Erik sighed as he looked through the music on his desk, sometimes it sucked being a college music teacher, the students always wanted to do the easy stuff, like Disney songs. Honestly, they were like little kids, though when he said no they knew he meant it. Even though he knew most of them were scared because of the half mask he always wore, his face was burned in a fire when he was younger.

He blinked as his door was opened, he glanced at the clock, class didn't start for another twenty minutes. He blinked when his eyes caught sight of a young woman he had never seen before. She was small, Asian he briefly noted, and had long black hair that set off her pale skin, but it was her bright blue eyes and the cheery smile on her face that he noticed the most.

He smiled at her, she must be a new student.

"Can I help you miss…" He trailed off not knowing her name. He smiled lightly as she blushed in embarrassment and bowed to him.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! My name is Kagome, Kagome Higurashi and I am a new transfer student…I just wanted to come in early and well…figure out what I'm getting into." She smiled lightly and brushed some hair behind her ear.

He nodded and mentioned for her to take a seat as he ruffled through some papers on his desk, looking for the current music his class was working on. She nodded and took a seat, the one closet to his desk, which was always open, and set her yellow bag down on the top of the desk and leaned her head on it, waiting for him to find what he needed, and judging by the mess on his desk it would be a while.

He resisted the urge to blush as he dug through the pile of papers on his desk, when had his desk become so messy? He grumbled under his breath as he looked though the papers and pulled out random sheets of music. He knew when his desk had become so messy, it was two months ago when his girlfriend dumped him for her childhood friend. After that he threw himself in to his work, and well, here he was now.

He shook his head to clear his thoughts as he looked through the small stack of music in his hands and nodded. This was everything, to date that they were working on. He smiled as he walked the few feet to her desk and handed her the papers as she sat up. He honestly expected her to groan or moan about it, his class did but he was surprised when her eyes lit up with excitement.

"Oh! This is going to be fun! I've always wanted to do this piece. Sadly everyone else always wanted to do Disney and well they always won." He couldn't help the smile that broke across his face, it seemed he had just found his favorite student.

He nodded as he walked over her to point our certain things about the piece they were working on and grinned more as she smiled up at him in excitement. Oh, yes, he had found his favorite student and…if things went well a very good friend and, he blushed lightly, if things went extremely well, a new love.
