CHAPTER 6

He danced so well, Karu could tell that Yu practiced many hours a day. Karu stared at Yu stunned at his skill. As he continued to dance and sing Karu got more and more amazed. He didn't know there was someone in the world that could sing and dance. Karu wondered why his talent didn't have more attention.

As Yu finished Karu was silent. He just stared at Yu, he didn't know what to say. Suddenly May burst out laughing. "HAHAHAHA! OH MY GOD, KARU YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR FACE!" Karu's mouth was hanging open and his eyes were wide, he was staring at Yu like an idiot.

Karu's mouth snapped shut but not fast enough, Komaki noticed and started laughing too. So now it was two people laughing and Karu saw a hint of a smile on Yoku's face. Karu turned back to Yu but he was turned around and avoiding eye contact again. Karu could tell that he was also trying not to laugh.

Karu felt his face getting hot, but he spun around so the others couldn't see. He stormed over to the chair that May had been sitting in earlier and sat down, but refused to look at the others. Komaki Continued to Laugh but May and Yu seemed to pull themselves together. "Komaki..." Yu said as he got down from the stage. Komaki instantly stopped laughing although it was obviously difficult for him.

Karu was surprised, not many people could make Komaki shut up. Yoku could and so could his parents, Yu was the fourth person that Karu knew that could do it. Something was poking into his side, when he looked down he realized it was the thing that May had been reading. It was folder that seemed like it couldn't hold any more paper or it would explode.

Karu opened to a random page and started reading. He realized that it was song lyrics and they were amazing. He turned to may and said, "hey May, did you write this?" May turned away from Komaki, who she had been scolding and noticed the open folder in his hands.

"Ah! No that wasn't me, that's Yu's." she said as she pointed at Yu who was now arguing with Komaki over the who would use the guitar first. When Yu heard his name called he looked up and Komaki grabbed the guitar. Karu turned to Yu then looked back at the Folder.

"You wrote this?" Karu said as he pointed at the folder in his hands. Yu nodded.

"That's amazing. You can sing, dance and write music." Karu said he was genuinely amazed he wondered again how no music companies had noticed him yet.

May, who was standing next to him coughed trying to cover up her laughter. "That's not the only thing he can do." May said in between coughs.

"Hmm... the electric guitar, drums, piano, keyboard and acoustic guitar are his specialty, but he said he can play a bunch of other instruments. Plus he's a fast learner."

Karu stared at her, he worked in the music industry so he knew a lot of people who could play lots of instruments but that was a ridicules amount. "Are you sure that he wasn't just over exaggerating?" Karu said as he glanced at Yu.

May shook her head, "No, he's not. I've seen him play a bunch of instruments in the past few days, he isn't lying."

Karu turned back to Yu. He was glaring at Komaki as he took an agonizingly long time to tune the guitar. Yu shook his head and left the room to do something. Maybe he was going to see if there was a guitar in the music room that all the classes used. Moments later Yu ran back in and slammed the door shut behind him. He leaned against the door and swore to himself. Suddenly the door started to open behind Yu's back. Yu slid into the space between the wall and the door so that the person who came in wouldn't see him. Karu recognized the man who entered the room immediately.
