Kazuma takes center stage and the crowd begins to talk about him and the fangirls began to swoon. As he looked at them he smiled and then the sound of Hana and Lilith's guitars played, followed by the smooth beat of Jayden on drums. Then Kazuma stood looking at the crowd. The D.A. is dressed to the nines In the mirror he practices all his lines To his closing argument twelve hearts beat in favor I'm guessing that he read the morning paper The headline reads "the man hangs", but the jury doesn't Kazuma then took a deep breath and the girls watched in amazement freaking out over his attitude in the song before the crowd began to get gitty with anticipation. Then, the heavyness came hard with a bit of anger. And everyone's looking for relief United States versus disbelief Mothers cast tears on both sides of the aisle Clear your throat and face the world The verdict falls like bachelors for bad luck girls Only breathing with the aid of denial. Then with the sound of Kazuma taking a small breath the song emerged into its beautiful Chorus. The whole crowd screamed in excitement and the fangirls eyed Kazuma in pure lust. Case open, case shut, But you could pay to close it like a casket Baby boy can't lift his headache head Isn't it tragic? (Whoaaa-ooo) Kazuma then began talking in musical tone, continuing his story of damaged homes, then as the two fathers sat in the back Tori realized this song was about him and his Kazuma. The bond between them broke and this was Kazuma's cry out to him. He glances at his peers sitting seven to twelve stacked On one to six the gallery is hushed Boys in three pieces dream of grandstanding and bravado The city sleeps in a cell notwithstanding what we all know Hang on a rope or bated breath Whichever you prefer Kazuma then began to get into the song, making Tori realize he had left his boy all this time. He nodded at the song, not hurt, but, awake. Kazuma then began the next Chorus. And everyone's looking for relief A bidding war for an old flame's grief The cause, the kid, the course, the charm, and the curse Not a word that could make you comprehend Too well dressed for the witness stand The press prays for whichever headline's worse
Case open, case shut, But you could pay to close it like a casket Baby boy can't lift his headache head Isn't it tragic? (Whoaaa-ooo) Then Kazuma began making motions to clarify the next part was about him and Tori directly. Clear as day with its lyrics. Fresh pressed suit and tie Unimpressed birds sing and die Can talk my way out of anything The foreman reads the verdict "In the above entitled actions we find the defendant..." Guilty...Guilty...Guilty...Guilty... As the schools old choir behind the band began their solo, Hana then began hers and the crowd went wild cheering like madmen over the music. Placid looked at Tori and placed a hand on his shoulder and gave a half smile and Tori looked over and nodded. Kazuma looked back at his dad and saw him acknowledge the songs meaning and he continued the song into its final push into climax. Case open, case shut, But you could pay to close it like a casket Baby boy can't lift his headache head Isn't it tragic? [x2] Then As Kazuma ended the song the Choir began to end the rest of the song and as they sang Kazuma raised his hands to the sound of every pitch rising. While Jayden kept the final beat in the back until rolling to an end. As the Choir ended the crowd went nuts with cheer and Kazuma looked back at Tori and he smiled, Tori, returning the smile. The two then removed the glanced from one another and Kazuma switched placed with Lilith and looked at Hana and smiled breathing a sigh of relief.

Lillith took another deep breath, looking back at Hana, who quietly cheered her on, giving her a thumbs up. Her heart raced. As she started singing, it felt as if she were pouring her very heart and soul into her words. Time Is the reason why we fight to stay alive Until the morning comes
It's a strife But the shimmer in your eyes just makes me know That you and I belong
And you can light the dark all by your own So let us show the world our love is strong She opened her eyes, holding her arms close to her as if holding something to her heart, she looked over at Kazuma smiling warmly. Like a sign, like a dream You're my amaranthine. You are all I needed Believe me. Like we drift in a stream, You're beauty serene. There's nothing else in life i'll ever need. My dream Amaranthine. Kazuma started walking up toward her as he started singing his part of the song, standing next to her. Time Goes by as day and nights are turning into years But I'm lying in your arms It's the place Where I know that I am closest to your heart Where the dark is torn apart. The two smiled as they sang, occasionally looking at eachother as if they knew the other was singing it to them. Like a sign, like a dream You're my amaranthine. You are all I needed Believe me. Like we drift in a stream, You're beauty serene. There's nothing else in life i'll ever need. My dream Amaranthine. Lillith turned to him, her red eyes gazing into his as she sang her small part. Like a sign, like a dream You're my amaranthine. You are all I needed Believe me. The crowd went crazy as Hana did a small guitar solo, Lillith smiling as she rocked herself to the beat a little and Kazuma looking out over the crowd. Lillith felt the urge to sing her heart out the last round of the chorus. Like a sign, like a dream You're my amaranthine. You are all I needed Believe me. Like we drift in a stream, You're beauty serene. There's nothing else in life i'll ever need. My dream Amaranthine. The last two lines, they turned to eachother, looking into eachothers eyes as they sang, as if confessing their feelings to eachother through the song. At the end of the song, as the guitar rift faded, lillith lifted herself up and kissed him deeply, holding him close to her as she did. When she withdrew, she looked at him for a minute before sighing. "I am going to get burned at the stake when this concert is over." before smiling at him and leaving him at the front of the stage to take her place further back.

