Shintaro's Transparent happiness

Monday, 13th August:

The gang had been making good progress with the songs, and as Shintaro and Kano had completed, Haruka, Marry and-who Kano thought was 'older Kisaragi' but turned out to be- Momo worked on drawing for the videos for the songs. "Hey, Marry, can you pass me that?" Haruka asked, pointing to a pencil. "Sure!" They got along really well, and worked well together. "AGH! I can't get the hands right... Haruka help me~" Momo complained.

"This is fun, isn't it?" Kano asked, smiling back at Takane. "Huh? you're asking me? well, yeah I suppose it is..." she moved her head to the side, pouting. "What do you think of this?" Seto pointed Kuroha, but he simply shook his head. "I don't know, ask someone that cares!"

"Hey, Shintaro, what does this say?" Hibiya stared at the words that Konoha had written. "Uhh, I think it says; from this mechanized world, into a future landscape of falling leaves." "Ohh, Thanks Kisaragi."

"I'm bored..." Ene complained to Kido. "Well, if you bothered to help one of us, I'm sure you would find something fun." Ene moaned at the answer. " "Nice one Danchou!" Momo cheered, her fist raised in front of her face. "What's nice?" Konoha asked, looking scared. "No, it's not...I meant that the reply that Kido gave was a clever reply." Konoha smiled slighly.

Kido smiled at the amount of people there were helping her to achieve this dream of her's, but she realised that it became more than her dream. It was the goal of all her friends, the love of music that they shared had brought them together. "so cliche, huh?" She whispered to herself. "Eh? what did you say?" Ene asked her, as if she had killed someone. "N-nothing." Momo growled. "Hey, don't keep secrets!" Ene joined in. "Yeah, so secretive..." Konoha stared at Kido blankly, and spoke like a mimic. "Secret..."

"Haruka! Over here!" Ene waved at him, the other hand pointing to the table the group were sat at. "Ha-ru-ka!" He turned round and made a small "ah" sound. "Sorry, Sensei kept me behind to clean up the mess i made..." He looked down, slightly worried. "But anyway! where's Seto?" He looked at the empty space where Seto usually likes to sit, as it is beside Marry and Kano. "I don't have a clue, he said something about his english classes...or whatever..." Takane told him, looking to the side, her usual pose. "No, He had to finish his English presentation for today, and with all the club actiites...he...couldn't." Marry told the airhead boy.

"Okay, thanks." He sat down, and ate his large amount of food. "eww, gross." Momo mumbled. "Huh? What are you saying?" Shintaro asked the girl next to him. "N-no no, nothing."

"You know how boring this is?" Kano exclaimed, banging his hands on the table. "Yeah." Hibiya replied. Takane looked down, holding her hands. "I know what you mean, Kano." Konoha looked at them all. "Why are you bored?" Shintaro looked up at him. "Seriously, don't you get it? You don't understand being bored?" Konoha held his hands together. "Sorry." Kuroha shook his head. "Don't be sorry, he just wishes he had your coolness." Konoha smiled.

"HEY GUYS!" Seto said running towards them with a piece of paper in his hand. "YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT!" "Seto, for god sake keep your voice down!" Seto grinned, panting as he reached the table. "Okay, so first, sorry for shouting." He started, voice much lower volume. "Second, I have...wait for it...free pizza coupons!"

Everone stared at him. "What? Are you being serious here?" Shintaro exclaimed. "No, no, The real news is-"

"We can play some of our songs in the school!"

Everone had a different reaction to this. Kido was smiling like a wolf. Kano was gently smiling, eyebrows arched showing a sorrowful side. Momo smiled like Kido. Marry hid behind her long hair. Shintaro remained emotionless, as did Konoha. Ene's eyes stared at the paper, to a point of insanity. Hibiya looked angry as always, but a small glint of happiness showed in his eyes. Takane was blushing as she gazed at Haruka. Kuroha stared at Seto, looking happy for a change, but no smile. And Haruka closed his eyes and sighed.

"Isn't that super! I mean...It's the leader's decision but still..." He trailed off. "Okay, well-" Kido started to say, but couldn't finish. "I cannot do that! no way no way! never! ahh!" Takane stood up and ran. "never!" Everyone looked at her, and took a second to follow her. Kido was the first to chase after her, after that, Haruka followed, then all the rest.

"Takane!" Haruka burst through the school doors, running after her. "Wait!" Kido shouted to back him up. She gasped for breath, headphones around her neck. "No way, never!" Shintaro's Phone began to ring, but he ignored it. "Takane! you can't run this far!" Shintaro screamed to her. "That's right!" Marry added. "Think about Haruka's illness! about your illness! About your sister!" She flinced at Kano's words. That's right... she could feel her breath getting ragged, and she couldn't imagine what Haruka was feeling.

"I..." She fell to the ground. "I..." Haruka caught up to her. "Takane..." Kido stopped the rest of the gang from getting any closer. "I think we should give them a little space." She said walking back down the corridor, making sure to still be a little close as Takane fell.

