and get the scene and what happens. Granted, some parts as my story become more complex will become easier to understand if one reads the chapters and events leading up to it. But, that is what happens with any story.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy— here comes the first part, and let's hope you don't think I screwed it up too bad
