Music is my soul

Prologue

Music…

For me it's my life…

I live my life with music…

I don't care about family…

My world revolves around Music…

That's me… Kotone Izumi…

I study at a musical school and I play the Violin. I

love the violin so much, for me it's my life. I

often practice at school with Yasahiro, my

sensei. He teaches me a lot. He is like a

brother to me, well he's young enough.

I was practicing when my sensei

interrupted me.

"Kotone, Practice time is over"

I nodded and went to the locker room to get my

Things. I said goodbye to my teacher and left.

For me home is the worst place I can be. My

parents don't come home often because

they're often overseas due to work and my

brother is sent to some school.

It's the worst…

I got home and stood at the front door for so

long. No one greeted me when I came home.

The maids are all busy with their work and I

have no friend near our home. I wanted to

go to my own little world just like in the past.

Because this place…

I hate it…

I went straight to my room. I threw my bag and

lay on the bed. I was thinking about the things

that happen before our family became like this.

You won't even call this a family. I was about to

cry when my phone rung. It was my sensei. I

answered the phone and stop crying. He told

me to come over to their house because we

have to talk about the coming concour.

"Okay. I'll be coming over."

I pick out my dress. It's a simple yet cute dress

with a lot of frills. It's like a maid dress without

the apron. I rode my car and drove to their

house. Sensei is still 17 so he lives with his

parents. Well he's still a student after all. Their

house is not as big as ours but it has a different

feeling for it.

It's warm…

I stood there and greeted them. Sensei has a

little sister and she's cute.

"Hello Onee-chan… Are you Onii-chan's girlfriend?"

Sensei and I blushed. What is this girl talking

about. I'm only 14 while Sensei is already 17.

He's 3 years older.

"Ami… She's a student not a girlfriend…!"

Ami pouted and I smiled. Sensei is so cute with

her sister. Sensei look at me with a deadly glare.

I stop smiling and looked scared. He then sighed.

"Come let's talk about the concours, Kotone."

He let me sat in the couch and we talked about

the concours. We talked a lot that I didn't

noticed what time it was. It was already dark

when we finished. I stood up.

"Sensei, I guess I should leave."

"Why don't you eat dinner here? Mom wouldn't mind, right?"

"Mm… It would be great Izumi-san"

"Really? I'd love to!"

"Ah! Kotone, drop the Sensei thing, Yasahiro or Hiro would be okay."

"Hai!"

We had dinner and we talked a lot about Sen-,

No, Hiro. We laugh a lot. This was the 1st time for

9 years that I ever felt so warm.

"I know! Kotone, why don't you play for a while? It wouldn't hurt, right?"

Hiro smiled at me and I nodded. I smiled at him

and prepared my violin. I stood up and then I

closed my eyes, as always, and started to play.

This feeling is different from my playing. I

played and play.

It's gentle…

When I opened my eyes, I saw them all, lying

DEAD. It was full of blood. I rushed to sensei

who moved for a bit and then…

"MONSTER"

He said it and died. No way. Blood was all over

me because I hold his bloody body. I looked at

my hand, it's full of blood. I lost control of

myself, and screamed.

"NO!!!!!!"

I screamed and lost consciousness. I woke up

and saw the ugly scene. I was still weak. I

grabbed my violin and walked out of the

bloody house because the police are

coming. I walked at the streets with

blood on my dress. I was walking and I really

don't know where I'm going. I stopped by and

collapsed.

In a dark road with no one in site.
