Ok, chapter four, I am actually typing this the same day I finished chapter three, and I finished that in two days. (Well, not even that.) That's great! I'm feeling great! Although, I should probably work on some of my Invader Zim and FMA fics as well, but I'll keep those aside until I get this one done I think, because the plot keeps running through my mind like giant rubber pants! … silence … Invader Zim, what can I say? Anyway, hope ya enjoy it!

Hikaru could be found walking the halls, just as his brother had two hours ago. His hands were in his pockets and his head bowed, and he followed the same ritual as Kaoru and checked his scuffed shoe. As he stood he could hear laughter and voices and proceeded to follow the sound until he found a currently obsolete classroom.

Hikaru stuck his head into the classroom slightly and watched, surprise, sorrow, and anger taking him over.

"No, not like that you idiot!" Ayumi said, a smile spread across her face as she broke out in laughter at the scene before her.

Kaoru, much to Ayumi's amusement and Hikaru's horror, was attempting to play the violin, although he was failing miserably. The wooden instrument was placed upon his shoulder as his chin rested awkwardly atop it, like he had trouble balancing the instrument. His left had held the fingerboard with a death grip as his wrist clung to the neck, when you should have been able to stick a tomato in-between. The bow was a different story.

The bow, meant to be held loosely and with fingers spread out on top and let to hang over just slightly, was having the life wrung from it. Kaoru's hand was turning red from the pointed edges and he could feel the pain surge through him. "Like this?" He asked, having adjusted his fingers just slightly.

Ayumi was sitting on a desk holding her stomach, her laughter growing until in rung through the halls. "You…you idiot…that's not even close…to how your supposed to hold it!" She continued to laugh as tears of joy stained her eyes.

Kaoru's face suddenly turned angry and annoyed. "Well excuse me if I am not a violinist!" He nearly screamed.

Ayumi laughed a little longer before resulting to a giggle as she stood from the desk, walking over to her rather annoyed guest. "I'm glad, you'd be tainting our great name if you were." She said with a wink. "Here, let me help you." She took his right hand in hers and began to position his fingers as Kaoru's face turned a light shade of pink. "This finger should be here and your thumb goes in here. No, no, not like that, like this. And your middle finger goes this far from your pointer and your pinky here." Once done with his right hand she moved to his left.

"Alright, now position the shoulder rest here and place you chin there." She took his chin in her hand and placed it on the chin rest. She then moved to his hand. "Now, don't bend your hand back and let your wrist lock like this, you want to keep it loose and let there be enough room so that you could place a tomato there."

"A…tomato?" Kaoru asked, a little surprised.

"Yes, a tomato. Think of it like this." She said as she looked up to him, her hand still holding his. "You have your wrist loose so that a tomato can fit between it and you keep it loose as to not break the tomato. You wouldn't want red stains all over your blue uniform now would you?" She asked with a wink as she positioned his fingers atop the four strings.

"Alright," She began as she pointed to each sting. "The big string over here to your left is the G string. The four basic notes that you play besides open G are A, which is first finger, or your pointer finger, B, which is second finger, or your middle, C, which is third finger, and D, which is fourth finger, or your pinky. You can also play open D, but playing fourth finger usually sounds better depending on what you are playing. And all the other strings basically use the same method.

"The notes always go A, B, C, D, E, F, and then G, never more and never less. Although you play them in many different orders and there is at least four different notes of the same name, those are the only seven notes you will play."

Kaoru just blinked at what Ayumi was saying, not really taking in all the information. "What?" She asked, a little confused.

"Well," Kaoru began, "I didn't exactly ask for a violin lesson." He said with an awkward smile.

"Oh, right, sorry." Ayumi said with a smile. "I guess I just got carried away. Here, if you'll give me it back then I'll put it away. I have to get going soon. It's Friday and all so I have to get home so that I can start cleaning the house and let the maids have the weekend off."

Kaoru nodded and handed her the violin. "Wait," he asked as she took it from him. "Clean your house and…give the maids the weekend off? Do they have a holiday this weekend or something?"

"No," the blonde girl replied simply as she tucked her instrument away. "I always clean on the weekends and let the maids have the three days off. It's my way of saying thanks to them, for taking care of my family all the time."

"But I don't get it, aren't the maids paid to stay and clean on those three days?"

"Yeah," she answered as she stood, going to the stand that held her music. "I like to let them think of it as a paying vacation."

"But every weekend?"

"Every weekend."

"And do your…parents, approve?"

Ayumi stopped what she was doing, her hands still holding the pile of music as her head hung slightly, her back to Kaoru. "No." She replied quietly. "No they don't, but I'm…I'm quite used to that now." After a few seconds of silence she began to move again, her blonde hair swaying as she grabbed her things and turned to face Kaoru. "I'll be going now." She said with a smile. "Thanks for the great time, it was way better then practicing by myself for two hours!" She began towards the door where Hikaru was, who quickly hid around the nearest corner.

"Wait!" Kaoru yelled to her, causing her to spin around, the blonde strands of hair following. "You've been calling me Kaoru all day, was it all just a lucky guess or can you…can you really tell?"

Ayumi smiled. "I can really tell." She said happily.

"But…but how?"

Yes…but how? Hikaru thought as he listened.

"I don't know exactly, it's strange. I can kinda feel an aura around you and your brother, so to speak, and yours always seems a tad more…oh, I don't know…kinder. Now I really have to go, the maids will never leave if I don't get home soon. See you later Kaoru!" And with that said and a smile upon her face Nakamura Ayumi ran out the door, never once aware of what was going to later happen.

"Nakamura Ayumi…" Both twins said at the same time as they watched the young woman leave. "I don't think I'll ever forget that name."
