Prologue: Nothing but Trouble

A/N:

Dammit! I'm supposed to be writing for NaNoWriMo! What am I doing?! Well... I guess all I can do is hope that I'll be able to get back to that before the deadline, huh?

Anyone notice that my pen name is no longer Infinity Moment? Well, I like this one better. End. Of. Story. :P

Anyway, you guys realize that this'll keep happening until I find another story that sticks like TKC and FESR, right? I just keep coming up with new stories left and right, and there really isn't any way to stop the flow without getting it down on my word processor.

So, I'm making my second standalone harem fic, aren't I? (Shattered Memories doesn't count, as it's the sequel to something else)

As you may have guessed, this is a music-related fic. (Oh my glob! It doesn't have swords in it!) I have no idea how many of these there are in the SAO archive, but I'm doing one anyway. To tell the truth, I came up with another fic of this name about a month back, but it was so full of swearing, I just couldn't post it. This one won't be as vulgar as the original one was, as this one is set in... you guessed it— high school!

"I guess you had that dream again, huh?" someone said from the bed next to mine.

"Yeah... Sorry for waking you up, Sachi," I said, rubbing the back of my head.

"Want to get up and get something to drink?" Sachi asked me, sitting up in her bed. "My parents just got some herbal tea that's supposed to calm you down."

She got up, took my hand, and led me to her kitchen. As always, its size intimidated me. Compared to my own kitchen, hers looked fit for a king... no, a god.

Sachi opened the cabinet to the far left, pulling out some teabags.

"They look exotic," I whispered.

"You know, my parents aren't home tonight," Sachi said, making my heart start to pound at the implications. "You don't have to whisper."

Oh, thank god. That just about killed my heart.

"Whatever," I told her, my perfect façade protecting my nervousness from exposure... or so I thought.

Unfortunately for me, she knew me well enough to see right through it.

"You were totally freaking out back there!" she said, cracking up. "I've no intention of losing it this early on. Besides, we're not even in a relationship. Remember the belief we share?"

"Love is nothing but trouble," we said unanimously.

But sadly, I'm starting to experience firsthand just how true that is.

Until recently, I had believed I would never fall in love, and that people who did were destined to get hurt by heartbreak. And of course, of all the people I could fall for, it just had to be...
