The next night at 7 PM sharp, Kyoko stood outside the Darumaya with her violin case over her shoulder. A few feet away from her, a black limo was parked and quite obviously waiting for her. People on the streets whispered and gave weird looks at the car's skull and rose décor, walking as far away from it as if death himself was inside. The car door opened to reveal Reino beckoning Kyoko to come to him and get in the car, but Kyoko stubbornly remained where she stood.

"Kyoko, come here. We need to go so we're not late to your first lesson."

"I'm not going in that! You yourself said it was a secret, and you're making it all flashy and attracting attention!"

"You're making it worse by not getting in immediately."

Reino snapped his fingers, and to her surprise, she was suddenly grabbed by 2 men in black suits and thrown into the car landing on top of Reino. He of course, held her there and moved the case aside.

"See? That wasn't so hard."

Since he touched her, she froze in place. Why do I freeze up still? HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME BODY! Kyoko mentally screamed. Meanwhile, Reino caressed her face, and leaned toward her.

MOVE DAMMIT! YOUR PURITY IS ABOUT TO BE TAINTED! MOVE! Her mind screamed with warning, but she could not. Her eyes widened in fear as his face moved closer and closer, approaching her somewhat pure lips. (Somewhat because of Shotaro) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH -eh?

Kyoko blinked several times, trying to register what had just happened. Reino's face was in front of her, close enough to kiss. Yet…why did she feel TEETH on her NOSE?

Reino of course, burst out laughing. Her reactions are just too priceless. He let her go and she quickly got up, bumping her head on the roof in the process, which caused more laughter.

"Why would you do that?" Kyoko demanded.

"Your terrified expression made me not kiss you."

"…"

Somehow that seems familiar…

"Oh look, we're here."

"Here" apparently meant the giant building in front of them with a neon guitar sign that said: Clef Studio. They got out of the limo and went inside, with Kyoko reluctantly following Reino. A man behind the counter decked out in piercings and tattoos greeted them, saw Reino, and pointed with his thumb toward the back of the shop.

"Thanks Yuki, he in there already?" Reino asked.

"Yup, don't make him wait."

Taking Kyoko's hand, he dragged her in the direction they were pointed to and opened a black door that led to a large room with soft-looking walls. A tall, purple haired man with a ponytail dressed in Visual Kei clothes stood in the center of the room.

When he looked up, Kyoko's jaw dropped to the floor and her eyes widened to the size of bowling balls. HE…HE'S…BEAUTIFUL? And so he was.

"Ah, Reino, I presume this is little miss Kyoko?" Not only was his face beautiful, but so was his voice.

"Indeed. Kyoko, this is my good friend Gackuto Kamui. You may recognize him; he's a very popular artist here."

"K-Kamui Gackuto? I-I'm pleased to meet you!" Kyoko said, bowing very formally.

"Please call me Gackt, and pleased to meet you too. I look forward to teaching you," Gackt said chuckling. He was just way too perfect, even his laugh was beautiful!

"Please take care of me, Gackt-san!"

"Well you two have fun; I'll pick you up at 9 Kyoko. Later Gackt, hands off."

"I'm more of a gentleman than you are, Reino. See you." And with that, the platinum-haired man left. Gackt unpacked his own violin, and then showed Kyoko how to unpack hers and plugged it into the amplifier. After putting tapes on it, he placed the violin on her left shoulder and showed her how to hold it properly, as well as how to position her left hand in various spots on the violin. For now, they would begin with plucking: using your right hand to "pluck" the strings instead of the bow.

"Okay, the names of the strings from thickest to thinnest, basically left to right when it's facing you, is G, D, A, and E. On the G string, the first note is A, then B flat, B, then C, C sharp, and then D is the same note as the string D. On the D string, it starts with E, then F, F sharp, G, G sharp, then A, and so on. B, C, C sharp, D, D sharp, E. F, F sharp, G, G sharp, A, B flat, B. That's all in first position."

Kyoko nodded, drilling that into her head repeatedly. Next, he opened a beginner's book for violin and pointed out that everything he just said and showed her was in the book. Now, they would move on to reading music. (This is hard to explain with just words, so I'll just…)

"This note represents the open string G, the thickest one; can you pluck it for me?" He instructed in a gentle voice.

Kyoko nervously plucked the string, which rang out beautifully.

"Well done. Now, this note is the open string D."

She plucked the D string.

"And the A is this one,"

Kyoko smiled when she plucked it, it was her favorite string so far.

"Lastly, the E."

Not used to the highness, she winced slightly when the E's sharp tone rang out.

"Very good, Kyoko. We'll begin playing the rest of the notes on the D string first, since it's the easiest string to play. Do you remember the first note on the D string?"

"Um…E?" The poor girl racked her brain, even though she did remember.

"Correct. Can you tell me the rest?"

"F, G, and A?"

"Exactly! We'll learn sharps and flats later. For now, place your index finger over the white tape on the D string farthest from your nose…good. Pluck that note."

She did as told, and a perfect E resounded throughout the padded room. For the rest of the 2 hours, Kyoko learned every note in 1st position and learned the length of the different types of notes: quarter, half, eighth, sixteenth, and so on. Gackt was just beginning to show her how to hold the bow when Reino walked in.

"Ah, our time is up. Well, keep practicing and drill everything I taught you today into your head until it's common knowledge to you. Also, practice your bow hold for at least 5 minutes at any chance you can with a pencil or pen, which will make your hand remember it."

"Yes, Gackt-san, thank you so much for teaching me today!" Kyoko exclaimed.

Gackt smiled, "you're very welcome, Kyoko, I enjoyed teaching you. I will see you next week, alright? Have a good night."

"You too!" Kyoko shouted after him as he left, smiling until she remembered that Reino was there.

"Did you have fun?" Reino asked, smirking.

"N-no, not at all! I hated it!" She replied defiantly, refusing to admit that she actually did enjoy it.

"Oh really?"

"Yes really!" She turned her back on him to pack up her instrument, and froze in place when she felt a pair of hands snake around her waist.

Reino pressed his face into the crook of her neck and sighed with content, sending goosebumps down Kyoko's spine. Once again, her body decided to betray her and refuse to move under the Beagle's spell.

"Did you know Kyoko? This is my personal room, and the walls are soundproofed. I can do anything I want without being disturbed or heard," he said huskily.

Kyoko said nothing. Her apparitions didn't even come out; they were scared of being taken captive like their sister.

"Well then, shall I continue from Karuizawa?"

"N-!" She started, but squealed when he licked her neck.

"N?" He taunted between assaults on the same spot with biting and sucking, intent on leaving a mark. Kyoko was shaking now, whether with fear or rage he couldn't tell, or both.

"N-no!" She managed to get out through gritted teeth, making him pause. After placing a final kiss on her neck, he withdrew and stepped several feet away from her.

"I will not do anything more to you unless you tell or ask me to. Now, let's go." And just like that, he left. Kyoko blinked rapidly, and her hand immediately went to her wet neck. She rubbed it with her sleeve until her neck hurt, all the while cursing Reino under her breath. His last words haunted her as much as it confused her, why on earth would she ever want him to do anything to her?

"What if he left without me?" She suddenly exclaimed, grabbing her case and racing out the door. Not a word was spoken between the two in the limo, and they sat on complete opposite sides. He didn't even look up when they arrived at the Darumaya, and she left as quickly as possible.

That night, the owners of the Darumaya did not sleep. At precisely 9:28 PM March 15th, Kyoko screamed the words: "! THAT BASTARD GAVE ME A HICKEY!"
