B flat, A, G, F, E flat...
Kida's fingers slowly pressed the keys. Her class had finished, the room was not empty save for some music stands, the baby grand piano and herself. She sighed as the silence settled over her and the notes faded away. There was a new piece that she wanted to learn, but in between classes, helping Das and looking for a job she wasn't finding any time. Not to mention that finding this room empty like this was incredibly rare.
She had never liked playing in front of others. It made her self conscious and second guess herself and mess up. So if there were even one other person in the room, reading over their theory or practicing another instrument, Kida wouldn't stay. But Kida loved making music and expressing herself that way. It was very relaxing, good for the soul.
Opening her bag she took the sheet music to the new piece and set it on the stand. Though she hadn't gotten to play it really, she'd memorized how it was written, pulling out the sheets when she was bored in class and reading and rereading it while she listened to a recording of the song on her mp3.
Kida hummed the beginning and tested the keys once more. Focusing all her energy on practicing she played through the song several times when she felt she had a good grasp on it. It wasn't perfect, she still had things to tweek and she would need the sheet music still, but she was pleased. "Not bad..."
Stuffing the papers back into her bag she switched gears to a song she had memorized not too long ago. Kida was having so much fun that she didn't hear when the door opened to the music room.
((Open))

And in that door came Ayame. She always was the sneaky one. Iku would be the first to tell you that. Ayame had snuck in to Iku daydreaming so many times. Iku to this day will never truely admit it. But Ayame knew the truth and that's all she needed to know. But that was a diffrent story to tell. Ayame found herself bored silly as she walked by the class hearing someone playing the piano. She was curious and snuck in quietly. So that she didnt disturb the person's train of though. Ayame then looked at the raven haired girl. She was actually playing really good. She found it ... relaxing. Which was odd for Ayame, for she was never relaxed. She was always the hyper bunch.
Ayame then sat on the floor behind her. Listening to the music. It was definitely pretty. Ayame just sat there listening, she felt some sort of peace you could say. Ayame then waited for the woman to finish before she started clapping cheerfully.
"Encore!" Said Ayame in a happy tone

After the last note of the song resonated through the room Kida expected that same silence to surround her as it had before. Instead she got a nasty jolt to the heart as applause sounded behind her. Startled, Kida jumped up from the bench too quickly and ended up toppling backwards, knocking the bench with her. "Ow..."
Picking up her legs and swinging them over to the floor, Kida sat up and rubbed her sore back. "Don't you know it's rude to sneak up on people?!" she exclaimed. She looked up to see a girl staring back at her.

What Ayame expected to be an 'oh thank you' turned out to be quite the opposite. This girl freaked out falling out of her seat. She was about to go to her side and help her but she started yelling. Ayame jumped, for a second.
"Uh, Sorry, the door was open, and you sounded so good I didn't want to interrupt you" Said Ayame as she smiled innocently. She didnt mean to scare her. She just listened to the melody. It wasn't anything to be ashamed of so why was this girl so jumpy?

"Jeez..." Kida heaved a breath. She could feel her heart thundering in her chest at a fast pace. She lumbered to her feet and brushed herself off. Kida irritation was amplified only by the fact that she had meant to lock the door, but had apparently forgotten. Hell, it had even bounced back and sat open behind her back. Goddamned door...
"Well it usually common manners to inform someone when you're listening to private conversations or performances." she huffed. "I wouldn't have been playing if I knew you were there."
Gathering her bag, Kida added a reluctant, "Thank you." for her compliment that the music had sounded good. She shrugged. "I've just known it for a while that's all." Kida didn't have talent, just determination.

Ayame then looked down towards the ground. She didnt mean to just barge in and listen. It was so pretty that she didn't want to interrupt. She felt bad, she didn't mean to be rude or impolite. "I'm sorry" She said once again.
Ayame then looked up as the woman was grabing her bag. She said she had known it for a long time. "Oooo, How long have you been playing? Iku plays the piano all the time, I've always wanted to play but Iku-chan would not teach me" She said hyperly.

"Ever since my mother forced me into lessons as a child." Kida answered on cue, like always when this question arose for her. "Like any other kid I kicked and screamed until she let me stop...then I didn't pick it back up again until a few years ago." The song just happened to be one of her favorites that she liked to play over and over again, so she had never forgotten it. Even despite the fact that she had learned it so long ago.
Kida gave the girl a once over. The girl had too much energy than was natural. Or maybe Kida was just exhausted from having to deal with Ann Marie on a regular basis. "Then you should take this class if you want to learn."

Ayame then smiled ear to ear. That was a brilliant idea! Why hasn't she thought of that before? Ayame was thrilled with the idea.
"I think I will!" Said Ayame in excitement. She liked the idea. She liked it alot. She was excited of the idea of taking a class. Ayame then looked at the woman before her. After all this time, asking her questions about her past and what not. She hadn't even asked her name.
"By the way, My name is ayame, What's yours?" She asked me curiously

"My name is Kida...Nice to meet you and all that stuff." She shifted her bag on her shoulder. "Have you ever thought of auditioning for a Duracell or Energizer?" she asked, a little curious. "You could replace that pink rabbit."

Ayame then looked at Kida with curious eyes. She didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. "Why would you say that?" Asked ayame oblivious to the fact that she's one of the most hyper girls in the school. She's never once found someone who could keep up to her.

"Why...?" she repeated. "....uh..." This girl really didn't know that she was the energizer bunny minus the pink. "You just sort of remind me of it, that's all..."
Kida shook her head. "Anyway, if you want to join the class just talk to the teacher. I dunno if they're taking late entrees or whatever."

Ayame looked at Kida with curious eyes. How did she remind her of Energizer or Duracell. It baffled her to be quite honest. She was about to say something when Kida had said something. Ayame's energy dropped a few levels. "I kinda sorta already tried, They said they are way in the middle for me to start off" She said as she twitled her thumbs as her hands held each other.
She was still wondering about the energizer comment. Did she really remind her of a pink bunny?

"That's a bummer. ...But, hey, there's always next term. Or you could flip a bill for a private teacher." Some private teachers could be expensive and Kida didn't really recommend that choice of the piano of all instruments, but if it was the girl's only option....
"Or you could make a deal with a private instructor....Lessons for...I dunno, cookies or something." Kida had once had a teacher that was so scatter brained he didn't care what was going on as long as cookies were there.

Ayame looked at Kida with hopeful eyes. Kida's idea gave Ayame the vision of Kida teaching her. It was a good idea, but she didn't believe she was good at all. "Would you mind teaching me?" She asked with hopeful eyes. "Please, I'll be you're best friend"

"What? Me? N-no...I...I'm not a teacher." Kida waved her hands in front of her as if to ward off an on coming car or threat. "I'm really impatient and I don't even know where I'd start and I'd probably end up confusing you." The words left Kida's mouth in a rush. And they were all true. Kida didn't think she was the right material for a teacher at all.
