*Shika's POV*
It's been some time since the Utapri Award passed. Since then, both Starish and I have been doing well. I was quite tired, since I had a full day to do many interviews with different businesses. They all wanted to hear what I had to say about being a nominated female and topping Heavens at the concert.

By the time I was done, it was already nighttime. Heading back to the Master Course dorms, I watched the cherry blossoms fly in the wind. It reminded me of the first day I started school at Saotome Academy. Much has changed since then.

Making many wonderful friends, debuting as a solo artist, getting the freedom to love and getting back my long lost voice. So much happened since that day and I was happy to be where I am now.

Heading inside, I enjoyed the view of the night sky. The soft clouds that decorated the sky to accompany the stars, all to let the moon shine down. It all brought a sense of calmness over me.

"I love you!" A yell broke my thoughts, turning to see Syo in the courtyard. He turned around to see me, blushing from my presence.

Both Syo and I were told about the movie, Prince of Fighting. The director loved our performance in the last show we acted in, so they asked for us to play the leading roles. Since I was busy all day, I didn't get to see my lines or practice with him.

He showed me the scene he was practicing, a love scene for both of us to act out. Pulling me close, he wrapped an arm around my waist and held my head as he recited his lines. As he gazed into my eyes, I wore a smile while blushing from our close proximity. The space slowly got smaller as we leaned in for a kiss. It was short and sweet before we pulled apart.

"I know we'll do great Syo-kun. Let's practice more, first thing in the morning." I smiled at him as he moved his hand from my head, lowering it to my waist.

"Okay Shika, have a good night." Sharing a kiss, I left to return to my room. On the way there, I heard the sound of galloping. Turning to the source, I saw Camus riding a snow white horse.

"Good night Camus-senpai. Pardon me but I have to say that you look elegant with your horse under the moon lit sky." I smiled at him. He wasn't one to accept or give compliments, but I believe I've grown closer to him since the day I met him. He only grunted at me before he rode off, but that was his way of saying thank you to me.

The sound of singing caught my attention, so I turned to see Mikaze singing with the moon shining down on him. The moment he saw me, I greeted him and complimented his singing. He came up to me, staring into my eyes.

"You have happiness and love in your soul, same for your songs. You express them through your words and actions. How do you do it?" He asked me, keeping his curious gaze on me. I told him it was hard to explain. For me, I just want to express it to everyone so it just does. I couldn't explain how, but I did explain why I did it. To fill those that listen with the same happiness and love that I feel everyday. He nodded to me and allowed me to leave.

Heading inside, I saw Kurosaki sitting by the window. He had headphones on and seemed to be asleep, so I didn't want to disturb him. I walked on, but stopped when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Next thing I knew, his hand was on my head. Kurosaki took up a cherry blossom from my head before walking off.

Going to the stairs, I saw Reiji waiting for me. He greeted me with a smile, so I smiled back at him. He was curious about my day, so I told him all that happened.

"You show love and happiness through your songs, but it's the innocent type. How about I show you the world of adults to widen your spectrum?" His phrasing brought a blush to my face. He turned away from me, saying that I'll find out on my own.
