When I woke up I was in a traditional Japanese house I woke up to see a pair of eyes looking at me I blinked in response as I realized it was a boy around my age as he smiled at me and ran to the doors

"Aunt shes awake now" he yelled out as he ran back to where I was

"How do you feel ?" he asked me

"Tired and thirsty got any water" I managed to say with a voice that was no louder than a whisper

"One glass of water coming right up!" he said with a bright smile as he ran out of the room and a woman with long orange hair came in

"Always very energetic," she said with a smile she then looked at me

"Please forgive my nephew Violet Nakamura," she said as she sat next to me

"How?" I was saying

"Oh I apologize my name is ...." as she was about to say the boy came back holding a tray with water and some soup he walked and put the tray next to the bed and he sat next to the woman

" as I was saying my name is Sakura Hinata and this is my nephew Hinata shoyo he plays the Violin," she said as she put her hand on his head and he smiled back

"Nice to meet you," he said with a smile then another woman came in I guessed it was his mother

"Were leaving now shoyo tell aunt goodbye?" She said the boy turned around to face me

" I need to leave now bye I hope you get better soon" as he waved goodbye to me and his aunt the room turned back to pure silence

" I heard what happened I can give you two options one stay here and do nothing or prove them wrong," She said with a smile

I thought about it although I wanted no more than to leave that family I decided I needed to at least get my honor back

" Please help me play the Piano please help me," I said with tears in my eyes

"But of course child plus I get the feeling you'll be a great pianist even though my family is all about the violin who knows you might be the first pianist in the Hinata family," she said as she walked out of the room

"Shoyo Hinata for some reason I get the feeling our paths will cross again in the future," I said to myself.

Back to the present

Who would have thought the both of us would end up playing music together two fallen musicians with nothing but the passion for music?

I smile my future has always been filled with darkness but know I know that was there is light everywhere it all depends on how much effort you put forward to stay there

As I hear the soft melody coming from Shoyo's violin I know there is a story behind his melody however now is the time to show the audience the power of our music so I smile and look down at the piano keys and start playing but not before I feel a tear slide down my cheek.

Hinata's POV

Wow she's amazing with the piano but I can feel there is a part of her that always lingers in the shadow of others but that's not how I play

As I look back at her and our eyes meet I smile at her and she smiles back. We are musicians. We make music even though we can't say how much we have lost. The only way to communicate with us is our music.

As we finished playing I lower my violin and look to the audience

"Goodbye" I hear as I look to where the doors are I see violet looking at me with a smile as she waves and then vanishes into nothing

"Thank you for everything," I say in a whisper

as both I and violet take a bow and walk off the stage we both look at each other and

"Wow that was amazing Violet your piano music was amazing truly a beautiful melody," I say to her

"You too Shoyo, I want to thank you for letting me finally take a step into the light," She said to me with a smile

"Violet let me tell you something there is beauty everywhere it's just a matter of how long it takes you to realize the big picture even the light has its dark moments," I said with a bright smile
