Chapter 21.

Kahoko had run from Yunoki the moment the duet was drawing its last breath.

She heard him chuckle softly, seeing her flee as princess from the prince before letting show, something he mustn't see.

Her cheeks were burning hot with the strange self consciousness she always felt in his presence.

She walked into the living room, out through the kitchen and straight up the stairs.

She gasped loudly thinking; Gah! Kaji-kun!

Kaji was walking towards her, not even bothering to smile at her as he usually would.

He looked at her as if was angry, yet he looked somewhat sad.

He stopped right in front of her then he grabbed both her wrist, his hands resting against the back of her hands, and stated pacing backwards while dragging her along.

His grasp around her wrists was utterly strong and it didn't seem like Kaji was being quite himself.

His turquoise eyes stared at her in greed, inviting her to follow him where ever he decided to take her.

E-eh K-Kaji-kun?, Kahoko mimicked at him.

Her merely narrowed his eyes, his mouth twitching strangely.

She was taken down the white hallway for the second time.

When ever she glanced around the hallway, just to not get too self conscious around Kaji, he pulled her wrists kinda hard.

He wanted her attention to be locked upon him and on nothing or no one else, it seemed.

Kahoko felt herself getting pulled a couple of times because she wasn't quite comfortable about staring just at him, his gazing at her became too real.

Her cheeks were really, really hot … and the worst part she could thing of was that Kaji could very well see it.

Kaji was so tall, now that he forced her to looked at him again she had the time to study it some more.

He pulled her closer towards him as he opened a door, dragged in the room, and closed the door, placed Kahoko's back up against it ... and locked it!

It was a large bathroom … what was going through his head at the moment?

Kahoko stood close up against Kaji, his body inches from hers.

He held her hands down between them both, clenching them tightly as he gazed down at her with nervous eyes.

His breathing was loud and gasping.

Kahoko bend her head downwards, staring at his slender hands that were forcefully holding onto hers.

They seemed to be trembling.

K-Kaji-kun are you okay? She thought as she lifted her head as to try to read his expression.

His eyes were narrowed and his lips twitching and then pressed tightly together as he suddenly closed his arms around her and pressed her tight up against his slender chest.

Kahoko nearly dropped her bag with her violin out of surprise.

Kaji was always very doubting when ever having to touch her, even if it was merely shaking hands.

She didn't know why but it felt really awkward to have such a guy hug her so tight and long.

Kahoko could feel his heart, it was pounding wildly in his chest.

He was so warm.

She blushed as he suddenly released her and knelt down on both of his knees, bending his head downwards, pressing his forehead lightly against the back of her hands.

"H-Hino-san … I … need to hear you violin." Kaji muttered in a begging voice.

Kahoko stared at him before her, he looked somewhat pathetic … but why?

Just because he wanted to hear a violin?

Her violin?

Kahoko nodded slowly.

Kaji didn't lift his head so of course he didn't see it.

Her muttered more demandingly once more; Hino-san, your violin."

Kahoko nodded wildly pulling her hand away from him.

Kaji looked at her this time as he rose from the floor just as Kahoko swung herself away from Kaji, tugging her dear violin safely into her.

She smiled hesitant at him, her eyes flickering between him and the lock.

She played the noted tender and calm.

Kaji watched her in awe as he picked up his glowing viola lying in a small box beside the door.

He elegantly swayed his gentle low tunes in between Kahoko soft ones, dancing around Kahoko's heart.

Kahoko glanced secretly at Kaji, his eyes were closed as if he was dreaming, his bright smile smiling in her direction, his cheeks pale red.

Kahoko looked at the handsome princely guy as her heart was suddenly embraced with an unknown warmth.
