Chapter 3- Black Fantasy

"Um, Imaroshi-san...."

"Just call me Kuroma, no need to be too formal...."

"Um, hai...."

"This Piano will be played only by you until September..." Kuroma exclaimed as she slowly touch the keys of the piano...

I nodded with a slight voice...

"So, our teacher told us that we are only assigned in the lyrics part, but only the tune of the song will be presented on the Festival, which means, the tunes are assigned to you musicians..."

She went back to her table, and gave me the papers...

"My job is done... Look at the lyrics, and make the tunes.... Feel free to go here in my house if you want to either practice or if you're already done, and let's see what we can do :)"

"T-thanks...."

"I'll be leaving you for a while... And please, don't hesitate to GO OUT, until the clock strikes at 7:00..."

"Wait, why is there even a time?"

"Personal problems... Another thing is to lock the door always so that no one will barge in..." And then she left, locking the door... Hmmp, i wonder why is she so strict, it's like our first time to meet, and we're not even that friendly to each other... Anyways, i began reading the lyrics that she made...

"Yesterday, dreams were shattered,
My friend, what's the matter,
So many thoughts you wanna write,
So many dreams you want to draw..."

I read the first stanza...

it was a wonderful lyrics.... it's all about friendship... i think?

i put down the paper, and started thinking of a tune for this....

"yesterday........ dreams were shattered....." i stated the first line once again...

I closed my eyes... and then i hummed... thinking about my past..... the the past where she used to there with me....

without thinking, i suddenly found myself singing the whole line...

"that was..... good?"

i tried to play it using the piano............

Then i suddenly got a feeling that September would be surprising....

I breathe, and i started to be curious, what else is inside this very huge hall before i continued...

I stood up, and went in every inch of the hall.....

In the left wall, there were trophies, certificates, and awards that are shining through it, while at the other side, there were big paintings of people... I went to the other side to look at it....

Those paintings were painted by a popular painter in France, 'Fransisco Boglohar' as stated on the wall, and every frames has a name on it... It was all Imaroshis.... So this is Kuroma-san's family huh? It's really big... From her great grandfather up to their generation.....

But i noticed something after that.... There was one frame that doesn't have a name... And that frame was next to her brother's frame. It's a girl.... But it's strange, because she's the only blonde in the family, and the whole family has a brown hair... Other than that, she looks down? Maybe?

Naah, i don't care about it now... It's the Imaroshi family afterall, an ultra-rich family, but at the same time, mysterious... Right now, i have to go back to my work....

~7:00~

after having a start from our task, Watari and I finally went home...

"so, how was it?"

"it's fine, but a bit hard...." i nodded....

"i think it would be cool as long as it's from my friend, Arima Kousei..." he gave me a giant smile as if he's giving me some perseverance....

i laughed....

~~~~~'''''~~~~~

It was very dark now, and it looks like Me and Watari are the only ones walking by the streets...

While we're walking, Watari is singing a song that I don't know, probably a song of hie favorite j-pop band...

Out of the blue, a black cat suddenly appeared before us....

Wait..... It looks familiar... The cat..... Wait... It's already dead... Why is it here?

I suddenly felt dizzy. I fell down, and Watari held me tight....

"KOUSEI!!! ARE YOU OKAY?!"

It took a moment before I answered....

"Um, hai...."

"Are you sure?" I stood up...

"Yes, i'm okay..."

My memories are suddenly going back, and it looks like my way is getting black... What is this? I don't know... It's weird... I look like a zombie going back to life...

It's a good thing that i could still balance myself...

And then we finally crossed the railroad....

Watari then said goodbye before leaving....

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes, don't worry" i gave him a light smile...

"Okay then, i'll be going now, see ya...."

I headed home....

~~~~~"""""~~~~~

I was staring at the sealing of my room... Thinking about what happened a while ago... I was also thinking about the cat... I still remember how the cat died 3 years ago... It always reminded me how Kaori left me... I feel sick right now... Why is it even alive?

Nah, i'm pretty sure it's just part of my illusions. Maybe that's its child before it died. I sighed and found myself closing my eyes... I wonder what kind of dream will I have...
