jychan: Hello everyone! I missed you all! And here goes nothing! I don't own Ouran High School Host Club, but I do own Akiko! The Tenth Chapter to the Sequel of Cappuccino, Iced Coffee, here goes nothing!
10. The Ambition of Akiko, perhaps?
"The sky's full of stars tonight..."
I turned to my companion and looked towards the sky as well,
"Nn. I must agree."
Currently, I, Namikawa Akiko, is outside at the beach with my companion, Ootori Kyouya.
Why, you might ask?
The Shadow King went to my room earlier and demanded that I go with him or he would raise Haruhi's debt, wherein Haruhi, who came as well, pleaded to go with him with her pleadings, which were bad for the heart.
"Seriously, why are we here outside? I mean, it's too tiring to go out here with you..."
I told him as he rolled his eyes and replied,
"That's because I have to collect some data, with this type of scenery, because that is what Tamaki demanded for the next theme for the Host Club."
"And why do I have to go with you?"
"That's because I wanted to bother you so much that I did not walk out of my way to get you."
Talk about irony.
"Geesh. Stop the irony. Get to the point, Kyouya."
"You're no fun, Akiko."
"Good. Because there's no reason already for making you very interested with me."
"Too bad, I never get bored with you."
He replied with a smirk,
"I hate you."
"You don't hate me."
"Oh yes, I do."
"But despite you hating me, you still love me."
"How dare you."
"Well, you didn't deny it."
I looked at him as I glared at his smirk,
"Well, I do now."
"So, a while ago, you did love me?"
"I don't know with you!"
"Well, I don't either, but I have a feeling that you still love me."
"Well, I don't."
"You do. Because if you did not, then why go out here with me?"
"It's because you threatened to raise Haruhi's debt!"
"But I can't do that. Yes, I can minus some of her debt, but I can't raise it without any proper and legal reason."
"So, you were fooling us?"
"I don't know. I'm quite sure that probably Haruhi knows that already."
"So, I was the one being played then? How could you!"
"It's your fault, Akiko."
"Scre-eh?"
I turned around as I heard a familiar tune,
"Can't talk back no-"
"Shhh. I'm trying to listen."
I cut him as he raised an eyebrow,
This tune.
"Fur Elise?"
I heard him recognize the tune as I nodded,
"I played this once on a recital. I had to play the piece despite still being in Grade 1 with Piano. That's a Grade 3 piece, you know."
"So, you played the unsimplified version, then?"
"Yep. I wonder who's trying to play the said piece at this time."
I replied as I nodded,
"Let's try to find out who's playing the piece."
He said as he grabbed my hand,
"Wait, weren't you supposed to collect data?"
"I'm finished."
He replied with a hint of sarcasm.
Geesh. So, he was lying? And he brought me out here for nothing?
What a guy.
"Right..."
I replied as we ran towards the place where the tune came from.
It came from a small cabin.
It's a mystery why there was a piano in a cabin, though.
Normal POV
Kyouya and Akiko went inside the cabin, hoping to see who was playing the said piece or rather, 'Fur Elise', at this time. And this time, they saw a man in his 40's, playing the said piece on a grand piano.
It did not take long enough until the piece ended, wherein the man noticed that he was not, indeed alone inside the cabin.
"Eto, I'm sorry for not knocking in. I did not want you to be interrupted with your playing, so we just came in, though."
Akiko said as the man looked at Akiko and Kyouya,
"Is that so? It's OK. It's OK. But, can I ask why the two are you here?"
"We were rather, curious on finding out who was playing Fur Elise at this time."
Akiko replied as Kyouya shot a glance at Akiko with an eyebrow raised,
"Is that so? May I ask who the two of you are?"
"Namikawa Akiko. Pleased to be your acquaintance, sir."
Akiko said as she gave a smile at the person while Kyouya said,
"Ootori Kyouya. Nice to meet you."
"Ah. Is that so? You can call me, um... Aki. Yes. Aki."
