You Don't Know What You Do To Me…


kalen1

Summary: It all started from day one when Tsukimori Ren suddenly appeared during her slumber after a long practice. Then it turned to secret meetings until emotions suddenly shattered. What are they going to do to overcome everything? Rated M for mature readers and for mushy lines and for the mess up brain of the author.

Disclaimer: La Corda D'Oro is not mine but wishes that Ren Tsukimori is mine. *sigh* I know it's supposed to be Len for English translation but do forgive the author who loves the sound of 'Ren'…


Author's Note:

So, here's the delayed update. I would feel terribly bad if I wouldn't be able to update by the end of the year. That would be really bad. I wanted a good start for the year even though there are a lot of things that happened. I'm not sure if this is the shortest update so far. But I'm still keeping on my oath that I'm going to finish this fic. I love La Corda so much and I wanted to prove to myself that I could be able to finish something.

So, the title of the new chapter is all that reflects the question in my head. Haha. I can't decide though my story is not similar to what I'm doing in this new chappie. Well, I had one similarity, "how to kill the people who sell flowers, especially roses?" LOL. Of course, I'm not going to do that!

Oh well…

And I'm so happy that I'm getting back on the upcoming chapters for La Corda. I really love the scanlators, translators, editors and those people who update the manga. Thanks to them and to the people who host their projects! I'm so grateful! And yeah, guys, do you know there'll be a second season for La Corda that's supposed to be aired this upcoming spring??? I was ecstatic when I read this news! They'll be including Eto, Aoi Kaji and Akihiko Kira. More handsome guys to come in Hino's life! My goodness! One of the best news this end of the year!

There are still so many things that has to be said and done…

Watch out…

And btw, I really appreciate people who had so much patience with my grammar and also for waiting for the new chappies to come. Thank you very much! Words fail me! *sniff*


Special Thanks To:

lilyevans-luvs-jamespotter: Thanks. I appreciate the word of praise regarding the last chapter. I hope you'll also like this new chapter. There are still confusions about this chapter. And the question is: did they really get what they want in this new chapter? Well, go figure. Well, it's just too bad with the two characters but who knows? I had so many ideas coming yet. Well, I did confirmed that Hino loves Tsukimori but who knows what might happen? Hehehe. Thank you again!

SnowCharms: Well, no, there's no one listening. Remember I had the people either eat their breakfast in the dining area or went out. Well, let's not make Ran-ojii listen to them. That would be…wrong. *snickers* And it's the bathroom. It's up to them. (I think it's much proper to say, it's up to me… such burden to the author who made the fanfic. Tsk. Tsk.) And no, he's not a virgin here before chapter 06. The two basically had experiences. I just didn't elaborated the idea. Oh well. Let's see what would happen next! Thanks!

midnight_blue08: The answer to your question is: YES. She had. Okay, for the confusion of the people here, I'll make sure to note that in the next chapter but not this chapter. This chapter is more like the confuse stage of the people. Heck, my head is actually confuse right now so basically, you could figure I'm in that stage that I don't know what would I do. Err… Anyway, sorry for the confusion. Don't worry, I'll clear that in the following chapters. Again, I'm sorry…

thundra18: Thanks for appreciating the lemon chapter. More lemons to come! Well, not this chapter and not so soon. I still have to make them feel sadder and all. I'm such a bad author. Yes, I did a lemony chapter and I'm not sure when the next lemon chapter is but it would be something not out of angst. I'll make sure that Hino's not surprise or Tsukimori's not mad or someone else. Hmmm… *smiles* Thanks for the support! Keep on reading!

