Chapter 1- Take Care of your Fingers

Len Tsukimori…his life has always been dull, all he ever cared for was himself and his precious playing, but ever since that concour and the encounter of other new people, especially of her, he saw more of the cold dull life he was living in…

The handsome blue-haired violinist just finished playing his violin and he was ready to return home, he went out of the music room he was in, then he passed a slightly opened music room, he didn't mean to eavesdrop but he heard the voice of his favorite scarlet-haired violinist. She was talking to her friends, Mio and Nao.

"Kaho-chan, did he really!?!" squealed Mio.

"Y-yes," said Kahoko.

Len tried to listen harder, "What are they talking about?" he wondered, he couldn't help himself even though he knew he wasn't suppose to eavesdrop.

"Y-yes, Tsuchiura-kun confessed to me…" stammered Kahoko, obviously embarrassed.

Len was taken by surprised, he walked away, not wanting to hear more of the conversation, he knew it, one day, if he doesn't make a move, someone would. And here it was, and worst, it was the arrogant pianist which was going to take her. He continued walking on the way home, from time to time always thinking of the scarlet-haired female. And all of rotten luck, he crossed-path with that arrogant pianist.

"Hey," greeted Ryoutaro.

Len just nodded his head slightly as an acknowledgement, then he passed him, but then Ryoutaro said, "You'll be losing her soon, she's better off with me."

Len stopped walking, how did he know that he liked her? "It doesn't matter," said Len coldly.

"Suit yourself," then Ryoutaro walked away.

"Hm, better off with him," murmured Len as he started walking, then he reached his house and entered, his parents were at a concert and they may return later, then he sat at the sofa, putting his things down gently, he noticed his cd collections, some were missing, it was because they were with her…

He let his fingers run through his hair and sighed, "When would she return them?" he wondered, suddenly the doorbell rang, he jumped from his seat. He peeked out the window and was shocked to see her, 'speak of the devil and the devil shall appear' was the phrase that first entered his mind, he quickly went outside. "What business do you have here?" he said coldly, he couldn't help it.

"Oh, Tsukimori-kun, I just wanted to return these cd's I borrowed from you, and I was wondering if I could borrow some more…" she said, a bit embarrassed.

He sighed and opened the gate, "Sure," he said.

Kahoko smiled, "Thank you,"

Inside, Len served his guest with a slice of cake and a cup of tea. Kahoko ran through Len's other stack of collections, he watched her in fascination as she did so. Soon, she finished selecting the cd's she was going to borrow and turned around, "I'll borrow these," she told him.

"Sure, here," he said, handing her the slice of cake.

"Oh, thank you, I hope I wasn't bothering you or anything," she said, eyeing his violin case which was on the floor.

"No, I was just thinking of some things when you suddenly came," he said.

"Ah, I see…" said Kahoko, forking down a small piece of the slice.

They both soon sat in silence, then Len broke it, blurting out the first thing that came into his mind, "I heard that someone confessed to you," he said, he was surprised to hear the words come out from his mouth.

Kahoko was also surprised, she blushed at that. It took her a few minutes before answering, "Y-yes," she said.

"Oh," Len said simply. He looked away, Kahoko secretly studied his expression, but she couldn't decipher anything, so she said "I-is there something wrong?" she asked.

Len's head snapped back to look at her, he ran his hand through his hair again, "No, why would you think that," he said calmly though his pulse was becoming faster. "Did she see through me?"

"Nothing, it's just because I never thought you were interested in those kind of things," she said, trying to unravel what his sudden question meant.

"I'm only human, so now if you have nothing else to do here, would you please kindly leave now?" he snapped, yet in the end he spoke politely.

"Oh," said Kahoko, "Sure," then she stood up and prepared to leave.

Then she looked at him, "There's no school for a month right?" confirmed Kahoko.

"Yes," answered Len calmly, "Why do you have to ask me, I think you were well informed about that," said Len.

"Oh, y-yes," blushed Kahoko. Len sighed. "Oh, sorry, I'll be leaving now," she said.

Len walked her out to the gate, then Kahoko bid him goodbye, he suddenly held her wrist, she turned to him, his eyes were suddenly different, as if they showed desperation, "Take care if your fingers," was all he said.

Len entered his house, Kahoko was confused, "Why would he say that," she wondered, then she looked at the wrist which Len held and looked at the fingers and saw the slight bruises, "Oh, I got these from gym class," recalled Kahoko, "But then, how did Tsukimori-kun know about that?" wondered Kahoko, she went home with confusions in her head.
