Chapter 7 – The Clouds Dispersed…
"Yes…" Hisae replied weakly at Ayako's question. "I am…"
Kogure pursed his lips and his brows tightened as his frown deepened after hearing her reply.
Hisae…So this is what you have been hiding… He sighed mentally.
The sound of screeching tires broke the sudden silence caused by the clarification of her identity. The heavy slamming of a car door and hurried, heavy footsteps could be heard soon after. All eyes turned to the sounds and saw two middle aged men coming their way.
"Papa!" Hisae and Alexis or Eien exclaimed in surprise at their father, Etienne De Laquerre's sudden appearance.
Etienne's purple eyes widened at the sight of his children. He quickly hugged Hisae and gasped, "I've been so worried Nicole! Don't you dare do that to Papa again, you hear?"
"I'm sorry Papa." Hisae hugged her father back as stings of tears dropped from her eyes. "But I had to do it Papa…I had to…"
"Shh… It's all right. As long as you're ok, everything is all right." Etienne hushed.
The father-daughter pair separated after a short hug and Etienne wiped his daughter's tears away gently. "Let Papa handle this, ok?"
Nicole nodded.
"Papa, I…" Eien began but stopped when his father held up a hand gesturing him to say no more. He acknowledged and stopped speaking.
Nagisa watched her husband's sudden appearance and his interactions with their children in total astonishment. How did Etienne know where Nicole is? Then realization struck her. She shot a glare at the man who came with Etienne, Clovis.
"You told Etienne, Clovis! How can you betray my trust in you!?" Anger threatening to break Nagisa's cool façade.
Clovis Steffeaux shrugged haphazardly. "Etienne is my friend and I do think that a father has the right to know where his missing daughter is when there is knowledge of it."
Nagisa clenched her fists and teeth as she continued to glare at Clovis.
The thunder rolled and a flash of lightning broke the dim skies as the first drop of rain blessed the dried earth. The second bell signaling the start of the second semester classes also rang. However, students and teachers witnessing the scene unfolding before them stood idle. No one moved as he or she watched.
A coughing sound was heard amidst the eerie silence. The light drizzle was slowly wetting the bystanders and those central to the row.
"Ahem. If I may interrupt, would you all like to come in and shelter yourselves from the rain?" A firm but gentle voice spoke. It was Shohoku's headmaster, Sakiyurai Isoshi. "Also, classes have started, so can all students please return to the classes immediately?"
This broke the spell that enveloped everyone. The students and teachers filed into the school grounds hurriedly as they ran into the classes. After all were gone, only the De Laquerre family, Clovis Steffeaux, Akahito, Mitsui, Kogure, Ying and Sakiyurai remained.
"Now if all of you would like to follow me." Sakiyurai said as he gestured for everyone still present to follow him.
o o o o o
The formal yet warm kouchoushitsu were now filled by a number of people. The principal himself was seated in his official seat behind his oak desk while Nagisa, Etienne and Clovis had seated themselves in the leather sofa ensemble. The younger generation stood about the room randomly.
Hisae stood between Alexis and Kogure with her head lowered. She was twiddling her hands nervously and her face remained colorless. Ying stood behind them and was dead worried about her friend. Luckily, Mitsui was there to calm her as he placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed gently. She smiled up at the scarred boy weakly.
"I want Nicole to withdraw from this school immediately. She has to go to Vienna to accomplish her duties at Konservatorium der Stadt Wien." Nagisa said coldly.
Hisae's face paled a few more shades at her mother's words. Kogure frowned, but he took her hand into his and squeezed it gently in gesture to remind her of his promise to her. She looked up at him and smiled thankfully. Arigatou Kim-kun, for staying by my side…
"Okaa-san, that is insane! How can you force Nicole to go to that place?" Eien said grimly.
"There is no place for you in this Alexis!" Nagisa snapped.
"But…" Eien hissed.
Nagisa shot a death glare at her son.
Etienne sighed and shook his head. "Nagisa, this is enough. Please stop all this." He said weakly to his wife with heavily accented Nihongo.
