DISCLAIMER: I don't own La Corda or any of it's characters.

(Author's Note: I'm so sorry I didn't update yesterday! It was my b-day,and I was stuck cleaning the house… : ( Anyway, here's another Chapter!)

Len looked up at Kaho with peace in his eyes.

She had just finished playing Ave Maria, and Len had stood up in front of her.

"Kahoko I need to tell you something," said Len anxiously.

"I want to tell you something too," murmured Kaho, "You go first."

"Kaho, ever since you got me out of that closet when we were second years, I have loved you. Every note you play on your violin captivates my heart, every word you speak makes my heart beat ten time faster. Kahoko, you are in my every waking thought, heck, you're even in my dreams! I love you, and I don't care if you don't love me back, just allow me to love you," said Len breathlessly.

Kaho looked at Len with widened eyes.

'Great,' thought Len, 'I have driven away the person I love the most in this world.'

Len turned to walk away, saying, "I'm sorry Kaho-san, please forgive me."

Kaho ran after Len, grabbed his arm, and turned him around.

He looked at her in shock.

"Tsukimori-kun," she said, "This is my response."

Kaho linked her arms around his neck, and brought him closer, she leaned in, and…

(A/N: Are you dying from anxiety here? Maybe she'll wake up? Should I make her do that? Or should I let them be happy? Hmmm…)

… Kissed him.

Len's eyes widened in shock yet again, and finally he closed his eyes, and tilted his head so as to deepen the kiss.

'Please, please, PLEASE don't let me be dreaming,' he thought.

'Am I imagining this,' thought Kaho.

Kaho's eyes flashed open.

"I'm sorry Tsukimori-kun. I know you didn't mean what you said earlier, and for a moment there, I believed you. But how could you love ME? I'm nothing extraordinary. I am a simple girl, with no real talent," said Kaho sadly.

Len took Kaho's chin in his hand and said, "Kahoko, I meant EVERYTHING I said earlier. You don't need to be sorry for that, because for a moment there I was in a state of complete happiness. But now, I just want to know if you feel the way I feel about you."

Kaho looked into Len's eyes, and said, "Len, you have been in my mind ever since I got you out of that closet in the second selection. You've been running through my mind, my dreams, and my music. Every time I look at a music score, I immediately think, 'Would Tsukimori-kun approve of this piece?' You have captured my heart Len, and I never want to be away from you."

Len walked up to Kaho, and closed the distance between them with another kiss.

Kaho ran her fingers through his air, and he put his hands on her waits.

"They both lay down on the grass afterwards, catching their breath.

"Kahoko, my Kahoko," said Len passionately, "I have longed to say those words for the longest time."

"Len," said Kaho, sadness tingeing her voice.

"Nani, Kahoko," he asked, "What's wrong?"

Kaho linked her hand in his, and said, "I just recalled that you'll be leaving after spring break. You're leaving to go pursue your dream."

He gently stroked Kaho's hand and said, "I will make it better, I won't leave, I'll stay here with you."

Kaho sat up immediately.

"Len," she said with tears in her eyes, "I don't want you to leave, but I love you , and nothing will ever change that. I want you to fulfill your dream, I want you to be happy."

'Shit,' thought Len, 'I had completely forgotten about my departure.'

"Kahoko," said Len, "If I leave, Iie, I won't leave. I'll stay here with you. I love you too much Kahoko, I don't want to lose you."

"Len, this is your dream. I don't want to hold you back. I love you. And I will support you each step of the way," said Kaho, smiling sadly with tears running down her cheeks.

Len wiped her tears away gently.

"My Kahoko," he murmured, "I will never leave you. If I ever do, I won't be away for longer than a couple weeks. I love you. I won't ever leave you."

Kaho set her gaze upon Len.

Her deep amber eyes entranced him as she said, "Len, enough of this sad talk, we have time before you leave. Let's make the most of it, alright?"

"Yes Kahoko. Lets," he said, standing up, and enveloping her in a hug.

"Does this mean you are my boyfriend now," asked Kaho quietly.

"Yes, I suppose so," said Len tenderly.

"I love you my Kahoko, I love you so much," said Len, intertwining his fingers in hers.

"I thought I'd never have the courage to tell you how I truly feel, and now, I know that you love me… This may just be the best day of my life," said Len.

Unbeknownst to this happy couple, Misa Hamai, her husband, and Amou were hiding behind the bushes, watching the couples' every move.

'What a scoop! I can't wait to report on this pair,' thought Amou happily.

Misa and Jun looked at each other then back at Len and Kaho, and back at each other.

Misa signaled for them to leave.

Jun looked oddly at his wife, but obeyed.

"Nani," he asked after they were out of hearing range.

Misa hamai took a deep breath, and then practically screamed, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NANI??????? OUR SON HAS A GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!!!!! A GIRLFRIEND!!!!!! OUR SON!!!! THE GUY WHO INSULTED HIS PREVIOUS VIOLIN TEACHER FOR BEING INCOMPETENT!!!! HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND!!!!!! AND NOW THEY'RE WORRIED THEY CAN'T BE TOGETHER BECAUSE WE'RE FORCING HIM TO GO ABROAD!!! THAT IS OUR FAULT!!!!!! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

As soon as Misa finished her rant, Jun reached out his hand to her.

"My dear, calm down. I myself am ecstatic about Len's improvement, but in order for him to continue being happy, we need to ensure that he won't leave her... But, how can we do that, without completely destroying his dreams?"

Back with Len
