They slowly opened the door. The moon poured a soothing light into the room, lighted up the whole space. Quick enough, Maki had pushed aside anything else to approach the piano. The red hair didn't care about what the others might do. She lifted the cover up, revealed the white and black key. The other members knew she was now in her own world, so they decided to all sat down and enjoyed what she could play. Much to their surprise, Maki quickly rang a happy melody through the air, as if the past had ceased to ever exist.

"Eli, you know it right?" Still had her eyes on the keys, Maki asked the blonde, who was closing her eyes in relaxing.

"Eh, know what?" Eli didn't see that coming, so she was surely caught surprised. She couldn't help herself from wondering about it, it. What exactly was Maki talking about? Before Eli, and anyone, could have any chance to ask anything, Maki had broken the ice.

"You know what? She always told me to meet her behind the music. Weird right? She was always there, so I never thought to find a place to meet her." Maki stopped playing for a bit, before continued "Leaving so sudden like that, never in my life I will think music was a place. This sound.." She pressed the key harder, "..It is like the wheel of time had stopped. At the moment she fell down. At the moment my father turned away with tears in his eyes. The moment she left us behind."

Maki clenched her fists together and shot an angry gaze to everyone. Everyone silently gulped. It was very scary to see a Maki like this,

"No, Maki-chan, she didn't want to leave. Just God had decided it was time for her to leave." Nozomi slid a card to the table, softly smiled "She is waiting for us behind the music. Can't you see?"

"Yes, Maki, she is there."

Maki couldn't manage to understand them all. 5 years. She had been wondering about it for 5 years long. Where exactly was that place? Was it even a place? Or simply just a word to prove that Umi didn't meann to leave her behind. All those thoughts really drove her to the edge of falling down. Gnashing her teeth, Maki violently pressed the keys, only to hurt the piano. The others eyes her carefully, because they knew, they knew nothing either.

"Maki-chan, am I wrong or the piano sound a bit off?" Kotori spoke to Kotori, Maki finally realized that she was hurting the piano. And true to be tell, one key sound off.

"What the? Is it broken?" Maki flinched, danced along the keys one more time to make it sure. And there it was, the broken key.

"You pressed it to hard you know." Nico grumpily said, and the others shush her up immidiately.

"Something is wrong…" Maki mumbled to herself, before realized that that certain key had something inside it. The red hair moved that thing from it's place, only to reveal a roll of paper. Maki picked it up. At first, she thought it was some trick or some prank. The red hair sank deeper into the chair, her hands rolled the paper open. The girls eyed her curiously.

"This is.." Maki opened her eyes widely "..Behind the music."

"Maki…"

"Eli." The red hair suddenly call out, and once again, the blonde was surprised.

"Yes."

"I met her." Maki said, turned her head to face the others. She shot them a warm smiled, and they gladly accepted it,

"No Maki-chan, we met her." They both had the same thinking, as Maki handed them the paper. Their eyes were all lit up with a heart-warming sensation, as their voice rang out in unison.

Hey Maki, you finally made it here.

It might take a longer time than I expect, but I guess it was okay.

It is great that you finally get to know the behind the music a little closer, right?

I know one day, we might be far away, so I did this.

Don't misunderstand me okay. I never want that day to come. But who know? Maybe like Nozomi said, God decided them all.

Anyway, I just want to say, I love you so much. Sure, I said that everyday to you, but that's not enough.

I love every Muse's members too. But I guess you are different.

Don't ever let the wheel of time stop on your soul. And if we would ever be far apart, please always remember me.

Your partner, Umi.

A/N:

Man, that was over. I know this is short, but meh, please forgive me.

Anyway, next story, might not be EliUmi. I said might not okay. I could probably be though.

Thanks for supproting me.

OKay, Dankai out.
