HIS PROBLEM

Chapter 7:

It is one of the rare days of Tsukina. She has no work and there's no training. So, she is strolling on the street with her violin in tow. One of the things she enjoys the most is playing the violin and today she is going to do a performance where some of her money is being given. It is a ranch where maltreated animals are being catered back to their prime.

Tetsuya is out with Aomine and later, he will be meeting with her at their favourite restaurant near their home.

"Good morning, Haru-san," Tsukina greets with a smile. Haru-san is the daughter of the owner of this rehabilitation ranch.

"Good morning, Tsukina-san," Haru answers back with a smile. She then glances at the violin carrier on Tsukina-san's hand. "Are you going to play some music to the horses?"

Tsukina nods her head in reply. One thing she likes is playing classical music to the horses in the center. It is not that she doesn't like other animals but she is more at ease in horses. She has a black Arabian horse when she is a kid but since she is never home; her parents sold it to a family friend.

"But be mindful Tsukina-san, father will have guest. They are going to ride around the field."

Tsukina gives an okay sign and smiles. "I will be mindful. I will just be at the stable." She then runs off towards the backyard.

Akashi halts his horse, Yukimura, as he hears the sound of violin on the stable.

Fujimura, the owner of the ranch, stops too and turns his attention towards the stable and finally the sound of violin reaches his ears. "Ah," he mutters in realization. "Did it bother you, Akashi-kun?"

"No, it didn't. Is your daughter playing the violin?" Akashi inquires. The technique is flawless as it finish F. Schubert's piece, Ave Maria, and now it is going into Pachelbel's Canon in D major.

"It's a guest of mine that likes playing for the animals. She's a student in Teiko just like you together with her brother."

Akashi turns his attention towards Fujimura-san. "Can I ask for the name of the mystery violin player?"

"Do you want to meet her? I am sure she will be delighted to know that someone is interested listening to her music."

"Sure," Akashi says and looks at Yukimura. His horse looks like he is also enjoying the calming effect of the violin sound. It is truly smooth and flawless. There's not one bit out of tune as it change into another song.

"Tsukina,"

Tsukina stops playing and jumps in freight when she sees Akashi holding the reign of a white horse. "Akashi, Fujimura-san," she says.
