I do not own itazura na kiss

Also, I Am not a writer, simply just a fan with a lot of wonders and idea's

About almost anything i watch or read.

Ive been floating around this community lately, reading and writing reviews (under no name)

Basically i have always loved the manga and adored the live action (itazura na kiss love in tokyo)

Honoka and yuki did such an amazing job that their characters came to life in my head, also because the original manga had no official ending, i have been looking for closure and there are a lot of "what if's"i end up thinking about, so i figured i would share, i have to emphasize though that

I am not a writer, and i don't have the time or anyone to proofread it for me

So i do apologize the lack of professionalism or the errors and stupid made up facts that might come up in the future. but hey this is fan fiction right ?

If you see something that's an error, let me know and il fix it, if you don't like the story, you don't have to read it, this is solely to let my creative juices out and to help me be more open through writing. Sorry for the long intro… enjoy !

This fanfiction starts in the episode where sahoko and her dad gets invited in the Irie's house for lunch, and it begins when naoki and sahoko leave together, while kotoko and the rest of the family stays at home

Kotoko gets ready for bed, she stays silent the whole time, trying to pretend that she isn't affected with what's been happening, she knew this was coming, she knew that all of this will come to an end soon, but why does it feel so unreal to her? It wasn't as if her and naoki were together, she can't hate sahoko, she seemed like a very nice and honest person.. Not to mention beautiful, a good cook, kind and graceful, nothing like her… she jumped at the knock of the door..

"Come in" she responded… trying to sound okay and getting her fake smile ready for Mrs. Irie but instead was shocked to see her dad

"We need to talk" his eyes fixed on her, as if he knew exactly how she was feeling

"otou -san , not now, im tired and its been a long day, can we talk about it tomorrow ?" kotoko was avoiding eye contact,

Shigeo couldn't wait anymore,he had to tell her, he took a seat and looked his daughter straight in the eyes " were moving out" he said in a serious tone

"What?! Otou-san.. If this is about irie-kun i can manage, I told you i'll forget about him, just give me time" she pleaded

Shigeo sighed "kotoko, I'm your dad and it's my responsibility to protect you, even though you're trying to hide it i know, also this isn't just because of that, we've been depending on the irie's for a while now, once naoki and sahoko get married, it won't be right for us to stay here"

Kotoko was silent, tears were starting to form in her eyes, she loves irie-kun but more than that, she loved his family, she had treated and loved them as her own, so many memories in this room, in this house, she didn't want to go

Shigeo couldn't help but feel bad for his daughter, he didn't want to be the one to give her even more pain, with how things are going, he knew he had to protect her , he has to...and the only way for her to be stronger is if she moves on, this was very clear to him.

"Look kotoko, your uncle is moving here in tokyo to manage the restaurant until i decide on how to relocate it , but in the meantime, my friend in osaka is opening up a business and wants me to help him open up a restaurant there, its a fresh new start. Just you and me like before, it will be grea-"

"Wait, you already planned this ?" kotoko raised her tone a little, she was starting to lose it,

"Kotoko this is for the best, i'm your father, please trust me, i know it's hard, but we have to move forward" he looked at his daughter, her tears started falling down now, she couldn't hold it in anymore, and he felt as if he failed, i should have just rented a house, why did it have to be like this.. My little girl..

Kotoko finally spoke up "well, it's not like i have a choice now.."

"My decision is final, one day you will understand.." he gets up to head out , figuring she needs her privacy, it was hard for him, raising kotoko on his own, he always felt bad that kotoko didn't have a mother figure to look up to, he didn't know how to talk to her about these kind of things, but he was trying his best despite everything. "You have a week to pack and say goodbye to your friends, tomorrow i'll call your school and let them know...oyasumi" and with this , he leaves closing the door on his way out.

Kotoko gets up lies in her bed silent, her tears streaking down her face, then it came, all the emotions she was trying to keep inside, she couldn't hold it in anymore, she buried her face in her pillow, crying everything out.

It's not fair, why did it have to end up this way ?! why all the way in osaka ?! why sahoko-san? I can't- i don't know if i can take anymore.. I don't know if i can move on, how ?

Kotoko spent hours crying in her room, nobody knew, nobody heard. She made sure of it.

Until she finally fell asleep , tired from all the crying she just fell asleep and the house was finally silent.. Until a key had unlocked the front door. It was him.

Naoki locked the front door behind him, taking off his shoes, "what a long day" the thought to himself. He catches a glimpse of kotoko's childish flip flops on the shoe cabinet, a small curve forms in the corner of his mouth, "how childish, i wonder if that idiot is still up" as soon as he realized what he was doing , he shook off the smile and hurried upstairs to get ready for bed, unaware of the change that's about to take place very soon.

Rate and review please ! i would love to hear your thoughts if you did decide to read it !

Will update really soon !
