Kibou Yami- Thanks for the review, I hope my reply didn't confuse you more. Like I said, if you still don't understand what I was trying to portray through that sentence, just feel free to send me an email or something along those lines .
DazzleMeRose- Thanks for your review :D I hope you have fun where ever you are going and catch some sun ;). I'll try my best to get the chapters out as soon as I can…but I'll have to wait for some inspiration so it'll be excellently written for the readers.
GSandM- Is this both of you girls? Well yeah…I hope you enjoyed the recently written chapter and I hope that my…writing will eloquently please you (two). Keep on reading ;)!
SailorMelina- At first I was hesitant to write this story…but the idea kept nagging at me so I couldn't stop myself from typing it out. After a few readings I thought that I should post this up and see the kind of reaction I would receive. I didn't want to write following the storyline of the anime or manga because I was scared that I wouldn't get the right feeling out to the readers. So this was the best I could do and I'm glad that you are enjoying it
Stat-fallingdreams- Thank you for reading the story. I think the point of view I took on could only be described as a "Holden point of view" from The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger…except Kahoko isn't as…shall we say confused as Holden was. Thank you so much for the compliments and I hope you enjoy the rest of the story.RequiemElise- I'm glad that you see it as unique, thank you so much. I'll keep on writing and you'll keep on reading. Deal?
I do not own La Corda D'oro or any of the characters. Just the storyline.
I slid through the large oak doors of the library and made my way to the farthest corner of the room. Since I started going to Seiso last year, I was able to realize that many of the students liked to stick to the center of the library because they were able to socialize there. At least this one place would be deserted for sur—
"Uh…"
Looking down at the table I frequently occupied, I found myself looking at a sleeping boy. When I saw his hair…his blond hair…I felt a tremor run down my spine.
"L—Lili…?"
Could this be Lili? Was it possible that he was one of the new first years? If Lili were here…he would be a music student, but would he be sleeping? This could be the Lili that I've been looking for all of these years…I could have just found him right this moment. But…why don't I feel happy? Why am I just looking at this boy…I should be hugging him and squealing in glee. Why is this my reaction?
"Hmmm…What time is it?"
His sleepy and calm voice broke through my questioning and as I watched him yawn once more…I realized that there wasn't any way possible that this was Lili. Lili was a hyper little boy that would have grabbed me by now, but this one just looked at me, blinking.
"Um…who are you?"
"Kahoko Hino…are you okay?"
"Sleepy…"
"Do you want to go the nurses office?"
"No…it's relaxing…here."
He yawned again.
"Uh…"
"My name is…Keiichi Shimizu..."
"Nice to meet you Shimizu-kun…but are you sure you are okay?"
"Hmmm…just…tired."
He yawned again.
I couldn't help but wonder how many times he would yawn throughout our conversation. Or at least…I would call it a conversation. We are speaking to each other…just at a very slow pace.
"Where…are we?"
He didn't even bother to look around, he just stared at me with droopy, teal eyes. I could tell he wanted to sleep again.
"We're in the library Shimizu-kun."
"Really?"
"Don't you remember going in here?"
"I needed a book…"
"What book was it?"
"Melodies…"
"Melodies?"
"Melodies…of Famous Music."
"Oh…were you able to find it?"
"I don't remember…"
"Well what's that book you were resting on?"
"It's this…"
"This?"
"The book…"
"The book?"
"I was looking for."
"Well…he…he…"
It was…a grueling conversation, but Shimizu-kun seems like a nice person. He looks so tiny sitting there…I just want to pick him up and put him in my pocket so I could have him around me forever!
"Senpai…"
"Shimizu-kun?"
"I'm…going to go…"
"I'll talk to you later Shimizu-kun and be careful! Don't fall asleep on the sidewalk!"
"Yes…bye senpai…"
He slowly got off the chair and organized his books. If he was in the general-ed program…I don't think he would pass the physical education part. If he walks like this…I wonder how he would run…or if he could at all.
"Uh…do you need any help Shimizu-kun?"
"No…thank you senpai…I'm okay…"
"Okay…be careful."
"Yes…thank you…"
He shuffled his feet towards the door and I heavily through myself down into the chair behind me…only to meet the floor instead. Although that boy is slow, he still has the manners to push in a chair…but just at the wrong time. As I stood up I could feel painful shocks run through my butt.
"That is so going to leave a mark…"
As I sat down this time, I made sure the chair was where it should be…right under my butt. Just as I got comfortable…the bell rang and I could only stare dumbly at the clock. Why? Why now? Is the world against me?
After my dramatic thoughts, I slowly made my way towards class. Even if I rushed, I would be late anyway…so why bother? I could actually take my time and admire the paintings that hung on the walls and the halls that were once so full and now so empty. Looking at one particular painting, I saw the face of the creator of Seiso. He looked like a happy man…one that appreciated music. I had heard once that he used to travel around the world to search for music prodigies. He truly loved music…he loved it so much that he created this school for us. They had even said no one could stop him from making the school, once he decided on it…he put all his heart and blood into it. His children even apply themselves into making Seiso a place that people yearn to go to.
"I wonder…what his sons look like…"
"Why wonder if you can actually meet them?"
With my heart thumping against my chest, I turned around to see a dark haired man with piercing ruby eyes.
"Well maybe not all…but at least one."
"Huh?" Not the most intelligent word in my vocabulary…but it would have to do.
"Didn't you want to know what Kira-sama's sons looked like?"
"I was only wondering sir."
"You have your answer right in front of you."
"Huh?" There I go again…is there something wrong with my speech skills today?
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Kira Akihiko."
"Kira Akihiko?! You're the son of the Kira-sama's family?!"
"Do we not look alike?"
Kira-san stood next to the painting and posed just like the creator did with his own flair. I couldn't believe my eyes…but they had the same characteristics…
"I'm sorry to rush off like this and leave you standing here confused. But I have important meetings to attend to. It was nice meeting you, I hope to see you again."
My brain hurts. It really does. I've had enough with today…meeting so many new people and they're not normal! They confuse me more than my best friends do and that's a big feat. One's loquacious, the other is arrogant, he's a total sleepy head, and this one talks to me out of the blue and then rushes off. Maybe I should have rushed off to class instead of taking it slow…CLASS! I'm late for class!
