Author's Notes: Yanagi is my character.

"Fine…but it will be complete if you were present". He realized his mistake. "But I know you had to see the doctor. So…you have…tuberculosis?"

"Slight tuberculosis! After a week or so it will be gone", Aya began. He smiled and hugged her.

"Arigatou Kami-sama!"

"H-Hey! I can't breathe!"

"Oh…sorry", Rei said as he let go of her. "By the way I was in HEAVEN today!"

"Really? Why?" they started walking and walked for home. Then Aya guessed. "Did something happen between you and Ran? Tell me!"

"Actually she talked to me saying about your health…true I was happy she talked top me but", Rei looked into her eyes and she looked at him. He was serious! "Eighty percent of it I was worried…"

"Oh…thank you. Well at least she talked to you", Aya said. He nodded.

"By the way Yuuya was also there", he added. He saw his best friend blush. "Somehow he was concerned…maybe".

"How can you say that?" Aya asked. She wanted to know about what Yuuya think about her. If he liked her too.

"Let's say…he doesn't want Ran to tell me you're sick!" he said sarcastically. She slapped his arm…slightly.

"Evil!"

"But you'll be present tomorrow…right?" Rei asked. There he goes again with that seriousness of his voice. She just couldn't understand him.

"I will! You don't have to worry!" Aya replied as she smiled. And he couldn't understand her also. For why she'll remain calm in situation like this.

"We're here", Rei began, looking at Aya's house. Then he turned to her. "See you tomorrow!"

"Right see you tomorrow", Aya also said as she went in to her house.

She had arrived in her classroom. And when she got there her classmates were surrounding her asking her if she's okay or whatsoever. Her face flushed and just nodded. Her eyes scan for him. And she saw him sitting on his chair. He signaled her to come to him. She nodded. She turned to her classmates and said an "Excuse me", as they let her pass. Finally she could breathe FREELY as she went to Rei. "The news spread SO quickly like a virus", Aya began as she put her back beside her chair, which is next to Rei, who is her seatmate.

"Yup! But you'll be okay…right?" Rei began. His best friend just smiled and nods her head. Then Ran and her company arrived.

"Hi Aya! How are you?" Ran asked. Rei and Aya's face flushed because Ran and Yuuya, their crushes, are standing in front of them.

"I-I'm fine. Thank you", Aya replied as she tries her best to STOP stammering.

"Sure?" Yuuya began.

"Sure", she replied as she clenched her fist because her face is REALLY red.

"Well at least Rei is there beside you Aya", Miyu began. That made her paused. Of course he's there for her. He is her best friend.

"Of course I'm always there for her. I'm her best friend", Rei said proudly.

"Rei do you know? That sometimes best friends are meant to be?" Ran began. Aya make a stand to that. If they only know whom they really liked they wouldn't say that.

"'Sometimes' only Ran. But Rei and I have another interests on other people".

"Oh I see…sorry about that", Ran said as she scratched her cheek, embarrassed.

"It's okay".

"See you later Rei and Aya!" Miyu said.

"See you!" the two said in unison. Rei hold her left hand firmly as she looked at him, shocked.

"Thanks for making a stand back there", Rei began. She smiled.

"If they only knew Rei…if they only knew".

It was Music time as the students were in their classroom. Their teacher hasn't arrived yet. And she forgot to drink her medicine that recess time. She gets her tablet and her bottled water, as Rei looked what she was doing. "So…is that your medicine? How does it taste?" Rei asked. Before she answered him she put her bottled water inside her bag and replied.

"It tastes bitter", Aya said then gave a slight laugh. "But I have to do this to get well".

"Yeah I know. I believe in you anyway". She gave a wry smile to his comment as their teacher finally went in.

"Class I have a project that I would like for you to do", Yanagi said as she placed her things on top of the table. "I want you to make a role play or band as your periodical exam". Murmurs and comments were heard but as she raised her right hand people quieted. "It's either you act, sing or make a band. And I will give you this week and next week to practice. But next week Wednesday you'll present okay? With your costumes!" the voices of the students became loud, as they were too excited of what to do.

