Chapter 13
~ Day 9~
~Yuu's POV~
I woke up in the morning knowing that Len went out to have his violin checked... not that I care for that. But it's surprising how he managed to break a string, I mean, he's always careful to how he handles his violin and it's like he's treating the instrument like his own daughter. Well... I can't blame the Tsukimori's being like that. This family is so fond of music and their own instruments.
I went to the kitchen and saw the cook cooking breakfast.
"Young master, what would you like for breakfast?", the old cook asked me.
I gave a thought for it for a second and decided. "I'd like pancakes please", I said.
"Okay. Please wait for it", the cook said as she started preparing for the things she'll need.
I decided to not stay at the kitchen and left. While I was leaving, I can feel the cook looking at me... and her thoughts were kind of disturbing.
I stayed at the living room while waiting for my breakfast. I laid on the sofa and relaxed myself there. Why do I feel like I have less time... I need to make those two violinists kiss, for the chains to disappear. Kira did had a point at how will Len travel when Kahoko is somehow attached to him by a chain. I need to think of a way to make these two meet today as well.. for the 9th day romance. And I need to stop thinking of them!
I sighed while thinking at the problems I've been creating. Somehow, I want to see Kira and listen to her story. A dream of a monster who hurt her yet she's not scared of it. Now I feel that I was the monster... I slapped myself on the face.
Ouch... but I do remember my dream... a little girl covered in blood and me mercylessly attacking her... that dream was a nightmare... yet it did happen... didn't it? I'm 100% sure it did. The smell of that girl's blood was sweet to the point that I became insane. I was supposed to act like an innocent 6 year old yet I did that.
I realized that my story and Kira's dream were connected... so it was her whom I attacked... the girl who I became aware of yet I didn't notice. This is bad... if I meet her and remember how her blood smelled, it'll be bad... but I need her to help me.
I think it's not bad since these days, with Kira, I was in perfect control of myself... nearly... except for the fact that my other side keeps on asking me to drink blood. But that has no connection to Kira. I wanted to drink blood because I've been using magic to help Len and because Kahoko is like my lover Sarah who is really dead but I don't know.
She'll be safe... I'm not looking for blood now anyway so it's safe. Hmm... might as well ask Len to give me some of his blood just in case... Gah! I don't want to! It's his life that is at stake if I do that!
"What's wrong?", I heard a familiar voice.
I opened my eyes to see the girl whom I should yet shouldn't be seeing at the moment.
"H-how did you?"
"Your mother let me in while I was outside", Kira said.
I saw mother smiling at me behind Kira. "She was standing outside", mother explained.
I sighed. "Why?", I asked Kira.
"Ah... I'm sorry... I should have come later... uh... okay, I'll leave", Kira said and turned.
Mother glared at me with an expression saying how-could-you-be-like-that-towards-a-girl?
"Sorry", I said to mother and chased Kira before she leaves the house.
Kira already had the doorknob on her hand when I came behind her. I touched the doorknob with my left hand for her not to open and my right hand was just at the door just to make sure that she doesn't open it. Why do I have a feeling that I dont want her to open it. I even trapped her between me and the door...
"Eekkk!", I heard her react when our skin touched. For a reaction that wasn't so loud.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you leave. I was just surprised to see you here, early" and when I was thinking of not seeing you.
She turned to see me. "I guess I was too early", she said. I can hear her heart racing. Did I scare her? I wish that wasn't the case.
"So you're telling me that you really broke a string?"
"Yes... Do I need to repeat it for you to understand?"
"N-no! It's just surprising"
"Surprising?"
"Yes... I just didn't expect..."
"I also make mistakes, I'm human too"
Those voices... so they were together... and early in the morning. I wonder how they met.
"Are you alright?", I heard Kira ask me.
"Y-yes", I answered and pulled Kira away the door.
The door opened after I pulled Kira away the door. And on the door was Len alone...
"Where's Kahoko?", I asked him.
Len had a surprised expression and after a second he was back to the composed him. "She left already".
"What happened?"
