a/n: Hi there! This is my other fic for La Corda. This idea comes out from nowhere and this is my other imagination. In this story, Kahoko was a close friend with Hamai Misa and Kahoko often come to Tsukimori residence. I also put another pairing. I didn't own La Corda or its character. And sorry for my grammatical errors.
Tsukimori Len, an ice prince from Music Department at Seisou Gakuen who never care about anything else but violin can't understand something inside him that he never knew and felt before. Something that he didn't know exists inside him until he met her. She is the one and only girl who obtain his attention and she is the one who changed him. She is the one who slowly melted the ice inside him, but still he only showed the other side of him to her, not anyone else.
He always remembers anything that finally changed him. Her smile, her voice, her personality, and the way she looked at him with those eyes and her music. Because of her, he can enjoy the music. Even, he still remembers the first time when he met her and when she said she want to hear his music during the second selection. And when he played for the dolphin and…
'Stop it Len! Quit thinking of her!' the violin prodigy said mentally to himself.
Truth to be told. Since he goes home today, he couldn't stop himself for thinking of the certain someone. Since he saw the only girl who can enter his mind was talking and walking with his rival, the green haired pianist. And she looked happy. When she says something, sometime he is blushing and she is chuckling. Our prodigy began to thinking the possibility of their togetherness but until now, he couldn't find the answer and turn from the answer to the girl. Because of that, he can't practice properly.
'What is it getting into me? I can't even practice! Dear god, what happened to me?' for the several times that day, he made a mistake here and there. So not Tsukimori like.
Suddenly, someone knocks the door. "Len, could we talk for a moment?"
"Yes mother. Please come in."
Hamai Misa entered the room and gave Len a ticket.
"What is it?"
"The ticket for you. I'm taking a part at the grand opening of this amusement park next week. You could bring Kahoko-chan with you." Hamai Misa said.
"Thank you. But why Hino?" Len asked.
"There's a fireworks after I played and I'm sure she would like it." She said and went out, but before she close the door, she said "And your father want to talk to you. He is in the living room." With that, the door was closed. Sighing, he puts the violin to its case carefully.
"Father, do you want to talk with me?"
"Yes, please sit down."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Len, are you the one who play the violin?"
"Yes, and I know it sounds horrible."
"And why is that? Do you have something that bothering your mind?"
Len can't say anything. He doesn't know whether to tell his father or not. Without them knowing, someone was listening to their conversation, and the person is no other than Hamai Misa.
She knew what inside her son's mind. Something that can enter Len's brain beside music and the thing is the girl named Hino Kahoko. Hamai Misa knows Kahoko was the one who change Len and she's glad about that. And she knows because of it, Len will fall in love with Kahoko sooner or later. She also knew Len wouldn't recognize it. If he would, because he is a complete ice block then probably he'll deny it. So, she decided to take a part of Len's love life. Even, she already has a plan.
First, she must become a close friend with Kahoko, and she'll invite her to Tsukimori residence as often as possible. This is success already.
Second, she will ask Len to bring Kahoko to every concert where she takes a part. Until now, she is success to make them go four times, and with next week, it's become five.
The more time they spend together, the sooner they'll end up together. But, Len is too dense if it comes to his feelings and he is stubborn. The same goes to Kahoko, but she is not stubborn. Sighing, she decide to come in and help Len to realize his feeling toward Kahoko tonight, or the day before the concert, if her plan works, Len and Kahoko will become a couple next Saturday.
She enters the room. "What are the two of you talking about?" she said and put her tea on the table and sits down.
"Something that bothering Len's mind."
"I think you should say it 'someone' not something."
Len was confused. How could his mother know about 'someone' thing? Seeing her son's reaction, she smile and says "You know Len, if you're really love her, you should tell her before she's taken by someone else."
"Who do you mean by 'her' mother?" Len asked.
"Kahoko-chan. Who else?" Hamai Misa said and sipped her tea.
