SORRY!! BILLIONS OF 'SORRY'S!! OMIGOD IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO UPDATE STORIES. But no worries because this isn't the only story that I'm too lazy to update. Everything went the same way with my other crappy fanficts. Eheheheh. Well, I'll carry on to the story. Btw, if I haven't told you before, this is my first attempt on LenKaho and my very first fict in this fandom. I think the first time I published chapter one was a bit while ago, so if you see any grammatical mistakes, please do accept my sincerest apologies. Since I'm Indonesian, and my English teachers are a bit err—freaky and all those things. Sumimasen!!!! Hontou ni gomen nasai!! Maap ya putee, dhieen ma Helen!!
Dedicated to: Inuzumaki Helen, for troubling herself in lending me her violin book, silly me. Thanks a lot!!

CHAPTER 2: Ryotaro: A Rooftop Concerto? Go Figure
There's a bit--okay, long awkward pause after their last conversations, Kahoko seemed to be in outerspace for goodness sake, Len thought. Well it's not my business to be concerned, as he let out an annoyed sigh, walking away from where the quietness had stood.
"Ne, Tsukimori-kun?" Kahoko asked,"I know it's already the end of the concours. But I got these two tickets to watch the Vienna Orchestra, would you, in any case, interested in tagging along with me?" She ended lamely, highly doubted that he would even talk
"..."
'as expected from him..' Kahoko thought
"It's okay if you don't wann come, I'll ask—" She haven't finished her sentence yet Len cut it short; "Okay then," He said "I'll meet you on Saturday, at the train station. The same gingko tree where I waited for you last time. 4 p.m. don't be late." His voice sounded intense and stern.
...
::Kahoko::
"Okay, Tsukimori-kun. Now then, wouldn't it be better if we practice on the rooftop? Since there's Amou-san and--" I trailed off, almost giggling of seeing Len's horrific face when I said the 'Press-Club Princess''-as she herself entitled- name
And, NOT to my surprise, he nodded and quickly proceeded going upstairs, not wanting to have another commotion with that obnoxious and loud friend of mine.
I grinned widely as I tailed him off to the rooftop, where I played Ave Maria for the first time.
...
::Len::
I knew that she will offer those tickets to me. My mother had given them to Kahoko without even telling me. Well, keen hearing does work good for you who has secretive parents.
Ah, I finally arrived to the roomy rooftop. I actually liked the practice room more, well it gave you more privacy without anyone judging you, but rooftops and public places are great too. You'll learn to become more confident with everyone's head turned upon you.
CLICK!
It's Kahoko. I might try to make conversations with her..
"So, Hino-san. Why do you take me to tha concert instantly?" I asked her, still preparing my instrument
"It's from your mother." She answered it without any pressure, she began to open her violin case
'A clear answer, huh?" I thought
"Ah, I see. By the way, I think you're going to be pretty amazed," I stopped a bit, seeing her attention caught, I continued, "Shimizu-kun is going to play solo cello."
Her eyes widened, a smile formed on her thin lips,"Really?"
I only nod and do my usual practice. A bit of major-scale won't hurt. As I put on my shoulder-rest, she asked me,"Where did you know that?"
"My father's acquintance told me that." I continued,"I think it will be one of his Cello Concerto."
"Well, I do love that concerto..." She put her fore-finger on her lips, looking like she was thinking of something, well, I took that scene somekind of, cute...
And I shrugged that out of my mind.
...
::Ryotaro::
Ave Maria? No, I meant Len and Kahoko's Ave Maria?
I turned around and follow the sweet marvelous melody to it's source, not believing what I heard.
The sound still ringing in my ears, it felt so good that they could play together. After all, Hino had reject me a week ago or so, and told me that she liked someone else. Well, for me, the mathematician and scientist awarded School's yearly trophy (Oh, here I am bragging about myself), it sounded kind of obvious. I mean, we're the only ones left. Azuma-senpai and Kazuki-senpai had graduated last year (Yeah, I know, we're juniors now), and left Keiichi and Shouko as Sophomores. And I don't think Kahoko is pedophillian. And however, She rejected me and left Len at hand.
And I don't want to disturb them, so I just go to the back of the Music Departement building to just lay down and listen to it for a while before going to Minami.
...
"At-choo!!"
"Are you okay, Tsukimori-kun?" Kahoko's voice seemed to wake him
"Yeah, I'm alright. I just thought this nonsense. My mom said that if you sneeze without a cause, it means that someone is talking about you." He scratched the back of his head,"-and I don't believe any of it."
