DISCLAIMER: I don't own La Corda or any of it's characters.
(A/N: Thanks for all the advice you guys!!!!! I'm DEFINITELY gonna use your ideas! But I don't think they'll all fit in one chapter… Hmmm…)
As soon as they walked into the school, people had hushed, and had begun pointing and whispering.
Kaho stood up on her tiptoes and whispered into Len's ears, "Len, did we do something wrong?"
Len looked into Kaho's eyes and uttered one word, and immediately understood what happened.
"Amou," Len said angrily.
'Oh shit,' thought Kaho.
"But I didn't see her at the park yesterday," Kaho murmured.
"Yeah, neither did I, but she did take this picture, and I'm guessing that since she used her Polaroid, she must have run out of Film, so I think she might have even MORE pictures of us" said Len, handing Kaho the Polaroid his dad had given him.
'Crap,' thought Kaho.
Suddenly Mia, Nao, and Aiko ran up to them, waving newspapers in Len's and Kaho's faces.
"I TOLD you the Violin Romance would come true," Mio exclaimed to Nao.
Kaho looked from Mio, to Nao, to Aiko.
Aiko just looked pissed off…
"Aiko-chan, what's wrong," inquired Kaho.
"I am extremely pissed off at Amou right now," said Aiko through gritted teeth.
"Nao, give Kaho-chan a newspaper, would you," asked Mio.
"Here," said Nao, "I never thought you'd get the guts to actually confess to him… Congrats!"
Nao turned to Len and said, "You've got yourself a great girl there, but if you hurt her, it'll be the last thing you ever do. Kaho-chan doesn't need to lose anyone else."
Kaho looked at Nao sharply and said, "Nao."
"Nani," responded Nao.
Kaho shook her head, and said, "I'll tell him later."
Len looked at his girlfriend curiously.
"Tell me what," he asked.
"Later," said Kaho, her eyes downcast, "I'll tell you later."
"Okay then… May I look that the newspaper? I'd like to see what Amou did," said Len.
"I'll turn it over on the count of three and we'll look at it together, okay," asked Kaho.
"Hai," said Len, putting an arm around his girlfriend's shoulders.
"One, two, three," voiced Kaho.
She gasped.
Len clenched his hand into a fist.
On the front page of the newspaper, was a picture of Kaho and Len locked in a passionate kiss, the title headlining "Violin Romance Come True!"
(A/N: Kudos to PrayerSenshi for coming up with the title of the headline :D)
'Amou is so dead,' he thought angrily.
"Where is Amou," he growled.
"I'm right here," said Amou.
"Listen, I know you're angry, but before you murder me in cold blood, I want to tell you what I have in mind," Amou said hastily.
Amou turned to Kaho.
"Your sister is quite the evil genius… I would never have come up with this on my own," Amou said.
Kaho looked confused for a moment, but then the truth dawned on her face.
"So THAT'S why Kazue seemed so happy yesterday after I got home," she murmured.
--FLASHBACK—
"Onee-san," called Kaho, "Where are you?"
"In here Kaho," called Kazue.
"Where?" asked Kaho.
"In the computer room you weirdo," called Kazue.
Kaho ran up the stairs and into the computer room to greet her sister.
"Onee-san!!! I found you," exclaimed Kaho happily, giving her sister a big hug.
Kazue had a big grin plastered on her face.
"Onee-san, what's happening? Why are you smiling like that," inquired Kaho.
"I'm just checking my e-mail Kaho," explained Kazue.
Kaho peeked at the screen Kazue was looking at.
You have new mail from Journalizm_iz_da_ regarding: The Two Lovebirds and the Killjoy.
"Onee-san, what's that about," inquired Kaho.
"Nande, Kaho, why don't you go do your homework," said Kazue, she grin still plastered on her face.
"Hai onee-san," said Kaho doubtfully, looking at her deranged sister.
--END OF FLASHBACK—
Kaho looked up at Amou.
"So YOU'RE Journalizm_iz_da_," exclaimed Kaho, "What was that e-mail about?"
"All Kazue told me to tell you, is that althought you are against revenge, she isn't and this is all part of her plan to get back at that idiot Mantako dude," said Amou.
Len's face instantly cleared.
"If it has anything to do with injurung Niriya either emotionally or physically, I'm in," he said immediately.
Kaho looked at her boyfriend in shock.
"Eh? Len, you're not serious, are you," asked Kaho.
"I'm dead serious Kahoko. That psychotic freak hurt you, and he won't get away with it," Len said angrily.
"I'm in too," said Aiko, "He hurt both me and Kaho, and I wanna make sure he'll never hurt anyone else ever again."
"Us too," exclaimed Mio and Nao.