"Etienne, what are you saying?" Nagisa darted at her husband disapprovingly.
"I don't want Nicole to turn out like Alexis." Etienne said painfully.
"Papa…" Eien mumbled as his handsome, stoical features twisted.
"What's wrong with Alexis? Nicole has to go to the conservatorium; it is her duty as a prodigy." Nagisa hissed heartlessly.
Hisae's shoulder dropped further at her mother's cold words, and her body began to waver. Kogure held her shoulders and supported her quickly before she fell to her knees. His heart ached for her. His warm eyes hardened as the flames of determination shone through them from the deepest part of his soul.
"Sumimasen, but I would like to say something." Kogure said firmly as all eyes turned to him. "Hisae, iie, Nicole is a person. A living breathing human being with her own thoughts and ideals. She is not a toy, nor is she a puppet that anyone can control. Most importantly, she is your daughter Nagisa-san! She is you very own flesh and blood. Why do you insist on causing her pain and despair by making her do what she does not want to? Why is it so important that you must make her go to this conservatorium that you close your eyes to the hurt and pain you are causing her? Can't you see that she is suffering from the burden of being a prodigy?"
Kim-kun… Hisae's eyes reddened and tears began to fall like strings of pearls. She buried her face into his chest and sobbed gently. Kogure wrapped his arms around her and stroked her back in calming motions.
"Kim-kun, arigatou…" She mumbled.
Everyone was taken aback by Kogure's words. Eien raised his eyebrows at his sister's action, but a small smile soon grazed his face. Ying and Mitsui gawked at the all fired up Kogure in front of them. Go Kogure! You rock! Their minds cheered. Akahito smiled and nodded his head positively. Sakiyurai raised an eyebrow in surprise at their school's prized student's words, but smiled eventually. Maybe this boy can turn things around…
"How dare to speak to me with such…such disrespectful manners? And what rights have you to speak to me like this?" Nagisa snapped as humiliation washed over her.
Etienne smiled at Kogure in approval and thanks, for the boy had spoken the words he had held back for many years.
"Nagisa-san, I mean you no dishonor or disgrace. I am merely stating the facts." Kogure said slowly and showing no signs of intimidation. "I have spoken these words to you because I think of myself as a gentleman, one who do not stand and do nothing when the person he loves is being hurt. And the person I love is your daughter, Nagisa-san."
Hisae looked up from Kogure's embrace and saw his gentle features had hardened in solemnity. She smiled gently at him, and he returned the smile. Ying and Mitsui high-5 silently at their gentle friend's confession of love and grinned like idiots.
"You!" Nagisa gritted her teeth.
"Please Nagisa. You have eyes to see how cold and aloof Alexis had turned out to be. He was once a vibrant and happy child, but your pressuring and over-demanding had made him the stoic person he is now. I don't want to see history repeat itself. I don't want to see our daughter crushed by your swollen pride to regain your status in your father's eyes." Etienne said painfully.
Nagisa gaped at her husband's word. The sadness in Etienne's purple eyes could not be missed. Seeing her husband's bright eyes darkened by this sorrow pained her heart like daggers stabbing non-stop at it. She then turned her head to her son. What she saw was a coldness that could not be thawed by anything in those same purple eyes. Her heart wrenched as pain shot through her system and she gripped onto the sofa's armrest as she gasped for air.
What…what have I done… Nagisa's mind screamed agonizingly.
Someone knocked on the door of the kouchoushitsu at this moment. The door opened to show the captain of Kainan Dai basketball team, Maki Shinichi and an old man dressed in traditional hakama, supporting himself on a walking stick as he walked.
Eien heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of the new comers. He smiled a grateful smile at the younger boy. Maki smiled back and nodded in acknowledgement. Nagisa however, paled at the sight of the old gentleman. Her cold façade had disappeared along with her poise. Etienne had to hold her by the shoulders to support her in her crumbling state.
Sakiyurai stood up and bowed at the old gentleman. "Welcome to Shohoku Shitsuki-san. It is an honor to have your presence."
"The pleasure is mine, kouchou sensei." Shitsuki Gennosuke smiled at Sakiyurai.
