I don't own NANA. These are just mere speculations of mine that are rolled up into a worthless fanfic, so don't sue me!

Want You Back

Takumi sighed heavily as he anxiously awaited his wife and daughter's arrival in England. He did not wait alone. Little Ren patiently strummed on the strings of his guitar while he and Naoki sat a distance away. Hachi's plane had already landed, and all that was left was for her to come strolling through the arrivals' corridor, hand and hand with his cute little Satsuki.

She never hinted to staying with him during her time there, but Takumi was sure that with a little help from Naoki she just may be persuaded into gracing him with her presence at his humble abode. It's been a while since he had her cooking, and even so that he desperately craved one of her home-cooked meals. But it then dawned on him once more that he had given all of that up for the sake of Trapnest…for the sake of another woman…for the sake of Reira, who even still dared not to sing for him. He had taken his wife for granted assuming that she would always be there for him to return to her whenever he felt like it. Having realized this again, why would she even lift a finger to fix him, perhaps, even a small and quaint dinner? The purpose of her little trip is to search for the high priestess*, after all. But somehow, Naoki's strange little fantasy of them sitting as a family and enjoying a meal together ended up as his own.

His thoughts came back to reality when he heard the high voice of a little girl call, "Daddy!"

Satsuki ran to her father with arms wide open, and he happily scooped her into his long arms to cradle her and kiss her forehead. She clung to him tightly and snuggled against his warmth. Takumi looked beyond her shoulder as he anticipated her mother, who was not with the little girl.

"And where is mommy?"

"Oh, she had trouble getting a bag from overhead so I left without her." Satsuki snorted. She was known for leaving her mother to look for her in the most awkward of situations and places.

"Just as expected of my little girl…" Takumi smiled faintly as he looked upon Satsuki's seriousness. He could not get angry with such a precious little angel. Besides, knowing his wife she probably packed an enormous bag and claimed it as a carry on, which probably ended up getting jammed in an overhead compartment. In a way, Satsuki was right for ditching her.

"Brother!" Satsuki called to Ren as he walked up from behind with Naoki. She wrestled her way out of Takumi's arms and ran to hug him. "I missed you! Are you coming back with us this time?"

"As if…" Ren started coldly. "I'm staying with daddy until I die."

"Now Ren, don't talk to your sister that way." Takumi softly scolded the boy as he turned to face him. Ren had a way with expressing himself that would leave ones that did not know him shocked. And yet, Takumi couldn't help but to be soft on him as he was with Satsuki. He loves his children so much that it proved to be a difficult task when disciplining; they were just too cute.

Naoki chuckled at the little family squabble. It had not yet been five minutes, and it seemed they have gotten into a small dispute already. The blonde's facial expression stiffened upon seeing what seemed to be a very merry couple strolling up to them.

"You're right! I shouldn't have packed those extra boots." Hachi laughed with her companion. Her live voice shot a strange sensation up Takumi's spine, and he quickly spun to see her smiling face.

"Na—" He cut his apparent greeting for his wife to eye the unwanted baggage that accompanied her. "Oh…I wasn't expecting 'you' as well."

"I hope it isn't a problem, Takumi." Hachi stated warmly. "He wants to see Nana too you know."

"Uh, no problem…" Takumi eyes traced a stoic Nobu up and down. "…no problem at all."

'Houston, we do have a problem.' Naoki rolled his eyes as he thought to himself.

*Junko referred to Nana by this title in I believe Chapter 70.

I have been debating whether I should post this one, but since we won't have another chapter until September, I couldn't help it! I hope Ai-sensei gets well soon…I hate for anyone to be sick.
