Day
off
Tsukimori
looked out the window as he dried his hair, watching the birds
chirping happily. Breathing in the cool morning air, Tsukimori Len
encountered the spirit of summer holidays. He had never known that
summer holidays were something so exciting, that it could make him
think that spending it practicing the violin would be a waste. After
wearing his clothes, he walked out his room.
"Where are you going, Ren-chan?", Tsukimori's grandmother asked, as Misa and her husband looked at him.
"Out."
"We know… but where to?", his father questioned him again, sighing.
"Aren't you going to practice?", this time was his grandfather's turn for asking.
"Iie. I just think it's a waste to do so, so I'm going to search some fresh air instead." And with that the blue-haired boy went out from his house.
Upon hearing their grandson/son's answer, Tsukimori's father dropped his newspaper, his grandparents dropped their knifes and Misa almost dropped her plate.
-
And so unlucky Tsukimori was… that he met his very rival, Tsuchiura Ryotaro. Looking at each other with a frown, the T.R. pair exchanged glares.
"Ah, Tsuchiura-kun! Tsukimori-kun!", their green-haired senpai called or rather… yelled, happily waving at them. The pair stopped their silent fight and looked at their senpai, quirking their eyebrows. People were looking at them, giggling.
"Let's go, Tsukimori…", Tsuchiura muttered.
"What? I didn't say I'd go with you.", the violinist replied irritatedly.
"Whateva… if you can bear with that, then stay…", the pianist fired back, taking a glance at the approaching Hihara.
"Hoy, Tsuchiura, Tsukimori! Do you hear me??", once more the older boy loudly called out to them.
Tsukimori frowned for a while… then he walked away with Tsuchiura, pretending he didn't hear anything. That was, until they found who was in front of them.
"Ah, Tsukimori-kun! Tsuchiura-kun!", a blond girl called out, waving happily.
"Ergh… Amou…", both of them yelped in unison, stepping backwards.
"What do you mean with 'ergh'?!" the journalist girl yelled out angrily.
"Nande mo nai.", Tsuchiura answered as both of them looked away.
"Then why are you avoiding looking at me?!", Amou looked at them with a piercing stare.
"Betsu ni", this time the boys looked at her while speaking.
"Ah, I finally reached you! Whoa, hi Amou!", Hihara greeted happily.
The T.R. pair looked around. In front of them was Amou, and behind them was Hihara. The street was crowded -- both had nowhere to escape.
"Good timing! I have something to ask you, too.", the girl said grinning while she pulled out her notes. And that was why the TsuTsu didn't want to meet her.
-
"Hino! Here, here!" Kahoko immediately ran to the place from where her sensei called.
"Gomen… did I make you wait?"
"Maa… it's okay. After all I was the one who called you.", said Kanazawa, one from her teachers at school.
"So, why did you call me for, sensei?", the pretty violinist asked as she tried to regain her breath.
Kanazawa sweatdropped, "That's…"
"That's...?", Kahoko asked, quirking an eyebrow.
"Well… I want you to meet someone first…", Kanazawa replied as a beautiful purple-haired guy stepped in.
Whoa…h-he's so beautiful!!, the girl thought, blushing and gasping.
"Hino, this is my friend, Yunoki Azuma."
"Ha-Hajimemashite… eto… Watashi wa Hino Kahoko desu. Yoroshiku!" she bowed immediately, trying to be polite.
Yunoki's eyes widened upon hearing her name, but he soon returned to his gentle look. "Yoroshiku ne, Hino-san." he replied with a smile.
"J-Ja… Hino… err… you see… He has just come back from the U.S.A., and he's eager to go to Shibuya. I'm busy today, so I'm asking you… could you escort him?" Kanazawa asked, stuttering a little.
"Sure… but why me? I mean, there's Hihara-senpai…", the girl replied, raising an eyebrow.
"Y-Yeah… I did call him, but I got no answer.", Kanazawa lied, winking at Yunoki.
"Hm…" Kahoko still felt suspicious.
"Well, then Hino-san. Could we go now?", the purple-haired man asked suddenly, trying to shift Kahoko's focus.
"Su-Sure."
"Well then, ja ne!", the music teacher said as he walked away.
