"Amou stop following me!" ran down the hall to the music practice room
now entering the first one he saw
the door closed quietly behind him
Hino! quickly grabbing her and shooting his hand over her mouth
he stepped back pressing them both against the entrance wall
"Hino don't move" he whispered in her ear
her lips pressed into his hand. There so soft and warm he couldn't help but think to himself
"What is doing? Len let go " She screamed in her head
His hands are gentle , Hinos heart raced as she turned crimson red
Len could hear Amou foot steps slowly coming . He moved his hand and pulled Hino closer to his heart
" she smells of wild flowers " the smell ran through him
Finally Amou had ran by
quickly he let go
She gasped after catching her breath , she gazed at him with worry .
There eyes met
Suddenly Hino began to stumble
Len quickly grabbed her , she fell on top of Len who was protecting her from hitting the floor
There the two lye on the floor
Hino
Finally he had let me go
breathing heavy panting for more air
she lifted her head meeting lens eyes
"Why can't i look away?"
his hair shined a silver blue
" Len wh-" before she could finish, she calasped .
Len
"Hino " his heart raced faster as her head lay in his lap
Slowly Tsukimori caressed her head
" shes burning up! "
" please be okay" Len thought to himself
"Len?" Hino's soft lips spoke
"is she dreaming of me?" Len said slidding his fingers to touch her cheek
She really is something else a smile crossed his face
slowly he leaned down to Hino and grazed his lips to hers
Her hand moved gently placing itself in Lens
Hino
Its dark but i feel so warm
a voice called out, she ran after it trying to find the light with in the darkness
a picture of Len seemed to slip through
the voice called again "Hino please be okay"
she called out to him, suddenly something smooth pressed against her filling her body with flutter
Len
a small trickle of light hit Hino's face
Len pulled back from his secret kiss
Her face sparkled , a glow shimmering off of Hino's pale skin
" shes beautiful" He spoke as if he had loved her his whole life
" its okay Hino , I'll be here when you wake"
he held her tight and gently placed his head to hers
slowly he drifted to sleep , taking in Hino's sent with every breath he took.
Later
Hino awoke, " what am i doing here?" She looked up to see Len holding her.
Softly she moved her head to Lens chest quietly whispering " Thank you Len "
His eyes opened " You're awake " a soft smirk shown on his face
" Are you alright ?" he asked filled with worry
Hino got up and tried to stand
She stumbled around as she tried to move
"Hino stop!" Len yelled quickly picking up Hino
" You don't have to be so brave just cause you think you have something to prove"
Why is she always trying so hard? What is it about her? he thought
finally he sighed
"Len please put me down" Hino asked
he sat her down carefully on the piano chair
With out a word he reached for his phone
" I will be arriving with a guest, please prepare the acomidations " he asked the hung up
"No, Len i am fine really" Hino announced
He has already done so much for me. While thinking to herself she started to blush
Len grabbed there things . Then proceeded to reach for Hino.
" Your coming with me" Len said sternly
" I cant leave you like this" He placed his hand under Hino and lifted
I never realized how safe i felt with Len . Still hes very cold to me
Len carried Hino down the hall . " where is everyone?" she asked
He replied " They all left is almost 8"
the two arrived outside. The car arrived
He sat Hino inside, then entered himself
Hino looked at him with flushed eyes " my heart wont stop racing " she thought to herself
" Hino come here " Len said sternly now opening his arms to her
" you can rest your head on my lap if you need room to lay down"
Slowly Hino placed her head down and drifted off to sleep
Len gazed at Hino sorrow filled eyes" I'f only for tonight you will stay then to me it will be worth a thousand lonely nights alone"
reaching his hand down to remove a strand of hair from his sleeping angels face
The car arrived at Lens home
" She's to peaceful to wake " Len thought to himself
he carefully removed her head from his lap
He reached his hands to her side and carried her inside Bridle style
" Why does this feel right ? " he questioned to himself as he entered
" Master Tsukimori the acomidations are not yet ready"
Hearing what his butler said he walked into his room and placed Hino on the bed
" She's cold" Len pulled the covers over Hino
He stood over her watching her every breath
" please be okay Hino. If ever your heart stop it would take mine with it as well"
as it fell late his eyes grew heavy. He walked over and laid on the left side of his bed to be able to look at Hino
" if only you were the last thing i could see before at night and the first sight i see in the morn.
