Chapter Two
When Mokuba walked into his Music Class, there at the front of the room stood an older woman, and as the other students came into the room and sat down, the woman said, "My name is Ms. Periwinkle, I'll be your Music Instructor, today we will begin learning the basics of reading music."
As the day progressed, Mokuba loved music even more. Ms. Periwinkle asked each of the students to come to the front of the class and see if they knew how to play the notes on the piano.
One by one, each of the students went to the piano and they showed or tried to show Ms. Periwinkle that they knew where the different keys were. Then it was Mokuba's turn and not wanting to make the others think that he was better then any of them, he tried and once he kind of messed up, but all in all Ms. Periwinkle was very impressed with how Mokuba knew the keys.
When class was about over, Ms. Periwinkle handed out to each student a picture of the keys of a piano, and she asked them to memorize the keys and tomorrow when they came to class she was going to ask each of them to show her how much they had learned.
As the students filed out of the classroom, Ms. Periwinkle asked to speak to Mokuba. "What's your name?" She asked Mokie.
"My name is Mokuba Kaiba." He told her.
"Alright Mr. Kaiba, will you please show me exactly how much you already know about playing the piano."
Mokuba sat down on the bench and then he closed his eyes and began playing. He played a very haunting melody and Ms. Periwinkle tried to remember who wrote the song, but she could not.
When Mokuba was through, he closed the top and sat there not knowing what to do next. Ms. Periwinkle said, "That was a very beautiful piece, do you know who wrote it?"
Mokuba turned around and as he stood up, he told her, "I did."
Ms. Periwinkle was very impressed and then she asked him, "If you can play this well, what are you doing in Juilliard, why aren't you recording or getting someone to make concert dates for you to play at?"
Mokuba was taken back by what she said, and then he told her, "I might be able to play one song or two, but I'm no way that talented to be able to play concerts.
I came here to learn more about playing the piano, but if you don't want to teach me then I guess I'll try to find someone else who will."
Mokuba gathered his things and walked out of the classroom and as he walked back to his room, he was upset about how the teacher more or less told him that he did not need to be here.
When he went into the room, his phone rang and it was Seto. "Mokuba, what's happened? Someone from Juilliard just called me and told me that you were rude to your music teacher."
Mokuba wanted to throw something but he kept his cool and he told Seto, "I want to tell you want really happened."
When Mokuba was through telling his brother what happened, Seto said, "Don't worry, I'll get this straightened out, and I'll call you back."
It was about an hour later, and Seto called back and he said, "The Dean wants to talk to you and this Ms. Periwinkle in his Office. I told him what happened and he's not very happy about it at all."
Mokuba thanked Seto and he said, "I'll call and let you know how it went, and Seto thanks, this really means a lot to me to be able to study here."
When Mokuba arrived at the Dean's Office, he was shown in and there sat Ms. Periwinkle as if nothing had happened at all. Dean Peters said, "Please sit down. Now from what your brother told me was that Ms. Periwinkle said that because you could play a piano as well as you could, what were you doing here. Is that right?"
Mokuba said, "Yes that's right. I came here to study music and learn to play the piano better then I can. What I can do is just play songs that I wrote, what I want to do is to be able to play the Classics like Beethoven and Bach, but if I'm asked to leave then how will I learn to play the music of the masters?"
Dean Peters looked at Ms. Periwinkle and he asked her, "Is that what you told his young man?"
Ms. Periwinkle then sat up straight and she said, "This young man already knows more then anyone in the class, so what more could he learn?"
Dean Peters sat there, not believing what he had just heard and he told her, "Alright, so Mr. Kaiba knows the basics of playing the piano, why should he be asked to leave Juilliard? Didn't you have to study and learn before you could play the Music of the Masters?"
Ms. Periwinkle took a deep breath and then she said, "I guess it won't hurt for him to learn more, who knows maybe he can help some of the others in class learn how to read music."
Dean Peters looked at Mokuba and he asked him, "Is that alright with you, what Ms. Periwinkle just said."
Mokuba stood up, he looked at Ms. Periwinkle, and he said, "Thank you and I will be delighted to help anyone that is having trouble if you'll help me learn how to play some of the classic pieces."
Ms. Periwinkle smiled at Mokuba and they she said, "I want to apologize to you for being wrong, you are a very talented and very polite young man and it would be a pleasure to help you learn to play some of the classic pieces."
Mokuba went back to his room and he called Seto and told him, "Everything is alright, and Ms. Periwinkle is going to help me learn to play some of the classic pieces of music."
Later that day, there was a knock on Mokuba's door and when he opened it, there stood Joseph. "How did your day go?" He asked Mokie.
When Mokuba was through telling Joseph, he was laughing. "Ms. Periwinkle is a rather weird woman, she loves teaching music especially the piano, I've heard her play and once if you closed your eyes you would of sworn that you were right there when Beethoven composed it."
Mokuba told Joseph, "That's what I want to do, and now maybe I will be able to fulfill my dream."
Joseph then said, "Why don't we go get something to eat. I want to take you to a little place not far from here where they play some of the most beautiful music."
So they went to Red Lobster and had dinner and then they walked about three blocks and they came to a little place called "Heaven's Door" and as they went inside, Mokuba knew exactly why they called it "Heaven's Door."
They sat down at a table and as they ordered some coffee, they listened to some of the best music that Mokuba had ever heard. By the end of the night, Mokuba was more determined to be able to play like some of the people that they heard here.
When they got back to Mokuba's place, Joseph said, "I'm going to be gone for a few weeks, I have to go back to Tokyo, my grandfather left me some property and I don't really need it, so I'm going to sell it."
As Joseph turned to leave, Mokuba said, "I'll miss you, please have a safe flight."
Joseph then smiled and he went over to Mokuba and he kissed him gently on the lips and he said, "I'll see you when I get back."
Mokuba closed and locked his door, he went over to the bed, and he looked over the papers that Ms. Periwinkle gave them and as he memorized each paper, he prayed that Joseph would have a safe trip and come back here safely.
