Oshiete Nanoka:
Part 01.
[version 1.0]
[Thanks to Fuu for her help]

"Ryuu-chan, Rai-chan, breaaaakfast!!"
A very sleepy woman with long, curly hair looks down from the stairs of a 2-store house. "Stop it, Nanoo~ka... I went to sleep just a little time ago..."
But the young dark-haired girl with a pan in her hands has no compassion. Today it's Rai's turn to make food, so why does Nanoka always ends up doing it instead?!
A young guy with light hair eats some rice at Nanoka's side, it's their downfall...
Nanoka gets really angry. If that's the case, don't eat anything!!!

Minutes later a still-angry Nanoka in school uniform goes out of the house. Rai-chan (who managed to drag herself to the first floor ^^;) is a little concerned that Nanoka left without eating anything while another tall young man (still in pajama) asks what's going on...
He is Tsutsumi Ryuuga, 25 years old and the eldest son of the family. He is a detective and has a special ability... his hearing is way better than normal.

The woman with long curly hair is... the second son of the family, in fact (^^; ): Tsutsumi Shishimaru (but he hates the name and likes to be called "Rai"). He is 20 years old and works as a hostess [in a bar, we figure]. He also has a special ability, his sense of smell (to Ryuuga's pain, since he's caught wearing smelly socks! ^^).
Last but not least the young boy. He's the third son and his name is Tsutsumi Takaya. He's 15 years old and goes to third grade at school. [That's the last grade before entering high school].
Of course he also has a special ability, his extremely sharp sight... that's how he notices that Rai's panties are flying away from the house because of the wind! (^^;;; )

After leaving Rai wondering about the fate of her (let's call him "her" from now on ^^; ) panties, Takaya leaves for school. But as he opens the main door, he stamps it right against Nanoka's head. She forgot something and was returning for it.
Her complete name is Tsutsumi Nanoka, only daughter and is 13 years old. She goes to first grade of school, and her special ability is....
....
well, none. (^^; )
Nanoka's and her brother's parents died early and the four of them have always supported each other.

As Nanoka arrives to the school's playgrounds she pats her head... she's been having a headache since that morning. A cute, blonde girl calls her then. "Nanokaaa!"
Nanoka turns around with a bright smile as somebody kicks a ball behind her. "Ah, Mahoko, morning..."
"Watch out, Nanoka!!"
And of course the ball hits the poor soul right into her forehead.[Talk about cures for headaches... ^^;;; ].
Mahoko runs to her very worried as other students gather around them. Nanoka lies on the floor wondering about her luck when...

"What's the matter, are you all right?"
Nanoka sits up at maximum speed. This voice?
A really cool looking dark haired guy is leaning towards her. "Did the ball hit you?"
Nanoka hits heaven. It's what she's been yearning all along: Adachi Ryou!
"It... It's nothing! I'm ok!" *heart* *heart* *heart* *hea---
"Leave her alone, Ryou, this breakable insignificant gal."

Nanoka turns around with an angry expression. Takayaa!! What a nuisance...
But her brother just looks on coolly. "Let's go (, Ryou)."
Mahoko helps poor Nanoka up and they both watch the two boys walk away.

Aaah... but, how cool he is!
Really cool *heart mark*
Calm, however kind...
Somebody like Takaya is no comparison for his kindness.
Nanoka has a flashback of Ryou. "Are you all right?"
Cool, cool, Takaya-senpai... *heart mark*
Indeed, Takaya... EH?

Nanoka looks at Mahoko in shock as Mahoko looks towards the older guys. Takaya-senpai...

Eh? Wh...what? Right now, if I'm not mistaken, Mahoko's voice....
"Mahoko-chan," asks Nanoka in wonder, "You like Takaya...?"
Mahoko blushes fiercely and is in total shock. "EEEHHH??"
"But, right now, you said 'Cool, cool, Takaya-senpai...'"
"UWAAAH! It went out of my mouth!?"
"Eh?"
Mahoko wonders still blushing how she could have said that aloud... Then falls back in shock. Waah! Waah! How unwise! Nanoka has noticed!!"

Nanoka sweats. She can hear Mahoko's voice... what a shock, that she likes Takaya. She heard it so suddenly... what on Earth...?
Her head starts to hurt again. Around her other students pass along and poor Nanoka can hear all their thoughts in her head... but it's too much and her head hurts more and more...

Nanoka wakes up in the infirmary. "Eh? I...?"
The doctor notices and smiles sweetly, then talks about the hit she took from the ball but is interrupted by Takaya, who seems to be quite annoyed at Nanoka for being so fragile (^^). But the doctor teases him about him being some worried about her than what he looks like... Then leaves them alone (after Nanoka gets to hear her thoughts as well).

Takaya looks at her with an indifferent look but Nanoka starts to cry and tells him about her being able to hear everybody's hearts (except his). Takaya is shocked but then reflects about his and his brother's special abilities, and says that hearing what's in people's hearts must be Nanoka's special ability. She must also learn how to control it.
But then Ryou appears and Nanoka reverts back to a girl living in the middle of heart-mark land. Was he worried about her?
But then she realizes she can't hear his thoughts either, but again, her thoughts are diverted when Takaya dismisses her again.

However, Ryou looks at Takaya with a happy expression. "Say, Takaya, why don't you give me Nanoka?"
Nanoka suffers an instant revitalization while Takaya looks at Ryou in surprise.
Ryou explains himself happily. Takaya has lots of brothers, but he is only one son so...
But Takaya looks at him with a dangerously protective look and cuts him short to Nanoka's surprise.
Ryou says it's a joke and soon both of them are laughing again. However Nanoka is still surprised at Takaya's reaction. Between some jokes and the others, Ryou grabs Nanoka before Takaya chases him out of the room. But Nanoka is in shock!

When he touched her, she received a stream of thought from him... (I'm) lonely... you two are enviable. I will be killed someday.

What kind of thing was that!?

Back in home, Nanoka is very depressed about both her new power and what she heard from Ryou, but Rai manages to lift her spirits up.
Meanwhile, Ryou is returning to his own home after saying bye to Takaya when somebody steps out of a car and hits him in the head!
Takaya is almost hit by a car running at full speed, and when he looks back... he sees a school bag lying on the floor and realizes it probably has something to do with the car that just passed. When he looks at the name on the bag, it's Adachi's.

Takaya calls his brother, the police detective, and tells him about what happened from a phone booth, then returns home.
Nanoka notices the extra bag, but Takaya just tells her to warn him if their brother calls. And of course somebody calls right in that moment scaring the hell out of them (^^;;; ). It's Ryou's mother, asking if he is with him. Takaya starts thinking about what just happened and...

...and of course Nanoka manages to hear it (^^; ).
Takaya is very mad that Nanoka heard his inner heart voice and spanks her a lot. However, when Nanoka is defending herself and grabs Ryou's bag, she can see what happened to him! Somebody hit him, knocking him out and then putting him into a car. Takaya tries to get more information out of her, but then Nanoka starts to cry and tells him what she heard before when touching Ryou, "I will be killed someday."
They must find him fast before something really bad happens to him!

To Be Continued... when I have the time ^^;;;