aniprincess13: I don't know. But heck, it's my dream to be surrounded by hot guys! We all know she's not the only girl in the world but we have to accept the fact that there are really girls out there that had guys surrounds them like that. How I wish I'm in her shoes. *sigh* Yes, Hihara is emo. He's getting back in this chapter but not totally. He's still emo in this chapter. Well, let's roll out the booze! Yes, Shimizu have Fuyuumi. In this chapter, they have their moment. Or something… let's leave the freshmen out of the lemony thingy. It's hot though for December, that's odd. Don't worry, no steamy events in this new chapter. More like, I don't know. My head is in a mess right now. Love life. How I hate it. Anyway, they're not making up so soon. They're still stuck in the confusion and who knows how I'll end this. Err… And in reality, I'd love to see Tsukimori being so violent…for a change. And thanks for the raging comment. I feel like I'll be smacked as well… *sweatdrop*

aviane13: Yes, cheers for sembreak that I didn't feel had a break! Argh. I had practicum for sembreak so basically that's one reason why I was not able to update and my head's in a mess since I'm in a mess. That sounds so wrong. Oh well… Sorry. Well, if you're having some problem tracking the story, that's the option right now, to re-read the story. But I'm really sorry. There are times I had problems typing and just stare at the monitor. I know I'm a slave driver! I'm really sorry. Tormenting people and all, and I'm also tormenting myself as well. Don't worry, it's not just you guys suffering, the author as well! No, I don't feel bad for people asking for update. I'm actually grateful for those people. You guys inspire me to finish the fic! Thank you so much! And I really appreciate that there are people who enjoys and loves reading my fics. It means a lot to me. And I really like the idea of Tsukimori, getting out of the cold exterior and getting violent and becoming like a predator even for ONCE. LOL. Well, just a wonder. Thank you so much!

SadieInuzuka: Condoms. Condoms. Not available during that moment. LOL. Well, they had no idea that some crazy author is putting them up in such a mess so condoms are out of question. Well, let me think if I'll have Hino get preggy or what. I don't know, whichever comes first in my head. I'm still not satisfied with the lemon. Let's make it more satisfying the next time. LOL. Thanks!

The_Last_Vampire_1982: Yes, I know the condom thing again! I'm sorry, out of stock, out of…reach? LOL. No convenience store nearby. Damn. Tsukimoris' should have in their huge mansion. LOL. Oh yeah, the TsuchiuraxHino, not yet done! But for your satisfaction, they're married in that fic. Yeap. And it's also angsty, in a way. I feel like I'm tormenting people with angsty fics! God! Preggy Hino is still on hold. Not sure. No idea. No comment. Let's see what I'm going to write next. I haven't done any draft for the upcoming chappy. I'll do that while listening to damn freaky fireworks! Hell. I have several assignments, reports and lectures to finish as well. Argh! I hate masters! For Tsukimori, I do think he's spoiled but in a way that he doesn't want to act spoiled since his obsession is to be able to reach that certain degree of level with his parents so basically, I don't know. I will clarify that in the next chapter on his decision. I'm currently forming ideas inside my head on his decision and what he's going to do. Thanks for that comment. It made my brain cells work once again!

Serena_of_the_Moon: Yeah, finally but the finale of the lemony chappie. I will put on hold any lemony thingy again…or so I say… No, I wasn't making it sweet in that chapter. It was more like putting more them to angst. Making people, driving people towards their first instinct and then…kaboom. Oops, I don't think so. Something like that. I'm trying to put them in a situation that 'what if' thing. Something near to that idea. It's not sweet in that chapter and it's not getting sweeter in the next chapters. Maybe in the end part or near the end part. Yes, I do agree that Hino should've made Tsukimori feel bad. But the thing is, oh my goodness, I just realized, I'm actually putting a character of mine towards Hino. LOL. Noooo!!! I think I'm a martyr in a way. Yes, we have to put some part for Kanazawa. He's in charge of all of them so he has to be responsible to what they do in the music camp. Now, that's a thought for the upcoming chapters. *snickers* They're drinking in the mansion, so… I'm sorry, I'll have him drunk in the next chapter. So sorry for the disappointment. Thanks for reading!