After the crowd calmed down a little the annoucer made his way to the stage and he smiled, "That was awesome wasn't it?! But, we all need our breaks now and then so the music will continue in 2 hours! Enjoy the festival everyone!" he said as the crowd dispersed. Kazuma was still in a little shock from the kiss. His fangirls stood in their spots, faces red with anger. He looked at Lilith and his face turned red. He wasn't sure what to do at all. He was stuck for the first time with the one girl he had fallen in love with.
"...I-I don't know what to say as he looked at her and blushed. The fangirls scoffed at his interest in Lilith but at the same time they blushed at how 'adorable' Kazuma looked when he blushed. He looked around the area and noticed a stall selling drinks and he sighed hoping off the stage and buying a bottle of water. He sat at a nearby empty entryway for a empty building. He sat there trying to come up with something to say. Almost hoping Lili would come be with him, even if he couldn't speak. Hana watched her brother and giggled, she then poked Lili and gave her the motion to go talk to him.
"Go! Your 'Prince Charming' is waiting for you I think!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tori and Placid enjoyed their childrens songs and most of all the attention they got from it. Placid had taken Mihari's hand and when Lilith kissed Kazuma he almost broke her hand. He never got mad at anything, but, for some reason that one gesture of love ticked him off a bit. Tori looked at Placid and smiled seeing his frustration. "Now now, don't get mad because she fell for him. He's a chip off the old block haha!" he said as Placid shuddered in a bit of anger, thus pulling Tori and giving him some dire words.
"Let's make one thing clear. I don't want to see that again. Period."

Lillith looked rather smug with herself for a few minutes as she grabbed her hoodie and moved it off the front of the stage. She listened as the announcer had let everyone know it was time for a break and they'd be back in two hours. She turned and watched him go and buy a water and go stand in an empty archway. Hana's words made her chuckle a little and she went to go join him. On the way there, she spotted the parents. She chuckled at the fact that her father looked like he wanted to kill someone.
When she got to where Kazuma was hiding at, she stood next to him quietly for a few minutes, just watching everything. Then she chuckled again, thinking about her father.
"I think I may have given my dad a heart attack. OR put him on a rampage. Can't tell which..." she said, laughing a little.
------------------------------------------------------------
Mihari was tickled pink, even if her hand did hurt pretty badly. She cradled her sore hand, then chuckled at Placid's reaction.
"A bit late for that hun... she's been wanting to do that for the last 2 years. Still don't know where she gets it... certainly not from me..." she said, looking at Placid smugly.

"Either one of those things can end badly..." he said with a nervous smile. He sat there and took her hand. "Lili, I... I want to ask you... I want to ask you out." he said blushing, "The only thing is I don't think I am good enough for you and I don't want to mess anything up..." he sighed looking at the ground. "I... I love you..." he said shutting his eyes and sighing again.
"That... felt good to finally say...
------------------------------------------------------------
Tori rose an eyebrow and Placid turned to Mihari and did the same. He looked at her with curiousity then let Tori go. He poked her and sighed, moving his pure white hair out of his face.
"What are you implying?" he said as Tori looked at her from behind him and nodded, "Yeah! I want to know that t-...!" he began and was cut off by Placid who covered his mouth. "Quiet Tori, adults are speaking." he said, the words made Tori's reaction to go from worried to a 'for real?' look and tone. Tori moved his best friends hand and sighed.
"Yeah yeah... Whatever..."

