Me: I wanted to write this chapter as a dedication to Yiruma's composition. Oh my God, I love his music I really, really, really, recommend you hearing few of his music. Like Time Forgets, River Flows in You, Moonlight, Dreams, Wait There and so much more. I love, love his music. I will one day try to play like him, it's my new goal in life…by the way for the next couple/few chapters expect some more Yiruma music

Kazuo Higurashi has always been an outcast. A loner. He always hides his eyes beyond his bangs that were always being swept to the side. He has black-rimmed glasses that made him cute yet nerdy at the same time. He never spoke a word, but he's an intelligent young lad, quite good-looking too if it wasn't for his quiet attitude and the fact that he hides his eyes from everyone he would tons of girls lining up to him.
For those qualities, he's always being picked on, but he never did lift a finger to stop it or say a word. His main bullies are, I guess you could say are heirs or future guardians for Mafia Famiglias. Like Byakuran, Xanxus, Belphegor, Mukuro, Gokudera, and Hibari. There are a lot more, but I really don't want to list them.
Tsuna, Yamamoto, Dino, Ryohei, Enma, Chrome, Kyoko, Haru, and Basil never really did anything to stop them really. They felt sorry, yes, but they just couldn't bring themselves to stand up against them.
Haru, Kyoko, and Chrome were walking to their class when they saw Mukuro and Byakuran harassing Kazuo yet again.
"Why do you wear those nerdy glasses of yours, Kazuo?" Mukuro taunted.
"…"
"Still quiet?" Mukuro took Kazuo's glasses and raised it up in the air where they watched amusedly Kazuo reaching for them.
Before any violence can come up, Chrome quickly put a stop to it, "Mukuro-nii, Hibari-san is looking for you for a battle and saying you can't beat him."
"Xanxus-sempai is looking for you too Byakuran-sempai," Kyoko added.
Mukuro and Byakuran looked pissed and ran away to face two more of Kazuo's bullies and dropping Kazuo's glasses along the way.
Haru shook his head and quickly picked up the glasses with the two girls following her. She handed it to Kazuo who was looking at her quizzically, "Here," she said softly.
Kazuo nodded and took it from her delicately. He brushed his bangs out of his face for a split second then put it on before combing his bangs back to where they belong which was covering his eyes. This happen in only a couple of seconds, he sent them a small smile before going on his way.
The three girls were frozen on the ground they couldn't believe what they just saw. No, not the smile, they meant his eyes. They were the most beautiful shade of blue they ever saw even if they just got a glimpse of it. It left them wondering why someone with a pair of beautiful eyes would hide them, but they waved it away since the bell just rung.
The three entered their class and saw Kazuo on the way back by the window. Ignoring the world as usual. Even if the kids here bully Kazuo the teachers doesn't. Actually they were the only ones who's nice to him even Verde and Reborn are nice to him and that's a shock to everyone.
The nice boys from the mafia(first years) arrived and saw Kazuo as well and felt guilt, sadness, and anger overwhelmed them. Kazuo doesn't deserve the treatment he's been receiving from the others. Yes, he's quiet, but he's really nice and kind. They sighed and let it go unless they actually grew some backbone they couldn't say anything. They are as bad as the others.
The day lagged on for Kazuo. Bullies of course pestered him all day long and he didn't do a damn thing about it. Sometimes he thinks it is better if he just ended his life once and for all then he remembers his little brother and his mom. A small smile appeared on his face when he was walking through the hallways and yet again for the second time of the day, his admirers, I mean stalkers, no, spectators and bullies stood there frozen at the serene smile that appeared on the silent teen's face.
Xanxus annoyed that the trash is smiling about something grabbed hold of his collar and slammed him on the wall, "What are you smiling about, scum?" he spat out.
The smile was completely wiped off and an annoyed scowl replaced it.
Somehow they were mad at Xanxus for ridding of the smile and the teen himself has to hold himself from frowning even more when he saw the scowl on Kazuo's face.
