Chapter 5 - "Me and you; and it means us!"
Nino made his way down to Shibuya, for meeting the others. He was somehow find himself taking train for Shibuya after his work is done. It was strange for him. He was the type of person who wants to head home as soon as possible. But now, he was walking and looking around the Shibuya. He was never fond of Shibuya or Shinjuku or Harajuku. But he was quiet accustomed to Akihabaha. He may not seem like an otaku but he was quiet a gamer. Okay maybe he can acknowledge that he is really close to being addict. He laughed himself as his feet led him to old studio of Haru.
It wasn't exactly night and the sun started to going down just as he faced the old building. The place had quiet impact in daylight. It was kind of a miracle that the building is still standing. First floor was the studio, he knew that but even the windows of first floor was shut tightly with woods. There wasn't a single light coming out of the building. "Why the hell are we meeting this creepy place?" he asked himself as he sighed. He dragged his feet in to the building. A fast melody played with a guitar greeted him. He stopped for a moment shivering because of the sound. It was so intense and it sounded so well arranged without the other instruments. The guitar was swallowing all the other melodies inside. There was no sense of discomfort inside the melody. He moved inside as he saw Haru, playing her guitar. She was playing a black Fender Stratocaster designed with a lot of colorful patterns on it. He tried to remember her acoustic guitar back then when he first saw her. He didn't really remembered her guitar from that time so he thought it was nothing special at all. Looking at her face was shocking for him. She was wearing an expression filled with full enjoyment. How can anyone enjoy playing this much? he asked himself as he watched her with a fascinated gaze. She then, surprised him again starting to singing intensely while the melody turned into a song.
Yes, the shadeflame
that hid the colorless now.
He knew that she was talented with both singing and playing but it was kinda beyond his expectations. But he was more surprised then the melody turned more intense.
Since my wishes came true,
let's celebrate here on out.
Even at the best of times it is terrible,
since this world has an underside, y'know.
Yesterday's love
is my enemy starting today.
Say I was told, "It's great",
and it can't be helped.
His eyes opened wide as he listened the lyrics. They were intense, somehow cruel and not caring. He was surprised hearing a song like this from her. He can't really say that he knew everything about her since it has only been one day but this wasn't his image about her. Her image was like sun. Bright, full of life, loving and caring. So why does she was singing this distanced song?
Being betrayed by what I saw with those eyes,
I choose to forget and run away each time.
The way it is, I'm within the shadows.
If it's now, then I'm still in time for it.
It's awful being hated.
If I can lose something and grow strong,
I'll give this left hand of mine.
I have no more emotions, now.
I have made
my indefinite heart ambiguous.
Yes, the shadeflame
that hid the colorless now.
Nino gazed at her profile. She looked like she wasn't putting a lot effort to playing but she also looked like the song was hurting her. Nino frowned. Why does she had that look on her face? Though he still couldn't stop but admiring her. Her voice never trembled even when she was singing with full power and her fingers were so fluid on the strings. It was strange she wasn't even reading a score or lyrics. It was a pure talent where no one had around him. He felt a little jealosy burned inside of him but he knew that he would never going to be able to play like that, no matter how hard he practiced.
Since the world changed,
let's be together like this.
Even at the best times,
outside people are dying of the fashionable illness.
Yesterday's enemy
is my very self starting today.
Say I searched for the meaning I live for,
and it can't be helped.
I betray even what I saw with those eyes,
Sighing with it remaining in my chest each time.
The way it is, it's time for
The shadeflame to burn everything down.
I exchange one regretful blow.
The lyrics were getting more bothering to him. He couldn't name the feeling inside of him. It was a little curiosity but also a disquietude and a little discomfort. Did the other ever listened this? More like, did they even know about her more than him? His gaze trailed over between her guitar and her face. Eventhough she was singing this kind of eerie song her face was still lit up with a smile.
I haven't lost anything, now. Even so,
I'll give this right hand of mine.
I have already thrown away my sentiment.
I have made my
indefinite pulsation ambiguous.
Yes, hide my colorless past too,
shadeflame.
