Chapter 2
Extraordinary Fate
What the hell is going on? The raven haired man dried his hair with the towel angrily. He could not believe it. Just about one hour ago he woke up in a totally alien place, the messiest place he had ever seen. He could swear that he would never ever be there again, for whatever reason. God, it took almost half an hour for him to get rid the smell and dust on his body. He had to get a hot shower that morning, he took longer time in the bathroom both to get rid of the smell and to remember what had just happened to him the previous night.
Chiaki were really annoyed. He had been really messy and stinky. What did he do with that girl? He knew that the girl was not really ugly but he also knew that the girl was exactly opposite of his type of girls. Besides, the room was really a mess, he would not do anything funny to the girl in the room that smelt like a garbage can. Or would he?
Chiaki groaned as he massaged his temples. This was bad. He should not get drunk in the first place. Now, he just wished that he could forget all that had happened just like that was a nightmare. Damn, he thought angrily, this is really bad.
The young pianist got dressed really fast. He did not wear his usual white shirt, instead he chose his lose t-shirt and jeans. He threw his body onto his fluffy bed. He inhaled deeply the clean air of his room. He smiled, this is what people called bedroom, not such a room full of garbage like that! He wondered how the girl could live in such a messy room. He would not stand a day there.
He eyed the digital clock on the table next to the bed, it was almost ten. He was already too late to attend the class, and he was somehow sleepy so he decided to skip today's class and just got some rest. Yesterday was quite a day for him, right now, he just want a good sleep.

"What was that?"
Nodame looked at the other girl who suddenly stood next to her. It was nap time, so the teacher could rest while the kids were sleeping. Nodame was in the teacher room, having her snack when Yuki came and asked her.
"Eh?" Nodame tilted her head, "What?"
"That." Yuki pointed the thing on her table. Nodame's table was messier than the other teachers' but still Yuki know that thing never had been there before.
Nodame took the object and lift it, "This?"
Yuki nodded, she looked at the thing and Nodame with suspicious look, "Yes, that."
"This is a belt," Nodame answered matter of fact and put back the leather belt on her table.
"Yes, and that is a man belt." Said Yuki, narrowing her eyes, "What I want to know is whose belt is that and why it was with you?"
"Well…" Nodame smiled happily, "This is Prince-sama's belt! He left this in my room last night… I accidentally put it into my bag this morning…"
Yuki rose both of her eyebrows and voice, "So, that was why you were late this morning?"
Nodame nodded. She was confused, she had no idea why Yuki was so exciting about this. This was only a plain leather belt, wasn't it?
Yuki squealed and suddenly jumped and hugged Nodame so tight and almost knocked Nodame down, "Finally!" she said happily, "You have a boyfriend!"
Nodame never expect this kind of reaction. Boyfriend? Oh, it seemed like the other girl had gotten a wrong idea. Nodame pouted, she waves her hand to defend herself. She had just met the guy how could he become her boyfriend? Well but sure the prospect of being his girlfriend sounded so tempting. That guy was actually her type.
"He is not!"
Yuki blinked her brown eyes teasingly, "Oh yeah? Then whose belt is that? That's man's belt, no? There must be a story behind it!"
Nodame blushed. She chewed her lower lip, "This is prince-sama's belt…" she repeated, did not know any other way to answer.
"Prince-sama?" teased Yuki, "What a sweet nickname… How long have you been with him?" He hugged her tightly, "Tell me about it!"
Nodame pushed her friend's body so she could breathe, "I met him last night on my way home…" Surprised to hear her explanation, Yuki loosened her hug Nodame took a step back quickly so Yuki would not be able to reach her, "He was drunk and I took him to my place…"
"Eh? To your place?"
Nodame nodded, "He slept on my bed…" not exactly on my bed actually since my bed is covered by some unidentified things, Nodame thought, but still it was where the bed is.
Yuki grinned wider. She knew that there must be something naughty behind all of this, Finally Nodame becomes a real woman!
"Was he good?" asked Yuki still grinning.
"Huh?"
Yuki rolled her eyes, "Well how was he on the bed?"
Nodame tilted her head innocently, "Huh? He is… fine…"
Yuki frowned, she needed something more explicit, "Fine?"
"Oh!" Nodame clapped her hands as she remembered something about what happened last night, "He said something weird over and over…"
"What?"
