Chapter 1:- The one who speaks in Song

-The sound of a little boy breathing heavily could be heard as he was running up the stairs to a familiar school up above the large number of stairs. Once the boy had reached up to the top of the stairs, he put his hands on his knees as he was trying to catch his breath, the child would then look up ahead to see the sakura blossoms falling down from the trees as his eyes widened at the sight of a girl with long gray hair and a small bun on the side of her hair-

"Ne...-Nee-san!" -The young boy shouted out to the girl as she turned to look at him from speaking to her friends. The child would then walk up to the girl as he gave her a bouquet of Lilies. The girl gladly accepted the Lilies as she would then tear up and smile at the boy as she patted the child's head-

"Thank you so much.." -The sentence and the scene would then fade away as the sight of the persona opening his eyes could be seen as he was standing in front of a small stall and was looking at a green pendant-

Boy: Why did I remember that memory now..? -He spoke to himself softly as he would put one hand on his forehead-

Lady: -She stall owner got up from her seat as she looked over to the boy as she began to worry for him- Ah, are you al-all right? Do you need some water?

Boy: N-No... I'm fine..

-As Watanabe You was walking down the street market in Uchiura, she came across a short young boy with beautiful silver hair and bright emerald eyes as the young man was looking at the jewellery that was on display on one of the stalls. You's eyes widened once she came to realise who the young boy was.-

You: Wait...Aren't you.. -She said as she pointed. The boy would then turn his attention to You-

Boy: Huh? Do I know you?

You: Iz-Izanagi Hotaru..!

Hotaru:..Huh?

You: Y-You're the one and only legendary Izanagi Hotaru! -She excitedly walked up to the boy as she held both of his hands and stared into his eyes as her eyes sparkled in excitement-

Lady: Y-You-chan, you know this boy?

You: Not personally but he's a professional card player!

Lady: Card player?

You: He's a competitive card game player and he's well known for being calm and decisive in his matches! Hnngg! It's so nice to personally meet you!

Lady: I-I see..

Hotaru: I-I'm sorry but would you please let go of my hands? -He said to You as he was feeling uncomfortable of the situation he was in as everyone around the street was staring at the two-

You: Hmm? A-Ahh! I-I'm sorry! I'm so so sorry! -She panicked as she let go of his hands and apologised as she blushed madly from being embarrassed and for embarrassing Hotaru in public- A-Allow me to introduce myself! I'm Watanabe You! It's nice to meet you! -She said as she smiled to the young boy sweetly as she saluted to him-

Hotaru: Right..I see. I'm...Well you already know who I am anyway.

You: Hehe~ But what brings you all the way out here to Uchiura? Don't you live in Tokyo?

Hotaru: -He sweated a little as he nervously crossed his arms and looked away and spoke softly- I..Got lost..

You: Hmm? What? I didn't hear what you just said. Could you repeat that?

Hotaru: Tsk! -He got irritated as he turned and looked up at You- I got lost!

You: L-Lost..? You got lost?

Hotaru: S-Shut up... I missed my train stop and I ended up here anyway so I thought I'd waste some time here..

You: I see. Were you suppose to meet someone?

Hotaru: Tha-...That's none of your business..

You: Ah, I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to pry too much.

Hotaru: Hmph! Anyway, I'll be heading back to Tokyo now, see ya.

You: Ah ri-right, bye bye. -She waved at him as she watched him walk away and as she watched him, her eyes then widened as she saw Matsuura Kanan, her senior running up to Hotaru as she hugged him- K-Kanan-chan..? "What is she doing? Why is she hugging him like it's so normal? Do they know each other..?" -She thought to herself as she curiously watched the two from a distance and noticed that Kanan was walking together with Hotaru as the two were heading to the station together-

-Moments later, after Kanan had dropped Hotaru off at the station, Kanan would put on her earphones as she began to start running as she started to jog and You followed her, within the passing minutes, Kanan stopped running as she leaned on the side of the road wall that was facing out to the beach, she took out her phone and opened up the bottle she was holding and drank some water, it was then You approached Kanan-

You: Kanan-chan!

Kanan: Hmm? Oh! You-chan, hi~

You: H-Hi. W-Wait! No! I'm not here for that!

Kanan: Eh?

You: What's your relationship with you and Izanagi Hotaru-kun?!

Kanan: -She blushed as her eyes widened and she dropped her bottle onto the ground- M-My relationship with H-Hotaru..?

You: Yeah! I saw you hugging him in public! You hugged a small boy in public!

Kanan: S-Shh! Stop making a scene, You-chan!

You: Buu! -She pouted as she looked at Kanan-

Kanan: Hotaru is a friend of mine.

You: A friend? How did you two meet?

Kanan: I-It's a long story but it's very personal so I can't really talk about it. Hehe, sorry~

You: Jeez, that's not fair..

Kanan: Why? Do you like him?

You: He's a super popular Vanguard player! He's a Clan leader!

Kanan: I know but is that it?

You: There's more than that?

Kanan: Hmm~ Why don't you come with me? We'll head over to Mari's place for a moment.

You: Mari-chan's hotel? Why?