Nino continued to observe her expression as a intense solo part came in for guitar. The smile covering her lips were spread to her eyes. He knew that deep inside, that her smile wasn't fake. But that was the creepy one. Song and her expression didn't mach at all. Then he gave up from thinking. Why the hell he was even thinking this hard? Probably she just found the song somewhere and she tried to arrange it. Other members said that she wrote songs for the band but they nevger mentioned she was writing every song that she sang. Though that would be awesome. He tried to let it go but deep inside of him, he was curious about her.
Being betrayed by what I saw with those eyes,
I choose to forget and run away each time.
There's still a little time left until
The shadeflame burns it down.
I launch one regretful blow.
If I can lose something and grow strong,
I'll give this life of mine.
I have no more emotions, now.
I have made my
indefinite heart ambiguous.
From the things I realized I'd lost,
I'll give everything of mine.
I have already thrown away my sentiment.
I have made my
indefinite pulsation ambiguous.
Yes, hide my colorless past too,
shadeflame.
As the lyrics ended and her hands stopped their moving, Haru took a deep breath. Nino coughed a little to be able to make himself visible for her. Her eyes didn't looked Nino this time exept she stood up and pulled her guitar's plug from the amph. "I knew it was you," she said as she giggled a little.
"How do you? You didn't even looked at me," Nino said irritated to her answer. Didn't she even know a proper way to greet him?
"Well I do know that only you and the other four will come here, and there's only one idiot in the group so how can I mistaken you with someone?" She smirked looking at him.
Nino narrowed his eyes. "Look which idiot is talking," he said sarcastically.
"Idiot," Haru said as she stick out her tounge to him.
"Music freak," Nino said irritatedly.
"I am good with being music freak. Its better than being an idiot," she said sarcastically.
"So at least you accept the fact that you are a freak," Nino said shrankly as he made his way to sit the old blue sofa.
"Only if you admit you're an idiot."
"Only in your dream," Nino said as he take out his Nintendo DS from his bag and started to play from where he left.
Then Haru ran towards him jumping to his side peeking to his DS. "Oooh!! You are playing games! I like you more, man!" Nino pushed her head aside.
"Stop it, I can't see the screen!" Haru giggled but Nino didn't looked to her except he continued to play while speaking. "Do you also play games?"
"Yup~! Though I don't own a latest model DS like you but I won't let you win in game center~" She said happily.
"Game centers and DSs are different you know," Nino eyed her for a second then turned to his game again.
"Well I don't have money to buy a DS but I have a friend that lets me play for free in the game center. Aren't I luck~?" She spoke merrily.
"Isn't that just using your friend?"
"You are rude-!" She spoke as she pinched Nino's cheek. "I am not using anyone at all, they just let me use it that's all!"
"Are you sure about it? Because I can't really believe it since you dragged me here forcefully," Nino said sharply as he eyed her again. "Maybe they are just fed up with you and letting you use the center for the exchange of not dealing with you?"
This time Haru laughed like she was watching something fun. "Not at all. I am just good at making friends. Are you perhaps jealous since you don't have any friends?" Then she patted Nino's head after she ruffled Nino's hair.
"How can I be jealous of someone who is this troublesome?" Nino pushed her hand again but she was now touching his arm. "Can you stop it?!" He snapped as he moved a little away from her.
"Do you dislike being touched?" Haru asked with a little surprise.
"I don't but I don't like being touched by you, especially when I am trying to concentrate my game," he said irritatedly again.
"You have a bad temper~" Haru giggled again as she stood up from the sofa and headed to instruments. "But stop it and come here for a moment," she called out to him.
Nino sighed enough for Haru to hear it. He paused his game and left his DS on sofa as he made his way to her. "What now?!"
Haru laughed as she handed her a guitar case. "Well I couldn't hand it to you yesterday so," she pointed the case. "This is yours." She said proudly.
Nino started open the case suspiciously.As he opened the case, he found a black guitar in it. And what made him more surprised is, it wasn't just any guitar. It was a black Gibson. "How..?" He asked fascinated by it. He knew they were crazy expensive. "Did you robbed somewhere?" He asked suddenly.