Lens heart grew heavy " she probably doesnt feel the same"
cough Hino's breath fell short . He placed his hand to her heart. " are you okay ?he whispered"
She woke up
"Len?" Hino said in a sleepy voice. quickly he removed his hand and placed it flat on the bed . still worried " are you feeling better ?"
noticing his sad tone she answered ." I am feeling alot better" then she placed her hand to his
he lifted his hand to hers " your hand fits perfectly to mine " the two twirled there fingers together and she placed her head to his chest.
gently he leaned his head to hers. The two held each other as if there was no one else left in the world
all night his thoughts ran wild. " you truly are the only one who has ever made me feel this way"
finally they drifted to sleep
THE NEXT MORNING
Hino awoke her hand searching for Len . Next to her was a dozen white roses and a card
she opened it.
Good Morning ,
There is a dress in the corner , please put it on and join me for breakfast
Hino stood up and turned her head. There sat a white dress soft with frill and glistening in the light
she reached to put it on . suddenly a small heart shaped box dropped. pressing her hand to the box she opened it.
Inside was a locket with the words "My heart belongs to you" engraved on it
Tsukimori " Hino smiled as she dressed
finally done she walked out to Tsukimori making her breakfast
"What is the dress for ?"she asked curiously
" Hino would you mind accompanying me to a dance?"
her expression changed " Yes " she replied shyly
The two ate and prepared to leave
Len wore a crimson blue suit with a white rose placed in the pocket
"I've never seen Len look so serious " she thought as Len spoke
" Hino please enter the car" he opened the door
Ariving at the hall
Tsukimori and Hino entered
Everyone was stairing at them . Tsuchiura,Kazuki,Yunoki,Fuyuumi and Shimizu were all the the party
She stopped and waved to her friends . Then she heard Tsukimori speak
Tsukimori bowed " Hino may i have this dance?"
she nodded , the two began to twirl Tsukimori's hand place on Hino's waste and the other intertwined with hers.
A blue light shown on the two . Round they went till the song had ended
Tsukimori reached his lips to her ear
" Will you be mine forever?" Hino pulled away taken back by Tsukimori's sudden advance
She could not answer
Tsukimori's eyes filled with hurt and rejection. He bowed "thank you for this dance Kahoko"
frustrated he walked away and gritted his teeth .
after walking outside he stopped in a small garden and knelt down " it smells like Hino" There he lay as the petals swirled in the breeze
Not knowing what could happen next " I have to try " he thought to himself
Mean while inside the ball room
Yunoki - Hello kahoko
Hino sighed and replied "Hello Yunoki
a evil smirk crossed his face
swiftly he pulled hino close to him and kissed her head
Tsukimori
He scanned the rooom his eyes searching for Hino . Finally he saw her
they expanded at the site of Yunoki kissing Hino
in a panic he exited the room " Len " Hino called out as she ran after him
gritting his teeth he entered the car
"No please Len she screamed as loud as her voice could carry " Hino finally reached the car and entered along side
Tsukimori . " What are you doing Hino?" Tsukimori yelled
"It was not what it looked like !" she exclaimed
" No Hino it was exactly what it looked like " he shouted back coldly his eyes be wild with furry
Her eyes filled with sadness " Please Len"
"Driver drop Mrs. Kahoko at her residence " Tsukimori called to the driver
"No I am staying with you , till you hear me out"
coldly he replied " If that is what you wish "
They arrived at Tsukimori's...
