Ch:2

(Piano Prince)


His pale hands lingered softly on the ivory keys as he gazed at the sheet of music. He smiled as he glanced at the familiar music sheet. Beethoven's movement num. 6, he had played this piece a number of times for his family and friends. As his finger gentle pressed down on the first key the low rumble sounded in the room. His fingers moved gracefully on their own, as he kept his pace on the pianos keyboard. His eyes shone with pure adrenaline and bliss as he continued on the pianoforte before ending the piece in one solid note. He mentally applauded himself as he shut the lid over the piano keys once more, rising slowly from the piano bench.

"Master Ashitaka", Hiro, the butler, greeted Ashitaka with a warm smile, "what are you doing up so early in the piano room?"

Ashitaka smiled sheepishly, "I couldn't sleep Hiro. I am sorry if I disturbed you"

"Not at all Master Ashitaka, I was just passing by when I heard someone playing"

Ashitaka smiled once more as he lowered his head afraid of the blush that crept on his cheek.

"Well I guess I better get ready for school Hiro, good day"

"Good day to you too Master Ashitaka."

Ashitaka hurried upstairs too his large bedroom. Shutting the large door behind him he yawned slightly from exhaustion. It was nearly four forty-nine and he would have to be getting up soon anyways, he groaned as he picked his school uniform from his closet. Draping it across his chair, he lazily placed his polished school shoes beside the chair.

Stifling a large yawn he slowly began to disrobed leaving a stray of discarded clothes behind as he entered his bathroom. The sudden bright fluorescent light made his eyes squint. As his eyes adjusted to the sudden light he pulled on the water knob adjusting it so that the water was the right temperature. An hour later he was out of the bathroom a cloud of steam followed behind him as he rubbed a towel in his wet hair.

He glanced at the clock once more, it was nearly time for him to be ready. Slipping on his black pants and a white undershirt before her buttoned up his white long sleeved shirt. Deciding to keep the school blazer off till he reached the school ground. He took his time tying his black shoes, only to hear a soft knocking on his door.

"Come in" Ashitaka said softly as he moved on to tying his other shoe.

"Ashitaka, daddy is calling for you", a soft timid voice squeaked out.

Ashitaka smiled as he stared at his adorable five year old little sister. She wore her hair in pigtail with two pink ribbons as well with a adorable yellow sundress with matching shoes.

"Tell him I'll be down in a few minutes", the girl smiled as she nodded hurrying down the stairs to send the message.

Ashitaka chuckled too himself softly as he grabbed his school bag and draped his school blazer over his shoulder. His father greeted him with a quick hug before he got down to business.

"Are you sure you'll be fine these two weeks", his father asked

"Of course father, are you okay with these two weeks?" Ashitaka teased

"Why of course boy!" his father laughed heartily, "why your mother and I have plan this trip for months"

"Then do not worry father two weeks without you won't kill me" He smiled

"I know I'm more worried about the house then you two" he winked at his son.

Ashitaka grinned as he playfully slapped his father on his shoulder. The two stepped out into the driveway as sleek Roll Royce pulled up, the driver promptly opened the two passenger doors. He sat silently in back as his father held a heated conversation with someone on his cell phone. Ashitaka yawned softly, he had hardly got any sleep and he could not risk sleeping through Anatomy Class. Closing his eyes he slowly dozed off into a deep sleep.

BEEP! BEEP!

Ashitaka jostled awake from the abrupt stop and loud horn blaring. His eyes caught the gaze of a brown eyed glaring girl. Who was not so kindly giving them the finger and swearing nastily at them. She had turned swiftly before Ashitaka could catch a great glimpse of her profile. His father clucked in annoyance.

"Women these days", he said as he shook his head, "Let's hope your sister doesn't turn out like those lady's"

"That father I could promise will never happen" Ashitaka said.

The car started to move once more, it took only a good five minutes when they reached Shinogama High School. It was the leading private school for the gifted, Ashitaka thanked their driver once more as he hurried to catch up with his friends.

"Look it's Ashitaka!" A brunet shouted.

He grinned as he waved at his friend Tooru, "It's nice too see you too"

The brunet grinned as he ruffled Ashitaka's hair, "Is that all you can say!? I thought you were my best friend"

Tooru stuck a dramatic pose earning a few stares from the people walking by. The two grinned as they hurried to their lockers. His friend Tooru struggled to pull out his Advance Chemistry book.

"Thanks for standing around Ashitaka" Tooru groaned as he tugged harder on the book.

"Hey it's not my fault, I didn't design these lockers"

"Yea your point is?" The brunet laughed earning a playful punch to the back.

Their was a loud sound of a page tearing before Tooru stumbled back gripping tightly on two page from his book. He swore as he slammed his locker closed.

"That's the third one this month!" He groaned.

"Like your parents can't afford it"

"True!" he laughed once more.

The two separated near the hall as each went to their assigned study hall. His classroom was large but only a few filled the seats. He took his seat closest to the window as he gazed down at the landscaping of the school.

"Everyone take there seat!", Their over eccentric teacher chirped, "I would first like you to all give me your full attention."

The class slowly glanced up at her before returning to their usual chattering. She huffed making her cheeks plump up with air. The class giggled as the teacher became exasperated with her class.

"Is ok if I can come in now?" A pale black and purple headed girl asked through the door way, her head popping in slightly.

"Oh yes! I am sorry I forgot you were-", she cleared her throat and turned to her class a stern look on her face, "This student is San Toshimasa, San won't you come in and introduce yourself?"

The girl nodded as she slid open the door and stepped into the room her head held high sending everyone condescending looks. The teacher was the only one to make a sound when she gasped. Ashitaka mouth widened as he stared at the familiar girl once more, but that wasn't why he was shocked.

This girl named San had on a very tiny tight white blouse on, her school tie wrapped around her narrow waist, bringing attention to her very short school skirt. If that wasn't bad enough she had strung chains around the belt loops of the skirt and fishnet stockings. The girl smirked as if she expected there reaction.

"My name is San, I don't like talking to people. I didn't transfer here I was kicked out of my last school. I already hate this school and the people in it." She said monotone as she pushed back a strand of purple hair.

"O-Oh m-m-my p-p-please t-take your s-seat San", the teacher stammered out.

San nodded as she went to the back of the room and sat in the last seat facing the window. The class had remained silent the rest of the time as they kept casting glance back to her. Soon the bell rang and Ashitaka took his time leaving the classroom. The outrageous girl San remained seated as she kept looking off to the distance. Ashitaka didn't know what came over him but he slowly went to her desk waving his hand over her face.

"Um class is over you know", he whispered softly.

She turned as if she had barley noticed him there a look of confusion fell on her face before her eyes slightly narrowed.

"I've seen you before haven't I?" She said.

Ashitaka nodded as he was to dumbstruck to respond, her voice earlier it had been cold and low with annoyance but her voice now was soft and almost melodic like.

"Now I remember!" she stood from her seat her face inches from his face.

Ashitaka blushed madly as her smell of jasmine and vanilla assaulted his nose. He heard a loud smack of flesh meeting with flesh. He stared stunned as he touched his cheek. She had slapped him!

"You're the fucking idiot in that car that nearly ran over me!" She snapped as she shoved him away with amazing strength for her petite body.

He watched her stock away from the classroom. His hand still on his now red cheek. She had hit him, no one in his whole life had ever struck him...ever...until now...