Kanan: Just come~ -She said with a smile on her face as she held You's hand as the two would then head towards the Ohara hotel-

-Once the two had arrived to the hotel, Mari was talking to a familiar girl with red hair at the lobby-

Kanan: Isn't that..?

You: Maki-san!

Mari: Oh?

Maki: Hmm? Ah, You-san, Kanan-san. It's good to see you both. -Said the redhead-

You: What brings you here?

Maki: Ah, I was here to check on someone who was sick here. Doctor's job after all.

Mari: I'm sure Saburo-kun would feel really happy and shiny after hearing what you had accomplished today~

Maki: Maybe? I don't know..

Mari: Hmm? What's wrong?

Maki: Ah, It's nothing. -She said as she had spoken in a depressed tone in her voice-

Mari: I see, but anyway. Kanan, You-chan, why are you two here?

Kanan: Mari, you still have the recording of last year's "Gaia Concert"?

Mari: Yeah, it's still in my room, why?

Kanan: Let's show You-chan the video then.

Mari: Eh? But you said that no one should watch it!

Kanan: I know what I said but she saw me with him today so I can't really make any excuses at this point.

Mari: Right..

Maki: All right you three, I have to go right now, bye~

Mari, Kanan & You: Bye!

-The three would then take the elevator up to Mari's room as Kanan would use the laptop and play an old recorded concert video as You, Mari and Kanan sat on a couch and watched the recording from the Television as the laptop was connected to the large screen-

You: Why are we watching this again?

Mari: So you want to know more about Kanan's little boy, hmm~? -She said with a smug on her face as she looked at You-

You: K-Kanan-chan's "little boy"?!

Kanan: -She blushed with her arms crossed- H-He's not my "little boy", now let's just watch the video.

Mari: Hehe~

-In a large concert hall filled with over hundreds to thousand of people, the sound of a Japanese flute could be heard as the lights were pointing at a young short boy with beautiful silver hair and bright emerald eyes as he was playing the flute. Once he had stopped playing, behind the boy was a large number of people who were playing other traditional Japanese instruments as they were playing the song "主題〜つぐもも〜2". Once the guitarist started to play his guitar, the drummers and violinists would join up together as they played together. Hotaru walked up closer to the audience in front of him as he played the flute with his eyes closed. As the three were watching the recording, Maria and Kanan had smiles on their faces as it felt nostalgic to them but You was astonished at the sight of Izanagi Hotaru playing the flute so smoothly in front of the large crowd with such talent with the flute-

You: That's so cool! I didn't know that he was a musician! He has talent!

Kanan: Ah, it isn't talent, You-chan.

You: Eh? It isn't?

Mari: I'm sure that if he was here right now and if he heard you say that it was talent, he would have snapped and walked right out of the room or either yelled..

You: Eh?! So it isn't talent?

Kanan: It's years of practice. He made it that far because of his friend, I don't know who that friend is but all I know was that he had said that his most trusted friend had helped him ever since he was a child until now.

Mari: Also! There was this one time in an interview that he said that his songs are his emotions!

You: His songs are his emotions? What do you mean?

Kanan: The song we're hearing now is a song about his anger. He writes and plays songs based on his feelings and hearts, he doesn't sing and dance like we do and he doesn't have a band like Soul-2-Cry or the Dark Rose. He likes to play his instruments on his own but without help, it wouldn't be that great with others helping him.

You: I see..

Mari: In the music world, he's not exactly popular like the rest of us but he's on a different level than we are.

You: What do you mean?

Mari: Ours is based on performance, lyrics and synchronisation as a group but Hotaru-chan likes to do his work on his own and he hates people getting in his way of his work.

Kanan: Ah! Here it is! My favourite song!

Mari: Hmm? Ah, this song.. -She sighed as she then laughed-

You: Kanan-chan's favourite song..?

-The song "DRAGON FORCE" came up as the sight of Hotaru holding a violin could be seen as he started to play the theme song of "Fairy Tail" as he was using the violin. From watching, You was fascinated by the sight and Kanan was blushing and her eyes was sparkling in excitement as the two girls focused on the recording while Mari smiled as she looked at the two girls beside her as she smirked-

You: Izanagi Hotaru.. You're so cool!

-In the streets of Akihabara. Hotaru was walking down the streets as he passed by a Cat Cafe, he heard the door opening from the cafe as he saw the sight of a tall young man with dark hair and blue outlines and blue eyes walking out of the cafe, as Hotaru saw the man, the sight of a girl with orange hair walked out with the man could be seen as she held the man's hand and pulled him close to her as she'd press her lips onto the man's cheek-

Rin: Stay safe nya.

Arata: I will. Don't worry about me.

Hotaru: Hmph.. -He scoffed softly as he walked away and ignored the couple- I don't need anyone else, just having her by my side is enough. As long as she's with me... -He said to himself softly-

-The sight of Kotori walking out of the Cat Cafe could be seen as she took out her phone and messaged someone under the name of "Izanagi Hotaru" as she smiled once she sent the message-

Kotori: Hehe~ I wonder what I should cook for dinner for tonight~
