She walked home after picking herself up off the ground, the image of that tuft of orange hair was still in her mind. He seemed familiar, but she couldn't quite figure it out. She walked home still pondering about the boy she ran into, or rather slammed into. He seemed to be in such a hurry. He was coming out of the house next to them. Wasn't that the Sohma house?

"Kyo Sohma." she said as she walked in the door. Her mom, who was sweeping up the front hallway looked at her daughter.

"What did you say Nana?" Mrs. Higurashi asked. Nana shook her head.

"No mom. Just thinking aloud." The elder Higurashi heaved a playful sigh.

"Thinking aloud about that Sohma boy again? How long have you had a crush on him? Almost a month?" Nana's face held a bright red blush. It was a wonder that even though it was just the two of them, Nana's mom could still embarass her.

"Cut it out mom!" She whined. "Besides, he doesn't even notice me." She added in a mumble. Mrs. Higurashi set the broom against the wall and walked over to her daughter. Her slippered feet made a soft padding sound against the wooden floor. She pulled Nana's face to look at her.

"Maybe you should tell him then?"

"But mom! He hates it when all the other girls fall all over him! What would make me any different?" Nana pulled away from her mother and sat to take off her shoes. Mrs. Higurashi watched as Nana put her house slippers on and trudged up to her room. There she went to turn on her music. Her friend's mp3 was placed into it and songs from the band that her bubbly friend recommended blasted through the speakers. The sound of a soft guitar beginning started the song and the mans melodic voice intertwined with the rest of the music.

Akehanashita mado ni mawaru ranbu no DEEP SKY

AH aoide...

Nana had heard this song before, but it was sung by a girl, wasn't it? Mika...something.

"kurikaesu hibi ni nan no imi ga aru no?"

AH sakende...

tobidasu GO

Mika...Nakashima? Yeah, that's who originally sang this song. It was in a movie she watched. One with the same name as her. Nana.

The song was so soothing, yet Nana's mind still tried to remember the name of the band who was singing. They did a good job of it.

"Oh Nana! You have to listen to Girugamesh!" Kira squeeled. "They're soooo good! They even did a cover of that one song you like! 'Glorious Nights'?"

"'Glamorous Sky'" Nana corrected her friend. "Really? That's cool." The young Higurashi tried to seem interested, and it seemed to work for the most part. Kira handed Nana her mp3 player telling her that she had a bunch of their songs on there.

"I love 'Volcano', but then again, 'Kosaki Uta -Kaijou Kata Enban' is one of my favorites too-"

"Uh, Kira?" Nana interrupted her babbling friend. "I have to get going. My mom is expecting me." Kira was a little upset that Nana had stopped her gushing over her new favorite band, but she still let the Higurashi go. Kira Arukawa was one of the girls who was crushing on both Yuki and Kyo Sohma. She wasn't in the fanclubs, but when she wasn't chatting about music, make-up and gossip, she was talking about Kyo and Yuki. One time she had even brought up the topic of what if those two had a gay relationship.

"What?" She had snapped. "That would be so hot! I mean, imagine Yuki gripping at Kyo's orange hair as Kyo-"

"Don't even say that! That's so gross!" Nana said in an attempt to hush Kira. She really didn't want to picture Kyo doing anything like that to Yuki. Especially since she liked Kyo. She would never admit that allowed, but she liked him. She really did.

Nana slumped down on her bed and lay back. The song was so mesmerizing, and it made her forget about her flaky friend and only have the Sohma boy in her mind. Was she obsessed? Could it be that she's like the rest of his fan club? No. It couldn't be. As much as she liked him, she didn't get so close to him and constantly watch him like he was a zoo attraction. He didn't follow him around or giggle at everything he does and squeal at how cute he can be at times. She kept it inside and admired him from afar. Besides, it was better this way. There was no embarassing rejection of writing a love letter, and he wasn't constatnly getting annoyed with her. It was better this way.

Nana's eyelids got heavier. She could feel the day's exhaustion finally catching up to her. The music started to sound far off, but in a way, it was crystal clear. She could still hear the last few verses clearly as she drifted off to sleep.
