Yukiko: Whoa! I am so surprised!
Ichigo: At what?
Yukiko: The fact that every time I open my laptop there's always a new review for Silent Love!
Toshiro: "Is that all you got excited about?"
Yukiko: Well no duh! The more people read and review the more inspired I am to update even faster!
Ichigo: *sighs* Yukiko does not own anything from Bleach only her story plot!
Response to Review
Black Cat Angel: Yukiko:It is cute huh? Ichigo: Don't classify me as cute!
toshirokun13: Yukiko:I'm glad that you enjoy reading this story! Toshiro: "You share the same name as I…" Yukiko: That's so cute!
Hotaru Shizuma: Ichigo: You are so weird! Yukiko: Ichigo! Don't' say that to her! She is an awesome friend! Shame on you! *beats him with a slipper*

yumi-2121331: Yukiko: that is such a good idea! Ichigo: Maybe I should go ask her.
SillyWQ: Yukiko: Thanks, for the support! I didn't really know that this story had so much in it! Toshiro: "Well are you dense." Yukiko: Shut up! Leave me alone!
ReonRewan: Yukiko: I think I'll use that idea! But in later chapters, I think using a pen and a notebook is a bit more romantic during this time don't you think?
animegurl103: Yukiko: Alright! Yeesh! I'll bring the DVDs the next day! Toshiro: "Excuse her forgetfulness, she is quite stupid." Yukiko: TAKE THAT BACK!
xTKx: Yukiko: Thank you for liking this story. I always thought it was hot that Asian guys can play instruments, so I tested it out on these two! I enjoy hurting Toshiro too! Toshiro: "HEY!"
FullmetalKeyblade-13: Yukiko: Yay! I wish I could hear them too! I would give anything! Oh yes, I can play the piano and my boyfriend plays the violin. So I had this idea with these two instruments together for a while but never found out how to put it on a Fanfic. I want to learn sign language as well. And I'm so sorry that they are short! *cries in corner*
BreathexFreely: Thank you for loving it! Oh! I was planning to do that in the future chapters anyways! *smiles*
LEGENDS!

"Writing"
Toshiro Hitsugaya let out a huff as he sat cross-legged in the middle of his bed with many piano pieces scattered on his wooden floor. He was upset that he was told that he must not attend school all because he got beaten up after school the previous day.
I've gotten beaten before, it's not like there any difference…
Toshiro crawled over his bed and picked up a random sheet and saw what the title was, Waltz of Chihiro. That was the piece he played when he first joined the Music Club and Ichigo listened and enjoyed. Ichigo Kurosaki, is now considered as his friend. Was Ichigo really his friend or was he just doing this out of pity; Toshiro will never find out. The thing is, every time Ichigo stares at Toshiro a blush would always appear on his face and his heart will start racing like the flapping of a hummingbird.
I don't have feelings for Ichigo… we only met yesterday for goodness sake!
Toshiro grabbed a fist full of his white locks and began to pull before letting out a silent scream. He's been cooped up in his room from morning and it is about time that all the students went home. Suddenly footsteps were rushing up the staircases and before Toshiro could even guess who it was, Momo came crashing through the door.
"Are you alright Shiro?" Momo had this ability to tell what Toshiro was feeling, kinda like a sister complex ability.
'I'm fine, how was school?'
Momo went to a different school than Toshiro and Ichigo, her school let out earlier than them so she was always home before Toshiro.
"It was alright. Tell me why you are upset? And don't say it's nothing!" Momo walked forward to Toshiro only to slip and fall on her butt all because she slipped on one of Toshiro's piano sheets.
"ACK!"
With a loud thud, Momo was sprawled on the floor. Toshiro burst into silent laughter and had to hold his sides just to stop the pain.
"Mou, that was not funny Shiro!"
'Yes it was!'
"Was Not!"
'Was so!'
They both heard the house doorbell ring and they both felt very competitive that they both ran down to see who can open the door first. Toshiro was out of his room first but fell due to Momo grabbing his ankles. She stood up quickly and ran to the stairs.
"Not this time Shiro!"
Toshiro let out a growl and pushed himself off the floor and chased after his cousin. They both reached the top of the stairs and Momo slowed down as she descended down the stairs but sadly Toshiro did not see her so he ended up running into her; sending them tumbling down the stairs. The house was filled his Momo's groans and Toshiro's silent ones.
