Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's POV
Today it's Suturday. That means I am off school for the day.
Plus it is the day that I promised to take Chiaki out on a date with the points I won from the swimming competition.
We planned to meet at 12 o'clock near the gates of the dorms.
Right now it's still 10 so I still have some time at my disposal.
I worked out for one hour. After that I took a bath and found what clothes I was going to wear. I decided to go with the outfit that Chiaki and Kei picked for me when we went out on our little shopping trip.
I still had some time but it doesn't sound bad to be there a little earlier. I walked out of my room and torwards the elevator. The time on my phone was 11:50 AM.
When I reached the gates I saw Chiaki already waiting for me there.

"Hey Chiaki." I said while waving at her
"Oh hello Kiyotaka-kun" she answered my greeting
"Did I make you wait for too long?" I asked
"No, no." She said while moving her hands left and right
"Not only you didn't make me wait but you came earlier. Why is that?" she asked
"Mmmm. I didn't have a reason, really." I responded
"But I could ask the same. Why are you here this early?" I asked
"I just got a little carried away and got ready earlier and since I didn't have anything to do I just came here earlier." She answered
The atmoshere was a little akward after that so:
"Ok this is getting akward, so why don't we start with our date?" I asked
"Yes!" she said with a bright smile on her face
"By the way you look cute in those clothes" I tried to compliment her to ease this akwardness from before.
"Thank you very much. You too. You look great. And I am happy you wear them." She said
"Oh are you talking about the clothes? Yeah of course I would wear them since you and Kei picked them out" I said
And then I remembered what had happened that day so I tried to apologise as soon as possible. (A/N Check Chapter 4 if you don't remember)
"I am sorry I didn't mean to remind you of what happened that night" I said
"No it's fine. After all it was my fault for reacting this way. And besides you explained what happened so it's fine" She said with a smile while a tint of red found its way on her face.
We went to Keyaki mall because it's the only place that has to offer some kind of entertainment in campus.
We decided to watch a movie.
After that we went to get some lunch.
We were sitting at our table when I heard a familliar voince.
"Oh, if it isn't Ayanokouji-kun and Matsushita-san"
At the restaurant we met with some classmates of ours. It was Kushida and her group.
"Hmmm are you out on a date? asked Mori ready to tease
"Then we should go and let them have fun,, instead of teasing" said Maezono pinching Mori's cheek
I thought that they would leave seeing that Chiaki and I were out on a date. And I figured that was likely going to happen after watching this exchange between the two. But instead Kushida attached herself on me and asked if they could stay with us for some time.
In comparison to the start of ther school year, Kushida is now trying to interact more with me and I think I know why. (A/N Check the previous chapter if you don't remember why would she do that)
Anyway I can't just refuse because I wouldn't want them to get the wrong idea.
"Ok if it's only for some time you can come with us" I said
"Is that ok with you Matsushita-san?" asked Maezono
"Yes it's fine" answered Chiaki even though I understood that she wanted to be alone with me for our date.
After eating lunch we took a stroll and stumbled upon a store focused on music. It was full of discs, CDs and of course music instruments.
The moment the girls saw the piano they remembered my introduction and asked me to play. But I decided to refuse.
I noticed that Chiaki was looking at something. Tracing her line of sight I saw that she was staring at a violin.
"Chiaki are you playing the violin?" I asked
Her eyes widened in surprise and answered
"Actually yes. My mother wanted me to learn how to play it. But how do you know Kiyotaka-kun? I don't remember talking about that."
"I didn't know I only saw you staring at it so I guessed" I responded
"Then Matsushita-san will you play something for us?" asked Mori
"I don't know, I haven't played for a long time. And we are in public." said Chiaki trying to refuse but it caught my attention that she knew how to play the violin so I held her hand and said:
"You don't have to worry, so why don't you try to play something? At least, I would love to listen to you play" I said with a smile
"O-ok if you insist that much I will play. But only one song." she said a little embarassed
After finding her composure she walked towards the violin
"Wait, just let me ask the manager of the store if we are allowed to use it." I said
After asking I went back
"What did he say?" asked Kushida
"He said that we have permission to use all the instruments in here as long as we don't damage them. So Chiaki you can start whenever you are ready." I said
"*Inhales* Ok I think I am ready" she said and Chiaki started playing
So she decided to play "Fur Elise" by Beethoven.
An excellenmt choice if you ask my opinion. And one of my favourite songs too.
The way that she played was on the level of a proffesional.
Her figure swinging elegantly the bow of the violin and her face showing that harmony while playing made me feel a weird feeling.
(* Bow of the violin for those who don't know)
And not only that but the whole situation was so alluring that I didn't even realise when I sat on the seat near the piano and started playing as well, making this a duet.
The sound was something like this
(A/N I think you already know but the video is not mine. Credits to the creator and if you want, go and like the video it really sounds incredible)
Matsushita Chiaki's POV
I started playing for my friends but after a short while I heard another instrument in the store. It didn't take too long for me to realise that was Kiyotaka-kun. Even though he refused at first, he joined me and started playing with me.
