„Love. What connects it to music?", the new teacher Faust, asked his students.
„Inspiration.", he answered his own question. "Love and music are interrelated, because both come directly from the heart. The fate of both depends on what your heart says. If your heart says, that you love a woman, then let her know. Do not break your head about, if she will return your feelings. And you should you have, exactly the same attitude, when it comes to your music instruments, then it will work out. If you want to play an instrument, just do it. Do not ask yourself before, whether you can do it well. Do what your heart tells you.", Faust said to his students with a smile.
They were outside sitting under the roof of the pavillion. His new classroom. Then he pointed a finger to the gate of the school property. "Let's have a look at this gate.", he said and the students turned around to glance at it. "It´s the gate you see every day. It leads into a different world. A world, which is closed to you every day. Look at the gate and think of the woman you are immortally in love with. Imagine she is standing in front of the gate and is waiting for you.", Faust waited for the reaction of the students. But some shook their heads, and some were shrugging their shoulders. Then he laughed loud.
"What? No one is in love? Or have a crush on someone? This is just unreal, boys!", he smiled, unbelieving what he just saw. Then his gaze shifted towards three boys, who were seated at the edge, their eyes still looked at the gate, deep in thoughts. "Yea, yea... ", Faust walked to the boys. "Do you allow a gate to separate you from your love ones? Break the look, so that it can never be closed again. She will not wait forever. Follow your hearth and break the look. Get hold of your fate!", Faust said softly.
Then they knew. His words woke them up. Rules cannot stop them and give up. Not even Mister Marco Lasso.
The world is full of hate and yet your hearts are full of love. Show them that Love is unstoppable. Show them that true love is undying, thought Faust.

On Sunday, Horo decided that it was finally time to visit Tamao. Her dad gave him a manly hug and welcomed him like a lost son. After dinner, Tamao and Horo were sitting outside sipping a tea. Tamao told him about the time he they were apart. She was talking endlessly, but Horo doesn´t mind. He loved to listen to her. He just led her talk, while he admired her beauty. Then he noticed that the little shy girl, from six years ago, has grown to a, quite confident young women. He doesn´t care if she has changed, does he? But everyone change over years, even himself. He just doesn´t know at the time what else has changed in her life over the past years...
Ren walked through the busy streets of Tokio. Everything seemed gray, for some reason. The street, the cars, the buildings... even the clouds were gray. How depressing, he thought. Then his eyes captured a spot of colour. Balloons? How convenient, he thought. It´s like the universe was signaling him that there is hope, even though the sky is gloomy. He smiled to himself at that thought. Then he saw who was holding the balloons. His eyes widened and he froze. The mystic girl from the train station! Thanks Universe, hethought.
Without thinking he followed her. Wonders why she was carrying those balloons. Then he noticed that she was entering a hospital. He followed her to the section for children and saw how she gave each child a balloon. That´s why!, he told himself. How carrying she is, he thought and watched her entertaining the children, by playing with them or telling stories. He smiled at the sight of her.
I want to talk to her! But how? I can´t just walk in and start to talk to her. Maybe if I get injured, she would patch up my wounds. That´s just plain silly. This section is for children, not for love sick students, who just followed her for several minutes! Like a stalker! Maybe if I got a cut on my hand, she would just sore the wound...? Since when am I, Tao Ren so...so desperate? Screw it! I will try my luck!
He was successful! At this moment she sat in front of him and bandaged his hand! She wasn´t speaking to him, though. They just sat there in silence. At time to time she gave him a polite smile.
"Be more careful.", she told him, before leaving him behind. To quick before he could even thank her. He sighed, but smiled at his bandaged hand before leaving the hospital. Better than nothing, Ren thought.
Yoh got his own crazy idea to get close to the girl of his dream. Because the school wasn´t that far away, he sneacked to their school gate. Through the bushes he could watch the gym class doing their sports, but to his dislike, no sight of the blond girl. He sighed, but would not give up just yet. He dressed himself as a janitor and sneacked into the building. He passed many students even teacher and no one had a clue. Horo and Ren laughed at his idea, and told him that it will never work out, but not for Asakura Yoh. Everything will work out in the end, somehow! If it is meant to be, then there will be many opportunities.
When he turned around a corner his eyes caught blond locks. Anna! The girl, which slaps could kill brain cells. She was walking through the corridors of the building, while reading a book. Yoh noticed her reading classes, which made her look smart and at the same time desirable. She passed him without even looking up, or noticing his presence. Yoh stood there and glanced at her while she walked away. The same fragrance, which was liable at the red bandana lingered now in the air. Cherry blossom.