"What's wrong Takane? why are you running?" He panted, breathless. "It's because...My song...It's for..." She put her hands in front of her face. "It's for you." Haruka smiled mindlessly. "I don't get it." Takane pinched his cheek. "Idiot! think about it!" so he did. He thought about the words of her song. 'Wait a second...it's... a love song!'

"Takane...Do you mean that you..." Haruka stared down at her, still smiling.

"I love you, Haruka!"

"I love you. Haruka!" Kano mocked her voice, a few hours later after School. "What the hell is your problem!?" She knocked him to the floor. "Dumb ass Kano..."

"So then what happened?" Kido asked her. "I told her I loved her too. Simple really." He said so casually. "Well, I think it's amazing! you belong together!" Marry added, her hair moving slightly. "Yeah, can we just go now?" Takane grumbled. "Wait, wait. So, anyone else want to run away from us because they don't want to admit their true feelings, eh?" Kido asked, grinning at Takane.

Everyone laughed at this. "I... think it's nice..." Hibiya said, everyone turning to him. "Chasing after the person you love, and not giving up, even if you're too shy to say it, you wanted to be around him, to be close to him, you would have done anything for him, it's nice that you got to say it on time Takane. Sometimes, you lose out on the chance to tell the person how you feel, and it's not too late. I-it's nice that you got to say it on time. And he didn't reject you, you can be together now, It's...nice."

They all stood there, Hibiya looking down, clenched fists. "Hibiya..." Momo said, looking sad. "W-what? I'm just saying it's nice! jeez!" a lone tear shining in his eye, as Konoha grabbed his shoulders. "Don't worry Hibiya. It's Nice for me too." He smiled. "Who the hell asked you?" He snapped. "Sorry."

Takane grabbed Haruka's hand. "We're going now, See ya!" she blushed before running with him. "They are cute, just like Kido and Kano!" Momo teased. "That's my role Kisaragi, what do you think you're doing?" She giggled. "Sorry, Shuuya!" He blushed. "Ah, you know my name? Stupid Kisaragi..."

"Oh! that's right, Kido!" Momo said, turning to her. "I have some music sorted, with my brother's help... can you come to our house and we'll show you?" Kido nodded her head. "Sure, but can this idiot come along?" She asked, pointing to Kano. "Sure, why not?" Momo said, Shintaro slapping his hands up to his face.

"Nice house Kisaragi's!" Kano said to the siblings, taking off his shoes. "Nice..." Kido said. "It's In his room, careful, it'll smell. " Momo warned, hand waving in front of her face. They walked up the stairs, to Shintaro's room.

"I'll just open the file..." He said, clicking away at his computer. Kido and Kano looked at the room, amazed by how tidy it was as they expected it to be. Kido looked around the gray walls, shocked by how plain it was. "Wow, I didn't think I'd be so boring!" Kano joked. There wasn't much in it. A bed, a place to keep clothes, A desk, and a small table.

"Yeah, yeah mock away my friend, just you wait and see..." He replied. "Okay, look." he pointed to the screen, playing the music. "This is my song, you see..." He explained the various music techniques that he had used, it was very well made. He then went on to play his little sister's song. It too was made very well. "See, This is the drums and..." He explained, Kano not paying much attention.

"Yeah! the're good, so now you just sing over them, right?" Kido asked, and both nodded at the same time, the same way. "You know... you're a lot alike..." Kido laughed to them. "Shut up leader! you're being so noisy!" Momo shouted, walking over to the other side of the room. "S-sorry."

They sat there a while, talking about how to Improve the way of the songs and everything. "Okay, got it?" Kido questioned, and a "Yeah" was given as an answer. "I'll be back In a second." Momo said, walking out of the room. "This was fun, I should be going though..." Kido said. "Yes we'll miss you all, but let's go leader!" Kano ran out of the room, leaving them behind. "Well I have to go after-"

And then she saw it. A photograph with Shintaro looking irritated as his hand was held be a girl. A girl that she knew too well. The red scarf, The hairclips, the happy smile that decorated her face. There was no mistaking that girl, She could never Mistake her, it was her best friend after all, the best friend she had, when no-one else cared, the one that saw her pain, this photograph, was of Ayano.

"Shintaro...Why are do you have a photo of Ayano?"

What!? Yes, things are getting REAL NOW! HaruTaka! how cute is that? and Kido knows that Shintaro knows Ayano!? What? crazy! What a perfect ending to this chapter! I was meant to get this done sooner, but I got really distracted with the Vocaloid songs produced by Kikuo, they are so cool, you should check them out if you like Vocaloid, which is likely because KagePro was born from Vocaloid, but anways! Yeah, here it is now, I hope you enjoyed reading this and please review and stuff, cause this took SOOOOOO long for me to get it. I hope you like it! Thank you for reading! :3
