Is this the same sky?.

Back at school when other students were busy with their excursion Yuki was even restrained by the three third-graders he met this morning.

"What is this senpai?." Tanya Yuki who was cornered behind the warehouse.

The three people did not answer Yuki's question they instead cornered the girl even more. You pissed me off, Yuki's inner being held captive by the three people in front of her.

"What do you want?." Yuki's voice turned flat.

Two of them suddenly block each of Yuki's hands.

"You." Replied the man standing right in front of Yuki staring straight at his blue bead.

How dare you touch me!, exasperated Yuki. The man in front of Yuki drew his face closer and tried to kiss the girl.

Yuki's two hands turned rapidly reversing the situation. His index finger and thumb firmly gripped the index finger of the two men made them fall down.

"Araa!." Their screams made the leader stop his movement.

His face was already very close to Yuki's face.

With a flat look and an expressionless face Yuki returned the gaze of the man. The screams from the two friends did not stop the leader's intentions, the man brought his face closer to Yuki's.

Crick.

The sound of both finger bones followed a terrifying scream.

"Aaaarrgghh ..! ittai! (sick!)." The leader froze silently, Yuki shifted his face dodging.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do it." Lirih Yuki with her cold voice. The two people who were screaming in pain froze, their guts shrieking, horrified feelings running through them.

Brakes.

Yuki kicked the leader's shin making him retreat in pain. Yuki let go of her index finger and thumb violently.

"Don't do anything like this again to any woman." Yuki's aura changed, his words sounded absolutely indisputable.

The men on the right and left side of Yuki immediately bowed their heads as well as the leader despite the great pain he tried to rest in front of Yuki.

"Good!. Forgive us." As they bowed in unison, Yuki stepped on her feet gracefully as the nobles left them.

8:10 p.m. Yuki walks home from the minimarket near her home. He can not sleep, plus his mood is also bad because of that Yuki decided to go out looking for sweet foods, especially his favorite chocolate flavor ice cream.

A large enough plastic bag hangs in Yuki's springy clothes. The girl saw two brothers swinging a /batt hitter in front of the house.

"Keiji kun ...!." Yuki's voice stopped their activities, the girl waved her hand excitedly towards the sisters.

"Konbanwa senpai (Good night)." Sapa Yuki stared at Hajime at a glance.

"You guys are training together?." Ask Yuki.

"Pick." Answer Keiji.

"Want a little break?." Yuki asked opening the plastic bag in her hand, Keiji and Hajime nodded at a glance. Yuki went to sit in front of the porch of the Yuuki family house, he patted his right side telling them to sit down.

"Other times when going out at night asking Keiji or me to accompany you, it's not good for women to go out alone at night." Hajime said, sitting to the right of Yuki.

"Give me your phone." Pinta Keiji, Yuki reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the flat object, giving it to Keiji. Keiji typed something into Yuki's phone while sitting on the girl's left.

Yuki took out a drink and some snacks gave it to Hajime which was received by the man. Yuki opened her chocolate ice cream which she put straight into her mouth.

"I've already entered my number and sister's number." Keiji returns Yuki's phone back to its owner.

"Arigato." Yuki received her phone.

"Which one do you like?." Tanya Yuki opened the plastic bag wide, Keiji took the ice cream and ate it.

"I heard you got some trouble at school." Chirp Hajime.

"Pick." Keiji glanced at Yuki at a glance.

The rumors quickly spread, Inner Yuki.

"I don't know what to do, they always come looking for me." Yuki.

"You can't keep avoiding. Face it, it's the only way. But if anyone's nagging you tell me." Yuki finished her ice cream in one bite.

"Hi', I'm counting on you senpai." Yuki answered her hand opening the snack pack.

"What are you talking about?." Ask the curious Keiji.

"G ... Gomen (Sorry)." Yuki looked at Keiji.

"Last afternoon I was run over by my upperclassman for resisting the feelings of the people he liked." Clearly Yuki was brief, keeping the deeds of the three school-leaders a secret to him.

"Defy?." Keiji Repeat.

"For example, some children express their feelings, some secretly put a letter in the shoe." Furious Yuki, pouting, while chewing his snack while explaining let out his frustration.

"Keiji kun is a shoe locker not a postbox why they put it there." Yuki put another snack in her mouth.

"I don't deserve any of that, they should be looking for a better woman, right." Yuki looked at Keiji asking for a defense.

"Don't ask me, I never get a letter." Keiji finished his ice cream.

"Huh? you're kidding me. Senpai, you got it too, right?." Yuki turned to look at Hajime.

"Hm." Hajime Sahut.

"You heard Keiji kun senpai also got a letter." Yuki protests that feel strange, the girl thinks every child must get a love letter like her. Keiji, the boy threw away his face violently.

"Fra. Ara ra ra, looks like someone's snooping." Yuki Ledek.

"Who?." Keiji said, Yuki pinched the squash on Keiji's cheek.

"Did? not admit hm ..." Yuki smiled wryly.

"Hachibara san take off your hands, dirty." Keiji Protest.