Still focused on my violin I decided to look over at Kiyotaka-kun to look how he is doing
He was so absorbed in his piano that it looked kind of cute.
'*Shake**Shake* No I can't think about that now.' I thought and continued playing
As I was playing the harmony of the music around me led my mind to think about many things and I actually got lost in thought.
The words and the condition set by my father resounding in my head
'It's regrettable that he is such a great guy but we can't be together' I thought
'And it's even more regrettable that instead of walking away I am still staying here making all of these memories together with him. Memories that will make it even harder for me, to move on, in the future'
'I know that I have to do something about it.'
My train of thought came to an end when we reached the end of the song.
Many people where clapping and without realising it a crowd of many people had formed around us.
~Timeskip~
Some time passed and Kushida-san along with Mori-san and Maezono-san parted ways with us.
During the rest of our date I had a lot of fun. We were chatting and doing things together like we were a real couple. We ate ice-cream, drank some coffe and checked out almost every store that was selling clothes.
But all good things come to an end. It was night so we left the mall and walked towards the dorms.
~Timeskip: Ground floor of the dorms~
No one was around at this time. We went in the elevator and we pressed the buttons for our floors.
When we reached the fourth floor (A/N Ayanokouji's floor)
"Goodnight Chiaki. I had a lot of fun today" said Kiyotaka
When I saw his back I realised that this day was coming to an end.
I don't know why but on an impulse I tugged his back and started talking
"Kiyotaka wait. There is something I wanted to tell you." I said and then continued
"I think I lik--"
'Heh? What am I saying? I can't do that. I still don't know if he fulfills the condition papa set. And I wouldn't want to create a problem for him'
I felt like reality just slapped me in the face and the only thing I could do was look down.
"Chiaki are you ok?" asked Kiyotaka
"Hmm yes I am fine and I am sorry. Goodnight" I said and let go of him
The door closed and the elevator took me to my floor.
(A/N Just a reminder. She knows that Kiyotaka is from a wealthy family. Read the previous chapters if you don't remember. But she still doesn't know if he stands high enough in the Japanese society to be together with her.)
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's POV
That look on her face. I am sure it was something important. But I guess she regretted it and stopped midway. I am concerned about Chiaki but I am even more concerned about Kushida and how she approached us today.
~Flashback~
We were walking around the mall with Chiaki and Kushida's group. At some point the girls went inside a store which was full of clothes for teenage girls.
It seems like Mori and Maezono wanted Chiaki's opinion on the clothes that they were going to buy, since Chiaki liked fashion
"Now that we are alone let's have a little chat Ayanokouji-kun~"
"Kushida? Won't you go in with the others?" I asked
"No I have already bought enough clothes, so I don't need anything else, for the moment." she answered
"Now let's have a chat." she added
"Ok what do you want to talk about?" I asked
"Well I wanted to ask you about your relationship with Horikita-san." she said
"Horikita? Why?"
"It's just that all of these days I am trying to become her friend but she keeps rejecting me, so I wanted you to help me." she requested
"Help you? How? I mean I am not even talking with her" I said
"Come on, there is no point in playing dumb Ayanokouji-kun. Do you think that I didn't notice, that after the final race of the swimming contest, she tried to approach you?"
"Oh that? Yeah I noticed that too but other than that we don't have any other connection." I said
"That may be true but after showing her interest towards you, it means that it would me easy for you to befriend her and then help me too." she said
"*Sigh* That sounds too complicated and I don't wan--" I was going to refuse but got interrupted by her pressing her boobs on my arm
"Please Ayanokouji-kun. I want to be friends with everyone, so please help me to establish a good relatioship with Horikita-san" she said
"*Sigh* Ok I will see what I can do, but no promises" I said
But of course I will try to avoid it as much as I can
"That is enough for now" she said letting go of my arm
"But I want to ask something." I said
"Please go ahead" she said with that angelic but fake smile of hers
"Why are you so obsessed with Horikita?" I asked
And even if it was for a brief moment her smile disappeared and an expression of hatred was formed on Kushida's face.
"I am not obsessed it's just as I told you. I only want to be friends with everyone"
She regained her composure instantly and gave this answer.
~Flashback Ends~
I am going to have to find a way to avoid Kushida. She is a threat to my peaceful life. But what I am more concerned about is that her other personality may harm others that are close to me, like Chiaki, Maya or Kei.
I may have to use some of my real abilities in the near future.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yooooo! That is all for this chapter!
I don't know. I personally like it.
I tried to add just a small amount of drama and see how it goes.
Plus I tried to add some problems from external factors (for example Kushida)
Ok so I want to say sorry for uploading less than usual but I am really busy with all the school stuff.
Plus I have another story too that I need to update (I updated there last week)
Now for this chapter's question:
Tell me what would you like to see in a book from me?
It can be anything. You can suggest a plot, or even another series if you would prefer something else and not COTE.
I already have some ideas but I would you to give me your opinions on the matter too!