DawnFireAngel: Yes, that's the idea. They're really OOC in this fanfic. It's something I tried avoiding but the head of the author is working weird, really weird. I tried but I can't. I do apologize. Well, yeah, bold to write things like this. The idea of writing the series of fanfics in La Corda is basically drawn in my initial admiration to writers of M content in Inuyasha. There are writers there who could be able to write the basic idea of M content in such a good way that you could feel their remorse, pleasure and everything. It's hard and it's something not supposed to be written but I actually admire people who could write it down in such a way. I'm way beyond their level. I'm trying but I'm not anywhere near them. I don't feel bad that you're not finishing reading it but I'm really grateful that you have left a comment like this. Writing a comment for a fic is basically something that authors look forward to and I'm happy you left some of your moments to leave this comment. Thank you.

animeaddict787: Yes, an eventful chapter but Hino and Tsukimori are going to suffer more because of that chapter. *snickers* I'm such a bad author. (Hey, how many times do I have to write that down? I have no idea…) If you think things are turning out better. Better not conclude there yet. There are still trials that the two have to endure. Hehehe. It sounds like a long work for an author who updates once in a blue moon. Sorry. Anyway, thanks for marking that comment!

yuenying848: Ah, thanks! Thank you for finding the fic/chapter interesting!

HKLampShade:Yes, there are a lot of typos. It's hard to describe positions! God! (Then why the hell are you writing this kind of fic?) I don't know! *scratches head* Well, I wanted to put senpai, kouhai, ojii, -sama, some Japanese terms. I feel like eventhough there are English terminologies in their match, I much prefer their honourifics in Japanese. I don't know, it's just me. And thank you so much! Hope to read more of your comments!

Moons-Chan: Well, there are many ways on how you express your love to someone. And there are some people who can't control their emotions or there are some people who just don't know what they write. LOL. Anyway, thank you for the comment!

demon-girl-08: Yes, that last chapter is steamy. Though it's more like some pure sex theme, the idea of making love out of love is not due yet in this chapter or not so soon. I'm putting that on hold since they're not making up yet. Bad. Really bad author. Questions you have to answer yourself in the upcoming chapter. Well, some of them has been answered in this chapter but it's not done yet in this chapter. Thank you!

ANIME OWNER: Thank you for marking the comment and for the words of praises! I hope you get to read and like this new chapter and the upcoming chapters!

Dragon of Blood: Thank you. Thank you. The drama is not yet done. More tears and blood. Ok, let's stop the idea of blood spilling out. I hate pain so let's stop the blood idea. Err… Thank you very much!

animeluva2979: I'M HERE. I'M HERE. I'M SORRY. I do apologize! *author freaking out* You're welcome. And this is the new chappie. Hope you like it! Thank you.

jo107: Yes, I know. It's long. I think that's the longest chapter. I'm not sure. Wow, I'm the author and I'm the one who does not know what I'm writing down. Oh well. It's me. WHAT?! YOU'VE HAD YOUR CLASSMATES READ THIS? OH MY GOD! *faints* I can't believe this. Anyway, I'm really grateful you're sharing the fics to your classmates. It basically means you like the fic which I'm really happy about. Oh no problem about the comment. Hey, the author had a hard time updating so you're not in the fault there. And I'm still happy you found the time to review on my fanfic. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much! I really love the people who waits, reads and reviews my fics. I feel fatter, I mean flattered. Merry Christmas to you too and Happy New Year! Thank you so much!

hentai18ancilla: Yes, he has no respect to her in the previous chapter. But in fairness to his character, he's blinded by jealousy and all. I mean, there are people who just don't know how to control jealousy. Oh well. Talk about me. I do agree. People should have sex with the one they love and if they're not ready for the big responsibility, to use protection. Yeah, I know. Basically that chapter would create more pain and chaos to their relationship. It's not going to be a make up stage for them. It'll be more trouble for them. Things should be cleared out…once I update… LOL. Thank you very for such wonderful comment. I do agree with everything you've typed.

Wild Sakura Blossom: Oh, thank you. Lots of love for the one who marked the comment! Thank you so much! But I can't promise the 'update so soon'. This is just the lazy crazy author. Argh. I'm such a mess.

You guys tire me out with replies! LOL. But I enjoy doing this! Thank you very much! I'm so grateful for having you guys! Am I forgetting anyone? I hope not. If I do, remind me and I'll reply the following chappie! Thanks!

