The next day, at the academy, Kahoko was busy practicing her violin on the rooftop of the academy. While she was practicing, she heard someone coming her way.

Kahoko: Oh Azuma, it's you. (in annoyance)

Kahoko was never comfortable being alone with Azuma.

Azuma: Aren't you glad to see me, my sweet? (pretending to be hurt)

Kahoko: What are you doing here?

Azuma: I could say the same for you.

Kahoko: I was practicing my violin.

Azuma: So that explains the horrible sound I heard earlier. ( sounding cold)

Kahoko: Was it really that horrible? I thought I improved since the last time I played.

Azuma: Oh really? I guess I didn't notice.

Kahoko: (sighed) Look, Azuma. I don't mean to be rude, but will you leave? I'm trying to practice before lunch break is over.

Azuma: You forgot say please.

Kahoko: Please? (trying to be polite)

Azuma: Let me think. ( pretending to think) Um... no.

Kahoko: Oh c'mon. You asked me to say please.

Azuma: Yes but I didn't say I would surely say yes once you do

Kahoko: Can you just leave me alone? Pretty please? (begging)

Azuma: Why should I? I thought you wanted to be with me?

Kahoko: (embarrassed) Who said that?

Azuma: (leaning closer) I did.

Kahoko was getting nervous. They were so close to each other that their faces were only a few inches apart.

Kahoko: (turning away) Well, it's not true.

Azuma: Oh is it?

Kahoko: ( blushing) Y-yes. You can't just spread untrue things things about us, you know.

Azuma: (looking at her directly in the eyes) Why not?

Kahoko: W-well it's not r-right.

Azuma: (feeling amused) I do know something though.

Kahoko: W-what?

Azuma: I guess I just have to make that statement into a fact.

Azuma leaned closer to Kahoko until their lips were nearly touching. Kahoko became nervous. She was really flustered. Suddenly, Azuma let out a chuckle.

Azuma: Just kidding. (muttering) Or am I?

Kahoko: ( embarrassed) A-Azuma, I think I better be going now.

Azuma: Of course. ( smiling)

Once school is over, instead of heading towards one of the music rooms like he usually does, Azuma immediately headed outside of the academy. The car was already waiting for him at the gate. As he went out , he was greeted by screams of his fangirls. He was soon surrounded by them. Azuma really wanted to go home but he did his best to entertain them. He merely bid them goodbye while smiling and all of his fangirls started to swoon. Azuma quickly made his way to the car. Once he got in, he told the driver to go.

Azuma: What a tiring day.

On the way, he passed Kahoko who was walking with her friends Mio and Nao. He normally would have invited, or in his case, dragged her inside the car to send her home but today he decided not to bother her. He chuckled as he remembered their little 'moment' that morning.

Azuma: (chuckled) Oh Kahoko. She never ceased to amaze me. I just can't seem to get enough of her. Now I wished I could invite her to the dance though.

His grandmother had suggested or in her case forced Azuma to invite Ayano to the dance. Azuma tried to protest but he knew he couldn't. Her reason was " You need to strengthen the bond with your future fiancee. The previous incident involving that girl

Kahoko was nearly unforgivable. So you need to make it up for her by inviting her to the dance. I'm willing to forget that incident if you this." Azuma merely smirked at that statement. Mentally of couse. If his grandmother caught him smirking at her he wouldn't receive the end of it. As usual, he obeyed his grandmother.

Azuma: Tch, someday I'm not gonna follow her orders anymore. She can't rule my life forever.

Azuma knew that one day, he can't do anything he wants without having to follow his grandmother's orders. He wished that day will come soon.