"Eh? Why?" Haru looked at him innocently.
"This is crazy expensive you know?! And as long as I see you are not rich. And how come you have this guitar when you don't have any money to buy a DS?!"
"You are asking too many questions. Well, I have my own ways so don't worry. I didn't robbed anywhere and it wasn't that expensive either. Trust me," Haru laughed a little. "Will you try it?"
"Though I don't even remember how to play guitar," Nino said as he sit down on a stool placing the guitar to his knee eager to play it. "I haven't touched a guitar for at least 10 years."
"Don't worry, you are going to be able to play it without a problem," something in Haru's voice made him look at her. "You may left music but Muse never leaves the people he chose."
Nino laughed a little. "What the hell is that?" He still had no belief in that Muse thing.Nino put his hands onto the strings. It felt so nostalgic. It felt so long, but also relaxing. As he moved his fingers he started to play a nostalgic melody. Guitar was amazing. Its voice was so fluid and clear. He smiled without thining. The melody was so simple, it was the first song that he played when he formed a band in high school. Before everybody went their own way they were only able to perform in one school festival. Nino laughed a little. Forming a band on a whim, what a childish thing to do... But he couldn't bring himself to hate it, since he loved playing guitar at that time. And to his surprise, he realized that he still liked it.
"See? Muse never leaves you alone," Haru said softly looking at him with a pure joy. Nino didn't answered to her but he didn't opposed to it either. Then Haru sat in front of him, placing her guitar to her knee and starting to accompany his melody. Haru felt relieved as Nino's smile grew bigger. They played a while together until Matsumoto Jun walked inside.
"I see you are not wasting any time," he said teasingly, leaving his fashionable bag and the big plastic bag to the old sofa and taking his sunglasses off. He was cool. What kind of man can wear that jacket and still look cool otherwise?
"Jun-kun! Just on time~" Haru giggled as she stopped playing. "I told you he knew how to play the guitar didn't I?"
"Yes, yes. You were right," he gave up with a little smile. "By the way I bumped in Aiba-san and the Captain, they were buying food. Ah and I got a call from Sho-san too, he said he will bring some sushi to eat."
"Okke~" Haru spoke merrily. "I brought some deserts too!"
Nino looked confused. "Is something happening?"
"Aah~ Its nothing really, don't worry~" Haru trailed off the conversation as Aiba and Ohno-san came in.
"Oooh MatsuJun~ You are cold, why don't you help us carry?" Aiba whined as he left the bags to the floor.
"You have someone to help so why do I have to carry it?" MatsuJun grinned to them. Just as Sho also came in.
"Yo guys!!" He was carrying a big box. "I got sushi! And they are damn delicous!" He looked like he was holding himself hard as he put the box to the small table.
"Here's the deserts!" Haru declared as she put her box to the table near the sushi.
"Wait a minute!!" Nino shouted to got some attention. "What's going on here?!"
"We're having a welcome party," Ohno said calmly.
"For who?" MatsuJun grinned to Nino as he made his way to him and placed his hands to Nino's shoulder leading him to small table. "For you of course."
***
"They are all completely knocked up..." said Nino with a huge disbelief on his voice. Haru, who was sitting near him, giggled with amusement. Nino looked at her, she was still drinking.
"Let them be, they are relieved because of you~"
"You know this should be my welcome party, why are they the relieved ones," Nino rolled his eyes. "And how come you are alright with that much of drink?"
Haru made a gesture of thumbs up. "I am pretty strong with alcohol." Even though she was saying this, she also started to feel a little light headed. "They are relieved because you came," she said as she leaned forward placing his left arm to small sofa and rested her chin against her hand. "I refused to join the the contest without you and they were kinda feeling anxious about me not being able to find you."
"What do you mean by that? What if I rejected you? Then all of their work was going to be wasted. Can't you be a little responsible?!" Nino felt so irritated to her attitude. He was already feeling friendly and somehow protective to the other four and he was so pissed off to Haru for being this irresponsible. But instead of feeling guilty, he heard Haru's laugh.