Tsukimori grabbed his things and stormed up stairs Hino quickly followed behind
" Hino i don't care anymore " he said as they entered his home
She reached over to touch him but he pulled away and grabbed a vase
crash! he shot it at the wall
"Stop your scaring me " she yelled back at him and pressed herself to the door
" I have never seen Tsukimori act this way, I have to stop him" Hino grabbed Tsukimori's arm holding it back from punching the wall
"Hino let me go" he said as he squirmed to get her off. Finally he pushed and Hino fell to the floor
" Remove yourself from my presence " hearing Tsukimori say such harsh words she gasped
" why would he say such things to me?" tears flowed and her hands began to shake
Tsukimori noticed Hino's sudden change in movement " Hino - I-" he began to say but it was to late Hino stormed into Len's room and shot her self on the bed crying harder then before
( incase your wondering why Hino did not storm out its cause its the middle of the night)
" why would i say such a thing when its not how i truly feel" Tsukimori thought to himself full of regret for his words
He walked over to his room "knock" " Hino may i enter?"
a weak voice cried out " leave me alone"
he ignored he request and entered
Tsukimori walked in and placed himself next to Hino on the bed . One hand over lapping her body
" Hino get up " he said softly
" What now ? are you going to tell me how much of a burden i have been to you ? Tomorrow i will leave and not bother you with me "Presence" again "
His eyes lit , In his frustration he pinned Her .
"Don't you get it Hino? you mean everything to me. I have loved you since the day i met you at the window outside the music room ! your the only one - he paused FORGET IT what do you care any ways "
Tsukimori placed his hands to his head a tears formed in his eyes"
Hino ignored him
" You can take the bed tonight If you choose to leave tomorrow i will honor your request "
Tsukimori walked out and laid on the couch " I'm a fool for thinking she would return my feelings " regretting his confession he closed his eyes
Hino
She turned over after Tsukimori had left the room
her necklace fell to her chest leaving the locket exposed
She opened it left side there was a picture of her and Tsukimori at the first priformance of the contest
on the other side were the words " i know no other melody but yours "
" i have never seen this side of Tsukimori . its always been as if he hated my very existance . Have i been trying so hard to be him that i avoided how he felt?"
Hino left the room quietly. She stood peeking her head over to see if Tsukimori was sleeping
He looks peaceful I have always been afraid of him but never noticed how much i wanted to be close to him as well
I can do it now . Her thoughts could not rest on her sweet prince
tilting her head meeting her lips with Tsukimori's
she blushed as she felt the warmth " may this kiss not be the last" she thought quietly
suddenly she felt his lips press back.
startled she fell backwards . "Hino what were you doing ?"Tsukimori asked as he helped her to her feet
"Len?" "Hino?" Tsukimori voice over powered hers
" I am sorry for how i acted towards you , the truth is i can't imagan the thought of any ones lips touching you but my own . You may not feel the same , if not then i am sorry for wasting your time on this unimportant matter"
This time Hino took no restraint in responding she put her head down and shyly replied " I love you"
Tsukimori reached his face to her chin and lifted it . He kissed her softly
the kiss had broke " Len if you dont mind would you come lay with me?"
he nodded and walked in the room , holding the door open for her
Tsukimori climbed into bed his arms a waiting Hino
she slid between them .holding her tight he wispered " if only time stood still for just this moment"
Hino smiled and leaned in to kiss Tsukimori.
there taoungs twirled, dancing with every move that was made another follow.
it grew heavy . gasping for air between each kiss
Lost in there passion Tsukimori pulled her closer and placed his hand on her waste .
the kiss suddenly stopped
" Len i am sorry " she said embarrassed by her actions
he smiled softly " its okay, why don't we save this for another time"
Tsukimori kissed her hand and placed it over his heart
the two drifted to sleep.
