Here we go:
a few days later
It was the day, the day they were to perform, the big day had arrived and soon Kōusei and Kaori, not seen on stage together since that disastorous performance all those years ago, now they will be playing together once again, this time in front of thousands of people.
They both walked onto the stage in excitement, Kaori noticed Kōusei had changed since that performance, for one he no longer had fear of the music, instead he was played by emotions, but more accurate, however it felt more free than when his mother had taught him.
They both played 1812 Overture and they played it well, it sounded epic and the crowd roared in their favour, not only that, but it turned out the entire Royal Woods High Eagles fan base had turned up and cheered Kaori on as well as many others including the Louds, Watari, Sherry , Charlie and Elizabeth
They ended up winning the competition easily and soon they were soon paraded as musical heroes in Michigan, However Kaori did have a different goal in mind
Win a State title in her final season as a Royal Woods High Eagle
She had the American Football scholarship, she needed which was at the University of Miami and Kōusei agreed to be dragged along in order to start a family with her, Charlie and Elizabeth. But despite all this she wanted one last title as an Eagle after 2 years of it being taken away due to circumstances and injuries.
During that summer Kaori turned 18 and she spent the whole summer, working out, physical exercises as well as nagging Kōusei on piano which was her speciality, she also did private training with Lynn Loud Jr who had promoted to starting running back for the Eagles.
Kaori had to miss the 1st game of the season due to the concussion protocol which was a hard fought win against the North Michigan Wolfpack with young Backup QB Liam Fox proving to be the perfect replacement for Kaori when Kaori leaves High School.
Kaori then prepared for her first game back into American football again after nearly a year , it was against the North Valley Stars, the team who she played American Football against in her first ever game
Kaori had gotten her gear on early, ready when Kōusei approached her
"Good Luck Kaori, Just don't get hurt" said Kōusei
"I won't get hurt, Not this time" said Kaori confidently
"You never know" said Kōusei worryingly
"You were always such a worry wart" said Kaori
"And you were always so stubborn" said Kōusei
"I'm never stubborn" said Kaori
"Yeah Right" said Kōusei
"What did you say" said Kaori in a slightly threatening tone
"Nothing" said Kōusei
"Thats what I thought, anyway do you think I will win" said Kaori
"Yeah, Maybe by 60 points" said Kōusei
"I can try that Kōusei, it may be a challenge" said Kaori
"that's the sprit, I believe you can do it, I love you" said Kōusei
"Love you too" said Kaori
Not long after Kaori went back in the changing room for team talk and then went out on the field
