Chapter 9

"One...Two...Three..."

Mio watched from the corner of her eye the way he banged away and started the beat, did he already know the songs? she looked at the others to see them trying to complement the beat. Mio recognised the song after Yui entered and soon after Mugi,
Azusa seemed a bit off but tired her best. She then entered and stared to sing, even though she didn't really want to.

"Please don't say you were lazy
Datte hontou wa crazy
Hakouchoutashi wa SO
Mienai tokorode bataashi surundesu"

Her voice echoed throughout the room and she blushed knowing someone would be grinning like an idiot right now. This song really did reminder of Ritsu and wondered why Riku knew this song. Her fingers dance on the fret board and strings, she closed her Eyes mesmerized by the song and the felling of playing again. Yui smiled happily and looked at Mugi and Azusa doing the same. Sawako felt strange wasn't because the girls were playing so beautifully? she watched Riku closely as the boy fought his desire to rock out and possibly breaking his sticks and drums.

"Honnou ni jyuujyun jyuujitsu
Honrou mo jyuujyuu shouchi
Zentou youyou dashi
Dakara tamani kyuukei shichaun desu

Chiakimichi areba sorega oudou
Bashoreru tsubasa mo areba jyoudou"

Ricchan could see their Auras combine into one and shined brighter than before, it was if each member had let their souls do the playing as one whole person. They complmented eachother perfectly,letting their hearts beat as one. The angel smiled and flew around them creating a golden glow to enhance their playing and Aura's.


"Yabai tsume wareta
Glue de boshu shita
Soredake nanka tasseikan
Daiji nano wa jibun kawaigaru koto
Jibun wo aisanakya hito mo aisenai"

Riku felt strange but ignored it, this feeling was wonderful and strong almost like some thing was trying to pull him. He closed his eye's and let the music lead him on, forgetting about everything that's happened and letting his sadness wash away. Mio felt a small tear on her cheek, why am I crying... she thought brushing it continued to sing as the tears kept was dancing now, accidentally crashing into Azusa a few times. The young kohai would shove her away in annoyance and glare at her. Mugi seemed to be in her own world giggling and blushing a few times throughout the song, her hair swaying behind her.

"Please don't say you were lazy
Datte hontou wa crazy
Nou aru taka wa SO
Mienai tokoro ni pikku kakusundesu"

Sawako was recording them as they played, her teacher instincts told her to video tape the event for future reference, maybe even a little black mailing later on. Her eyes were playing tricks or did Riku look like Ritsu just now, she took her glasses off and looked at the brunette. Oh my god!...what the hell!? indeed her eyes were staring at a girl behind the drums but she seemed to be transparent and glowing. Ricchan also noticed and panicked flying towards the girl. Sitting there was Ritsu not Riku in a boys uniform, "Ritsu stop playing!" Ricchan hissed. The girl opened her eyes and nodded no. "Please your soul is trying to bring back your old body and making your new body disappear" Ricchan reasoned. Ritsu ignored hes angels plead and continued to play almost close to the end of the song. Mio's voice harmonized beautifully and Ritsu loved the way it sounded. Did Rcchan just call me Ritsu?

"Souzou ni isshoukenmei
Genjitsu wa zeittaizetsumei
Hatten dochuu dashi

Dakara fui ni picchi hazurerun desu"


Mio sang the last few lyrics and the song ended soon after, Everyone was panting and sweating from such an intense first song. Ricchan looked at Ritsu and it seemed that the girl was now a boy like before. What did this mean? Why was Ritsu's soul separating? "Wow that was...freakin awesome!" Riku cheered, face flushed and grinning. Mugi giggled and Yui laughed hugging and kissing Gita, Azusa nodded and smiled at their progress, all except Mio was happy. Sawako clapped showing the they did very good and that was their best performance. Everyone crowded around Riku telling him he was good and asking him questions. "Stop it!" Mio shouted, "What are you guys doing encouraging him, he only came here to replace Ritsu!"

