7.59:47 in the morning.
Time for class.
Most students are in their classrooms already, reading or talking with friends and classmates while latecomers scrambled to make it to their classes on time for another day of learning.
Or for some, another day of boredom.
"Ba-"
The alarm goes off and the students tense up, the late ones putting on a rush of speed to get there before the chimes end, the rest sighing and moving to their desks if they're not there already.
There's a slight catch in the speakers, barely noticeable, then the melody continues.
"-DA! Ba-da! Ba-ba-da!"
The rush for seats pauses as the up-beat tempo continues for a few bars, then stops after the normal length of time, leaving most students wide-eyed and wondering.
Except for the students of Classroom 2B, who turn to look at the class clown, magician and prankster extraordinaire.
Who was playing idly with a pencil, his head propped up on one hand as he looked rather bored and nonchalant.
With the minor exception of the small smirk curling the corners of his mouth.
Nakamori Aoko is the first to speak, from the seat next to him. "Do we want to know how you did that?" She deadpans.
"Never mind that." Hakuba Saguru interrupts with wide astonished eyes. "Where the heck did you get a recording of Taiko Drums playing ''The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B'?!"
-fin-
Written after watching Taiko drummers in Little Tokyo actually play the 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B'.
After seeing the Taiko Arcade Game in Japan where you can play the opening theme to 'Sailor Moon', we shouldn't have been so surprised... O_o
