Anywho, I just though I'd give you the latest on my story so ENJOY! And I

Usagi paced restlessly in her room. It was six-oh-seven. Her mother and her instructor had been talking for five minutes now and it was making Usagi go nuts! She just wanted to get these lessons over with. She already had to do all her homework and study! It wasn't fair!
"Usagi! Come down! Kou-san is ready to start your lessons!" Her mother called up. Usagi walked down the stairs angrily and then stopped at the bottom. Her breath suddenly caught in her throat.
He was handsome! Deathly handsome! He towered over her by several inches, and had the perfect muscular build. His face had soft, yet defined features, but his dancing indigo eyes made him look playful and fun loving. His long, midnight hair that was pulled into a ponytail at the nape of his neck, accented all of the features that made him so desirable. Usagi suddenly blushed, looking down at the ground.
"He- Hello, You must be Kou-sama," Usagi said politely, her cheeks flaming red by now. The man smiled and nodded.
"Yes! And you must be Usagi! Well, Usagi, why don't we go to the study and we can get to know each other a little better and get started!" He said. His voice was even playful! It had a tenor tone and flowed through the air like a thick warm blanket.
They went into the study, where the piano was, and Kou-san sat down on the bench, placing his brief case down and looking up at Usagi.
"So, Usagi, let me tell you a little about myself! You can call me, Seiya. I am eighteen years old and you are my fourth student since I have been giving lessons. I used to live in Osaka, but moved here when I decided that Tokyo would be a better place for education and work.
"I also know that this is some type of punishment for you and I want to let you know that as soon as you close that door," He pointed to the door, "We're on equal terms. I'm not too much older then you and I want you to be more of my friend then anything else. To me this is a way of teaching some one how to sing, not forcing them too. If sometime you just really don't feel like singing at all, then we can just sit here and talk and make it sound like we're singing, okay?" He smiled brightly again. Usagi nodded before she nearly melted onto the floor.
"Great. I guess we should get started then, Ne?" he chuckled and turned to the piano, "Okay, see if you can match my pitch." He rolled back the cover and pressed one of the keys with a delicate precision.
Usagi clamped her mouth shut. She didn't want to sing for him! What if she was way off pitch? What if she totally embarrassed herself? What f Seiya thought she was beyond help and left and never came back?
Seiya looked up at her again, he noted the 'what if' look in her eyes. She had no reason to be afraid of him. But he had a feeling he was going to have to do a lot of work to coax her out of her cage. "Tell me, Usagi, do you have a CD player down here?" he asked. Usagi nodded a little and went to a small cabinet to open its cherry doors. Seiya nodded and smiled.
"Good! What's your favorite CD?" He asked.
"Um. I um." Usagi blushed again. Why did he make her feel as if she were five? She felt like she had been caught doing something wrong all of the sudden. "I guess I don't really have a favorite CD."
"Well. why don't you run upstairs and grab any CD, okay?"
Usagi raced out of the room as fast as she could. She felt so dumb in there! He was her instructor, not some totally hot babe she'd just met! Just her instructor! As she came upon the study again, she peaked through the crack in the door into the room.
Seiya was standing there looking at a family portrait taken last year. She blushed. He was so cute. and so nice about everything. but. he probably had a girlfriend. Which sucked.
She stepped into the room with silent footsteps and handed him the CD. He smiled again at her, trying to ease her a little, then his eyes ran over the case.
"Not, bad. Why don't you put it in?" He asked. Usagi did and pressed play. She was a little confused on what this was to accomplish but. oh well. If that's what he wanted, then that's what he got.
"So Usagi," Seiya sat down on the piano bench and covered the keys again. He turned to look up at her, ebony locks falling over his crystal indigo eyes, "Tell me about your self."
"What do you want to know?" She was caught totally off guard.
"I don't know. You're. Seventeen, if I remember correctly?"
Usagi nodded, "Hai."
"Come sit down," He moved to the right to make room for Usagi to sit. She blushed a deep red again.
"I'm fine." She said.
"Why are you so nervous, Usagi?" Seiya asked her. She blushed yet again. This was becoming a pain. His voice was just so soft and gentle though. she couldn't help but blush at him.
"I don't know. I guess I feel weird. You aren't like other instructors."
"I pride myself on that!" he chuckled. "Do you know this song, Usagi?" He asked after a moment of silence.
Usagi nodded.
"Will you sing it for me? Please? You don't have to sing really loudly." He asked.
Usagi blushed.. Oh well. here goes nothing. She turned away from him and began to sing very softly, her volume increasing only once in a very little while.
"You have a beautiful voice," Seiya said, after the song had ended. He got up and stopped the CD. "Simply beautiful." He walked over to her and looked her in the eyes. "Do you mind if I invade your personal space a little, Usagi?" he asked.
Invade her personal space? Heck! He could 'invade her personal space' anytime he wanted! Usagi blushed and nodded.
"Alright, but If I touch you in any way and you don't like it, I give you the right to slap me, okay?" He said. Usagi blushed. She doubted very much she would do that.
Seiya got down onto the floor and ran his fingertips up the sides of her calves. He looked up at her, "Part you feet a little, please."
Usagi did as she was told as Seiya walked around her. He was behind her as he placed his hands on her hips and pulled them back just slightly, while gently moving one had to the small of her back.
Usagi's heart was pounding in her ears. All she felt were his gentle touches. She suddenly had the urge to tell him that she didn't want to sing, just so she could talk to him.or better yet.
