CHAPTER 5: "At the Tsukimori Mansion"

"H-Hai…" she replied and spoke in her mind; "Is this for real? Firs,t I met a cute violinist boy… and now… the great Hamai Misa is inviting me to their house? I must be dreaming-"

"Ouch! Len!" Kahoko shouted at the boy beside him who pinched her in the arm.

"I know what you're thinking. No. You're not dreaming." He picked up his violin case and started walking. "How did he know that? How genius is he?" Kaho thought.

"Kaho-san, let's go." They followed Len and made their way to the car.

~At the Car~

They were just been in the car for only 3 minutes and Kahoko looked really drowsy, and was about to fall from sleep.

"Kaho-san, you okay?" Misa asked. Hamai Misa was seated in front with the driver, while Len and Kaho, at the back seat.

"Ano… I'm fine. I just get sleepy whenever I ride a car or a bus."

"Hn. Sleepy head." Len uttered softly, but unfortunately, she heard it.

"Stop teasing me Len!"

"See, your spirits came back!" he teased again. Kahoko was about to fight back when Misa called out to her. 'Kaho-san."

"Nan deshou ka, Misa-san?"

"Don't you have friends?"

"I have. Mio and Nao"

"You went in the park alone. Why aren't you with them?"

"Actually… I was with them a while ago. I was on my way home when I passed through the park and heard a relaxing violin playing which captivated my heart."

"Relaxing? Len is emotionless. Nonetheless, his music is emotionless too."

"But the music I heard earlier was different."

"Different huh…" Len thought. Listening to what they were talking about but he didn't care.

"I see..." she smiled at her. "Don't you know you're Len's first friend?"

"Huh? Me? His First friend?" Kaho leaned closer to her.

Misa chuckled. "You see, Len acts cold to everyone and to kids who wants to be friends with him. So after seeing his coldness, they decided to avoid him."

Kahoko glanced at Len who was not interfering nor listening to what's his mother telling,, head leaned on the window, looking at everything they pass by.

"Oh… that's too bad. But Len did act cold to me the first time I talked to him."

"And congratulations Kaho! You passed his test!" Misa-san joked.

"Test…? Passed where...?" she doze off and fell asleep on Len's lap.

"Hey! Kahoko, wake up!" shaking her body.

"Ssshh, Len, Don't wake her up." Len calmed down. His hand crawled on Kaho's hair and caressed it gently. Misa-san peeked at them and giggled.

The car stopped at a large gate. Len didn't stand up. How could he? When the 'still-asleep' Kahoko was sleeping on his lap? Misa got out of the car and opened the door to where Len is.

Len snapped out when Kahoko's head suddenly fell on his lap. "Hey!"

Hamai Misa caressed her head. "She really is Hino Kahoko."

"She's still the sleepy head Kahoko…" Len spoke really softly and was about to smile when—

"What was it that you were muttering, Len?"

"I didn't say anything."

Soon, the car stopped at the large gate of the Tsukimori residence.

Kahoko opened her eyes slowly, when she noticed she had slept on Tsukimori Len's lap.

"Gaah! Gomennasai! Hontou ni gomenasai, Tsukimori-Kun!" she stood fast and went out of the car and followed Hamai Misa inside.

"Kaho-san, come inside." Misa welcomed, Kahoko followed.

She sat comfortably on the sofa. Len went upstairs, he was about to go inside when he saw Kahoko stood up and approach a shelf, loaded with picture frames. She picked up a frame with an unfamiliar girl in the photo.

"Hey, Isn't this Lenalee-nee-chan, Tsukimori—" She was cut off when Len slammed the door. "kun. Geez, what's wrong with him anyway?"

It was a picture of a beautiful girl with long, shining blue hair.

"Don't mind him Kaho, Onee-chan is at his father in Germany." Misa approached her.

Len went out from his room and slammed the door again. He went inside in one of their music rooms inside.

"What's his problem anyway? How is his sister doing?" Kaho asked.

"S-she's fine." Misa gave Kahoko a fake smile. Misa made her way to the dining room to fetch the cookies and juice she asked from the maids.

Afterwards, Kaho heard a violin being played and suspect that it was Tsukimori Len. She climbed upstairs and went inside to where Len went earlier. She closed the door behind, closed her eyes, and listened to the music.

Len stopped. "Is there anything you want?" he spoke irritably.

"Nothing in particular. It's just that… why did your music change?"

"Mind you own business. And don't know anything about my music."

"Of course I do! Because I'm your—" she cut off.

"My what? This is stupid!" he got his things and walked to the door.

"Fine! Then I won't care about you, because I don't really know YOU. We're just RIVALS in the music concours and it's just that! I'll leave now, GOOD-BYE!" this time, it was her turn to slam the door. Len was left dumbstruck. He said something bad without thinking, again.

Kahoko gave a sweet goodbye to Hamai Misa and said that she has to go home now. Misa nodded.

She left and while she was at the middle of the sidewalk, she stopped, realizing what she had just said lately. But she remembered it was his entire fault and started to walk again. "Tsukimori-kun you're a jerk!" she shouted angrily.

Oh, I mentioned a girl named Lenalee, Didn't I? I'd say it straight. It was Len's older sister. I took her name from Lenalee Lee from D. Gray Man. xD Ican't think of anything more! so that's that. Although i think it wasn't a japanese name... but Len's name isn't japanese too, right? xD chapter 6 will come soon, I hope... :D