Len was speechless. Kahoko? Why Kahoko? OK, Kahoko is the only girl who inside Len's mind all day but, does it mean he love her? Now Len is confused about his own feeling.
"Kahoko? You mean Hino Kahoko? The red haired girl who often come here to join you in your tea time, Misa?" Len's father asked.
Hamai Misa nodded and sipped her tea.
"Hmm... I think she is a lovely girl and a funny one."
"Yes. She is friendly and nice to talking with, that's why I like her, and she is a close friend of mine even if she is younger than me."
They are talking about Kahoko, but Len didn't join his parents because he is too shock that his parents talking about a girl in front of him. Finally, he recovers from his shock.
'I think I know where this conversation is going.' Len said mentally.
----Meanwhile at Hino residence---
"aachoo.." Hino Kahoko sneezing so suddenly.
"Are you alright Kaho?" her mom asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Then, why are you sneezing so suddenly?"
"Maybe someone talking about you Kaho." Her sister said.
"I don't know sis."
"By the way, I heard you are often come to Hamai Misa's house. Is that right?" her sister asked.
"What? Who is that telling you?" Kahoko asked. She is confused.
"Just answer me! Yes or no?"
"Hamai Misa the famous pianist? Her son is one of your friends, isn't he?" her mother asked.
Kahoko nodded and put the dishes to the sink and sit down again.
"I heard her son's name is Tsukimori Len." Her sister said and her voice is louder when she says Len's name. Then she looked at Kahoko. 'She is blushing when she hear his name? Hmm... Interesting.' Her sister said mentally and has a grin on her face. Her mother notices this too. Then she whispering something to Kimiko's(a/n: Kaho's sister name. I don't know the real name.) ears.
"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Kahoko asked. She is curious.
"Well, we only discussing about you." Kimiko said. Kahoko only raise one of her eyebrow, and give what-do-you-mean look.
"We are curious why you blushing when your sister says 'Tsukimori Len'. Say Kaho, do you like him?" her mother said.
"Of course I like him. He is my friend."
"Not in that way you moron. But like him more than a friend." Kimiko said.
"Hey! I'm not a moron you know!" protest Kahoko. After awhile, she is aware of what her sister talking. She is blushing and her face is almost as red as her hair.
"Mom, maybe we can take it as a yes." Kimiko said to her mother.
"W-what ?! Mother, why are you asking that question? And why are saying that, sis?"
"You don't like him?" her mother asked, but it's more like a statement than a question.
"O-Of course not." Kahoko said still blushing.
"Mom, we're wrong. She is not like him." Kimiko said.
Hearing this, Kahoko nodded her had not only once. She is not stopping nodding until Kimiko says "But she is in love with him." Kahoko's jaw dropped.
"Oh." Her mother said in the flat tone. "Kaho, bring here someday OK. I want see the man who steal my daughter heart with my own eyes."
Kahoko stand up and go to her room. Her face is redder than before. Maybe same as her hair. After Kimiko was sure Kahoko out of earshot. She is laughing like a maniac.
"D-Did you see that? H-her expression is very funny and her face is like a lobster." She said between her laugh.
"Are you sure she'll be fine?" her mother asked. Hearing this Kimiko stop laughing.
"Don't worry mom. I'm sure she'll fine even, Misa-san her self sure about that. If not, she wouldn't ask us to mention Tsukimori in front of Kaho's face."
"I hope."
"Don't worry, if we not do this, Kahoko wouldn't realize her feeling. She is too dense to notice it and it can take a long time for her to get a boyfriend."
"But you're still enjoying doing it, aren't you?"
Kimiko only give a grin. She knows that her mother is afraid about Kahoko's love life.
---back to Tsukimori residence---
At Tsukimori residence, the parents are still talking about Hino Kahoko.
Finally they're stop and one of them says "Len, I'm sure Hino-san will…" Len's father stop mid sentence because his son is not with them.
"Where is he?" he asked to his wife.
"Maybe he is going to his bedroom." Hamai Misa answered and drinks her tea. With that she goes out from the room to have another tea.
