Disclaimer: See the previous chapters…
A/N: (Currently listening to Kin-iro no Koruda ensembles 2 Main Theme Gassou [Sweet Puppy) Yay! Already chapter 7!! Whoa!! It's been so long…anyway, I kinda feel weird on the previous scene, where Len hugged Kahoko, I thought (Was he really sleeping???), don't you guys feel the same? Because the scene is kinda weird…really…Anyway, in this chapter I'll try to put a romantic scene and I don't think it's worth enough to read, but just read it kay? Thank you for all reviewers, I really appreciate your praises, (Actually I almost lost my spirit ;P). And to my sister…what kind of review it is??? So-So? There's no so-so! You can only choose between lame and pretty good!!!!! O Okay, I'll start the chapter now (sighing). Oh, one thing before I start, there will be so many OOC, so I'm sorry id it's not satisfy you. About Kaji…I never saw him on manga or game, just heard from people, so I don't know his personality and it would be OOC I think.
7th Corda: You're mine, Kaho
Recap:
"Len-kun!
Can you hear me?!" She called as she wiped away his
perspiration. "Wait here! I'll call someone!" She said as
tried to get up. But then, Len tightened his embrace and kept her in
his arms. "What are you doing?! Lemme go!" Kahoko blushed
as she struggled, but Len didn't release her. "...Don't..."
He whispered. "Don't?! Do you know what situation you're in??"
Kahoko yelled out. Len gripped her tighter, "I'll be fine...just
stay here..." Kahoko stared at him then rubbed her temple as she
sighed. She gave up and did nothing but stayed with him. Kahoko took
a glance at Len, she blushed when she realized her face was an inch
with Len's. Kahoko shook her head then, her face reddened when she
heard him mumbled "Kaho..." softly, she felt like whatever
strength she had leaving her body the moment he said her name.
Story start.
The sun began to set, and the class was over. All students walked out the school happily. Today, Kazuki and Ryo decided not to join Len's car, so they walked home by feet. Kazuki walked happily, humming as he waited for his brother who was still gazing at the school building. "Ryo…what's up?" He asked as he shook his hand in front of his brother's face. Ryo snapped back and looked at his brother, "Ah, oh…na-nanda mo nai…" He answered as he rubbed his head. Kazuki pouted, "You don't look like you 're okay, Ryo."
Ryo sighed, "Guess I'm just anxious…that's nothing…" Ryo said as he walked away. Then, Kazuki joined him.
-- Meanwhile in the Practice Room --
The sleeping Len kept his arms around the sleeping Kahoko. Their things were scattered around them. It'd passed for about 3 hours when the guy woke up. "…" He kept staring for about 10 minutes at the person who fell asleep in his arms. Why is Hino here? He asked mentally as he blushed.
He looked at his watch…it'd already 18.00. He sighed as he released her and put her properly as he began to gather his and her things. After that, he walked towards the girl with the things in his bag and carried her bridal style. He headed to his car, opened the door and put her on the passenger seat before seating down on the driver's seat.
-- In the Tokuto's House ---
Azuma, Kazuki and Keiichi stared at Ryo. He'd been keeping walked back and forth in anxious mode. He would walk for 5 minutes, then look at the clock and resume pacing around.
Their eldest brother was the first to ask, "What's up Ryo, something bothering you?" Azuma asked.
"Yeah. You're like a Mommy who is waiting for her daughter to come home from her first date!!" Aoi laughed.
Ryo glared at Aoi as Aoi shut his mouth. Then Ryo sat on the couch, "Len hasn't come home yet…and it's already 6 pm…" He sighed deeply.
His siblings stared at him intently, "What?" he asked in tones of annoyance.
"Did you hit your head somewhere?" Aoi asked.
"What?" Ryo frowned.
Azuma smiled as he drank his tea, "We mean...It's just weird to see you worry about Len." Ryo didn't say anything and looked away.
"Don't worry. Even though he's no sportsman, but he's not that weak." Kazuki added.
"No. It's not what I'm worried about…" Ryo replied.
Azuma turned his attention to him, "So…" Azuma's words cut by a shout.
"Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kazuki yelled out loud as his siblings covered their ears.
"What's up Kazuki?" Azuma asked.
"Kazuki-niisan…are you intending to make us deaf?" Aoi asked sarcastically.
Kazuki began to panic, "A-Azuma, serious! It's serious!"
"Calm down, Kazuki… Say it slowly, okay?" Azuma comforted.
Kazuki exhaled and inhaled his breath and then he continued, "I forgot my trumpet in school!" He cried.
"Huh?" Ryo frowned.
"Then, you can retrieve it tomorrow…that…" Again, Kazuki cut Azuma off.
"No, no! It's very important! I must take it now! I'll go now, save the dinner for me, 'kay?!!" Kazuki shouted as he ran away. Ryo and Azuma looked at the running Kazuki as they sweatdropped. Ryo rubbed his head and sighed as he headed to kitchen…remembering to save the meal for Kazuki-niisan.
