7th MOVEMENT: THE MIST PERFORMER
No..no..NO.. NOOO!
Tsuna messes his hair because of frustration. The fact that he and his friend Enma wearing a black shirt and pants with a fancy rainbow colored ruffles attached on both of their shoulders and on their waists?
"Now boys remember the steps and do not miss, understand?" Arcobaleno Viper reiterated as she walks back and forth in front of her first years students including the dame duo since they were mistakenly dragged by an amazona sensei for the practicum for the regular students who specializes in dancing.
"Sorry Tsuna-kun, I didn't know for this to happen." Enma carefully whispered at Tsuna who is about to faint because of nervousness because of two reasons. First; they were about set his foot in a dazzling designed stage with hundreds of students watching them which his stage fright comes in and the worst part; HE HAS NO TALENT WHEN IT COMES TO FREAKIN DANCING.
Like his brother once told him.
"Just play violin and never attempt to dance ever again." Followed by an insulting loud laugh coming from his brother echoes throughout his mind, a memory that he felt embarrassed in front of his brother.
Nii-san, so mean. Right now he was sulking because of his brother but not in a depressing way but because of that memory that his brother made fun of his so called dancing style.
"Na-kun?"
What?
"T-Tsuna-kun!"
"Hai!" The brunet snaps out of his staring to space session after he was shooked by his Cellist friend violently.
"It's o-our t-urn." The young Cellist informed with his voice already shaking in fear.
The dame duo gulped and looked at each other with teary eyes and hold hands as they embraced their unfortunate faith on stage.
Now how did they end up in this situation?
Flashback:
It's been 4 days (Tuesday) since their sensei was replaced mysteriously with a known and one of the best teachers in school, Aria known as a sky arcobaleno and gave them a homework given only for regular ones and that is a song composition about themselves to be submitted after a week.
And with the days passed so quickly the dame duo is yet to start to write their song.
"Tssuunaa-kun." The red haired Cellist said while resting his head on a study table with a blank sheet of paper in front of him. As usual he's inside the young violinists' room which is his everyday routine after their dreadful everyday PE class.
"What is it Enma-kun?" Tsuna who is currently staring outside the balcony responded absent mindedly.
"Can't- write...no idea." The brunet nodded in understanding as he yawns and head back inside looking calm and not worried.
"Let's just skip our homework." Having no motivation to write, Tsuna didn't mind even if he couldn't write a song before the submission.
"We can't Tsuna-kun! We might get kicked out from school!"Enma panics just by thinking the possibility of him and his friend will get tossed somewhere unknown which he was already exaggerating.
Tsuna noticed the horrible facial expression of his friend and somehow he felt sympathy for him. He offered him a leftover soup that he cooked for his breakfast just to ease the red hair teen's fright.
He really didn't expect that Enma could even eat right now, being scared and all, but then when he saw the Cellist done finishing the food he just offered. He did even burped and said "Goshiosama-deshita"(thank you for that wonderful meal.)
What the?
Tsuna sweat dropped and stares at his satisfied looking friend. Well, his condition is better than before.
"EEHH!"
Tsuna startled when Enma suddenly shouted and stands up, grasping his hands like he had this really bright idea.
"Tsuna-kun!" Enma looked at him with his red eyes shining like a diamond.
I have a bad feeling about this. Tsuna thought.
"Let's ask the experts." Enma said excitedly while Tsuna, waiting his friend to continue.
"Tomorrow let's sneak on school grounds for regular students after class." Enma said lowering the volume of his voice.
"WHAT!" The brunet, shocked on his friends' dangerous idea. "But why? That would be risky you know." He continued also lowering his voice.
"Do not fret my friend. We just need someone who can give a suggestion for composing a song." The Cellist said, full of confidence, which the brunet had no choice but to accept the plan. Well that is because that is the only planning available and no backup plan.
"But how do we infiltrate the regular class grounds?" Tsuna asked his friend slowly accepting their plan by heart.
"I have a solution for that, hehe." Enma said, laughing in a playful play. "Wait here."