"Darlingly, I ate with my right hand earlier." Yuki waved his free right hand while his left hand increasingly aggressively played on Keiji's cheek.

"Hachibara san." Keiji stopped protesting, the boy was already resigned to his destiny.

"They'll be cranky again." Yuki said her mood had changed. Hajime smiled watching while enjoying a snack.

A few minutes had passed but Yuki was still at home playing with Keiji's puffed cheeks.

"Keiji let's practice again." Take Hajime.

"Yosh .., yosh (Cup .., cup), passion." Yuki gently patted the head tip of Keiji encouragingly however, Keiji's response grew even more sullen making Yuki laugh. Keiji's round face plus his pouting expression looked extremely cute.

In the end Yuki accompanied the two brothers to practice while enjoying her snack. Things that the girl did not realize, she began to change because of the people around her.

***

That morning just like the morning before, Yuki was in the library avoiding the people who were looking for her. Seven minutes before class starts Yuki returns to class, on the second floor he meets the three delinquents yesterday. The three people suddenly bowed to Yuki.

"Ohayou! (Good morning!)." Greet them.

"Oha-you gozaimasu." Reply Yuki slightly hesitated, the three of them remained bowed until Yuki walked past them.

Strange, inner Yuki.

The first hour of rest, Natsume suddenly pulls Yuki's hand running out of the classroom down the stairs quickly.

"Hazuki wait." Said Yuki who was not ignored by the sweet girl.

"Explain what is this?." Yuki asked on the sidelines.

"I'll explain later." Answer Natsume.

"Wait, what about your legs?." Natsume looked back smiling widely.

"It's been cured thanks to you." Answer Natsume.

They finally stopped in the middle of the yard precisely near the football field and relay track.

"I managed to take him." Natsume.

Yuki saw two men and a beautiful woman were busy preparing their equipment. Yuki's feeling turned unpleasant, her instincts started to work. The three walked over to Yuki and Natsume.

"Sorry for forcing you here." Said the beautiful woman who had come to Yuki's class to meet Natsume.

"I'm the head of the band club, we'd like to ask you a favor." Said one of the men there straight to the point.

"Our club is in danger of being disbanded if no new members join today." Yuki raised one eyebrow.

"We're asking you to be the second vocalist." Continue the chairman.

"I can't." Sobot Yuki's.

"One song please." Said the beautiful woman holding her palms together, Yuki noticed that she turned her body away.

"Keep away." Said Yuki staring at Natsume's bead, the girl blocking his way.

"Ne Yu chan, onegai (Hei Yu, please), I know you can. The tone and basic key of the song you saw yesterday was complicated and difficult but, you understand it. Yu chan for this time please help us." Pinta Natsume bows.

"Onegayschimasu! (Please help!)." The three people behind Yuki also lowered their head in making the girl feel uncomfortable.

"All right." Yuki replied, Natsume who was feeling very happy jumped hugging Yuki.

"Arigatou, I'll make you another strawberry mochi." Natsume said girang.

"Hi' wakatta, hanashite (Yes I understand, let go)." Natsume took off his embrace.

"Ano, San Hachibara. Introduce." The beautiful woman said, attracting Yuki's attention.

"I'm Nakamura Oki." Say that beautiful woman.

"Kichida, greetings." Speak of a man of about one hundred and seventy-eight height.

"Abe Satoru, greetings yes." Shorter man, five inches above Yuki, he is the head of the band club.

"Yo. Our natsume chan, has worked hard." Praise Kichida.

"It's very hard to kidnap senpai." Reply Natsume.

"All right, let's practice before we start." Take Abe.

"We can only use the first hour of rest." Nakamura.

"We also need to check Hachibara chan's voice." Kichida.

"Isn't the song the same as yesterday?." Yuki asked looking at Natsume.

"Purpose, same." Answer Natsume.

"We'll just start right away I want to finish quickly." Yuki's words made the club members throw eyes at each other.

"The tone is very high Hachibara san." Nakamura said hesitantly.

"Yes, I know." Answer Yuki briefly.

Nakamura looked at Natsume asking for an explanation that was answered with a big smile by the master.

"All right, let's start." Abe, as the club chairman, smiled softly.

In the middle of the page that can be seen from anywhere, there is a neatly arranged band equipment. Kichida took his drumsticks to position himself, Nakamura draped an electric guitar strap around his neck, Natsume stood behind the piano, and Abe draped the bass strap and confirmed the microphone's location.

"Hachibara here I help." Abe said his hand moved deftly confirming the location of Yuki's microphone adjusted to the girl's height.

"Thank you." Yuki said with a warm smile from the chairman.

"Oki, is it on?." Ask Abe.

"Ok, it's ready." Answer Nakamura.

"Good afternoon, we of the band club will present an energizing and touching song, begging the students to stop your activities and listen to our song." A very loud sound sent the opening of the chairman to the corner of the school.

Yuki still remembers the lyrics and every note in the song. Fast beat up songs with high notes typical of j-pop.

Some children who were around the middle yard glanced at the small group who were getting ready to do something, not a few who ignored the group felt disinterested.

