Entranced

A/N: This is my first Takeru/Kotoha. Enjoy! And Takeru/Mako and Chiaki/Kotoha people, please don't hate!

The soft melody danced through the night. The sound...it made him come to the window to find her there. It was official: Takeru was entranced by Kotoha's flute playing.

It relieved him. It made him...love her the way she was.

Takeru and Kotoha had differences, for she was the loyal little vassal, and Takeru was the serious lord in her life. She had innocence, he was cold blooded. But for all they knew, there was no line to be crossed between them, but everything was surely about to change.

Kotoha was a delicate soul, very bright-heartened, and she lit up the Shinkengers' days without even trying. Takeru made everything very serious, and even he made himself uncomfortable when he spoke sometimes. But the advantage was this: she looked up to him. He liked her in a way that was too forbidden. However, they complemented each other when they were together. He took care of her. He looked out for her. And it return, she soothed him with her flute playing, even though he was going by this unnoticed. He found listening to her music a habit, and wanted to know if Kotoha had a place for him in her heart as he had one for her.

Takeru Shiba wasn't just entranced by Kotoha Hanaori. He was in love with her.

Well, I hope all of you enjoyed this very short Oneshot. Please read and review, too!
