What is the difference between nana and shichi?
七 is the kanji for 'seven', which can be read both as 'shichi' and 'nana', where 'shichi' is used when the 'digit 7' (cardinal) sense of the word is intended and is widely more used, and 'nana' is more like 'the counter' (ordinal) sense of the word.
七百 i.e. can be read both 'nanahyaku' and 'shichihyaku' meaning '700', but the latter is more common. There are some cases which the two readings can't be replaced.
七時 e.g. is read 'shichi ji' only, meaning '7 o'clock', where 七つ e.g. is only read as 'nanatsu' meaning '7' as a counter. (七つの星 reads 'nanatsu no hoshi' meaning 'seven stars, the big dipper'.)
There are 'exceptions' too like 七日 is read /na no ka/ meaning 'the 7th day of the month' in which the kanji for seven sounds 'nano'.

The sentence is incomplete, so the best I can give you is part-by-part translations:
"watashi WA anata ni ittekita koto" : "The time/fact that I came back to you"
"o" : objective/causative particle
"hazukashi sou na" : "embarrassing ..." (the continuation is missing).
I could guess from few different ways I can continue the sentence myself, that it might mean: "I'm embarrassed about coming back to you"

What does the word kara mean in Japanese based on this sentence the itsu datte boku ga mamoru kara?
Japanese is replete with particles that are used, I can say, not intentionally or thoughtfully in order to 'add' a significant meaning, but rather to hone the meaning that the sentence already carries depending on the settings or the preceding or following contexts of that sentence.
In your sentence, 'kara' would originally be translated to certain words like 'since', 'so', 'that's why', 'you see' etc; or it would more or less be simply used as emphasis on the fact stated that "I WILL protect you". But it would make sense only in context. I'll try examples:
1)
-Romaji: anshin shite nemutte kudasai. Itsudatte boku ga mamoru kara.
-English: relax your mind and sleep. I "WILL" protect you all the time.
-(Here the best case would be to interpret it as emphasis.)
2)
-Romaji: ano takara wa ubawareru nante fukanou desu. Itsudatte boku ga mamoru kara.
-English: There is no way the treasure will be stolen. Since I'm always keeping it well-guarded.
-(Here it's following a sentence where you claim a fact, so it will be interpreted as 'since' to bring reason for that claim.)
What does koromaru mean in Japanese?
こる (koru) means "stiff" or "to stiffen."
E.G., 肩がこる (kata ga koru) "to have stiff shoulders."
Wrong grammar! anata o aishiteru is the right grammar. Anata means you (commonly used by females) or it can be used for older partners(wife,husband), o = Direct object indicator, aishiteru means I love you. So "anata o aishiteru" means I love you dear/ I love you.
Aisareru : to be loved
Aisaretai : want to be loved
Aisaretakatta : wanted to be loved
The grammatical person can differ depending on situation and context (e.g. I, he, they etc).
What does Dakirai no hibi jyuukuu sai mean?
