Upon entering the music room, I notice that there are only about 12 other people in the class including Shu and one of the four boys that I had noticed earlier. The teacher then walks in right after me and asks me to introduce myself and to give a song to demonstrate where it was I was at in terms of experience. I turned to the class and said "My name is Yoru Komori, but everybody calls me Night. And as for a song, I'll be singing one that I wrote myself. It's called Monochrome Kiss."
"Monochrome Kiss" By Amalee
"In black and white no whisper of colour
In monochrome we met each other
I'll put my faith in my pain
In you to keep safe
The autumn wind is so unforgiving
Much like the scars that trace my body
Your icy touch I trust
I feel it's beckoning me
I was melting away and breaking
But then you tenderly saved me from myself
Fate is the game we're playing
And it all starts with the monochrome kiss
Nevertheless I'm searching on
Looking for a single drop of love
I look into your eyes
Eves that never once cried
They tell a tale beyond time
And if I can, I'll seek the end
Shrouded in my pain just as I am
Hiding within the night
Together we'll find it
Under the light of the moon
How many nights have I loved in your wake?
I've come to know
To see your heartache
I need you here with me
Without you I forget to breath
With your gaze I'm captivated
But I am finding it holds no warmth at all
Now all the rules are changing
But I despise how you lie with a kiss
I'm begging please don't leave me alone
Colour in my heart right to my soul
Lulling me to sleep
Lies that I've always believed
So tell a tale in my dreams
I'm so confused I've lost my mind
Whispers soft as I'm closing my eyes
Finding all that is lost
Your smile the cost was
Under the light of the moon
I was melting away and breaking
But then you tenderly saved me from myself
Fate is the game we're playing
And it all starts with a monochrome kiss
Nevertheless, I'm searching on
Looking for a single drop of love
I look into your eyes
Eyes that have never once cried
They tell a tale beyond time
And if I can I'll seek the end
Shrouded in my pain just as I am
Your wish in the dark
Shining in bay like the dawn
A barely new tomorrow
So pay it again
So passionate
A braveless kiss on my lips
Hiding within the night together we'll find it
My final night under the moon"
Once I had finished the room erupted with applause and I notice that Shu had even taken out his headphones and had both his eyes open with a small smile on his face. All of this attention was causing me to blush in embarrassment as the only attention that I would get back at the church was negative. After the class had settled down, the instructor came up to me and asked "Where did you learn to sing like that?!" Out of the corner of my eye, I see Shu put his phone back in his pocket. I the turn to the teacher and say "I don't know. I've just always been able to sing like that, but the church where I grew up would never let me sing so I'm a bit out of practice." The teacher then turned to the class and said "Kou. Could you come down here and sing something for us as well?" Then that same boy from earlier stood and walked down before turning to me and smiling.
(? POV)
WOW! That was all I could think as the girl named Night sang for the class. I then hear the teacher as me "Kou. Could you come down here and sing something for us as well?" I then stand up and walk down before turning to Night and smiling at her. I then turn back to face the rest of the pathetic humans in the class and say "This is one of my very own songs. Many of you will recognize it if you listen to my music!"
