Of How Things Ended Up This Way

Sweet, rich, lovely, entrancing, charming, thrilling, alluring, enchanting, beautiful…there are so many magnificent adjectives to describe the certain music which is overflowing within the concert room. It filled everyone's heart with overwhelming joy and excitement. The high dancing notes pierced everyone's heart enabling them to enjoy every bit of the concerto.

The piano was rich with high pitched and lovely notes swirling and twirling in the air, putting a childish and playful tune. The violin gave a smooth and entrancing melody to the song, filling the air with romance. The cello followed, a deep tune was heard, deeper than the bottoms of the sea where different creatures enjoy the music of the waves. While the other instruments like viola, flute, trumpet, clarinet rejoiced and joined in the group forming a wonderful orchestra.

In this certain room, different sorts of classical music lovers sat, listening to a once-in-a-lifetime experience of a great orchestra. Some were famous musicians, some world-wide conductors, some amateurs and some…actors and actresses.

Hino sat by her seat, focusing on the lovely performance. Her concentration about to reach its limit and she, although enjoying the show was itching to move to another seat. She was uncomfortable and every now and then shifts her weight to another part of her body. She doesn't want to act weirder than what she was doing but by sitting side by side by a person who makes her heart jump up and down and run wild was another story.

Hino Kahoko's POV

I know that spying on other people's date was bad and that I would be punished sooner or later but I didn't know that my punishment would be this early! I was also aware that Yuuki-san and Kaori-san were as hyper active and as enthusiastic as I am but I would never expect them to tag others in our plan.

On top of that, I think they are up to something besides spying on the two love birds which apparently have no idea of what we are doing right now I hope would never be aware. The thing is…

I looked at my right. His azure hair was still conspicuous in this dim light of the concerto and his amber eyes sober yet glinting of happiness with the music he was hearing. His face was smooth, emotionless. They were perfect. His mere presence makes me uncomfortable and unstable.

Sigh. This is what I was talking about! Yuuki-san already reserved seats for us and she made me sit nearest to Tsukimori-kun! All that happened a while ago was a daze but I am pretty sure that it was shocking for me.

Flashback

I froze. He was too near me…what shall I do? I can't breathe normally. I have never seated near to a guy before except my dad and brother. My breathing is very rough and I hope he won't notice it.

"U-um…" I started, nervous. "T-thanks for I-inviting me here…Natsume-kun…" I managed to deliver. He nodded with a sober expression on his face, quite different from the usual character Natsume should have. This scene was during the music festival in their school and Natsume invited her to a class concerto.

Miyuki gladly accepted since Natsume and she were friendly now and very close…but, during this period, some signs of deep affection hit Miyuki already. As the script says, she stammers a lot and can't breathe normally which is funny because this is exactly what I am feeling.

I mean, who wouldn't be if YOU are so close to a guy with handsome features, mouth-watering perfect body a girl could a ever dream of? I stared at him. Our eyes met and I quickly evaded it since I blushed. Thanks to my long fringes it wasn't so obvious.

I swallowed. This is the part where he's supposed to hold her hand.

Cold but soft hands searched for mine…and it quickly got comfort with a mutual holding-hands.

Please, let Ishida-san call cut soon!! I can't breathe anymore, I think I am going to catch a fever!! Don't let him notice that I am very uncomfortable!! I don't want to be a burden for the whole set…please just let me hear the only word I long for…

"And CUT!!" phew!! Thank you~! Today's taping is finally finished! I thought I'd die.

I quickly rushed to Yuuki-san for our plan and caught her talking to Ryoutaro. I wonder what's up…she doesn't really talk to other guys. Maybe they were beginning to develop a good relationship with each other?

"Yuuki-san…" I called her attention and she smiled me a big grin.

"Kaho-chan~! Come on, we're ready!!" she said aloud which startled me. Isn't this supposed to be a secret?

"Eh?" I asked in skepticism. Did I just miss something very important?

"The guys are waiting! They're coming!!" Kaori-san shrieked in an excited tone. WHAT?! T-t-they're coming? ?

END OF FLASHBACK

And so, yes, I am still now here, fidgeting with my heart racing nonstop with the music. ARGH! I seriously think I have an illness. What am I to do??? The beating of my heart is like a drum joining in the orchestra. Funny but that's what I think .

Come on Kahoko! Pull yourself and go with the plan!! What you'll be doing is to spy on the two, right? And the very reason why you ended up in this state. Darn, you don't need to remind me that, my own self! What the H am I doing?! Talking to myself, Oh GOD, I must really be insane!!!

