"Can I dance with you Tsukimori-san," said a small, shy voice.

Len looked up suddenly, torn away from his conversation with Kaho.

In front of him, was Hitomi, her eyes cast downwards, and her hands clasped in front of her.

"Onegai-shimas Tsukimori-san," she pleaded, "I've never danced at a party like this before, and I figured that since you're with Kaho-nee-chan, that both you you wouldn't mind?"

Kaho smiled softly at Hitomi's shyness.

Len looked at Kaho to make sure she wouldn't get mad, or jealous.

Kaho nodded, and Len stood up, a soft look in his eyes.

He bowed and said, "Hitomi-chan, may I have this dance?"

Hitomi's eyes lit up, and she smiled with glee.

She curtsied, and said, "You may, Tsukimori-san."

Together, they walked onto the floor, and readied themselves for the next dance that was coming on.

Suddenly, a gloved hand appeared in front of Kaho's face.

She glanced up in shock.

"Yunoki-sempai," Kaho exclaimed.

Yunoki smiled softly at Kaho.

"May I have this dance Hino-san," he asked politely, a wicked glint in his eyes.

Stunned Kaho, looked up at her upperclassman.

Shinobu, who had been sitting right next to Kaho, clenched his hand into a fist.

'That bastard,' thought Shinobu, 'He's trying to get Kaho to break up with Len. I'll have to explain everything to them after this dance.'

'Crap. I can't think of a way to decline without making myself look bratty,' Kaho thought in a panic, struggling to keep her composure.

Azuma looked down upon Kaho, thinking, 'She'll be mine in a matter of days at this rate.'

Reluctantly, Kaho stood up and curtsied.

She extended her hand, and walked with Azuma to the dance floor, followed by the shocked stares of Azuma's fangirls, Shinobu, and the rest of the concours participants, except for Fuyuumi and Keiichi.

They were on the floor already, poised and ready for the dance, and were gazing deeply into one another's eyes.

All at once, the quarter of the orchestra that decided to play the piece began playing "The Waltz of the Flowers" by Tchaikovsky.

Azuma led Kaho through the steps, and smirked at her.

'She'll be mine,' he thought wickedly while looking into his kouhai's eyes.

"Yunoki-sempai, why are you looking at me that way," mumbled Kaho.

"No reason my dear Kahoko," he smirked.

Meanwhile, back at the dining area, Shinobu had pulled Aoi into the viola prep room and was in the midst of explaining everything to him.

Aoi stared at Shinobu like he was insane.

"Ousaki-sempai, what in the world are you talking about," he exclaimed, "Yunoki-sempai would never do that!"

With that, Shinobu pulled out the tape recorder.

"Listen," he commanded.

Aoi huffed, but he did as his sempai asked him.

By the end of the tape, Aoi was completely convinced, and in complete and utter shock.

"That was Yunoki-sempai," he asked.

Shinobu nodded.

Aoi strode out of the prep room, a determined look on his face.

Shinobu shook his head.

'What the hell did I just do,' he thought.

*************

On the dance floor.

Azuma was about to confess to Kaho, and insist that she break up with Len, when Aoi stepped in.

An exact replica of Azuma's princely smile was plastered on Aoi's face as he tapped on Azuma's shoulder and said, "Excuse me Yunoki-sempai, may i step in?"

Aoi spat out Azuma's name as if it were a dirty cuss word.

Azuma ignored this and smiled a fake, gracious smile.

"Of course Kaji-kun," he smiled as he stepped back, allowing Kaho and Aoi to dance.

Of course, by this time, Len was steaming in jealousy, not understanding what was going on.

'What are they doing to her,' he grumbled in his head.

Kaho stared at Aoi confusedly.

"Kaji-kun, what's going on here," she questioned.

Aoi bent his head so that his mouth was next to her ear.

"Act normal, okay? I'm going to tell you something very important, and must keep your composure," he breathed.

Kaho nodded ever so slightly.

"Yunoki is trying to break you and Tsukimori up," he murmured.

Kaho's eyes widened.

"Nani," she exclaimed, struggling to keep her composure.

To anyone looking on at the pair, it seemed that Aoi had just confessed to Kaho.

As a result, many of Aoi's fangirls were looking murderously at Kaho, but, of course, Kaho was completely oblivious to all this.

Aoi placed a hand over Kaho's mouth, and dragged her out of the hall, and onto a balcony, leaving Len dancing with Hitomi.

Len wondered what Aoi was doing.

'What the hell????? Why is he doing that to MY Kaho,' thought Len murderously.

Back outside:

"Yunoki is trying to break you two up," Aoi repeated.

Kaho shook her head.

"I know Yunoki-sempai's not exactly the best person in the world, but he'd never go that far," she exclaimed.

Aoi shook his head.

"I'd never lie to in matters regarding your heart, Kaho-san," he said solemnly.

