Kaitos hands were numb as the flute, back in its place within his coat, was all but forgetten as great lung fulls of air were sucked in desperately as he struggled to overcome the lingering terror. What a fool to have offered aid to someone that could have crushed him like an insignificant bug. It was too mucb and Kaito knew it, fumbling with the guitar he had put down to help Mari. That action coupled with his naivty coulf have been the final nail in his coffin but the support of Hikaro and Houki had saved him. 
Their bravery and sacrifice were the coin paying for his chance to... 

[i]chance to what.. run? They'll feel it too. That horrible weight. That terror..[/i]

Knuckles clenched tight at his side, Kaito scolded himself for the weakness and disappointment no doubt his grandfather would feel. Everyone deserved better and Kaito had failed to deliver, but it wasn't over yet.
Scooping up the guitar and amp, now facing towards where the woman had sped off to, the music came alive. Whether it was from fear or courage he could not tell.

[color=00aeef]"the spirit never dies, let the music take you higher
I know what it means to burn
That's how I began to learn
So never give up, never give in
Rise from the fire if you're gonna win
Sing with your soul, soon you'll be old
Fight the demons inside you
There is no limit to what can be done
Climb every mountain with power so strong
Dusty roads on the way, leaving the past behind you!"[/color]

The amp volume was turned to its maximum, the sound of his voice couldn't carry without a microphone but he threw his voice far as possible, dreading the fact that he had to sing but ignoring the voice of doubt in his mind, focused on nothing but the noise. The harmonyof music flooding the air.
Hopefully it was enough to take the edge from that scary womans oppressive aura.
POWER CHORD buzzed in his chest as the performance began and with luck, Kaito could pass it on to one of the students fighting ans throw in to the support efforts of the dummies.
One step at a time.