I shook my head violently to creep away the thought.

"Hino-san, are you alright?" I froze. I can feel my red hair become white as snow…and my youth sapped away from me so I become an old lady. I faced Tsukimori-kun slowly, still on my shocked state.

"Y-yes…I am alright" I said carefully, smiling a nervous tone. He didn't notice did he?! Stupid Kaho!! Wahhh!! I can't act suspicious more than this!!! Now, back to the young lovers, I wonder what they're doing?

I glanced once more on the azure-haired violinist. His attention was snatched by the music now. How I wish I was just a wonderful music, to be able to capture his attention that eas- WHAT THE HECK AM I THINKING?! NOOOOO!!

Sigh. Come to think of it…this music is so soft…mmm….such soothing music.

"WHAT? WHY AM I THE ONE WHO'LL CARRY HER?!" a big deep voice screeched. So noisy…jeez. But it's very familiar…I wonder, where did I hear this before?

"Well, he has a point. He's not actually at fault why Hino-san fell into slumber right, Tsukimori-kun?" a female voice said, teasing…what? Tsukimori-kun…uhh…what's happening? Me, sleeping? Am I? and what are they all doing in the girl's room?!

"W-what? It's entirely none of my business whether she decides to sleep or not, is it?" the cool manly voice retorted, obviously annoyed. Mmmmm? Am I still dreaming? But I wonder why I don't see those images, they're only voices! How queer!!

Eh? They fell silent? Has the dream ended now? W-what?! What?! SOMEONE'S LIFTING ME OH GOD!! WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH MY BODY?! FLASH!FLASH!

What, was that a camera? Moreover, I'm being carried, hey, this isn't a dream anymore!!! I quickly opened my eyes to see Kaji-kun smiling at me and carrying me princess style with everyone sweat dropping and other people who recognized us as stars holding cameras and such with malicious and curious look on their faces.

WAIT. ME? Being carried princess-style/ bridal-style by Kaji-kun…and people taking pictures!!

"K-KAJI-KUN!!! PUT ME DOWN, I BEG YOU!! I'M ALREADY AWAKE NOW, NO NEED TO MAKE A FUSS OUT OF IT!" and, he put me down with a smile and glare from Yuuki-san. "O-okay, I'm sorry, I fell asleep!" I apologized with my face flushed already.

I walked along with others, or more like tagged along with my eyes stuck on the ground. How humiliating, sleeping under Tsukimori-kun's company, he must think I'm bored of him and won't talk to me ever again. I'm such an idiot!! Sigh…If only Lili-chan was here…then I would have a company right? Too bad he's at the hotel with Ishida-san.

I wanna go home now. I regret ever spying- wait? Where are those two now I wonder? And where are we going?!

"Ne, Ryoutaro? Where are we heading now?" I asked him since he was the closest to me and apparently the only one who offered me sympathy after what happened by staying by my side. I'm really lucky to have a best friend like him am I not?

"Oh. Carnival. It seems Kaori-san eavesdrop a little from the couple's conversation earlier and found out that they're heading this way after the concerto….and so, we're tagging along. Such an evil woman she is…" Ryoutaro replied with a distant look on his face. Probably reminiscing the moment she told them where we're heading now. I just mumbled a little 'oh' after that since I decided to shut up first.

Hmmm…I just wonder how they forced Tsukimori-kun to tag along in this thing. He doesn't seem to be the type to be interested in someone's love affairs or other businesses actually. I would even understand it if Lili tagged along then he would have more motive to come…I wonder how? Perhaps he wanted to breathe some fresh air? Or maybe those evil co-actresses of mine threatened him? Or maybe-

WHOA!

Such a huge carnival!! Yay! It kind of made me excited to try and ride them! Especially that Ferris wheel! (Did I spell it right? ^^'') I want the roller coaster too…ohhh a haunted house!!! I want to go there!! BUT, this isn't for us to enjoy…it's for us to SPY. Awww…now I really regret on proposing this spy mission. "LISTEN UP!!!" Yuuki-san's voice called out which dissolved everyone's divided chats.

She smiled brightly and her eyes sparkling excitedly which gave me a feeling of something bad happening soon; Not to everyone but just to me since she actually looked at me with those glinting eyes. Oh my dear Lord, once again, into your hands I commend my fate!! HELP ME FROM THE EVIL CO-WORKERS!!!

END OF POV

Meanwhile…the couple's place…

"Ahhh…" The angel-like cellist suddenly said in his sleepy manner which startled the shy cyan-haired girl who instantly faced him. "I thought…I saw…a…red-haired…girl."