"None of your business"
"Are you happy to meet her?", Kira asked.
I was also surprised at the question. Obviously, a person would be happy to see their love one in the morning.
"Do I have to answer that?", Len asked and started heading to the living room.
"Does that mean no?", Kira asked.
"Why would it be no?"
"Well... I don't have someone I like so I dont know... I only know that in stories and movies they get happy but I don't know for reality", Kira said.
"Oh... Len is happy. He just doesn't like to show it", I said. I guess she can say no because of Len's actions and expressions.
"Oh... I thought he wasn't since he doesn't look happy. I thought the movies were wrong", Kira said.
"Breakfast is ready!", I heard the cook say.
"Would you like pancakes?", I asked Kira.
"Sure"
"So we're here because you heard that Len was planning on going to a concert?", Kira asked me while we we're looking for our seats.
"Yes, and Kahoko would surely be here", because I said so.
While I was looking for our seats, I noticed Kahoko Hino just near the seat where Len's ticket was assigned. Hmm... it seems that Kahoko Hino isn't going to be beside Len's seat. "A little magic wont hurt", I mumbled to myself.
I was reading all the minds of all these people inside the concert hall and it's really annoying. I'll endure. I can hear someone thinking of the seat number that was beside Len. And there I casted a spell...
I watched a girl named Rika walking without being aware of her surroundings. She accidentally bumped on Kahoko Hino and both their tickets fell on the floor. And there the magic starts. Both girls took the wrong ticket and started heading on opposite directions without even remembering the other's face.
"Isn't that your brother", Kira asked as I felt her tugging my sleeves.
I looked at the direction where Kira was pointing. That's definitely Len Tsukimori. He was about to sit when he heard Kahoko.
"Ah! My ticket got switched! This wasn't the number that I was looking for", I heard Kahoko say outloud, panicking.
"Kahoko?", Len said after hearing her voice.
Kahoko looked at the person who called her name and said, "Len! Why are you here?".
"To watch the concert...", Len replied. I wanted to laugh after hearing his thoughts, "Isn't it obvious? Why are you here Kahoko? Well... duh Len Tsukimori. Isn't it obvious? To watch the concert as well...".
"Oh yeah hehehe... I guess we'll be seatmates", Kahoko smiled.
Len nodded and sat down. Kahoko as well sat down.
"You look happy", Kira said with a smile on her face.
"I do?", I asked her. I wonder how I looked like.
"Yeah, smiling makes you look cooler", Kira said and then grabbed my hand. "I think I found our seats", I heard her say while we we're walking.
While Violin Sonata No. 1 in G Major was being performed, I noticed Len was trying to hold hands with Kahoko, who was just beside him. Me and Kira sat just 3 seats behind Len and Kahoko. Let's just hope he doesn't notice us, lucky for us that the entire concert hall were dark except for the stage.
"I feel like your brother is trying to hold Kahoko's hand... but when his hand is just a few inches away he pulls back", Kira whispered to me.
"Actually... I want to laugh so hard", I said.
"Eh? You don't look like it", Kira whispered while staring at me.
"Well... it takes me a lot of effort to hold myself together", I whispered. I want to laugh because... "Kira, do you want to know what Len is thinking?", I asked.
Kira nodded and then I started blurting out what he's thinking. I started whispering, "I want to hold her hand but... will she get angry if I did? I shouldn't then... I... I feel rediculous...", I stopped when I felt Kira's head on my shoulder.
"Please continue, I can't hear you very well if I don't lean on you", she explained.
"Ok", I said and continued reading.
~Len POV~
I really need to see a doctor. Just by knowing that Kahoko is just beside me... I feel my heart's going to explode any second now!
"This sounds so beautiful, right Len?", Kahoko held my hand and then she leaned on my shoulder.
Wow... and here I was trying to resist myself from holding her hand. But... K-KAHOKO'S HOLDING MY HAND! Gah... get a hold of yourself Len. It's not like this happens all the time... but I feel nervous? Happy? greatful? Wah!