( please be patient the story gets better i just wrote the first part when i was half a sleep )
i am switching computers and uploading this one before its finished
The next morning
Hino awoke to Tsukimori stroking her hair
"Hino we are using my villa as a training camp .Would you honor me by staying in my room, i don't want anyone to get any ideas"
she nodded not knowing what he had ment by it
as it grew time to leave Tsukimori and Hino headed to the school
" Hello " she shouted happy to see her friends
Tsukimori began to speak " If you don't mind i would like to take Hino in a sepret car
" why?" Hino asked
"I have my reasons " he replied in a cold and unfavorable tone
" would you really want to take a bus?" Tsukimori asked now growing impatiant
" well, i would like to spend time with everyone " she replied softly not wanting to make him mad
" If you must, then i will attend as well" Tsukimori said smugly
Hino happily entered
"Good morning Hino -chan" Kazuki exclaimed as he filled with joy
with out thinking she sat down
Tsukimori felt annoyed at her actions as he walked by them he grinted his teeth
finally he reached the back of the bus and began to stair a them
" She is so happy around him. do i not exsist to her anymore" thoughts ran wild as jealousy grew
"Hino -chan " Kazuki could not help but smile
" how have you been ?" Kazuki went on to joke around
the ride was long and Hino grew tired
she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep .
The bus hit a bump and Hino's head fell to Kazukis sholder
His heart raced " I have never been this close to Hino before"
Kazuki cracked a smile
Tsukimori's eyes widened as he noticed Hino laying on Kazuki
"She is careless " he thought to himself
Finally the ride ended
"Hino chan wake up. " Kazuki said in a sad tone, upset that this had to end
"Sorry " Hino exclaimed as she waved her hands signaling her embarrassment
just then Tsukimori walked by and staired at her coldly
"what is wrong with him? why is he acting that way?" her mind filled with questions as she followed behind him
Tsukimori grabbed his bags and went to his room . not caring to see Hinos face for the moment
While unloading her bags Hino dropped one
Yunoki ran from behind her " how careless Kohako" he said while grabbing the fallen bag
"May i help you?"
"thank you " Hino replied "why is he being so nice?"
on the ride over Yunoki had noticed the tension between Tsukimori and Hino and thought he might have a little fun with them
" where are you sleeping Kohako?" he asked curiously to confirm his assumptions were correct
" in this room " she murmured awkwardly
Yunoki opened the door to see Tsukimori's bags neatly placed in the corner
" I will leave now" while he placed the bag down
Yunoki walked out and shut the door
(the shower ran in the back ground)
"Len" Hino called out , happy that she could spend time with him
Tsukimori walked out of the bath room a towel wrapped around his waist and another on around his neck to dry his hair
" what do you want ?" his tone was filled with anger
she put her head down and spoke " I wanted to see the sights with you"
"Why dont you go spend time with Kazuki , I've grown tired of you "
astonished by the way he acted she quickly replied " what is wrong with you?"
"Hino you have to understand the way i feel about you with other guys I see the way Kazuki looks at you"
Tsukimori sat on the bed and placed his head down
Hino smiled softly " is that all you were worried about?"
" is there a reason i should not be?" Tsukimori asked in his frustration
" what can i do to ease his mind?"
Hino walked over and stood infront of him . she pressed her lips to his
Tsukimori wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her back . the two fell back on the bed
the kiss broke " there is nothing going on between him and i " she said as Tsukimori leaned them both back up
" it's not you i dont trust its them"
she smiled and kissed his cheek . "Hino get dressed for dinner " Tsukimori walked back into the bath room and shut the door
after getting prepaired they walked down stairs
" hello everyone " hino called
Tsukimori bowed his head and said " welcome to my home"
still annoyed at everyones presence
he reached over and pulled Hino's chair out " please sit " she sat down and Tsukimori placed himself in the chair next to her
Yunoki started to talk knowing perfectly well what he was about to do.
