Just wanted to thank Gwang Fei, kye-09, X.xMeiko-samax.X, Darth Claire, Emiz, naoki and Kaya-chan for reviewing! Thank you soo much! You guys brighten up my day!!!
A special thanks to Gwang Fei for being my beta!
A talent of Momo will be revealed in this fic! Why don't you guys read and find out! By the way, the regulars coach here is different since they are in high school. Although, Tezuka was chosen as their team captain much like in junior high. Their coach looks like Sakura's father from CCS, minus the glasses. Btw, I know on the previous chapters I described Momo's eyes as obsidian but I've just find out from my friend that his eyes are of amethyst. Hope this'll clear things up! Enjoy reading!
Momoshiro's Past Love
Chapter 5: Playing from the Heart
White day is coming in a few weeks. The Seigaku Music Club and Theatre Club has been assigned to give a performance for the school's female staff and also for the female student body, much like what happened during Valentine's Day, except it was for the male staff and for the male student body. The student council had decided to present gifts for the female staff of the school. Everything is going well until one of the violinists of the music club had an accident that, unfortunately, damage his right arm and was advised to rest it for 2 months.
A girl with bright pink hair tied in pig-tails; wearing the Seigaku High School uniform for female students which consists of a white blouse, a dark green miniskirt, a dark green tie and black shoes. The girl is Takahashi Ruriko, the Vice-president of the Music Club. She's walking beside a guy with short light-blue hair who's wearing the Seigaku High School uniform for male students which consisting of a white shirt, black slacks and black shoes. He is Mitarashi Ray, the President of the Music Club.
"Mitarashi-san, Fujiwara-san damage his right arm and needs to rest it for 2 months, preventing him from attending the performance for white day. But without him, we can't perform. What are we gonna do?" Ruriko said, worry visible on her pretty face.
"I am fully aware of Fujiwara's condition. I also am aware that his absence means the show can't go on. We must find a replacement." Ray said.
"But all members already have parts in the performance. We don't have any available members left to fill in for Fujiwara-san." Ruriko said.
"I know that."
"Then… What about the part of Fujiwara-san? He has a solo part so… the person who should fill in for him must be exceptionally talented. Do you have someone in mind?"
"I was informed by a friend about someone from the Tennis Club who can play the violin. He also said this guy is very talented and is known as one of the greatest not to mention youngest musician in this generation." Ray said.
"Really?! If a student as talented as him is in our school then how come he joined the tennis club and not our club? And how come we never heard of him?" Ruriko asked.
"This person is not only good at music but also at sports. I really don't know his reason for joining the tennis club and it's not of our concern. Although I am disappointed that he didn't join our club… But his skills are yet to be tested. And no one has ever heard of him because he keeps a low profile and he has not yet performed any concerts or recital in Japan. Most of the students here are into tennis anyway so it isn't at all surprising that no one has ever heard of him." Ray said.
"I see… But how did you find out about him?"
"A close friend of his recommended him."
"Ah… Who is he?" Ruriko asked.
"He's from your class, Takahashi."
"Eh?! But there are many guys in my class!" Ruriko whined.
"Hint: He's a regular. Happy-go-lucky and he gets along well with everyone." Ray said.
"A regular? Happy-go-lucky? Gets along with everyone? Most of the guys in my class are happy-go-lucky. Some get along with everyone. The only regular from the tennis club in our class is Momo-chan. Argh!!! This is just too confusing!!! Just please tell me who it is or give me another hint!!!" Ruriko whined.
"You already mentioned his name and you're still asking for a hint!!!" Ray said twitching.
"Awww… come on, Mitarashi-san! Please!!! Just another hint!!!" Ruriko pleaded.
"Sometimes, I ask myself if you're just playing around to test my patience or you're down right stupid. I think it's the latter." Ray said with a sigh.
"Just give me the damn hint!!!" Ruriko said waving her arms in exasperation.
"The only boy in your class who has fanboys." Ray said rubbing his temples.