"Aya, you and I can be a group. I mean you know how to compose a song and I know how to play the guitar", Rei began. Aya clapped her hands in delight.

"Wai! That's neat!" Aya exclaimed.

"Okay class! I'm giving you my class period to look for your group. In short choose your own group!" The students stood up and look for a group of their own. Ran, Miyu and Yuuya went over to Rei and Aya.

"Can we join you?" Ran asked.

"We plan as a band actually. Can you guys play some instruments?" Aya asked. The three nodded.

"I can play the electric guitar", Yuuya began.

"That's great! Yuuya and I will play the electric guitar!" Rei exclaimed happily that somebody was on his side.

"I'll play the drums!" Miyu said. The four looked at her…shocked. They quickly examined her 'sweet' look.

"Y-You…play the drums?" Ran asked. Miyu blinked her eyes, wondering what was the fuss for.

"Why is there a problem with that?" The blonde girl asked.

"Its un-lady like", Yuuya replied.

"Guys let her be. If Miyu wants to play the drums then let her be. Hey! It's not only male species can play the drums", Aya said. Rei and Yuuya blushed. "Anyways when are we going to start practicing?"

"We'll start tomorrow. We have to ask sense if its okay to use the music room", Ran replied. Rei was the one to suggest that.

"I'll ask her…now!" he said as he went to Ms. Yanagi.

"And what will I do?" Ran asked, pointing to herself.

"You'll be our singer", Aya replied.

"But I don't have a good voice!"

"That's okay just go with the flow".

"And how about you Aya?" Yuuya asked. She blushed.

"I don't know".

"Wrong you're going to compose a song since you're good at it", Rei interrupted.

"That's good. At least we have a composer!" Miyu exclaimed.

"And she'll also sing", her best friend added. She also blushed.

"Now I should be the one to say I don't have a good voice".

"Really?"

"Really, really". She turned to the group. "Anyways guys we'll just practice the instruments tomorrow while I compose a song".

"Sure Aya take you're time", Ran said.

"Rei, did sensei agree?" Aya added as she turned to him. He nodded. "Good. Every dismissal guys we'll practice in the music room. Okay?"

"Okay!"

"Okay dear students good luck. Goodbye and thank you", Yanagi said as she gets her things.

"Goodbye and thank you, Yanagi-sensei".

Aya was putting some of her things inside her locker. As she closed it she saw Rei, smiling. "You almost scared me!"

"Sorry. You're going home?" She nodded. "Then I'll walked you home".

"Arigatou. So you're kind of HEAVEN today now that Ran is in our group", Aya teased. Her best friend blushed.

"I'm so happy. Hey Aya you're going to sing right?" Rei asked. She didn't reply a while ago.

"Why do you always ask me that? You're CRUSH is going to sing! Don't you like that?" Aya asked back. He shook his head. She was confused. "N-Nanda yo?"

"I admit I'm happy Ran is in our group and that she'll also sing. But how the hell I'll be happy if my best friend is just a composer and sitting on a corner? You'll have no grade to that", Rei replied. Aya smiled on the kindness Rei is showing to her.

"Arigatou Rei. Okay then I'll sing for you".

"Yey! Arigatou too Aya!" Rei exclaimed as he hugged her as Aya chuckled.

That night until the next day Aya was composing their song. Well she also made her assignments. And when classes started she'll secretly get her notebook and continue the song that she's making. Until dismissal time Aya and the others were in the music room practicing the instruments. Aya was just sitting on a chair at the very back. "Hey Aya! Why won't you stop for a while! It's been whole morning you're making that song!" Rei said. Aya ignored him. After a little while she looked at them.

"Did you say something?" everyone sweat dropped.

"I said stop making the lyrics for a while before you'll have a headache". The other chuckled. "Well?"

"I'll finish this. Just practice the instruments", Aya said as she thought for a next line to the song.
