Author's Note: I'm back my fellow readers with a new chapter. I'm so sorry for not updating in a long while. But, I'm done with college (well until August), but I'll probably update again sometime soon. And I apologize in advance for the cliffhanger at the end. Seriously this chapter just wrote itself even I who wrote it never expected for this ending to occur. Please feel free of what you thought in a review at the bottom. Also, this is not edited all mistakes are my own. Thanks, Bella4evr3

Chapter 10

"Hachiko, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for…" Nana Osaki wanted to continue. However, Nana K interrupts preventing Nana O from continuing.

"Nana, you have nothing to be sorry for." Nana K admits. "Yes I do."

"No. You. Don't. I'm the one who should be saying sorry. I'm sorry, Nana. I'm sorry for not thinking of you and how you would react to me seeing Takumi again. I should know better. But, I can't help who I fall in love with."

"No. You can't. And, I want you to understand that for the most part we are friends. And, I will always be your friend. So, whatever you decide I will behind you." Nana O looks into her beloved friends gaze and smiles. Suddenly the past seemed so silly in comparison to this moment.

Nana K walked calmly out of the diner that she had previously met Nana O. at. Her mood felt lighter – like the once recent bad baggage had suddenly lifted. Nana O and she were friends again. Her relationship with Trapnest's bassist was real – she could now go further into that relationship without fear from rejection from others. Her friends since high school accepted him already, so to Nana K life sure seemed good now.

She continued to walk down the street and around corners – walking her way back to apartment 707. Back to where all the good and bad memories mush together. It was a short distance from the diner from the apartment – even though she was cold to bone since the season of cold weather was present. Hurling her coat over her more feeling a bit warmer, as she continued to the old classy, brick apartment.

She glanced to the pure white snow below her feet – finding it the most interesting thing she had ever laid eyes on to distract herself from the cold. "Nana." She looked up and stopped mid-step – her eyes zeroing on the auburn haired boy in-front of her.

"Shoji!? What are you doing here?" Nana K questioned hurling her jacket closer. "I was just walking around and remembered you lived close and decided to check up on you. Since we're friends, again." Nana K smiled a wide smile. "Of course! Come on in and get out of the cold." Nana K expresses, while nudging Shoji- until they reached the red-brick apartment.

Opening the door to the apartment Nana trudges her coat off setting it up on the coat rack next to the door – as she offered Shoji something to drink. Shoji could see that the apartment hadn't changed in the time he and Nana had broken up. He walked into her bedroom – noticing the big Trapnest poster that was hung up on her wall. "So, what's new?" Shoji asked, accepting the beer that Nana offered. Opening it and taking a sip, while waiting for her response.

"Where to start?" Nana K asks, because there had been a lot that had happened since she last saw Shoji. Takumi's reappearance in her life. Nana's doubt in her, and her acceptance to Takumi. "A lot has happened – I'm seeing Takumi, again; and Nana has finally accepted the fact that Takumi is the right choice for me. She supports it."

"I'm glad. I wouldn't like to see you all alone. "Shoji states. Taking another sip of beer, before he chokes in realization. "You mean Takumi of Trapnest?!" He never realized. "One in the same." She confirms.

"Want to meet him, or err. " Nana K stumbles suddenly realizing the situation that would bring. It wasn't really a good situation on having her current boyfriend meeting her ex – just remembering the tense atmosphere where Nobu and Takumi are concerned. "Sure. It would be nice to meet him. "Nana K lets out a sigh. Picking up her cellphone – then remembering Takumi and the band where on a tour. "Actually, we might have to make that a raincheck – I just remembered Trapnest is on a tour now. So I won't see him for a while."

"No problem. I'll meet him some other day." Shoji states, while continuing, "It's been awhile since I last saw this apartment. I remember the day when Kyousuke, Junko, and I were visiting this place for the first time. Seeing Nana O and Yasu – you were truly happy. I'm glad you're happy again." Shoji confesses.

Nana Komatsu could feel her heart skip a beat – she was happy and joyed fill when Shoji revealed that fact. It was like getting his approval was the most important thing. "Thank you." She turned her back and started to look through the fridge for something to cook and eat.

"Do you want to stay for dinner?" Nana K asks – she lifts her head to see Shoji leaning on her doorway. "Yes. I would like that."

Nana was relieved. It felt good to be able to talk to Shoji again. It was like having her best friend with her again. The friend where she could be carefree and herself without any other judgment. Shoji got her – and even knew her like Takumi did. And he accepted her mistakes and all.

She readily made dinner – knowing she wanted to make some curry and rice – while, she cooked Shoji explained his life. How he and Sachiko were not really doing okay since their last conversation at Jackson's. Nana was surprised to hear that he was intending on leaving her, but really couldn't think of an appropriate time to do it.

She finished the curry and poured some over cooked rice and presented Shoji with a helping as she sat down at the table. Then forgetting that she still needed a drink she got up and went to the fridge and spotted a beer – picking it up and opening it she took a sip and set it on the table. However, when she sat the drink on the table Shoji's hand grabbed hers whisking her towards him and their lips met.

Nana's eyes widened in surprise. This was completely unexpected.