So, this is the new chappie! Enjoy!


Chapter 07: How Do You Decide In This Situation?

Tsukimori panted as he had his release inside Hino. He slowly opened his eyes and loosened his hold of her body. Her legs slowly slid off his body. He watched her naked form slumped into the floor with her hands still clutched onto the marbled sink. He had her… He had finally had her…

He closed his eyes as he clenched his fist. 'Why am I not satisfied at all?' he asked himself. 'I only had some random foreplay with her but it was all I need to last a day. But now…' he stared at her, her breathing hard as she tries to find her strength. 'I don't feel like I enjoyed it… There was no fulfillment at all,' he told himself. He let a sigh and started looking for the closet holding the robes. He walked towards the cabinet and dressed himself and also retrieved another one. He walked back towards Hino and knelt by her side.

"Hino…" he called out. She did not answer and a frown crossed his face. 'I've hurt her,' he noted as he watched her naked form. 'It's not supposed to be this way.' He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them once again. He spread the robe and wrapped it around her form. She did not budged as he held her gently in his arms and picked her up bridal style.

"Tsukimori-kun…" she called out softly.

His eyes shot wide open and stopped from moving. No words came out of his mouth as he waited for what she has to say. Moments later, no other words came out from her and he let out a silent sigh. "I brought you breakfast," he said in a low tone as he continued to walk towards the bedroom. He gently placed her at the edge of the bed and sat beside her as he retrieved the tray of food from the side table and placed it on his lap.

"I'm not hungry…" she said in a low tone, her eyes closed as she relaxed on the bed.

"You must eat," he said gently. "Please…" he pleaded, fist clenched. 'What the hell am I doing?' he asked himself. He felt confused and all. He was raging mad a while ago and he felt guilty for hurting her in such a way. He knew he should not have acted on impulse, out of being mad to what happened earlier, of what Yunoki said earlier. He should have talked to her first. That's right, he should have talked to her first. But that chance is already gone. What's done is done. This is why he thinks emotions are such a bother in the first place. They get in the way of logical reasoning, out of concentration, out of the real goal. 'Damn it!' he cursed silently. 'Not her. She does not deserve to be treated in such a way. I'm acting like the most pathetic asshole there is!'

"I'm sorry…" she said in a low tone. He startled as he felt arms wrapped around him. "I'm sorry… I'm really sorry…" she sobbed at his back, slowly soaking the robe on his body. Sadness crossed his face once again. He felt his heart breaking once again. He made her cry. He made the first girl that meant as much as the music he longed to perfect. Why did he make her cry?

'Why are you the one saying sorry? Why are you apologizing to me?' he asked but no words came out of his mouth. 'I should be the one to say sorry. You should be screaming at me. You should be blaming me. I've used you. I've not treated you right. I've…made the biggest mistake in hurting you,' he told himself, clenching his fist tightly. 'Not even my own apologies could make amends to what I did. I did such a foolish thing…'

He let her continue to cry; he let his heart break by hearing her sobs. He slowly closed his eyes as he silently wept for the girl at his back. He silently wept for the foolishness he had done. He knew more than anyone else that he's the one to be blamed for all his heartaches, no one else, not even this girl he longed to be with…

He does not deserve her…

And…


"The wind really feels good on your skin, don't you agree, Tsuchiura?" Ousaki asked with a smile on his face as he looked forward, driving on an isolated road.

Tsuchiura stared at the side, sitting on the passenger seat. His right arm placed on the side of the window as his eyes wonder on the green trees on the side of the road. He had to agree to Ousaki, the wind does feel good on the skin. Somehow, he felt the tension inside of him cool down. He closed his eyes as he remembered Hino's face a while ago. She was crying and she smiled to him, a fake smile she always gives to him, as if assuring him she's fine and there's nothing to worry. But he always gets worried about her…

And he made her sad… he's the cause of her sadness…

'Hino…' he called out longingly.

