Chapter 1- He realizes. She realizes.
It has been three months after the concours. The sun has risen. Its hundred hues glowed indescribably. Cloud formations around it are like skills of thousand masters expressed in one piece of art. Silhouettes cut before it with exactness and painted with amber against the sun.
"Very soothing", kaho uttered while watching the sky on her way to school. She has her violin on her right hand and her bag on the other shoulder.
She looked at her wrist watch…
"Gahhhh!!! 15 minutes!!!!! I better hurry or else I will be late again!!!" The scarlet-haired girl prompted a run on the sidewalks.
After 5 minutes…
"Wheew! That was close," she said while panting.
"Ohayo Kaho-chan!", someone said.
Kahoko turned her back to see who it maybe. Then she saw the green-haired trumpeter and the other 5 participants in the concours.
"Ohayo Hihara-sempai!" she gaily replied. "…And Fuyuumi-chan, Tsuchiura-kun, Shimizu, Yunoki-sempai, Tsukimori-kun,,, Ohayo!"
"Why are all assembled here?" Kaho inquired.
"Ahh. We just met at the front gate." Tsuchiura said
"Why are you catching your breath Kaho-chan? Do you have asthma or something?" Yunoki worriedly asked.
"Uhh. No. It's not like that. I just dashed on my way here. I thought I'm gonna be late again."-kaho
"We should get going. Classes will start soon." Len said coldly as he leaves ahead.
Kaho: "Tsukimori-kun is right! See you later guys!"
"See ya!" the remaining 5 said in chorus.
Kaho walked briskly towards the gen-ed building.
LUNCHTIME…
Kaho proceeded at the rooftop with her violin. Even after the concours she has still been zealously in love with the enchanting music of the violin so during lunch breaks she would always go to the rooftop and practice quite a few pieces.
She took out her violin, positioned it under her chin, held the bow and gradually closed her eyes. The hazel-eyed girl started playing. Obscure yet strong feelings flew out with every note. Very alluring… Yes, she commits several flaws, her elbow may not be in angle, she might have wrong posture but still her melody sounds perfect. It's her passion and her fondness that sheds over the imperfections.
ON THE OTHER SIDE…
Tsuchiura was on his way to the rooftop to get some fresh air and to unwind himself from their toilsome soccer practice. He then heard something… a sound of a violin.
"hino?" he thought.
The sound alleviates all his stress. "Wow," that was all he has managed to say.
MEANWHILE…
KAHO'S POV:
"Ave Maria? Why am I playing this piece again? Why do I feel odd? It's very calming. Ave Maria is special."
(When she reached the last measure…)
"…Very special". Then out of nowhere, an image of tsukimori len appeared in her visions.
END OF POV.
She opened her eyes.
"Gracious! Why am I thinking of these stuffs?! Am I falling for Tsukimori Len?!" she burst out loudly.
Unknown to her, the emerald-haired pianist was already behind the door. Tsuchiura heard everything. He smirked and thought of something…
FLASHBACK…
Saturday. Three weeks after the concours. At the Hikari Café.
"Tsuchiura-kun why did you invite me for lunch?" the puzzled kahoko asked.
"There is something important I need to tell you." Tsuchiura replied.
"I don't know how you will react but whatever happens I hope we can still be friends." He added.
Kaho: "What is it?"
Tsuchiura: " Hino… I…I like you…"
Kaho blushed as red as her scarlet hair.
Kaho: "But I see you as my brother, Tsuchiura-kun… I'm sorry."
Tsuchuira:"As I expected. Hino, it's ok. You need not to be sorry. So can we still be friends? Can you still consider me as your brother?"
Kaho:"Of course Tsuchiura-kun!"
END OF FLASHBACK…
"Haha. I think I should do the work of a brother…don't worry Hino. I'll help you"
AFTER CLASSES…
Tsuchiura ate up his entire ego for her (false?) "sister" kahoko. He secretly followed Tsukimori. Len entered one of the practice rooms. Tsuchiura tip-toed towards the room and leaned his right ear at the door.
Len got his violin out of the case and played Ave Maria. It was perfect. He got every note right. But it seems to be different from the way he played the violin before. His music now has feelings. Feelings even he cannot decipher.
LEN'S POV:
Kahoko's smile. Her lips. Her auburn eyes. Her dainty face… It kept flashing on Len's mind.
"She changed my music. She changed me…"
END OF POV.
Len sighed. "Why am I thinking of these stuffs?! Am I falling for Hino Kahoko?!,"he stated loudly.
TSUCHIURA'S POV:
"Got ya Ice Prince!"
"Do they even know that they're saying the same thing? Haha."
"Ok. I think I need help from the others to set up plans for these two."
END OF POV.
