~man, this girl is hot.~ Demyx thought; his eyes concealing his hunger. ~ I know I'm not supposed to eat the girls here at the academy, but i bet she tastes really good.~ Demyx rose from his seat and smiled at her. "I'm going outside for a bit, do 'ya wanna come?" "sure." they made their way out of the music room, and down the hall. Aika could feel her heart beating in her chest. ~he's so cute! and i think he likes me.~ with these thoughts in mind, she could not help smiling to herself. their footsteps echoed lightly on the white marble tile; as they rounded a corner, the sunlight coming in from the glass walls shone brightly in their eyes. finally coming out into the court yard; Demyx took the lead. "I want to go sit under that tree over there." he said pointing. "okay" she said; after noticing the tree that he had referred to. they padded through the soft grass towards the tree. it provided a lot of shade for a tree so small. the pair sat cross-legged in the grass; Demyx had placed the sitar in his lap, and leaned back against the tree. "so," Aika began "are you going to play?" "do you want me to?" he asked with a laugh. "sure." she said; smiling softly. "okay." Demyx began effortlessly plucking at the strings; at first the music was slow and hypnotic, relaxing even. Demyx closed his eyes as he began to up the pace; he became lost in the music, as it flowed from the strings. the music seemed to go on endlessly; the tempo seamlessly transitioning between slow melodic tunes, and fast paced rhythms, until finally it reached its climax. "wow," Aika began. "Demyx, that was beautiful!" Demyx smiled triumphantly. "thanks." at that moment Aika started to wonder how much time had passed; she pulled out her pocket watch and opened it. "oh, no!" she cried. "I'm sorry Demyx, I have to go or 'il be late for class!" Demyx watched as she scurried away. ~should have known, for some reason, girls just don't seem to like the sitar.~ Roxas had just arrived at the classroom, and was standing inside waiting; as the other students began to gather. ~I wonder if she'll really come?~ he thought. just then a deep voice broke his train of thought. "alright, class will now begin!" with a sigh, Roxas got into line with the other students. Aika's footsteps clopped loudly as she tore down the halls. as she rounded a corner she slammed into something; and with a loud thud she fell backwards. as she rubbed her forehead, she opened her eyes to see a boy doing the same; "oh! I'm so sorry!" she cried. "no, no, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been running." the boy admitted. "well, I was running too." Aika insisted. the spiky haired boy rose to his feet, and extended his hand to help her up. "my names Sora." he stated." "thanks, I'm Aika." she replied. "I'm late for martial arts class." she added." Sora laughed "really? I'm on my way there too!" "we should go, or we'll be late!" Aika reminded. "ahh! your right, lets go!" and with that, the pair tore down the halls. when they finally made it to the classroom; it was apparent the class had started already. as soon as they stepped inside, they were met with a glare from the sensei. "class has already begun!" his voice stern. the rest of the class stopped to watch the ensuing drama. sora stepped forward. "please, sensei! we didn't mean to be late!" but the sensei only looked on with discontent. "it wont happen again!" continued Aika. the stoic, old, sensei stared at her; brows furrowed and arms crossed. she met his dark orbs with her own fierce stare; refusing to back down. "fine," he said with a sigh. "'il make an exception this time." and with that; he turned to the rest of the class; all of which jumped back into position, as soon as he returned his attention. the two separately made their way into the group; with a quick wave goodbye Sora went over to some one he apparently new. and Aika went over to where she saw Roxas waiting. "hey, sorry I'm late." she whispered. "oh," Roxas said with a surprise. "I didn't think you'd make it." "well, I got caught up with this guy I met earlier." Roxas could see a smile tugging at her features. a bit curious, he had to ask "so, he your new boyfriend or something?" "what? no!" a blush now spreading across her face. "he's just a guy I met in music class." she explained. mimicking the sensei; the group stood in a fighting stance, and began the punching exorcises. Roxas corrected her stance and posture before asking "what's his name?" Aika smiled before answering. "..Demyx."