"Otou-san…" Nagisa said shakily.
Hisae turned to look the ojii-san she had never seen before. Ojii-san…
Shitsuki Gennosuke turned and looked at the daughter he had rejected many years ago. "Nagisa, what you have done is unforgivable!" He said sternly.
"Otou-san…" The brown eyes of Nagisa now drowned by tears. "I'm sorry for disobeying you but I love Etienne…"
"That is not an excuse!" Gennosuke said calmly.
"Please forgive Nagisa, it was my entire fault." Etienne said pleadingly to Gennosuke trying to help his wife to regain her father's recognition.
Gennosuke glared fiercely at Etienne. "Of course it was your fault. I employed you to teach my daughter music of the western world, but what have you done instead? You seduced my daughter and took her away from my family. However," He took a deep breath and continued, "I am not here to judge you. I am here for my granddaughter's sake."
"Does that mean you have forgiven us, otou-san?" Nagisa asked hopefully.
"We will discuss that matter some other time. What I want to talk about now is Hisae's welfare." Gennosuke said as he took a seat in one of the sofas. He looked at Eien and Hisae and motioned them to come forward.
Hisae pulled away from Kogure gently and smiled. She then walked over to her grandfather with her brother. The siblings bowed and addressed Gennosuke in unison, "Ojii-san."
Gennosuke smiled satisfyingly at the two grandchildren he had never met in person before.
"Nagisa, I forbid you to manipulate Hisae further. She will not go to Vienna. She will be staying here in Japan until she has found need and is willing to go to Vienna herself!" Gennosuke announced. "I do not remember teaching you how to manipulate people's life to suit your own desires when I brought you up. Seeing what you have done to Eien pained me deeply. I do not want to see this happening to my granddaughter as well."
"Demo otou-san, Nicole…" Nagisa cringed at her father's sharp words.
"No buts! Hisae will stay here and that is final." Gennosuke said firmly.
Hisae looked at her mother pleadingly. "Kaa-san, please? I really don't want to go to Vienna. I want to stay here with my friends; I don't want to be all alone again."
Hisae… Ying's heart ached for her friend. No wonder she was so diffident before. Poor kid…
Seeing her mother not relenting, Hisae pleaded more. "At least for now, kaa-san? Let me stay for the rest of the school term at least? I will go to Vienna next spring. I promise…"
Nagisa sighed. She had never seen Hisae like this before. Hisae had always listened to everything she had said and asked her to do. This was the first time Hisae fought back. Most of all, she could see the deep yearning and sadness in her daughter's beautiful purple eyes.
"All right. You can stay here for the rest of the semester. But do you promise to go to Vienna next year?" Nagisa said, finally giving in.
Hisae nodded her head frantically. "Yes. I promise. I will go to Vienna next year and complete the mastery course in composing."
"Fine. You can stay here then. But on one condition." Nagisa said in defeat. "You will join the Japan Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra for practices weekends to make sure that you maintain you standards."
"Arigatou kaa-san! Arigatou!" Hisae bowed deeply and happily at her mother's offer.
Everyone in the room smiled. Ying jumped for joy and waltzed over to Hisae, pulling her into a deep hug. Mitsui walked over to Kogure and patted him on the shoulders, and giving him the thumbs-up as he winked at the ex-vice-captain of the Shohoku basketball team. Kogure sighed a sigh of relief silently and smiled at Mitsui.
"I'm staying here with Nicole." Eien said out of the blue.
All eyes turned on him. Hisae looked at her brother confusingly. "Nii-chan…"
Eien shrugged. "I just want to stay here for a while."
Akahito came over and slapped Eien on the back playfully. "It'll be fun to have the ice block of Yamaha Music Foundation back ne!"
Eien scowled at his friend. "Ch."
Nagisa rolled her eyes and threw her hands in the air submissively. "Whatever. Do as you like. It's not like I have a say in what you want to do anymore."
"Our children are old enough to know what they're doing." Etienne said as he squeezed his wife's shoulder reassuringly.
"I beg your pardon. Since everything is settled, can I have my students back in their classes please? They have already missed the first two classes today." Sakiyurai said quietly.
