She just had awoken to the sound of a mixture of her alarm clock and birds’ morning song. Kahoko thought to herself *A week from now is Tsukimori-kun’s going to Europe to study aboard.* She glanced at her violin with a sigh. *For a moment, maybe just a moment I wish I could relive all those memories of the Conquors…When everybody was together. Well I better get dressed today is gonna be a long day * She was in a daze as she walked down the stairs her sister noticed she looked different.

“Nii-chan, what’s wrong? You look like you haven’t slept in days. It’s a bit gloomy to see you like this your usually the fired up type. Ya know?” her sister asked.

“Um…well you wouldn’t understand.” Kahoko replied like she was in a rush. “Well I should be off to school now for extra practice, bye!”

“Well if there’s anything wrong you can talk to me anytime just call me and I’ll be there in a flash. Okay? Bye, see ya in a while,” her sister told Kahoko.

Kahoko ran out that door as fast as she could to get away from her worried sister because there was something wrong. She was still depressed and happy about Len going to Europe to study aboard, but the truth was clear (not to Kahoko though), she didn’t want Len to leave her. As she hummed Ave Maria, it seem that time had stopped just for her to revisit her memories of the magic violin’s music. When she reached the front of the school, she tripped on someone’s foot. She looked up and saw she was in the arms of boy with icy blue hair and eyes. Kahoko blushed.

“H-Hino-san? You should really watch where you’re going. You’re a bit heavy for a girl. So what are you doing here so early?” Len asked, blushing a little himself.

“G-g-g-gomen, Tsukimori-kun! I was going to do some extra practice. What are you doing at the front of the school?” she said still blushing a little bit.

“What do you think? I always come here early …,” Len answered.

Click! Flash!

“Ooh, so the violin romance is true. I see your already picking up your ‘blushing bride’.(She held up a picture of Len holding Kahoko after she tripped) I got the front pager of tomorrow’s paper it’s called ‘I Spy a Blushing Bride’ hope you’ll be able to read it,” a smiling Nami remarked as she ran away.

“Hey give that here you baka! You know that’s not true! There’s nothing going on between us. Geez, gossip these days! ” Len yelled, but she was to far away to hear him.

Realizing he still was holding Kahoko, a reddish-pinkish Len put her down to her feet, apologized, and ran after Nami for that photo.

*Wow, who knew ice cubes like him can melt? (Kahoko laughed in her head) Usually, he wouldn’t care if he knows it isn’t true…is it? I mean him going away for a long time it’s not like he’s going to hear any of the gossip…That wasn’t really like him to chase her for that picture. Well I guess he’s made his mind to chase he’s dreams. And I’ll be… Wait (a little screech came into her head) wah? ‘I’m a bit HEAVY for a girl?’ What’s THAT supposed to mean? So now Tsukimori is calling me FAT?* Kahoko snapped out of her thoughts for a moment and saw that she was alone in the front of the school.*Gah never mind about that! I better get that photo. Maybe Nami’s in going to the newspaper and copying and printing that picture. I should hurry* Kahoko ran her fastest to the printing room, but when she got there, she saw a desolate room with printers and copy machines beeping. *They’re not here? Hmm… where else would they be? The library? Back outside?* Kahoko suddenly saw an inch of blue hair going around the corner. *That way leads to…*

Meanwhile the “Highway Pursuit”

“Tee-hee you found me. Betcha can’t catch me,” Nami said mischievously. She stuck her tongue out and ran.

“You’re wasting your breath! Why don’t you just hand over the photo? This is a waste of my time you know?” Len complained.

“The question is why are you chasing me for the picture? Why do you want it so much huh?” Nami interrogated. She cut though a group of Yuniko fan-girls and made a hard left to the main hallway which was in the middle of a sea of papers, leaded to many other pathways, and the many, many, many fan-girls for the one and only ice cube, Len Tsukimori! The-next-thing-you-know, there’s a big group or all kinds of girls forming a group around him.

“What is he doing in the main hallway at this time?” one girl muttered.

“Who cares he’s so cute up close,” the other drooled in awe.

“He’s even hotter running I mean did you see him run in the southern hallway?” another girl remarked.

Mutter, mutter

“Would you all move? You are all in my way. I need to get to class.” Len said in “ice cube mode.”

