Power of Cookies

Yukino arrived at her house feeling tired and somewhat conflicted because of the absurdity she knew as Sora.

She felt hungry for some reason, she took a look at the table and saw nothing aside from a jar of cookies.

Her stomach grumbled in anger on why she didn't want to take the cookies, She sighed in frustration as it really was delicious and she knew who made it.

She gulped and opened the jar as if she felt she had opened Pandora's box.

"I really have no choice" She thought as she opened it as she was bad at cooking.

She hesitatingly took a bite and was surprised to found that she somewhat now had a resistance to it.

"Why does that bastard have to make such delicious cookies" Yukino complained as she took another until she finished it all without noticing.

Utaha arrived at her living space and looked at the contract she just signed.

"I'm going to be a writer" Utaha told herself as she stared at the piece of paper in the air, she soon felt a sense of urgency to improve the story and give it the best she could.

"Ah right I have to inform Hiratsuka-sensei" She soon took out her phone and when she opened it She smiled as Shizuka agreed and congratulated her for accomplishing one of her dreams.

'Congratulations Kasumigaoka, I expect you don't sleep on me again this coming week, well at least don't sleep on my class'

Utaha nodded and hid the contract on of her drawers but she soon found another problem.

"Who is gonna draw?"

"You look happy" Shizuka told Sora who was busy writing.

"Of course" He continued writing and Shizuka came near him.

"What are you writing?" Shizuka took the book Sora wrote on and started reading.

"It's a novel I wanna publish and illustrate" Shizuka read the first pages and was instantly captured, she then looked at the title of the book.

"Your Lie in April" Shizuka looked at Sora. "You named the main character as yourself? And Kaori as Kaori? Is this an autobiography of the two of you?"

"Sort of" Sora then took it back and knew it would be a hit anime and would also boost Sora and Kaori's popularity.

"Tell me when you finish it, say did you only write because you wanted to impress Utaha?" Shizuka knew about Utaha's current situation as she was informed by Sora shortly after she signed the contract.

"Sorta but not really, I mean the current novels being printed out aren't just up to par" Shizuka nodded as she felt that the novel he was writing was going to be a hit just by reading the first few chapter.

"So what's next for you once you finish writing that up?"

Sora thought long and hard "I don't know? Maybe write a new novel about Quintessential Quintuplets who all fall for the same guy or something close to it"

Shizuka flinched wondering if Sora had seen Yu's students or was it about the current girls around him.

"Uh sure" Shizuka didn't want to tell him yet as it would be very troublesome for her to manage and the current Harem dynamic he had would only trouble them further, as her aunt she should be helping manage them right? "Let me be the one to read it first?"

"Sure" Sora continued on his work as he wanted to publish it early he didn't notice that someone had arrived behind him and read everything as he wrote.

"You're wrong there, you approached me, not me" The girl giggled sat beside Sora.

"Was it? I remember you crying because you were somehow a note behind" Sora stopped writing and looked at Kaori who was reading his drafts.

"Hey! Who said I liked someone else other than you! And what kind of name is Ryota?" Kaori kept reading as Sora had kept staring.

"It's just for the drama"

"Don't use my name if you plan on writing me as someone who liked another guy besides you" Kaori pouted as she didn't really wanted to be paired with another guy other than Sora.

"Don't worry I'm not, I'm gonna change somethings then" Sora patted Kaori as she eventually returned back to normal "So what brings you here?"

Kaori flashed Sora a smile as she showed her violin. "I just wanted to play along with you, everyone was busy so I thought you'd be lonely"

"Actually" Sora remembered the song he wrote last night and gave it to Kaori.

"What's this? " Kaori looked at title first. "Orange?" Kaori knew that Sora liked vague titles when he composed their duet songs.

"Mm, I wanted to sing it for you but now"

"You want me to sing? Are you sure about that Sora?" Kaori took the page and started reading they lyrics since she was hesitant.

