ok, as cheesy as this story is, I put a really REALLY cheesy part in it this time just for my own pleasure, AND YOU WILL NOT TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME!

really actually, this whole chapter is just a cheese ball. But you're gonna deal with it or not read the story! (Just kidding, I love you readers!)

Life has been pretty awesome living with Usagi-San. We bicker quite a lot over stupid things but we get along more often than not. I've been living here for three weeks and I've kind of just started cooking for him and I daily. He says I'm great at cooking and he always eats what I make so I just continue to cook. Also I clean the house quite a bit because believe me when I say that the man is a slob!

It was around twelve o clock and I was just wandering around the house, seeing what's in all of the rooms when I passed one very tall door with a glass door nob. What's this? I stood pondering for a moment.

I couldn't help myself, curiousity got the best of me and a clutched the glass door knob. The door was rather creeky for a fancy one like it but inside was a large empty room.

No, it's actually wast empty...there's a piano...

A very glossy looking grand piano and that's it. Only the piano stood in the lonely room, right in the center of it. I looked behind me to see if anyone was watching and saw that no one was there so I quickly slipped in and shut the door behind me.

I just couldn't resist, I haven't seen or played a piano in years and I missed it so bad. I sat on the little black bench and rested my fingers on the keys. It felt almost foreign, I couldn't remember the last time I had even gotten this close to a piano.

I played a few note, just dabbling to see how in tune it was and it seemed fine so I just naturally started playing a song I learned around age seven. "When the love falls". It's a sad but beautiful song and my mother always made me play it for her before she went to bed so it was nearly impossible for me to forget it.

I loved hearing this. It was like I had been needing to play this all along. All of these years my hands have been trying to reach an itch they couldn't scratched and finally I was relieved.

When my song came to an end, I slowly played the last measures and decrecendod and finally played the last note. Then I almost pissed my pants because some one burst out in applause by the door.

I quickly turned around to see Usagi-San claping and making his way toward me. "That was beautiful" I blushed and he leaned on the large instrument. "How long have you played piano?"

I turned away and scratched the back of my head "Well, I took lessons before I could even remember but I haven't played in a very long time." Usagi-San looked shocked.

"You're kidding me... That's was incredible for not playing in years. Why did you stop?" When he saw my expression change I could see on his face that he regretted asking.

"I-I guess It just reminded me too much of my mom and dad. It just made me worse when I played it so I... I just stopped. Niichan and I sold the piano that we had in our living room and I haven't played since." I looked down at the white and black keys. They gave me an almost nostalgic feeling and memories flooded just when I touched them. I looked back up at the man before me and he had a sad smile on his face.

"B-but I'm fine now! It's totally fine, I mean, I was just so happy to finally play again but I'm sorry I kind of just used your piano without asking. I mean, well...it's not like I was trying to keep it a secret, it's just..i didn't see anyone around so I didn't really think you'd care but if you do-"

"Misaki," Usagi-San interrupted my rambling, "I don't care if you play piano, in fact, I encourage you to. I told you that you could do what you wanted. Anything in this house is free for you to use." I nodded and blushed. Why do I keep doing that? I must be coming down with something.

"So, I'm guessing you play piano also right Usagi-San?" I asked scooting over on the little black bench. He smiled at me and I patted the spot on the seat next to me. "Show me what you've got."

He uncrossed his arms and sat down beside me. "What do you want to hear?" He asked. I thought for a moment "oh! I want to see if you know this one. It's a duet so I'll need your help." He nodded and I began tapping out a sad, quiet song. It was the duet from the movie "Corps Bride." Cheesy right? I know but it's one of my guilty pleasures. As soon as he recognized the melody, Usagi-San chuckled and rested his hands on the piano playing his part of the duet. I was the lower part, he was the higher one. I would play a small section and he would copy me. This went of for a few measures and he finally went of playing on his own. When the secondary part was becoming serious, I began playing as well. It was like magic how our hands harmonized together so perfectly, and how our fingers looked like they were dancing across the piano.

Sadly our piece came to an end and our hands stopped moving. Usagi-San looked at me with amazement and I blushed. "So what instruments do you play? Just piano?" He asked me. I shook my head going on about how I play trumpet, sax, violin, drums, piano, guitar, and I sing...but only a little.

"Are you serious? How did you learn to play all of those? Did you just take lessons?" I nodded and he ruffled my hair. "Well that's really amazing. I want to hear you play piano again soon but I have to get to work. I'll be in my office if you need me, or your can call for Tanaka he's always around somewhere."

He ruffled the top of my head again before leaving and another annoying blush appeared on my face. Luckily he didn't turn around to see it but when he left the room I let out a breath I must've been holding in. What was that? I swore to myself that I'd never play piano again but this guy walks into my life... More like I walk into his... But then all of the sudden I'm comfortable playing duets? When did that start?

What's happening to me?...oh shit...

sooo, I'm to shy to say anything else now.

DONT FORGET TO BE AWESOME!

much love, Macy
