Iris's pov

"Wait, what?!" I shouted.

"Sing! I heard rumors about you having an amazing singing voice, but I never really heard it" Akito said.

"No" I said.

"Please"

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"Pretty please"

"No"

"Please"

"No means no"

"Please"

"For the last time, no"

"*sigh* I give up"

"Good"

I stood up.

"Since you don't have anything to do, let's start with our lesson" I said.

"Okay"

Time skip~

Akito stretched his arms.

"Finally! We're done!" He cheered.

"Well, now that we're done, I suggest that you fix your things" I said as I place my things in my bag.

Akito also fixed his things. Once we're done, we still didn't leave the music room. Akito is playing with his phone. I got bored, so I took the guitar and started to strum it. I started to hum. Then, I sung.

3rd person's pov

Akito was fixing his things when he heard someone strumming a guitar and humming. He didn't look at Iris, and just continued to fix his things.

(Start/Play the music)

Counting Stars

Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

Akito's head immediately snapped towards Iris when he heard her voice.

I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my faces flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
The old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I, feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I, feel something so wrong
But doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

He looked at her. Mouth hanging, bright eyes, Frozen in place. He was definitely amazed by this.

Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming 'bout the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming 'bout the things that we could be
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Akito smiled, and closed his eyes.

I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is a four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I, feel something so wrong
But doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

'wow, Iris is definitely capable of doing almost everything...' he thought.

Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming 'bout the things that we could be
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Take that money and watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned

Akito started to clap along with the rhythm.

Take that money and watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned

Take that money and watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned

Take that money and watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming 'bout the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming 'bout the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

*claps*

"Iris! You're voice is amazing!" Akito said.

"Thanks, but don't tell others about me singing" I said.

"I don't get why you keep it a secret. I mean you have a really amazing talent" Akito said.

"I simply don't like too much attention" I said.

"Coming from a noble" Akito said.

"Not all nobles like attention, and besides you're a noble yourself" I said.

"True.." he said.

"Well, enough with the chit chats, we need to search for other infos and clues about the legend" I said as I picked my bag.

"Oh, right. C'mon" Akito said.

Then we left the music room, and started our search.