Hibari appeared out of nowhere, "Your hair is violation against the rules," the scissors in his hand ready to shorten his bangs.
They practically saw Kazuo's eyes widened at that as he starts to struggle, "L-Let me go," Kazuo suddenly spoke surprising everyone. Kazuo took that chance to escape and ran away.
When they all snapped out of their stupor, they chased the boy. Curious where he's heading and who was he thinking about when he smiled.
Hours upon hours, they looked for him throughout all the school and found no trace of him. They all thought he probably went home. They were heading home too until they heard the sounds of piano being played (Listen to Kiss the Rain or Love Me by Yiruma). It was beautiful and emotional that they have to see who is playing.
All of them, Kazuo's bullies and supporters(the nice kids), met somehow near the music room and was even surprised when they saw the eight famous teachers in the school, the Arcobalenos. They were all huddled by the door, peaking in. Careful not to be seen by the person playing.
"Reborn-sensei?" Tsuna asked.
They all turned to them at once, "Sshh!"
Now they are more curious, they turned to look and saw Kazuo on the piano stool playing the song. He has this peaceful expression and a serene smile. From what they could see since he has his back towards them.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Colonnello whispered.
The teens nodded.
Skull has a happy and dreamy face on, "I caught him playing the piano one day and ever since then I'm always here to listen for more."
"And we followed Skull why he's always going to the music room after school and heard it. We fell in love and it became a tradition," Luce told them.
"Does Kazuo-kun know that you're always here?" Kyoko asked softly.
The teachers shook their heads, "We always hide after he plays and he's really shy so if he sees people watching him play, he'll stop and selfish as it sounds we really don't want him too," Viper explained.
The teachers and students continued to watch the quiet and shy boy play and they let out an involuntary smile when they saw his lips twitch in a small smile. It looks like he's having fun.
When the song comes to an end, Kazuo let his finger linger on the keys. Probably thinking on what he's going to play next, but Enma accidently let out a sneeze.
The spectators stiffened when they saw Kazuo whirled towards them quickly and for once sans for the three girls they caught the glimpse of his eyes except this time his bangs stayed revealing his sapphire blue orbs. Their breaths got caught in their throat similarly to what Chrome, Kyoko, and Haru had done.
"H-Hi," Enma stuttered.
Kazuo quickly got up to pack and rushed out, but Dino stopped him by grabbing his hand.
The younger teen looked up to a pair of chocolate brown eyes before breaking the contact quickly and pulling his hand back.
"Wait, Kazuo!" They ran after him and the bullies went on a different way.
When Kazuo was out of the school, he let out a squeak when the people who bully him dropped in front of him high up from the building.
"Where are you going?" Byakuran smiled.
Kazuo tried to get past them.
"Uh, uh, uh," Mukuro tutted, "we want to talk to you. How come you didn't tell us that you have such a talent?"
Kazuo finally had enough and spoke, "Because we're not friends! I'm sick of you guys bullying me and I really don't know why you guys are. Just because how I look or how scrawny I am doesn't mean I'm different. I'm still human and I still have feelings, but I guess you douche bags don't since you constantly pick on people! Not everything revolves around you just because you're all in the mafia. My talent is only mine to share not for YOU asses to find out. When I finally have at least a piece of heaven in this hell hole of a school you jerks have to ruin it for me. You selfish, egotistical bastards! Go die in a hole and if not at least leave me the fuck alone! " he finished his rant with a bit of his tears welling up in his eyes before running away.
The rest were shocked at how long he was talking and at how much hate he was glaring at all of them save for the teachers. Now they felt really bad for their actions and wished that they could make it up to him somehow.
The teachers saw how guilty they look and turned to Luce and Reborn who both sighed. They handed Hibari a piece of paper, "We trust you to use this information wisely," they told him before the teachers goes back to work.
They all peeked at the paper and saw what they actually needed for making up to Kazuo.
Kazuo's address.
