Natsumi Toshikai… known around Alexandria village.. with..
-"Nana!! Did you finished fixing that blade of that stupid rat?!" someone screamed with very heavy voice…
-"Yes!! Father!!"
The voice of his heavy foot steps is coming clear to Nana…She stand and took the gun in her hand and put it in the store…
-" Go and fix that stupid blade!!"
-" Yes father!! but where did you put it?"
-"Go and search it in the store in the basement!!" he left,
Toshikai's father is very huge man.. With big muscles…who looks scary and kind as well… He adopts Nana from another poor family…
Nana went to her closet and changed her clothes to her favorite's one… black and white colored dress with a long black coat… and she dressed in her boots.
She went downstairs, to the basement… and kept searching … she found a small door… she went inside… and the blade was on a high shelve… she raised her hand to take it.. but she couldnt approach it… she put her foot on a shelve in front of her… and tried to take it again.. but she couldn't … well she is kinda a short girl!
-"damn!! What shell I do now?"
Nana looked around… trying to search for something can help her…
-"oh! God!" she looked up again! And she started to jump to reach it…
When she got it, the shelves fall down… and whole weapons fall down on her…
She stands again, "eww! That hurt!! I think I broke my hand "
She took the blade with her left hand, and turned to the door! But she stopped suddenly when she saw something shining… she took a few steps forward to it… it was shining brown woody box… she opened it… she found a golden, heavy, strange look a gun…has black patterns …
"Wooow, it's impressive!! So father is hidden something treasure!!"
She took the Gun, concentrating at it! She returned her look to the box… she saw a small book!
She opened that book… with old woody papers …and looked very old!! And she tried to read some pages with small handwriting … she read it… and put sneer smile on her face "it's talking about rare items!! Oh my!! I can make new weapons and bullets for this gun!!"
-"Naaaaaaaaana!! BRING THAT BLOODY BLADE!!"
She remembered her father: "Yes, Father, AM COMING!!" she put the book in her pocket, and returned the gun to the box… and went up to the shop… "My arm is hurting me!!"
Chapter Two
Like usual, her father kept shouting on Nana! Because she hurt her right arm! She broke it! .. Nana kept working whole the day… cleaning and fixing the weapons.. And she couldn't get the image of the gun or book out of her head… she is so excited to have free time to read it..
After few days,
-"Toshi!!" her father called her while he was cleaning a spare..
-"Yes dad!" she looked at him smiling
-"there's something I want to tell you!"
-"What is it dad?"
-" well! .. I think it's time for you to leave.."
-" to leave?! Where? What do you mean dad?"
-" didn't you get sick of this life?" Nana stayed in silence
He continued :" I think, .. that.. you get to leave this shop and have your own life…"
-"WHAT??"
-" Am sorry Toshi, but I think you need to leave!"
-"why dad? Do I did something wrong?"
-""NO TOSHI!! BUT AM NOT YOUR FATHER!! And YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT!!"
Toshi didn't say anything… he came closer to her and put his hands on her shoulders..
-"Listen honey!! I can't force you anymore to work in my shop… I mean.. this is not your place.. your place is somewhere more fixed for you.."
Toshi looked at him, he smiled and went to the window..:" Somewhere, someplace … is waiting for my daughter…or someone! You don't know that… you just cant stay here anymore!!"
-" But I cant leave!! This is the place that I grew up! I love it! So, I cant leave it so easily!"
-" Am sorry Toshi! But I cant take your responsibility of you any longer!"
-"Dad!" Nana cried
-" You get to leave tonight I will give you your salary for your working here!" Nana left the room without saying any word.
She went to her room, crying! " I never expect that father is going to do that to me.. even I don't know how he had this idea"
She took her coat and left the shop.. and she went to her best friend ever in whole Alaxandria…near the big clock she waited till he came…
-" Heya NANA!!"
-" Hi Zidane!"
-"ohh… what a sad face! What's wrong? What happened to your arm?"
-"its nothing! Did you steal again?"
He laughed :" nooo nnooo … I left that job for a long time!"
-" oh right! Like I believe you!!" she looked up and start thinking…
-"so tell me? How you doing?"
-"you gave an idea!!"
-"what?!" he said with puzzled face..
She laughed.."c'mon, let's go have dinner together..in my treat.. for last time"
-"last time?!"
She smiled and take his hand and she walked with him.. and she told him everything…
In the restaurant…
-"What?!"
-" Yeah! I will steal it and leave!! As a punishment!!"
-"Who is the one who always told me that is a bad idea?"
-" I don't know!"
-"You know! Am going to miss you!"
Nana smiled to him, he continued :"Don't forget to visit me!"
