[5] Schlehit Melodie

Third Person's Point of View

The tension inside the gym kept everyone from saying anything that even Nishinoya cannot do his usual screams and yells.

"So?" Senri stated breaking the silence. "How do we start this?" She asked, looking at the dance club.

"For now, can we have all three club president here with me?" Takeda-sensei requested which Daichi and the dance club's president, Makoto stepped forward.

They all looked at the music club that was still eyeing one person with their eyebrow raised.

The person sighed, and slowly approached the teacher."Why do I always get to swallow every trouble you guys bring."

Takeda chuckled at his student. "It can't be helped Ryuuga-san."

His smile then turned upside down, a look of formality drawn on his face.

"The decision of this competition will go to the volleyball club's decision. The thing you'll do is quite simple. The dance club will dance and the Music club will play. The two clubs will have to go all out on this. Whoever will be chosen by the Volleyball club as having the most victory is the winner."

"Simple and best." Megumi respond in agreement. "In short whose talent shines better takes the slot."

Takeda-sensei nod and acknowledged the volleyball boys' presence.

"Does it solve the struggle?" He asked. The boys all nod in response, and once again Takeda's gaze landed on the two clubs.

"The slot we'll give you would be the stadium. Its wide enough for clubs like yours to perform and since that's the spot you'll fight for. That's also the spot of your competition."

The walk towards the gymnasiums stadium was silent yet it didn't took long as the dance club asked a question referring to the music club.

"How many are your first years?" Makoto asked.

Senri that was walking beside her smiled. "Four, but three are the only ones that'll perform."

From the corner of her eyes, Senri watched as the grin in Makoto's face and Shoyo's worried gaze.

"Takeda-sensei. How about we start with the first years?" Makoto suggested with a smirk. "With this, we'll know if our first years are capable."

Takeda looked at the girls from the music club that was all uninterested and busy with their phone with some of their instruments slinging behind them.

"We don't mind." It was Miss Sento who responded. "Is there a theme or some sort?"

"No there's no need for that." Daichi, who had recovered from the deep thought he had stated. "As long as they perform. My team will decide."

Hiyori nodded. "My students are actually not prepared for this."

A smirk made its way to Makoto's face and at the same time a silent snicker was seen by the volleyball boys coming out of Senri and a brunette beside her.

"But of course." They all look at Miss Sento whose gaze for a second, darken. "Who needs preparation in terms of war."

"Well then." Takeda nervously butt in knowing too well Hiyori's capabilities. "All first year representatives from the dance club, step forward."

Five students approach Takeda with nervous gestures.

"We have a dance practiced that was prepared for the upcoming club day. We shall use that." One of them shyly stated.

"okay then." Takeda encouragingly stated. "Do your best!"

And with that, the five of them went up to start a dance, the music coming from a speaker that was prepared at the backstage in case of announcements and ceremonies.

"The dance isn't hip hop right?" Suga asked as he closely watch the first years dancing and Tanaka from beside him shook his head.

"Its a complicated one. The flicker im their movements even though the dance is gentle."

"Yet looking at them, you could really say that they just started." Tsukishima observed.  The rest of the dance became silent after that and Makoto eyed the Music Club, unable to know where is the first years from them. But a smile made way to her face.

'Three, how impossible for them to play. And even if they can, no first year would dare try other instruments other than guitar.'

She thought snickering to her self applauding when the music ended and her first years stop for a bow.

"Sorry I'm late!" A voice from behind them yelled.

Looking back, A blush made its way to most of the boys in the room except for Takeda's and two boys from the music club as a girl in a swimming uniform arrived, her maroon hair dripping so as her swimsuit.

"Sorry!" She said once again making her way to the music club and stopping in front of their club president. "Peace yow Megumi!"

Ryuuga only rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Its the first year, and you're not part of it. Yet."

"Oh." The girl deadpanned before laughing. "Well then, I'll watch for support!"

Takeda cleared his throat to caught the attention of the people inside. "Music clubs first year. Please step forward."

Shuffling can be heard from behind the third year before a man's voice was heard.

"Are you guys sure it'll be just the three of you?"

"Yes we're sure Kai. Just stay here. We don't want you to waste time on trivial stuff." A voice replied. Makoto grit her teeth in annoyance.