Lillith sat there listening to him and smiled. She turned toward him and held his hands as she looked into his eyes.
"Kazuma, I... I'm not very good with words. You are one of the few people that I feel comfortable talking to. But... I have been waiting for you to ask me that for the last couple years." she said, blushing and looking away slightly. "I... I love you too, Kazuma."
----------------------------
Mihari blinked at them, then looked defeated.
"Oh, alright. You caught me. I know I promised her I wouldn't tell you, but you caught me, so here it its... " she looked slightly sad, and sighed. "Nuriko and I were alone for a long time. We got urges that couldn't be fulfilled, so... " she sighed again, looking slightly awkward. "We started having sex together."

Kazuma blushed as he listened to her return her feelings. He smiled, happy that now he knew that she was the one hevwanted to be with and she felt the same. He took her hand and blushed pretty badly.
"Well, how about we have some fun while we are on break eh? I mean, we ARE at Festival right?" He said leading her out towards different stalls. Other girls leered at Lillith as they walked to serveral booths, playing the common carnival games. Then, as they completed their fourth, Kazuma looked at Lillithvand smiled. He realized Jayden was right. He could do this. It was something thatvwas meant to be. Like, they were soul mates. After they finished the game Kazuma led her to a nearby bench, an area void of people, so they could talk.
"I have always loved you..." he continued blushing a bit, "I was honestly to afraid to ask you out because I figured you were way to out of my league..." He chuckled giving off a nervous smile and he sighed looking into the sky. It was becoming late afternoon, the sky itself was almost in a gradient of blue to pink. It was quite the marvel. It made Kazuma look Lillith in the eyes and move in. He blushed like crazy, but, he kissed her as deep as his feelings were for her. He released and his face was red.
"Sorry, I-I couldn't help it..."
---------------------------------------------
Placid and Tori stood frozen as the words rang through thier heads. Tori gave off the look of deppresion then he grabbed Mihari and shook her playfully.
"WHY DIDNT YOU RECORD IT?!" he shouted, Placid hit him over the head knocking him onto the ground. Placid's face bright red as a strawberry. "Shut up Tori..." he said trying to avoid eye contact with his lover. Tori coughed as Placid stepped on him.
"I was k-kidding...!"

Lillith smiled, blushing as he took her hand. She followed him around the festival, enjoying his company as they played some of the carnival games. She saw the dirty looks from the girls, but she didn't care. She rarely got along with most girls anyways. When Kazuma smiled at her, she smiled at him back. She was the happiest she had been in a while, everything seemed to be working out.
As he pulled her over to a bench to talk, she couldn't help but grin. His comment about her being out of his league made her chuckle. "Talking about out of who's league? I figured I'd be WAY out of your league, you could get any female you wanted. I can't be all that special..." she said, laughing a little. But his kiss caught her off guard. She blushed almost as red as her eyes, then moved in to return the kiss. She placed her hands on his cheeks, returning the kiss slightly deeper, as a way of telling him he didn't need to apologize, she actually liked it. When she withdrew, her face was still bright red, but she smiled at him.
----------------------------------------------
There was a bright flash before mihari stored her camera back in to her back pocket.
"Sorry, I've never seen you blush like that... needed proof for later." she said, smirking at Placid before kissing him on his cheek. "And recording it would ruin the whole point in you guys not knowing about it. If we had no plans to tell you in the first place, why would we record it?" she said, laughing.

"I could but..." he sat there blushing from her kiss. "I dont feel the same about any other girl the way I do about you. You mean the world to me..." he looked at her and into her deep red eyes and smiled. He took her hand in his and his heart raced.
"We have been friends since we were kids and... well..." he said smiling, "When did you know you liked me?"
-------------------------------------------------
Placid looked at her and raised an eyebrow at her and sighed blushing harder than before. "That's not funny..." he said letting Tori stand back up. Tori stood there dusting himself off and sighed. Looking at the two of them and shrugged, "I dunno what the problem is. Two beauties needing attention... To me thats kinda h-..." he was cut off by Placid again.
"Continue your scentences in this matter and I will fix it to where to can't speak anymore!" He said giving off a bit of anger with his embarassment. Tori chuckled and patted him on the back.
"Now now, calm down. Im kidding. At beautiful as Mihari is, I know my limits. Calm down." He said smiling. He looked at the both of them and then vack at the stage. A group of workers were setting up lights for the rest of the show, since it was to be evening by the time the band began playing again.
"All I know is it wouldnt surprise me if Nuriko did that with Mihari. I'd be okay with it since I trust Mihari as much as I trust her."