Kaho sobered immediately.

"Is he really trying to do that," asked Kaho sadly.

Aoi nodded.

Kaho sighed, "Should I talk with him?"

Inside, the song had just ended, and now Len was running over to Kaho's and Aoi's location.

Aoi shrugged, "If that's what you really want to do, but I'd suggest that you consult Ousaki-sempai first."

Kaho nodded sadly.

A tear ran down her face just as Len burst through the balcony doors.

As soon as Len saw Kaho's tear, he grabbed Aoi by the shoulders and pushed him against the wall.

"What did you do to her," snarled Len.

Kaho placed her hand on Len's shoulder, and shook her head.

Len looked at Kaho with a shocked expression on his face.

"Don't," said Kaho weakly, "Let Onii-san explain first."

Len pursed his lips into a tight line and nodded grimly.

Only then did Kaho collapse into his arms and begin sobbing.

Len rubbed her back comfortingly.

"Don't worry," he murmured to her, "Everything will be okay."

This only caused Kaho to sob harder.

Aoi ran back into the dining hall to locate Shinobu...

*Five minutes later*

Aoi returned with Shinobu trailing behind him..

Len and Kaho were still atnding in the same spot, in the same situation. Kaho was bawling her eyes out, and Len was comforting her.

Shinobu cleared his throat.

Len looked up, and seeing the two of them, gently led Kaho to a bench nearby and gently sat her own.

After verifying that Kaho was going to live without his attention for a couple moments, he walked over to Aoi and Shinobu, and uttered a single word.

"Explain."

Shinobu nodded and pulled out his tape recorder.

*************

"That bastard," said Len, carrying Kaho bridal style back to the dining table, with Shinobu and Aoi walking on either side of him.

Azuma glared at Len jealously, not knowing that Len was paying close attention to him.

As soon as he felt Azuma's glare upon him, Len turned around and stared at Azuma icily.

Shocked, Azuma took a step back, and very ungracefully collided with the waiter behind him, who happened to be carrying a huge punch bowl.

"G-gomen," stuttered the waiter shamefully.

Azuma ignored the waiter, glaring at him angrily and stalking off backstage, followed by his fangirls.

Shinobu and Aoi grinned at Len.

Len smirked slightly.

'That should teach him to mess with us,' he thought.

Len placed Kaho in the seat next to his, scooted her chair closer to his, and let Kaho rest her head on his shoulder.

Len turned to Kaho and wiped her tears away with his thumbs.

She looked up at his gratefully and smiled through her tears.

Len kissed her forehead and listened to the orchestra play.

*************

A couple hours after the dinner, back in the mansion's living room.

"Oji-san." exclaimed Hitomi, "Say something already!!!"

Kaho's, Hitomi's and Shinobu's grandfather was sitting comfortably on a single-seater black leather couch, staring at the newest addition to the family.

"Are you really Kahoko," he asked.

Kaho nodded.

Hiroki Ousaki stood up and walked slowly towards Kaho.

He extended a hand and traced her facial features and tears began welling in his eyes.

Hiroki grasped Kaho in a tight hug.

"You look exactly like your mother," he murmured, nearly strangling Kaho.

Everyone sweatdropped.

Suddenly, Hiroki put Kaho at arms' length again.

"But you have your fathers' eyes," he said, smiling.

Hikoki gazed up towrds the heavens and said, "Can you see what a beautiful young lady your daughter is?"

Kaho blushed at the compliment

"A-arigatoo Ousaki-sama," she stuttered.

Hiroki whirled on Kaho.

With a stern face, but laughing eyes, he said, " Call me Oji-san. I'm your grandfather remember?"

Kaho nodded, a grin on her face.

Hiroki then turned to Len.

"If you ever hurt her," said Hiroki, "Your music career will end faster than you can say 'gomenasai'. Other than that though, i home your intentions are pure. I was a teenage boy once as well, and boy do I remember those summer nights."

Len blushed a pale pink as Hiroki uttered those words.

"I, I, I would never-" stuttered Len.

Hiroki sat back down on the black couch, looking out through the window.

He turned to Len, smiled softly and said, "But just make sure to propose before you do anything, alright?"

Len turned even more pink, and Kaho blushed beet red.

"Oji-san," she exclaimed, "We're still in highschool!!!! We're still Sophomores! We're not going to-"

Hiroki cut Kaho off as he looked at and smiled.

All he did was smile, and look at Kaho knowingly.

Kaho stopped mid-sentence and stared back at her grandfather.

Hiroki winked and resumed his staring out the window.

'Kaede Hino,' he thought, 'Your daughter is every bit as beautiful as you. I hope you're watching over her."

(A/N: Kaede Hino is Kaho'sm Hitomi's, Shinobu's, Kazue's, and Satoru's mom.)

The End.
