"Im sorry, im late" Hanami bowed slightly at the manager.
Even though she was only 5 minutes late.
The Manager sighed. Instead of beginning to scold Hanami, he turned to see familiar visiters and one unfamiliar to him. "I see you've brought friends." He said.
Hanami nodded. "Yes, You should know Sai-chan and Arthur-san already, and this is Ito Masaru-san." She introduced.
"Its very nice to meet you all" The Manager said with a friendly smile.
He then turned towards Arthur answering his question. "We would be playing 'Just with you', 'Happiness', 'Slow' and last but not least 'Eternal Love'. They were all composed by none other than Hanami-san" He said, gesturing Hanami to the piano.
As the Manager had listed the songs, Hanami headed to the piano.
"Alright, Now...Start" The manager ordered from the microphone.
As soon as the record butten was pressed, Hanami began to play a light tune.

- As you may know, I prefer the great works of Beethoven, Mozart, Stravinsky etc., but this will also suffice - said Arthur

He drank his water and turned to Sai.

"Yes but i still say Hanami is the best" Sai replied to Arthur. Trying to resist the urge to dance, exspecialy in front of Arthur Sai wraped her legs around the chair and wringing her hands in her lap.

"So, she isn't a classical legend. Hanami-san is very impressive. She is professional level at age 18. I could listen to her all day." Masaru stared intently becoming lost in her performance. He watched her every movement.

- I am not minorizing her influence and talent, I have just said that i preferr that. And Mr. Masrau, stop kissing up. It is getting kind of annoying - whispered Arthur to Masaru's ear

He turned to Sai.

- So, how's it been at school ? - he asked

"It is not kissing up. I really like this music. I really can't turn away." Masaru replied in a dream like state.

Slowly and steadily, Hanami gently pressed against the light keys to end the song.
It wasnt after a few seconds that the Manager had noted her to play the next song.
As she moved her hands up onto the keys once again, she gently began to play the next song.
Her smooth movements repelled her from her nervous thoughts.
Playing the piano, she seemed like a whole different person.

"Angel." Masaru thought aloud. He realized his mistake too late as he put his hand over his mouth. He just couldn't help saying it. He looked at the girl playing piano and that's the thought that came to mind. He just hoped no one would notice.

Hanami continued to play with ease, pressing against each note one by one or in chords.
She had entirely forgotten about her nervousness and she seemed somewhat at peace.
As she ended the song with a fast harmonising chord, she dropped her hands to her lap slowly.
She sighed for the song that she had played just then was a fast upbeat song, that was accompanied by drums and guitars.
There was a sudden applause that made her shreak slightly, but her expression was more than happy.
She looked up at the clock seeing that it was time for their 5 minute break.
She stood up, heading towards Arther, Sai and Masaru with a nervous, yet happy smile. "A..ano..what did you think?" She asked them nervously.

- Well, I doubt that I can give an answer that will satisfy all of us, but all I can say is that you are good, really good. The music is not what I myself prefer, so... but it is still very good, from a musician's point of view. I myself play the violin, but I am out of touch for the past 2 years. I just do not have time. I hope that the other will give a more satisfactory answer - sais Arthur

"It was incredible. Especially for an 18 year old." Masaru answered nervously. He hoped that his angel comment had went unnoticed. He fought hard to hold back a blush but to no avail.

"T..thank you, both of you" Hanami said nervously with a smile. She was glad that people liked her music and with that fact, she felt happy.
She was sure that Sai loved it, because she always did, even the ones that she completly failed in, But to get good comments from guys, especially Masaru, made her feel happy.

((Is this one dead?))

He had gone this far; it was time to give it his all. "Hanami-san.......would you like to go out with me?" There, it was done. All he had to do now was await the results. He braced himself for the worst.

((i think everyone was waiting for you to reply lol, either that, or they're just not on much for their own reasons))

Hearing those words from Masaru made her blush deeply. She thought of what to say to answer back at him.
She was happy to hear those words from him. It was one that she had wanted to hear for the entire day.
She tried to speak, but nothing come out. She was too nervous to even say anything.
Taking advantage of her speechlessness, she gave him a quick nod.

(Hope I am not too late)

- Finally! I have waited for this moment for a while now. And just when I had wanted to give up, you do it. Bravo old chap - said Arthur as he took his water and took another drink.
- Miss Hanami, there are words for answering a questions. I know it is hard, but try to use them. The can be rather useful in life - said Arthur

The sky was on fire; Hanami had said yes. Then his heart stopped; he hadn't been on a date in a long time, since his first year in high school. He'd worry about that later. "I have no problem with your cute little nod. You can be as shy as you want." He was feeling proud of his bold nature as of late. Ito Masaru, he told himself, you better not screw this up or I will kill you repeatedly.