"Nope I don't feel any guilt, because I knew I was gonna find you and I knew you will agree," Then she eyed him with a smirk on her face. "You know you are not as tough as Jun-kun or you are not really stoic as Sho-chan and its not really that hard to read you as Oh-chan."
Nino felt his anger growing inside of him more. What the hell was wrong with this girl?
"And now you are thinking 'what the hell is wrong with me, right?" She said as she mimicked him. Then laughed merrily. "Nothing is wrong with me actually. Its just I hear more than you do."
"Is that the Muse thing again?" Nino snapped. "Do you really expect me to believe in that? And you know what, it sounds like you are just a member of some third-rate cult," Nino said bluntly as he smirked with despise.
But Haru laughed that too. "Think what you want. No one has ever believed in me anyway~" Her laugh sounded so broken for a moment, making him feel like a shit. He didn't meant to call her as liar but it didn't sounded so logical to him at all. An awkward silence fell between two of them. "Ha- Shimizu-san," he started but he was cut off.
"Call me Haru. Or baka, or music freak. Whatever you want as long as its not Shimizu," She said calmly, opening another bottle and taking a sip. He was about to ask her the reason but he felt a great weigh on his shoulder, turning his head, he saw Aiba with somehow flushed expression.
"Heey~ You never waste time flirting with our Haru~" said the drunken male. Nino's face burned with the sudden claim.
"Wha-?! I am not flirting with anyo-" his words were interrupted with MatsuJun's angry voice.
"Who is flirting with Haru?!?! I won't accept it!!"
"MatsuJun sounds like Haru's papa~" Ohno said merrily His cheeks were red because of the alcohol and he was hiccuping.
"You should share her with us!!" Sho declared, his face was also red. Nino sighed and Haru laughed so hard.
Soon other four went into a deep sleep around 3 am. Ohno was snoring so loud but no one woke up. Haru brought some blankets for them and Nino eventually decided not to go home since he didn't go there with his car and he missed the last train. Haru gave him a blanket too. "Its a surprise," he said. For the first time she looked like she is a reliable person.
"What did you expected? I am perfectly capable about looking after myself for a long time~" She giggled again as she also crawled next to the others with a blanket too. "Good night, Nino," she smiled before closing her eyes. Nino blinked in surprise. Her voice was so kind and bland. Nino thought it was the effect of alcohol but he couldn't help his smile.
"Good night... Haru."
A/N: The song that Haru sang up there is named as "Kagerou≒Variation" There's some covers for it as well as the original vocaloid version but if you want me to recommend one, I should say Hanatan cover was the best for me °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° And I should just mention that I don't really have a knowledge about guitars so I just used the black Gibson guitar back then Nino got from the Alfee 2012 24TV. And if there's a mistake about the guitars or things like this please let me know! Onegaishimasu!

"Though I don't even remember how to play guitar," Nino said as he sit down on a stool placing the guitar to his knee eager to play it. "I haven't touched a guitar for at least 10 years."

"Jun-kun! Just on time~" Haru giggled as she stopped playing. "I told you he knew how to play the guitar didn't I?"
"Yes, yes. You were right," he gave up with a little smile. "By the way I bumped in Aiba-san and the Captain, they were buying food. Ah and I got a call from Sho-san too, he said he will bring some sushi to eat."
"Okke~" Haru spoke merrily. "I brought some deserts too!"
Nino looked confused. "Is something happening?"
"Aah~ Its nothing really, don't worry~" Haru trailed off the conversation as Aiba and Ohno-san came in.
"Oooh MatsuJun~ You are cold, why don't you help us carry?" Aiba whined as he left the bags to the floor.
"You have someone to help so why do I have to carry it?" MatsuJun grinned to them. Just as Sho also came in.
"Yo guys!!" He was carrying a big box. "I got sushi! And they are damn delicous!" He looked like he was holding himself hard as he put the box to the small table.
"Here's the deserts!" Haru declared as she put her box to the table near the sushi.
