A Surprise Not Known

Six-o-clock pm. The clock was like a time bomb to Nana. She didn't know what to do. Should she go to the live or should she dismiss her brother's plea to see him perform. So many questions occupied her mind. She decided it was better for her if she took a long walk before witnessing what surprise her brother had in store for her.

While walking past the familiar area; she realized she was headed towards Takumi's house subconciously. When she reached the undesired destination, her heart began to beat fast. Something was happening. She was scared; mortified. Like she couldn't breathe. Her gaze lured her to the open door of the house. Takumi was there smiling back at her.

"Hey beautiful. How've u been," he stated as he walked towards her. "I'm having a performance today. Are you gonna go?"

He was smiling, but then realized the look of deception on Nana's face. Her eyes began to fill with dry tears. She covered her face and leaned in towards Takumi. He had a worried expression now; confusion. Why was she crying?

"Hey, what happend? Did something go wrong," nervously speaking he comforted her by running his fingers through her silk hair. It was so relaxing. All she could hear now is the deap, yet soft voice that was calling out her name; the large fingers that ran through her hair like they belonged nowhere else. Nana looked up and began to speak the truth that she has hidden for the last two years. The truth about her feelings for the man that held her so familiarly at that moment.

"Takumi, I'm scared. I feel like something that I dont want to happen is going to happen. Before that, I want to know the relationship between us. Is it just a game to you, or am I someone for you to love? Who am I to you, " she repeated as her hands reached for Takumi's.

"What are you talking about? Nothing is going to happen. Why are you talking like this? Nana we're friends, right?" He questioned her but even he knew that it was more then just that.

"The things we've been through was more then just a friendship relationship, Takumi. Don't lie to me. I need to know the truth. Because to me you're more then a friend. I love you." Nana could feel herself choke on the words but she knew it had to be said. She forced herself not to cry, she didn't want to be weak when she was speaking with so much courage. With that same courage, she forced herself to witness the expression on his face. Takumi was calm; not surprised. He finally reached his hands out and kissed her petite fingers.

"Nana," he whispered, " you've made me so happy and yet so angry. Happy that you weren't like the other girls, but angry because your feelings were written all over your face. I always wondered why you wouldn't just tell me. But I'm not going to take advantage of your feelings. I'm leaving in a few days; to Tokyo. Our band is signing a contract there. I'm sorry, but these feelings are gonna have to be left here." He sighed with the tone that was so mature and unfamiliar. Nana wasn't able to comprehand what was happening. Takumi was leaving? This can't be! He apologized to her once more. Nana looked up and saw that he was serious, however, he wasn't saddened. He had the expression of a man with a cold heart. Nana could do nothing but stare until a noise from the background reached her ears.

"Big brother! Bis sis just called. She wanted to know if you're finished with the gaurdian papers. Big brother?"

Takumi turned around and began to speak to the unfamiliar child that was standing on the doorstep. Nana was confused. She was short; with long, brown hair and had big, blue eyes. She was dressed so casually and comfortably; she acted like she knew Takumi for so long. Wait a sec. Big brother? What the hell?

"Yea, yea I know. I'll call her and let her know that I'm having the meeting with the lawyer tomorrow. He said as he patted his, so called, sister's head. " Go back inside I'm speaking to someone important." The young girl nodded her head in acceptance and disappeared back into the house.

"Sorry about that. What was I saying? Oh, right....Im lea...." Takumi's voice was cut off by Nana's sudden question. "Who was that," she pointed towards the door in confusion. "I dont understand. Why'd she call you big brother, Takumi? And gaurdian papers? What's been going on?"

He let out a large sigh and decided it was best for him to tell her. " Come on, let's go somewhere else where we can talk comfotably." He began to take Nana's arm and lead her to another destination. Nana pulled back and pleaded, " NO! Nowhere else. Right here," her voice began to soften, " right now, I don't want to go anywhere else." She looked so heart broken, and something in her heart told her that this wasn't the end of her discomfort. Takumi sighed and began to explain the girl, his leaving and his feelings.

"She's my younger sister. She's the only important being left for me. When my mother died, my father's attitude changed. He wasn't the same anymore. He was dangerous and irresponsible. When my younger sister turned 10, my sister decided it was best to send her off to a boarding school away from my father. Thanks to the help of my older sister's husband; that was made possible. But when she heard that I was moving to Tokyo, she wouldn't stop begging to move in with me," he let out a low chuckle," she said that she was now 14 years old and was mature enough to choose who to take care of her." He laughed once more. "So I decided to become her legal guardian. That way I can take care of her properly with the right attitude."

Nana couldn't believe what was happening. She was left in awe. So much is happening. She looked up at Takumi, her eyes widened, "So you're moving on with your future now, huh? I guess I wasn't told because I'm nowhere in that future," she sighed. "Your sister looks nothing like you, but she has your eyes Takumi. I wish you the best of luck with everything that you do. Goodbye." With her head lowered, she began to walk away when suddenly Takumi grabbed her arm, pulled her towards him, and kissed her. Nana was so surprised she couldn't even react. Unable to care about anything else, she kissed him back. Their tounges winding together between their lips. Her first kiss. Takumi's hands trailed down to her waist and then suddenly the kiss became more strong, more passionate. He took his large hands and ran his fingers through her hair. Nana's face became a blush red and clinged to Takumi's chest. Finally, the two releaased the kiss in unison.

Nana didn't know what was going on, but she knew in her heart that that was no ordinary kiss.

Alright! Been a while since I've written. What do you think? Hope you liked it. It seems that something big is about to happen. There has been questions about where is Nana Osaka; Nobu, and Shin. They will all be introduced in the future chapters after the story of Hachiko is done. Oh, and also, was it surprising or what to find out that Takumi has a sister! That was my own touch that I assure you will prove to make the story more interesting. Iv'e always wondered what Takumi would be like if he was an older brother. On to the next chapter!