"That guy needs to SUFFER," exclaimed Nao.
Kaho looked at all her friends in defeat.
"I suppose that no matter what I do, you're going to get revenge on Niriya, so if you guys are going to, why should I be left out? I want a share in the fun too," she said, "I'm in."
At this time, Ryo, Kazuki, Fuyuumi, Shimizu, and Azuma decide to walk over.
Both Ryo and Kazuki have dark clouds hanging over them (anime style), and are moping around.
Shimizu is half awake and looking at Fuyuumi dreamily, and Azuma is smiling a princely smile.
Ryo, Kazuki, and Azuma are all thinking, 'That lucky bastard made a move on Kaho before even got close to her. But if he makes her happy…'
But after that, only Azuma thought, 'Iie! I will fight for her. I will make her mine.'
"Hi Kaho-chan," said Kazuki, looking put out, and more pessimistic than Kaho before she takes a math test.
Ryo looks at Len and says, "Tsukimori, you'll regret this day if ever you hurt her."
"Don't you think I know that already," said Len coldly.
Kaho looked at Ryo and Len and stepped between them.
"Would you two stop it already? Jeez! If I didn't know you two better I'd think you were toddlers fighting over a toy," she exclaimed.
Len and Ryo looked at her and thought, 'You have no idea.'
The unfortunate Niriya chose this time to walk in and grab Kaho by the shoulders.
He spun her around and yelled, "What the hell do you think you're doing? You're still mine, and yet you go around kissing other guys? What the hell is wrong with you?"
Niriya had a crazed look in his eyes as he shook her.
Kaho suddenly stiffened, and brushed Niriya's hands off her shoulders, and pushed him away from her, hard.
Niriya fell to the ground.
Kaho looked at Niriya with hatred evident in her eyes.
"Leave. Me. Alone. I never want to see you again Niriya Mantako. You hurt everyone around you by simply being here. Go away," she said heartlessly.
Kaho turned on her heel, and walked briskly away, her eyes gleaming with unshed tears.
Niriya got up, walked over to her, grabbed her shoulder, spun her around yet again, and said, "Are you sure this is what you want Kahoko?"
Niriya leaned down to Kaho's height, cupped his hand on her cheek, wiped her tears away with her thumb, and pressed his lips against hers.
Kaho's eyes widened in shock.
Len clenched his hands in anger and began walking over to them.
She pulled away and said, "Niriya, I am taken already, and unlike some people, I have no desire to cheat on someone I love. Goodbye Niriya."
Kaho turned and ran in the direction of the rooftop.
"BAKA! Don't you realize that you're just hurting her more," yelled Aiko.
Niriya gazed at the ground, his eyes full of remorse.
"You were a mistake," he murmured.
"Excuse me," asked Aiko.
"I said, 'You were a mistake'. We were never supposed to get together! I never loved you! I loved Kaho the whole time! You were just a distraction! Someone I could practice my kissing on! I never wanted to be with you. You were a mistake," repeated Niriya.
His words struck home.
Tears began running down Aiko's pretty face.
Her green eyes were filled with sadness.
Ryo walked up to her and wrapped his arms around the sobbing girl.
Shimizu tore his eyes away from Fuyuumi to look at Niriya with hatred.
"To you, girls may be some plaything to pass the time with, or some little treat to enjoy from time to time, but in truth, they are valuable flowers. If we treat them right, they will blossom and bloom, but if treated incorrectly, they will wither and die. You, Niriya Mantako, are an awful gardener, and you bring shame to all that hope to have successful relationships with the ones they love," said Shimizu angrily.
Ryo took his arms from around Aiko and turned to Niriya.
"If you know what's good for you, you'd leave. Now," he growled at Niriya.
Niriya's eyes widened and he took a step back.
Finally he turned towards the main office and left the group of angry teenagers behind.
Aiko dried her eyes, pulled out her compact, fixed her face, turned to Amou, and said, "Did you get all that?"
"Hai," affirmed Amou, "When we hold the welcoming concert for the Tokyo Gakkan Urayasu High School, that will be played at end. All the students that attend Niriya's old school will realize what an awful person her is, and therefore destroy his social credibility."
"What was that about," chorused a Kazuki, Ryo, Azuma, and Shimizu.
(A/N: Fuyuumi already knew about the plot to destroy Niriya and had joined in the festivities.)
"Revenge on Niriya," explained Amou.
"Count me in," chorused Kazuki and Ryo.
"I'm in too," said Shimizu sleepily, he was tired again from using too much energy on Niriya.
Suddenly the look on Ryo's face sobered.
"Tsukimori, you go find Kaho and console her, we'll take care of everything here," said Ryo.
"Hai," said Len as he turned and ran off to go find his girlfriend.
