Chapter 5 The Writer of the Song
Nene's POV
The Next Day
I was walking past the park on my way home from school.
As I did this, I heard a familiar voice…singing a familiar song.
"Wait a minute", I started. "Isn't that…"
With that, I walked closer to where the voice was coming from.
When I did…I saw Ichika, and she was singing.
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
And fate is pullin' you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?
As I listened to Ichika sing, I realized something.
"Wait a minute", I started. "Isn't that…Tsukasa's song?"
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight
With that, Ichika was done singing, and I walked up to her.
"Hoshino-San", I started, which resulted in her jumping back in shock.
"Oh", she started. "Its you, Kusanagi-San. Hello."
"Hello, Hoshino-San", I greeted, before changing the subject. "That song, did you write it?"
"Ah…", Ichika started. "Yeah. I did write it."
"I see", I started. "Yesterday, we watched Tsukasa perform that very same song."
"You…you what", Ichika exclaimed.
"Yes", I replied. "I didn't know you two wrote a song together."
"Oh", Ichika started nervously. "Well…"
"Rui wants to use the song in our next show", I revealed.
"He does", Ichika exclaimed.
"Yes", I replied. "Rui wants our next show to be based around the theme of 'a love that cannot be', and he thinks that song fits the theme perfectly."
"A love that cannot be", Ichika repeated.
"Tsukasa said he was going to ask the person who wrote the song about using it in our show", I revealed. "I wonder why he didn't tell us that it was you?"
"Well…", Ichika started. "He was probably just respecting my privacy. After all, I get embarrassed just showing my lyrics to my bandmates. So he must've known that I'd be even more nervous showing my lyrics to a completely different group."
"Don't be nervous", I started. "The song is great! Who knew you and Tsukasa could make such a good song together?"
"Yeah…", Ichika trailed off.
"So", I started. "Can we use your song in our next show?"
After I asked this, Ichika thought for a moment.
Then, she sighed before giving me her answer.
"Of course you can use the song in your show."
"Really", I asked.
"Yes", Ichika replied. "You guys have helped me out a lot, so I want to do something to return the favor."
