Notes: Please be patient while I clear up the kinda-maybe-sorta plot of this fic before bringing in anymore characters. once everyone in, there'll be too many people talking at once! And thanks to all who reviewed, please please keep it out! Gives me inspirations and happiness!!! *hugs and kisses to all* So, for the moment I'm gonna take it realllly slow with 'Partners In Crime' to focus on this fic since it's more fun to write anyway. ^_~
To: Akane ~ *grin* Here's the next chapter!
Tensaispira ~ Hehehehe, I used to play the drums in Junior High, but that's about the closest I got to music!
sLL ~ *sweatdrops* Guess I gotta pay more attention to detail now since there's a *really* attentive reviewer out there. ^_~
Krappkarmin ~ Wowee! That's a very tall order! I'll try my best, but it's gonna be hard to include everybody. *grin* I'm not Takehiko Inoue, you know. If I were I won't have to settle for writing fanfics since I'll be the happiest gal on earth. *grin* And yes, I suppose it would be easier if they were all in the same school. Hmm, you want a non-yaoi. but Melanie wants a SenRu and I *know* Jo-san wants a SenRu. *smirks* Tell you what, I promise to do non-yaoi pairing(s) (in fact, there's hints in this chapter!) but you'll have to allow for yaoi pairings as well, if and when it does happen. But if you are disgusted by yaoi, then I really can't do anything.
Jo-san ~ *glomps Jo-san happily* I'll let you in on a secret, actually, it won't be a secret anymore once it gets published. but anyway. I lurve violinists. and Kaede's my fav, that's why *he* plays the violin. *smirk smirk* but I'm sooooooo glad you're happy with Sensen playing the piano. since Sensen *does* come after me darling Ruru, so he's gonna have to settle for me second fav instrument too. *smirk smirk*
Kathleen ~ Thanks lots for taking the time to drop in a review! I really appreciate it!
Eliar ~ *smirk* better hurry, cause the third part's already up!

Chapter Two ~ Ongaku Shima
Later that evening, a loud knock on the door interrupted Koshino in mid-sentence. Calling out for the visitor to enter, both he and Sendoh turned their gazes towards the door. Fujima entered with a wide grin on his face. Pulling up a chair to face the two boys who were sitting on Sendoh's bed, Fujima announced in jubilation, "Good news, my two loyal and trusted deputies, everything is going according to plan. Ayako, Mitsui and I just came back from the Dean of Music's office and he approves wholeheartedly to the idea. We have the rest of this week to come up with some sort of agenda before he announces it to the whole school."
Sendoh counted his fingers, "It's Thursday today, so that only leaves us three days. Wow, it's a bit rush, don't you think? Do we have a theme yet?"
Fujima nodded, "It's actually Ayako's idea. Seeing how the three of us will be performing at the same time, she's calling it the 'Ongaku Shima', or Music Island."
Koshino grinned, "Hey, that's cool. I like it."
Sendoh leaned over to ruffle his friend's hair as he teased, "Huh, as if we didn't already know that."
Whacking Sendoh's hand away, Koshino grumbled, "What's that supposed to mean?"
This time it was Fujima who answered. Winking at Sendoh the CMG President added, "Come on Koshino, everyone knows that you harbour secret feelings towards the chick."
A pillow was flung at his face to which Fujima laughingly dodged. A little red in the face, Koshino scowled at his President, "She's not a 'chick'. Ayako happens to be a very intelligent young woman with an exquisite musical voice to match. And I am not 'harbouring' any secret feelings for her, it just so happens that I'm a great admirer of her musical talents."
"Yarra, yarra, and pigs can fly. Puh-lease, Koshino, why can't you be man enough to admit that you like her? Or are you intimated by Miyagi?" questioned Fujima with a teasing glint in his eyes.
Koshino scowled angrily, "I am not intimated by Miyagi? Why should I? It's not as if I feel anything for Ayako. I've told you a million times already, we're just friends! No more, no less."
Fujima rolled his eyes as he snorted out, "Chicken."
If looks could kill, Fujima might have slipped from his chair. Hoping to avert a potential shouting match, Sendoh quickly changed the subject, "Eh, let's move on okay? Since we already have a theme, how many performances will we be doing? In any case, how long will the concert be?"
Acknowledging Sendoh's hint, Fujima gave a small smile as he answered, "Well, that's the main reason why I'm here. As yet, we're still not quite sure how to do it. Ayako suggested that her choir group opens and ends the concert, and both Mitsui and I are very much in favour."
Fujima then turn to Koshino with an abashed smile on his face while blinking his doe-like eyes, "That way, we won't be boring the audience or bursting their eardrums right at the beginning. Also, we'll be able to blackmail them into staying until the very end."
Koshino cracked a small smile before sighing aloud in defeat; it really was quite impossible to stay mad at his friend. He knew Fujima was trying to make up for the tease earlier with that compliment so he graciously join in the conversation, "Are you thinking of a joint performance between the members or do you want separate routines?"
Fujima winked in Sendoh's direction, "Well, I thought we might let Sendoh run his own show, after all, he is the star attraction. As to the rest of the members, we'll probably do several numbers together, although I'm open for solo acts."
Sendoh blushed as he replied, "I'm glad you're so supportive of my musical skills. I promise I won't let you down."
Fujima gave him the thumbs up, "That's comforting to hear. So tell me, Koshino, you want to attempt a solo piece?"
Koshino shook his head, "I'm not as thick-skinned as Sendoh. Besides, I doubt if anyone would be interested in hearing me play the trumpet anyway."
Sendoh couldn't help but interject slyly, "Aww, don't be shy, Kosh. Both Fujima and I are already used to you trumpeting your opinions all the time, so one more time."
Sendoh wasn't given the chance to continue as Koshino started to whack him with the pillow that Fujima handed back with an understanding smile. When Sendoh had cried mercy and begged for forgiveness, Koshino finally relented and sat back on his heels with a snort. Wiping away the laughing tears from his eyes, Sendoh wheezed, "Okay, so Kosh won't play solo. Who else do you think will be willing? How about yourself, Fujima? Are you going to perform a solo act on your flute?"
"Well, it really depends on the schedule. If time permits, I guess I won't mind. However, what I would really like is for Kogure to play a piece on his saxophone," replied Fujima with a wide grin on his face.
Both Sendoh and Koshino nodded vehemently as the former remarked, "Yeah, I'm looking forward to that too. It would be absolutely fantastic if Kogure was willing to perform a solo act. But then again, he's awful busy with his artistic commitments. I hear that they're thinking of having the Art Fest several days before or after our concert."
Fujima nodded, "Yes, that's true. I'll be asking him tomorrow, so hopefully we'd get a positive response."
Koshino sighed as he punched the pillow, "Man, I really envy that guy. Not only is he the President of the Art Club, President of our student union, he's also the top student in our college every semester. How does he do that?"
Sendoh couldn't refrain from interjecting wryly, "It helps to have brains, you know."
"Sendoh Akira!"
Several loud shouts followed as Fujima snorted at the childishness displayed by his two deputies. He had to shout over the din, "Hey, if you've got nothing else to ask, I'd like to return to my room. It's getting kinda late and I have an early class tomorrow."
Still pinned under Koshino's grip, Sendoh panted his reply, "Uh, I guess that's all. What time will you be calling for the meeting tomorrow?"
"I'll probably make a brief announcement during the lunch break. But we'll discuss about the details after school hours," replied Fujima.
"Okay then, see you tomorrow," returned Sendoh.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow boss," added Koshino.
Fujima snorted in disbelief as Koshino then returned to pummelling his best friend. With a slight shake of his head, Fujima exited the room.
