The Black Cat of Misfortune
Chapter Two
Ikuto's POV

"Ikuto…Ikuto…IKUTO WAKE UP NYAN!"

Yoru's voice rung through the air, waking me from my peaceful sleep

"What is it Yoru…"

I asked slightly annoyed, it was a beautiful tranquil Saturday morning…and yet he decided that I had to be woken up. It was a serene Saturday morning, in Paris, who wouldn't want to sleep in for this occasion. Not bothering to listen to Yoru's reply, I gently rub off the sleep that remained near my eyes and walked slowly towards the balcony.

It was Saturday and we were supposed to be departing from Paris, France to London, England but for some reason there was a delay with the airlines which were companying our flight. So because of that, the orchestra is stuck here for another two weeks until the airlines can replace our flight.

Opening the balcony doors and stepping out, I intake the French breeze and looked at all of the new marvels that wouldn't be seen dead in Japan. The Eiffel Tower stood dominant from the view in which I was at. The towers majestic form over taking the heights of the other smaller buildings and on top of the tower sat a French flag, which seemed to wave proudly from its position.

"Ikuto…"

Once again ignoring Yoru's voice, I space out and look towards the distance. Paris was sure one amazing place, maybe next time I come here…maybe I might take the young king and Amu here…just maybe.

"IKUTO TSUKIYOMI NYAN~!"

"What is it Yoru…again…"

"YOU HAVE PRACTICE THIS MORNING! HAVEN'T YOU BEEN LISTENING TO ME AT ALL THIS MORNING NYAN? "

"…"

Shit…once again I've forgotten about band practice, Mr Kadaya wouldn't be happy with me if he caught me late…again. He was the conductor and manager of the orchestra. He found out about my playing when he passed by the park whilst I was relaxing and playing along with Yoru. From there he wouldn't take no as an answer for me joining his band. Though he is kind of strict…more like very. I'm surprised I have been kicked out because of my sense of time.

Quickly changing out of my clothes into some new clothing, I grab my velvet like violin case and call Yoru to quickly follow me. Quickly doing a character change, my tail and ears appeared, a grin forming within my face. Making sure no one could see me; I jumped from roof tops to roof top until I got to my destination…the auditorium. Changing out of my character form, I silently walk into the room of where practice was held. Looking around I couldn't see Mr Kadaya though very else sat in their designated seats, their eyes piercing onto me.

"IKUTO TSUKIYOMI! WHY ARE YOU LATE? AGAIN! "

Sighing slightly I turn around to see Mr Kadaya, his face visibly red from frustration and anger

"I'm sorry sir, I accidently slept in…"

Well not really an accident but hey who needs to know that.

"…you know how I am when it comes to new places Mr Kadaya. "

I said to him face to face. My face relaxed to its composed form, not afraid of what this little man could do to me.

"Tsukiyomi…"

Oh here comes the lecture…again.

"…you're a very talented violinist, you're lucky that your talent over powers you're…sense of time. If you don't improve your efforts to get to practice on time, sooner or later I would have no choice but to replace you from this group. "

Brushing off his threat, I walk towards my seat, sitting down with a plop and a composed face still present on my face, challenging anyone to tell me off.

"Anyways...As you know, we are here in France for another two weeks until the airline is able to fly all of us to London for internationals. Till then I have decided that we should hold auditions for new places in the orchestra to increase our numbers"

Mr Kadaya went on; as everyone seemed to mentally speculate whether this would be a positive or a negative to them. After all everyone had to audition for their positions in this orchestra, and I'm pretty sure none of them are willing to give up their positions easily.

"Now auditions will begin tomorrow…and I want EVERYONE to be on time tomorrow. We'll be going through the auditions individually and from there voting for new members will be undertook. That is all, you are dismissed"

And with that Mr Kadaya walked off leaving everyone to start bickering to each other about the auditions tomorrow. Unaffected by their chattering, I stand up, swinging my violin case over my shoulder and walking out of the auditorium, Yoru trailing behind me.

"Ne, Ikuto…do you think that Kadaya will replace you nyan…"

Concern slightly filled my face. This was my life now, away from everyone. Away from Utau, away from Amu, away from the young king, but this is the life that I have decided to go through. If someone was to replace me now, then I would have nowhere to go, nothing to achieve, my life would be a mess…once again.

"Hn…don't worry about it Yoru, I'm sure we'll be fine…"

"But Ikuto…"

"How bout we go to the Eiffel Tower…I need to take photos of use here and send them to Amu and Tadase…it's been too long since I've last sent those two something. I'll promise to buy you whatever type of fish snacks they have as well too Yoru. "

With a sigh Yoru looked over to me, concerned written all over his face

"If you say so nyan…"
