Lily looked down at the list, frowning, while trying to both avoid running into a tree and keeping up with her other musical friends. The list she was looking at was for the National High School Music Competition or NHSMC. Every year the board in charge sent out a list of all the instruments that would be allowed in. Only problem was that it was all or nothing and there was one blank spot on their list.

"Ok," she said with finality "so here's the problem. We don't have a female violinist."

Even though Isabella was walking in front of her and she couldn't see her face Lily could almost hear her rolling her eyes in her voice when she exclaimed, "We know that, Lily. That's why we're walking around in this damp forest."

Then she stopped dead as though hit by a sudden thought and turned slowly around tossing her gorgeous blond hair in that infuriating way she had and stared at William Turner. "Come to think of it," she said slowly, "just why are we walking around in a damp forest on a Friday afternoon?"

Will looked up through his long black hair and grinned at the girl, "Because, my dear Izzy, nature stimulates the mind. I was hoping that our nature walk would give one of us a brilliant revelation that would help us find a brilliant female violinist."

Izzy scowled, showing perfect teeth. She didn't like Will very much. He was one of the only boys at school that not only could resist her charm and beauty but seemed to mostly just ignore it. It drove her absolutely crazy.

Lucas, Will's best friend and total opposite and the youngest in the group, sighed and pulled his hands over his head saying, "But, Will, really what are we going to find all the way out here?"

Will just shrugged with a dazzling grin and Lily sighed as well. "Well, if we don't find someone soon, like in a month, we'll have to pull out NHSMC the one year we actually have a chance!" she said.

Then turning to the silver haired boy lagging slightly behind the rest and asked, "What do you think Sesshomaru? You work with other violinists, is there any girl who could work at Seiso?"

Sesshomaru Ito lifted his head and considered the others. Sesshomaru was the only one, other than Will, who was actually known in the musical world and had been called a real genius. He was the odd one out in the group, what with his stoic demeanor and silver hair. He was also one of the only Japanese boys in whole school.

He snorted, "Not even close. Only a hand full of those girls can even hold the instrument correctly. If we need to relay on one of them then we should just pull out now."

As Izzy, Will and Kohaku turned on Sesshomaru for his bluntness and negativity, Lily looked at the violin genius with something close to pity. Sesshomaru Ito could have gone to any of the top music school but for some reason he was stuck in this, a high end school but the best. She had often wondered why he stuck with them.

Lily was about to say something to calm the group down but was interrupted by a strange sound. The group, all classically trained ears, all stopped talking and froze.

Unnaturally and amazingly there was music wafting up among the trees. It took them only a second to recognize the sound. "Violin," said Kohaku softly.

Will very suddenly spun around and grinned at the group, "What did I tell you?" he exclaimed and took off after the sound.

The rest glanced at each other and then took off after their friend. Only Sesshomaru held back, walking slowly after them, a strange look on his face.

Lily and the others finally caught up with Will who quickly motioned them to slow down and keep quiet. The group approached slowly and peered around the tree that Will was hiding behind.

Looking beyond the tree Lilly saw about the last thing in the world she was expecting. There was a girl standing in the clearing playing a violin.

She looked to be about a year younger then the group and had long black hair. Her eyes were closed as she played on a slightly old but still beautiful violin. The tune that was coming out of the instrument was expert and sweet. Oh, and there was one more thing. She was wearing the grey General Studies uniform of their high school.

For a long time the group of musical genius students stood transfixed behind the tree watching the strange girl as she played a complex musical piece flawlessly. They could have stayed there all day when the girl suddenly did something that shocked them.

The black haired girl bent slightly over and, without any warning, launched into a faultless Hover technique. Lily felt a large gasp escape her mouth and the spell was broken.

The girl nearly dropped the violin; the beautiful note abruptly cut off and spun toward them opening the blackest eyes any of them had ever seen. They could see now she was probably Japanese.

For a moment nobody moved and then Will took the lead. He stepped forward with both hands stretched out and said with his most dazzling smile, "Well this is a pleasant surprise! I don't suppose… Hey wait!"

He was cut off by the girl abruptly picking her violin case and taking off in the opposite direction on a dead run.

Kohaku ran a few steps after her calling for her to stop but stopped when the mysterious girl disappeared from sight. He turned back with the same perplexed expression that Lily saw on all the other's faces as well.

Well, all accept one. Turning around to look at Sesshomaru, Lily saw a look in his eyes that see couldn't quite place. Recognition? Anger? Amusement? All three?

Will let out a confused little laugh and spreading his arms wide asked, "Was it something I said?"