"Mister Faust, do you know what you are asking for?", Marco asked while trying to stay calm. "Have you forgotten about the rules, that quick?"
"No sir! Please think it over again. He has no other options.", Faust plead him.
"Mister Faust, you are asking me for permission to let a student work outside in the evening. That´s not possible.", Marco gathered his things together and was about to leave the room.
"Sir, Horokeu´s father passed away and his mother is working night and day, to finance his studies. He wants to get a job to ease her! And I think we need to help him. He needs our support!", Faust said while walking behind Marco, until the director stopped suddenly and glared at Faust for several seconds.
And without any word he walked outside, where Horohoro was waiting tense.
"Sir wait!", Faust didn´t give up. `I got this.´, he wispered to Horo, who was now standing besides Faust.
"This is Horokeu Usui.", Faust pointed at the blue haired boy besides him.
Marco turned around and glanced at Horo. "You are back everyday at 10 o'clock at the latest. Got it?", he hold Horo and turned around to leave.
Horo nodded politely "Yes sir."
"Thank you sir!", Faust called out.
"I cannot stand changes, Mister Faust.", Marco called back with a cold voice.
"Yeah, I know sir!", Faust called back.
"I am good, am I?, the music teacher told Horo with a grin.
"Hehe, you are the best, sir!, Horo grinned back at Faust.
A white suit, long leather shoes, Elvis Presley hair style. That could only be one person, Umemiya Ryunosuke. Known as Ryu, the owner oft the Ryunosuke Café, Horo´s new Boss.
While Horo worked as a waiter, Ryu made sure that everything was going right. His Café was known for its individuality, alone because of the funky owner.

In the principal's office of the girls college, sat a beautiful young lady with green hair. A mirror in one hand, and a lipstick in the other. She was fixing her makeup, till a knock on the door started her.
"Yes.", she called while hiding her mirror and lipstick in the drawer of the desk.
"You wanted to talk to me, Miss?", a blond haired girl standing in the doorway of the principal's office.
"Yes, Anna. Please sit down.", Miss Run called out. "Your cousin is here because he has something important to tell you. I told him, that I dislike unannounced people to visit, but I allowed him this once, because he said it was very important. But, I do not want this to happen again."
"Yes, Miss.", Anna said politely, curious about what was going on, her cousin´s would never dare to visit her. They would just call her. She was suspicious about the whole situation.
Run pointed to the room, which were next to her principal. The large door to the room were see-through, to let Run see what were going on in there.
Anna made her way to the room. There was a man in black jeans, a white shirt and a black blazer and had brown hair. His back was facing her. She raised an eyebrow at the scene before closing the door.
"Excuse me?", she called out, and gasped as the man turned around. "YOU!", Anna pointed at the boy, who stole her, her bandana.
The boy just smiled at her, "My lovely cousin!" His arms reaching out to hug her but she held him back, an annoyed expression on her face.
"You should better hug me, or I will tell Miss Run about your adventures in the boys college.", he told her softly with an charming smile, which was flattered by his glasses.
"I warn you! You wouldn´t dare if you want to witness the day tomorrow.", Anna said slowly while given him her ultimate cold glare.
He shuddered but couldn't control himself. "Make me.", he said smiling cheekily at her.
"Oh, don´t try me. Moreover, I have the full trust of Miss Run, she would believe Me.", Anna replied smirking.
"And would she believe you if I just show her your bandana?", Yoh asked smiling, sure of himself.
"Are you out of your mind? It´s just a random bandana. How will that proof anythink?", she asked hoping he haven´t read her name, written tiny at one end of the bandana.
"Anna." , he started, seeing the sudden change in her eyes. "I have seen it. And if you want it back, all you have to do is hug me, tight." His arms went around her waist as he closed the gap between them. "Damn you!" she muttered under her breath, shivering at his touch.
"Nice. Very nice.", he said while inhaling her scent, but Anna pulled back as fast as she could. He caught both of her hands and looked at her. "How long haven´t we seen each other. You have grown.", Yoh said for Run to hear, who smiled at them through the see-through door. "Let´s have a seat.", he called and pulled her to the couch, while she muttered curses under her breath. They sat down, Anna more forcefully. Yoh made sure to seat them, where Run would have them in view. "Miss Run!", Yoh waved at her, and she smiled back. "Smile, Smile!", he told her as she glared at him in front of Run with a cold facial expression. He sighed softly, before smiling back at her with a true smile. "Since the first time I saw you, I couldn´t get you out of my mind. I can´t stop thinking about you, even in my dreams.", he confesses. "Please meet me on Sunday at four o clock at the Ryunosuke Café."
„Ha! Dream on.", she said unaffected.
„I see… Miss Run!", he called out.
„Okay! Okay, just stopp it already, Dammit.", she said, rolling her eyes.
„How sweet.", Yoh replied and tried to hide is joy. Finally, he throught.
xxxHello reader! I hope you liked the little YohXAnna moment in here! I really liked it! Hehe :D I know they are really OOC , Yoh is more bold and sometime a bid macho, but since Hao will not appear in this story (certainly) and Yoh is a grown up man he can be a bid bolder, ne? Horo is not as loud as he usually is, and Ren is very serious about the rules of the school. But Anna was her usual self, right?^^ Anyhow! I hope you enjoy reading the story as much as I enjoy tipping it!xxx
Everything will turn upside down for the boys in the next chapter!