Lillith thought about it for a minute.
"Well, considering I am a few years older than you, but we literally grew up together. I had the biggest childhood crush on you when we were kids, but I always kept quiet about it. I didn't start to realize it was something more than that until a year or two ago, but it took me until around the time your dad came back for me to actually admit to myself that I was in love with you. So... it's been there for a while..." she said blushing as she looked down, her hand still in his.
"When did you know you liked me?"
-----------------------------------
Mihari watched Placid's reaction, a little sad. "You didn't think I was serious, did you?"
She stepped in front of him, moving herself about half a foot from his face, brushing his hair out of his eyes and smiling at him. Then she spoke, but it was to Tori as well as to Placid.
"As close as Nuriko and I are, I could never actually do that. We joke, yes, but I love my Placid way too much to be able to do that."

Kazuma listened to her and smiled. When she had asked him the same question, he thought about it pretty hard.
"Well, I believe I started liking you when we were kids..." he looked at her and he chuckled, "As we grew up I really began falling for you. I began to love you about 5 years ago..."
---------------------------------------------------
The day was bright and the ocean was glimmering in the summer sun. The young Kazuma sat on the sand with his sister. She was reading a novel while he laid down on his stomach. She looked at him and poked him, "They are coming right?" she asked and he nodded. Hana had a robe on hiding her body from any other people there. Kazuma stood up and walked off down the beach near the pier. It of course was louder during the summer. The distance he had traveled was quite a ways. The only people nearby were the ones on the pier far above him. He heard scuffling and whimpers and looked inside the undercroft to see two guys holding Jayden while another hit him. There was another holding Lilith and covering her mouth to keep her for crying out for help.
"Hey!" Kazuma yelled running out into the bullies sights. The biggest one, the one who was wailing on Jayden, looked up and smiled. The two guys holding him, dropped him and turned to face Kazuma.
"Haha! Well, looky here boys! A witness!" The bully said smiling. His boys walked behind Kazuma and stood there smiling. He began to break a sweat and he looked at the boss with malicious intent.
"Let them go! They didnt do anything to you!" He said gritting his teeth. The boss smiled and shook his head.
"I haven't the slightest clue what you are reffering to. I was asking the girlie out on a date and this guy was interfering so we shut him up. Didn't we eh blondie?" He said it and stepped on Jayden's back and pressed on him hard. He eyed Kazuma and gave him a smug look of challenge. The two behind him charged at him and Kazuma dodged one and managed to trip the other. The boss' smile went from evil and happy to completely feral. He pointed at the one holding Lilith and his hands rubbed her body.
"I wouldnt move anymore than you have to pretty boy." He said chuckling. "The beauty here cant afford it..." as he said the Kazuma watched that guy touch Lilith in the most disturbing ways. His eyes grew red hot in anger and he charged the boss, knocking him down and Kazuma pinning him. He moved his head and Kazuma punched him repeatedly in the throat. The one holding Lilith looked at the other two and they watched in horror.
Kazuma stopped and pulled the guy up, looking into his eyes, he coughed up blood and looked like he was dying. The look in Kazuma's eyes were feral and completely unnatural.
"You made the biggest mistake of your life. If I hadn't stopped punching you, I would have killed you. Nobody would have stopped me, not even you so called Bros... he said looking up at the one holding Lilith. Kazuma stood up and looked right at him. The bully gave him a look of fear and pushed Lilith to him and Kazuma held her close and the bully backed up. Kazuma looked at Lili and then back at him. The bullies took off carrying their half alive boss with them. Kazuma held Lilith close and they helped Jayden up, who was okay.
"Never again..."
----------------------------------------------
"When i watched that guy touch you like that it made me realize that at that moment I loved you. That anyone doing anything like that to you it..." he stopped and sighed tensing up. "It drove me crazy. Seeing you in a position of being in danger makes me do nothing more than to be there to protect you. Because without you here, I don't think i could ever live in true serenity..."

