He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose between forefinger and thumb. He might of loved music but the headache from kiba on the drums sometimes wasn't worth it.
"Don't worry so much Sasuke, Kiba is away as are most student's on a bio trip" Pein muttered, he voice an ever present monotone. Sasuke made his way to the back room to find his violin but stopped at the door of one of the side rooms, when someone started playing a cello. And there she was, the dark haired girl that he was pursuing, concentrating on the music.
"Such a beautiful cellist that girl but never a happy song, Hinata seems to always be sad" the teacher mused, walking to the door.
Pein had coxed Hitomi to leave the room and play a group song; she paled a bit when she saw Sasuke sitting on a table but still sat in the place set up for her. She looked at the song her teacher had chosen, her chest tightened and it felt like her heart was being crushed. Why this song she thought, almost leaving the room so she could hide, i guess I'm not that much different from Hinata, not until i get angry. She picked up her bow and began to play the first note.
Sasuke watched her play, her shoulders were hunched over and she shivered with almost every note. She didn't even seem to be playing with the integrity she had shown beforehand. After ten minutes or so Pein placed his hand over the strings on the neck of her cello
"It's ok Hinata, we don't have to play this song" Pein whispered, talking so quietly that Sasuke almost missed what he said. The man stood back, away from her, a smile spreading across his face.
"One last thing before the two of you can leave, the school is having a music competition, and I would love it if you both decided to participate" he waved them off. The two of them set there as Hitomi collected her cello and left, going faster than normal. Pein started at Sasuke expectantly and Sasuke just returned the stare.
"Hinata is an orphan, her parents died when she and Hitomi were little, they went to live with their uncle, and I taught the twins to play the cello. Hitomi was killed by their uncle when she was thirteen, since then she has never been able to play that song without freaking" he ushered Sasuke out the door after saying those things, slamming it in his face.
