Chapter 24
~Sakura's POV~
It's been two weeks since I last saw the Tsukimori brothers. I wonder how they're doing right now. If I remember correctly, today is the day they'll have a concert.
"Sakura, are you ready?", uncle Akihiko asked while he puts on his coat. It's cold here… and I haven't gotten used to it.
"Yes", I answered. I was ready twenty minutes ago.
"Well then, let's get going", he said and both of us left the hotel we rented.
We're currently in Vienna. Uncle took me with him and already prepared an excuse letter for my absence in school, though I think it's unnecessary since, in class, we're not doing anything much because winter break is coming.
We both were silent on our ride to somewhere I don't know. Every now and then, I noticed uncle glancing at me and giving a pained expression. I didn't bother asking 'cause maybe it's none of my concern.
"Sakura… do you know anything about your parents?", uncle asked me.
I shook my head and looked at uncle. His eyes were focused on the road.
"You look like your mother…", he said.
"Really? I think that she looks much better than me though". I laughed. I saw a picture of mother and she looks beautiful no matter what angle you look at her.
Uncle became silent again.
"Are you okay?", I asked uncle. I'm starting to get worried. He's normally calm but today he looks like he's uncomfortable with something.
He didn't answer me.
After a thirty minute travel, uncle stopped the car near a mansion. I stared at it with awe. The walls were tall and the gate was grand. The house was painted yellow and it looks comfy. I had a feeling of wanting to enter it, but unfortunately, that's not our venue.
"Stay here", uncle said and went out of the car.
I saw him walk towards the gate. Someone opened the grand gate and a guy came out. He had black long hair that was pony tailed and was wearing glasses. He's wearing a long black coat and he wore a black hat. I saw uncle shook hands with him and had a small conversation which I don't know what they're talking about.
Slowly I was getting bored, I busied myself with my seatbelt, taking it off and putting it on. Crazy, isn't it?
I got surprised after hearing the door open. Uncle sat at the driver's seat while someone entered at the back. I looked behind to see the man uncle was talking to earlier.
"I guess you know who she is", uncle said without introducing me to the guy. Neither did he introduce the guy to me.
I saw the guy smile and said, "Yes. Of course". He looked at me and I gave him a smile. "Sakura, nice meeting you", the guy said and raised his hand for me to shake.
I shook his hand and then said, "Nice meeting you too". When I was about to take my hand away, the guys hold tightened and he kept it that way until uncle started driving.
I sat properly at my seat afterwards. Weird… but the guy looked handsome. He looked like he's the same age as uncle.
"So, where are we heading?", the guy asked.
"I bet you know", uncle said. He sounded like he wasn't pleased at our companion.
I heard the guy chuckled then said, "Loosen up. You don't have to act like that every time we meet. Or have you forgotten who I am? I know that you don't easily remember people's faces".
Uncle sighed. "How could I forget who you are… you're a freak", uncle said. I got surprised by what he said. I didn't know uncle can be rude… too rude.
"You haven't change a bit", the guy said.
Uncle remained silent after that.
We came to a concert hall. It's big and there were plenty of people chattering. I think we're going to watch an orchestra. Amazing… Uncle didn't like music that much but he's taking us here.
"I'll be back", uncle said and left me and the guy alone.
"Was he always like that? Or is it just today?', the guy asked.
"Just today", I answered him.
"I see", the guy said while staring at uncles leaving figure. "How have you been? Are you happy?".
Why is he asking me such questions? "I'm fine… I'm happy", I said. I was embarrassed to look at him so I decided to stare at the floor which was covered by a big red carpet.
"That doesn't sound happy", I heard him say.
Suddenly someone bumped onto me. I looked at the person and saw him wearing formal clothes and was covering his face by lowering his hat.
"Sorry", I heard him whisper and looked at the guy who was with me. I saw his eyes widen after seeing the guy who was with me.
He somehow looks familiar. The guy who bumped onto me bowed down a little towards the guy beside me then after that, he left.
"He looks oddly familiar", the guy beside me said to himself.
~Len's POV~
I took down the bow that I was holding and laid it in my violin case.
Rumor he said… maybe he was right, maybe it was just a rumor. But… I should focus on this concert!