"Aki-san, then. Aki-san, why were you playing Fur Elise at this time? Is it for your lover perhaps? I heard Beethoven made this piece for a fiancee. "
Akiko asked as 'Aki' looked at Akiko with a sheer interest,
"It's not for a lover. You can call her a sister."
"A sister? That's a rather interesting view."
"Is that so, Namikawa-chan? So, is this guy your boyfriend, perhaps?"
"He's not m-"
"Yes, I am."
Kyouya cut off Akiko as Akiko's eyes widened on his proclamation,
"Is that so? Well, I wish the best for the two of you, though. Tell me, Namikawa-chan, do you play any instrument? To know such a thing about why Beethoven made 'Fur Elise' , then you must be interested with Music."
"Yes, I am. In fact, I play the violin and piano."
"Is that so? Are you going to be a violinist or a pianist in the future, perhaps?"
"I'm not sure. But it depends."
"Quite an answer. But I don't think there should be something holding you back, would there be something?"
"Iee. There's none."
Instead of feeling fine, Akiko was a bit uneasy with the man's question.
'Why does it seem that he knows what's going on? Do I know him or something?'
She thought as the man replied,
"I see."
"Akiko, it seems it's rather late already. Aki-san, we'll be going already, is that fine?"
Kyouya said as the two looked at the bespectacled boy,
"It seems. It was nice meeting the two of you."
"As well as you, Aki-san."
Akiko said as the two bowed and left the cabin,
"So, would being a pianist or violinist be your ambition now, Akiko?"
Akiko bit her lip upon Kyouya's question towards her,
"I-I don't know, Kyouya. I don't know. I rather feel uneasy whenever I think about my future."
Akiko replied while bracing herself as Kyouya took off his sweater, giving it to Akiko,
"Here, wear it. It's cold here."
"Arigato Kyouya. But how about you?"
"I'm still wearing a polo shirt. Aren't I?"
He replied as Akiko sighed and wore the sweater, the megane just gave her.
jychan: And that was it! I updated very soon as possible. And this was the 'soonest' I can update. Anyways, I wonder who this 'Aki-san' is... He seems so mysterious... Oh well... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for the reviews from: Katherine-The-Crowned, Serrina, SilentWitch and freyasakura!
Katherine-The-Crowned: Really? I hope you do stick up until the ending of Iced Coffee!!! Really? You like MotokoXHikaru? That's great, I guess...I was thinking that people might not like their pairing... And yes, thanks for the 'good luck' for me towards Math... Oh well, our classes start on the second week of June... Oh no... *faints*
Serrina: He's a shadow king. He can control anything... LOL... Really? No OOCNESS? I was thinking that they were becoming OOC.... I was afraid... Here's the latest chapter!!!
SilentWitch: So, on June 3??? That's too bad... I hope you'll be able to overcome the exams... I know you can do it! You can do it!!! Fuhahahaha! LOL... Hmmm... In my opinion, I want Kyouya not to realize his love towards the girl yet... I want him to realize it a bit later on the story, or perhaps, you won't reveal at all, but you can just reveal that he felt some budge on his heart or something... Oh well, that depends on how you want it... Just a simple comment of mine. No need to mind it!!! It's your story, girl! Either way, I'll still like it!!!
freyasakura: Waaa!!! I missed you!!! It took you a long time, you know! I was kinda waiting for you to reveal yourself... And I also wanted your comments... I'm getting a bit tensed with writing Iced Coffee, because it seems that Cappuccino became a success, so I was worried of what might happen in Iced Coffee!!! Ohh... FMA? I love Roy Mustang... Hahaha... With Code Geass: Kalulu!!! Pardon if you're a fan of LelouchXCC... 07-Ghost? Haven't read that yet... I'll try on it... I don't think that I could kill you.. Because if I do, no one might review anymore and I won't get anymore chocolates... And yum! The chocolate's tastes good! I wished it was a dark chocolate... But it's OK.. As long as it's chocolate!!! Really? You like MotokoXHikaru? That's great then... A bit of Akiya here... oh, it's Ok with being a spaz... Ja!