-"Sure"
…
In the night, when Nana packed her stuff in her bag.. well, two bags… she wont forget her accessories and materials. and her father already left the money for her… about 600 gils! And he left to the bar… "He even didn't stay to say goodbye"
'well! That's better!!' she took her stuff and went down to the store in the basement…she opened the box she saw that day. She opened it and took the gun... and left the place… and as well she left Alaxandria…
Chapter Three
Natsumi Nana kept walking along the vacant streets near Midgar. After three days of searching a place to stay or live coz of unknown reasons she has been expelled from her own home and from the only closest person in her life her father.
Nana has no facts or either thoughts what are she is going to do next? And she didn't stop thinking about the box she stole! But she didn't know that creaky box was belonging to her! Even though she decided to not return it and she won't come back to Alexandria because this is not the first time her father is asking her to leave…
She took the gun and put it in her belt's pocket. And she put two sunrise weapons on her back. Nana has an ability of using different styles and variety of weapons that she hides them with spells.
Also, she misuses her money in buying new expensive clothes for her rather then normal girly dresses. She bought short black and grey dress with long black leather jacket. And long cotton boots. And she won't forget the accessories she is wearing. ( XD imagine her! I will draw her clothes next time)
"Silently passing by
In the middle of the season
The only one left
Is me... "
Cold air of autumn blowing her face carrying brown leafs of trees. Nana stopped and looked around her and sighed:"am totally lost! I even don't have a map". She stared at the sky: "Dad! How could you leave your daughter aloooooooooone!!" she shouted!
A black car passed by in a high pace. And it moved the direction of heavy wind to Nana. She closed her grey eyes. And she held her black soft hair. And she glanced back and sighed again!
Nana continued walking till she found a .. "CHOCOBO!!" she screamed in surprise! "oh my god! It's my first time seeing a chocobo!" of coarse she didn't … because she didn't travel a lot but stayed working in weapons workshop with non-stop!
The chocobo's were running in big wheels and some other were eating, walking and playing. Nana didn't notice that she was in a big chocobo farm. She looked around her, there was lots and lots of chocobos.
-"where are the people?!" She saw a hut between the chocobos. She walked to it and knocked out the door. No one opened. She waited for sometimes and knocked it again "anybody's there?!" no answer! She tried to open the door but it was locked.
-"Am starving here! There's a good smell coming from this hut! " she didn't eat anything from yesterday night because there's no money left in her pocket. She returned to the chocobo yard and sat on the grasses.
A small chocobo sat next to her and slept! She stared at it and stroked her hands in it feathers softy and smiled.
"
The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and you will find
The passage out of the dark
Here I am
Will you send me an angel?
"
-"Nana! Here you go honey?!" A blond man is giving Nana some old papers.
-"Can I write my thoughts here Papa?!"
He smiled and said:" Yes!". Nana looked at papers and started to draw and write some symbols.
-"Nana! Don't use your ability in dark side honey!"
Nana looked at him in puzzle! Then smiled :"Hai!"
He sniggered –"I trust you! Am glad that I have you!"
"HEY ! Wake up!... heeey!"
Nana opened her eyes slowly and she saw an old man face in front of her. She screamed. And the old man went steps back.
-"oh my! Am sorry! I .. just..was ..I"
He laughed" "that's ok…Dear!"
-" It's already dark! What's the time right now?!" Nana asked staring at the sky.
-"It's 12 PM.. I just came and found you sleeping on my chocobo's food!"
-"I ask your forgiveness!!" she continued:" I was starving... and I don't have money to buy some! And I … "
He stopped her by saying: "Don't worry my doughter .. Come inside... I've made Mushroom's soup.. You may like it"
-" of coarse I will! I LOVE mushroom" she said in happiness!
-" Let's go then!" he said smiling…
She took her bags and followed the old man!
……
Two days has passed… Nana stayed in small hut in return by helping in taking care of chocobo's. They sat in the yard chatting and laughing.
-" Taking care of chocobos is hard thing right?!" Nana asked
-" well not that much! I love taking care of them.. it makes me feel happy!"
-" Great.. when you started this job?!"
He laughed and answered:" It's not my real Job!"
-"What do you mean?!"
-" am caring of these chocobos in my free time.."
She surprised and asked again: "What's your real job then?! "
-" I am a seeker.."
-"a seeker?! Of what?!
He laughed again and said:" You get to sleep.. you are tired!"
-" No! it's ok! I want to know about your job!"
-" I don't think you have bad purposes, am I right?!"
Nana looked puzzle and asked:" What?!" ( HACHI XD)
-" I don't think so!" he answered
He continued saying:" I am a seeker of crystal!"
-"Crystal?!"
-"yeah! And I am horned to have such job!.. We must take care of the crystal even it costs as our lifes!"
Nana stared at his eyes and asked:" Is it that important?! But it belongs to whom?!"
"
A kingdom sleeps
children make groans that are never diminished
nor can they hope
A man is divided
he faces a tragedy and is sent away
And to travel at night from destruction
Is his other burden
to bear every fear is his punishment
which he must endure throughout time
and from it ascend
"