"E-eh?" Fuyuumi replied or practically asked. "…c-could it be K-kaho-sempai and the o-others?" but before she could face her partner, he already went back to his idly daydreaming phase leaving the poor girl thinking…

"can this be worse? Shimizu-kun!!! When are we going to do that?" She mumbled.

What could be the that they were talking about? And will their relationship ever bloom if Shimizu-kun stays like this?

Back to the others…

"WHAT?!" Kahoko practically screamed at the place and knowing that she attracted attention, she covered her mouth with both her hands. "B-But, I thought we're supposed to spy?" she asked.

Yuuki-san clicked her tongue in disagreement. "Of course not, sweetie. We're here to enjoy ourselves as well you know. Us having our schedules very hectic must also come up of leisure therefore!! WE just simply can NOT let this chance slip, d'you hear that, HINO KAHOKO?" she said and left the violinist silent, nodding in shock at the sudden outbreak.

ONCE AGAIN, Hino Kahoko's POV (she seems to be my favorite, no?)

B-B-B-ut!!! You'll be leaving me again! With him! Well, it's not as though I despise being with Tsukimori-kun but I am still embarrassed about what happened a while ago!! How can you let me suffer like this??? I can now say that you are made of pure evil, Yuuki-san!!! I cried inwardly.

However, I still looked at Tsukimori-kun who seems indifferent of this place. Weird. I can only rely to you now, my lucky charm, even if you didn't work a while ago. I stared at the violin pendant Lili-chan gave me earlier. It's still glinting under the sunlight and weird as it seems, it soothes my wavering and nervous heart. Together with this is the golden keychain similar to it but with sapphire and I must only give it to someone dear to me. And it's right-

…it's not here!! What am I going to do?! NOOOOOO!! I-i…it's very important! How could I have lost something so important…what am I to do?? What will Lili-chan's mom say about it? It was very special…and slowly, tears began strolling down my eyes which was noticed instantly by Tsukimori-kun. He panicked of course, but I cannot speak because of the lump in my throat.

"Hino-san…what's the matter?" He asked worriedly as he assisted me to a nearby bench. Luckily, the others are no longer here. I just shook my head. Tsukimori-kun's face even grew to a deeper scowl as I sobbed. He fell silent. Oh no, did I offend him? I faced him earnestly but instead, he cupped my face with his both hands and gave me a worried look…mixed with pain.

I am slowly melting at his gaze…he was a perfect being…how can I hurt him like that?

"Hino-san…" he muttered. Such perfect voce…husky but warming, very soothing. "Do you hate me that much for you to not bear being with me?" he asked. I was startled! No, Tsukimori-kun, I could never hate you!! I-I …you got the wrong idea, it's not because of you that I am crying!!

I forced myself to say something. Anything is better than silence! "T-Tsukimori-kun! I-it's not what you think! I could never hate you, so please…d-don't make things harder for me!" I said, between sobs. That's right…it's even more painful now that my heart beats loudly and won't stop racing. "It's not because of you…" I continued. "You see…I lost the keychain very similar to this." I pointed at my pendant.

"It's very important…and I feel bad losing it." I hesitantly looked at his shocked face but then, rummaged his pocket and got out the very same keychain I was searching for! H-how?

"Is this the one?" He asked gently. I nodded. "Sorry, I saw it lying on the aisle at the concerto and decided to pick it. I thought someone lose it so I thought of asking everyone a while ago but ended up forgetting it. I'm sorry, Hino-san…for causing you-" and I hugged him and laughed. He was shocked-I am too- but still happy.

"Thank you!!" I gratefully said and smiled at him…though I really feel guilty for making him feel bad. Nevertheless, I decided to make us both enjoy everything. Just as payment.

"Ne, ne, Tsukimori-kun…let's go over there!!!" I asked him. He seems uncertain. "Eh? What's the matter? Could it be Tsukmori-kun…this is the first time you went to a…"

"NO!" was the urgent answer so I was right. I giggled and he seems more embarrassed. "The last time I went here was when I was a small kid and Lili was just an infant so I no longer remember…" he said shyly. I giggled once more.

"Well then, Tsukimori-kun, I'll make you remember!" I chirped and dragged him to the first event I saw without thinking and turned out, I regret my decision. Eerie aura arouse all over me the moment I entered it…it's none other than the HAUNTED HOUSE!!! WAhhh!! What am I going to do???? I am afraid of horror. ///

I tugged at Tsukimori-kun's sleeve since he was about to walk on. He faced me. "What's the matter?" he asked. I kept my eyes closed obviously drowned with embarrassment. "you're afraid?" NO! I mean yes, but…I was the one who asked him to go in here!

