-------------------

It was a quiet night and and the perfect atmosphere for dinner was completed. Kahoko Hino,Saya Hinano and the children were all gathered at the table.

"Dinner's ready!" said a girl who came out from the kitchen.

Kahoko sniffed the scent of the food...It was heavenly "Maria it's smells horribly delicious."

Maria Samanjona was the cook and friend of Saya. Though she doesn't really work for them she persists in working. For the children she said. She was a maria clara(in the philippines..thats a girl thats beautiful and plays hard to get.) everybody knows it except for her of course. She had the image of a timid girl. Her brown hair flowing with the movements of her body, Her brown eyes which semmed to laugh and dance even if she was sad and her white dress matched with all of it.

"Awww Thank you Kaho-chan!" smiled Maria. Carefully she placed the huge vat of food in the middle of the table and accompanied it with a huge bowl of rice.

Kahoko could easily hear the children and her stomach grumbling.

"Now everyone let's all pray"Maria softly said.

The children in turn spoke normally "We love our bread we love our butter but most of all we love each other."

Kahoko could feel an evil glare looking at her and she turned her seeing where it came from. It came from Saya

"How could you...I told you not to let them watch Madeline...gives me bad memories"

Kahoko sweatdropped. Was a kiddie show that damaging?.(A/N: As a matter of fact it is. my friend said that barney betrayed her...what more with teletubbies.)

Hoping to let her cousin return back to her normal self she asked the children if they can say another prayer which the children did without question.

"Ikadatimasu"(lets eat..its japanese) The children chorused once they were done with the prayers.

Kahoko giggled when she heard that. It was on the first day from her arrival from japan.

Flashback

-----

Kahoko looked around at the long dinner table and the children stting on the chairs they were a colorful bunch.

Maria had just laid down the food and as soon as Kahoko grabbed her part of the meal.

"Ikadatimasu!"

silence ensued and kahoko was confuse. Was something wrong? was there something on her face ?was a ghost on her shoulder?

"Auntie...what was that you just said" asked a young girl.

"Yahh it sounded cool" said another girl.

"Um...It was nice" Agreed another.

And the children suddenly created such a noise about the word that they all came to one conclusion. What does it mean?

Kahoko giggled " Well...it means lets eat. In Japanese"

That night the word was instantly adopted.

---------------------

Up to now they keep on saying it and Kahoko always giggled when they say it.

After the stumptous dinner Kahoko,Maria and Saya were the ones left in the dining table.A silent atmosphere surrounded the room.

And Kahoko was the first one to break the silence. "uh..so Saya what time should we get ready for the concert?"

"7:00 P.M. so we should go early. The tickets covers the kids Maria you and I."

"But aren't you going to get bored..."

"Don't worry my Mp3's charged up."

Maria smirked. "Oh that thing connected to your bedroom was the charger. I thought it was another extension cable."

"WHAT!?" Saya screamed. Honestly,her friend can be evil.

"So..i put with the rest of the extension cables to the box and locked it...and i think i left the key with my cousin...she's in her hometown."Maria said innocently.

"Bu-bu- your cousin's in Mindanao and you said she wouldn't be back for a couple of days...what can i listen to when i get there."

"Classical Music is there."

"I..hate you."

Kahoko laughed and she had a feeling her cousin heard that for the next thing she knew Saya was screaming at her.

"You were in this with her weren't you!?"

"what?"she replied calmly.

And thus the night which was quiet was now full of noises much to the inconvenience of the people living in the street.

--------------

(December 24, 5:57 P.M.)

Kahoko chattered with the kids who were wearing the same clothes, Even Saya was wearing cothe that were for the nearby bar. Only Kahoko and Maria were formally dressed. Maria was wearing a white gown with a lily pressed in the middle of her breast and her hair tied up in a bun, kahoko on the other hand was wearing her dress from the second round of the concours.

Amidst the chatter a kid asked Kahoko if she can play the Violin.

"yeah Auntie Kahoko play,play!" said a girl in the Cao Dai jumping up and down excitedly."

"But i don have my-"

Her violin case was offered right in front of her."

"-violin..."

Seeing as she didn't have any choice she started to open the case until Saya called from the outside.

"Hurry up everyone the bus is here!"

Hearing that. Kahoko,Maria and the children ran to the bus."

Totally forgetting the violin and kahoko was still holding it.

------------------

(Manila Stadium)

How can i forget i was holding the Violin!!" Kahoko wailed. She didn't notice she was holding it until one of the children asked her.Saya and Maria tried to comfort her.

"Dont worry Kaho-chan the concert will be quick" said Saya

" and not everyone will notice...besides..whats wrong with carrying it?." added Maria.

Maria was right, what's wrong with carrying it?. Sighing Kahoko and the rest went inside the stadium.

The stadium was absolutely filled many people wearing their finest gowns and tux sat down and chatted pleasently. This obviously made Saya and the kids a bit out of place. but they got used to it. After what seemed to be an hour, An announcer came up on stage.

"Ladies and Gentlemen please give a round of applause to Mrs. Misa hamai and her son Len Tsukimori!"

At that signal the curtains rose and revealed a woman with blue hair playing the piano and a man with also blue hair and a fine tux began playing the violin.Kahoko was surprised time did not change the appearance of Len, sure he may have gotten taller but he was still the same.

The opening played was the song that was dear to Kahoko . The Ave Maria. The song was very sweet when Len and his mother played it. It gave her memories of what happened when she was still participating in the concours,playing with her friends,and experienced those lovely times.When the song ended Kahoko's flashbacked stopped and was back in the present time.The pair started playing other pieces some which were familiar to Kahoko and some which she never heard off. At the middle of the show however, Misa Hami grabbed the microphone and was about to say something.

"Everyone, Thank you for being here tonight. For the other half of the show we will introduce a friend of Len, Everyone, please welcome Tsuchihara Ryotaro.

Kahoko was surprised when she saw Ryotaro coming up on stage He had grown taller and more handsome but his hair style was still the same.She was even more surprised why Ryo is playing with Len.

It was a trio with Ryotaro,Misa and Len playing the Ave Maria again and it was brilliant. Kahoko felt a tiny bit envious of their skills.

"Ryotaro-kun has gotten better" she quietly whispered. however it wasn't quiet enough for Saya who heard it as if it was set at a volume of 100 in a boombox, okay maybe 70.

"Ooh,Kahoko you know this cutie." she teased her.

"Ahh...schoolmates with len and i."

"oh,so you know both of them"

"yes"

"which one do you like then."

Kahoko blushed,that was a very awkard question.

"A-ah no we're just friends." she said trying to escape.

"oh,okay"

Kahoko was relieved.That really was a question she couldn't answer.While thinking,she never noticed that the concert was ending and only realized when Maria nudged her.

"Kaho, it's over, let's go."

Kahoko sighed,she regretted missing the other half of the preformance. meanwhile the kids were still excited from the concert.

"Auntie Kahoko can you play us a song?" asked a young boy.

Kahoko looked at the kids and smiled.Well, I should play a bit haven't practiced much anyway. Taking of the violin from the case, she took position and started to play.
