Hello, once again I want to change Nana's story. This time is in chapter 42 of the real world comics where it shows Nana's group's story in future (just some pages on the beginning of the chapter). Well it says they keep on having flat 707 and that they kept on joining there to see the summer fireworks at the river side, doesn't it? It ends when Nobu arrives and Nana fills a bath tube for him to have a bath, adding some bath salts. Nobu, Shin, Yasu, Nana Ichinoise and Sasuki Ichinoise (Takumi and Nana's about 9 years old daughter) are already there but Nana Oosaki and Ren are still missing.

And this is where we take the story.

EXTRA CHAPTER: ANNUAL FIREWORKS. OLD TRADITIONS.

"And how is that summer for you Hatchi?" Shin asked Nana Ichinoise (Komatsu).

"We can't complain, can we Sasuki?" She answered smiling while the little girl played with her new doll. "The house has refreshing system so the weather in home is the heat we want."

"Ah!!" Shin said. "I wish we had that too!"

"By the way, do you know where your red haired lady is?" Nana asked.

"You know her." Shin said. "She will come soon but she had things to do so…"

Then we heard a car horn down the window and we smiled.

"Ok, we know where she is now, don't we?" Shin said.

"I think we should tell her not to blow her horn here when she arrives late." Yasu said. "Or the neighbours will complain again."

Three minutes later a lady wearing a good, well branded and expensive kimono knocked on the door smiling and Sasuki ran to open it.

"Ohaio everyone." The lady said getting in the room.

"Aunt Isa!!" Sasuki said happily jumping to her neck. "You have come!!"

"Hello." Everyone said.

"Hello, Isa." Nana said smiling. "Happy to see you have found the place."

"I'm not so silly so as to get lost." She said. "I have had to return back over my steps just twice before arriving here by car."

"But Nobu gave you a plan to come here." Shin said.

"Oh, I think you mean this." She said taking a piece of paper from her breast with just two fingers. "Don't tell him but I think Sasuki would have drawn it better."

They the looked at the plan and had to agreed with her while they held their laugh. Nobu had drawn it at a paper and it didn't looked too clear to be a map.

"And where is him?" She then asked. "Did he also got lost?"

"He is at the bath tube." Nana said. "I was to tell you to change clothes but…"

"Ah!" She then said. "I have brought a little present for Sasuki from England!"

Then she put her hand in her kimono sleeve and took out a present.

"Ooops, this is not Sasuki's!" She said smelling it. "Shin's… Yasu's…" She added taking a bigger one and then another two normal sized ones. "Nana and Hachi's… I think I lost them!!"

"Oh, no!" Sasuki said looking into her sleeve. "They can be lost!!"

Isa then smiled motherly and in fun while Sasuki looked into her sleeve.

"Sasuki." She then said. "How long is you have not washed your ears?"

She then looked up at her.

"Look what you have in your ears!" She added acting as if she was picking something from her right ear. "Ah! They were not lost! They were in your ears!"

Sasuki and Nana then went really surprised as Isa took a lot of packets from Sasuki's ear. And then the little one took them surprised.

"Wow…" Nana said surprised looking at the red haired as she uncovered her mouth. "You can do magic…"

"It's too easy to perform magic for a little girl and… well, and Hatchi." She said sitting up on the table with Yasu and Shin and taking a beer from the fridge.

They then drank their beers while they all opened their presents and Nana and Sasuki went really thrilled when they saw their presents. Hatchi got an expensive foulard and Sasuki got a good branded t-shirt and some toys including a limited series doll.

Nobu then asked about the shouts from the bath tube and Isa stood up and walked there.

She first knocked on the door and then got in to kneel down next to the tube full of foam.

"Hello, my love." She said then. "Did you miss me?"

"Just a bit." He said smiling. "So, how was the travel? Did you found the house?"

"Oh, yes." She said smiling as she put her hand in the water stirring the water. "And the travel was just fine. And I saw my father, weird but… anyway, I managed to close the agreement and we have now the other hotel firm."

"I think I'm the boyfriend of a shark woman." He said smiling and taking her hand to make her get to his face and kiss her.

"Oh, I nearly forgot." She said smiling. "I got you some presents. They are outside so when you get out…"

"You know I will like anything you have bought me." He said smiling sweetly.

Meanwhile on the living room, the rest chatted.

"And you said she was over England and then back here?" Nana said.

"Yes, even now she is our singer she has still a family." Shin said.

"She has more family sense than others I know." Yasu said looking at him. "Anyway, her brother called her so as her to fly over England and met a man they had to deal with. So she went there and dealt with the man. What I don't know is if she got what they look for."

"I bet she did." Shin said. "She always gets what she wants. She is a good business woman and she can be really persuasive if it's need of."

"You seem to know her pretty well for the little time you have always spent with her." Nana said. "Could it be my dear Shin had an affair with the red haired Celebrity?"

"Is it true, uncle Shin?" Sasuki asked. "Are you really dating her?"

"No!" Shin said laughing. "Just some nights on the same bed…" He added sexily making Nana yell in surprise and Yasu go red.