-- BACK TO LEN AND KAHOKO --
Len kept staring at the sleeping Kahoko. He'd fired up the car's engine but didn't feel like running it. He wanted to take her home and yet he didn't want to. He sighed deeply What am I thinking? I must bring her to her home… He was in deep thought when Kahoko's mumbling got his attention. He looked at the sleeping Kahoko. After a few minutes, his hand touched Kahoko's cheek and began to run along her hair. He kept playing with her hair for a while as he wondered about his feelings, keeping his eyes on Kahoko. After a few minutes of observing her, he stopped playing with her hair and leaned forward, closing his eyes then he pressed his lips against hers (AMF19930: Okay, Len is completely OOC, sry).
In a place not so far from the car, a green-haired guy was humming happily with a trumpet case in his hand. He was walking towards his home, but then stopped when he noticed there was still a car in the school. Wondering whose it was, he took a step closer, and then he gasped when he saw the owner and his girlfriend were kissing. He almost fainted there and then since his eyes were too innocent, but then his eyes widened instead. He was struck speechless when he recognized the owner -who had blue hair - and the owner's girlfriend who had red. Besides, the car seemed familiar to him, there was no doubt about it. The guy looked down sadly then turned on his heel, he didn't care where his feet would lead him, he just wanted to go away from the place now. And so, rain started to fall from the sky (AMF19930: Oww, poor Hihara-senpai, I kinda felt guilty to Hihara-kun when I wrote this part. Gomen Nasai to his fans!!!!!!!)
Meanwhile…Len was enjoying his time (AMF19930: Ah, some closet bastard he is) when suddenly he felt Kahoko's fingers began to move. He was startled and immediately pulled away, and then sighed in relief when he found she still fell asleep. Then, his hand ran through her hair again, "You're mine, Kaho," he stated, smiling. He kept playing with her hair until he heard Kahoko mumbling once more. He retracted his hand and drove off the car. FF Len didn't think the rain would become this heavy, he sighed as he looked at the watch, it was already 8 pm…maybe they should grab something to eat before he took her home. Is it raining? Kahoko opened her eyes slowly when she heard the sound of the rain. Her eyes flew open when she realized she wasn't in a room. Where am I?
"I'm glad you're awake, I was about to wake you up." Kahoko looked at the person who had spoken and blushed when she realized who it was. The guy, who had been in her dream just now, was driving the car. Wait! Since when Len-kun can do something beside play violin? Kahoko shook her head because of her stupid mind, Of course he can…I shouldn't say something like that...
"It's already 8 pm. Let's get something to eat." Len said to her.
"U-uhm…okay, but aren't you sick?" She asked in concern.
"The sleep made me better, I think." Len shrugged. Then he pulled the car over. Len opened the door for her as she got out confusedly. It made her more confused when Len opened the restaurant's door and pulled a chair up for her. Is his fever getting worse? Kahoko stared at Len, or maybe he's trying to be nice?
"What do you want, Kaho?" Kahoko was lost in her own ruminations and didn't notice what just that he had just addressed her with her pet name.
"Ah…uhm…anything would be fine." She replied.
"Alright. 2 grilled-beef and 2 colas." Len ordered. Kahoko looked at the waitress who was blushing. Oh, how Kahoko knew the Tokutos' pheromone well. Come to think about it, maybe it's DNA? Because it had not been hard for their parents to 'steal the students' hearts away' when they visited their school on the 2nd selection.
"What is it?" Len's question snapped Kahoko back from her thoughts again.
"Huh? Oh…it's nothing…" Kahoko replied as she saw the waiter bring them their meals. Then, she noticed he'd just call her Kaho, if she heard it correctly.
"W-Wait, Len-kun. What did you just call me?"
"Kaho. Why? Am I not allowed to?"
"Ah…uhm…that's fine." Kahoko shrugged, didn't know what to say, and continued to eat.
They ate the meals quietly. Simply, because being the Tokuto Len who didn't have any social skills, he didn't know how to start a conversation and Kahoko was too nervous to bother him. So both of them kept their mouths shut until they finished. After that they headed to Len's car and he took her home.
Meanwhile…Kazuki kept walking but his mind blanked. He didn't know why, he'd known that his twin brothers like the girl, so why he was so shocked with that scene? I didn't have a feeling for her! Or maybe I did? He kept asking himself.
"Let me go, you bastard!" He started when he heard someone was yelling. There he saw a man who was flirting with a girl. The guy kept forcing himself onto her although it seemed that she had refused him. Kazuki ran towards the scene immediately when he saw it was getting worse. He grabbed hold of the guy's hand and glared at the guy (AMF19930: Oww, since when he can glare?), "She did say to let her go, didn't she?", said guy glared at Kazuki "Who are you?!"
"No one."