He always wanted her smile. He wants her to be happy. It's all because just being like that, she makes him smile as well. Her carefree music soothes his soul. It's not perfect but it's real… he could feel her heart towards the music she plays. And because of this, he was able to cure the wound of the past…

And he caused her pain…

"You know, I really am not knowledgeable in the field of love. I only had random crushes during my high school days but what I know is that we can never be truly happy when it felt wrong. Well, the idea of being right or wrong is subjective. It depends on each person. If you feel that what you're doing is right, then it's right; if not, then it may be wrong in the very beginning. Well, I really have no idea about what I'm talking about right now," Ousaki said with a warm smile on his face. Tsuchiura glanced towards Ousaki but did not say anything. He just stared at him with confusion. "I guess, things just happen for a reason. Things happen because we make a choice out of the different options that we have, in every moment and in every second. But we have to make sure that the choice we make is the least wrongful choice we could make and the thing that particular choice is something that we won't have any regrets in the end…I think…"

Tsuchiura gaped at Ousaki for a moment. A smile crept on his face as he looked down. "Well, it does make sense…" he said in a low tone. Ousaki glanced at him for a while and smiled at his reaction and then his eyes went back to the road and let Tsuchiura continue talking. "I guess, before anything else, I should tell her first how I feel, though I know I'll be rejected. At least, I was able to tell it out to her. And I guess, beat the guy who kept on punching me to let him realize how lucky he is… stupid asshole…" he smirked as Ousaki glanced at him with confused eyes. "Yeah, I guess that's the least wrong to do, beat the crap out of that guy…" Tsuchiura let out a hearty laugh.

"You know you're not supposed to be fighting inside the music camp…" Ousaki said, a sweat drop forming on his head. "Kanazawa-sensei might get into trouble if you guys fight during the music camp…"

Tsuchiura did not responded and went back to staring at the vast green scenery. A real smile playing on his face. 'Just wait till I get back, Tsukimori.' He let out a grin crossed his face and then glanced towards Ousaki once again. "Ousaki-senpai, can we got some noodles for breakfast and then have some cake or ice cream like that? Of course, it'll be your treat…"

"I don't mind treating you but…" Ousaki said, confused on the pianist's choice of food.

"Thanks," Tsuchiura said with a huge smile on face.

"Oh well…" Ousaki said as he concentrated on driving once again. "Well, in any case, I think you better plan out the pieces that you're going to play for the concour…"

"Well, I've already made plans on that. I would just have to continue practicing. I won't let Tsukimori get the better of me. I'll prove to him…" Tsuchiura said seriously but with a smile on his face. "…who's much better… I'm not bowing down to that so-called music genius ever…" he said in sarcasm.

Ousaki let out a sigh but the smile did not falter on his face. "Well, whatever it is. I'm glad you're getting back in track." Tsuchiura nodded and continued to watch the scenery they passed by.


"Whiskey is really good at this time…" Kanazawa said, looking for some fine drinks inside the bar. After their so-called 'walk' in the garden, Kanazawa and Hihara are currently in the bar in an almost secluded place in the kitchen. "This is not good… Where the hell are the good whiskeys?!" Kanazawa screamed, rubbing his head in frustration. "All I see are wine, tequila, tequila and TEQUILA! DAMN IT!"

"Kanazawa-sensei, I don't think that it's good to drink at this time…" Hihara said in a low tone as he stared at their music teacher while sitting on the bare ground.

"What the hell are you saying?!" Kanazawa yelled towards Hihara while holding two bottles of wine in both hands. "I need a drink! You guys getting depressed and all… Agh! I should be the one to feel depressed!" he added as he opened the bottle and had one large gulp of the wine. "Your parents and the headmaster would have my head because you looooove to practice "music" with all your heart! And I mean, you're practicing too well! Here! Grab a drink!" he said, holding a bottle of wine infront of Hihara's face. "As a punishment, drink! And don't give me the bullshit crap you're underage! Damn it!"

"A—ah…" Hihara said with his mouth open as he received the bottle from Kanazawa. Hihara opened the bottle and drank some portion of the wine and gently rub his mouth with the back of his hand.