“Oh, wow! That was so cool. Say it again!” squealed one girl.

The cluster of girls started to come closer to him and squealed at his words. After ten escape attempts and “blending” in with the crowd (fifteen minutes) he finally managed to escape the middle of the crowd. *Phew, for a second there I thought I wasn’t going to make it out of there alive. Probably Kahoko got the photo already, but I think I should check the journalist room anyway just in case. Did I just call Hino, by her first name in my thoughts?* He glanced at his watch. * I got twenty more minutes until class starts and no time to practice and questions in my thoughts!* ~yes there is~ *What was that voice in my head?* ~your conscious dummy~ *Well I don’t like Ka-Hino! We don’t have to talk about her* ~I didn’t say anything about her. You know you have feelings for her, when you’re ready to admit them we’ll have a talk~ Len then found himself in front of the journalist room with Nami inside making one thousand copies of an article with a big headline. *What? Where’s Hino? I assumed she would be here before me. Well expecting that from her is nearly impossible. She’s always late!*

“What exactly are you planning to send out?” Len asked impatiently.

But before Nami could answer the door flew open and a tired, sweating Kahoko entered through the door.

“Huff, huff…I…. finally…. found you!” Kahoko muttered.

“Hey, looks like your girlfriend made it here too,” Nami teasingly said.

“Kahoko-san is not my girlfriend.” Len said calmly. He realized what he just said.*Damn. Why did I call her that?*

“And Tsukimori-kun is my boyfriend, we’re JUST friends!” Kahoko clarified.

“Since when do you call Kahoko-chan by her FIRST name now, Tsukimori-san?” Nami teased.

A mysterious voice came from the door, “U-u-um…g-g-gomen if I’m interrupting anything, b-b-but what are you three doing here?”

The mysterious person came closer...there, stood a girl with short azure hair. She bowed to the three. But another shadow slowly approached the three students. He was a boy who looked sleepy, and had blonde curly hair.

“K-k-konichiwa H-hino-sempai, Nami-sempai, and Tsukimori-sempai,” Fyuumi greeted.

“Konichiwa *yawn* sempais” Keiichi said.

“Konichiwa, Fyuumi-chan and Shumizu-san! I told you not call me Hino-sempai, Fyuumi-chan! Call me something else.” Kahoko scolded.

“U-u-um…I’ll try, b-b-but first I have a request,” Fyuumi mumbled blushing more than usual.

“Alright, but what is this request of yours?” Kahoko asked.

“I-I-I have a topic…I wish to discuss…with only you.” Fyuumi answered.

“Oh, then let’s talk at lunch and somewhere where it’s more private like the top of the school. It’s quieter up there” suggested Kahoko.

“Y-y-yes that sounds good.” Fyuumi agreed.

“Well sempais *yawn* class is about to start...in five minutes we better hurry,” yawned Keiichi. “Come on Fyuumi-chan, let’s walk to class together.”

“O-okay Keiichi-kun,” muttered Fyuumi. The two left the room in a slow pace as usual.

Nami slowly crept out of the room and attempted to run away again. Len grabbed her arm that was holding the photo.

“Not this time,” Tsukimori said coolly.

“Ok! Let go of my arm and I’ll give you the photo!” Nami proposed.

“No, how can I trust you? Give me the photo first and then I’ll let go,” Len said impatiently.

“Gosh, I was just playing around. It’s just a photo. You don’t have to get so uptight,” Nami explained. “Here’s the photo, at least you’ll have something to remember Kahoko-chan by.”

Everyone examined the photo. On the photo was a picture of Len running toward the main hall way.

“WHAAAAA????!!!!” the group yelled in unison.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter of this story.

Special Thanks To:

Author : The Fan fiction they wrote

Ariadne-chan : The One and Only Tune

Aruoraflame : Violin Romance

Jiru-sempai : The Strings That Binds Us

All these fanfics inspired me to write my own. Thank you. Oh right, I have a question (well two). Was this chapter too short? It seemed long when I was typing it in a printing format but when I saw it on the web page format it was short and was this story boring? I thought Len’s thoughts were a little boring and maybe too much dialogue and extra conversations not needed. What kept me typing was music and boredomness. (That’s not even a word.) Please review what you think of this story or tell me how I can make my story better.