"Well…" Nodame put her index finger on her chin, "He kept saying, something like, 'please…', or, 'don't'…" Nodame nodded, "Well something like that!"
Yuki laughed, her face turned red as she laughed, "I never know you are such a beast on the bed…"
Nodame raised her shoulders, "Nodame doesn't know it too…" she was just about to ask Yuki about what she meant about beast on the bed but then she remembered, "Ah, but he left in such a hurry… he even left his belt…"
Yuki smiled, "Maybe he wants you to keep it as a memento…"
"And there was other thing too!"
"What is that?"
Nodame reached for her purse and searched for something inside it, "Actually, he left…." She pulled out a card from the purse and showed it to her friend, "…This too!"
Yuki frowned slightly, she took the card from Nodame's hand and read what was written on it loudly, "Chiaki Shinichi, Piano Division, Momogaoka Music College… oh Nodame this is his student card!" She looked at Nodame suspiciously, "This is such a prestigious college! How could you get such a good catch!" She looked at the card once again, she frowned deeper, "And he has quite good looking too…"
Nodame disliked the word, 'quite' in Yuki's sentence. Her Prince-sama was not 'quite' good looking, he was really handsome!
"Did he leave that as a memento too?"
"I don't think so…" Yuki still examined the id card, "It is an important thing, he must be looking for it now…"
"Really?"
Yuki finally looked at Nodame, "You have to return this to him," she added with her signature grin, "Maybe he did leave it so you'll go find him…"
Nodame did not answer.
***
Chiaki took a deep breath, he looked at the paper in front of him, SANMA[1] SUPER, ONLY 150 YEN[2]! –SOLD OUT. Why? When I really want to eat Sanma… Chiaki tsk-ed once before moved on to the other part of the department store. He looked for some meat now.
Chiaki did not know what kind of sin he had done. Lately only bad things happened to him. Today when he realized that he needed to borrow some books in the school library tomorrow he realized that he had lost his student id card. He remembered that he had put it in his pocket after he used it to return the books in the library. Now he had to get the new id card and it would be complicated.
The young pianist bought some chicken, mushroom and other spices to make chicken terrine for dinner. Actually he wanted to make some simple Japanese dinner but he couldn't get the sanma. After all, chicken terrine was one of his favorite foods. He paid for the goods he bought and walked out of the department store, he still had some time before dinner, and he did not need to hurry.
Many thoughts danced in his head. Saiko, Harisen-sensei, Vierra-sensei, his father, and… the girl. Chiaki sighed, he couldn't forget the way she played the piano. Something about her piano playing had captivated him. There was something about her piano playing, something about her…
He smiled, after he heard of her piano he could not stop thinking of it. He knew that the girl had a great talent. She must be a music student too. He never saw her in his college, maybe she did not study in Momogaoka? If there was someone as talented as her in Momogaoka, especially in piano division, he would know. He frowned, well she was quite weird but…
Hell, she really has a weird talent, weird but sure she is talented. If only I could…
"Prince-sama!"
A voice cut his train of thoughts. He had a goosebumps when he recognized the voice. He sighed and turned around only to see a girl waved a leather belt to him. A very same girl with the one he had in his mind just now.
"You left your belt in my room yesterday!"
…met her again.
Sure Gods seemed to love playing game with him.

Author's Note:
Hey, Thanks for reading and reviewing this story. ^^ I am so sorry that I am too slow to update this story… I am really busy lately.
If you don't want to read some stupid excuses for my lateness, skip this paragraph! I have some mock trial to do tomorrow (a day after I publish this chapter) and have to practice and prepare the stuff for the trial these last weeks. Also, I have to go to district court almost every day since November to see some court proceeding and learn it… :P In this mock trial I'll have tomorrow, I'll be the judge of a divorce case. ^^. Wish me LUCK.
Oh about this chapter, I write this chapter while doing a bunch of papers for my school. So, this chapter is a little OOC and non-sense LOL but please forgive me, I will do better next time and make it up. ^^ I am just enjoying making a different story about the beginning of Nodame and Chiaki's relationship. ^^ I hope you could enjoy this too.
And oh, about First, my other fic, I think it will have another 3 chapters and Epilogue, but I am not sure too… I have final test for two weeks since next week, I wish I could update it though I'll be damn busy… Just hope you'll be patient ^^,
