Chapter 18

After preforming their groups songs Ai had talked to Syo and they were going to do a song represent Ai's life, nobody else knew about the song, not even Quartet-Night, Ai had decided this could be a way of telling people about her without telling them. Ai would be singing a solo but Syo would be playing the violin in the background. Syo, "Ai are you ready?" He could feel the waves under the boat and Ai's hand on his tightened. Ai, "Yeah." They let go of each other and Syo grabbed his violin as Ai went to the microphone. Ai whispered to herself, "Remain calm, you can do this." As the curtain went up for the last performance of the night everyone looked at Ai and Syo. Ai, "Thanks everyone who has been here, tonight's last song is a new one that tells you a little about myself. I hope you enjoy it."

Syo plays violin in the background with the rest of the music. Ai walked to the microphone and began to sing. Reiji knew from the first phrase, that Ai was talking about Aine.

Suddenly searching my chest on the left side

To understand that same "something" as you

But there's nothing… No matter where I search, will it

Become my sound…?

I want you to tell me.

The hands of the clock marking the passage of time,

I was a little jealous of the sound

Becoming even more beautiful in the not-so-distant future,

You're floating

That figure, as your appearance becomes similar enough to compare

Time was slipping away

As if tricked into it,

I gave up my heart to the music.

In the next verse, Reiji could tell the change, the melody changed. Her anger towards Aine turned into love for Syo.

But you were angry at some time or another

Frantically, desperately fighting back tears

Saying "But still… But still, I'm glade we're able to love each other"

Even if we overcame the bars of the cage of life

By saying "Take my hand"

You smile and it makes me smile, too

When you cried, I also weep

"I love you"… In the song on the sheet music on the piano,

Scribbling the words

At least for now, it's the best I can do

Changing living into a ballad,

We'll kiss

Sorrow and joy, sharing it all

Say love

From this vast universe, this vast galaxy,

This single star

I came across this miracle that could make its journey in the same moment with you

As I enjoy myself even more with you, such talk

I want to tell you with a smile

Depicting the future as a dream of normal lovers

No matter how many hundreds of years pass, it won't fade

With a melody that on one else can hum,

We were living in this era

The proof of that… We'll leave it in here

Only looking up

Reiji could tell, Ai was letting go of what happened to her in the past, she was actually forgiving Aine. She was looking past that, because she had to become better. She wanted to be better, so Syo wouldn't have to help her out with everything.

And so I'll sing in the sea of light

To you in the seven-colored meadow

Such a powerful "love"… More tender and lovely than the spring breeze

See, because you make me smile

You'll wipe away your teardrops as well

Now why is that?
I felt as if I could hear sounds within my chest

Uh…

By holding you close,

They're nearly overflowing

Because it's resonating

Because it's moving

'ba-dum, ba-dum,' it's beating

Your passionate heartbeats

Seem like my own,

Telling me of life

Suddenly searching my chest on the left side

I have that same "something" as you

A "Soul"… Even if such fleeting warmth is strong enough to be called that

At least for now, it's the best I can do

Changing living into a ballad,

We'll kiss

Sorrow and joy, sharing it all
Say love

I love… I love you…

As Ai finished the song the audience stood up clapping, tears being brought to their face. Ranmaru and Reiji actually holding each other as they cried. They could feel Ai's passion, her emotions in that one song. Ai looked at Syo and smiled Syo put down his violin and walked over to her, Ai, "Everyone, thank you, for being by my side." Ai held onto Syo's hand. "You don't know how much you my fans, Reiji, as well as the rest of Quartet-Night, as well as Syo and STARISH." With that they walked of the stage and Natsuki ran up to Ai and hugged her, "Ai-chan that song was so cute!" He was crying his eyes out has he held onto her. Camus, "Ai, have you finally overcame your fear?" Ai, "As long as Syo is by my side, along with the rest of my friends, what do I have to fear?" Everyone was so happy at Ai's words and gave her a group hug.

The next day the cruise ship made it home and Ai walked into the dorms and to Saotome's office only to find his office full of balloons, all of his electronics were replaced with cardboard cutouts, and everything else was covered with post it notes and his stapler was in gelatin. Ai, "What the hell happened in here." Saotome, "I don't know! But it's hell to clean up. Yesterday we cleaned out all the String that was over the room and the Cheetos only to find Post it notes underneath!" Ai, "You really pissed someone off." Saotome, "I can't believe they did this to my precious office!" Ai ignored him, "Saotome can I speak with you for a second." Saotome, "Yeah…" Ai, "I want my true identify to be reveled to everyone."

With that the chapter will end, what will Saotome say? Who pranked his office? Find out in the next chapter, until then farewell!