Enma hurriedly went inside his room, closing his door with a loud thud and then after a minute he came back inside the brunet's room again, now holding his bag pack as he made sure that nobody's watching him, he closed the door before he heads back beside's Tsuna.
"Ladies and gentlemen, behold." Enma announced, he pulled a piece of cloth inside his bag and when he spreads the cloth, it revealed a navy blue vest with the crest of Vongola academy which means that the school vest is really authentic.
"Enma-kun? How?" Tsuna saw the uniform as he was surprised on how the hell his friend got a uniform for regular students.
Enma placed his hands on his chin, proud to himself. "It was the first day of school after we separated ways.."
Another Flashback:
First day of school, after he and Tsuna separated, Enma decides to to take a look on school grounds. And being him, like Tsuna who always loses their way, probably, no, definitely lost his way. He even manages to arrive at the private music rooms for regular students and their dorms without any people noticing him. And that certain dorm, he saw two clothing hanging outside at the back of the dorm.
The Cellist went close to that area and when he does, he saw those clothes in a closer view recognizing it as a school vest for the regular ones.
Another Flashback end
"So you took it?" Tsuna stunned at the Cellist's adventure, not sure on how to react.
"Of course, having a uniform for regular students has privilege. For example, sneaking inside the premises only for the regulars." Enma said, which Tsuna nodded in agreement.
But still Tsuna doesn't fully accept their plan just yet, afraid to get caught by instructors.
He closes his eyes thinking of other ways except this one, until the day that was planned came.
There's no turning back now.
After their last period, Enma leads the way while Tsuna followed him heading to the boys comfort room for the regulars. This is where the duo wears the regulars vest.
Enma came out the comfort room first already wearing the navy blue vest while holding his Cello as he greets the special student's of their school while he waits for his friend to finish.
"Let's go." The young violinist just ran outside the comfort room only to see Enma looking like a real regular student and was the same for Enma when he saw the violinist too.
"We really looked like regulars."The both of them muttered at the same time which made them laugh.
"Now where do we start?" Tsuna asked Enma as they started to walk.
"I don't know?" Enma said sheepishly that made Tsuna's brown eyes to widen.
"What do we do?" The brunet whispered, starting to panic inside, the duo not noticing an instructor passing by.
"You two?" The instructor said as the two flinch when they heard the familiar feminine voice. They carefully looked at the instructor, only to see their own instructor and part of the Arcobaleno, Aria.
"Sensei!" The two immediately said, making the instructor to chuckle.
"Spying, aren't we?" Aria whispered then winks at the students.
"Uhm. Not really?" Tsuna answered back scratching his brown hair.
Enma gulped, thought of an excuse for them.
"Actually we're-" He was about to explain but then was interrupted by their female instructor.
"Oh!I know, going to watch the recital?" Aria clasps her hands delightfully and immediately dragged the duo to the concert hall.
"Well here we are!" The female Arcobaleno instructor said, as she lets go the duo. "Wait here." She said and smiled mysteriously before leaving the duo behind.
Their instructors smile made the duo to feel shivers, though they brushed their thought about it for the time being as they searched the area for possible regular student that could help them.
First off was the concert hall itself. It was a luxurious looking rounded building, painted in white, and mostly composed of glass every corner of the building and was designed as a soundproof concert hall which maybe a reason on why the place was quiet even if there is an ongoing recital inside.
The duo walks around reaching the back entrance, they just planned to pass by but then suddenly a green haired woman tied up, wearing eyeglasses comes out from the back entrance looking a little pissed. The duo walked faster, avoiding the possible gaze of the staid woman. Well it didn't help in any way since they were spotted already.
"Hey wait!" She said, approaching the two.
The duo stopped walking, both of them inhaled deeply before facing the woman.
The green haired woman stared at the dame duo, inspecting them from head to toe. She raised her eyebrow which made the duo felt fear, fear of getting caught as impostors. They closed their eyes, waiting for that frightful moment to come. Right that they were only...
First years substitute dancers recommended by one of my fellow Arcobaleno's right?"
Tsuna nodded as he answered. "Yes we are- WHA" Enma hurriedly covers the brunet's mouth as he laugh agreeing the Arcobaleno's explanation.
