Chapter # 1: The Note
"Calm down Shu. All you have to do is go inside and hand him the note. That's all. You don't have to sit and talk to him for hours on end. Nothing like that. Just go in, hand him the note and walk back out." The redhead tried to encourage the singer who stood before him.
"Hiro, you don't get it! I can't!" Shuichi whined slightly staring at the big double doors at the end of the hall.
"Yes you can! Common Shu! I know you can do this!" Hiro encouraged.
"I-I can't! What if he makes me stay back and talk to him!"
Hiro rolled his eyes in all his annoyance. Just then, Sakano came around.
"Sakano! Come here a minute!" Hiro called. He held his hand behind his back for the note. Shuichi gladly handed it to him. Sakano walked over,
"What is it Hiro?"
"Can you be a pal and deliver this to Tohma?"
"Uhm…"
Hiro shoved the envelope into Sakano's hand,
"Gee, thanks Sakano. Common Shu! Let's go down to that little café!"
"Uhm, ok…"
Hiro grabbed hold of Shuichi's wrist, dragging him away, leaving a very confused looking Sakano standing with a note in his hand.
Sakano looked down at the white envelope. On the front of it, it read Tohma's name. Plain and simple. It was sealed off with a sticker that was shaped out like a heart. Sakano stared in utter disbelief.
