Perfectly in Tune

...XD This isn't actually my first fanfiction ever; I wrote some on my own time and kept rewriting them until I was pretty much satisfied.

And I'm new.

Summary:

Kanda is a violinist; Allen is a pianist. With their own hopes, they enter a top-notch musical academy – Black Order Academy. One of their first assignments is to play as a duet, and that's when everything begins to fall into line. AU Yullen!

Chapter 1

"Practise until you get that rhythm right. Don't worry, you have plenty of time to fix it."

"No, you don't hold your bow like that. You have to correct your position."

"Remember, Yuu, when you grow up, you'll be a great violinist. You show a lot of promise."

Those were some of his family's words from when he was a mere child.

Kanda shifted his gaze to his violin that he had inherited from his father.

Hazy memories of his family drifted slowly through his mind like smoke, unable to be grasped. What had his father looked like again, laughing teasingly when Kanda made a little mistake? What did his mother's hands feel like again, brushing through his dark hair without the usual ivory comb?

He couldn't remember; he'd been separated from them when he was barely 6 or 7.

Scowling at the faint memories that were brought up, he picked up his violin to practise a song that he had written specifically to enter a top-notch music school, the Black Order Academy.

Even though it was just a song for an entry into a school, Kanda had put all of his heart and soul into it.

Nigentou was one of his masterpieces. The song was the second 'illusion' in the set he was making, which he planned to include all 6 'illusions'. That idea was inspired by none other than...

His beloved violin, Mugen.



It was the idea of a genius. Although, this genius was a little off, but not really in a bad way.

The idiot usagi Lavi would probably pale beside his magnificent piece.

'Heh.'

The thought made him smirk. Lavi had been calling him all day to check on what was happening around Kanda's home (obviously not much), and every time Lavi had been blabbing about his own song like it was the best thing in the world.

Some people may have thought otherwise, but according to the Japanese anti-social humbug, Lavi's playing was terrible.

One big reason was that Lavi started writing and playing songs that had to do with hammers. When he was asked why, he claimed that he saw a hammer in one of his dreams and was fascinated by the noise, the intensity, the rhythm, the changing tempo, the dynamics of each thwack, and went on and on and on. Kanda really had no interest in things like hammers or mallets or big booming sounds.

From then on, the usagi had kept a tiny black and white mallet in his house.

Kanda highly doubtedLavi could dream about tempo, dynamics, or even music. Before, maybe, when Lavi played different songs a little more suited to Kanda's tastes, but now, no.

Besides, the baka usagi simply was too annoying.

A sharp movement and Nigentou finally ended with a brilliant flourish.

Kanda carefully inspected his violin for any damages. Finding none, he carefully put it back in the case and clicked it shut.

He felt..giddy, in a sense, after playing Nigentou. It was always so exciting, and his fingers trembled. He let out a deep breath to relax.

And that was it.

The moment when Lavi burst into Kanda's private apartment, grinning like a maniac.

Kanda's door promptly flew off its hinges with alarming speed, crashing into the side wall. It shattered like glass in a very unrealistic way, and the splintered remains flew in slow motion.



"Usagi..." A deadly tone emanated from Kanda who had a rather large-looking splinter stuck in his head.

Lavi took no notice, and he casually swung his arm over his friend's shoulders like nothing had happened at all. "Well, how's your song doing, Yuu?"

Kanda exploded like a bomb.

"You idiot, you just destroyed my freaking door, violated my privacy, called be my first name even though I told you not to, got me an injury right here-" At that, Kanda pointed accusingly to the giant splinter in the middle of his head. "-And you still are asking 'how my song is doing'?"

"Well, I figured that'd be alright..Your guardian Tiedoll's wealthy and all; he could pay for the repairs," Lavi replied breezily, also blatantly ignoring the fuming Kanda.

'Wow, Yuu can talk a lot!' Lavi thought.

"And you expect me to ask him."

"Yeah!"

"No. Freaking. Way." Kanda yanked the wooden splinter out, wincing as a tiny fountain of blood came spurting out of the wound.

"Why not?" Lavi asked.

"You know why, you baka usagi," the moody Japanese teen growled back.

"You're so mean, Yuu-chan," cried the other.

"Che."

Lavi grinned cheekily again. "Well, Yuu, today are the..the..the..entrance exam things!"

"I knew that."

"Just reminding you in case you forgot!"

"I'd never forget, baka, do you know how long I practised Nigentou?"

"Oh, so Nigentou is the name of your piece!"

Kanda didn't reply as he was cleaning up the spot on his head where the splinter had pierced.



"My awe-inspiring piece is Ozduchi Kozduchi!"

"What sort of weird name is that? 'Big hammer, little hammer'?"

"You're just jealous, Yuu-chan!"

"Baka usagi, that is one of the most ridiculous names I have ever seen."

Lavi smiled. "All the better to suit a piece on a cello."

"That doesn't make any sense."

"It doesn't to me either!"

Kanda 'hmph'ed and pointed to the gaping hole where the flimsy door once stood. "Out."

The red-haired teen rose his voice in protest, but the long-haired one gave him a firm kick in the butt and sent him flying out of his apartment.

Lavi unceremoniously landed in the middle of the hallway. "Ow, ow, ow!" An irritable neighbour stuck their head out and shushed him with a glare.

The usagi whimpered childishly and crawled back to his own apartment to practise his piece to get into Black Order Academy.