Gennosuke smiled and nodded at Sakiyurai. He turned to Hisae and her friends, "You kids go to class now. I'll have a car to pick you up after school today so we can talk later."
"Arigatou ojii-chan." Hisae stepped forward and hugged her grandfather gratefully.
Gennosuke hugged her back and patted her back gently before releasing her. "Ganbatte ne."
Nicole nodded and turned to take leave with her friends.
Gennosuke stood from his seat and bowed at Sakiyurai. "Sorry to have trouble you for all these kouchou sensei. I think we should all leave now and return peace to you school."
Sakiyurai bowed in return. "Iie. It was a pleasure to have to president of the Board of Education and Genji Attorney Corporation with us today."
Gennosuke smiled and turned to leave. Maki hurried to his grandfather's side to support him.
"Follow me, all of you. We have much to talk about." Gennosuke said to those still present before he walked out of the kouchoushitsu.
o o o o o
"Sorry we're late for class sensei!" Ying shouted as she, Kogure and Hisae entered the class.
They bowed and Ying handed the excuse slip to the teacher. They quickly returned to their seats and took out the required stationery for the current class. However, upon their entrance to class, their class had become silent as their fellow students and sensei gawked at them. Most of them had witnessed the earlier events.
Ying, Kogure and Hisae sweat dropped at the deafening silence surrounding them. Ying stood up and shouted, "Sensei! Are we having a class or not?"
The teacher coughed to regain her composure whilst their fellow classmates fidgeted embarrassingly.
"Let us continue." The teacher said in a wobbly tone.
Although the class continued, the students were too disturbed by their curiosity to concentrate at what was being taught. However, they remained silent and tried their best to listen to the droning lecture.
When the morning recess bell rang, Ying stood up and shouted at her classmates as the teacher left their class.
"Stay where you are! Don't move!"
Everyone turned to look at her in confusion. Ying walked over to Hisae and stretched her arms out horizontally in a protective manner.
"Don't pester her! She is just another high school student, nothing more. So do not look as her as if she's some…someone weird!" Ying exclaimed firmly.
Hisae stood up from her seat and placed a hand on Ying's outstretched right arm. "Ying, you don't have to do this." She said softly and gratefully.
"Demo…" Ying turned her head to say.
Hisae shook her head slightly and smiled, "Daijoubu." She pushed Ying to one side slightly and bowed to her fellow classmates. "Gomen ne minna-san for hiding my identity from you all. Datte…I had no choice. Dakara, I hope we can still be friends and that you will treat me as one of you instead of some celebrity. As long as I am here, I will always be Shitsuki Hisae, a third year high school student. Onegaishimasu…"
"Well said Hisae-chan!" Akagi said encouragingly as he clapped his hands and stood up from his seat.
Hisae smiled gently at her tall friend and nodded in gesture of thanks. The rest of the class mumbled among themselves and smiled at Hisae in the simplest manner, an indication of the acknowledgements for her speech.
"Arigatou minna-san…" Hisae bowed gratefully at her classmates.
"OK, show's over. You guys can go back to what you were doing now." Ying waved to shoo everyone back to what they were doing.
Hisae felt a gentle hand on her shoulder and turned to smiled at its owner. The bespectacled boy smiled back reassuringly and nodded.
"You're not mad at me?" Hisae asked Kogure sheepishly.
Kogure stifled a laugh. "Of course not, silly. It's not that big a deal."
"Really?" She looked at him hopefully.
"Uh huh. So don't stress yourself worrying ne?" He winked at her.
Hisae smiled and nodded at him cheerfully. It was the most spirited smile he had seen from her, and he smiled back with equal vigor.
"Congrats on a good catch ne, Kogure." Akagi said teasingly.
Kogure laughed while Hisae blushed. "Thanks Akagi."
"Hmmm…you weren't embarrassed when Kogure confessed a while ago, so why are you so red now, Hisae?" Ying snickered.
"Ying!" Hisae blurted.
"What!? Kogure-kun confessed!?" Some of their classmates that were close by overheard and piped loudly.
