Soft music could be heard drifting through the hallways of a small mansion that was the second house to the Yamanaka Corporation’s head family. Only a few people were ever there among those only one had the complete right to live at that house. Steadily the music got louder and clear as to what it was the gentle flow of someone who had complete passion for what she was doing. At the keyboard of a very expensive looking grand piano sat a young girl with her eyes closed just enjoying as the music flowed out of her. Sakura Yamanaka enjoyed music of any genre perhaps more then life itself. Her slender fingers carefully made their way across the keyboard rarely missing their next note. She sat with perfect posture not once doubting where her hands were to head next. Finally the last cord was played and her eye lids opened to reveal crystal blue eyes that seemed to set off her extremely light brown hair.
These same eyes drifted to the clock in the room she had been playing and a gasp could be heard. Quickly, The lid over the keys closed and the silence reigned, well in that room at least. The moment she opened the door to let herself out so that she may finish getting ready for the big day that was her first day of high school, she was ambushed by the sounds of her housemates, actually they were more like her brothers, as they got ready for their own school day. The brunette made her way down the hall listening to the guys laugh at whatever they were goofing around about. Silently with a joyous smile on her face she slipped into her bedroom and proceeded to get ready for her day. She had already taken a shower before her playing the piano having, since she was young, had a habit of ensuring she woke up before the guys did to take a shower since they had always tended to use up the water when they had been young.
She had grown up with them in the same foster home only at the time she was known by her birth name which was not Sakura Yamanaka but in fact it was Magumi Hanari the vary name of the lead singer of the current rising band Starz. Everyone she lived with shared the name with a member of the band, rather it is the name they go by currently or one they used in the past. Why is that? Well it's simple, they are the members of the band. It had been created during Sakura's first year of middle school. The band had been formed simply because they needed something to do instead of just hanging around the house. The fact that if they could get performances it would give them some pocket money wasn't a bad addition either.
A few minutes later, the brown haired girl emerged from her room dressed in a dark blue school uniform. Sakura had replaced her contacts that she had been wearing just moments ago with her glasses because she didn't want to wear them in case someone comments about her looking like her other self. Everything about the girl seemed to scream perfect student well, almost everything, the only thing that threw off this image was the four piercings in each ear that were revealed thanks to her hair being tucked behind her ears. Slowly she made her way over out to the dinning room where the others were still goofing off. “Good morning you four. What the plans for after school?” Her question announced her entrance into the room. All four of them were casually gathered around the dinning room table each dressed in their school uniforms. There were a total of three schools represented presently; Aishi middle. its high school counter part- Aishi High school, And –the widest known and respected--Okami Academy.
The four figures turned to face her. Each one of them seemed in his own way would have girls screaming just by the fact that all of them were looking at them, though Sakura was not one of those girls. Her eyes, now brown since she had removed her contacts, scanned the four guys she had known for almost her whole life.
“Good Morning Sakura-nee-chan,” two voices chimed at the same time as a pair of Identical looking guys with brown hair and emerald green eyes got up from their seats and attacked the girl with a hug nearly knocking the slightly shorter girl over in the process.
While this was going on a scoff came from the side of the table opposite of the three. There sat a tall guys with bleached blond hair that comes down to just above his shoulders with brown and an appearance that clearly said that this was not someone you wanted to be on the bad side of. “Isamu, Hiroki, aren't you two a little too old to do that?”
“Katsuro's right you two, Sakura is a girl and you two are now in your third year of middle school, if you were to be seen by others they may mistake your relationship with her.” said the fourth guy. This one had black hair that was neatly trimmed and shimmering gray eyes.
Sakura blinked in surprise at what had just occurred, not the hug she was used to that, but the fact that the two other guys had actually agreed on something. “Wait, Did Daisuke and Katsuro just agree on something the end of the world as we know it must be coming.” She teased the guys who had spoken up. The three of them had been together longer then any of them cared to remember. “Though they are right about what they said you two, if anyone outside us saw a girl who's only a year older then you being attacked with hugs they would think that said girl was going out with them or something along those lines. Also How many times to I need to tell you that you don't need to call me 'Sakura-nee-chan' anymore since we aren't in the orphanage anymore so just call me sakura.” She smiled at the two youngest members of the band before pulling away and fixing her blue blazer and tie that was part of her school uniform.
Without much more conversation the four of them sat down for breakfast with a five part chorus of Itadakimasu. After a couple of pieces of french toast, Sakura pushed her seat back from the table and set down her utensils. “well I shall leave first. I have to meet up with the student council before opening assembly this morning.” with that she walked away from the table to the front room.
In that room the warm chocolate haired girl picked up laptop and turned towards the closet and grabbed her school bag. Without missing a beat she slid the laptop inside the bag adjusting her other materials as she needed. “I'm leaving guys I'll see you guys at practice after school.” No more words was exchanged or at least not that the female had heard since she was already out the door and climbing into her personal limo. While this was happening she simply simply speculated that the guys had gone back to goofing off as they always did when Sakura was not around.
There was no noise in the limo on the way to school, as that was how Sakura preferred to drive. So to pass the time until she arrived at the Okami Academy's campus she pulled out a notebook that had clearly seen better days. It's binding was coming off and pages were sticking out at all different type of angles. The same slender fingers that had been playing piano approximately half an hour ago, carefully turned the pages until a clear page was found.
The next moment after a page was found there was a pen pulled out of her bag and already quickly writing across the page. It was a new song she had been brainstorming while playing the Piano. That was normally how Sakura came up with her Ideas while playing piano. This one was coming long smoothly when suddenly her driver cleared his throat to catch her attention.
“Sakura-sama, we've arrived at school.” he said simply rather bored with the fact that he had to do the same thing every single morning.
Sakura jumped out of surprise at the announcement from the normally silent driver. “oh Thank you,” she said vaguely before stuffing the notebook and pen back in her bag. She got out of the car and it pulled away leaving the girl standing there for a few among the other early arrivals.
Several minutes passed as she stood there in a bit of a daze as her mind was still currently working on the word of her new song. Shaking her head, she decided to focus on what needed to be done now and that was to take care of her responsibilities as Sakura Yamanaka, ranked number One among the first year and heiress of the Yamanaka Corporation. The song and band that she as Magumi Hanari held responsibilities for would have to be placed on hold until she had alone time. Taking a deep breath, she pushed all the current though pertaining to her second life to the back of her mind and headed into the school.
