Chapter 3: Biology and Music go Together
*sigh* If you already know the warnings, just skip to where the story starts. Mature content, rated R for profane language and reference to s*x. This is Yaoi, you have been warned.. ShadowXVio are the main couple, BlueXRed are the sub-main. Green is a loner, he's still cool though.
-------------------------------
"Biology is boring." Blue mumbled to himself, poking a microscope. "It's disgusting too. I didn't know my onions had living things in it. I mean, it's all squirming and all that. Ew."
Red, who was Blue's Biology class partner spoke up, "A cell is the fundemental unit of life! Cell biology studies the physiological properties of cells, along with their behaviors, interactions, and environment!"
"Good good Red! Very nice for the first day of school!" His biology teacher greatly praised.
(The paragraph below is just some facts from Wikipedia. Skip it if you want.)
"Molecular biology is the study of biology at a molecular level. This field overlaps with other areas of biology, particularly with genetics and biochemistry. Molecular biology chiefly concerns itself with understanding the interactions between the various systems of a cell, including the interrelationship of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis and learning how these interactions are regulated. Cell biology studies the physiological properties of cells, as well as their behaviors, interactions, and environment. This is done both on a microscopic and molecular level. Cell biology researches both single-celled organisms like bacteria and specialized cells in multicellular organisms like humans. Understanding cell composition and how they function is fundamental to all of the biological sciences. Appreciating the similarities and differences between cell types is particularly important in the fields of cell and molecular biology. These fundamental similarities and differences provide a unifying theme, allowing the principles learned from studying one cell type to be extrapolated and generalized to other cell types. Genetics is the science of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms. Genes encode the information necessary for synthesizing proteins, which in turn play a large role in influencing the final phenotype of the organism. In modern research, genetics provides important tools in the investigation of the function of a particular gene, or the analysis of genetic interactions. Within organisms, genetic information generally is carried in chromosomes, where it is represented in the chemical structure of particular DNA molecules." Vio answered smoothly.
"Holy shit!" Red gasped.
"OH GOD! MY POOR HEAD!" Blue screamed, grabbing a lock of his hair.
The biology teacher fell backwards on the floor, greatly in shock. "W-who are you?! A genius?!"
"Thats my Vio!" Shadow hugged Vio, licking his earlobe.
Vio shivered at the contact, getting aroused. "S-shadow..."
"Okay! Me and Vio need to go to the bathroom." Shadow quickly said.
Their teacher stood up, fixing his glasses, "Well, you obviously know enough to pass as a senior, go ahead."
"Sweet! Lets go!" Shadow quickly grabbed the still aroused Vio and rushed out of the room.
"Only God knows what they're doing now..." Blue mumbled.
"Ahem, well then. I know one person who is getting an A in Biology, how about the rest of ya? Now get your books out to page thirty-one and start reading from there, um...Blue Harada." The teacher spoke.
"Damn..." Blue got his book out and started reading.
----------------------------------
"Okay this is bull shit." Green hissed. "First day of school and I'm already in the infirmary, for the SECOND time!" He slammed his head onto his pillow.
Tsuna sat up from his seat, "At least you get to lay down, I have to sit on a chair."
"You're not the one who hit a bus." Green glared.
Tsuna innocently stared at him with his big yellow eyes, "By the sounds of that, I feel bad for the bus."
"Shut up."
-----------------------------------
Riiing! The bell for seventh period rang.
"Alright students! This is Piano Class! Where you will learn the magestic beauty of the flow of music coming from the keys of black and white. Where your soul finds harmony through the melodic phrases that you will learn here, are you ready for the wonderous experie-" The teacher was cut off by Blue.
"Melodic beauty my ass, I just signed up so I could bang on something for an hour." He answered honestly.
"My! Seems like we have a rebel here!" She spoke sternly, "Well...since this class is made up of all grades, would any of you show...Blue Harada, is it? The feeling of true beauty?"
BANG! Shadow and Vio collapsed at the door.
"I-I can p-play the pianooo..." Shadow raised a weak hand, getting up slowly, helping Vio up as well.
"You're late Shadow Katsui and Vio Yanai! You're late on the first day of school! What is your excuse?" She asked quickly.
"S*x." Shadow answered honestly. "We were doing it in the bathroom. Oh and, you might want to send the janitor in there before someone slips on Vio's-"
Vio clasped his hands on Shadow's mouth. "Just go play the piano! She doesn't need to know all of that! Idiot!" He answered madly, but cutely.
"Fine fine, for you my love, for you." He got up and casually walked towards a grand piano. "Ah, Steinway and Sons, Grand Piano, with keys made of ivory, my favorite." He sat down and placed his hands gently on the keys. "This piece is called Piano Concerto #2 by Rochmaninov, normally played in an orchestra, but still very beautiful..."
"Enjoy." As he said those last words, his hands became possessed with a musical genius. Those who never would have guess that the same hands used to hold swords and slayed people.
It started with a minor chord(1) with the left hand playing a single low note, gradually moving into a cresendo(2). Then the runs start, his right hand playing minor scales while the left continued to storm low notes. As he continued the runs, they slowly became major, the right hand playing solo notes, while the left supported the right with runs. As this continued, it became minor again. Then! His hands shifted more upwards on the piano, slowly decending and all of the sudden, chords! Major and minor chords mixed to create a sensational feeling and anticipation. The right hand now has a European melody, playing harmonics(3) in the minor scales as the left hand played notes from the same chord, making an intertwining destiny for both hands. Shadow's body moved simultaneously with his hands, passionately hitting the keys dead on with accuracy. Swaying back and forth, swinging his head along with the strong chords. All of the sudden, he stopped. Everything stopped. He turned his head to his class, smiling.
"You like?" He grinned.
"...Bravo..." Their teacher's voice cracked, then turned into soft cries. "Truely beautiful..."
---------------------------------
(1) Well, I'm not sure how many of you know what a chord is, but it's basically a serious of notes played simultaneously.
(2) Cresendo means to gradually get louder.
(3) Harmonics is hard to describe, because the one I used doesn't refer to the word harmony its self. There is a scale called the 'Harmonic Minor Scale' Which raises the 6th and 7th of a minor scale. It gives it a European feeling.

Hauu13 *sweat drops* I totally forgot about marching band! I mean, how stupid am I? I actually GO to marching band! I play the flute =D. I'll change piano class to marching band! And yeah, I'll add definitions and stuff >.<! I'm just a musical freak like that.

As usual, great chapter! I really like this story and your sense of humor is genius! You've made me laugh more times than I can remember.