Hisae reddened a few more shades while Kogure tried to laugh his way out as he scratched his head arbitrarily. The class roared upon this news. To them, this day was one that was filled with surprises.
However, the bell rang before any of their classmates could cause further chaos. Kogure and Hisae both let out a sigh of relief, thanking the bell with all their hearts.
o o o o o
As soon as the lunch bell rang, Ying dashed over to where Hisae was sitting and dragged her out of class. Kogure reacted and followed them. They bumped into Mitsui down the corridor, who also followed them. Ying finally stopped running when they were at a café outside Shohoku. All four were panting when they stopped.
"Why…why have you br…brought us here, Ying?" Hisae asked as she gasped for air.
"To have lunch of course, why else?" Ying replied plainly.
"Nani!? You drag us here just to have lunch? Are you crazy, woman?" Mitsui spat irritatingly.
Ying scowled and snapped back at the indigo head. "No one asked you to follow, you nitwit!"
Hence, another staring contest filled with smoky sparks ensured between the rather 'compromising' couple.
"They sure are perfect for each other huh?" Kogure smiled at the two.
Hisae nodded. "Sou…"
When the two hotheaded couples finally ended their staring contest, all of them entered the small café. It was nothing fancy, just a small western styled café that served the most basic of lunches. Sandwiches.
"Honestly Ying, why have you brought us here?" Hisae asked confusingly.
"Don't you think that now your id is exposed, everyone around school will be curious about you? That'd leave us without peace ne. So, how do you expect us to have lunch in school?" Ying explained.
"She's got a point there. You are someone famous, so that'd make everyone want to gush over you." Mitsui said with a shrug.
"Hmm…" Hisae lowered her head as she fell into her thoughts.
"Ne Hisae, is everyone in your family a musician?" Ying asked curiously, breaking Hisae's trail of thoughts.
Hisae nodded. "Otou-san is a pianist and an orchestra conductor. Nii-chan is a violinist, but he also plays the piano, and I'm a pianist."
"You missed out one thing." Kogure said with a smile. "You're also a saxophone player."
"But I've only started learning it this year, so that doesn't really count." Hisae explained.
"Still, you're good at it." Mitsui said.
"How about your mother?" Ying asked. "Is she a musician too?"
"Iie. Although okaa-san knows how to play the piano, she isn't a professional musician like tou-san, nii-chan and I."
"Oh," Ying raised an eyebrow. "She pressures you and your brother to extremity for what then? It's not like she knows that much about music."
"Ojii-san did not approved of my parents' marriage, so he disowned kaa-san when my parents married. But, being born into the higher society makes kaa-san a very proud person, so when ojii-san disowned her, she vowed to regain ojii-san's recognition one day." Hisae sighed. "Because ojii-san said that there is no future as a musician, kaa-san acted to show him that his words were wrong. Therefore, since we were young, kaa-san demanded nii-chan and I turn out to be the best musicians in the world. For me, playing the piano was a born talent I guess, so it was not much of a trouble for me. But for nii-chan, he didn't like the violin at all, but he was forced to take it up and be the best at it."
"That is why your brother turned into the ice block he is now huh?" Mitsui said thoughtfully.
"Hai…" Hisae replied weakly. "And because nii-chan and I excel in the instruments we play, we were donned as prodigies at a young age. Contracts for playing at special events and CD releases brought fame to us, but it also killed the possibilities of us having a normal life at the same time."
Kogure took Hisae's cold hands into his and warmed them by rubbing his on hers. "But you've gained freedom now. You fought for it and you gained it." He said with a gentle smile.
Hisae smiled gratefully at him, and then at Ying and Mitsui as all the dark clouds lifted from her heart. "Thanks to you all for giving me the courage to fight."
"Hey, what are friends for?" Ying said happily and winked at her, "And your most welcomed."
Mitsui also winked at her as he smiled. Kogure squeezed her hands lightly as he nodded.
"By the way, can't believe you've got such a hunky brother, Hisae." Ying said dreamily.
Mitsui snubbed at his girlfriend's words and looked away. "Ch."
