A/N: Ignore my grammar mistake and enjoy

"I am Joker!"

Nanako just sit and watch the video, her eyes has been glue on the screen to see the person name 'Joker' show his card with the picture of his and the capital letter 'J' at the right corner. She admires this person very much and even though it's funny but she actually thinks he is as her idol. The 'Joker' breaks the rules to bring justice.

Also she lost a bit of respect but still admire him after knowing who that Joker really is.

"I wonder how uncle and aunt doing in America now?"

All she know is that they told her they have something important to do there which might involve the Joker job, well she won't ask more since it doesn't seem like they want to talk about it and she keep having this uneasy feeling since her aunt till hasn't contacted her yet.

They told her they will all once they set foot on America but she still hasn't received any call or message.

"Maybe aunt forget."

She turn of the television as soon as she heard the front door open, it seems that her favorite cousin is home. She quickly ran toward where Ryoma is to give a big hug, since Ryoma is so cute and short she love to hug him so much.

But she stop smiling as she sees Ryoma eyes red in color as if he just stop crying just now.

"Ryoma, what happen?" She asks.

"Nana . . . Nanako . . ." Ryoma voice is shaking and she feel sad seeing Ryoma like this so she pulls him into an embrace.

"Are you alright? What happen?"

"Nanako." Ryoma calls her name again and she can feel as his tears is falling down on her blouse but she doesn't mind at all since Ryoma is much more important than the clothes she's wearing. She pat Ryoma head and pat his back with her other hand, she sing a soft lullaby hoping it will help the boy.

"Nanako."

"Yes?"

"I want to see mom."

She shook her head. "Your mom is in America with your dad, why do you want to meet her?"

"No dad."

"Ryoma?" She is getting worry, Ryoma is getting weird. "What do you mean?"

"Dad not here." Ryoma says.

"RYOMA!" She shouts. "WHY ARE YOU SAYING LIKE THAT?"

Ryoma keep crying ignoring Nanako shouting just now, seeing as he acting like this Nanako rush to the phone and start dialing Rinko phone numbers. Her whole body is shaking and she hears as something fall on the ground which worry her even more, what is going on?

"The number you have dialed doesn't exist."

Nanako froze at that spot as the phone drop on the ground, she has memorize Rinko phone number and she know Rinko would have told her first before changing her number.

"Ryoma . . ." Her voice is shaking. This uneasy feeling inside her rises and this is bad, very, very bad. "Ryoma!"

Ryoma hear her but he can't move, his body feel so weak and now he is lying down on the ground.

She cries as place her hand on his cheek, she doesn't know how Ryoma know this or is it true that Nanji . . . no, it's Joker. Joker is now dead.

Flashback

"Nanako I will be leaving for a while." Rinko says as she places both of her hands on Nanako shoulders.

"I will take good care of Ryoma."

"Please do and whatever you do. . ." Rinko lean near to her and whispers. "Don't ever let strangers in. No matter if that person is Ryoma friends or someone he knows, don't let them in no matter what."

"Why's that? Ryoma friends Momoshiro sometimes always come here for a visit."

"From now on you every excuse not to let him in, trust no one even our relative."

"Aunty . . ."

"Please, this if for Ryoma sake as well."

End Flashback

"Mom, I want to see mom." He mumbles as he try to stand up.

Nanako hold her tears, now she has not time to be sad. She must protect the boy no matter what.

He looks at the house and tightens his fist.

"I will just say hello, I think he won't mind."

It was then as he about to walk in he hear something fall down, getting worry he run in uninvited to see Ryoma on the ground.

"Echizen!"