KRIEETTT--
"Ouch!" Suddenly Kahoko stopped her playing
"What is it Hino?" Len asked in concern, seeing his red-head 'FRIEND' suffered in a bit of pain on her old cut
"Ano, it's okay, Tsukimori-kun. Actually, my mom has the same thought as your mom. She said, If your old cut stings, it means there's somebody watching you." She paused,"and I don't believe it AT ALL."
...
"Amou-senpai, why do you keep aking pictures of me? I can't concentrate, you know." Shouko said as she cleaned her clarinet, leaving Nami taking pictures of her in every angles she could.
"Well, Fuyuumi-chan," she started."It's a very important duty of the President of the Press Club to have every awesome details of whatever is going on in school. And I, the Princess and President of Press Club has that duty to finish before my kouhai replace me. This is my last year here anyways."
Shouko just nodded, taking in every single word that Nami had said to her. Sighing, she began to play again, but this time, she had asked Nami to turn off the blitz she's been using.
::Hiroto Kanazawa::
I really start singing seriously this time. No smoke in the air, no drinking this week. Well, what a fine improvement of me.
I wonder. What am I going to do with these kids? I start thinking...
Ha! Gotcha! I know something would come to my head, I start walking to the announcer's office.
::Shinobu Ousaki::
"Ousaki-senpai!!!" I turned around only to see Kazuki waving with Azuma on his side, he grins widely like a child, I really do think of him like my little brother
"Ah, Hihara-kun, Yunoki-kun. Konnichiwa. Doushita no?"
"Ah it's nothing. We're just coming back from the General-Education building." Azuma said, smiling.
Ha? Gen-Ed?
"Ha? General Education? What is it about?" I blurted out my thoughts
Azuma laughed merrily, "Obaa-sama thought it would be best if Miyabi studies here. She said something about 'Miyabi is not comfortable with her friends asking about me' Especially Ayano-chan."
"EH? YOU HAVEN'T TELL ME THAT YUNOKI!!" Kazuki shouted
"There-there, Hihara. It won't be a surprise if I told you back then, right?"
::Kahoko::
"Haah, that was long. I think we practiced for 3 hours already" I said, brushing off my hair strand on my cheek
"Aa. Going home now, Hino-san?"
"Yes, Tsukimori-kun too?"
"Hn." He nodded solemnly,"See you tomorrow then." As he waked to the rooftop door
"Hey, wait for me will you?" I said running to his side tapping on his arm
...
::Len::
From: Mother
Have you gone home yet son?
...
To: Mother
Yes, but i'm waiting for hino-san to fix her things first, then i'll go home
...
From: Mother
Then it'll be better if you accompany her home. It's late already. And sorry len, me and your father have business to take care off, about recitals and such. Can you stay with one of your friends for a while, until about 9 p.m.? we forgot to leave the duplicate keys for you
...
How irritating I thought.
To: Mother
I don't mind about accompanying hino-san back home. But, who will accept me to stay with them?
...
From: Mother
Can't you ask hino-san? She seemed to always worry about you (inserts wink animation)
...
*blush attacks*
::Kahoko::
"Tsu- kimori-kun?"
I just saw it! A hundred thousand dollar view! Tsukimori Len blushed! That pinkish red tint colored his fair colored cheeks, with seatdrops on his temples!
"A-ah Hino-san, are you finished?" he closes his phone with unbearable speed, does this means...
"Tsukimori-kun, is that your girlfriend on your phone just now?" I grinned seeing that look on his face
"N-no!! Don't ask unnecessary questions. It's annoying."
More grins for me,"Oh, really? Then why did you blush? Huh? Huh?" I countered him with my words, by the looks of it
Inner Kahoko: I won over Tsukimori-kun!!!
Inner Len: -growls-
"Are you always this annoying, Kaho--"
::Len::
WHAT TO DO!! WHAT TO DO!! My tongue slipped her first name!! I really want to call her Kaho, but MY TONGUE SLIPPED!!
"What's that Tsukimori-k-kun?"
Heck I'm doomed
"Ka... how's your parents?" lame- lame- lame
"They alright, I guess..."
"Um, this might be a little sudden for mine and your liking, but my parents are going out for business until 9 p.m.,.. ah, this is complicated." I took my phone and show Kahoko my mother's message.
"Oh. If that's the case, I can let you stay at my house then."she pulls me "Come on, let's go home!"
::Minami Music Store Street::
"Phew, all that practice made me hungry. Maybe sandwiches will help—ha?"
"Walk on faster, Tsukimori-kun! My mother doesn't like slow people and I don't want to be late for dinner! It's six already!" a certain scarlet-hair dragging the cerulean.
"Hino? Tsukimori? Mother? Late for dinner?" Ryotaro is confused, great ending to this chapter.