"Err…thanks Ying, but I think you're making Mitsui-kun jealous ne." Hisae teased.
"I'm not jealous!" Mitsui snapped as his cheeks flushed.
"Who cares?" Ying snorted and smirked at the indigo head.
"Why you!" Mitsui gritted his teeth. However, he soon smirked at Ying mischievously. "You really think I'd be jealous of someone who's as cold as that stupid kitsune on our team?"
"So you are jealous then! Hahahahaha…" Ying burst out laughing.
Mitsui blinked a few times before he realized what his words indicated. His face became bright red. Kogure and Hisae sat aside and sweat dropped at the couple's exchange of words.
"Why me?" Mitsui groaned as he slumped onto the table. "What do I ever see in her?"
"Ooi!" Ying flared at his words.
Luckily, their lunch arrived and that cleared the bickering between Mitsui and Ying.
"Hisae, you are really going to go to Vienna next year?" Ying asked after she'd finished her sandwich.
Hisae looked at her and the two boys with them noticing they had stopped eating upon Ying's question. She nodded. "Yes. I have to go."
"But what for?" Mitsui asked puzzlingly.
"To attain the mastery course in music composition."
"Ano, can't you do it here?" Ying asked.
Hisae shook her head weakly. "No. Although the Yamaha Music Foundation offered a good course in music composition, it still doesn't match the one offered by Vienna's Conservatorium of Music."
"How long will you be gone?" Kogure asked softly as he stirred his glass of ice tea with the straw, not looking at her.
"Three years, at most." Hisae bit her lip as she replied. The thought of leaving her friends and Kogure for three years wrenched her heart painfully.
"Sou…" Kogure sighed.
"Sou?! Is that all you can say Kogure?" Ying gawked at the brown-eyed boy in disbelief. "She's going to be away from you for three years for goodness sake! It's not three days!"
Kogure looked up at them as a grim smile etched in his face. "What else can I do or say?"
"At least something other than that!" Ying snapped irritatingly.
"Please don't be like this Ying? You're too harsh on Kim-kun." Hisae said softly, her eyes pleading.
"Demo…" Ying mumbled.
"This is something they have to work out themselves, so leave it to them. You have no place in this." Mitsui said to Ying.
Ying looked at Mitsui and nodded. She sighed, "You better do something about the situation ne, Kogure-kun?"
Kogure nodded. "I will."
"Take a walk with me?" Hisae asked Kogure softly. He nodded and they stood up to leave. Mitsui winked at Kogure for good luck as he stepped out with Hisae.
"The rain has stopped ne…" Hisae looked up into the clearing skies and took a few deep breaths of the rain-scented fresh air as she closed her eyes.
Kogure smiled at her unadorned behavior. Although with all the pressure around her, she is still a child at heart… His eyes softened as his heart ached for her again.
Hisae turned and walked backward in front of him suddenly. She smiled and asked, "Ne, which university are you planning to apply for?"
"Aa. ToDai and KyoDai are my objectives. But I'm also applying others such as the local university." He said languidly.
"Sou ka?" She turned around and walked next to him again. She tilted her head to one side and said, "Hea…with your academic results, I bet you can get into either ToDai or KyoDai easily."
"Don't be so sure; those two are the top universities in Japan. Their entrance exams are the most difficult amongst all."
"Have more confidence in yourself ne Kim-kun. I believe in you, so don't you believe in yourself?" She said with an encouraging smile as she bored into his brown eyes.
"Hisae-chan… I…" Kogure paused and looked at her. He knew what she was trying to say, not only about the upcoming entrance exams, also about their relationship.
"Ne?" She asked again.
He smiled. A smile that said it all. The confidence, the determination, and the promise.
"Hai! I will be able to achieve what I set out to achieve." He said firmly.
She smiled brightly at him. Her purple eyes sparkled under the autumn sun that had just came out of hiding from the clouds. He pulled her into an embrace and snuggled his face into the crook of her neck as she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around him.
"I'll be waiting for you…right here." He mumbled.
She nodded as a single tear dropped from her eyes and seeped into his uniform…and his heart.