"The name's Lal Mirch by the way one of the Rain Arcobaleno and I'm going to teach you the steps, so hurry up and get inside." Arcobaleno Lal informed the two and rushes inside the hall for them to see a glimpse of their Sky Arcobaleno sensei smiling at them while clapping.
End of Flashback
Now the poor duo who just wanted to ask for help ended up performing, facing a large crowd.
The young violinist inhaled deeply, trying to calm himself but..
I can't! Damn it!
He closes his eyes as he still tries to calm down, when he felt someone tapped his shoulder.
"Oya oya,Are you that nervous freshman?"
Tsuna opens his eyes and stares at the other student. He was wearing a black suit with his pineapple hairstyle and a mismatch eyes which is a mystery for the young violinist.
"Kufufufu. I suggest you loosen up, boy." He said, leaving the brunet behind. Tsuna finds the man's laugh in a creepy way but didn't really mind it for now.
"Tsuna-kun, that's Rokudou senpai!" Enma whispered. "A senior performer and the singer for today's special performance, and maybe we could ask him!" He added, thinking positively, the fact that they were now about to perform on stage.
"Next is a special number from one of our respective senior and certified professional performer, Rokudo Mukuro!"
Just after the announcement, a lot of the audience, mostly female squeals in delight and even clapped their hands as the lights were turned off, leaving only a single spotlight to illuminate the stage. A mysterious sound began to play the same time; an indigo colour smoke surrounds the stage.
And then a voice started to sing. His tone was cold at first.
Masaka boku ga kono te de
Kimi ni fureru nante ne
Kimi wa sono amasayue
Boku ni nottorareru
The wall at the center of the stage slowly opens revealing the man behind the said voice. The crowds were now cheering as the music's rhythm changes into an upbeat one. That's the dancers cue to enter.
The time for the duo to enter the stage.
Fortunately, they were only positioned at the most side at first, shaking the maracas on their right hands while the singer continues to sing. Their feet seem to seize moving at first, but slowly they were somehow adjusting until the chorus came.
Well, here it goes. Tsuna thought as he prepares himself to dance the moment that the chorus of the song came now holding the maracas on the left side.
"Those are my students." Aria, proud for her students that is about to dance.
"Just like how we practiced." Lal muttered, standing on the left most side of the concert hall with her fellow Arcobaleno, Aria.
The music, now about to reach the chorus, the singer, Rokudou Mukuro positioned and smiled, a smile that could melt those fan girls heart.
And then the dancers together with Mukuro dances to the rhythm of the song.
It wasn't that really hard, just some claps, circling motion on their hands and some minor footsteps, but for the duo, they were struggling at the whole performance and luckily none of them actually missed the steps . They were moving accurately but a little stiff than the others.
After the performance, the two finally able to relax sits comfortably on the seats backstage.
Finally, the nightmare's over. Or so they thought.
"Good job, both of you. Kufufu."
Mukuro suddenly appeared behind their back, which made the two to jump on their seats.
"Oya oya."
"Mukuro-san!" Tsuna surprised to see the lead singer once again.
Now's their chance to ask, but then he thought on how should they start asking him.
"Hmm. Mukuro-san can I ask you something?" The red haired teen made his first move, since this was his idea, he felt responsible.
"What is it?"
"How to compose a song?" Enma, not sure how to ask looks at the pineapple haired singer and waited for an answer.
"Simple, write." Mukuro answered literally, and was about to leave the two when he saw just a glimpse of the duos tired faces and a tint of disappointment in their eyes.
Maybe it was his fault, he thought. And yeah, he felt a little guilt inside.
He went behind the duo and held a deep breath before opening his mouth."Listen to your emotions and turn them as words that, I could only suggest."Mukuro conveyed, still not looking at the two teens and raises his right hand before leaving them.
"Listen to your emotions and turn them as words that, I could only suggest." Those words echoed through Tsuna's mind, and made him think on what he was about to write.
The day ended okay, they didn't get caught and safely returned to their respective dorms. But their performance and the song Kufufu no fu will never be forgotten by the two freshman in their whole life.
"Kufufufu."
