Chapter 1
"... Fuwa Fuwa Time... Fuwa Fuwa Time!"
The remains of the final power chord echoed from the Marshall amplifier, emanating across the School hall to the sound of loud cheering from the frantic audience.
"Thank you! Next up will be our last song..." The school girl lowered her cherry sunburst Gibson Les Paul guitar as she gripped the microphone tightly, addressing the crowd.
"I remember when I first met the Light Music Club. It was Nodoka-chan that forced me into all this, she was all mean like..." Putting on her best imitation she deepened her voice, wagging an imaginary finger off the stage - "Yui! You're going to wind up a NEET if you don't sign up" - but I'm happy I did. After all I wouldn't have met Azunyan otherwise. Doesn't she look cute?" Lifting both hands the girl giggled. "Nyan"
"Yui-Senpai!" Hidden behind a crimson Fender Mustang a voice blurted out, dripping with embarrassment.
"...Oh right, hehe. We're After School Tea Time and our last song is Curry Nochi Rice." Yui turned, nodding her head towards the groups drummer and as if on cue the brown hair girl tapped her sticks together, beginning the count.
"One, two... one, two, three, four!"
Fingers moved into position upon the maple fret board of the Gibson as the intro kicked into full swing. The school hall started to bounce as students threw their arms skywards, riding the waves of the effervescent rhythm.
"We're also looking for new members, come see us after the..."
"Yui! Vocals!" A tall, slender girl with long black hair shouted from the right. The interruption cutting short the attempt of a quick club advertisement as Yui scrambled to get the lyrics out.
"I-I might be irresistibly in love with you, Bubbly Wobbly. This hungry feeling won't stop..."
It was early autumn in Kyoto and the recent summer climate was continuing into the month of September. The low lying Japanese sun burned brightly amongst the wispy cirrus clouds that littered the pale blue sky over Sakuragaoka High School. Students dispersed through the gates, leaving the premises, many in groups, others on their own. Some were running while others trailed away casually lost in thought. It was just your average school day, nothing to see here... nothing at all.
"Senpai?... Yui-Senpai? What's wrong?" The ponytailed girl stopped playing mid-chorus, noticing the dazed look on the lead guitarists face.
"H-Huh...Azusa?"
"You just stopped playing all of a sudden."
From behind the yellow Yamaha drum kit, a cheeky shout rasped across the floor directed at the ditzy frontman. "Yeah! Stop slouching and get your head in the game Yui!"
"Look who's talking Ritsu. Your drumming is still as erratic as ever." Came the resulting reply from the tall bassist to her left causing the drummers mouth to form into a pout as she sulked behind her instrument.
"Azunyan... How'd you play a C chord again?" Yui placed her hand upon her head, giggling softly acting completely innocent.
The young rhythm guitarist sighed, shaking her head emphatically. "I swear Senpai... You learn one chord then proceed to forget three more."
Further behind, the blonde keyboardist let out a relieving sigh as she laughed timidly at the situation, moving away from her Korg keyboard towards the back of the room.
"I'll make us some tea..."
A word from the Author
Hello and thank you for reading my first attempt at a K-ON! Fan Fiction.
Each tale will last a few chapters, very much like an episode of the anime. I'm going to attempt to keep this as true to the original material as possible while bringing in a few ideas of my own.
Thank you!
