"I-I'm sorry... W-what'd you say?"

But no one was behind him. Or around him at all, he was alone.

Yagi rushed out of the library, stumbling, almost dropping his books a couple times.

He'd find Kami waiting by the doors near the entrance.

"Everything alright Yagi?"

"Yeah, I think I'm just hearing things is all"

"Fair enough? I guess?"

They walked out, talking about the 'books' they got, and that Kami had to have Yagi come over and do the project now instead of over the weekend.

"Manga is literature!"

"Alright, sure... Whatever you say, Yagi"

Still somewhat arguing about their literature choice, they both walked back to Kami's house.

Yagi called his mom and told her that 'he'd be home in a minute to pick up his old instrument, but then he'd go back to Kami's house so that they could work on their project'

Yagi's mom agreed, no matter how much she hated Yagi going to another girl's house.

-=-=-=-=- After getting the instrument -=-=-=-=-

Yagi walked back to Kami's house, Saxophone case in hand.

As he was told, he walked in, sense Kami said that she'd "just leave the house unlocked"

No parents greeted him, which he found odd, since most of the time, whenever he visited someone he was greeted by their parents first.

"Ready to get started?"

"First... Why did you say we had to do this today? I don't remember what you said..."

"Because I have really important stuff to do over the weekend... It's uh- Kind of personal."

"Okay... O-oh... By the way, if you don't mind me asking... W-Where are your parents?"

"Oh... My parents? My Mom passed away because of... Well- Cancer... My Dad, ever since he joined the military... Has been no-where to be found, I guess... I just assume they are dead..."

"So, you live here alone?"

"No, my Grandma and her maid come over a few times a month, but other than that, yea... I guess so. I live alone..."

"Well anyways... Away from that topic, ready to get started?"

"We'll have to wait, the school said they won't deliver the instrument or instruments... For another hour or so..."

"Oh... W-Well... What do you wanna do?..."

"I dunno, wanna start composing?"

"Sure!"

"Aaaannd... Complete! What do you think Yagi?"

"I- Wow, I would never be able to compose that well, that's amazing Kami!"

Then they talked, all the way until the people with the instruments came.

"We have both a Bari, Tenor and a Soprano for you to use, so pick whichever.

"Sweet!" Kami said "I think we'll go with the Bari"

"Okay, be careful, it's heavy."

"I know! Thank you!"

"Mhm"

While listening, Yagi thought Hey, that man sounds familiar... And surprisingly young... Where've I heard his voice from?
