This story is brought to you from Chihiro's point of view.

Words in bold are flashback.

Day 7: "Practice"

"Chihiro~ Remember! You must eat your breakfast before you go to school! You better be quick if you don't want to be late!"

"Huuuh? So you are still there?"

"It's not a problem, right? I'm useful, you see! My cousins love me because of my motherly instict!"

"Besides, you should calm down because there's no school today since it's Sunday! I am not going to school. I only go to the studio to practice with my band!"

It's still so early in the morning yet she woke me up from my sleep. She did it with a very soft voice, a very contradict way to my annoying alarm's way to wake someone up. She also rushed me to go to the bathroom so I could brush my teeth and took a bath. She treated me as if I'm her daughter!

This girl only appeared in the mirror. As a reflection, she looked just like me but her hair was light green and her pupils were bright red instead of my browns. I could hear her voice but my parents could not, which had made me scared of her.

The first time I met her yesterday I thought she was a ghost from the movie I watched with Katsuragi. She brushed it off by telling me that she was the goddess of harvest named Demeter. I guess that made sense why she acted like a mother for she IS 'mother' earth. Well, that if she was really a goddess. I didn't really doubt her though.

She told me that she was weakened after a war with demons. She had to come to my body to hide and replenish her power or something.

"Chihirooo! Breakfast is ready!"

"Breakfast! Breakfast, Chihiro-chan!"

"I know thaaat! I can hear my mom very well, 'meter!"

"Hurry, you won't grow if you don't eat breakfast!"

"Why did you say that while touching your chest!?"

Geez! Really! It's my body, so it's up to me on how I would like to build them right? Or so I thought… I couldn't help but to worry about 'them' now that she had brought the matter up.

"Remember, don't waste your food! The farmers work hard for each grain of rice!"

"I'm too old to being told about that!" I said mentally.

Just like when I had dinner last night, she again asked me to finish my food without any trace left. There's nothing wrong with telling people to eat their food until the last grain of rice, but how about my diet? Last night I've just checked that my weight was raised by 0.9 Kgs and Demeter still urged me to eat more! If she was about to live in my body then she should have cared about things like this too!

…

It's 9 o'clock. Time to go!

"Mom, I'm going!"

"Be careful, Chihiro! Tell Ayumi-chan Mom said hi."

"I will!"

I was now walking down street, heading to the studio which was 2 blocks away from that intersection. It was quite lively here. There were many people who were jogging with their families or friends. I couldn't find anyone walk by themselves, except for me. Oh, wait. I was not alone either. Demeter suddenly appeared on a restaurant's window. Her hair looked brighter now. It looked more of a Chartreuse with yellow dominant, unlike the green one I saw at home. Man, she's dazzling.

We talked as I was walking towards the intersection.

"Why leaving so early in the morning if you only was about to train with your friends, Chihiro-chan?"

"It's not 'training' but practice! And they are not just friends! They are my bandmates! You know what a band is, right?"

"Th—that's rude! Of course I know! I know lots about anything in this era, you know!"

"Oh? Tell me about it," I dared her, who don't even know about television or radio.

"It's the thing you stick to the place where you are bleeding, right!"

"IT'S BAND-AID! Ha! I thought you're a goddess. A good goddess should know everything in the world, right!?" I teased Demeter. She looked annoyed.

She's puffing her cheeks and asked, "So what is this band thing?"

"It's a group of people who play musical instruments together to create amazing melody!" I answered confidently. "This thing on my back is a music instrument, a guitar."

"Oh, I see… By the way, Chihiro-chan. You have some tomato sauce under your nose."

"Wha—! Why don't' you tell me earlier?" I yelled at Demeter who appeared on the reflection of a black luxurious car's window. I placed my index finger to brushed anything under my nose when my reflection slowly vanished and it was transformed into a fine looking boy with sunglasses. Wait… THE WINDOW WAS OPENED!

Self-destruction in 3… 2… 1…

I turned around quickly and ran off like being chased by stray dog. This is embarassing! The window was really dark that I failed to recognize that the owner was still in the car! AAAAH I want to kill myself! It's partly 'Meter's fault!

"Chihirooo!"

"Eh? This gentle voice… Yui?"

"Let's go together! Get in the car!"

I got into her car. I was a little bit hesitate, but Yui insisted. It's really spacy here and the seat was just like a sofa. I could not hear any noise inside. Not even the engine's. How amazing…

"You were stopped next to my car there at the traffic lamp. Did I scare you?" said her while taking off her sunglasses and folded it before she put it on the pocket of her shirt.

So that fine looking boy was Yui, huh? Well, at least I don't have to be too embarassed about it. I mean, it's Yui.

"By the way, Chihiro."

"What is it, Yui? Eeeeeh! You captured it?"

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIIIIS! Yui managed to take my photo when I was trying to clean that sauce! Aaa what should I do? I looked terribly sorry there! What if she upload it to the internet? Ah! People all over the world will laugh at me! Or even worse, they would make it into a meme!

But this is Yui Goido we are talking about. I heard she was bound to learn to be a good noble lady of the oldest family in Maijima City! She won't do bad things, right?

"Hahaha. Well, you looked funny there so I can't keep myself from not taking a picture to capture the moment forever."

"What are you talking about? It's embarassing! Please erase that photo!"

"Come on, Chihiro~ It's just me, you know~ I won't do anything weird! We are friends!" Said Yui while playing with her phone, as if she was texting someone.