Kanazawa sat in a stool nearby as he took another gulp of the wine. "Hell! You guys have a different meaning to practice! Talk about hormonal imbalance from you guys! Don't tell me you guys get too excited! What's up with teenagers nowadays? Are you guys that frustrated over love or is it just sex?!" he said, pounding a fist to the nearby table. "Hihara, don't tell me you're so eager to get laid! I'll kill you if you mess up with your performance! No, I won't just kill you. I'll make sure you'll never get a girl to get laid at least!"

"I won't…" Hihara answered, not looking at their music teacher as he took another drink.

"Good! Because if you do, I'll shove that bottle inside your throat!" Kanazawa said with menacing eyes.

"Are you already drunk, sensei?" Hihara asked with a smile on his face. "Have you already noticed that you drank almost three-fourths of the bottle in hand?" he said, pointing at the bottle in Kanazawa's hand which is currently being drunk dry by their music teacher.

"I don't give a damn!" Kanazawa yelled, pounding the empty bottle on the table. "I'll drink and to hell with you practicing!" he screamed once again. "Damn! Of all people! Why me?! I knew it! I knew that from the very beginning, this sounded really such a bad omen! I might even lose my license because of hormonal imbalance teenagers! This looks much a dreadful reason of getting my license of teaching than being caught having an affair with a student!"

Hihara did not answer and continued to gulp the contents of the wine at hand. How could he answer that question from Kanazawa? There's no way he could answer that. Much more than he could answer what is happening to him as well… "Sorry for causing you so much trouble, Kanayan…" he only said in a low tone.

Kanazawa became quiet and stared at Hihara. He rubbed his forehead in defeat. "You're telling me that it's something you guys did not know and have no control, huh?" he said in a mocked. "Yeah, me too…"

"Have you ever felt being lost because of love, Kanayan?" Hihara asked, not looking at Kanazawa.

Kanazawa's eyes grew large out of the question from Hihara. He had never mentioned it to anyone. He had never how he felt when the only woman he love left him. He was good for nothing that time. When she left him, he felt all of him gone away completely. All he could do is to drown himself in drinking and smoking. He was rather completely destroyed, much more like a dead person.

"Kanayan?" Hihara's voice echoed in the air as Kanazawa turned around and opened another bottle of wine.

"It's like losing the very reason of breathing," Kanazawa answered. "I felt like I had no energy to move on," he added as he stared at the contents of the wine at hand.

"I see," Hihara said as he stared at the floor. "I might just be feeling this because I really don't know. I've never felt like this before, Kanayan. I felt like my heart is smiling just by the sight of her. I felt like I could even go practicing non-stop, not minding food and all just by the thought of her. And whenever I see her sad, I feel like my heart is breaking and all. Is this what you call as love?" he asked, smiling bitterly towards the floor.

"I don't know. You're the only one who can answer that," Kanazawa said. "This question is not meant to be answered by other people. It's meant to be answered yourself. Though what I could tell you is that answering this question is one of the hardest thing to do in life."

"I guess. It felt as bad as answering Physics equation and sort of like that," Hihara let out a smile as he swirled the contents of the wine at hand.

"You bet," Kanazawa finally smiled. "I hate Physics."

"Yeah, me too," Hihara said. "Let's drink to that," he added as he raised the bottle at hand.

"You better practice seriously afterwards or I'll make sure you would be sleeping without dinner tonight," Kanazawa said with a smile as he raised the bottle of wine he's holding.

"Tell me that if you could still be standing after," Hihara said with mockery.


"Ah, Shimizu-kun, are you feeling well?" Fuyuumi finally asked as they walked out of the dining area. Fuyuumi had decided to follow Shimizu and question him regarding on his behavior earlier. She knew she's not in the position to ask but she can't help but ask anyway.

Shimizu stopped on his tracks and looked back at Fuyuumi. "I'm not sick," he said in a bored tone. "What made you say that?" he asked as he stared at her with confusion.

