Hi Hi, I lied again; this will NOT be the last chapter. The next one will be? I hope you like this chapter. Now that there is the reply button, I don't have to type up replies in the story any more!

Akasake is a name I came up with, Aka means red and sake… sake is a drink.

Chapter 9

During the few weeks that Sana was still in America for her filming, she didn't even catch a glimpse of Akito. After they finished the movie, Mikio decided to treat everyone to a party at Akasake.

"Remember that time at the Mansion of Water shoot? When I got hurt?" Everybody froze at this. "Aw, come on! Don't you remember? It was the attack of the rabid fan girls! Come on!" Yelled Sana as she grabbed Nao and dragged him up. "You remember, right?" Nao nodded reluctantly.

The whole group was gathered around a big table, the tiny restaurant had to close its doors to all costumers because of the big party.

Sana was sitting next to Nao.

"Sana, about earlier this week..."

"Nao. I have something to tell you." Sana said as she looked around. "I'm sorry, but I can't love you back. I love Akito." Sana mumbled looking down at her lap.

Nao gave an understanding smile and nodded. "Ok. I accept your feelings, but that won't stop me from trying."

Sana smiled up at him and nodded.

"More sake please!" Sana yelled in Japanese. To her surprise, the waitress answered back in perfect Japanese.

"You're too young for sake." Said the waitress. Instead, the young lady set down some soda for her. Sana didn't bother looking up, but thanked the girl.

When the adults were tired, they decided it was time to go. Sana went to the bathroom before leaving. When she passed the kitchens on the way out, she saw a familiar face.

"Is it Akito's sister?" Sana said in a loud voice.

When Akito's sister looked up, she smiled. "Yes it is. Oh! It's Sana! I love your show!" She exclaimed. "But you are a bit slow, earlier, when you spoke in Japanese, you didn't bother looking up to see who responded."

Sana scratched her head. "I'm used to being in Japan, so it's not unusual." Sana said. "So, how's Akito?" She asked, a bit unsure.

"He's alright. But ever since we've moved, he's been acting strange. He's been, more distant than usual." She said.

Sana looked at her for a minute.

"Sana, maybe it's you. I mean, when you said no to him, he was pretty down. And then the move... maybe it was too much stress." Sana stood there, stunned.

"Sana! The buses are here!" Rei yelled from the door.

"All right, I'm coming!" Sana yelled. She turned to leave, but stopped when Akito's sister pulled her back.

"Take this." She said, shoving a paper into Sana's hands. "It's our phone number. Call him." And with that, she turned back to her work.

Sana looked at the paper in her hands and left. When she was on the bus, she kept on staring at the numbers.

When they returned, Rei told Sana that they had only a few days left before they went back to Japan. Sana nodded.

The day that they were leaving, Sana sat on her bed, staring at the phone. She sat there for five minutes before picking it up and punching in numbers. She hesitated before dialing the last one.

Ring, ring,

Ring.

He picked up on the third ring.

"Hello?"

"..."

"Hello? If you're not going to answer, I'm hanging up." He threatened.

"Akito..." Sana whispered, in a barely audible voice. The line was silent.

"Sana?" Questioned Akito.

"Yes, it's me."

"Who gave you this number?"

"Your sister. I saw her a few nights ago, at Akasake." Akito mumbled inaudible something on the other side.

"Well, why did you call?"

"I have something to tell you. I'm going back to Japan today but, this is serious, Akito, listen to me please. I'm telling the truth." Sana inhaled before continuing. "Akito... I love you."

When her statement was answered with silence, as she hung up.

Hearing the buzz of the click, Akito put down the phone.

"Was that Sana?" Asked his sister as she entered his room, without knocking. Akito nodded and fell back onto his bed.

"You know, she really likes you, and you really like her. So what's the problem?" his sister asked as she made herself comfortable.

"There is no problem but..."

"Let me guess, male pride. She turned you down so you're not sure if you should give her another chance or not." When Akito didn't respond, she assumed that she hit the mark. "If you really like her, give her another chance. You don't want to lose her to your ego."

"She's going back to Japan today." Akito sighed.

"Ohhh. Well, let's ask dad when we're going back to Japan. He said we should go back for a visit sooner or later." Akito nodded and the two siblings headed to their dad's office. 'Sana, I'm not going to tell you that I love you until I can see you in person.'

Sana looked around the airport hopefully. She was looking for a certain guy. When she didn't see him, she sighed and boarded the plane. When the plane took off, she took one last look at the airport.

'Bye bye America, I hope we see each other again, Akito. I will always love you.'

Little did she know, at the Hayama house…

"Akito, we will go back to Japan sooner or later, why do you ask? Is it important to you?"

"No reason, I just want to see my friends." His father looked him over first.

"I don't see why you can't visit them during your summer vacation? How about…" His dad started while he glanced at his calendar. "How about six months from now?" Akito nodded and exited the office.

'Six months Sana, six months.'

Notes: How did you like it? I swear. The next chapter will be the last one. And when the last chapter comes around, it will be my first completed story! I'll be really happy. If you guys have any comments or questions, feel free to leave them.

Does anyone remember Akito's sister's name? I couldn't remember it so I kept on trying to refer to her different ways. If you remember, type it in a review or e-mail me please.

I wonder if I'll ever write another Kodocha fic… Hmmm, I like Kodocha, but I don't have any plots for it. I'm trying to write many stories in different series. I've got a few now… Maybe I'll do a Kodocha one shot.

I'm glad to announce that I have a beta reader now. Sango is new let's see if she has anything to say….

Sango: … Uhrm hi?

I hope you liked this chapter
