Chapter 2
Hino rushed home, her heart pounding with every step. Her cheeks were still bright red. The snow fell lightly on her shoulders.
"We almost…We almost… Kissed… Ryo-kun and I…" She whispered silently to herself. "Gosh I'm still Red!" she whined. As she made her way towards the main street, a young woman bumped into her.
"Ah!" Kahoko said quickly as she looked at the face of the careless girl. "Watch where you're going next time okay?" Kahoko said waiting for the girl to stand up.
"…Gomena…" her voice was shaky from the weather. The young girl looked up at Kahoko. Her big innocent green eyes gazed steadily. Her long blond locks were tied up in a pony tail. "Gomenasai!" she said bowing. She got up and continued running down the street.
"Well, that was…strange…" Kahoko mumbled to herself. "Now I have to get home." She said as she breathed hot air into her hands. "Man its cold."
"Hino-sempai?" came a soft voice. "What are you doing here?"
"Shimizu-kun!" Kahoko smiled. Shimizu was now taller than Kahoko, and apparently, his sisters played a bit with his hair. It was now spiky. A lot of girls fell for him. I was just on my way home!" Kahoko answered. "What are you doing here out in the snow? Shouldn't you be home right now?" she laughed. "It's pretty cold."
"I'm looking for my sister." He shrugged. "But I'm getting really sleepy right now." He said stifling a yawn. "I might just fall asleep here."
"Now now Shimizu-kun. Let's not fall asleep here." Kahoko said giving a slight smile.
"It was nice seeing you Hino-sempai. I have to go look for my sister." He said giving an angel-like smile. Kahoko turned light pink as Shimizu walked in the direction of the young girl.
"Now I really have to get home." She looked at her watch. "6:00pm. I'm going to be late for dinner." She frowned. She began running towards her house.
"I'm HOME!" Kahoko announced as she took of her shoes. She walked to the kitchen almost immediately. "What's for dinner?" she asked her mother with a huge grin spread across her face.
"Curry." Her mom laughed as she saw Kahoko's delighted expression. "Kaho-chan, why don't you go prepare the table." Her mother smiled warmly. "Oh and by the way, you got some package from a Mr. Len Tsukimori. Do you know him?" she asked as she pointed her finger to a box beside the door.
"Tsukimori-kun? I haven't heard from him in ages! Ever since graduation, he's been doing concerts world wide!" she exclaimed. "I wonder what he sent me." She walked towards the box. It read 'HINO KAHOKO' on top. She opened it slowly. It had a letter inside.
"Hino-san, I had an extra." She read in her mind, "Take this. It sounds good. From: Len Tsukimori."
"What is it dear?" her mother called from the kitchen, curious as to what was in the box.
"…A Violin! And it looks brand new!" Hino smiled. "But why would he…"
"Oh I think I know." Her mother whispered to herself with a smirk.
Somewhere in Europe, Len Tsukimori was busy practicing when all of a sudden, disturbing thoughts began popping up in his head…
I wonder if she got it. She's halfway around the world for crying out loud! I wonder if she'll believe that it's an extra. Or maybe I should've just wrote that it was new and it was for her. Wait, what the heck am I thinking about?! When did Hino ever become important! I have a performance to think about!
"Mr.Tsukimori, you're on in 5 minutes" a young man said as he opened the door. Len just gave an angry stare.
"You should be more efficient." Len snapped. He glared angrily at the young man.
"G-Gomenasai!!" the young man said bowing really low. He left almost immediately.
People are so inefficient these days. Alright 5 minutes. One more practice. Let's do this!
"AND NOW, PRESENTING INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN VIOLINIST, LEN TSUKIMORI!"
The loud applause filled the theater. Len slowly walked on stage. His face serious. The blue haired man slowly lifted the violin and bow into position.
This is a really big crowd. I feel a bit nervous…just like…Hino did… the theater's huge…so much people…
FLASHBACK
ONE OF THE SELECTIONS
"Wow, that's a big crowd. I'm getting nervous." Kahoko mumbled, her voice shaky. She gave a worried smile at Len.
"Controlling your emotions is a skill all performers must have." Len replied seriously.
BACK TO PRESENT TIME
That's right…it's a skill…a skill to stay calm. Arigato…Hino…alright…let's do this concert.
BACK IN JAPAN, Hino was watching Len on TV. what a coincidence…
"Ooh! He's really amazing isn't he!" Kahoko smiled to herself. "Tsukimori-kun…"
