Auditorium

*yawns sitting in one of the back seats*

Just as long as he doesn't annoy me.

*lays head back on the verge of sleep*

*walks up onto the stage and sits on the piano stool, pulling the key cover up*

*plays a couple of notes and holds down the first and final pedal, playing the classic Fur Elise*

*puts arm over eyes*

That's not helping.

*continues playing and hits a key that makes a pang sound*

*frowns and hits the key again, hearing that pang sound louder*

Someone broke the key.

*clenches fist and closes the cover quietly, sitting straight*

Keep panging the damn key! It'll get better!

*mumbles something*

*glances over to Kukai then back to the key cover slowly*

*lifts the key cover up and begins hitting the bad key with enough strength*

*continues this process and the panging sound continues*

Damn it.

*raising arm and glares at her*

*a earthen plane flies in*
COME TO OS'S RESTRAUNT AND BAR HAVE SOME FOOD AND/OR DRINK, OR JUST COME HANG OUT

*stops playing the key and pulls hand back*

Shindou-san had a gun. And he... offered it to me.

*looks from Sakurai to the plane*

I'm hungry.

*shakes head slowly with a slight smile, pulling the key cover down*

He does not care.

*stands up and walks off the stage, opening the door and looking outside*

Come on, then.

*stands up following her*

You sure it wasn't a banana he pulled out?

*raises an eyebrow and turns face to look at Kukai*

I believe so. Now take 'banana' out of your mind.

*walks out towards the restaurant*

Now, hurry the hell up or you are paying for yourself.

*looks confused and follows her*

What are you thinking about?

*slams one of the doors wide open as it smacks against the wall*

*lunges in soaking wet as the door smacks shut, giving a loud echo throughout the auditorium*

*stays on her hands and knees for a moment, catching her breath and coughing*

*stands up still breathing in a labored fashion, looking around then glancing to the dim-lit stage*

*walks up the steps of the stage and looks at the grand piano in the center*

*steps over to it and takes the seat out, slipping herself under the piano and bringing her legs to her chest tightly*

*exhales and hears the thunder crack, the flash from the lightning gleaming through the tall window, jumping in her spot and ducking her head*

Damn weather. Tch-

*Kenoo sat in the last seat on the first row. His eyes were closed and yet he was looking at the stage*

Are you going play that or just sit in front of it?

*stays seated under the piano, legs brought up to chest and head ducked down*

*exhales slowly, showing she's fast asleep*

*Kenoo opened one eye when he didn't get an answer. He would have said something more about it, but decided to just let the peace and quite happen while they both had it*

.....

*she stirs in her sleep and lifts her head slowly, her hands still latched over her head*

*lowers hands and blinks repeatedly, opening her eyes as they adjust to the low light*

Tch-

*moves out from under the piano and sits down on the seat, resting her hands delicately on the key cover*

*He steps into the auditorium, nodding at Kenoo*
Hey Kenoo.

*pulls the key cover up and pushes it back, giving a long sigh, her body jumping to the sound of the thunder*

*lays fingers on the keys and begins to play Gymnopedie No.1 perfectly, closing her mind to ignore the weather*

*Kenoo opened his eyes at the sound of Sakurai's movements*

Will I get to hear you play now

*Kenoo shifted his gaze to the back as a voice spoke to him*

Good Evening Daryan

*He hears music, and raises an eyebrow*
*He looks over, noticing Sakurai, and nods lightly*
*He returns his attention to Kenoo*
I've come here to bid you farewell. I'm thinking of leaving the academy to return to my former country.

*Kenoo glanced over to Sakurai then back to Daryan*

Why is that?
