Chapter 7 - Your voice
Nino felt tired when they finally sit down. He looked around with an amazed gaze. This was the first time seeing a proper music studio. He was fascinated by all kinds of equipments.
A man who looked like in his 60's, probably the director, came inside with his hands full of score papers. "Oh, so you are the Shimizu-san's friends?" He didn't seemed interested in them. He just took a glance and turned his head to other side of studio. He pushed a button to make his voice hearable from the other side. "Shimizu-san, I assume you had the songs with you so I want you to move quickly. You know what to do," He didn't even waited Haru's answer and sat back to his chair.
"Hey, isn't he kinda rude?" Aiba whispered to Nino. Nino nodded slowly as he looked to Haru. She was still smiling, though this time her smile didn't seemed bright like always. Nino frowned a little as she started to set her guitar to amp.
"Shimizu-san what are you doing?" Director stopped her just before she could plug her guitar. "We have talked this many times. You are not allowed to play your guitar here, please took one of our guitars."
Haru's hands stopped for a moment. She laughed like she always do. "Sorry~ I forgot it~" Nino's frown deepened as she put her stratocaster back to its case again and took another guitar from the back. She set it quickly again then she started to play fastly.
"What's this?!" MatsuJun hissed under his breath only for them to hear. Nino felt MatsuJun's anger building as he also felt his anger too. Why? he thought. There's actually something really wrong here but he couldn't name it well. Maybe it was because of Haru's smile clouded or maybe it was because of the director's harsh behaviors. He looked once again to Haru as she started to play the parts swiftly. Director listened her giving some nods. He didn't interrupted Haru and Haru haven't stopped unless she needed to change the papers. Nino observed her closely. He had already saw her playing and singing for a couple of times but this was different. Haru had a expression of indifference on her face this time. She was playing without really enjoying it. Notes were correct, they were perfect though Nino didn't liked the sound. The sound was devoid of soul. It had a perfect melody but it didn't shine like Haru's normal melodies. Though director seemed satisfied with it. He continued to listen it as she switched songs one after another for an hour. She played like 15 songs but none of them effected Nino actually and he felt quiet bored.
Then the door opened suddenly and his co-worker, Araya Makiko, came inside. "Hey, papa, I came to see you~!" she singed just as her eyes found Nino inside the room. "Eh? Ninomiya-senpai?" She seemed surprised. Nino greeted her with a troubled expression.
Director, turned his head to his daughter. "Makiko? You know him?"
"Ah he is my senpai from the company..." She explained. "But, why are you here Ninomiya-senpai?"
"Ah... um..." Nino tried to explain but he couldn't find the exact words. And what would he say? Hey, I am forced to form a band and I am stalking the girl who forced me but hey your father is so rude to her, yeah, this was definitely impossible.
"It seemes they are friends with Shimizu-san. You remember her? The one that records your brother's guitar parts," he explained calmly.
Makiko giggled a little. "Oh is that so? I never thought that girl would have this many handsome friends."
Nino frowned a little. Then he eyed Haru as she finished playing the parts of her and started tidying up the guitar that she used. "Well she is an idiot but she knows how to play guitar at least," director spoke without caring anyone there as he started to organize his papers. "Makiko, I am going to editing room." He told his daughter before leaving the room as Haru came inside.
"Okay~ I am done guys~" Haru spoke merrily as she hang her own guitar to her shoulder. She was smiling. Nino frowned a little trying to control his expression in front of Araya.
Then Araya surprised him as she put her hands to Haru's shoulders. "It was Shimizu, isn't it? Do your best okay? You are still young so you can definitely make it into a band one day if you keep working hard."
Haru looked at her dumbfounded for a moment. But her eyes become serious quickly. "Wha-?" she tried to ask calmly.
Araya Makiko stopped her quickly and continued talking. "Oh I know you are playing as a ghost player here so that my dad can sign you up to a band. What is that look? You don't have to be shy, I know everyone here wants to debut," her voice was full of proud. "We are the best recording studio after all!"
Haru sighed heavily as she looked coldly to Araya Makiko. "What's that," she said suddenly as she pushed her hand aside. It had been a long time since Haru felt angry towards someone. Though she managed to control her anger in a good way. "I have no desire to debut with someone or under your recording. So just keep that in your mind and leave me alone," she continued. Then she looked at the completely shocked five guys. "Guys I am going outside," she said with a sweet smile then turned to go outside. Other four followed her quickly leaving Nino alone with Araya.
"What's wrong with her?!" Araya hissed under his breath angrily. "Senpai you shouldn't hang out with her. She is just a ghost player in our studio. She would just use you for money and such!" She said quickly.
Nino tried his best to not laugh at this scene. "Sorry, Araya. She is a strange person, so forgive her rudeness. Well then I need to go now, see you monday," then he headed after them.
Makiko looked after him shocked. What the hell was that? Was she the reason that Ninomiya rejecting her invites? If so, Ninomiya had a really bad taste about women. She snorted. She was not going to lose a ghost player like her.

As expected, Haru and the others were waiting for him silently in front of the building. Nino could actually see the tension of Haru, from a miles away. He joined them quickly trying to keep his compose. But as if his presence was the only thing that she needed, her body relaxed suddenly. It was impossible after his eyes met with Haru's eyes. She started to laugh as Nino couldn't keep his laughter anymore, the other four also joined them. Some people eyed them but they couldn't hold themselves at all as their laughter echoed through the street.