"Honestly, is there ever a day where you two will not end up in a heap at the bottom of the stairs?" Toshiro and Momo looked up to see their Granny standing above them, shaking her head and all the while smiling. She calmly went to the door and opened it only to see none other than Ichigo standing there.
"Good evening Mrs. Hitsugaya. I'm here to give Toshiro his homewo…" his voice died down as he looked over the old lady's shoulder and saw what has become of the teens of the household.
"Uh, did I miss something?" asked Ichigo as he tried to control his urge to laugh. Toshiro composed himself as he got off of the floor and walked towards Ichigo.
"Hey aren't you going to help me up?" asked Momo. Toshiro turned around and smirked at her,
'Not today Momo.'
The white haired teen took the papers from Ichigo, 'Thank you.'
Ichigo smiled, "I don't need a translator for that one. You're welcome Toshiro." The said boy turned his head away to hide his blush.
Kyoko smiled at her grandson's action, "Ichigo, why don't you come inside?"
Ichigo shook his head, "Thank you for the offer, but I'm afraid I must decline. I have to get back to help my dad with the clinic."
Toshiro felt a twinge of sadness as he listened to Ichigo's decline, What the hell!
Toshiro watched Ichigo walked down through the garden and out the gates before stopping and called back to Toshiro, "Oh, Toshiro! There's going to be a meeting tomorrow for the Music Club! Bring your sheets okay!"
Toshiro nodded and watched Ichigo continue his way down the street and into his house before closing the door.
The next day, Toshiro woke up and got dressed for school. He collected his books and his piano binder before heading downstairs for some breakfast. He entered the kitchen and saw Momo standing at the kitchen stove frying some eggs. Their Granny was upstairs asleep, so whenever either of them were heading out they would always write a note indicating where they were going and when they will get back, but usually for school they would just write School. Momo turned around and smiled warmly at her cousin,
"Good morning Shiro! Would you like some eggs?"
In return she got a smile from the teen, 'Good morning Momo and yes I would love some.'
They ate in silence before cleaning up the dishes and headed out for school; Momo wrote it down for their Grandmother.
'Momo, I'm going to be staying after school today for a club. I'll be walking home with Ichigo.'
Momo nodded, "Alright, I'll be sure to tell Granny that." They both stepped out of the house and heard someone call out to them,
"Morning Toshiro! Morning Momo!" The two turned around and saw Ichigo standing there by the gates waving towards them.
"Good Morning Ichigo," smiled Momo, Toshiro gave him a nod, "Are you going to walk Toshiro to school today?"
The Berry scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "Yeah, my dad didn't want the same incident that happen be done again, plus I didn't want that either."
Toshiro sent a glare towards Ichigo, 'so you think I'm weak and defenseless?'
Ichigo looked lost and turned to Momo for help, "He says that you think he's weak and defenseless?"
The Kurosaki was taken aback from this question, "I would never think of you that way Toshiro! Honest!"
The said teen just rolled his eyes, walked past Ichigo and began down the street. Ichigo quickly said his goodbye to Momo before running after the teen who just left him.
"Dude, that was rude!" Toshiro only shrugged and continued walking. The entire trip to school was silent as usual, but it was a comfortable silence.
This is going to be an interesting day… they both thought.
At nutrition, Toshiro flowed Ichigo to his usual spot so that he can introduce him to his friends. To tell you the truth, Toshiro was scared the shit out of him, he's never done this before so why did it have to happen during high school where everyone is picky about who they hang out with. Toshiro was on the urge to run the other direction but Ichigo really did look all excited in meeting his friends, so he thought otherwise. At last they reached their destination, Ichigo immediately saw Rukia, Tatsuki, Renji, Chad, Uryuu, and Orihime.
"Hello Ichigo! Oh isn't that the new student?" Orihime looked at Toshiro with a smile. The Htisugaya hid behind Ichigo out of instinct and the Berry saw what he did as did everyone else,
"Oh I'm so sorry! Um, Toshiro Hitsugaya is it? I'm so sorry that I frightened you. My name is Orihime Inoue ,"
"I'm Tatsuki Arisawa."
"Call me Chad."
"Yo, I'm Renji Abarai, squirt."
"I'm Uryuu Ishida."
