"Now for Hihara Kazuki's performance, Gavotte, by Gossec!" exclaimed Hitomi.
Everyone was joined in one of the Ousaki mansion's excessively large soundproof rooms.
At that moment, they were participating in a little contest that Hitomi had thought up after they had finished cleaning up the kitchen.
Kazuki pulled out his trumpet from its case (everyone had conveniently brought their instruments, except for Ryo, who couldn't really have brought his instrument. Let's just say that the bus was excessively big and was designed especially for band trips.).
He looked at everyone, excitement twinkling in his eyes, "Arigatou minna-san," he said, "I hope you enjoy this piece!"
He placed his trumpet to his lips, and began playing.
Almost immediately the happiness portrayed in Kazuki's playing had everyone grinning, well, except for Len (he was smiling faintly).
Len glanced over at Kaho.
Her eyes were closed, and she was leaning against the couch, slumped in a mixture of tiredness and relaxedness.
'She looks so peaceful,' thought Len, 'I hate that I'm going to have to leave her here... What am I going to do when I leave for Vienna?'
Len snaked his arm around Kaho's waist and kissed her forehead just as Kazuki's song ended.
Everyone erupted into applause, and Kaho's eyes opened in surprise.
She looked into Len's eyes, searching, but all she saw was a small twinkle of happiness.
"Thank-you Hihara-sempai for that wonderful piece. Next up is Tsuchira Ryotaro playing The Beautiful Blue Danube by Strauss," said Hitomi.
Ryo stepped up to the Bosendofer concert grand, cracked his knuckles, gently placed his fingers on the right keys, winked at his audience, and began playing.
Amou pulled out her camera, as she had with Kazuki, and began snapping photos, not bothering with her recorder, since it was already on the tripod and had been recording the whole thing.
Amazingly, Shimizu Keiichi was the only one that was fully awake, since he was accustomed to staying up all night playing his cello.
He stood, and extended his hand to Fuyuumi Shoko.
"May I have this dance?" he asked.
Shoko blushed rose red and nodded shyly.
She stood, placed her right hand in Keiichi's and the other on his shoulder.
Keiichi placed his right hand on Shoko's waist, blushing slightly, and lightly squuezed her hand.
Off they danced throughout the room, only seeing each other, stars in their eyes, and forgetting that everyone else existed.
Kaji Aoi laughed and extended his hand to Hitomi, not wanting her to feel left out.
She giggled and took his hand, and off they spun as well.
Soon, almost every couple was up dancing. Those who weren't were either sleeping, hiding, taking pictures (Amou Nami), or asking their partners to dance at that very moment.
Len stood up, and extended his hand to Kaho.
Instead of saying anything, Len simply looked into Kaho's eyes, smiling gently.
Kaho nodded, and stood up, feeling silly as she waltzed in her pajamas.
Amou was giggling with glee.
'Wait until Misa Hamai-san sees this! She'll DEFINITELY give me those photos of baby Len then!' she thought evilly, a grin plastered on her face.
Suddenly, a soft pitter-pattering was heard on the windows.
Everyone rushed to see what was happening.
"It's raining!" exclaimed Kazuki.
"No, Really?" said Amou sarcastically.
Hihara blushed in embarrassment.
A distant rumbling was heard, accompanied by a flash of light.
Kaho, who was standing next to a window away from the rest of the group, cringed back from the glass, and right into Len.
She turned, looked up at him in surprise, and then clung to him, burying her face in his white pajama t-shirt.
Len's arms encircled her hesitantly, and drew her close to him, one hand on the nape of her neck, the other around her waist.
Amou discreetly took several pictures with her camera, making a mental note to upload them to her computer while everyone was asleep.
All the boys (except Keiichi, he was busy comforting Shoko) looked at Len jealously, wishing that they were in his position, and not him.
As for Len, at that moment, there couldn't have been a happier person on Earth.
Even though he didn't show it, Len was happy that he was still able to hold Kaho in his arms.
'I won't be able to do this when I go to Vienna,' he thought sadly.
The rain gradually lessened, and eventually came to a full stop.
The clouds parted, and gave way to a beautiful curtain of stars.
Suddenly, Kaho went up on her tiptoes, and kissed Len's cheek.
Realizing what she had done, she turned look out at the stars, and blushed, still in his arms, which were now around her waist.
Len turned a light shade of pink at looked down at the redhead in his arms.
'Nani?' he thought, 'What just happened?'
He rested his chin on the top of her chin.
"BANZAI!"
Everyone suddenly turns around, only to get a face full of pillow.
"Think fast minna-san!" cries Hitomi, throwing pillows at everyone.
Len quickly whirls Kaho around, letting the pillow hit his back instead of Kaho.
He caught both pillows before they hit the ground, handed one to Kaho, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into the fray.
Suddenly, they were forced apart, and it was every person for themselves.
Kaho ducked, twisted, and spun away from all the pillows aimed at her, safely dodging them.
She eventually reached the edge of the tumult, huffing and puffing, and a smile as large as Jupiter on her face.
Unfortunately for her though, a bunch of Len's fangirls happened to find her.
"NYAAAA!" they screamed, rushing towards the girl that took their Ice Prince away from them.
Usually, under normal circumstances, Len would have rushed to Kaho's aid.
But then again, that would have been impossible, considering the fact that he was surrounded by Kaho's fanboys.
So, whilst the two were battling to save their lives, the others were just having fun...
Before they even knew it, the sun had risen, and everyone was collapsed on the ground, either sitting, or laying down on the pillows that they had been hitting each other with.
Hitomi looked sleepily up at her onee-san, who sleeping gently in Len's arms on the couch, and enjoying every moment of it.
'They look so happy,' she thought, a smile brushing her face, 'I hope they can stay like that forever.'
A loud clanging noise came from the doorway.
Everyone started, looking at the location of the noise with a shocked expression on their faces.
There, Hitomi's, Shinobu's and Kaho's grandpa was seen, holding a ladle in one hand, and a pot in the other.
Behind him, Shinobu was smiling with an amused look on HIS face.
"Time to get up," exclaimed the old man, a huge grin on his face.
"Ojisan," whined Hitomi, "We're still tired, please give us another half-hour."
Everyone sleepily murmured their agreement.
"Nonsense!" cried a loud and familiar voice.
Len woke up immediately and looked up in shock.
Kaho sleepily woke from Len's sharp reaction, and looked at the source of the sound that had destroyed her tranquility.