" what is going on between you and Kazuki ?" he asked suddenly
Kazuki and Hino blushed
Tsukimori's face filled with anger
"Nothing " Hino quickly answered . Kazuki then followed
"Me and Hino-chan " he paused and his face grew sad " we're just friends
Tsukimori got up " I will excuse my self now" then he walked up stairs
"Len" Hino called in her head . she sat there and finished eating to give Len some time to cool down
Tsukimori thought as he walked in his room
" I can't let this keep happening . Tonight will be the night " he quietly murmured to himself
after eating Hino walked up stairs to the room
her eyes lit up .The bed was covered with rose petals and lit with candles . " its beautiful " then she closed the door
A breeze from the open window blew her hair back
Tsukimori stood awaiting Hino on the balcony
his head turned as she approached him ( ave maria played in the background )
" may i have this dance" he asked as he held his hand out to hers
Tsukimori bowed and kissed her hand
the two danced slowly . round they spun as he moved her inside
the song ended
Pushed by the words at the table Tsukimori looked at Hino " i can't help but want her only to myself" lost in his thoughts he leaned his head and kissed Hino
Tsukimori pushed her on the bed and proceeded to climb on top
Hino began to speak but was interrupted by Tsukimori's mouth resting on hers
she kissed back and it grew heavy
Tsukimori slid his lips to her neck and slowly placed his hands to her waste
Hino grew nervous but she could not help but want him back
she placed her hands in his hair . pressing them softly through her fingers
" I don't know if i am ready for this " she began to go on but Tsukimori had ignored her words . only interested in making sure that she was his alone
the two exchanged what was only meant for love
THE NEXT MORNING
Tsukimori awoke , his hand searching for Hino's
she was gone " where could she be? "
he thought to himself " does she figure me to be a monster now?" the questions went on
finally he went to look for her but she was no wear to be found .
His efforts wasted and frustrated he walked into the kitchen
" Good morning " Yunoki called.
Tsukimori completely ignored him and got straight to the point
" have you seen Hino at all ?" he asked hoping that she was close by
" yes she went out with Kazuki shopping " Yunoki chuckled ,knowing that this would infuriate him
Tsukimori walked away in anger
HINO OUT WITH KAZUKI
"Hino-chan lets go over there " kazuki called as he grabbed her hand and ran
there stood a huge shop filled with tons of instruments . The two entered
Kazuki's eyes lit up at the sight of the trumpets . He picked one up and began to play it
Hino's eye was caught by the violins she smiled as she walked over to them
Hino looked down to see a gold colored violin placed in a case " Tsukimori " she said under her breath
" its just like the one he plays , he's always doing so much for me" Hino sighed
" Hino-chan whats wrong ?" Kazuki said as he popped up behind her
she jumped from shock
" Do you mind if we stop some place before we go back ?" she said as a puzzled look crossed her face
" of course " Kazuki exclaimed , happy to get to spend more time with her
They exited the shop and Hino ran across the street " lets go in here " she called out
Kazuki ran fast behind her.
Hino looked around and noticed a picture frame . It was silver with music notes , in the center of it said the words " forever together"
"this is perfect" she shouted wth joy
Kazuki stared filled with curiosity " hey Hino-chan
who is it for ?" he finally asked as a blank expression crossed his face
she put her head down and blushed " its for Tsukimori, he always does so much for me i wanted to repay him"
Kazuki's face grew with sadness
they exited and headed to the house
on the walk back Kazuki did not smiled or talk
"Kazuki whats wrong?" Hino asked upset about seeing her friend so sad
he built up his courage finally in one burst he shouted " I like you "
her eyes lit up suddenly Kazuki grabbed her and pressed his lips to hers
a tear fell down her cheek " Len "she thought as she pushed Kazuki back
her foot stepped on a rock and fell "oww" she screamed at the top of her lungs
Kazuki ran rapidly over to her . Swiftly he picked her up and carried her towards the house
mean while back at the villa
Tsukimori had gone outside to practice his violin. Suddenly there was a scream " help!" he heard Kazuki scream
He dropped his violin and ran to the front of the house . His eyes lit with anger at the sight of Hino n Kazuki's arms
"Get your hands off of her " Tsukimori yelled as he ripped Hino out of his arms
" what dd you do to her ?"
