Hey all! This is my first ever fan-fic! I am so excited! But, at the same time, I am nervous! Anyway, please rate and review! Thanks!
I do NOT own La Corda Doro in anyway!
It was a normal day at Seiso Academy. Birds chirped, cats meowed, girls squealed whenever they talked about Yunoki Azuma and all that stuff that was normal in Seiso. Hino Kahoko and her friends Mio and Nao were just on their way to the cafeteria for lunch.
"Kaho-chan!" said a voice. It sounded like Hihara-senpai.
"Hello, Hihara-senpai! What is it?" asked Kahoko.
"Ne...My mum made some takoyaki today and I was wondering if you'd like some!" said Hihara excitedly.
"Ahhh! I love takoyaki!" said Kahoko happily.
"T-Then you can have these!" said Hihara, giving a box to Kahoko.
"Arigatou gozaimasu, Hihara-senpai!" said Kahoko, smiling at him.
"Y-Your welcome, Kaho-chan!" said Hihara, who was happy that he had made his crush smile.
"Hey! Hihara! How long are you going to talk with your girlfriend! We're starving you know!" said one of Hihara's friends.
At the sound of the word 'girlfriend' Kahoko blushed a bit, but, Hihara went tomato red.
"H-Hey, Zaki! S-She isn't my g-girlfriend!" stuttered Hihara nervously.
"Well…whatever you say Hihara. Now, come on or we're going to eat without you!" said Zaki.
"I'll join you in a minute!" said Hihara.
"Gomen, Kaho-chan! My friends can be a bit stupid sometimes." said Hihara.
"I-It's alright, senpai!" said Kahoko.
"B-Bye then, Kaho-chan!" said Hihara and he ran off to join his friends.
"Ehh…Kaho-chan is so lucky! So many boys love her!' said Mio dreamily.
"H-Huh? W- What are you-" began Kahoko.
"Mmm..yes! So many handsome boys! Tsuchira-kun from the soccer club, Yunoki-sama from the music department, Hihara-senpai and of course Tsukimori-kun too!" added Nao.
At the sound of the last name that Nao mentioned, Kaho went a bit redder. This did not go unnoticed by Mio and Nao.
"Kaho! You're blushing!" said Nao with a grin. Mio giggled.
"N-No I'm not!" said Kaho.
Kaho decided that it was time to throw caution into the winds. Looking around for a change of subject, she quickly pointed to a lunch table.
"There! Let's go and sit there! Wow! I'm so hungry! I wonder what I can eat today? Oh, look! There's a special desset today! Come on, lets go! I don't want to miss it!" said Kaho quickly.
She hoped that the special dessert would put an end to the conversation about 'boys.'
"Kaho, do you think we don't know what you're trying to do?" asked Nao, who was still grinning.
"Umm….chit chat, chit chat! Times going by! F-Five minutes are almost over! Let's hurry and eat! Right, Mio? Nao?" said Kaho nervously.
Mio and Nao glanced at each other and smiled mischievously.
The three girls went to the food stalls and got their desired food and settled at the table that Kaho had pointed at earlier.
Mio and Nao eat very fast as they still wanted to continue the topic of all the concours boys.
Once they had eaten their fill, Mio started the topic again.
"So, Kaho-chan, how's the 'violin romance' going?" asked Mio.
"N-Nani?" said a surprised Kaho. She had thought that lunch would drive that topic out of her friends' minds completely.
"Violin romance? Now, this I have to hear!" said a voice. It was Amou-san.
Kaho gulped.
"Mind if I join, you, girls?" asked Amou-san.
"Not at all!" said Nao.
"Goody!" said Amou-san. "Now, did I just hear something about the famed, 'Violin Romance'?
"Yes! Yes! We were just wondering why Kaho-chan blushed when we mentioned Tsukimori-kun!" said Mio.
Amou gasped.
"Why, that is such juicy information! I can't believe I forgot to bring my pen and paper!" said Amou.
"B-but-" began Kaho, but, once again, she was interrupted.
"Oh come on, Kaho-chan! I know you like him! Now, just face the truth and let the violin romance unfold!" said Mio with sparkly eyes.
Kaho sweat dropped.
"I have evidence, you know." said Amou.
"Evidence? Evidence of what?" asked Kaho who was so nervous now, that she was literally shaking with nerves. She wanted to get out of here but she didn't know how.
"Evidence of your...close friendship with Tsukimori-kun. Now, Hino-san, there was a rumor that during Hamai Misa's concert, you were the only one personally invited by Tsukimori-kun!" said Amou with a devilish smirk.
Kaho gulped. "How did she know that?" thought Kaho.
Mio and Nao gasped.
"Kaho! You never told us that!" said Nao shocked.
"I-I'm sure I wasn't the only one Tsukimori-kun invited. R-Right?" said Kaho who's brain was desperately looking for a way out.
Suddenly, a first year girl gave out a hair raising squeal which caused everyone in the vicinity to look at her.
"Look…its Yunoki-sama!" said the girl who was positively shaking in excitement.
Immediately, all the girls, music department and general department were screaming and pushing others out of the way to get close to Yunoki.
Kaho suddenly got an idea.
She picked up her violin and her other things.
"Well! I'd better be going! There's a half hour left and I want to practice on my violin a bit, so, see you!" she said hurriedly sped off in the direction of the practice rooms.
"Hey! Hino-san! I haven't finished asking you my questions yet!" shouted Amou.
But Kaho just ignored her and ran as fast as her legs would take her. For once, she was glad that Yunoki-senpai and silently thanked him for helping her escape from Amou-san. Then, her head went back to the previous topic.
"What does she [Amou] mean, that I like Tsukimori-kun? Ok, so, I was the only one he invited himself…so what? We're friends…just friends…" thought Kaho.
There was an almighty 'crash' sound as Kaho bumped into someone.
"Please watch where you are going, Hino-san." said a cold voice.
Kaho looked up and she saw herself face to face with the person she had been thinking of…Tsukimori-kun.
"G-Gomenasai, Tsukimori-kun." said an embarrassed Kahoko.
He sighed.
"It's alright. Just be more careful next time. You might injure your hands again." He said in the same cold voice.
"Ah…yes…I will. Once again, I'm sorry I bumped into you, Tsukimori-kun." said Kaho, who was now very red in embarrassment.
As she walked away from him, Tsukimori ran his hand through his hair.
"How I wish, sometimes, that I could be kinder to her, nicer to her, tell her that I lo-"
He didn't finish his sentence. He had caught himself off-guard. He had almost told himself the truth that he loved…Kahoko.
"Next time, maybe if there's a next time, I'll try and be kinder to her." he thought.
Yeah...right. He was Tsukimori Len. The ice cube. The person who talked to nobody.
But, as he had said before, he would try. For Kaho...errr...Hino was no ordianary girl. She was the one who had changed him. She had helped him enjoy music. Understand what it really was. Eversince the day when he had accidentaly fallen asleep on her shoulder, he had somehow been attracted to her.
Little did Len know, that the 'next time' was closer than he thought it was.
