Osana na Jima no Koto
(Childish and Unattractive Things)

Prologue: Childhood

What's 'Osana' ??? Well... It's a long story... I first found those cute little dojinshi, you know, with stories in 4 pics only on an English site and as they were adorable... And the series already translate in English, I send them on different ML to share them with friends... Then, I had an idea: What about writing a sequel with whoever was interested in it ?

The rules are very simple: I write the prologue, the first chapter, and the one who has an idea (who's inspired...) write the following part. To be sure that two persons doesn't try to write the same part, the first who has an idea and wants to write it informs me. We use the characters as they were in the Osana series, or if you prefer with the role they have in the pics: for example, Akagi and Kogure are Hanamichi's parents, Mitsui his brother and Ayako is Rukawa's mother (his father is dead). To be sure that the characters's roles are respected, I want to read every fic before allowing them to be sent. The authors must keep the characters's roles from the Osana series, but also the ones the other authors chose: for example the first authors interested in writing this sequel already decided than Sendoh will be a teenager, just like Hanamichi and Rukawa.

Here is the prologue, in fact a short summary of the pics...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once upon a time, in a little city called Kanagawa on this little blue planet commonly called 'Earth', lived a little boy with amazing fox-like icy blue eyes who loved only two things in life: sleeping and playing basket.

In the same little city called Kanagawa on the same little blue planet commonly called 'Earth' lived an other cute little boy with amazingly red hair, soft brown eyes and the most naive and innocent soul of all the universe.

One day, or rather one night, the little boy with mesmerizing icy blue eyes had been wake up by cries and loud noises in a nearby street. Cursing, our half-sleeping little boy (whose name was Kaede Rukawa) got up to see who the hell DARE to woke him up.

Clutching tightly his pillow, he discretely slid outside and trotted about to the disturbing noises... Here stood our cute little boy with bright red hair, Hanamichi Sakuragi. His daddy, Akagi, had kicked him out 'cause he was angry... As usual. And so, Hanamichi was in the street, knocking, banging the door with all his 5 year-old strength and crying his eyes out.

Kaede, half-dozing, called him angrily and soon both of our cute little boys were brawling on the floor, cursing and insulting each other...
When Kaede's mother, the beautiful Ayako, went out to find her missing son, she found him on the floor, sleeping, with an adorable little boy with red hair by his side (they were tired out from fighting: remember they're only children !!!). She took the two of them with her, not wanting to let this little angel alone in the deserted streets...

The next morning, she returned Hanamichi home, meeting his frightening father who was rather relieved to see that somebody had take care of his son. She was happy that her little Kaede had meet Hanamichi, her son not having many friends... And as she was soooo nice, Hanamichi agreed with her. And so their 'friendship' begun...

The morning, when Hanamichi was late (he used to miss the bus...), Kaede was used to ride him to school with his tricycle, not caring about being late himself (even if Taoka, the man in charge of the kindergarten, always scold him).

Kaede has a lot of success among the girls, with Haruko for example, one of Hanamichi's school friends, and with many other little girls in the city. In fact, they often offered him love letters, almost all days. He was used to refusing them. One day, Hanamichi quarreled with him, finding him too rude with the girls and since THAT day, he chose to wait his coming before refusing them...

And so was their life:

One raining day at Kaede's place, they played a game called making little dolls. Hanamichi drew Kaede's face on his and since that moment, Kaede always slept with it...

When Hanamichi's school organized a "test of courage" Kaede, who wanted to see Hanamichi, came and surprised so much an already scared and trembling Hanamichi that they finished brawling and fighting... As usual.

In autumn, they went together to find chestnuts, to Kaede's delight to find something which looked the same... As Hanamichi's head !!!

One day, Kaede came to see Hanamichi but this one was not at home. Hanamichi's sweet mother, Kogure, said to him that he was in the park with his big brother. He had been scolded by his father and was crying, using his brother's pants as a kleenex...Kaede felt furious to see somebody near HIS Hanamichi and jumped on Hanamichi's brother, Mitsui, kicking him in the back. Mitsui -Micchie, as Hanamichi called him- was first angry at him, but soon he understood that the 'brat' was only jealous -something easy to guess when you see HOW Kaede was clinging on to Hanamichi- and simply went away, grinning...

And Kaede's birthday... His best childhood memory... The Jan 1st... Hanamichi didn't knew what present he could give to him but Kaede bring him out of the town, showing him HIS place, from where it was possible to see the whole city... They stood here the whole day, playing, making snowmen... At the end of the day, Hanamichi realised he gave nothing to Kaede. Or so he thought.
But for Kaede, he gave him the best present of all: a new year's date...

Next start of the new school year, they started elementary school. Hanamichi was really afraid but didn't wanted to admit it. He began to fight with Kaede about it, but this one suddenly froze, hearing his mother. He would not be in the same school as Hanamichi: until middle school he had to go to Shiritsu, an important private school (thanks to his dead father) and will not be able to play with Hanamichi as often...

One evening later in the year, Kaede came to Hanamichi's place like he did almost every evening. Hanamichi had got kick out again... He was a little angry when he saw Kaede, but this one only invited him to spend the night at his place... As he always did.

That night, they came to a nearly park and spoke. About themselves, about their parents... Even Kaede found Hanamichi's father a little too mean... Our cute little boys were really serious.
Especially Kaede who chose this moment to propose to Hanamichi...

This one didn't really understand the concept of marriage. Wasn't it like... Moving ? But the idea of living without his father and be always with Kaede pleased him. And so he accepted...
Kaede kissed him gently on the lips, taking it as an oath and saying that Hanamichi would be his bride in the future. Another concept the innocent Hanamichi didn't understand... And so Kaede tricked him !!!

Years passed, our cute little boys grew up.... And then, one time, the two were finally able to attend the same high school, Hanamichi wanting Kaede to cancel this old promise, this one wanting to keep it, considering it to be 'valid for a lifetime'. And here our story began...

End of Osana Summary


The summary is done !!! Now, it's time to began the sequel !!! Ohohohohohohoh !!! I can't wait to see it !!! Ohohohohoh !!! I want comments and critics !!!

For the ones who are interested in participating, here is my e-mail: zeynel@moncourrier.com

Oh!!! And one thing for the authors who didn't see the pics... Ayako (Kaede's mom) uses their first name to speak to them or says 'Hana-kun' and 'Kaede'... But when Sakuragi speak to Kaede, he says 'Rukawa' and this one says 'Sakuragi' (or Do'aho...). So, at the beginning of the fic we have to use it, too. After... Well, we're the ones who have to develop their relationship, haven't us ? I personally chose to use their first name in the prologue, 'cause they're still children. After all... It's not the same.

Kogure: But... But...