I looked at Yuu who was again with his friends. I saw Ran, Yuu's friend who has blue hair and blue eyes and looks like a girl, glance at my direction and looked back at Yuu. I wonder what they're talking about. The word they said earlier really hit me. I was 'rejected' before I can even confess. What the hell…
After a few moments, Gideon and Yuki sat beside me, both staring at the bow which I was rubbing with rosin earlier.
"We heard from Yuu", Yuki said. Yuki is Yuu's friend who acts like a leader in their group and a prince wherever he goes. Maybe he got it from his family. He has emerald eyes blond hair, skin white and as smooth as a baby's. I know because there was a time that he touched me just to get my attention to him. I always see him with Yuu.
Gideon looked at me and gave me a weird expression. Gideon, if I remember correctly, is a son of a rich family. He has brown hair and golden eyes. He's kind and always smiling at others… kinda reminds me of Kazuki, but Gideon is not that cheerful.
The Hale twins, I don't know how Yuu agreed to be their friends because they were the type that Yuu doesn't like much, were with Ran. The twins were identically alike and I don't know which is which, all I know is one of them is Sei and the other is Ken. Both had black hair and blue eyes, which was unusual.
"So it was Yuu's fault why you feel like that", Yuki said.
"I think it might be just rumors so cheer up", Gideon said.
"Let me guess, Yuu asked you two to try cheering me up", I said. It was already Yuu's habit to ask others whenever he cannot cheer me up, unless that habit of Yuu was already gone because of this new Yuu… the supernatural Yuu.
Both guys nodded in reply. So Yuu hasn't changed even though he was a supernatural being.
But I think I can't feel happy that easily, I can't even concentrate on my violin. Ever since the text message, I can't control my feelings anymore. My chest hurts just thinking about it. I even had a nightmare watching Kahoko, with a beautiful white gown that suits her very nice, kiss Aoi in a church and just next to them was a priest. I shivered at the thought.
I sighed. "It's better to let go than to cling on".
I noticed Yuki nod. "That's right", he said. And that kinda hurts knowing he agrees.
I stood up, took my violin and excused myself from them. I planned on going to the dressing rooms. Once I've arrived, I sat on the bench and relaxed myself. In a few minutes the concert is going to start.
I should do my best since Kahoko told me to…
Someone entered the room. "Yuu", I said once I saw the person's face.
Yuu looked at me and bowed. Weird… Yuu doesn't bow down to me. Yuu had his hair fixed, was wearing a white polo shirt and a black tuxedo and a tie tied on his neck. He changed his clothes again? He was wearing a black polo shirt and a white tuxedo with a red ribbon tied on his neck earlier and his hair was a mess. "You changed clothes?", I asked him. I wanted to ask how because just a few seconds ago he was with Sei and the twins, bur I bet he used magic to change… why change?
He took his hat off and said, "Y-yes?".
Why does Yuu look unsure and uncomfortable? He's normally the opposite of that…
Behind Yuu the door opened again. Great, I came here to the dressing room to relax myself since I know that no one would be coming here at this time. "Len, I have so-", I heard Yuu said.
Right now I'm staring at two Yuu's… Am I imagining things? I know I feel bad about the news about Kahoko but is this related to that? I must be thinking too much…
"Oh… found you", Yuu said after looking at the other Yuu.
The Yuu who's wearing the black tuxedo bowed at the Yuu who's wearing the white tuxedo.
Yuu stared at the other Yuu and asked, "Why the hell did you agree to take a picture to the media? I saw a magazine with you on it!".
"I'm sorry. They kept on following me and I can't shoo them off", the black Yuu said.
What is happening? "Wh-who is who?", I end up asking while pointing at them.
Both Yuu's looked at me. "Len let me introduce you; this guy is me… well… I made him before so that I can leave the celebrity world without worrying others", the white Yuu said.
"Huh?". My mind was processing slowly.
"Before you make me disappear I have news. He's here", the black Yuu said.
"Ok, thanks. Thanks for your hard work", white Yuu said and then the black Yuu disappeared.
"What was that about?", I asked angrily. "Didn't I say 'no supernatural's'?". That was magic just now, right?
"I made him before you knew I was a demon or something", Yuu said.
"What's wrong?", I asked Yuu. He looked serious.
"We have unexpected visitors, I guess", Yuu said with a creepy smile on his face.
Thanks for reading! :D
