Making You A Better You
Chapter 4
Back at Shinobu's apartment, Kahoko remained quiet on the sofa.
"Are you okay, Kahoko?", Shinobu asked and placed a hot chocolate drink on the table in front of Kahoko.
"... What did I just do? Shinobu! The lady already paid me by paying my tuition fee in full and even had my violin checked! Yet I did that to her son! Not to mention... HE'S MY BOSS... and... and... FIANCEE!", Kahoko said. She was so angry at the guy that she didn't even consider the guy as either her boss or fiance.
Shinobu tried to comfort Kahoko by patting her head. "Well... in the first place, we didn't know how the lady was related to Len Tsukimori and we didn't even know how he looked like. It's fine. Let's just talk to them tomorrow", Shinobu said.
Kahoko nodded like a child. "How did you know that that guy's name is Len Tsukimori?", Kahoko asked with a glare.
"I told you earlier that I went there before taking you from school, right? I asked a few questions since the lady didn't give much information", Shinobu said with a smile.
"Oh... ah! Shinobu, can I borrow your laptop again?", Kahoko asked Shinobu.
"Sure"
"Thanks! Shinobu, you should rest! You have work to do", Kahoko said.
"I will... make sure to turn it off after using it", Shinobu said and went to his bedroom. What work does she mean? Is she planning on leaving the talking part to the Tsukimori's to me? Shinobu thought and sighed in defeat. After all, Kahoko keeps on relying to him when she did something wrong.
On the laptop, Kahoko opened her Yahoo Messenger and found the person she wanted to talk to. She had added the guy as a friend on her Yahoo Messenger after meeting him on a website where she looks for music sheets. After talking about music both had added each other as friends and chatted online when they meet each other. Normally, other than Shinobu, Kahoko talks to her chat friend about the things that she worries about. Shinobu had told her that it's not safe to talk about personal life on the internet but Kahoko was pretty sure that the guy was not a fake since the guy too talks about his life. Shinobu was against it, after all, the internet has many unexpected things.
Kahoko's username on her Yahoo Messanger is Kano.
'Kano: Retsu! You're online! I'm so glad you are :)
Retsu: I'm glad that you are too...
Kano: Can I tell you something that happened to me?
Retsu: Ah... I wanted you to listen to me first
Kano: Ok! What's wrong?
Retsu: You do know that I live in a rich family. My parents had decided on who I'm going to marry. Now I don't know what to do... I didn't even know and especially I don't think I'll ever like the girl. She might be only after my family's money like the other girls who forced themselves just to be near me.
Kano: Haha... but none of them stayed long.
Retsu: That's mean... but yes, none.
Kano: But this time is different. It's your parents who chose her this time, right? The previous girls were not chosen by your parents.
Retsu: Yes. What are you trying to say?
Kano: Maybe your parents trust this girl that's why they chose her for you.
Retsu: Maybe... Thanks Kano, I think I understand :)
Retsu: Another question...
Retsu: I think I made her angry o.O
Kano: Then apologize... what do you mean you think?
Retsu: She wasn't happy to see me...maybe she too is against the arranged marriage.
Kano: Oh...
Retsu: Thanks :)
Kano: You're welcome!
Retsu: You have something to say?
Kano: Yes, I have! There's a guy that I hate! He's so rude! He said my playing was horrible!
Retsu: That's rude...
Kano: I can't believe that jerk! And he is even my schoolmate! If I found him playing, I'll say his music is horrible =_=
Retsu: What if he was just trying to say that you need to improve more?
Kano: With that rude guy, I don't think he'll be saying that .
Retsu: Or maybe he's jealous of you...
Kano: I don't think that is the case... but maybe :)
Retsu: -_-" Just think he's jealous... it might help your anger towards him to decrease
Kano: ...
Retsu: I listened to the record you made. Your vibrato is still not good.
Kano: Aww :( I've been practicing it...
Retsu: But the way you play is good, just needs a bit more practice.
Kano: Ok! :D
Retsu: I would want to listen to you play the violin live though :)
Kano: Haha if we ever meet, I'll play a piece for you. I also want to hear you play...
Retsu: I need to go, Kano. Good night!
Kano: Ok, me too, I need to sleep. Night!'
"Haa~ I knew talking to Retsu will make me feel better!", Kahoko said while stretching her arms. She shut down the laptop.
Kahoko went to her bedroom and tried to sleep but she failed. She decided to sleep on Shinobu's room. "I'll fall asleep easily if I sleep there", Kahoko said and entered Shinobu's room.
"Sorry Shin... I'll sleep here again", Kahoko said and laid herself on the free space on Shinobu's bed.
Kahoko turned to face Shinobu's back. Hehe... He's asleep..., Kahoko thought.
Kahoko turned around. I really can't sleep, Kahoko said. Kahoko felt Shinobu move.
"Just say you're afraid... after all, you watched that horror movie the other day", Shinobu said behind Kahoko's ear.
A loud thud was heard inside the room. "Gah! I thought you were sleeping!", Kahoko said after falling from the bed.
Shinobu helped Kahoko come back to bed and said, "You talked to Retsu again on the net. How can I sleep when I know that".
Kahoko laughed after seeing Shinobu's serious expression, "Sheesh! You're so serious! He is kind".
"Even if you say that, we still don't know"
"I feel like you're my father" Kahoko said crossing her arms while pouting.
"I'm taking care of you"
"Even so... I'm careful"
"Good" Shinobu said and suddenly fell asleep.
Shinobu is such a nice guy... I'm glad that I'm with him, Kahoko thought and fell asleep as well.
