jychan: Hello everyone! I missed you all! And here goes nothing! I don't own Ouran High School Host Club, but I do own Akiko! The First Chapter to the Sequel of Cappuccino, Iced Coffee, here goes nothing!

1. The Song

Currently, I, Namikawa Akiko, am going to a Public High School.

And no, there's no heiress to the Namikawa Zaibatsu already.

I'm not anymore the heiress to the Namikawa Zaibatsu, which has fallen for some weeks now and that's why, I am going to a Public High School.

As much as I dislike it, I have to go to a Public High School so that I could finish my studies. In which, hopefully, I could get to a University and finish college so that I could directly work and polish this distasteful life I already have.

You wanted to ask me why and what happened to the Namikawa Zaibatsu?

Oh. There is one thing I can say.

Remind me to kill the person behind the downfall of the Namikawa Zaibatsu.

And oh. It's none other than, my aunt herself, Yamazaki Akina.

And no, I don't know her at all. From what Otou-sama said she was an 'exiled' member of the family after selling off some properties of the Namikawa Family to its enemies. She was the eldest of the family. The most favorite daughter of my late Ojii-sama and Obaa-sama. But then, like I said earlier, when she sold off some properties, she was exiled from the family.

Exiled you mean? Exiled, meaning the black sheep. The one who everyone portrays anger and hate. Even Otou-sama who's very... hmmm.. what's the right word, obnoxious, seems to hate her for it.

I looked at the window. Wait a minute. Isn't that the sensei?

Why is he late?

Oh geesh. The sensei is so late.

This is why I hate going to schools like this. Even the sensei-tachi aren't punctual and conscious of the time.

"Namikawa-chan, have you finished your assignment?"

I turned to my side.

It was Ikeda Mayu.

"Hai, Ikeda-san."

"Mou, I so envy you Namikawa-chan. I had a hard time with my assignment. Although I was able to finish it."

She grumbled as I nodded.

Of course. I have taken up all these lessons in the past. When I was still in Ouran.

"You're so good in everything and you're so fluent with English!"

She added as I continued on nodding.

I also had to learn English before since I had to get used to speaking with it, if ever I get to speak with business partners, when I was still an Heiress, that is.

I sighed on the thought.

Why did that woman have to get back with us like this?

It's not our fault why she was banished from the clan.

Who in the world with a proper sane would be selling out properties, more or less, to enemies?

Geesh. What a baka person.

Baka onna.

I frowned.

"Eh? Namikawa-chan? Are you angry with all my grumbles?"

I was back to reality.

"Iee. I'm not. I was just listening to you patiently."

"Sou ka. Oh well, where's the sensei already?"

"Ah! Gomen nassai! Gomen nassai! Gomen nassai! I woke up late."

Baka sensei went in and all of us stood up and greeted him and sat down again, after his conscent,

Woke up late.

Is that even an acceptable excuse?

Seriously. I don't know with this people.

I was rather thinking that commoners hate to waste their time that's why they have instant kinds of coffee.

And what's more!

Shouldn't he speak in English since the subject's in English?

I sighed as I took my book from my bag.

I don't like it here. I have taken up all the lesson here already. Can't they just accelerate me or give me some diploma?

I'm getting tired here!

I sighed once again as I opened the book to the page assigned,

Normal POV

The day went by and Akiko was already bored with her classes.

"Namikawa-chan, would you read Paragraph 5, page 16 and also answer Question Number 1?"

The sensei called on Akiko, who reluctantly stood up and read,

"Dogs are man's best friend. It is because they are the ones that humans could easily get along with. They are loyal to their owners and they also protect them from harm. They are also animals that would cause less harm. There are different of kinds of dogs.

Question Number 1... What is the misfit sentence? The answer is the last sentence. It is because it gets away from the subject or Topic Sentence which is the First Sentence or 'Dogs are man's best friend.'"

She spoke in English as everyone was looking with awe on her.

"Beri gudo. Beri gudo."

The sensei said as Akiko rolled her eyes and sat down,

'What's with his English?'

She thought as she sighed,

The day continued fine and she was totally tired from the day. It was more exhausting than when she was in Ouran.

She went to the place where she had a part-time job. And yes, she does part-time jobs. Since, it is totally needed with how low their new income is.

"Okami-san, I'm so sorry for being late. I was in-charge of the cleaning today."

Akiko said as she went inside an instrument store,

"Maa, maa, Akiko-chan, it's OK. It's OK. I understand. And you already told me yesterday, right?"

"Ah, hai. I'll dress up now."

Akiko said as she went inside a room and dressed up in a casual attire,

"Saa, Akiko-chan, why don't you play the Piano or probably, the violin to loosen up. I'm sure you're quite tired. I also would want to hear different songs from you."

The lady said as Akiko took a violin from a case and played some songs.

Kyouya, who had just gone off from the Hosting, had to go to a store as the next day, Tamaki has decided to have the theme of Music. And so, he had to go to an old shop to buy some things or rather, instruments that they could use for tomorrow.

He heard some sound.

A faint sound from a violin, wherein the song that was played was rather familiar to Kyouya's ears.

"Good. Now, I'll just play hmmm... Come Back To Sorrento."

Kyouya remembered the title that she had once told them.

He went inside the store to see a girl playing.

And it was no ordinary girl.

It was the girl that he had been looking for a month.

"Eh? Kyouya..."

jychan: And that was Chapter 1! I'm back minna-san! And that was the first chaptie from Iced Coffee, the sequel of Cappuccino. How'd it go? The reason earlier was so much in general, noh! I'll try to expand it further in a matter of days... And also, the bold earlier was in English. OK?