"I'm sure you will" Sora then returned to writing, shortly after he heard Kaori playing the song and listened to it as it was relaxing.

Shortly after Kaori had finished playing the song.

"I want to sing, even though I might not be good at it comparing it to my violin skills but I want to sing this, with you of course" Kaori laid down her violin and held Sora's hand as the song was what she wanted to say to him.

"What made you change your mind?"

"'I remember your smile that's like the sky after it just rained, that brightens up my heart', that line is what I felt every time I was lonely and alone before you kept visiting me in the hospital, So that's why I want this line!"

Kaori became energetic suddenly as she stood up and dragged Sora who brought her violin as they both rushed towards the music room.

The two then began discussing which parts they would sing and what they could do to make it sound better.

Every time Kaori sang her parts she felt that she had relived the memory of the time Sora came and reassured her she would live and that she should fight.

Kaori stopped midway when she read a certain lyric, Sora noticed this and waited for her wanting to know what she was thinking.

"This part, I want to make sure."

"Of what?" Sora looked at Kaori who placed her Violin atop the Piano and moved his body to face her.

"That you're referring to our family" Kaori sat in front of Sora and grabbed his hands.

"Of course" Kaori nodded and hesitantly looked at Sora, she turned red, closed her eyes. Sora knew what she wanted and obliged as he took Kaoiri's lips.

The two kissed not noticing the time until someone coughed.

"This is the music room, and here I thought I was hearing a new track, use your Room

Next time" Shizuka grumbled as she felt jealous and annoyed looking at Sora and Kaori who was now hiding her face on Sora's chest.

"Shall we?" Sora told Kaori as he wanted to keep practicing the song with her, Kaori took a deep breath and stood up as she took her violin once more as the two played and practiced.

"Eh? Why are there cookies?" Sakura said as she opened the Pancrea looking cake and found another bag of cookies.

"He did say to Eat the cake first" Sakura forgot to eat it immediately a day ago, she then looked around confirming she was alone.

"Might as well" Sakura took a piece of the cake and when it entered her mouth it instantly gave her a sense of happiness, pleasure and relief? Unhesitatingly she finished the cake after a few more minutes as she couldn't hold herself back.

As She took the last bite "No more?" She sighed and felt saddened, she then took out her notepad and crushed out an item on her list.

"Eat a fancy dessert, but what's with this cake?" Sakura couldn't pinpoint it but somehow she felt weird she remembered there was a bag of cookies wondering if they somehow tasted the same.

Before she took a cookie she saw a piece of paper and read the contents.

'After you eat the cake eat this, eat it moderately though and be careful and make sure you're alone and at your house when you eat this, and don't say I didn't warn you -Sora' Sakura wondered what's with the cookie and told herself what's the worst thing that could happen to her.

Sakura took a bite, and soon as she did her eyes widened.

"Sora!"

__________

"Achoo!" Sora sneezed as they were playing.

"Bless you" Kaori stopped and thought it was time for them to take a break.

"Thanks" Kaori then sat beside Sora once more.

"Say are you worried about the competition?"

"Not one bit, I'm questioning whether you're asking for me or for Emi"

Kaori flinched and sighed "She is my friend"

"Then why are you worried for her?"

"Of course I'm worried for her because of you! A lot of things could have happened if I wasn't miraculously cured"

"Your point being?"

"Don't try to act dense! I know you know, you know that she has feelings for you."

"And Kousei has feelings for her, not that his mother would allow for him" Sora laughed.

"Exactly!" Kaori pouted and knew if given the chance Sora would prey on anyone.

Sora pinched Kaori's cheeks "Don't worry I won't" Kaori raised her eyebrows as Sora kept pulling her and pinching her cheeks. "Not yet at least" Kaori flinched and freed herself from Sora.

"You still owe me for writing my name and a somewhat fake love interest"

Sora patted the pouting Kaori who eventually stood up and signalled him that they would start practicing again soon.
