It has been half an hour since Len and Kahoko were trapped in the room. They never looked at each other and everytime if they did , they would move away their eyes as soon as possible. For Len, remaining silent was okay, but for Kahoko it was a disaster.

Suddenly a small instrument caught her eyes and she stood up went towards it. She opened the transparent box and out came out a flute. Len stared at her as she slowly uncovered the silk clothing and took out a flute.

She asked with gleaming eyes,"You even play the flute!".

"Yes, but that was a long time ago, I have left it when I was a child"

"But I thought only Yunoki-sama could play the flute, can you play it for me?".

Len nearly smirked at the childish fondness which she was showing for the flute. "Umm..i guess , but I sort of forgot how to play it".

Len stood up and went towards played a soft tune that lasted for a few minutes. While he was playing the flute, Kahoko relished the muzic that was oozing out of the instrument and after the tune finished, tears started descending from her eyes. Len stopped and brought out his handkerchief .He slowly wipped her tears off. Kahoko on the other side was completely blushing hard .

"Why were you crying?".

"The music was so soft that it pierced my heart".

Len chuckled a little which seemed a lifetime achievement for Kahoko,"If it was soft how can it pierce anyone's heart?".

Kahoko said,"Can you teach me how to play it?"

"…".

"please…".

"okay…I'll try".

You place it under your lips and you put your fingers on the keys, to produce a tone. Then….you…..".

A loud lightening struck…..

Kahoko shrieked and the lights went out. Since there was no sunlight because of the rain, no light came from inside and in the fear of darkness Kahoko held herself close to something…..or someone. It was a reflex action and she never meant to do it. It just happened….

Len stood there dumbstruck and speechless the minute Kahoko embraced him. He had not expected this at all. Instead of shrugging her off, to his surprise he hugged her gently and yearned for more closeness. However his intentions were harmless and to Kahoko's surprise, she realized he was calming her down. His ice-cold attitude seems to have a leak of utter kindness.

He softly urged her to sit down while Kahoko held to him in a childish manner, Kahoko was almost sitting on his lap and Len was gently hushing to stay qiuet. It was after some time that Kahoko had stopped trembling and calmed down. Both didn't want to leave their comfortable positions and sat like that. Kahoko asked all sort of questions about his childhood and about his parents and Len answered them casually. To see Len actually take care of someone ,that is her, is no less than a miracle.

Suddenly Kahoko asked,"Len why don't you smile often?".

Suddenly the lights came back and the door opened, out stood their butler to see Len and Kahoko standing there showing their back to each other, both their faces flushed. Emmi came inside and said,"Ohh, dear you both are fine?".

"Yes."came out a short and curt reply from Len who sped out of the room with below-freezing-temperature attitude.

Kahoko stood their amazed at how easily he could change his attire from cold to warm and again cold. 'Hmmm…interesting'.

At dinner, Aunt Emmi had to go to one of her friend's house, so it was only Len and Kahoko at the dinner table. Kahoko was the one who started the conversation (as most of us would suspect).

"Len?".

"…..".

"Why were you so kind to me?"

"Well is it wrong to be so?".

"No, I am not saying that…..i am asking why can't you be like that everytime?".

"….."

"I am waiting for an answer Len!"

"Its is absolutely my soul wish whether to change myself or keep it the way it is. And I like the way it is!"

"No, that's not the right way to behave! Do you have any idea how much you offend others with it?".

"In my opinion, I have not offended anyone. It is me. This is me. If anybody has a problem with me, it should be better for that person to stay away from me."

"But this way, you won't be able to make any friends"

"I don't need any friends! They just don't understand .They are just stupid people who have lost the motive of life and are there to cause emotional distraction…."

"That's enough! I will not hear anything about what you say about friends! In my life, friends hold soul supremacy after my parents. They are the most wonderful beings in the how can you understand ?, you are the person who hasn't even had a single friend since childhood!".

So saying Kahoko stormed out of the room and locked her self in the guest room.

Len sat there a bit dazed at what just happened right now.

He realized that he had just offended a girl.'Woah, first time in my life'.

After finishing his dinner, Len said,"Hmm, guess I have to make this up to her….".