"Mattaku…", Kahoko muttered as she went with Yunoki.
-
"And this is the 5th best Department Store, I think."
"Whoa… It sure is full of people.", Yunoki said, trying to act like a real stranger.
"So, there is any place beside stores that you want to go to, Yunoki-san?", asked the red-headed violinist.
"Hm… Let's see… I like tea, and besides, it's already 11:57. I guess I'll want to go to a nice café or restaurant, Hino-san.", the man replied, ever smiling.
"Then, we can go to a place my friends and I often go to.", Kahoko said after thinking. And so they made their way again.
-
"Say, Hino-san. I heard from Kanazawa that you took part into Seiso's concours…", Yunoki said suddenly.
"O-Oh, it wasn't nothing big, really.", Kahoko answered blushing, "After all I got the last place."
"Eh, really?"
"Yeah… demo… daijoubu desu. I love music, so the ranking isn't important.", she answered, smiling sheepishly. "But then, I felt guilty for the others who supported me.", Kahoko rubbed her head laughing, a little shy.
"The others?"
"Yeah, the other participants. Fuyuumi-chan, Hihara-senpai, Shimizu-kun, Tsuchiura-kun and Tsukimori-kun were a great help for me."
"Sokka… Ja, I also heard a rumor about 'Violin Romance'... So, how about it, this time?", Yunoki asked, smiling.
"Ah, it's really only a rumor. I do feel they're important, but no more than that.", Kahoko replied, blushing.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Shimizu-kun, he's just like a little brother to me. Hihara-senpai is kind, but I only think of him as my big brother. Tsuchiura-kun… he's the best friend I ever got…"
"And Tsukimori?", he asked, quirking an eyebrow.
"Tsukimori-kun… let's see… Maybe I should say that I fell in love with his music rather than with him." Kahoko giggled. "Just kidding. He is cold sometimes, but I think he just doesn't know how to express his feelings. I should say I'm really attracted to his violin playing. His music really captured me.", the girl said, a dreamy smile on her face.
Smiling at her smile, Yunoki spoke, "I see… you really love them, eh?"
"Yeah. Because they're my best friends!" Kahoko replied. The beautiful man replied only with his smile. I wonder what 'their' reaction would be if they heard this, Yunoki thought, feeling pity for his students.
"Eh, Yunoki-san… are you married?", Kahoko asked upon seeing a gold ring on his ring finger.
"Hai.", he replied.
"Eh, but you look so young… when did you get married?", asked the girl with curiosity.
"I was 20 at the time.", Yunoki answered, smiling.
Kahoko gasped, but then returned to normal. "Hm… surely it's wonderful marrying someone, eh?", she said, beginning to daydream.
"Do you, Hino-san, have someone you like?"
"N-No! At the moment I don't have. But I hope my married life will be happy."
"It surely will."
"Anyway, what's your wife's name, Yunoki-san?", the violinist asked, drinking her juice.
"You."
Kahoko immediately choked upon hearing Yunoki's answer, "W-What?"
Yunoki chuckled softly after he saw her reaction, "No, I mean… my wife's name is also Kahoko."
"Eh?" Kahoko's face reddened, knowing she'd misunderstood things.
"W-wow, what a coincidence. Is she in Japan too?", asked she, trying to get back on a normal conversation.
"Yeah, but she's staying at home since she's pregnant."
"Eh? Then she's expecting your first child? That's great!", Kahoko smiled.
"No."
"Eh?"
"It's the second.", the purple-haired man said, his smile brighter than ever.
"O-Oh…" the girl fell silent. Second? And they married with 20 years??, Kahoko thought, mentally frowning. If she only knew the true side of the guy who was sitting opposite to her...
"Well… I think it's enough for today. Thank you for escorting me, Hino-san."
"You're welcome."
After they left the restaurant, both of them bid farewell and Yunoki's phone rang.
"Yunoki desu."
"So, how? Did you gather enough information?", Kanazawa asked, yawning.
"Hai. Anyway, I'll think about sensei's idea."
"Oh, okay then. Ja."
"Ja, mata ashita."
Yunoki hang up his phone, putting it in his pocket. Looking up, he began to think about their plan. 'It' really needs a long preparation.
