Prologue: Her words which gave my life colors

"Number 14 Arima Kousei please get ready." The announcement echoed through the room but all I could think of was one thing, Miyazono Kaori, The contestant bowed and walked off the stage happy as if he just played out of his entire piano life, I got up from my depressed sitting position and walked off to the stage.

I staggered to the grand piano on the stage, adjusted the chair and was about to play but my mind was blank, as if I was staring into an abyss of darkness , alone I sat with no one there to help me out not, a virtual image of my mom appeared in front of me, as if to spite me, harsh and deadly words kept on piercing my heart, damaging it and I was like a warrior being forced to fight an army of millions, arrows like words were sent flying at me and I was prepared to accept my fate, just then, a voice called out to me "ARIMA KOUSEI-KUN DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE." I was immediately brought back to reality and glanced towards the audience seats.

People were looking at me anxiously waiting for me to start my performance, judges were staring at me to evaluate my performance, Tsubaki and Watari were worried for me praying their hearts out to god. I finally understood why Kaori wanted to play on the stage, there were people waiting for me, and I couldn't betray their expectation.

I gave a small grin and placed my hands on the keys and I slowly played, chopin ballade No.1 in G minor op 23, a rich sound deep and filling reverberated through the room and audience was immersed in my performance even though It was only the beginning of my journey through my life. I slowly sped up, even more quicker, even more intense, and even more sorrowful . I projected my life to my audience and judges, some began to tear up, some felt pity but none of it mattered to me, only you Miyazono kaori, only you, if it meant taking on the world for your survival, I would do it for you so I beg of you Don't leave me, Don't leave me to face the harsh reality of life, you can hit me all you want, force me to buy all the caneles you want so please don't go.

Suddenly I was brought into another place, the azure blue sky and ocean blue shared the same space, I looked around to find out what was going on but I couldn't move except my hands on the keyboard. "Im here" a voice resonated in me and she appeared. Kaori has appeared in my vision and she looked towards me with sorrowful, remorseful eyes. I knew what it meant, I cried deeply in my heart while showing Kaori a smiling face, I did not want Kaori to leave seeing me cry for the last time as her latest memory of me , that would be the worst I would never wish upon my most hated enemy, much less my beloved Kaori.

She took out her violin and played together with me for the last time as we were at the climax of our playing, we were together, nothing mattered in the long run, an asteroid could destroy the world ending all life on earth, it didn't matter, as long as I was with Kaori. Then it was reaching the end of the song, Kaori suddenly stopped and turned to look at me, it was time for her to leave the world, a gust of wind blew gentle and raised the petals as Kaori slowly dissipated into the ever ending scenery of blue

I begged in my heart to the merciless god who bestowed this illness to the woman I loved, God please don't take her from me, "wait ,don't leave me, please don't leave me, I bribe you with caneles, just please don't leave me." Kaori's body slowly turned into petals and within her blew out her feelings and I understood everything, everything was predestined. The imagery of Kaori was about to end and I saw her face, with the last tears in her eyes as she left my world.

I unwillingly brought myself to reality and had a few notes left to play, striking the keys with intensity stronger than a lion, I ended the song with a light touch of sadness, took a bow and left the stage, many applauded and cheers were calling for an encore, some of the audience were sobbing understanding the pain I left in my piano.

I headed to the resting room and sat down depressed, Kaori was no longer here with me, my reason for my life was over, Emi and Takeshi walked over to me and saw my tears in my eyes. I finally broke down, my body would no longer listen to my commands and I cried my eyes out.

Emi and Takeshi only stood there unable to do anything, they understood from my playing that I lost someone important to me and could only watch over me knowing no words would be able to heal my broken heart, Watari and Tsubaki walked in and did their utmost best to comfort me but failed.

I did not want to hear anything, the only thing I wanted to hear was Kaori's voice, but I knew it was an impossible thing as my beloved Kaori was no longer lingering in this world, I cursed god for doing such a cruel thing to me as I sunk even deeper to the abyss of darkness, secluding and barricading a wall around me, only I could escape from it if I wanted to but I did not wanted to leave it, if the darkness will let me forget my pain and agony, I would gladly accept the arms of the dark.

Thinking I had a perfect barrier that will not be destroyed, I was about to enter the world of darkness until an unexpected person stopped me. Mom had reached out to me and when I saw mom, all my emotions came flying out and my eyes turned red as a stream of salty water leaked out from my eyes even though I thought I was dry.

I went to embrace my mother, my mother had tortured me from young to raise me into the pianist I was now, but I still loved her, my honey memories of mom was me waking up under the piano while she played her favorite song and my melody , love sorrow.

"Mom why are you here?"
"Kousei, I'm here to stop you from entering the dark."

"Please mom let me in, I can't stand it any longer, music is taking my loved ones from me, it took you and Kaori from me. The dark will save me from the pain."

I saw my mom cry, she was happy I stilled loved her.

"I love you Kousei, that's why I won't let you in. In there is a nightmare, you will suffer more and you are my treasure I will not let my treasure be exposed to such suffering."
"Mom…"
"Besides, I made a trade with god, he promised me to return you someone special to you but you must face hardships in the near future."

"Someone special, who is it?"
"You will know once you wake up so now wake up and understand her words which brings you color to your life.

Shortly afterwards, I return back to my mind and saw Watari , Tsubaki, Emi and takeshi all looking at me worried. I smiled at them signifying I was alright and realized it was all my imagination, the someone special was just to wake me up, I decided to be stronger from then onwards to not worry my friends any longer.

Just as I was about to stand up , my phone rang , it was an unidentified number, I was going to ignore it but it began to annoy me so I picked the phone up.

"Yujin A kun how was the competition?"
I was speechless, I couldn't believe it, thinking it was all an imagination once more, I slapped myself but it was painful. It was not an imagination, It was real, I cried slowly pouring out my emotions.

"Yeah, it was ok, Welcome back Kaori."