"Hatchi!" Isa said going out the toilet. "Is everything right? Are you ok?"

"Yes, yes." Shin said. "I was just telling them we have spent some nights on the same beds."

"True, but I think they have mistook what you meant to say." She then said looking at him and then realising Sasuki was also there. "Shin, there's a little girl. Please…"

"They took it as I meant, but she is right." Shin said. "There was cousin's love and nothing more. She has always done better men… ouch!" He said as he was hit by the red haired.

"Stop it, Sasuki is there." She told him softly. "C'mon Sasuki." She added smiling at her. "Do you want to come down with me and light a couple of the crackers I brought you all?"

"Sure!!" She said happily.

"I've got some butterfly ones, the noisy ones… ah! And I have also brought lot of those sticks that give off light sparks. And Shin, I brought you the dragon eggs."

"Yeep!!!" He said. "I used to love them yet I have just seen them once!!"

"I think you should wait for Ren." Yasu told us. "He will also like that child's occupations."

"I want to take Sasuki far from the two perverts." She said smiling jokingly. "Anyway, I'll keep some for him too. I never get my luggage checked on my family's jet."

"Amazing…" Hatchi said when Shin, Isa and Sasuki left down to the river side to light and play with the firecrackers. "A jet…"

"I think her family had three, so now her mother died she kept her mother's one." Yasu said. "And of course, her father would not allow her to travel from Tokyo to London on a normal plane full of commoners."

"So she really is a princess!!" Hatchi said astonished.

"NO!" Yasu said laughing. "She is just born on a really wealthy family, so her father takes great care on her well being even when she has turned down all her offers of that. All he wants her is not to put any kind of dirt over the family name."

"What a nasty family!" Hatchi said as Nobu went out of the bathroom wearing his male kimono as he tied his obi. "Poor Shin and Isa… With such a non loving family…"

"She has not being as unloved as Shin." Yasu said.

"Who are you talking about?" Nobu asked.

"Your lover." Yasu said. "Nana said she was as unloved as Shin, I disagree."

"I don't think she was unloved as Shin." Nobu said sitting at the bench. "But she has never been too loved either. She told me once she didn't like her life and that was why she did the best she could to look for her father's approval and then she was tired of crashing against a wall and decided to start a new life far from her family." He added looking out of the window how the three of them laughed at the riverside playing with the firecrackers.

"She has been given the best of the best by her father." Yasu said. "But she seems never to have been given what she looked for."

"Love." Hatchi said dreamily understanding.

"And a father's approval." Yasu said. "To say it that way, she would also be a kind of orphan as Ren, Nana, Shin or me. She comes from the same family than Shin so their lives have not being so different."

Then Hatchi fell a bit moved. She could imagine how it was, even when she had never felt like that she could imagine how they had felt. To her eyes, Nobu was a warm dog, she a noisy one, Yasu a wise and silent dog, Shin a distant puppy… but Nana, Ren and Isa were cats. Life had made them like that.

Life made them like that. They had been beaten up, unwanted and given the back by society or their families. She had grew up on a noisy family that loved her very much even when her parents complained too much about her giving them too much problems and Nobu on a little family that loved him despite of him leaving them to play guitar professionally. The rest had never been shown love by their families and that if they had one.

Suddenly, Ren and Nana's distant and twisted nature was explained cause they didn't met their parents; and Isa's warm nature of caring for the weaker ones or considering them as family was also clear for her.

The red haired was forced to become that cause of her growing up alone. She was strong to take care of herself and no needing on help for achieving what she wanted. She must have felt cold lot of times, sad and depressed. But she got over everything standing against adversities. That was why she adored Nana and Isa so much. They were really strong, inside and outside.

"I think I'll cook them some biscuits next time we join." Hatchi said.

When night was about falling, and they were ending having the meal Hatchi and Isa had managed to cook for all, Ren arrived. As he said he arrived just before the fireworks; a quarter of hour before then.

"Hello!" He said. "Ah!! Isa!! You are also here!!" He added jumping over her neck as if he was a little guy.

"I'm also happy to see you too, Ren." She answered smiling.

"I'd heard you were off for a working trip." He said being separated from her by Nobu in jealousy.

"Oh, yes. My brother wanted me to be on an agreement meeting he had to get another firm under his iron fist so I couldn't say no to my own brother." She said smiling. "By the way, here you are…" She said smiling as she handed him some presents.

He opened them to discover a box full of animation films and a punk t-shirt.

"From the same place where Sid Vicious from Sex Pistols used to bought his clothing." She said as if it was something normal.

Ren then went more than happy while Hatchi offered him some dinner he refused because the first firework lighted the sky.

Hey, Nana. We are all together on the old flat Hatchi and you shared. This year I'm also here, feeling as if I was filling an empty space I will never fill the way it is. Because I have to fill my own space but also one I know I'll never be able to fill as you did. Because us, people are the same on a 94 but that 6 of difference is just what makes us so different yet we are so similar on the same way.