Kazuki replied in a sad tone " she fell"
he gave a smug look and carried Hino inside
finally they reached the room " what happened ?" he said demanding the truth from her
she put her head down "Kazuki tried to kiss me"
furiously he ran down stairs straight for Kazuki
smack
Tsukmoris fist flew a crossed his face
quckly everyone jumped up and grabbed Tsukimori
Yunoki smiled " why did you hit him ?" he ask in a charming tone as always
kazuki put his head down " i deserve it for what did" he was ashamed of the way he had acted
Tsukimori began to shout once more " keep your filthy hands away from her!"
everyone let go and he stormed away to check on Hino once more
"Hino" he called as he entered the room looking down at her pain his eyes felt heavy with sadness
softly he placed an icepack on to her leg
" Thank you " she said as he pain subsided
" you really should not be so careless of the company you keep"
he said feeling frustrated by the events from this week. " i guess i will have to do this much sooner then i was planning" he thought to himself
"Hino will you be alright for a moment?"
she nodded and Tsukimori walked away
he went down stairs into the study and reached in his desk there sat a small box and in it there was a gold ring with two hearts intertwined . Tsukimori put it in his pocket
at the same time
Kazuki sat int he kitchen with a long face " whats wrong " Yunoki asked with a comferting tone . " i was just wondering if Hino-chan was doing better , i want to check on her but Tsukimori is with her now."
Yunoki gave a crooked smile " he is gone for the moment " Kazuki filled with joy and darted for her room upstairs
knock knock
Kazuki heard a small voice call " come in" he walked in and closed the door behind himself " Hino-chan is it any better?" he asked with a worried expression
" Its feeling alot better " she replied as she went to stand . Kazuki moved out of her way and stood infront of the bed . Hino began to walk to the door and then turned to walk back to the bed . She took a step and began to stumble quickly Kazuki grabbed her and pulled her forward
Hino fell landing on top of him, there lips touched .
Suddenly Tsukimori opened the door "HINO!" he shouted filled with anger and hurt , before she could reply back he had slammed the door and stormed off
Kazuki saw the hurt in her eyes " Hino-chan i am sorry " but she did no reply
" what am i going to do ?" she thought to herself but no answer had came to mind
despite his feelings for her he reached out his hand " come on Hino-chan lets go find him"
Kazuki and Hino searched all over the villa and in the gardens .
" were not going to find him " Hino sighed with disappointment
she tilted her head to look at kazuki and instead she saw a small path
" Lets look down here " kazuki smiled softly trying to ease Hino's feelings
they walked down the path and saw a small beach .
Hino filled with excitement "its him" she called to Kazuki
he put his head down " even if i have to let these feelings go i just want Hino - chan happy" he thought as he balled his fist " Hino ill leave you to see him . I will see you back at the house" a small tear fell down his cheek
Kazuki turned and began to walk away
Hino grabbed his hand as he walked away "Thank you " she smiled and leaned in to kiss his cheek
then Kazuki left out into the darkness
Hino walked slowly and appeared behind Tsukimori as she looked down her eyes set sight on a small gold ring Tsukimori was flipping through his fingers
" Is that what you went to go get?"
Tsukimori got startled and stood up " what does it matter anymore , I can't bare anymore of this Hino, I wanted to ask you- " he cut his sentence off and bowed his head . The image of Hino and Kazuki played in his head . Tsukimori turn and shot the ring into the sea
before he could blink Hino ran after it . " what are you doing Hino don't!" Tsukimori shouted but it was to late she was already emerged in the waves.
she swam as fast as she could finally her hand grasped it. The current swept under Hinos feet and pulled her under .
" Hino where are you ? Hino please " Tsukimori ran in after her but he she was no where to be seen . A small glimpse of red caught his eye , He grabbed her and fought to bring her to shore