"OF COURSE NOT!" I lied. And I went on forward but ended up screaming many times. White ladies, monsters, corpses, bloody dolls, I hate them all!! And when I was in the verge of tears, I saw a hand…not the scary one but Tsukimori-kun's. He was probably annoyed of my noise now. *sniff*

"You can hold on me…if you were scared you should have told me…I won't mind" he said, as he looks aways. I hesitantly got his hand and hugged it tightly as a slimy thing touched my legs and of course, I screamed. Wahhh, I'm sorry Tsukimori-kun!!! I SWEAR I'M NEVER GOING TO ENTER ANY HAUNTED HOUSES ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And so…I managed to still live anyway. But, if there's one thing good that happened in that haunted house is that I finally knew what I feel. We went a lot more after that…roller coaster, spinning cups, shooting booths –I ended up having Tsukimori-kun give me with cuddly bunny, teehee- and now in the Ferris wheel with him. It was kind of awkward though. Ha-ha. So silent. I clutched the bunny tighter. His gaze was far off and his azure hair was glinting with the moonbeam since it's night now. I got the keychain that was just returned to me and held it tightly.

"Nee-chan, this is another gift from mama, she said it is the partner of the necklace and she said that give it only to someone very dear to you."

Very dear to me huh…well, Lili-chan, it seems I found that someone who's dear to me already…and I'm sure of it. I'll give this to him now… I looked at the keychain thoughtfully.

"Ne, Tsukimori-kun," I called out and smiled at him. He glanced at me. "You know…when we were just starting this movie, Lili-chan gave me this pendant…it was very pretty and I took a fancy of it and treasured it very much, together with its pair, this keychain." I said and swallowed. I guess I'm really going to do it after all?

"That's why, I was so sad when I discovered that I had lost it…and I was so delighted when you saw it and gave it back to me. This day was very meaningful, don't you think so, Tsukimori-kun?" I said in a smile. He nodded with a gentle smile that was so rare to see. "Lili-chan told me that I must only give this to someone very dear to me…so now," I swallowed once more. "I'm going to return this to you, Tsukimori-kun."

He seems shocked. And I flushed. But I can't go back now. I got his cold hand and opened it, securing the keychain tightly on it. "Tonight, I discovered something…very dearly. Tsukimori-kun…I LIKE YOU! So please keep this keychain for me."

No sooner than I said those words, I was already wrapped, secured in his embrace, so warm…is this a dream? If it is, do not ever let me wake up. "Kahoko…I've always loved you…" he mumbled and without me knowing it, his lips already crashed to mine that was so sweet and warm. I shall never forget this night…I like you, Tsukimori-kun.

And on that night, our love blossomed with a kiss under the moonlight guiding our way. But that isn't all…there's more! Let's not forget about Fuyuumi-san and Shimizu!

After that, we were found out by them, however…

"Fuyuumi-chan! We didn't mean to spy on you but we really caught something really interesting!!!" What could it be? "We heard you mumble 'Shimizu-kun!!! When are we going to do that?' what does that mean huh?" Kaori-san asked, her words reeking of malice.

Fuyuumi-chan brightened up. "Oh, That! I-Ishida-san asked us t-to go on the g-g-grocery for everyone…but we e-ended up enjoying o-ourselves and forgetting to buy o-our food. We're r-really sorry!!" and she bowed, leaving everyone flabbergasted. Including me.

GROCERY?! ALL THIS JUST FOR THAT?!

"You're kidding us!!!" Yuuki-san said, and Yunoki-san chuckled.

"They're not, Yuuki-san. I heard Ishida-san tell them that" Yunoki-san said in his chuckles.

"Ehhh? Yunoki, then why didn't you tell us???" Hihara-sempai asked while the others agreeing.

"Because I was curious on how things would end up, of course!" he chuckled then…this man…pure evil! I heard Etou-kun even grumble and Kaji-kun sweat drop. Sigh….really, we shouldn't make fuss of something simple. That's what you must learn, Kahoko!

Of How things ended up this way, I don't know. But one thing's for sure, it ended up well. I smiled at Tsukimori-kun oh, no, Len-kun as he smiled at me gently, enough to melt me in his arms.

I LIKE YOU~!

And so…there it is! :)) sorry for fooling everyone of FUYUSHIMI. It turned out cutely didn't it? Sorry for not updating for ages but here you go, a sweet chappie! I'll try to catch up for this summer okay? And I promise, I'll give a little twist to it, so watch out!

Please review ^^

JA~