"Ah, it's really nothing. I was just… I thought something happened…" she answered as she stared at the floor feeling embarrassed in confronting Shimizu. 'Now, I look like a fool, questioning people's business!' he scolded herself.

"It's really nothing. I just felt like something's going on in the camp and I'm just being worried about Kaho-senpai," he answered, staring at the window.

She gaped at him as she heard his answer. "Do you think she's sick or something? Maybe, we should drop by her room and…"

"Well, if Ran-ojii said she had just overslept then there must not be something wrong with her health. It's just… I'm not really sure but it felt so annoying being left out. I overheard the senpais talking earlier about Kaho-senpai and it just bothered me that… I guess I'm just being too worried about things," he said as he let out a sigh as he closed his eyes.

Fuyuumi stared at Shimizu as he saw sadness crossed his face. She frowned and her lips curled in annoyance. "Do you like Kaho-senpai?" she suddenly asked out of the blue.

Shimizu turned around and stared at Fuyuumi who's looking down with her eyes hidden beneath her bangs. "Like? Kaho-senpai?" he repeated. "I love her music more than anything, that's for sure," he said with a smile. "Whenever I think of her, the music in me overflows as if it's engulfing me with the strong streams of a waterfall. But that is all. I don't think I'm in that situation to say 'I like her'. Sorry, did I answer your question?" he stared at her once again, only to find her cheeks reddening. He watched her fidget from where she's standing and started to walked towards her. He gently placed a hand on her forehead which caused her to look up.

"Ah…" she almost lost her balance in surprise. She was taken aback by the sudden anger and now by the warm touch of his hand on her forehead. "Shi…"

"You don't seem to have a fever," he said as he placed his other palm on his own forehead. "I thought you have one since you're face is so red," he said as he took his hand off her forehead. "I'm glad," he said with a warm smile on his face.

Fuyuumi felt heat rose up on her face as she saw a smile on Shimizu's face. 'That's the same smile he had on his face whenever he calls Kaho-senpai!' she blushed even further as she stared at his angelic face. 'And he said he's glad I'm not sick!'

"Well, you shouldn't force yourself too hard. You might get sick," he said in a worried tone. "Remember to rest well," he added as the soft warm smile stuck on his face. "Well then, I should get going now," he said as he waved a hand towards Fuyuumi.

"Keiichi-kun," she said in a low tone, looking at the floor. "Would it be okay if I call you, Keiichi-kun?" she asked in a tone that suddenly turned louder.

He stared at her, confused on why she almost screamed at her. 'I don't mind her calling me by my first name but why is she screaming at me? Was she mad at me for touching her forehead?'

Upon hearing no answer from Shimizu, she felt all her confidence lost once again. At first, she was worried on his sudden change of behavior during breakfast and then she felt angry as he seems too worried over her favorite senpai and then she felt her heart beating so fast with his sudden touch on her forehead. It's happening so fast that she still don't understand what's happening and why her heart is still beating so fast. "I'm sorry. I must be so…"

"Ah, no, I don't mean that way," he said in an instant. "I don't mind you calling me by my first name. I just thought you were mad at me for touching your forehead," he added. "I'm sorry."

"Ah, no. I wasn't mad. I'm sorry. I must've said it so loud. I didn't mean to scream at you," she said in embarrassment.

"Well then, since you're calling me by my first name, would it be okay to call you Shouko-chan?" he asked with a smile. "I think it'll be better since you're going to call me by my first name as well."

"Yes, no problem, Keiichi-kun!" she said with a warm smile. He stared at her and was surprised by her beautiful smile. He smiled once again as they continued to stand along the corridor.


"Booooo-ring…" Yunoki said as he let out a sigh as he stretched both his arms. He let out a smile crossed his face, not even minding the idea of manners and all. He had decided to seclude himself for a while and practice inside a music room, awaiting on what would happen next. He let out a sigh as he placed his flute back in place. He can't get seem to practice well today.

"What is happening to me?" he asked himself as he stared at his hands. "This should not be happening to me. I, Yunoki Azuma, should not be having this kind of moment?" he said as he walked towards the window of the practice room.