I should invite her to eat dinner after this... but... How on earth can I ask her without looking like an idiot? I imagined myself banging my head on a wall.
~Author's POV~
After the concert Len asked Kahoko if she has time.
"Yes, why?", Kahoko asked.
Len had thought that it was the perfect time to say what he wanted to. "I'm planning on..."
"Ouchie", Sakura said cutting Len's words. She accidentally bumped onto Len. Len gave a glare to the person who had interupted him but after knowing who the person was, his expression suddenly changed into a surprised one.
"Sakura?", Kahoko and Len said after seeing Sakura.
Sakura looked up...
~Sakura's POV~
Uh oh... I'm supposed to be not seen by these two but...what should I do? I know Yuu will be here any time soon so... what if he didn't come to look for me? I don't even know where the exit is!
I looked at Kahoko and Len. What should I say? I feel nervous and... and... and... scared. He's glaring at me... what should I do? I feel like I did something wrong.
"Did you come here to watch the concert as well?", Kahoko asked smiling at me. Oh... she's so kind. I nodded as my answer. I felt relief after knowing that she isn't angry but my nervousness suddenly went up when I saw the older Tsukimori looking around. Oh no... what if he know's that Yuu was here?
Yuu suddenly disappeared when we were on our way out of the concert hall. After that I tried looking for him and ended up bumping to these two. Why does the world hate me?
"Hey!", I heard a familiar voice.
"I'm so sorry!", I heard a kid say and the next thing I knew was that the older Tsukimori was suddenly leaning towards me.
I can't move my body at all. Mine and Yuu's brother... w-we're k-kissing! What should I do? I closed my eyes and after a while he pulled back and apologized.
"I-it's not y-your fault!", I said. I covered my mouth with my hands. I felt so embarrassed. I looked at Kahoko's expression. Now I feel like I want to turn back time and undo all what happened. It was an accident, right?
"But... I'm sorry. That wasn't my intention at all!", Len said. I can see his face all worried and all flushed.
Len looked at Kahoko and when he was about to open his mouth, Kahoko said, "I think I need to go home... I don't feel well".
Kahoko left with a smile on her face... but why do I feel that that smile isn't right... what did I just do? These two should be spending more time together but...
"I'm so sorry!", I told Len. He had a pained expression. His left hand on his forehead.
"It's not your fault", he said. "Someone accidentally pushed me, it's not like you were the cause of it. Don't cry".
After hearing him say that, I realized that I was crying. I wiped my tears away with my sleeves.
"I'm sorry", I said.
"It's fine. I'll leave first", Len said and left me standing alone. All that was unexpected... I didn't know something like that can happen... especially he was my first and in front of Kahoko of all people. I felt my face turn hot.
"That was my fault", Yuu said after tapping my back. "Sorry".
"What do you mean your fault?", I asked him. I know that it can be possible that he was the cause.
I saw Yuu's expression suddenly became all worried. "I think I should stop involving you with this game of mine", he said. I saw him holding a kid with him.
"Huh?".
"It's an accident so dont worry. You dont have to help me put them together", Yuu said and offered me a ride back home.
I knew this would happen sooner or later. I lost another friend again...
~Yuu's POV~
That wasn't expected. I cant have her get involve anymore. She's too fragile.
"I'm sorry", Iku said.
"No one expected it to happen. I didn't even know that it could happen, especially when Len and Kahoko are getting closeer to each other", I told Iku.
"I have to warn you master, don't decide on people's fate. Also, solve all the problems you created", Iku warned me. And that girl earlier... she had lost a friend.
"What do you mean?", I asked Iku. Kahoko lost a friend?
"Sakura Kira, right? She just thought she had lost a friend again", Iku said. So he can read her mind.
"Ha? But I didn't tell her that she doesn't need to help me because I don't want her to be my friend but for her safety", I said.
"She doesn't know that", Iku said and he had a point. Kira must have thought that I felt disgusted towards her because she accidentally had a kiss with my brother. But I can't go to her now and explain...
I feel something bad will happen if I did...
On the next chapter... day's would run rather faster o.O than before...