Lillith grinned, chuckling a little.
"I think that was also when I decided I didn't want to be helpless anymore and started having your mom give me secret fighting lessons. I started training myself because I didn't want to put anyone else in danger to defend me. I figured, if I could defend myself, then nobody else would have to get hurt." she laughed a little. "Somehow I turned into the girl at school that everyone was afraid of."
Then she thought about the timing, holding Kazuma's hand.
"Actually that was about the time I first realized my actual feelings for you. It just took me a little longer to actually admit it to myself. Mostly because I was so afraid of you not liking me the same way..." she rested her head on his shoulder.

Kazuma nodded listening to her, "Afraid in a way that isn't hostile..." he looked at her and smiled, "They are afraid of you because they don't know how to approach you, I know of a few girls who are actually jealous of you..." he said stretching. He looked at her and smiled, taking her hands and looking into her deep red eyes. He gazed into them and almost got lost before Hana walked up making kissing noises. Kazuma blushed and gave her a nervous smile, "Hehe... Hana... What are you doing here?" he said as she sat behind him.
"Well, darling brother, I hate to disturb you and Lili but Lili's dad wants to talk to you I think."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well, no. But, sometime it is hard to tell..." he said smiling at her, Tori chuckled at the two of them and look away to see Kazuma walking forward toward them. He stopped and stood straight almost honored to be there. Placid folded his arms and Tori rose an eyebrow, eyeing the two of them. He smiled when he realized what was going on. Placid glared at Kazuma and Kazuma gave him a look of nervous fear back.
"You and I need to have a little chat..."

Lillith blushed when she heard Hana making kissy noises, then turned away a little. But she got slightly worried when she said her father wanted to talk to Kazuma. She followed behind Kazuma, slightly unsure of what was going to happen, but also slightly worried. As much as she looked up to her father, she didn't really know him too well aside from the stories her mother used to tell her as a child. And they hadn't had much time together to get to know eachother either, so she didn't quite know what to expect.
When they reached the adults, she watched as her father turned his gaze from her mother and glared at Kazuma. Tori looked rather amused, as did her mother. Lillith walked around to Mihari as Placid said they needed to talk. She looked at Mihari, who looked back at her daughter. As if she knew what was bothering lillith, she smiled and patted her on the head.
"He'll be fine. Your father didn't get to be all overly-protective of you growing up... I think he's trying to make up for that." she said giggling. "Mind you, don't quote me on that. It's hard to tell what your father is thinking most of the time, if not all the time." she looked toward Placid, slightly curious about what was going to happen. "Plus i'm pretty sure Tori would do the same thing if some guy came up wanting to date Hana..."

Placid showed his hand and continued to glare. "Let's take a walk, Lili, stay with your mother if you would. This shouldnt take long..." Placid as Kazuma walk past sweating terribly. The two walked until they hit the bench Hana was on Placid nodded at her and she stood up and met with Lili. The two of them sat next to one another, quiet for a moment until Placid shut his eyes.
"Kazuma, I want to know that she will not get hurt by you. I want to know that while she is with the one boy she trusts as much as her own brother, will not hurt her..." he said then looking at him. He wasnt glaring anymore and Kazuma gave him a warm smile.
"Don't worry about that sir. I have been told by my mom I act alot like my dad when it comes to girls but, I respect her way to much to hurt her. Shes... Well... perfect." He blushed a little and Placid smiled a bit. He patted Kazuma on the back and stood up, "Good. Just... Keep her safe. I can trust you as I can see as you are just like your father... He loves your mother and even with all the female attention... He stays loyale to her. Just remember that Kazuma." He began walking away and Kazuma called to him, making him stop and turn to him.
"Sir! Thank you for trusting me...." he said with complete honor. Placid smiled and nodded walking away back towards Mihari and his daughter. He looked at her and gave her a hug, whispering a small set of apologies to her.
"Im sorry i was there for you and Jayden when you were growing up. Im sorry you guys were left to depend on your mother alone for so long. Im sorry Lili... Have fun with Kazuma... Now go ahead..." he said letting go. Tori nudged Hana and jerked his head in Kazuma's direction and she took Lili and ran towards him. After which he sighed and chuckled.
"So you do have a heart after all? I hope you didnt scare my boy to much..." he said as Placid watched his little girl run with her best friend. His eyes were warm and a smile grew. He sighed and looked away.
"Whatever..."
