Brewing Love
By: Lila Paige Rose
Aya saw that one of her mother's companies, Dreams Agency, was directly across the park (well, since they own the park) and her mother's office is visible from below so if her mother looks out of her glass-paned window, she will see Aya with her friends and her friend's friend, Rei. Her mother will not be pleased.
As they sat down at a wooden bench as Tatsuki and Ran got their ice creams, Aya was alert, if ever her mother decides to look out. Rei noticed this but said nothing.
Why is Aya like this? If it was Ran... Rei caught himself. Hell, quit it. Wait? Why am I even comparing them? Is it possible? Me falling for that damn, red haired freak?
Chapter 3: Newcomer
"You are what, Kadsuki?!" Aya panicked, looking at her friend, who was packing his things.
"I'm sorry to say Aya, but I'll be leaving. My father has asked for my attendance at the board meeting. I'll be back in, say, three weeks, okay?"
"But..."
"No choice. "
It was an early Tuesday morning, just before school, when Kadsuki informed Aya that he will be leaving today to go to New York. Aya was unwilling to, since Kadsuki was her means of comfort. But as he said, there was no choice.
Aya sighed in defeat. "All right. Can I at least escort you to the airport?"
Kadsuki grinned. "Nope. Wouldn't want you to be late."
"Fine."

At Homeroom...
"Class! Class! Quiet down!" Mr. Nakanishi commanded. Finally, when the class settled down, he continued, "Good. Well, I am pleased to inform you that two students from Meisho High will be staying with us. Please com in, Rei and Yuuya."
When the two winners came in, most of the girls in the class screamed, squealed and just drooled.
The teacher then said, "Yuuya, stay at the vacant seat beside Ms. Miyu and Rei, beside Ms. Hoshino." Of course, the two complied.
But the sensei was still not finished speaking. "They will be staying until Friday, the party. Tomorrow, we will have a guest, also, only until the party. Treat them well."
A chorus of, "Hai!"
-¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤-
At their last class, Music Class...
"Good Morning Class!" their female teacher greeted.
"And to you too, Ma'am!"
"Well as usual, we start the class with a solo song. Ms. Ran, will you please sing us a melody?" their teacher asked.
Suddenly, Rui protested. "But miss, Ran had been the one always starting the classes with a song!"
Ran then said, "Yeah ma'am! Why don't we start with... Aya?"
"Wha-?" Aya said, snapping out of her reverie. "Huh? Yuuya what was that?"
"Yuuya whispered, "You were to sing, Aya."
"What?!" Aya exclaimed. "But Ma'am, Ran starts the class!"
Rei, who was sitting behind her, was thinking, I wonder what's wrong? She's not herself today... not paying attention... Hey wait, why do I even care??!!
The teacher answered Aya's question. "she requested it. And," the teacher continued on thoughtfully, "I have never heard you sing yet, with only you and not a chorus."
Rui said, "She's good ma'am! Satisfactory!"
"Prove that then, Ms. Hoshino."
Ran returned to her seat as Aya stood up, admitting defeat. Suddenly, she said, "I accept ma'am, but can I please play the piano along with my song? It's self composed, you see."
Everyone looked amazed. Finally the teacher commented, "With pleasure Aya, and I didn't know you were a music genius." She sat on a chair at the corner and motioned for Aya to seat on the piano's stool.
Aya sat and said, "I'm not."
Finally, she tried out the piano, seeing if it's off-key, and started.
"Subete no hito wo aiseru wake ja
nainara, semete aisuru hito o
Uragi razu ni utagawazu ni, semetari nikundari shinai de"
(If you can't love everyone, at least do not betray, suspect, accuse, or hate the ones you love)
"Mujaki de irukoto ga,
hito o kizutsukete shimau no?
