Chapter 2

When Masamune returned to his seat, he saw that Ritsu had fallen asleep. Masamune smiled softly and pulled out a book.
But then, he heard a beautiful sound. He looked up in confusion. Where was that sound coming from? He looked at Ritsu. He was asleep but he was… singing?
Masamune looked at Ritsu in amazement. He didn't know Ritsu could sing. Ritsu's voice was like an angel's. It was soft and pure, just like a piano.
"Hey," Kisa said. "What's that sound? It's incredible."
"Shh," Masamune whispered. "It's Ritsu. He's singing."
Everyone got out of their seats and walked over towards Masamune and Ritsu. Their eyes were wide when they saw Ritsu singing.
"Wow," Chiaki breathed. "Did you know he could sing, Takano-san?"
"I didn't," Masamune answered. Suddenly, Ritsu twitched and his eyes opened.
"Gah!" he said when he saw his boss and co-workers staring at him. "Don't do that. It's freaky."
Ritsu frowned as his co-workers continued to stare at him.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Onodera," Yokozawa said. "You were singing while you were asleep."
"What?" Ritsu groaned. "Great, Mother said I had stopped singing while I was sleeping. Takano-san, remind me that when we land, I need to call and yell at her."
"Okay," Masamune said. "But... your voice...it's...beautiful."
Ritsu blushed. "Thanks."
"Will you sing for us again?" Kisa asked excitedly.
Ritsu shook his head.
"Oh come on," Yukina said. "Please."
"You better do it, Ricchan," Kisa said. "He'll hold those puppy-dog eyes forever if you don't."
Ritsu looked at the rest of his co-workers, who nodded in agreement. Ritsu sighed. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth. Slowly a song came together.
"My heart is pierced by Cupid,
I disdain all glittering gold.
There is nothing that can console me,
Then my jolly sailor bold."
Ritsu opened his eyes again to see his co-workers' faces frozen.
"Are you all okay?"
"Ritsu," Mino said. "That was amazing. Have you always been able to sing like that?"
"Passengers, this is your captain speaking," the overhead speaker said. "We are just arriving at the island, so please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts. Thank you."
Quickly, everyone returned to the seats. Masamune continued to look at Ritsu.
He's hiding something, he thought. And I'm going to find out what it is.
Thank you my beautiful beta reader Sliver Rose. And before you ask, unless you've seen pirates of the caribbean, yes that's the mermaid's song. Thank you. Sunset
