Chapter 8
Band Concert Part 1
Well a few weeks have passed since that long and hard book report was finish. Hoshi was hanging out with Yami and Joey for the past few weeks, opening up more to people. They did various things both inside and outside of the school. Needless to say they were the best of friends. It took awhile for Matt to allow them over again. Yami and Hoshi still have that nightmare over and over again. Each time the pain grew worse and worse. But both of them were good actors and the only one who suspected something was their family and Joey and maybe even each other. Joey secretly was trying to get them together.
Winter was around the corner and soon it started to snow. There were many snowball fights before and after school. Yami had been very busy lately because of his concert that was coming up. They were playing a winter concert for everyone. It was a fundraiser, the money made from the tickets were going to help the school and the band. Yami had a special part in this concert he was going play a duet with another flute player "Sweet Innocent". The band teacher had run into Mimi's parents once. They were old friends and with Mimi's permission they gave her the music to the "Sweet Innocent". The band teacher, Ms. Nero, like piece so much she put it the concert in this year. Yami was also performing "Ballad of the Wind Fish" with another violin player accompanying him with his flute. Both pieces were very hard, especially "Ballad of the Wind Fish". Yami practiced hard was able to master them, there still a little trouble in both pieces. He had the hard part because he was a better player but he learned both parts anyway. He liked "Sweet Innocent" better and knew he had heard it before but couldn't place it. Three days before the concert Ms. Nero came up to Yami with some distressing news.
"Yami," said Ms. Nero, "I need to talk to you."
Yami turned to face his teacher, "Sure Ms. Nero."
"For the concert you don't need to perform the two duets," stated Ms. Nero, there was a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"Why," asked Yami.
"The players you were suppose to play with cancel at the last minutes. One had a family emergency and they don't know when it been over but it looks like they would be finish in till after the concert. They had to fly to America to find out what exactly happen. The other had come down with a very back case of the flu and a broken arm," said Ms. Nero.
"Oh and there no one else to play their part," asked Yami.
"I'm afraid not. I know how much you want to perform those pieces but there is no time to teach someone else the piece," said Ms. Nero.
Just as she said that the sound of the "Sweet Innocent" flew into the air. They both blinked, the school was deserted. No one was here or at least no one in their right mind would be and it couldn't be one of the teachers either so who was it? They followed the music to the front of the school. Just outside of the school sitting on a wall was Hoshi. The snow wasn't even bothering her. She just sat there, playing her flute letting the music flow gently through the air. The wind picked up the music and carried it to were Ms. Nero and Yami were formally standing.
"Hoshi," said Yami. Hoshi stopped playing and looked at Yami, confused that he was still here. It was after school so she didn't know way he was still here.
"What are you doing here," she asked.
"I had band practice today. Why are you here," asked Yami.
"Waiting for my dad. You see we have to go to and pick up Matt but it looks like he running late."
"Oh."
Ms. Nero over at Hoshi in seconds. "Were did you learned to play that piece," she asked.
"I learned it from a friend," said Hoshi a bit confused why the teacher was saying.
"Who was this friend?"
"Her name was Mimi."
"You know Mimi," asked a very shocked Yami.
"Yeah she a good friend of mine. Didn't I introduce you to her," said Hoshi.
"No."
"Oh."
"How would you like to play in the up coming concert," asked Ms. Nero.
"What?!"
"You see we need someone to play that piece with Yami. And other flute player canceled at the last minute and Yami and I are looking forward to at least having that piece performed at the Winter Concert," said Ms. Nero.
"I guess I can," said Hoshi.
"Good. Now at least one of the pieces will be performed at the concert in three days," said Ms. Nero. She was happy that at least one of the pieces she planned was going to played. Then Yami thought of something.
"Hey Hoshi, you wouldn't have learned the "Ballad of the Wind Fish" on the violin by any chance," asked Yami. He remembered quite well that Hoshi also played the violin. And very well if he may add. He had heard her play once and a person passing by gave her money for playing so well. Hoshi was a bit shocked at the when the man gave her money. She refused it but the man insisted and she ended up taking it home with her.
"Actually I have. Why," said Hoshi.
"That great. Can you play it at the concert as well?"
"I guess," replied Hoshi.
"This is wonderful," said Ms. Nero. "Now we can play both pieces at the concert."
Yami looked like he could kiss Hoshi right there on the spot but stopped himself after remembering that there was a teacher right there, watching. Than again Ms. Nero looked like she would do the same thing.
"I need to hear how well you perform the piece sometime before the concert," said Ms. Nero. "How about tomorrow after school?"
"That fine," said Hoshi.
"Excellent," said Ms. Nero. "I'll see you tomorrow then." She walked off. There was a huge grin on her face. As you can guess she was very happy that she met Hoshi.
"That was a bit strange," mumble Hoshi.
"Don't mind Ms. Nero. She always like that," said Yami, "So where are heading?"
"Home I guess. Dad isn't here yet and probably isn't going to be here for the next few hours. Probably stuck in the office or something like that. I'll just give him a call and tell him I'll meet him at home."
"I'll walk you home," said Yami.
"Sure way not," said Hoshi.
*Yes I get to walk home with Hoshi/Yami,* they both thought at the same time.
~~On the way to Hoshi's House~~
It began to snow gently. Yami and Hoshi didn't mind. They walked slowly to the house talking all the way.
"So where did you learn those songs," asked Yami.
"I picked it up. They're hard but real nice sings. When I play it, it's like that I'm in another world. It soothing," said Hoshi.
They stopped in front of the house. "We're here already," asked Hoshi. "Funny it usually it takes me longer. It must be because I had company with me." Hoshi looked at Yami. Yami blushed a bit. Lucky for him Hoshi didn't see it. "Thanks Yami for walking me home. See you at school tomorrow," said Hoshi as she began to walk inside. Just as she was going to go inside she turned around and gave Yami a kiss on the cheek. Hoshi ran back inside. Yami put his hand over the place were Hoshi kissed him and blushed an even darker shade of red. Meanwhile Hoshi leaned against the door she put her hand on her heart. Closing her eyes and blushing a bit she mumbled to herself. "Asitura Yami."
