DISCLAIMER: I don't own La Corda or any of it's characters.

(Author's Note: I haven't been really clear on the pairings so far… Gomen! I can't seem to find a good place to interject a good place where the guys should realize that he loves Kaho… :P)

Kaho ran from the roof, between Fuyuumi and Amou, and stumbled down the stairs, with Fuyuumi and Amou close behind.

Kaho ran past the buildings and trees, seeing them as only blurs. She ran past Ryo, Hihara, and Azuma, not even noticing when they called her name.

She ran, and she kept running until she reached the statue of Lili in the school's courtyard.

Once there, she sat down, and hung her head between her knees, not shedding a single tear, but contemplating what just happened.

"Kaho-chan! Kaho-chan! Wait up Kaho-chan," exclaimed Hihara.

'Damn! That girl can run FAST,' he thought.

Hihara walked up to her and asked, "Kaho-chan, are you alright?"

Kaho seemed not to notice, so he sqatted down to her level and lifeted her chin up so she could see him.

A lone tear slid down her face.

Hihara stood her up, and gave her a quick hug.

Finally he let her go, once he realized what he just did, both of them blushing beet red.

At this time, Ryo and Azuma had run up (well, Ryo had run up, Azuma had taken his sweet time, because running isn't his thing).

"Kaho," said Ryo, "What's wrong?"

"Kaho just turned away, not yet ready to explain anything.

Mio, Nao, and Aiko had met up with Fuyuumi and Amou, who were running past their classroom in pursuit of Kaho.

Finally they arrived on scene, Amou carrying her camcorder in one hand while waving with her other hand.

"HEY! Tsuchira-kun! Hihara-sempai! Yunoki-sempai," she yelled while running to them," Good job! You found Kaho-chan!"

"Here," said Amou to Fuyuumi, "Take my camcorder and play it so that Tsuchira-kun, Yunoki-sempai, Hihara-sempai, Mio-chan, Nao-chan, and Aiko-chan can see what happened. Okay?"

"Hai Amou-sempai," exclaimed Fuyuumi.

"Tsuchira-kun, Hihara-sempai, Yunoki-sempai, Aiko-chan, Mio-chan, and Nao-chan, go over to Fuyuumi, she'll play the video on my camcorder so you guys know what happened, and you don't have to bother asking Kaho what happened between her and Mantako Niriyu-san," said Amou.

"What did that brain-dead, moron do THIS time," growled Ryo.

"That brain-dead moron listened to Kaho cry herself to pieces over him, and didn't do anything about it, he didn't even try to explain himself" said a cold voice.

"Tsukimori," said Ryo, "What do you mean?"

"Watch the video, you'll see exactly what I mean," said Len frostily.

"Fine," said Ryo, glaring at Len.

He walked over to where Fuyuumi-chan was and began watching the video.

Meanwhile, Amou and Len stayed with Kaho, to make sure she's okay.

Suddenly Kaji Aoi walked up, his blond hair being ruffled by the breeze, his blue eyes looking concerned for Kaho's well being.

(A/N: For those of you that don't know, Kaji Aoi's from the second season of La Corda, called: La Corda D'Oro Secondo Passo.)

"Hino-san, what's wrong? Did something happen," asked Aoi.

"Kaji-kun," said Amou, "Please go over there to Fuyuumi-chan. The explanation is in the camcorder she's holding."

"Hai, Amou-san," said Aoi as he began walking over to Fuyuumi and the others.

Kaho, from her standing position looked down at the ground.

"Kaho-san, listen to me. That imbecile wasn't worth your time. He is a worthless nitwit that doesn't deserve your attention," said Len.

Kaho looked up in surprise.

"Eh," she said in shock, "Tsukimori-kun?"

'Oh shit,' thought Len, 'I just sounded concerned for her, and I implied that her attention is worth something. Crap. Crap. Crap.'

He mentally slaps himself.

Kaho walks over to him and waves her hand in front of his face.

"Tsukimori-kun," she says earnestly.

"Hm," he says, "Yes Kaho-san?"

"Arigatoo Tsukimori-kun," says Kaho as she steps up to hug him.

Kaho stood on the tips of her toes, wrapped her arms around Lan's neck, and hugged him tight.

Len's eyes widened, and his cheeks turned the faintest shade of pink.

After a couple seconds, she let go, blushing.

'Did she just hug me??? Why? Is she just being nice to me or what? And why an I feeling all tingly," wondered Len.

"G-gomen Tsukimori-kun," apologized Kaho, "I don't know what came over me."

"Iie, Kaho-san, it's okay, you needed to let you emotions out," said Len, leaning close so only she could hear.

"A-arigatoo, Tsukimori-kun," stammered Kaho, blushing, shocked at what Len just said.

Suddenly Len's eyes softened, and a small smile broke out on his face.

'She looks so cute when she's blushing. What am I THINKING?!?!? But then again, it's kinda true,' thought Len.

'Eh??? Is Tsukimori-kun smiling?!? Is he okay," thought Kaho.

She rubbed her eyes and blinked, and his smile was gone.

Instead of a smile, was Len's usual blank look.

'Did I just imagine that smile,' wondered Kaho.

Suddenly Ryo, Hihara, Azuma, Aoi, Mio, Nao, Aiko, and Fuyuumi walked over.

All of the above except for Fuyuumi look shocked and enraged.

Fuyuumi just looks furious.

'I'm going to KILL that Niriya,' thought Azuma, Hihara, and Ryo.

'That idiot. Toying with Hino-san like that. He will regret his actions,' thought Aoi angrily.

Aiko ,Mio, and Nao were muttering amongst each other, conspiring against Niriyu.

Fuyuumi looks at her friends in satisfaction.

'Good. It's nice to know that that idiot will be dealt with extreme resentment,' she thought.

Kaho saw all her friends' angry faces and at once said, "Eh? You guys! Don't get frustrated over Niriya-kun for me! This is my problem! Not yours! Please, just let it be!"

"Iie Hino-san," said Aoi, "If this is your problem, it's our problem too. You're our friend, and no one messes with our friends."

"Hai!," exclaimed Mio, Nao, and Aiko.

"A-arigatoo," stammeres Kaho, too touched from her friends' words to say much else.

The warning bell rang for the children to start going to their classes.

"Eh? We're going to be late! See you guys later! BYE," yelled Hihara as he ran to the distant Music Department building.