Kazuki answered smiley. The guy became angry and was about to punch
him, but then he grabbed his hand and did Ippon Seoi (Some technique
from Judo). "FYI, I and my brothers had received black ban from
some kind of self-defense. Wanna try the other?" Kazuki stated
smiley. The guy looked at him, frightened, before running away.
Kazuki sighed as he turned to the girl. "Daijoubu desu ka?"
He asked but then he shocked when he recognized she was the girl he'd
bumped into yesterday. "Ah, you! Whoa, I kept searching for you
this morning!" Kazuki yelled excitedly, but the girl still kept
an icy silence. Kazuki switched to anxious mode, "Di-did you
still mad about yesterday? I'm really sorry!! I-I didn't mean
to…really!" Kazuki apologized but the girl just walked away.
Kazuki grabbed her shoulder, trying to get her attention,
"Ano…how about I treat you to some…" before Kazuki
could finish his sentence, the girl skimmed his hand off. "Never
touch me, you disgusting..." She stated in a disgusted tone,
then walked away, leaving Kazuki dumbfounded. 'Disgusting' kept
running in his mind.
-- In the Tokutos' House ---
Len opened the door as he sighed deeply. Then, he realized Ryotaro stood in front of the door in Mama-is-angry mode. He glared at him, but with a confused expression. "Where were you?" Ryo asked.
"None of your business. Why do you care anyway?" Len replied coolly.
Ryo gritted his teeth, "Listen! You're sick and come home late, how could I not care?!" Ryo yelled angrily (AMF: Yay! Twin fluff! LOL)
"Right, right. Mama Ryo was so worred about you…" Aoi added.
"Aoi, shut up!" Ryo shouted.
Aoi obeyed. "So, what made you return so late?" Ryo asked again.
"I took Kaho home." Len answered simply.
"Kaho? Hino Kahoko?"
"Who else?"
"Eh??? Kaho-chan??? What were you doing with her???" Aoi asked curiously.
"Nothing." was the short reply from Len.
"Since when did you start calling her Kaho?" Len and Aoi stared at Ryo.
"Why do you care anyway?" Len asked back.
"…" Ryo didn't reply.
"Well then, I won't answer that." Len stated.
When, he was about to head to his room, he bumped into his big brother.
"Welcome home, Len." Azuma greeted, smilingly.
Len just nodded. "So where were you?" his brother continued.
"School." He answered simply.
Azuma looked surprised, "Really? Did you meet Kazuki?"
"Nii-san? No, why?"
"Eh? It's odd. He's gone to school to take his trumpet. He should have met you if he really went to school." Aoi added.
"That's odd. I was at the school gate for about an hour but I didn't see any figure like nii-san…" Len said in thinking pose.
"An hour? What were you doing in there?" Len's siblings stared at him.
"None of your business." Len replied.
Just when Len was heading to his room, the door opened and Kazuki appeared.
"There you are, Kazuki. Have you got your trumpet back?" Azuma asked kindly.
"Ah, uhm…yeah…" Kazuki replied in unhappy tone.
"What's up?"
"Nothing." Kazuki replied.
Len stared at him then sighed, their Kazuki-niisan never been good on lying, especially when he'd got detected by the Machine Lie Detector no.4 in Tokuto family. But then he shrugged it off, "Nii-san." He called.
Kazuki looked shocked at Len, "Y-Yeah?"
Len frowned at him then continued, "You said you have something to tell to Ryo and I, didn't you? What is it?"
They looked confusedly at Len. "That thing that made the 'accident', if you remember…" Len said in bored tone.
"O-Oh, yeah…I just want to tell you, that the headmaster wants us to perform as a quartet in the next festival." Kazuki explained as the twins' eyes widened and Keiichi snapped out of his own world.
"Oh, now that you mention performing. I want to ask why Kaho-chan was in here when I came?" Aoi asked.
"Oh, they have to perform together in their music exam." Kazuki replied.
"Exam? Since when did Music Ed and General Ed take exams together?" Aoi asked at them as Kazuki's eyes widened, but Azuma just smiled.
"It's no use to lie, Len, Ryo. Why don't you tell Kazuki that you and Hino-san have to perform as a trio in the next festival, too?"
"Eh, really??? They I'll bring the VCR!!!" Kazuki yelled excitedly.
"That's why we didn't want to tell you." Ryo sighed as he shook his head and Len settled for an expression of mild annoyance.
Chapter 7 end.
A/N: Okay, so finally it finished. Hwaa!! It took a few days longer than the other to finish this. I was stuck on the kissing scene and yet I can't make it a good one. So, that's it, another LenxKaho fluff and KazukixOC. Even I was the one who made the Character, but I haven't found a good name for her. Anyone had idea? I Anyway, I do realize Kazuki is too OOC, but please understand it. I had to make it like that so that the story can flow. Thank you if you understand. Hope I'm able to make the next chapter and not stuck in it. Okay, then see ya and please review.