Toshiro left his hiding place from behind Ichigo and looked at Ichigo, "It's alright Toshiro, they just want to meet you."
Toshiro quickly pulled out his notebook that Ichigo gave him and scribbled down his words,
"Don't treat me like I'm some little kid!"
Ichigo laughed at him as the notebook was shoved at his face, "The way you reacted seems like you needed to be."
Ichigo and Toshiro went all out in their little moment that they forgot who was watching them and they were confused as hell!
"Hey Ichigo! What the hell are you guys doing?" yelled Tatsuki and that made Toshiro hide behind Ichigo again. He can't explain it, but there was this aura around Ichigo that made him feel like he was his safe haven or something.
Tatsuki earned a glare from Ichigo but sighed and turned around to look at Toshiro,
"They truly do want to be your friends, but they have to know too."
The mute teen looked down at his shoes and thought about it for a moment, and gave his approval.
Ichigo and Toshiro walked towards Ms. Spencer's class after school feeling rather happy, well Toshiro was probably happier because he got himself 5 new friends! That itself is an accomplishment! They entered the room and saw the members of the club sitting int eh middle of the room on the floor. Shiori saw them both, stood up and ran to them giving Toshiro a hug.
"Oh we were so worried that you didn't show up yesterday!"
"He was ill so he had to stay home," said Ichigo and they took their place in the circle. Ms. Spencer came in soon after and sat in the circle as well.
"Alright, as you all know that the school region competition is coming up and we need to represent our school! Those damn richy preppy schools need to be kicked off their throne!"
Everyone in the room nodded except for Toshiro, who tugged on Ichigo's uniform and gave him a look of confusion.
"For the past few years, schools from around the region go into competitions to see whose music club is better. We always get second place and this other school keeps beating us."
Toshiro nodded in understanding and Ms. Spencer continued, "There are going to be two groups. I want you all to decide who is going to be in your groups and start formulating a plan to de-throne them bastards!"
Right away all the members formed their groups, Ichigo and Toshio were teamed up with Miku, Shiori and Damon.
The five went into a corner to isolate themselves from the other group, "So what are we going to do?" asked Damon.
Miku placed a finger on her chin, "Well we know that Ichigo can play the violin, Toshiro plays the piano, I play the cello, Shiori plays the drums and Damon plays the guitar."
Damon rolled his eyes, "Nice to speak the obvious."
"Shut up!"
Shiori looked at Ichigo, "Any ideas?"
Ichigo thought about it for a moment, "Are there other instruments you guys can play?"
Miku raised her hand, "I can play the piano, but only a little."
Shiori said, "I can learn quickly."
Damon shrugged his shoulders, "None other than the guitar."
Toshiro said nothing which caught Miku's attention, "Why haven't you spoken at all since you got here?" Toshiro can tell that there was worry in her words. Ichigo whispered to his ear, "You want them to be your friends too?"
Toshiro nodded and Ichigo spoke immediately, "Guys, Toshiro… is mute."
Miku and Shiori gasped and Damon's eyes just widen, "Is that why you didn't speak on our first meeting?"
Toshiro nodded and was hugged by Miku and Shiori, "We didn't know." Miku stepped back and looked at Toshiro,
'Are you okay?'
Toshiro nodded, 'Yeah I'm fine.'
Miku gave him a weird look, 'alright then…'
Toshiro looked away for a moment and turned back to Miku as did everyone else,
'You know sign language?'
Miku smiled sheepishly, 'I guess the cat's out of the bag, yes I know sign language. I had to learn because my sister's boyfriend is deaf.'
Everyone else that did not know sign language was just plain out confused!
"Alright! Well, have we chosen our song yet?" asked Ichigo after he got annoyed about not knowing what's going on.
Damon looked at Ichigo, "Maybe we can research a song tonight and share it tomorrow."
Everyone agreed and asked Ms. Spencer if they can use her room all of nutrition and lunch and after school tomorrow.
"Of course! Do anything that will beat the other school once and for all!"
Yukiko: I'm so tired!
Ichigo: Well that's your fault!
Yukiko: At least Toshiro has a whole bunch of friends now.
Ichigo: That's right!
Toshiro: "Thank you."
Yukiko: Your Welcome Toshiro~
Ichigo: You didn't do shit!
Yukiko: Whatever! Review Please!
