The music Hall is located on the left side of the courtyard, right next to the training hall. Its a plain looking building on the outside, but dazzling on the inside. The floor is entirely stained cherry wood. There is a stage at the far end of the building, a band pit directly in front of that, and large circular tables set up along the walls. They are bare at the moment, but during functions they are covered in pure white table cloths and fine tableware. Large stained glass windows stretch from the floor to the ceiling, and elegant chandeliers hang two by two down the entire length of the room.

On her way to one of her classes, James decided to stop in to the music hall, not knowing what it was. She entered quietly and made her way to the middle of the hall. She gazed around the room and making sure that no one was around to hear or see her, James began to sing a sweet little lullaby that her mother had taught her when she was younger. It sounded so beautiful in the music hall. Her eyes lit up as she finished her song and climbed up on the stage to imagine herself performing there. Once she had sung her song again, James climbed off the stage laughing to herself. How silly she must have looked. James felt just like a little school and then realizing that she was a school girl laughed heartily at her foolishness. James turned a few cartwheels as she made her way out the door, realizing that if she procrastinated too much, she would be late to class.

Ryuka pushed open the heavy wooden doors, which creaked under the seldom used stress. Just as she thought, the building was empty. She spotted the stage at the opposite end of the room and meandered over there, taking in the large stain glass windows and glitzy chandeliers along the way. Once she reached the stage she climbed up onto it and walked around in a circle, her shoes making a clomping noise with each step. When she reached the edge of the stage the band pit that sunk into the floor a good 2 feet became glaringly obvious.
"Perfect. A hole to hide in..." Ryu jumped off the edge of the stage down into the band pit, her skirt flying up in the process to reveal her red panties. She was always more relaxed when she was alone nowadays. She found the spot in the middle and sat down, leaning her back against the cover wall, completely out of sight now. She closed her eyes and began to hum, trying to keep he mind blanc. Not thinking about anything seemed to be the only way to keep the tears away.

After about...30 minutes of sobbing, Gin finally left his Dorm room. Music was the only thing he could think of doing to calm himself down, as it always gave him an emotional outlet. He hadn't needed to play in about an entire year, and this was the first time in a long time that he would. After takng the long route down to the music hall, he opened the doors. He reached into his pocket, then pulled out a small keychain shapedlike a miniature guitar. From the looks of it, it was a black Gibson SG special. Ginseku gripped it in his hands roughly for a minute, Speaking under his breath. After several more minutes, he tossed the keychain up into the air and concentrated all of his thoughts onto the guitar. It burst silently into smoke, then fell back into his hands as an actual guitar. Strap included. He moved don to a band chair, taking a seat silently. He pulled out a blue 1Milimeter pick ands began to softly strum to strings of the guitar. HE plucked along, each note bending to create a soft crying sound that, in essence, imitated an opera chorus. they spoke of sorrow among angels, chaos. Loss. Pain.

Ryu's eyes snapped open when she heard footsteps heading toward her. She remained motionless as the person took a seat at the far end of the band pit. Luckily she was still obscured by the swarm of chairs. She closed her eyes again when the guitar's sad song filled the hollow air of the hall. For some reason the song struck a chord deep within her. Silently tears rolled down her cheeks. Just hearing that sad tune made her want to curl up in a little ball and cry. Ryu pulled her knees up to her chin and wrapped her arms around them, accidentally bumping a chair in the process.

Ginseku's head snapped to the side, looking to see what made the noise. He didn't stop playing, however; His hands kept moving. The song continued without a hitch. Though...He was putting the strap on between short pauses, and now he was getting up very quietly to make his way over to the band pit.

Ryu didn't notice the man walking over toward her hiding spot. She just sat there, rocking back and forth gently, the tears never ceasing. Her mind was caving in on itself again, just as it did just a few short months ago, drawing her into it's inky abyss of despair.

Gin stepped ever so quietly up the steps, hitting a last riff right as he reached the top. Looking down into the band pit blankly, he took his hands from his guitar and immediately grasped the pair of necklaces around his neck. It couldn't be...Could it? "....Ryu?"

Ryu's eyes slid open slowly, her rocking coming to a stop. She stared blankly up at him, a scowl creasing her perfect features and her eyes glazed over, lifeless.
"Who are you?" She asked flatly, tears still sliding down her soft cheeks.
"How do you know my name?" There was no recognition there, not even a glimmer a familiarity smothered deep in those words. He was just another person to her now, just another face in the crowd.

That was heart breaking, earthshattering even for him. But he didn't show it. It wasn't the time. "...This oughta help." He took his hands away from the necklaces, and removed her own. He very slowly made his way to her, as not to frighten her, and placed the necklace next to her.

Ryu reached out and snatched the necklace off the ground, brining it close to her face. When her eyes fell on the black onyx cross, they widened, almost frightened looking.
"How did you get this..." She asked lamely, despite the look of horror mixed with pain on her face. One hand shot up to her head, clutching at her temple.

"I took it from...The man who claimed to kill my friend. After I...killed him..." He looked away, slightly ashamed of his murder. It was necessary, though avoidable, that he kill the man. He could simply chopped off his arms and legs, but that wouldnt prevent him from getting automail.

Ryu clutched both hands to her head now, as if his words were making her mind catch fire.
"You..." She mumbled, pulling her legs in even closer.
"You... You knew me... I... I knew you..." These words sounded as if they were being forced out of her with extreme pain.
"NO!" Ryu suddenly shouted that so loud it echoed down the hall. Her whole body began to glow and become transparent, yet not disapearing all together. She just kept chanting no no no over and over, as if it would make what ever pained her go away.

He just reached out in an attempt to softly hold her, moving his arms out to grasp her. (dunnp if you meant transparent as in ghosty, so im just gonna do this. post what happens)

As soon as he touched her, the chanting stopped. Slowly the glow went away and her body returned to normal. Ryu sat still for a moment.
"Oh Ginseku..." A fresh wave of tears streamed down her cheeks as she wrapped her arms around his waist and burried her face in his chest sobbing.
"Why did you leave me?" She managed to choke out in between sobs.