"The Last of the Real Ones" By Fallout Boy
"I was just an only child of the universe
And then I found you
And then I found you
You are the sun and I am just the planets
Spinning around you
Spinning around you
You were too good to be true
Gold plated
But what's inside you
But what's inside you
I know this whole damn city thinks it needs you
But not as much as I do
As much as I do, yeah
'Cause you're the last of a dying breed
Write our names in the wet concrete
I wonder if your therapist knows everything about me
I'm here in search of your glory
There's been a million before me
That ultra-kind of love
You never walk away from
You're just the last of the real ones
You're just the last of the real ones
You're just the last of the real ones
(You're just the last of the real ones)
You're just the last of the real ones
(You're just the last of the real ones)
You're just the last of the real ones
I am a collapsing star with tunnel vision
But only for you
But only for you
My head is stripped just like a screw that's been tightened too many times
When I think of you
When I think of you
I will shield you from the waves
If they find you
I will protect you
I will protect you
Just tell me, tell me, tell me, I
I am the only one
Even if it's not true
Even if it's not true, yeah
'Cause you're the last of a dying breed
Write our names in the wet concrete
I wonder if your therapist knows everything about me
I'm here in search of your glory
There's been a million before me
That ultra-kind of love
You never walk away from
You're just the last of the real ones
You're just the last of the real ones
You're just the last of the real ones
(You're just the last of the real ones)
You're just the last of the real ones
(You're just the last of the real ones)
You're just the last of the real ones
I'm here at the beginning of the end
Oh, the end of infinity with you
I'm here at the beginning of the end
Oh, the end of infinity with you
I'm done with having dreams
The thing that I believe
Oh, you drain all the fear from me
I'm done with having dreams
The thing that I believe
You drain the fear from me
'Cause you're the last of a dying breed
Write our names in the wet concrete
I wonder if your therapist knows everything about me
I'm here in search of your glory
There's been a million before me
That ultra-kind of love
You never walk away from
You're just the last of the real ones
You're just the last of the real ones
You're just the last of the real ones
(You're just the last of the real ones)
You're just the last of the real ones
(You're just the last of the real ones)
You're just the last of the real ones"
(timeskip)
(Night's POV)
Class had just ended and I was about to head off to my least favorite class, Math. I had just finished packing up and was headed towards the door when suddenly I'm being grabbed and next thing I know, I find myself in another music room. Turning around, I come face-to-face with Shu who looks down at me with tired eyes. "You never told us that you could sing or write songs. Play another for me. The others will be here shortly so sing when they get here." "Ok. But I'll need your help for the song that I have in mind. Do you know how to play the violin?" I ask. When he nods, I give him a big smile.
(mini timeskip)
It takes about 30 minutes for the rest of the brothers arrived. In that time, Shu and I talked and I found out some rather interesting information about him. By the time the brothers had arrived, Shu and I were in our positions and had everything set up, seeing as how this would become one of my recordings. When they arrive, Reiji speaks up and asks "Why have you called us here, deadbeat? We have classes that are more important than what ever it is you want to show us." Shu then turns to them and with violin in hand says "Little Miss Punk neglected to reveal some rather interesting information about herself. Apparently she's the one that goes by the name "Amalee" (Not true you guys. Amalee is herself and I am merely someone who enjoys her songs and voice. Please do not press charges.). I had you all come here so that you could listen to her sing." Turning back to me he nods and I click a button for the recording to start.
"Shatter Me" By Lindsey Stirling
"I pirouette in the dark
I see the stars through me
Tired mechanical heart
Beats til the song disappears
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!
Shatter me!
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!
If only the clockworks could speak
I wouldn't be so alone
We burn every magnet and spring
And spiral into the unknown
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!
Shatter me!
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!
If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
The world is spinning but only in gray
If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
The world is spinning but only in gray
(Only)
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!
Shatter me!
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!"
By the end of the song, all the brothers are standing there amazed at my voice. I then noticed the presence of four others in the room, one of them being that Kou guy from class. Laito then says "Little Shadow has a very beautiful voice."
(tiny timeskip)
After I sang, all the brothers gave me compliments on my voice then left. Well, all except Shu, he stayed.
After putting away all of the supplies, Shu walked up behind me and wrapped his arm around m waist. Suddenly I'm laying on top of him and his face is nuzzling into the side of my neck. All I can hear from him is the steady rhythm of his breathing, proving to me that he had fallen asleep. My expression grew soft as I felt myself enter my world of nightmares.
(Shu's POV)
I'm woken by the sound of Night whimpering. Looking down I'm shocked to find her crying in her sleep and mumbling things like 'No, don't hurt him' and 'Stop, you're hurting me'. Suddenly her eyes snap open and she bolts upright. Turning to me, she visibly tenses and says "Tell no one of what you just witnessed lest there be blood spilt. Understood?" I simply nodded as I remembered the feeling of terror I witnessed at the entrance. I then asked her "What was your nightmare about? It might be good to let others know what happened." All she says is "It is something from my past. And if you and your brothers want to know about that, then prove to me that you are worthy of my trust." She then gets up and leaves, but not before saying "So far I am considering letting you in and trusting you. Continue as you are now and I will drop my mask and let you in." She then opens the door and leaves me to my rest.