'But I really wonder what happened earlier. What happened to Kahoko? I don't understand what's going on and it's making me annoyed,' he said to himself as he gritted his teeth. He, among people, does not like the feeling of being left out, of not knowing what's happening to the people around him. Of course he has an idea that it has something to do with Hino Kahoko but not knowing the details behind to what this 'event' makes him quirk and snap. 'Snap?' he asked himself. When was the last time he snapped? Wait, did he ever snap once in his life? Showing his true side?

A smile suddenly crossed his face as he turned around and rested behind the window. Never in his life had he snap. He was too careful with his actions, even with his choices of words and reactions to the events in his life. He couldn't afford to being a Yunoki, even being the third son.

His life is boring, only meant to satisfy the surname of Yunoki, that's all. Well, that's how it was supposed to be. Things suddenly turned around as he found himself drawn to a certain girl, Hino Kahoko. He smiled as he remembered his younger sister, Miyabi, telling him not to get a girlfriend. A girlfriend that could be able to make his boring linear life more enjoyable, more livelier, more interesting to live as days pass by. He thought it wouldn't make things interesting in the first place but it's really different when a certain redhead has suddenly appeared in his life. 'Or is it much better to say 'that appeared in our lives'?' he asked himself.

He knew for a certain that she has a certain effect to all of them, to all the people involved here in the music camp. No one had admitted that to one another but he's quite sure there is. Something did changed the moment she appeared and touched their lives. It would have been better if he could be able to capture that moment, with her, only with him. A evil smirk crossed his face. Tsukimori, Tsuchiura and even Hihara had not confessed what they truly feel about Kahoko, his Kahoko. "So, annoying…" he said out loud. "So many damn rivals," he added.

Rivals not only in the concour but to the heart of the redhead violinist. If only he could be able to think of a way on how to dispatch them so he could be able to keep her all by himself. Keep her… Yes, that's right, keep her all by himself. He was thinking of giving her flowers for each day but he thinks that somehow, the other guys would've thought of that as well. Add to the idea the certain freaky fans he have that would surely ruin his plan. "Annoying," he said out loud once again. Now if only he could think of a way of dispatching those people selling flowers…

"How foolish. It's not me. That idea is unpolish. It would ruin my image," he said as he tuck some strands of hair at the back of his ear. 'All I know is I want to be with her. With her, it's not boring. With her, I could be myself and not think of anything. With her alone…'

Of course, she's the only one who knows about his true side. Only her. There has not been anyone who was able to get this close to him. Of course, he treasure his friendship with Hihara. His friendship is refreshing and it's real friendship he had offered with him, which, of course, at this very moment, had turned out to be a hindrance to his goal. Because he and Hihara had both fell for the redhead violinist from the regular department. Now, he can't get to his goal without, either tormenting his bestfriend or getting rid of him. It's annoying to even think that he would have some bad terms with Hihara because of a girl. He really does treasure his friendship with him.

Yes, Tsukimori and Tsuchiura are both in another level. He would love to torment the two. And his favorite, Tsukimori Ren. He enjoys tormenting him most. He let out a laugh as he remembers the image of Tsukimori's rage earlier. He really enjoyed what he did to Tsukimori a while ago. He did not feel any regret or remorse to the poor guy. "He really looks like a sore loser that time!" he said out loud as he grasped his stomach. This is really something to laugh about and he felt his stomach almost bursting with such pleasure.

He's not quite sure why he enjoyed doing that to him. What he only knows is that he really holds some certain hatred towards the other violinist. At first, it was his music, now, Kahoko. "Tsukimori Ren is such an annoying guy to look at!" he said as he stopped from laughing. "Now, I just need to get the details of what happened earlier to deliver the final blow to his face! Ah! He's really pissing me off!"

"I'll win this concour this time, Tsukimori, and I'll make sure to get Kahoko as well," he said as he stared at the flute resting nearby. "I'll make sure that I'll be the victor this time, Tsukimori…"