"Wait a minute!!" Nino shouted to got some attention. "What's going on here?!"
"We're having a welcome party," Ohno said calmly.
"For who?" MatsuJun grinned to Nino as he made his way to him and placed his hands to Nino's shoulder leading him to small table. "For you of course."

"They are all completely knocked up..." said Nino with a huge disbelief on his voice. Haru, who was sitting near him, giggled with amusement. Nino looked at her, she was still drinking.
"Let them be, they are relieved because of you~"
"You know this should be my welcome party, why are they the relieved ones," Nino rolled his eyes. "And how come you are alright with that much of drink?"
Haru made a gesture of thumbs up. "I am pretty strong with alcohol." Even though she was saying this, she also started to feel a little light headed. "They are relieved because you came," she said as she leaned forward placing his left arm to small sofa and rested her chin against her hand. "I refused to join the the contest without you and they were kinda feeling anxious about me not being able to find you."
"What do you mean by that? What if I rejected you? Then all of their work was going to be wasted. Can't you be a little responsible?!" Nino felt so irritated to her attitude. He was already feeling friendly and somehow protective to the other four and he was so pissed off to Haru for being this irresponsible. But instead of feeling guilty, he heard Haru's laugh.
"Nope I don't feel any guilt, because I knew I was gonna find you and I knew you will agree," Then she eyed him with a smirk on her face. "You know you are not as tough as Jun-kun or you are not really stoic as Sho-chan and its not really that hard to read you as Oh-chan."
Nino felt his anger growing inside of him more. What the hell was wrong with this girl?
"And now you are thinking 'what the hell is wrong with me, right?" She said as she mimicked him. Then laughed merrily. "Nothing is wrong with me actually. Its just I hear more than you do."
"Is that the Muse thing again?" Nino snapped. "Do you really expect me to believe in that? And you know what, it sounds like you are just a member of some third-rate cult," Nino said bluntly as he smirked with despise.
But Haru laughed that too. "Think what you want. No one has ever believed in me anyway~" Her laugh sounded so broken for a moment, making him feel like a shit. He didn't meant to call her as liar but it didn't sounded so logical to him at all. An awkward silence fell between two of them. "Ha- Shimizu-san," he started but he was cut off.
"Call me Haru. Or baka, or music freak. Whatever you want as long as its not Shimizu," She said calmly, opening another bottle and taking a sip. He was about to ask her the reason but he felt a great weigh on his shoulder, turning his head, he saw Aiba with somehow flushed expression.
"Heey~ You never waste time flirting with our Haru~" said the drunken male. Nino's face burned with the sudden claim.
"Wha-?! I am not flirting with anyo-" his words were interrupted with MatsuJun's angry voice.
"Who is flirting with Haru?!?! I won't accept it!!"
"MatsuJun sounds like Haru's papa~" Ohno said merrily His cheeks were red because of the alcohol and he was hiccuping.
"You should share her with us!!" Sho declared, his face was also red. Nino sighed and Haru laughed so hard.
Soon other four went into a deep sleep around 3 am. Ohno was snoring so loud but no one woke up. Haru brought some blankets for them and Nino eventually decided not to go home since he didn't go there with his car and he missed the last train. Haru gave him a blanket too. "Its a surprise," he said. For the first time she looked like she is a reliable person.
"What did you expected? I am perfectly capable about looking after myself for a long time~" She giggled again as she also crawled next to the others with a blanket too. "Good night, Nino," she smiled before closing her eyes. Nino blinked in surprise. Her voice was so kind and bland. Nino thought it was the effect of alcohol but he couldn't help his smile.
"Good night... Haru."
A/N: The song that Haru sang up there is named as "Kagerou≒Variation" There's some covers for it as well as the original vocaloid version but if you want me to recommend one, I should say Hanatan cover was the best for me °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° And I should just mention that I don't really have a knowledge about guitars so I just used the black Gibson guitar back then Nino got from the Alfee 2012 24TV. And if there's a mistake about the guitars or things like this please let me know! Onegaishimasu!