'Trivial stuff?! How overconfident!' She thought.

The shuffling stopped and soon the girls stepped forward, their appearance almost made three of the volleyball boy's first year to drop on their knees while their eyes widen in shock.

"We haven't practice. But we had already a song that can be sung by three persons." The voice from earlier said. Now clearer, her void blue eyes complimenting her uninterested pale face.

"Well then." Takeda smiled. "Best of luck!"

The three nodded before taking a stand towards at the stadium, the world seem so small to their eyes.

"Makino!" The girl that had come late called out. Makino, the one she's referring to looked at the girl in confusion.

"What is it Himitsu-senpai?"

"Were sorry for forcing you to perform in front of your boyfriend!"

The immediately flushed avoiding eye contact from the volleyball boys that was looking at her then back at her boyfriend. "I can see that your anxious so go easy on them okay?" Himitsu added before staring at the two girls beside Makino.

"You too Seirei, Tsubasa!"

One of them shrugged in response while the other just stuck her tongue out and winked.

Everyone's eyes were on the three as they watch them do a short rock paper scissors and the girl with brown hair loosing, she sighed before going back down stage grabbing a lot of kits that when she opened were revealed to be sets of drums.

"I'm borrowing Shirabe-senpai." Her high pitched voice echoed around.

"I'm borrowing too Akari-senpai." The girl with the blue uninterested eyes stated.

The two they were pertaining too was only waving at them. On the other hand, Makino was struggling upon feeling the gaze of her lover from afar in a shaken state, she put her guitar case down slowly unzipping the zipper to reveal a dark red electric guitar a smile then made way to her face, and excitedly, she plugged the wire to the amplifier. And confidently stare at his boyfriend with a smile clutching the guitar tightly that she cherish with all her heart.

"One! Two! One! Two Three go!" The sound of drumsticks hitting each other and Seirei's voice echoing at her back as she and Tsubasa nod at each other, the smile on her face vanishing as she holds down the mic that was placed in front of her, her eye contact with her boyfriend not leaving.

And she started strumming.

Makino: Love me up... Eternity

Die otherwise... "Falling in hell"

Mikudashite ageru

Makoto froze at her place, her eyes wide in shock. She wasn't expecting this... that a first year would that was nervously jumpy earlier would be this intimidating once she started singing.

Tsubasa: Einsamkeit...

Luge Zweifel...

Zuchtigen

And to think that their Bass player was this horrifying that her uninterested look completely fading a dark gaze replacing her face.

Makino: Kore wa Platonic na yami no Fairy Tale

Yakitsuke nasai sono utsukishisao

Shinu hodo aishite kuruoshiku eien ni

Watashi dake no fukashin no oni'ki

Hoka no dare ni mo wakaru hazu ga nai...

Chouritsu wa kurutta mama utai tsuzukeyou

"Saa jigoku e... tomo ni warutsu o odorou... 'izon' no fuchi de"

From the corner of where Tsukishima stands his eyes connecting to the girl in front of stage he smiled. He knows how dark the song is, he knows it quite different from who Makino really is. But he can't help but still admire her. This is the first time he ever saw the girl in front of him being this dark, and he didn't mind.

Before she could start the chorus, he mouthed a word, that caused his girlfriend's confidence to burst grabbing the mic to sing with all her heart.

Makino: Hizamazuke... wareta kagami no naka de

Jigyakutekina ai ni oborete yuku…

Kashizuita... uwamezukai no hitomi

Sono kokoro kowashite aishite ageru...

Ibitsuna gyokuza no ue utau Schlehit Melodie

Makino's dark looks remained yet her heart keeps on skipping a beat as her boyfriend mouthed another word. She closed her eyes to end the song.

Makino: Love me up..."Eternity"

Die otherwise... Falling in Hell"

'I love you'

'I really do.'

A curt bow is the last thing they did before running back down to the stage passing by a veey mo bewildered Makoto.

"Nice! Makino!" Himitsu cheered over and over again as she keep on raising her handa up in the air for a continuous cheer.

She eyed her boyfriend that was still looking at her, a smiled making its way to her face.

'I love you too.' She mouthed before returning her gaze to her friends that was enjoying the talks.