Anyways, glad to hear that. I even sighed to express my relief. I guess Yui would really make a good lady in the future!

"Well, let's upload it."

"WAIT! I thought you said you won't do anything weird to it!"

"It is not weird to upload it to my own album, right?"

"It is weird to upload someone's photo to your own album!" I argumented.

"Everyone knows that you are my dear friend, Chihiro~ None would find it weird, right?" She answered nonchalantly.

"Doon't! Please don't do that! I will do anything you ask!"

You're ruining my image about you, Yui! Can't believe you'd do that to me!

"Ah, we're here!" Yui pointed at the studio… Huh? Wait. It looked more neat than usual. Something is not right…

Eh?

What?

Goidou studio!? Th—the studio's name changed!

"Yu… Yui… Does this mean…"

"Yep. I've just bought the whole place yesterday. Now we can practice everyday even at weekends when the school closed!"

You kidding me!?

"My dear mother said that it is not bad to manage a business at young age, so why not?" Yui smiled. "But well, maybe it's just so that I don't go to messy and dirty place like this studio before I bought it," she sweatdropped.

Amazing… Amazingly scary.

"Ah, it's Ayumi and Miyako. They looked surprised don't they? Fufufu~"

"Anyone would!"

Even the calm Miyako jaw-dropped at the sudden change of the studio!

"Let's greet them, Chihiro."

"Yes. Let's go!"

We got off from the car and greeted them. We were about to walk into the building when our bassist came, of course with her usual cheerful attitude.

"Chihiro-saaan, Ayumi-saaan, Yui-saaan, Miyako-saaaan… Good morniiiing!"

"Good morning, Elly!" I greeted back.

"Everyone is already here. Did I make you wait?"

"Not at all, we also had just arrived," Ayumi answered.

"I see. Good then!" She smiled happily.

"Elly is the only one who is not surprised huh?" Miyako commented.

"Ah you are right." I reacted.

The studio's name was really big, with capital alphabetical writings. Elly should have noticed the name, but she didn't look bothered about it.

"Well, let's go guys! What are you waiting for?" Yui waved from the inside of the building. I thought she was still with us.

We walked into the building. The glass door automatically opened wide as we stood in front of it to let us in. Whoa! The inside, although it still had the size of the old building, but it was very clean and decorated like a high-class hotel I saw in movies. The waiting room's bench was changed into a luxurious sofa. Not only that, there's also an LED TV hanging on the wall. The wall looked brighter than before with many of famous band's photos on it and the plants made the room even livilier.

"Go..i..do studio. Huh? Yui-san? This is your studio?"

"What? You only realize now? There was another sign in front of the entrance," Ayumi wondered.

"Ah, so that was read 'Goidou', huh? Ahahaha~ I'm sorry."

So that was the case… Elly did not react because she couldn't read those alphabets! This one in the waiting room was written in kanji, which she could read!

We laughed together after that and without waiting any longer; we walked into one of the studio to begin our practice.

"Oh this is really great! Look! This electic guitar is this company's brand new product, you know!" I yelled in awe.

"Now, now, enough for the compliments. Let's get the party started, my ladies," Yui jumped to the drummer's chair and started playing with her drumsticks. Wow, that was some crazy skills. I'm glad we had her as our drummer!

"You seemed all fired up today, Yui!" I commented.

"I won't lose to you, Yui!" Ayumi said, draping her guitar tie around her and started a melody.

"Wow, when did you learn that melody?" Miyako asked.

"Last night," answered her simply.

After showing off, we started our real practice.

…

"Well, that was much better than the last time. Ayumi's guitar is really improved! You too, Elly. Good job!" I said, complementing my bandmates.

"Aaah, thank you very much Chihiro-san! Ehehehe~"

She looked awfully happy there... How cute.

"You were also stand out, Chihiro. Your singing is getting better! It sounds powerful yet cute," Miyako pointed out.

"Well, I do practice my voice everyday during showers, so… Ahahaha!" I said, making a peace sign with my hand.

"That's that. See you again, guys! I have to be at home before 12. Sorry guys," Yui waved as she got into her car and left.

"Well, see you tomorrow at class!"

"Yeah. See you, Chihiro!"

With that, we separated. Miyako was going with Ayumi because their house was close. Elly and I goes by our selves to our respective home.

"So that was called a band, huh? You all seemed to be having fun, Chihiro-chan."

"Demeter," I said, looking at her reflection on a window as we walk.

"But those two girls… They seemed to be holding something…"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Nothing. Maybe I was wrong… More importantly, it's lunchtime! Let's eat Chihiro! You must be tired from practicing right?"

"You are right… I'm very hungry right now," I answered.

I swore I heard her said something like 'those two girls holding something' or whatever… Who? Were they in the band? And what are they 'holding'? I'm curious about this! If some random girl spoke it, I wouldn't care about but this was something a 'goddess' said. Demeter looked as if she wanted to keep it a secret, so I guess asking her is futile.

I will investigate this later!

"Chihiro."

Suddenly I heard a familiar voice, calling my name from behind.

"Ayumi? You are not going home? Where is Miyako?"

"I remember I need to buy something at the supermarket."

"Is that so? Well, I'm going to have lunch at that ramen house. Wanna eat with me before you go to the supermarket?"

"—Chihiro. How was your date yesterday?"
