A beautiful melody was heard from the music room.
The once silent hallways were now filled with the breath taking music.
"The Midnight Tango" was its name.
After some time, the melody finally came to an end.
"Well done, Yuushi," said a brunette, clapping softly.
The blue haired tensai bowed down.
"Arigato, sensei," he said politely as he put his violin down.
She stared at him for quite a while, then asked, "Would you like to play a duet?"
Yuushi was caught off guard this time. His mouth was practically hanging down, mentally, of course.
"A duet?" He repeated.
His teacher nodded. "I have a student who is an excellent pianist. You two will make a wonderful pair," she concluded.
At least Yuushi managed to keep his cool. He pushed back his glasses and simply said, "I'll consider."
A duet would be like playing doubles in tennis, he thought. He and Gakuto made a quite unbeatable pair, but that's tennis.
He had the talent and passion in playing the violin, alone, that is. A duet? That's another question.
"Rika Shirako," the teacher suddenly said. "She's a genius."
The name seemed familiar, thought Yuushi. Could it be…? Nah. Or is it?
"Rika Shirako?" Yuushi echoed.
The teacher smiled. "Seems like you already know her."
To be honest, Yuushi never knew that Rika could play the piano or any instruments at all.
To him, Rika was just another ordinary girl in his English class.
Although they'd been in the same class for three straight years, he never had a proper conversation with her before.
I'd like to hear her play, for once…
"Yuushi?" his teacher's voice broke his thoughts. He snapped back into reality.
"Hm?"
"About the duet…" She started but was cut of by the tensai.
"Ok."
She smiled and she said, "Same time next week, okay?"
Yuushi nodded.
As she was about to walk out of the door, she added, "I'll be informing Rika to come next week, don't forget."
When she was gone, Yuushi sighed.
What have I got myself into…?
With that, he walked out of the door.
