In the middle of an empty stage, with no sight of a spectator to be found. A single piano in the white was presented, right under the spotlight of the stage.
"In this life, everyone is lonely. It just a matter how they cope with it."
A young boy with a hair with the shade of cyan slowly approached the piano, he sat down at the seat and cracked his knuckles, opened the key-board cover, he quietly started the first not of a melody. Inside his mind, he focused on nothing but the song itself, as if the whole world around him has stopped spinning.
"The only thing you needed to concentrate in is how to remain standing strong."
The melody went on. There are parts where it was as soothing as the night breeze, but there are parts where the song become more intense, like a raging storm in the sea. Even though there isn't seemed to be a single soul sitting down there, if anyone was watching his performance, they will find the it would be impossible to take their eyes off him. This is truly the performance of someone who was regarded as 'Best of Japan'. He gracefully brought the melody to its' stop.
"It's okay even if they don't understand you, or that you're lonely. Because you can only rely in yourself."
Letting out a quiet sigh of relief that his performance has just ended, the boy closed the cover of the piano. But then, the whole scenery around him turned into a complete whiteness, but still as lonely and isolated without a single soul to be found. Looking up, he could see that a woman with long, flowing blonde hair standing with her waist leaning against the piano, smiling gently to him. And next to him, a person just put their hand on his shoulder, he was a middle-aged man with black hair who was wearing a dark suit. They were no one, other than his mom and dad. They nodded to him, before disappearing to the light at the end of the road.
Outside, the sun of a new day was shining brilliantly, the bird was chirping innocently and the morning wind blows gently through the leaves on the trees. A truly beautiful day in the spring, when the whole world seemed to be brighter than ever, flourished with the blossoms and refreshment of the beginning of a whole new year. In this residential district, there are only big mansions built by those who had powers and money, but a mansion situated in the center of the district seemed to stood out the most.
As the light peaked into the big room through the thin curtain which hung over a large window, it slowly woken up the person who was sleeping innocently on the king-sized bed in the middle of the room. Sitting up with the blanket still covered from his waist down, Aoi quietly pondered over the dream that he has just had. In that dream, he was lonely as ever. But his parents were there. And all the words they've said to him. I wonder if how long has it been since then? He asked himself.
Remembering that it was his first day at high school today, Aoi stepped down the bed and neatly put the blanket and the cushion into their places. He doesn't like anyone stepping inside his own room, so he would rather to do the cleaning up around his room by himself than to let the maids to do it like his sisters. Not that it was a tiring job though because he always keep his room cleaned.
Making his way into the wardrobe which is comparable to that of a medium-sized room, Aoi picked out the uniform that was prepared for him and stepped into the bathroom. Taking a thorough shower, Aoi carefully washed every pinch of dust of his body and tenderly caressing his fingers through his hair with the shampoo. It isn't that he was flamboyant or something, but Aoi knows how to take care of himself to look clean and neat all the times. Drying himself up, Aoi brushes his teeth and ties his hair up. After putting the uniform on, he made his way downstairs to the dining room.
"Ohayo, nii-chan." Chiyoko turned and waved to Aoi with the brightest smile ever. It seemed that his sisters have already up before him. Smiling lightly to the short pink-haired girl, he nodded, "Uhm. Good morning, Chiyo-chan." He then turned to Kaori, who was reading the newspaper while sipping over a cup of frappuchino, like every morning, "Good morning, nee-san." He respectfully said to his elder sister and she replied with a nod.
Sat down at his seat, the maid brought his breakfast and served in front of him. The conversations between the three siblings then went on, though the one who spoke the most was Chiyoko, obviously. The three of them really make quite a trio of young siblings that can intimidated some of the successful adults out there. While Aoi himself was considered to be one of the best pianists in the whole country, Kaori is becoming more and more successful with her job of operating their family's company and the chains of boutiques and fashion shops she had opened brought had brought her enormous benefits and Chiyoko's awards and prizes for winning competitions in ballet and ice-skating are piling up, not to mention how much the famous magazines are dying just to hire her to be their model.
"So, today you two are going to attend high school. Remember that you must never do anything that spoils the honor of us Shimizu family. And must always perform your one hundred percent. Got it?" Kaori set her gaze to her siblings and said with a strict tone of voice, yet still emitted a delegate aura that of a powerful entrepreneur.
"Yes, nee-chan." Chiyoko winked to her sister.
"Of course, nee-san." Aoi nodded, his expression remained stoic as ever.
After breakfast, they carried their school bags and made their way to the limousine that took them to their new school - Miyagi North High. On the whole trip, Chiyoko couldn't be more excited. Apparently she couldn't wait for her new student life any longer. Aoi, on the other hand, didn't show any emotions like usual, but he's a bit looking forward to see how it would turn out.
As the car stopped right in front of the school gate, the driver opened the door and the two of them stepped down. Immediately, Aoi and Chiyoko gained the attentions of almost every student presented there. "Yo, Aoi-chan, Chiyo-chan." A red hair boy walked to them, "Hey there, Naoki-san." Chiyoko smiled brightly to him while Aoi nodded with a smile to his childhood friend, "Looks like you're doing fine, too."
"Why am I not? Come on, we'll totally steal the show today." Naoki winked as they stepped through the school gate. The whole crowd of students cheered for them. Boys fawning over Chiyoko's cuteness as she excitedly waved to them while girls screaming and swooning over Naoki and Aoi. Of course, Aoi didn't care about the love he was getting from them in the slightest, while Naoki outwardly flirted with the girls. It's no doubt that they're going to be the hottest issues in school from then on.
Aoi and Chiyoko made their ways to the backstage of the gymnasium, because they were specifically asked by the principal himself to perform in the Entrance Ceremony. This is just one of countless of stages Aoi has performed, so he doesn't feel nervous at all.
Standing in the backstage, Aoi watched as the clubs of the school perform their talents. He had seen many more professional performances before, but they were at least good for the students. When it was Chiyoko's turn to perform, she completely stole the stage and stunned everyone with her dancing of 'Swan Lake' - the performance that has earned her the first prize at the national. Her every move was flexible and graceful, and no one could spotted any errors from her dances. When Chiyoko finished, she completely captivated the attention of everyone as everyone gave her the loudest applause ever.
Upcoming was the performance of the Orchestra Club. Their performance still has some small flaws here and there, but overall, they really seemed to have practice hard for this event. While most of the members did as good, Aoi's attention was turned to a boy with black hair. He doesn't understand why, but there's something that intrigued him about him. He performed with an enthusiastic spirit and completely into his role. But he shook his head. He mustn't let his own feelings intervene before his own performance.
Next up is his time to shine. The Student Council President introduced his name and the song he's going to perform. Stepping up to the stage with grace and charisma, all the attention in the room was turned to him as complete silence covered the whole gymnasium. Bowing to the crowd, some of the girls who sat near the stage almost squeaked in excitement. Sitting down at the piano, he began to perform the song he had prepared.
As expected, no one could set their eyes off him. Perhaps it was the first time they saw a famous artist perform, but the main captivating factor is the way Aoi played the song itself. When he brought the melody to its end, the whole stage was packed with applause and cheering as he stood in the spotlight. Bowing to the crowd, he made his way back to the backstage.
From here on, it's a new beginning for him and his sister.