Shizukana jounetsu ga
hitomi no oku de sawagi dasu... anata ni meguri aete"
(Does being innocent mean that I will hurt people? A quiet passion begins to stir within my eyes... after meeting you)
"Kobore souna namida no tsubu,
nagasazu mune ni tamete
Isshun o tsuyoku iki yo,
ichizuna shizuku ni natte"
(Teardrops are about to fall; I don't let them, holding them within my heart, Live each moment to the fullest; become a focused drop)
"Junsui na aijou ga, itsu atte
dareka o madowa shiteru
Akiramenaide inori mashou,
sekai ga tatoe kurayami demo"
(Pure love is always leading someone astray. Let's pray without giving up, even if the world has turned dark)
"Jibun ni hokoreru, tatta
hitotsu o mitsuke dasou
KOTOBA ni dekinai yume ga
ryoute ni afuretemo,
dare nimo somaranai yo"
(Let's find the one thing that I can be proud to myself about. Even if dreams that I cannot put into words fill both of my hands, I won't let myself be affected by anyone)
"Hateshinai toki no naka de,
jibun no nani ga dekiru
Ima wa mada chiisaku demo,
kagayaki keseya shinai yo"
(What can I do in these neverending times? Even though the spark is faint right now, you can't put it out)
By this time, the female population of the class were sobbing, and Ran has this sympathetic but proud expression on her face.
Oh, and, let's just say the boys were astounded and our two main male characters have this priceless expressions on their face.

Dismissal, outside the school...
"Aya! I love your song! It's the most beautiful song I have ever heard! I-" Miyu was gushing when Ran suddenly tapped her shoulder.
Aya was on the her cell phone, saying "Uh-uh" and "Right". Finally, she bid her caller goodbye.
Suddenly, Yuuya waved as someone behind Aya. They whipped around and saw Sayo, Masato, Naoki and Tatsuki.
Ran whispered to Miyu, "I don't think that song was meant for fun." Out loud, she yelled, "Yeah! Tatsuki's here! Let's shop!"
"Huh?" Aya said. "Oh Ran, I'm sorry, but I can't come. Bye!" And then she rushed off hastily, towards the park.
"Her behavior is weird..." Sayo said.
"I smell a mystery!" Masato replied.
"Let's go!" Naoki agreed.
So they followed Aya as the others went the opposite way.
-¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤-
Sayo, Masato and Naoki turned up in a park. It was not Scarlet Park ,but still a park. Reading the sign, it says, Takamura Park.
They saw Aya sitting in a bench, beside a flowerbed of hyacinths.
The children all thought, She seems like waiting for a date...
Suddenly, Naoki saw his brother and company pass the place they were hiding in. He called their attention and they spied too. Rei, who was with them, said, "I'm going home."
Suddenly, Masato exclaimed, "Look! That's guy heading for Aya!"
Rei stopped in his tracks as the other strained to see the guy. When all of them finally saw him, to put it lightly, the girls almost drooled and the guys were speechless.
A very handsome, tanned and blue-haired man was approaching Aya. He was apparently her age. He was wearing a black body-fitting long-sleeved outfit and jeans. On his left arm was a green jacket.
They saw him approach Aya, who was smiling, and thy walked off.
In their minds were the same thought, Aya's seeing a new guy!
-¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤-
"Suoh, I can't believe you will stay in our class until Friday!" Aya said while walking to a restaurant.
Suoh, her companion, responded, "Hai. It was President Nokoru's bidding to see how the school is functioning, since you were studying there."
"His, let's see... uncle, yeah, that's right, uncle! He owns the school right?"
"Hai."
They reached the restaurant, entered, and ordered. Finally, Aya continued, "So, how are they? I can't believe I'm still at the council even though I'm out of the school!"
"You are returning, am I right?"
"Hai! So how are they?"
"Fine. Nokoru is still who he is, as well as Akira."
"That is good news."
"Are you sure it is no trouble I will be staying at you home?"
Aya grinned. "Of course! There are many rooms to spare, you know."
Suoh then cast a sharp look to the left, where the glass that leads to the outside is and said, "They have been following us since we left the park."
Aya glanced too and replied, "I know. I can't believe Rei went with them."
Finally, their orders arrived and they began eating quietly.
-¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤--¤¤-
That night...
Rei was again lying on his bed, inside his dark room. He was confused, to put it lightly.
I thought I already concluded I well, er, whatever Ran... so, why am I interested in Aya's business? Goodness, this is so damn confusing... I compare Aya to Ran, and see in Ran positive ways... so what am I... ARGH!!!
And he fell asleep.
I forgot to mention, still confused. Maybe he'll feel like he have a hangover next morning, humans shouldn't think that much, we'll reach our brains capacity!