"Now that's easy! The only guy in my class who has fanboys is Momo-chan!!! Did I guess it right?" Ruriko asked her eyes shining with anticipation.
"Yes, you guess it right. Now will you please shut up and be quiet. Someone might hear you."
"Yes, sir!" Ruriko said giving a poor imitation of a salute.
The regulars were busy practicing in case a tournament may come up and in every court, there are intense matches. All in all, everyone are doing fine and their performances were great. Their day ended with the coach praising them for practicing with the best of their abilities. Every member went to the club room to change; one by one, they all went their separate ways home except for an amethyst-eyed regular. He was sitting on a chair waiting for his coach. Just then the door opened revealing a man in his 30's, a boy with silver hair and sapphire eyes, a boy with light blue hair and silver eyes, and a girl with bright pink hair and has green eyes.
"Hi, Momo-chan!!!" The girl greeted Momo.
"Ruriko?" Momo asked surprised.
"Hello, Takeshi." Touya greeted coolly.
"Touya?!" Momo said shock written on his face.
"Momo, can you please sit down?" His coach said.
"Hai, Katsuya-sensei." Momo said making himself comfortable on the chair.
"I'm sorry to have called you here when you should already be resting at your home right now." Coach Katsuya said.
"It's quite alright." Momo said.
"Let me introduce them. The boy with light blue hair is Mitarashi Ray. He's the president of the Music Club. And it seems like you already know the other two." Coach Katsuya said, which earned a nod from Momo.
"It's nice to finally meet you, Momoshiro-san." Ray said, offering a hand to Momo.
"Nice to meet you too, Mitarashi-san. Uhm… you can just call me Momo." Momo said politely, shaking Ray's hand.
"I'm sure you're wondering why Katsuya-sensei told you to stay, Momo. The reason for that is because Takahashi and I asked him to." Ray said.
"But why?"
"Takahashi and I are here on behalf of the Music Club. We would like it if you'll participate in the show the music club prepared for white day."
"Eh? Why me? I don't know how to play the violin! Even if I do like music…" Momo said, but his eyes tell a different story.
"Momo-chan! Please don't lie! Mitarashi-san and I know that you're a great violinist! You even play the flute and the piano!" Ruriko said while her hands are on her hips.
"Takahashi is right. You performed recitals and concerts in different countries except for Japan. You keep a low profile and that's why no one knows about your background. Not to mention, you're a bad liar." Ray said.
"H-how did you –"
"I told them."
"T-touya… Why?" Momo asked feeling shock and sad at the same time.
"Because they need someone for the show… and because you've been busy with tennis and school work you haven't had time to play the violin, the flute or the piano. Even if you don't say it, I know you miss playing wonderful music… This is your chance, you know. You'll be at the back so that no one will recognize you." Touya said smiling.
"Touya… You…" was all Momo could say. He's speechless and the sadness he felt was replaced by happiness.
"You have talent. Don't waste it."
"Yes, Touya but… what about tennis practice?" Momo asked looking at Coach Katsuya.
"Don't worry I'll just make up some excuse. I'm sure Tezuka will listen. Just do your thing!" Coach Katsuya said encouragingly.
"Katsuya-sensei's right! Momo-chan should do his thing! Don't worry, no one will know about this but us and the other members of the music club. We'll keep quiet!" Ruriko said.
"What do you say?" Ray asked.
"I'll participate." Momo said smiling.
It had been a week since the tennis club heard faint music coming from somewhere inside their school. Even now, they're still hearing it… the wonderful music that fills their heart with warmth. Everyone who hears the music were curious as to who was playing it, but no one seem to know who plays the violin and no one tried to find out. Simply, because the violinist doesn't want to be found and is seemingly content just playing wonderful music that eases not only the members of the tennis club but also the school staff and other students. Unknown to them, the one who plays the wonderful music they keep hearing is a boy with black spiky hair and amethyst eyes. He plays every single day to his heart content, not knowing the effect his music has on people who hears him play.