The chairman gave a countdown to start. Starting from Natsume with a slow intro piano melody and suddenly followed by a loud drum beat and fast guitar and bass passages simultaneously jerking against the air.

Yuki's heart was beating hard following the drum beat, his hair was goosebumps because of the sound of a very fast guitar passage. The buzz from the band members gathered the audience who were now swarming around them.

Abe as the lead vocalist opened his voice accompanied by Kachida as backing vocals. Yuki was a little surprised by Abe's voice that sounded right at once in his ears.

Yuki's part was about to come he brought his lips closer to the microphone. The four members of the club glanced at Yuki hopefully worried because they had never practiced with the blue-eyed girl what else the girl had never heard the melody of the song.

What about his voice?, can he do it?, what if not, done already. Inner Kichida, Nakamura, and Abe.

Yu chan I believe my decision will not be wrong, you can definitely!, Natsume exclaimed inwardly.

The melody of Yuki's part is played, the high notes coming out of Yuki's throat startling every pair of ears and the most shocked are the members of the band's own club.

They smiled with satisfaction. Yuki's voice is like magic dragging them into the song making the song come alive. The spirit of the members of the club overflows they are increasingly eager to play their respective musical instruments.

Without the five people realizing it, many people gathered outside the building and every floor hallway watching from the window glass were swept into their music.

What is this feeling?, my skin seemed to be able to feel every melody coming out of each musical instrument, Abe san's voice was also clearly heard in the ear, my heart responded to the thumping like never before. I can feel the beauty of the music, inner Yuki smiled slightly.

Yuki took a very high tone making the spectators cheer boisterously, feeling goosebumps all over their bodies. Nakamura does his guitar solo, the girl is very good as a rock & roll guitarist.

The music continues to thrill the oukami koukou (wolf sma) until a loud bang from the drum ends the song. Applause was heard everywhere, the screams of the audience calling out the names of the band players made them impromptu artists.

"Echem!." Dehaman Abe has been harassing the audience. They stopped screaming and focused on him.

"Thank you for your attention. Are you enjoying our show?!." Abe exclaimed with eagerness answered the roar of the audience cheers.

"There are still a lot of songs we have, would you be the one to play them?." Abe began promoting his club.

Yuki took advantage of the opportunity to get away from there!.

"Eits, where's Hachibara san going?." Nakamura asked who caught Yuki's arm.

"Again! Some more! Again!." The audience screams.

"Do not hurry, do you hear their screams?." Nakamura glanced at the audience, revealing his bright smile. Yuki started thinking.

"Yu chan look." Suddenly Natsume was standing in front of Yuki showing a paper containing the notes of another beam.

"I made it last night. Yu chan." Natsume stared in Yuki's blue bead.

"I want you to sing it." Yuki returned Natsume's gaze that was very hopeful to her, Yuki remembered Natsume's words yesterday.

I can't sing anymore.

"This is the last." Yuki's words are broken by Natsume. Natsume and the others smiled widely.

"Ung, the last one." Yuki asked the song paper to start reading it.

Yuki's brain quickly works on memorizing lyrics and song notes.

"This song is faster than it was." Yuki.

"To be precise, you are indeed great Hachibara san. This morning we were also surprised while practicing with that song." Chirpe Nakamura.

"Isn't he a genius." Natsume is proud.

"No." Sobot Yuki's.

"Yu Chan only needed to see it once." Lajut Natsume smiled with one hand he put on his waist.

"Why are you the arrogant Natsume chan." Nakamura.

"Yu chan dakara (Because he's Yu chan)." Natsume patted Yuki's shoulder gently while the master rolled his eyeballs.

"Let's make a spectacular closure." Natsume and Nakamura were surprised by what the blue-eyed girl said, they looked at her in disbelief. Abe who listened to the conversation of the girls smiled gently.

"Ekhem! as a closing act, we're going to give you an amazing song!." Abe said that got a very excited response.

They are ready for their respective positions. The second song is only sung by one vocalist with many high notes and super fast lyrics, a loud, fast and epic melody, perfect for burning the spirit.

Strange, am I excited now? hazuki's song gives me goosebumps when I read it. I will make your song echo all the way to the school and crush the ears of those who hear it because of the beauty of your song, Hazuki, the inner Yuki.

Yuki, the girl picked up the guitar lying near the piano, draped it.

"Yu chan?." Lirih Natsume was stunned.

"We destroyed this school with your song, Hazuki." Yuki smiled sincerely.

"Arigato." Natsume said so softly that no one could hear him.

Yuki checked the electric guitar hanging from her body.

Heeh .?, she can also play guitar, inner Kichida, Nakamura, and Abe. Yuki nodded to Abe a sign that the girl was ready.

"Minna san (Everything). Are you ready ...!." Abe shouted followed by cheers of the audience.

Yuki looked up to look at the blue sky above them. The sky was not overcast anymore, in contrast to the sky that I had always seen, was this the same sky?, Yuki's inner eyes descended slowly and collided with the pair of eyes on the fourth floor.