Riku looked up to see the bassist in tears and about to collapse," Mio-chan he just played with us for today remember" Yui said nearing towards her. "Yes that's right Yui-chan and you know better than that Mio-chan...please calm down" Mugi spoke softly helping Yui. Azusa watched and felt like Mio was right, why would he come here for anyways? Did Sawako-sensei put him up to this? "Mio-chan is right..we can't just let anyone take Ritsu's sempai's place like that"

"But Azu-nyan weren't he just helped us out right Mugi-chan" Mugi nodded and stood closer to Yui. Mio bit her lip hard knowing she couldn't win this arguement. Without another word said she grabbed her stuff and stormed out the door, leaving everyone stunned. Riku didn't think twice before running after her, he could see tears running down the girls face before turning to leave moments ago. Its my fault i made her feel this way. Mio...please...don't run away from me, Riku jumped down the steps thinking this was a bad idea from the beginning. He passed some students down the hallway, he could see the retreating form of Mio exiting the building through some windows. He ran faster nearing the same doors Mio went through, Riku could see her now and smiled. "Hey Mio,wait" he called out, She tensed up and ran faster. Riku saw this and caught her wrist before she could keep going, Mio wanted to disapper than face him right now. "Why run from me..." Riku whispered facing her directly, "You have no right to touch or play her drums" Mio sniffled ,glaring at him. Riku blushed at Mio's slightly cute, angry face and her puffy cheeks, she always did look cute when angry.

"I'm sorry about that and the way I just interrupted your guys is club like that" he bowed, Mio blushed and told him not to do that as people were watching them. Why does my heart skip a beat when I look at you...she thought when the boy started to fidget under her gaze. Bright gold met confused clear grey, Riku smiled "Would this help?" he asked before enveloping her in a tight surprised Mio and made her feel bubbly inside, she felt tears running down her cheeks again, this hug was so strange? Ritsu wouldn't let anyone touch her let alone a boy? she hugged back letting all her confusion and frustration out in this one hug. Riku didn't know if this was a good idea or not and went eith his gut, but the only thing he wanted t do was not make Mio cry felt relieved when she didn't push him away. Mio felt that hugging this boy would ease her pain, but why? Would she let this strange boy enter her world? Something about him made her feel safe and happy...she felt like this when she was around Ritsu so why did it seem the same way with him? Just this one time, the one and only time she'll let anyone in.

I wish you were here to show me the way and tell me he's ok...but its fine, I can find out on my own...


Yui and the others arrived after watching the whole scene play out, and hoped things calmed down. After Mio noticed their presence she pushed Riku away and Blushed hotly in embarrassment. Mugi was smiling, Yui attacked Mio, Sawako was teasing Riku and Azusa seemed to be dazed from the aspect of it all. After some teasing and Yui declaring "Riku-kun and Mio-chan are dating!" The whole group(mostly Mio) smacked Yui senseless after the comment. So in the end nobody asked how Riku knew their songs or who taught him how to play the drums and why he was in the school in the first place. But for once nobody cared and everything was fine until it was time to go. "Will it seems its time to go, I'll just go on my merry way" Riku grinned walking away, "Wait on second it's really late and I think the girls need a ride home so they don't have to walk there" Sawako stated dragging Riku back. "Riku-kun has a car, he can drive us home Sawa-chan" Yui said high fiving Sawako. Riku sighed "If you guys want, I can drive you guys home that is if you fit?"

"Nonsense they'll fit!"

*Giggling*

"Were not fat Riku-san"

"I didn't say that?!"

"Mio-chan you can sit in the shotgun!"

"W-What S-Shotgun!?"

*Sigh*

"Mio-sempai its a term used in America for the front passenger seat"

*Blushing*

"Oh"

*Walking away*

"I'm leaving!"

"Wait were not ready! what about Gita!"

*Dragging them to the car*

"Were leaving now!"

*Driving off*

"NOOOO, WE LEFT HIM!"

*Hissing*

"Yui-sempai sit down or we won't fit"

*Pleading*

"Please Yui-chan sit down"

"Yui if you don't sit down I'm kicking you out of my car!"

"God...your so rude"

"I'm sorry Mio-chan"

*Blushing again*

"Its okay"

" Kiss, Kiss, Kiss!"

*Everyone*

"YUI JUST SHUT UP!"
