Chapter 3 - Jealous Much?

Kahoko was walking through the music department, she was going to practice, but somehow, she just felt uncomfortable with eyes staring at her as she pass, she sighed, "This is what I get for entering that commercial,"

Having her background checked and all. Now more percent of the school know's about her violin playing. "The General Student playing the violin." It's truly a bother, but she enjoyed the photo shoot a lot....

"Hino-san," approached a guy in the uniform of the musical department.

"Ah," said Kahoko, "Another guy I don't know who's talked to me today," thought Kahoko.

"Um," said the guy, it was obvious that he was nervous. Kahoko had a vauge idea already about what he was going to say.

"Excuse me, you're in my way," said a cool voice.

Kahoko looked behind the guy, "Ts-tsukimori-kun!"

"Hino-san?" said Len, surprised.

"A-ah, never mind then," said the guy leaving, seeing the famous prodigy giving him a cold look.

"Tsukimori-kun," sighed Kahoko with relief, "You saved me, thanks," said Kahoko.

"Saved you?" asked Len, then he remembered what he told Amou, he blushed slightly but Kahoko wasn't able to see that, "Whatever," said Len, then he walked passed Kahoko.

"Tsukimori-kun?" called Kahoko.

Len stopped walking but he did not look back, he started thinking to himself, "Did Amou-san…? No she couldn't…" he braced himself for whatever Kahoko was about to say.

"Never mind," she said.

"If you have nothing to say, don't waste my time," snapped Len, walking away, though deep inside he felt relief.

Kahoko just stared at him, until he disappeared into a music room.

Len leaned on the door as he closed it, he ran his fingers through his hair as usual when he is frustrated, "Why do I always lose my cool when she's around?" he sighed, "I'm useless," then he opened his violin case, he opened his window a bit. After that, he started playing the first piece that came to his mind, 'Ave Maria'.

He could still remember the time he played it and Kahoko praised his playing with an utterly honest truth. He could remember the time he heard her first play it and the time they had a duet together during an excursion.

He closed his eyes and let his bow and fingers play the piece he had learned to love so much.

He finished the piece after a while but he decided to play it again until he could understand the feeling building inside of him. Suddenly he heard a soft tune joining; it was a familiar playing… "Hino-san's music," he noted, it came from the other room, and he was sure the window was opened too.

After playing, he placed his violin down and opened his eyes, and then he heard her voice from the other room's window, "Waaah! That was great Tsukimori-kun!" exclaimed Kahoko.

He didn't bother to talk to her, he just smiled to himself silently, "That was great Kahoko!" said a female voice.

The voice gave Len a goose bump, Amou was there with Kahoko. He sighed and starts to practice the new piece he was going to play during his parents' concert this coming week.

"A-Ah!" said Amou from the other room, "Did you know that Tsukimori-kun-"

Len missed a note and played the wrong one. His eyes widen. 'What was Amou-san about to say?'

"What about Tsukimori-kun?" asked Kahoko.

"Nothing, nothing." Then she laughed evilly.

'She's giving me mental tortures,' sighed Len.

Then someone knocked on Kahoko's room, "Oh. Come in, ah! Tsuchiura-kun!" said Kahoko.

Len stopped playing for a while and sat down, again, he couldn't help eavesdropping.

Amou grinned to herself secretly 'fuu fuu fuu, Tsukimori-kun stopped playing, I bet he's listening in.' "Um, I'll leave you two lovebirds here, I'm disturbing your privacy, bye-bye," said Amou.

"Ah!" said Kahoko.

"Thanks," said Ryoutaro, giving Amou a grateful look.

"No problem," winked back Amou.

When Amou left Kahoko looked at Ryoutaro with questions in her eyes, Ryoutaro sighed.

"Have you thought about it?" he asked.

Kahoko blushed a bit and shook her head, "It could be because I'm scared," she whispered.

"Scared? Oh, you think that…"

"If it doesn't work out…is one of it, and if I really feel that way about you is another," she said unable to talk above a whisper.

"I see, oh you were playing a duet with him a while ago right? Ave Maria?" commented Ryoutaro pointing to the other room.

"Ah! You heard?" said Kahoko.

"Yeah, amazing though…" said Ryoutaro.

"a-amazing?" asked Kahoko.

"Never mind, let's play something together," said Ryoutaro sitting at the piano.

"How was that…Tsu-ki-mo-ri-kun!" said Amou as Len left the room. She had been waiting outside his room, ready to ambush him with questions, and no doubt threaten him if he doesn't comply.

"Amou-san!" said Len, surprised, yet regained a cool composure immediately.

Click.

Amou took a picture of Len, "hm, a surprised Len, well this would be new," said Amou, taking out the photo and shaking it to dry out immediately, she gave herself a congratulatory smile.

"Amou-san, until when are you going to bother me?" asked Len.

"Until you confess to her." Said Amou bluntly.

Len blushed slightly, "That's not going to happen," he said walking away.

"Tsukimori-kun!" called Amou, chasing after him.

Len rolled his eyes, 'here we go again'.

Kahoko was surrounded by a lot of male lately, they were asking her to be their accompanist for an event or something…well anyway, Len was passing by when he saw the crowd, he said he wouldn't care but he couldn't help it, seems like jealousy got into the way, "I'm sorry, but Hino-san will be accompanying me during my parents' concert," said Len.

Everyone stared at Len, clearly surprised that the prodigy would pick a young amateur for an important role, and what's more, choose a non-Music student for that task.

"Tsukimori-kun?!" said Kahoko surprised.

"Right Hino-san?" said Len, eyeing her to go along.

"Ah…y-yes that's right," said Kahoko.

"Oh, is that so, well too bad," said one of the male.

Later everyone disappeared Len and Kahoko were left alone, Len ran his fingers through his hair again 'Why did I have to create this mess, how am I going to explain this to mother,' he thought.

"T-thank you again," said Kahoko, interrupting his inner turmoil.

Len looked at her, and sighed, "So I guess we should start practicing, unless you want them to approach you again," said Len.

"Tsukimori-kun," said Kahoko.

"What?"

"Why did you save me? Again?"

"It's nothing of your concern," he said walking.

"Wait for me," said Kahoko, somehow, she didn't realize, she was already smiling.
