Zana (A Zane x Kawaii~Chan Story)

Nana...

"That was actually beautiful, Zane," Nana said, amazed. Zane was silent, looking down.

"I suppose... since you revealed your life... I guess it would only be fair for me to tell you mine..." Nana looked at the floor. Zane just stayed silent.

Nana sighed. Then she started speaking. "I was born as the seventh child in my family. My parents couldn't think of better names, so they named each of us a number in Japanese. Listing from oldest to youngest, including myself, there is Ichi, Ni, San, Yon, Go, Roku, Nana, Hachi, Ku, Jû, Ju, and Ní. All very similar names, but we had English nicknames for each other. I didn't need one, but others, like Ni or Ju did. All of my siblings had something unique about them... Ichi was sporty, Ni and San got straight A's, Yon is really lucky, Go is an actor, Roku is emo, Hachi owns a car company, Ku is rich, Jû and Ju are lady killers, and Ní plays NBA football... everyone had something amazing and unique about them... everyone but me. I got B's and A's, I wasn't that pretty, I was boring, I was shy, and nobody really liked me... I got bullied a lot by meif'wa, humans, and especially werewolves... I eventually had to change. I read that book I told you about, Kawaii Cookie, and I immediately felt determined to become like her. She was so happy all the time— always smiling, thinking positively, and everyone loved her... I had to be like her. So I changed myself... I developed new habits, new clothing, new way of speaking... and that's how I came to be Kawaii~Chan... no one knew my real name from then on except for my family. People stopped bullying me, they started noticing instead of ignoring me... I was actually being liked. And that's who I was, who everybody liked, when before no one liked me for me... they liked Kawaii~Chan. That's who all of our friends like... not Nana, Kawaii~Chan. Nana isn't even there... it's another person. And I met you... I'd seen you before, but not like this... I noticed you... and immediately I felt a connection. One that my true self connected to, not like Damien or Reese connected to Kawaii~Chan. And I revealed myself to you... and you were the first person to not hate me for faking myself— you understood. And now I'm here with you, and you understand me, and I understand you, and I love it. I love you... and I don't ever want to lose that."
