My deepest apologies to those who wanted updates to my other stories.

Is it really MY fault that the plot bunnies won't stop jumping inside my head? They drove me nuts I tell ya, NUTS! They just couldn't keep quiet, they had to keep whispering new ideas to me.

They were tempting me with their ideas…even carrots don't work on them anymore. They were whispering "Shadow's Tears…Shadow's Tears! Do it…do it…we won't let you sleep otherwise…"

So I had to obey them! (T_T) You guys understand right…?

So on with this prologue, and I hope you like the idea.


"I'll always take care of you. I'll never leave your side. The idea of parting from you makes my heart feel so heavy."

The golden haired boy ran a finger down a curvy body. The feel was smooth and the scent of the one in his hands was enchanting. He couldn't believe how lucky he was. This was heaven. He rubbed his cheek against a slender neck. Was it fate that the two had met?

Here was the reason why he woke up every morning. This was the only reason he needed. This relationship was the most fulfilling one he had ever experienced. The answer for all his doubts was bundled up into this package. This was his need, his passion…this was his beloved cello.

Keiichi opened aqua eyes and took in the magnificent specimen cradled in his arms. The polished wood shone in the afternoon sun.

"I love you," the boy whispered softly to the instrument. Unknown to the pair innocently sitting and enjoying the afternoon, an intruder lurked above them, safely concealed within the leaves of a tall tree.

"Geez, the way he talks. One could almost mistake his cello to be his girlfriend!" Lili threw his hands up in exasperation, having been watching this scene from almost 15 minutes. The cellist had a romantic sparkle in his eye and Lili was wondering if things were going a bit too far.

"Honestly, if his cello was a woman then…" Lili's voice trailed off as a sudden devious idea hit him.

"Oh boy, this is gonna be great!" Raising his wand he took careful aim. A beam of glittery substance shot from the star tipped wand's apex and glided over to Keiichi and his cello.

"What's this?" Keiichi asked as the sparkle fell around them. They suddenly began to glow creating a golden hazy mist. Keiichi took one hand off his cello while keeping the other firmly around its neck to shield his eyes.

When the glare ended, Keiichi looked around for his cello; only to find a surprise. In the exact same position where his cello had been was a girl. Her hair shone with the same color and highlights as his cello had. And she was completely…

Keiichi averted his eyes while a blush crept into his face and spread down his neck. The girl was sleeping soundly and appeared to have not noticed a thing. To save her pride, Keiichi removed his blazer and covered the girl's bare skin with it.

"Now…just where did you come from?"