She felt pains of suppressing giggles and smiles, the effect of some of the thoughts that were running through her head. Usagi glanced at the clock. She had just over half an hour left with him. And then she'd have to wait another whole 24 hours before she got to look upon his handsome face once again. Her attention turned quickly back to Seiya and his touches.
One hand smoothed up her stomach a little then he took it away and poked her ribs, tickling her a little and making her stand up straighter.
"Ah-ha!" Seiya said in triumph, "I fixed your posture problem, almost. Now, just relax your shoulders," He took his thumbs and pressed them with the just the right pressure, and in just the right place, on her shoulders. Then he ran them over her tense muscle there, relaxing them immediately.
"There we go, feel better?" he asked, coming around to her front.
"H- Hai." She blushed.
"Good," Seiya reached forward and tilted her chin up, and ran his hands softly down her neck, then over her shoulders. Walking around her once more, he made a few more adjustments in her posture. After he was done he smiled. "Now, Usagi, how do you feel. besides violated?"
Usagi blushed. Hell she would have paid a million dollars for him to do that again, "Good. my back feels a little stiff."
"It should, your posture is terrible. I'm going to make you do a little exercise for the first five minutes of every session alright?" Seiya went to his briefcase and took out a book, He was thinking about how soft she felt in his hands. sure he didn't have to touch her all those places. but it got the job done, ne? She was only a year younger then him self, the perfect age! And simply beautiful to boot! Demo. she was still his student. It wouldn't be very proper.
He pushed his emotions off as he walked over to her and smiled, "Keep your posture, okay?" He balanced the book on her head and smiled. "There you go. I want you to balance this book on you head in front of me everyday. When you get used to it, I'll have you sing a scale for me, but that won't be for a long while, Okay?"
"Alright. can I take it off now?" She asked, "My back is hurting."
"Sure," he took the book off her and placed it back into his bag. "I have something else to ask of you, alright? Will you drink hot tea, with no lemon, before I come. Can you do that?"
"Yes."
"Good, do you want to try and match my pitch again or should we call it a day and just sit down and talk?"
"I guess I could try to match the pitch again." Usagi blushed a little more. She should have thought about that! She could have been talking with him! She pouted a little while he turned back to the piano.
"Alright. Try this." he struck a note and Usagi opened her mouth to sing out the note. she aimed a little too high. Oops! Too low! Finally her voice leveled on the right pitch and she turned away, blushing.
"I'm sorry." She apologized.
"Ne? What for?" he asked, "I can tell you that I certainly couldn't have done that well when I started singing. Hell If I was any more off the note it would have been harmony." He chuckled.
"Really? How long have you been singing?"
"I started when I was about seven or eight. maybe nine? I don't know, but I was pretty young for most boys my age. I started playing the piano when I was about seven."
Usagi watched him with wide, interested eyes, "You play the piano?"
"Yep." He turned to the keyboard and tapped out the beginning of 'Fur Elise'. "It just takes a lot of patience and practice, no matter what you are learning."
"Will you sing for me?" Usagi asked very innocently. Seiya laughed then blushed.
"Maybe some other time."
"But you're my instructor!" Usagi protested. Seiya laughed again.
"Hai, and I still say: Some other time."
Usagi blushed. "Alright."
"Usagi, Sing the pitch for me again," Seiya struck the key, and after a few more faults she found the pitch again.
"Good, now if you could hold it."
She held the pitch as Seiya watched her.
"That's very good, however your tone needs to be a little longer."
"Nani?" Usagi's eyes looked blankly at him at her laughed.
"Here," Seiya got up and, laid his hands on her cheeks, close to her mouth. "Sing the pitch again."
Usagi blushed and sang, but her mouth became elongated, producing an operatic sound. Seiya grinned and took away his hands.
"See?" He asked, laughing. "It's a more mature sound. If you don't sing like that from now on I'll pack my bags and leave, " He said jokingly. His laughter nearly stopped when he saw Usagi starring at him with a look of horror. 'Hm.' he thought, 'Could she like me too?. Nah. Not possible.'
"Oh." She said blushing.
"Well," He checked his watch, "We've got ten minutes left. Care to song me a scale?" He asked, "Just a C major. Nothing you probably haven't heard before." He played the notes on the piano as she sung along, working hard to keep her mouth elongated and to match the pitch.
"You did well," Seiya said calmly, as he picked up his papers and put them back in his briefcase. "It's time for me to go, but you'll see me tomorrow."
"Hai." Usagi whispered.
"It was a good practice, Usagi," he smiled, "Don't be worried!" With that he gave a wink and walked out of the study and into the afternoon light. Usagi stared at him. Makoto was right, he was cute. deathly cute. hot. sexy. good-looking. attractive. and any other name you could come up with for 'cute'.
He waved once more before he got into his car and drove away. Usagi sighed deeply. He was only a year older then her self, it wouldn't be such a big deal if. a relationship started.
"Keep dreaming, Usagi," She told herself, walking up to her room, "He's probably got a girlfriend."
The night went on, and Usagi couldn't keep her mind off Seiya.
Usagi paced restlessly in her room. It was six-oh-seven. Her mother and her instructor had been talking for five minutes now and it was making Usagi go nuts! She just wanted to get these lessons over with. She already had to do all her homework and study! It wasn't fair!

He waved once more before he got into his car and drove away. Usagi sighed deeply. He was only a year older then her self, it wouldn't be such a big deal if. a relationship started.
