Her Ensemble (Hunter x Hunter fanfiction)

Chapter 2

I had finally reached the grocery store and went inside to purchase my items. Tonight I wanted to make spaghetti for dinner, so I grabbed all the ingredients I needed for that. I also grabbed a bunch of other items I would need for the week and more ingredients for meals. I then checked out and started on my way. As I walked out the doors of the store, I hurried home because it was getting dark, the rain was starting to fall harder, and the bags were starting to get really heavy. I arrived home and put all my groceries away then I started dinner because I was starving.

I made my spaghetti and sat down on the couch to watch some TV, while I ate my food. I was trying to decide what to watch, and I finally decided on Hunter x Hunter. It was one of my favorite shows to watch. When I was younger, I used to watch a lot of TV because I had nothing else to do besides practice my violin and schoolwork. One day while I was flipping through channels trying to find something to watch. I stumbled across Hunter x Hunter and it opened my eyes to a whole new world. I ended up watching all of it wanting to find other anime to watch and eventually I started to read manga as well.

I was fascinated with Hunter x Hunter so much. I loved Gon, Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio. They possessed something I desired to have. Friends. When you are twelve years old watching kids your age make friends and embark on adventures. Let's just say you yearn to be them and be a part of what they have.

As I finished my food and the episode, I decided to go get ready for bed. I took a quick shower and threw on some pajamas. Next I started my nightly ritual which consisted of me practicing my violin. I grabbed my violin and looked through my music folder for a piece I felt like playing. I found one that suited my mood for tonight. Fantasia on Greensleeves. I picked it up and walked towards the balcony door. The rain had stopped a while ago, but it was still cloudy and I couldn't see the night sky. I swung the door open and stepped outside.

I walked forward and began tuning my violin. It took me a few minutes, and I glanced at the first measure to remind me of how it started. Then I was prepared to get into my zone. My zone was a place in which my mind and body are relaxed. Everything around me disappears and it feels as if it's just me in the moment. It's like my violin is one with me and all my emotions at the time are on display. When I am in the zone, I play at my absolute best.

I slowly closed my eyes and stood absolutely still. The wind started to caress my skin ever so softly as I got into my zone and I embraced the shiver that went down my spine. I then started to block out the city noise until it was muffled in my ears. I gently raised my bow and drew it across the strings. The piece felt so right in the moment. Melancholy and soft, the perfect duo for what I was feeling at the moment.

My body started to move with the piece and my arms moved on their own without hesitation. My thoughts were racing as I played, but my body knew the piece by heart. Each note played brought forth my emotions to the surface. It was beautiful. My desires and wishes were on display for all of the world to see, yet I didn't care at all right now. All that mattered was letting it out.

Once I finished the piece, I opened my eyes and realized that I had tears streaming down my face. The song had reflected everything I was feeling, and I poured it out by playing this song. I felt overwhelmed, and the cold air was stinging my skin. I turned around and headed inside to go to bed.

I sat down on my bed and put away my violin into its case. My thoughts were in turmoil after playing my violin. I just wanted to go to sleep. I got up and turned off the light to my bedroom. I laid down getting under the covers and stared at the ceiling.

Now that I was laying here, I felt empty inside. I was supposed to be satisfied that I poured my heart out, but instead I feel embarrassed. I feel embarrassed because the whole time while I was playing I was supposed to let out my feelings of being alone. Instead, I wished that I could be whisked away from here into the world of Hunter x Hunter where I could become friends with Gon and the gang. It was a silly and embarrassing wish, but I think I would do anything to join their world. I could feel my face was getting hot for thinking that, and I quickly pinched my cheeks.

"That is never gonna happen," I softly said out loud. I don't know why I fantasize about impossible things. It just makes me desire them more even though it will never come true. I sighed and then curled up in a ball on my bed. I was very tired now and just wanted to get some good sleep. I yawned very loudly and closed my eyes. Just as I was drifting off into a deep sleep, a faint voice reached my ears.

"Goodnight Rosemary," a voice gently said, then I was asleep.