"You are probably fired, you know?" Nino said as she wiped tears from his eyes.
"I know," Haru giggled. "But who cares? I hated them after all~"
"But you were awesome Haru~" MatsuJun patted her back strongly.
"'I have no desire to debut under your recording'" Aiba mimicked her and he continued to laugh.
"But that's true, I have no desire to make a debut," she told them suddenly becoming all serious.
"Eh? Really? Isn't it just about this recording place?" Ohno asked surprised.
"Yeah, why don't you? You are talented enough to debut and you are even better most of the musicians that I know," said Sho.
Haru sighed. Her eyes traced over the sky. How could she even explain this to them? Its not that it was a secret but she didn't think they will understand even if she explained. Then she made a quick decision. "Well then, I will show you something. You have to follow me until the end since you started it, okay?" She smiled a little as she started to walk again.
***
It was the middle of Shibuya and there were a huge crowd. It was just impossible to walk without bumping someone. Haru was walking smartly, avoiding everyone whose about to bump her, it was like dance, her steps had its own rhythm.
They followed her without saying anything. Nino knew everyone was feeling uncomfortable. They were trying to figure out what she was thinking, what she was trying to do. Everything made her more complicated in their eyes. And Nino couldn't help but feel the same. She was totally a mystery. Its getting impossible to solve it.
Just then she stopped, dropping her guitar from her back and opening its box. They were just in front of the Shinjuku station. Haru didn't said anyhing to them but just continued to set her guitar as she took out one little amp. It was a different kind of amp that she were using in the old studio. It was small and was more like a speaker. She set her guitar to it and turned the switch on.
She was facing with them. Looking at their eyes one by one, she wanted her wish for this life to reach them. She smiled finally, putting her fingers to the strings, and taking a deep breath, she prayed for her god. She knew he would listen even if everyone in this world rejects her music. She knew Muse would always be there for her, but for once, she wanted her music to reach the five men she loved, she counted as a family, from the bottom of her heart.
Her fingers started to move on strings, making her music ring through the air, praying for the lyrics to come her, she found a rhythm with her guitar which she thought as life. Haruka knew this unknown song will sing all her feelings like always. She was the kind of person who will be lost when she truly wanted to talk about herself. She always let others talk behalf of her, think behalf of her, decide behalf of her, until the day she couldn't withstand anymore as she left her own family, without looking back even for once. But now, she was trying to stand up for herself, wanting to be accepted by them, by him. Soon she was lost again in her own song as a big crowd started to forming around her.
Nino watched her closely, as her fingers started to move on strings fluently. He felt the wind forming around them, touching Nino's hairs then finding its way to Haru, making her hair fly back. The sweet hush of the wind seemed like cooperating with her sound. A ray of sunlight, showing between the tall and gloomy buildings illuminated her quietly. He didn't know what to expect but she didn't let him down as she started to sing.
At the scramble intersection that's like a repeat of yesterday
I looked at the overly blue sky; it'll be hidden if it rains
In this city full of all kinds of things, something feels off
I had a feeling I'd return that movie I rented without watching it
Hey, do you still remember me?
Hey, I still remember you
Nino smiled as a crowd started to forming around her little by little, making them a part of people around her. This was the Haru he knew from the very start. Her melody was shining once again, as she sing, a deep bright smile appeared her face. He felt relieved as the melody moved to chorus.
Your voice has always been here with me, though I've never heard it
It's not like I don't have anything that's important to me
Thinking that I wanted to go back; not being able to say that I want to go back
While pretending to be strong and missing you, I'm searching for tomorrow
He blinked a few times, looking curiously to Haru's face. Its like she is talking to me, he thought. As if, she wants me to understand her, accept her.
Laughing, you first told me "See you later" at the Chuo Line
I've realized that my practiced feet avoid crowds of people
Hey, how do you see me now?
Hey, I might not be able to meet you now
Staring blankly at the glow of the TV
The name I'd gotten used to seeing, with my phone in my hand
Without knowing what the person on the other end was thinking
I couldn't help but laugh
They were now surrounded with a huge crowd. It is the same, he thought. It was the same effect when Nino first saw her. People was gathering around her voice, like they were under a magic. They were like butterflies, gathered around the light. He didn't liked it but at the same time he liked it. It was running for death, but life was best when it nears to an end. He felt Ohno's hand on his shoulder as he took his eyes from Haru. Nino chuckled as he saw Ohno fully awake.
Your voice has always been here with me, though I've never heard it
"I get it"; "You're lying, right?"; you're giving me the run-around
But somehow I'm happy, so I'll surely wait for the morning
I'm expecting it to repeat today
I've always been here, and I still am now
Hesitation and loneliness are only natural
I wanted to say that I want to go back; I couldn't say that I want to go back
Though I'm pretending to be strong and missing you, I'll still walk on
Tomorrow I'll return that movie I didn't watch
As the last note ring through air, Nino crossed his arms looking finally satisfied. He couldn't understand her, no matter what. She was irresponsible, selfish and out of control; but she was shining brightly. Like the sun, or maybe even more bright. Nino smiled a little as he nodded a little. This is her stage, he thought. This stage suits Haru, the most.
The stage that world created only for her.
