Hikaru's small figure giddily presented herself up front, "Um, I am this club's president and I just got permission to re-establish the music club again last week." The ravenette's smile widened as the rest of the students followed her inside the small space of the Music Room. Hikaru had been restless, trying to think of what starting activity to give the new members, and with Kei's nonchalant advice earlier, she finally decided on one.

Hikaru turned to face the first-year students who all had bright expressions painted on their face, "My name's Izayoi Hikaru, 2nd year in College Prep Class. Talking in front of you lots is a first for me, and so I would like to each of your names" she said, signaling the new members to introduce themselves.

The first one to go is a slightly taller girl with black hair tied into a ponytail, "Mizusawa Miyuri, 1st Year Class 1-2, pleased to meet you Izayoi-san. Please call me Miyuri or Mii-chan" Miyuri finished and flashed a meek yet warm smile at her senior.

Next is the boy with blonde hair parted in the middle, looking more of a prince than a high schooler with his looks and aura, "Yuichi Yuta, 1st Year Class 1-2 in the same class as Mii-chan here. Please take care of us Izayoi-san." He beamed, "Oh, and please call me Yuta too, I really won't mind getting addressed by my first name. Especially by a cute girl like yo—OW!"

Hikaru stifled a laugh, seeing such a funny scene where Yuta got smacked on the head by Miyuri, because he was being too flirty. Judging from how Yuta just laughed at the very irritated Miyuri, it was an obvious fact for the ravenette that the two were close friends.

"I apologize for his words Izayoi-san, I'll discipline him" Miyuri curtly apologized, feeling embarrassed of her own friend's actions.

Yuta bursted out in a fit, "Why are you saying that as if I'm a pet?!" He hysterically questions his female friend.

The ravenette chuckled, "You two seem like very fun people to spend time with. Let's have fun in our club, okay?" It was out of her own comfort zone to encourage other people's relationship with her, it wasn't like her but then she remembered what she learned as she spent time with the blonde.

Her passion would be one of the reasons she can actually meet some new acquaintances and be friends with those people. And her, being exposed to his salty nature, made her more confident in her words and replies regardless of who she talks to. A smile slowly crept on Hikaru's face, rooting for the blonde who's currently practicing with the team.

After a few more minutes, the others were able to introduce themselves and were getting along well. Yuta, Miyuri, Yoru, and Fuyumi are all first years. Fuyumi being a boy and Yoru being a girl, were childhood best friends much like Yuta and Miyuri but grew up in Tokyo. Fuyumi had short snow-white hair with fringes covering most of his eyes, and Yoru had jet black hair reaching down to her waist. Laughter and smiles filled the whole room and Hikaru decided to pair them all up for practice.

"So let's do one activity for our welcoming day, is it alright, minna?" Hikaru asked hesitantly as the laughter died off one by one. Each of the new club members nodded at her with a pleasant smile on their faces, completely delighted by how their first day and first time with the club is going.

The ravenette had been preparing for this day for a whole month or so and finally she's going to do her plans for the club one by one. She even stayed up late for lots of nights trying to think of a fun activity for the newcomers to enjoy.

Of course, with the help of her beloved master, Hikaru had thought of several things. The first is that their activity would be a, "We're doing a double recital. Each of us will pair with one another and the other pairs would pick a piece for us to sing or play." The ravenette proclaimed, eyes glimmering in the excitement of how the whole activity would turn out.

"A recital?" Miyuri beamed, face filled with glee.

After a few more hours into the meeting, Hikaru decided to just play a solo act as the music director as it appears that she won't be able to share a piece with another member. As the newly formed club finished cleaning and organizing their respective tables and lockers inside the clubroom, Hikaru received a message from her beloved master.

From: Kei

To: Busu

Subject: Hurry up, busu

I'll wait outside the gymnasium, the two idiots are on cleaning duty and I'm staying behind to watch them. Hurry up and come here, Hikaru.

A blush and a smile made it cutely on the ravenette's face as she tucked a few strands of sweaty stray hair into the back of her ear. She finds it extremely sweet whenever the stingy blonde goes out of his to call her by her name.

In more ways than one, she can actually tell that she's definitely got a permanent spot in her former master's heart and of course his life. The beam on her face attracted the new members.

"What's with that shy smile there, Hikaru-san?" Yuta jokingly nudged her and even addressed her by her first name proving that he's already comfortable around her.

Soon enough Miyuri joined with a smug smirk on her face, "She probably received a romantic message from someone." the younger girl faded and even gave her a sly look, "Maybe a boyfriend?"

HIkaru's already blushing cheeks burned up even more as she hid her phone back in her skirt pockets, "Y-You're misunderstanding it! He's not my boyfriend....." Hikaru paused and took a deep breath, ".....yet"

All her juniors cheered and continued to tease her until Fuyumi came forward to ask, "But you like each other, right, Izayoi-san?" she expectantly tilted her head to the side.

The ravenette nodded and another question came launching at her, this time from Yoru, "Then why isn't he asking you yet? Or why aren't you asking him out yet?"

Cat got her tongue. Hikaru found no will to answer in her heart or mind that surprising question. "U-Um--" her small struggle to get out of the tight spot was halted when the clubroom door opened.

"Is the application still open?" A tall figure came in with dark blue locks and a friendly smile on his lips. His eyes immediately landed on the raven-haired girl, handing her his supposedly filled-out application form. "From what I heard, you still don't have a partner for this yet right, Izayoi....Hikaru-chan?"

Yoru and Yuta scoffed at the flirty behavior displayed by the newcomer as he twirled the ends of their club president's hair in his fingers. The two female first years cheered on the side as Hikaru nonchalantly flicked his hand off and backed a few steps from the stranger.

"Yes. You heard right." she replied, "It would be nicer if you'd introduce yourself first."

"Let's do that on the way out, now come with me" He grabbed Hikaru's hand firmly and continued to pull her with him out the clubroom. It wasn't a few steps out when he bumped into a taller figure.

The wrist of the girl he held was swiftly taken, along with a shove, "Why the hell are you holding her?"

Hikaru looked up at the sight of Kei, his brows furrowed and with one of his arms wrapped around her waist tightly. It was an awkward moment but, Hikaru couldn't help but feel giddy inside.
