Hibike! Trumpet

A Hibike! Euphonium Fanfiction

Note: Goes by the order in which the episodes are in, so the story is the same as the original story, it's just from Kousaka's viewpoint. The story will be modified here and there; it won't be the exact same as the story in the anime. For example: some scenes will be skipped.

disclaimer: Hibike! Euphonium does not belong to me, no matter how much I pray to Yato for it to somehow be my creation.

Chapter 1: Anger and Emotions

The competition results were in.

Their school...gold.

Kousaka Reina stared at the huge poster that showed all the results. Gold? And it wasn't even the real gold.

But that didn't matter.

What mattered was the fact that they didn't make it to Nationals.

Tears dripped down her face. They didn't make it to Nationals. They had done so well, and they didn't make it to Nationals...

"Oh, we got gold," someone said sitting next to Kousaka. Kousaka turned her head and stared at the girl who had spoken up. Her name was...Kumiko Oumae. She gazed at the results, her face blank. She didn't seem to care that they didn't make it. This thought angered Kousaka. "Aren't you upset?" she asked furiously, tears still spilling from her eyes, dropping on her uniform. "We didn't make it! We should have made it!"

Kumiko tipped her head slightly. "Did you really expect us to make it to Nationals?"

Kousaka froze.

Did you really expect us to make it to Nationals?

How could Kumiko even ask that? Weren't they in this for Nationals? If she didn't expect them to make it, then she shouldn't even had joined the band! Fury rose up in Kousaka, and she rose to her feet. "How...how could you say that?" she yelled, her fists clenched. "We were practicing for Nationals! We entered this for Nationals! If you didn't think we'd do it, then what was the point of you joining band?!" She ran away, away from the measly gold they had gotten, away from Kumiko, who apparently didn't believe in her own band, away from everything. Everything.

But not her own potential.

Kousaka stopped, far away from the auditorium where people were crying or laughing, screaming or cheering. She was going to high school soon. They'd have a band. They'd try for Nationals. And she would join that band. They would make it to Nationals.

And then Kumiko would eat her words.

a/n: This chapter was really short, I know, but it's technically just an introduction. Anyways! Thank you so much for reading the first chapter of Hibike! Trumpet! I really appreciate if you could review and give me some tips on my writing! This is the first story I have published...and I'm planning some other stories, too...anyways...I'm currently watching Hibike! Euphonium, and it's really really really good, so I wanted to write a fanfic with the original story, just from Kousaka's viewpoint. Fun. I'll probably update when I can...which means maybe a week or two between updates? Idk. Thanks again for reading, and please review!
