My Desires

Nakahara Sakurako

Author's note.

So usually I would have chapter # in the title.

If there's no chapter number like this- it means it's a short chapter and it's not really important. They're side stories with bits of extra information so feel free to read it if ya want. Or skip.. your choice. 

I will keep these short as well. 

Sakurako's POV

"Otonokizaka?" 

"Yep!"

"That dying school?"

"D-dying.." Nico gets all close to me. "It's not dying! Not when I become very popular!" 

"Ahahahha- Well... My parents don't really care which school I apply to. As long as I get a high school degree then that's fine. I'm going to work with my family. My mother is a yoga instructor and my papa is a fitness coach."

"Ooohh! That means you have room right?"

"Room?"

"Is there a place we can use to practice? Like... a dance studio!"

"Oh! I know what you mean. I'll ask my mother since she has a spare room. It's rarely used. It's quite small as well."

"That's fine! We can use it after school! I can't imagine a better place for dance practices! Also since the gym is right next to yoga- we can stay fit!"

"I guess."

"Are you interested in joining?" Nico holds my hands.

"Of course! A-Rise is so awesome, but we will be more... awesome-er!" That's not a word...

"Done!" Sachi shows us a quick sketch. "I call this- the trio of Love Heart! The founders of Love Heart!"

"Founders? I just joined..." 

"Nonsense Sakurako! You are our lyrics writer! Right?"

"R-right." I have.. a thing for writing and poetry is my forte. I've written my own songs before and even sung my own lyrics. I think it's pretty good. Nico seems to love it, but I just joined. No way I can be one of the founding members of Love Heart. I mean... without me- Love Heart has no lyrics writer- that means no song. Guess I'm pretty important to this group. 

"Onee-chan."

"Yes Etsu?"

"I'm tired."

"Ah. I'll tuck you into bed. Give me a minute." I carry Etsu. "I'll be back."

"Mmm. Take your time." Nico stands up and gives Etsu a kiss on the forehead. "Younger siblings are always so cute~"

"Mmmm." I totally agree. 

"Then I'm your big sister Nico~" 

"No." Nico and Sachi just have an odd relationship. Sachi is the happy go kind of person and Nico is grumpy, but with me- Nico is a lot more nicer to me. 

"Nico! Look at me now!" Sachi now has twin tails like Nico. "Do I look like you?"

"Impressive." Nico gives Sachi a thumb up. "You look super cute." 

"Sleep well Etsu." I give Etsu a kiss on the forehead. She's fast asleep. School is really draining her. She's having lots of fun though. Back to Nico and Sachi- 

"Nico Nico Nii~" Sachi is.... K-Kawaii... "Oh hey Sakurako."

"H-Hi." 

"Stop that!" 

"Oh come on Nico! You were so adorable when you did that Nico Nico Nii! Please do one!"

"No. Never! It's embarrassing!"

"You will have to do it for your fans."

"No way! I can think of something better!"

"Boring! Oh hey Sakurako! Check out my new sketch. This is Nico when she's a lot older."

The chest size is... umm- I don't think Nico will get a chest of that size... Not going to lie and no offence Nico. -___-

She does look pretty though. I'm sure Nico would blossom to a pretty, tiny girl. 

"Sachi, quit starring at me."

"I can't! I'm just wondering if your chest will ever blossom."

"Sakurako."

"Y-yes Nico?"

"Welcome to Love Heart!" 

"You said that already." 

"I know- It's just that... I have two members with me! it's so exciting!"

"You have to wait a year."

"It's fine. No need to rush! I'll just recruit more people in the mean time." 

Nico is really serious about becoming a school idol. I think she has what it takes to be a school idol. 

"So how is Otonokizaka?"

"Ummm... nothing special really. UTX is a lot cooler."

"Yea. Some open house. Super impressive, but oh boy do they expect a lot from students."

"YEP! I failed the entrance exam." Nico crosses her arms. 

"So... you both had no intentions of going to Otonokizaka?" Sachi asks. "Wow. I've always wanted to go to Otonokizaka. My mother and older sister graduated from Otonokizaka. Personally- I'm loving it at Otonokizaka."

"Really?" Nico tilts her head.

"There's a kendo club that I joined first thing in school."

"You're part of the kendo club?" 

"Yep. Don't worry- it won't affect my time with you and Love Heart. I'm just there to learn. I'm not competing."

"Oh."

"I watch too much animes and I just wanna learn the basic use of a sword. That's all." 

"Kendo is great to maintain fitness I guess so it's not all that bad." 

Nico and Sachi are really social. To be honest... I'm kinda shy. I never really worked out with my dad. I've only done a lot of yoga with my mama so I plan on selling papa's gym. I have no clue how to manage a gym and no way I can be a yoga instructor and a gym coach at once! Papa says the he fine with selling the gym to someone else. More profit for him and more money for retirement. 

"Are you the only child Sachi?" Nico and Sachi are still talking. I'm just listening. I'm just... I don't talk much. I don't know why- it's not like I'm shy. I just... don't feel like it?

"Yep. Just me and my parents. I never had much friends when I was young. I spent most of my time drawing and reading. Even till now- that's until I met you Nico. I'm in love with you-"

"Okay... didn't need to know that."

"What? You hearing this Sakurako! Nico doesn't love me." ;(

"Hahahaha-" I just laugh it off and rub the back of my head. "You will find your one true love one day."

"But she's right here!" Sachi shakes Nico. 

"Well.. If you see it that way, but love works in such mysterious ways. That's what my mama keeps telling me. Just have faith. Even the tiniest bits of hope."

"Then... I hope that Nico loves me-"

"Nope."

"It's not working Sakarako." Sachi gives me a mean look. "I'm not even spiritual or religious. I don't even have a shred of hope." Sachi sighs. 

"You will meet your love one day. It's not Nico I guess. Maybe it is?"

"No it's not." Nico replies back to me. 

"Then... I don't know! It's too soon to even fall in love. How about I show you two around my mama's yoga place? Let's take a look at that spare room yea?"

"Sure thing Sakurako and thanks again." 

"No problem Nico." 

Love Heart. I heard the colour theme is pink and red. 

hahahha~ Etsu loves to colour red while I love the colour pink. Maybe I'm destined to meet Nico and Sachi.
