Chapter 3
"I-Iyada, gomen nasai!" Nanami said and pushed Eiichi away from her and started to walk towards the front door, as she was going to open it Eiichi came from behind her and pinned her on the door.
"Why?" He said while slowly go down towards Nanami's face.
"A-Ano... I-It's really an h-honor on becoming your composer but..." She stuttered and was frantic on grabbing the door knob, when she finally grasp the knob she turned it and Eiichi fell down to the ground. Then suddenly a band played a wedding tune and this made Nanami look up and see that there's a wedding reception in front of her house.
"Wha-?!"
"Ne ne Eiichi, did she say yes?" A small boy with pink hair went towards the fallen Eiichi on the ground.
"No matter how many times you ask me Eiichi-san my answer is still NO!" Nanami shouted and then slammed the door. The band stopped playing and the people are starting to pack up and clean up the place.
"Ah ah, you got rejected again Eiichi." The boy with pink hair grinned at Eiichi.
"Damare Nagi." He said and stand up from the ground and glared at Nagi.
"She's really different." Kira said and standing beside Eiichi.
"Why still pursue her? When you have so many girls around here Eiichi." Van said.
"Umm... Are you okay Eiichi-niisan?" Eiji said.
"Tsk. Like that would make me to stop. Ah I'm fine." He replied.
"The stars haven't guided you at the right time yet, Eiichi." Shion said calmly.
"Ah ah, what are you going to do now Eiichi?" Nagi said.
"Of course isn't it obvious, I'll still get her to be my composer and wife."
"But how?"
"Let's talk about that at the usual place, she might still hear us." Eiichi said while looking at the house.
'Soon I'll have you to say yes for me, Nanami Haruka.' Eiichi thought and his eye glasses glistened and the seven of them went away from the house.
-Meanwhile with Nanami-
"Hmm..." She peeked at the window to look if Eiichi and his gang are still there.
"I wonder how obaa-chan is doing at her trip." She sighed as she went to the piano and touched the piano keys and silently looked at the window.
'My songs really won't fit with that kind of character. And now not only he wants me to be his composer but a wife as well?! Such a persistent yet arrogant person.' She thought.
*bang bang bang*
"Ah who could it be this time?" Nanami said and went to the front door then peeped through the peephole and saw the coachman of her grandmother who was breathing heavily and has some bruise marks on his arm, she quickly opened the door and said,
"You're my obaa-chan's coachman! What happened to you?!"
"Y-You're Haruka-san right..."
"Hai! What happened did something happened to my obaa-chan?!" She exclaimed.
"While we were on our way to the fair, w-we suddenly crossed a two-path and your grandmother s-said that she remembers a short cut, so we used that path but then your grandmother made a stopover when she saw a giant castle with withered sunflowers, she went inside and tried to pick one that's not withered yet, I assisted her because the castle looks haunted and then a man with red hair and marks on his body shouted at us. H-He grabbed your grandmother and dragged her inside the castle and he sent out a pack of wolves. I- I manage to escape, I still manage to hear your grandmother's voice telling me to get help from you. I-I'm sorry I wasn't able to help her." The coachman told the whole story to Nanami who was in shock.
"B-But I don't know anyone on the higher ups to get help."
"You're the girl that Eiichi is trying to ask to be his composer right? Why not ask him since he is rich and famous in this town." He replied.
"..."
"Haruka-san?"
"Ah... Let me take you to the infirmary first it's the least I could do for you. And I'll think about what you said." She said and assisted the injured coachman.
"You're so kind Haruka-san. Arigatou gozaimasu." He replied and the both of them went to the town infirmary to tend the wounds of the coachman.
-At night-
"What should I do?" Nanami said to herself while sitting on her bed and hugging a Piyo-chan stuffed toy.
"Obaa-chan..." She saw her picture with her grandmother and both of them are smiling.
-Silence-
"I'm going to save you obaa-chan." She said with determination on her face and she grabbed a knapsack and packed necessary things including the Piyo-chan stuffed toy and then after packing she stared at the photo again and grabbed and put it inside her knapsack. She looked out of her house to see if there are people going around, with that done she went out and locked her house both front, back and the door to the underground so that no one can enter. She looked at her house one last time and went to their stable together her horse and left the house.
-An hour later-
"This must be the two-path that the coachman said." Nanami said.
-Silence-
"Ah! I forgot to ask the coachman which one was the shortcut! D-Doshiyou!" She frantic look at both paths and then suddenly a flock of crow flew towards her coming from the left side and she gasped at the sight and duck her head until all of them are gone.
"I guess we should go this way then, it looks scary though but we have to go to that castle."
-Another hour later-
"This is it. The haunted castle with sunflowers." She muttered as she stopped in front of the gate of the castle. The castle is so huge and leave off a scary aura, the statues that are on the roof looked like devils and gargoyles, the windows are closed with deep colored curtains. But when you look at the entrance of the castle there are patches of withered sunflowers and the trees there doesn't have any more leaves, looks like it is well taken care off but it doesn't give much of happy feeling because of the castle. Nanami took a deep breath before going down her horse and tied it on a tree and she said while patting it,
"Don't worry we will be right back." Then she opened the gate that made a small creak sound and walk towards the huge front door. She reached the door and opened it and stuttered,
"O-Obaa-chan... Can you hear me?" She walked slowly inside the castle and slightly closed the door behind her.
Nanami has entered the castle main hall there were many door on the first floor, a huge door at the center of the staircase, it has a left and right wing staircase. She chose to go to the left side of the staircase first. The main hall doesn't have much light so Nanami was very careful on her footsteps.
"Oya oya, don't you think she might be the one?" A whispering voice said.
"Be quiet Jinguji. We might not know, she must be the granddaughter of the old lady that the master has brought in hours ago." Another whispering voice replied.
"Did you see that girl?!" Another voice exclaimed excitedly.
"Maa maa, Ren-san, Masato-san and Syo-san we will not know if she might break the curse." A female voice said to the other three.
"That's what I told them Shibuya-san." Masato sighed.
"Why don't we follow her then?" Ren suggested and the four of them followed Nanami in the shadows.
