A/N Hello everyone! So... This fic has been stuck inside my mind and won't let me continue my DurararaFic... so... here we are! This is (I hope) going to be much shorter than the DuraFic, so I decided to let my fingers do what they want since they're itching me to write this down and then I'll continue with the DuraFic! I hope we'll all have fun with this... as much as we can... I'll put a lot of mental issues in this fic, so you might not want to read this! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Though, to be fair, I'm not mocking the characters, but actually I sympathise with them, since the reason I'm a slow updater is because I'm in and out of doctors offices... ANYWAY I'LL STOP THE RAMBLING!

Disclaimer: Kuroko no Basuke does NOT belong to me, but I claim all rights of my OC, Masato Megumi-chan!

Warnings: Mental illnesses such as OCD, DID and so on will be the reasons behind everything happening on this fic, so the characters are (naturally) not stable... There will also be violence in some parts (both physical and mental)... Let's see... what else... I think that is all, I'll post to later chapters if I remember anything

I hope you guys will actually enjoy this ride, cause I'm excited to finally write about this!

"Akashi-sama! Here's your towel!" I exclaimed, giving the redhead captain his towel during a time out at practice.

My name is Masato Megumi and this is the story of how I became Akashi-sama's personal assistant.

She was running for school. Late, even though she thought that she couldn't be more late than she already was. She enrolled in Teikou middle school late, because she has a weak body and happened to be hospitalized at the beginning of the semester.

So, she was running, toast in mouth, when she fell onto a car door that was opened and she fell backwards on her hips and her precious breakfast was thrown on the ground.

"It huuuuuurts!" She exclaimed

"I'm very sorry, I wasn't looking before opening the door. Are you ok?" She heard a voice. She looked up to see flaming red hair and eyes staring at her in concern and a hand outstretched to help her up.

The boy in front of her took in her appearance. She was a short girl, shorter than him. Her body was too slim, almost as if she was sick. Her hair was just above her shoulders, but it looked weak as well, and had a pale brownish colour. Her eyes were the same pale colour. After scrutinizing her appearance, he noted that he didn't know this girl. He was very sure, he's never seen her before.

She gladly took on his offer and was raised on her feet. Her toast had fallen to the ground and she picked it up in shame. She sighed and put it in a plastic bag to discard it later. She, then, returned her attention to the redhead that was staring at her.

"Thank you very much for your help! I'm sorry for bumping onto your door" She bowed down and apologised.

His first impression of her was that she had very good manners. Any other girl would have probably given him a piece of her mind by now. Instead, he got an apology, even though she didn't do anything wrong "There's no need to apologise. I should have been more careful. This is Teikou uniform, am I right?" He asked

Taking a closer look, she noticed that he was wearing the male version of the same uniform "Ah, yes. My name is Masato Megumi. I'm a first year. I'm pleased to meet you" She bowed again, this time only a little.

"My name is Akashi Seijuurou" He bowed as well "Are you transferring? I haven't seen you around before. I'm also a first year, by the way"

At that, she remembered that she was already late, without bumping onto him "Oh my God! I'm going to be so late on my first day!" She shouted, looking at her wrist watch, which read 7:57 by the way

"I believe you're very early, actually" He commended "It's 3 minutes to 7… you still have half an hour until you meet your homeroom teacher, if I remember the rules correctly" He informed, puzzled at the girl's behaviour.

"But it's almost 8! Look!"

He held her wrist, trying to get a closer look at her watch. That made her heart race a little. He was close. There was contact.

He is handsome and this is her first day at school. He has a limousine. What if he's some kind of super idol? I can't just walk in with him!

"Do not worry, your clock is just one hour ahead" He said, already fixing it.

"How do you know that my clock is the one that's wrong?" She asked

"Because I'm always right" He replied as he was finished, but never let go of her wrist "Well then, let's go. You can watch the morning practice and I'll take you to your homeroom teacher, after that" He said, already walking and dragging her behind him. If it was her first day, it would only be appropriate to show her around the building.

"W-wait a minute, we can't just barge in together like that!"

"I'm absolute, I do whatever I want. Be grateful that your first day is going to be with me. I'll replace your breakfast too"

Well, now everything makes sense. He's rich and has a big idea about himself. Typical, rich, spoiled-

"Are you listening to me?"

"Eh?"

"I asked what your preference is" He said and she noticed that they were in front of a vending machine.

"Oh…" She examined the choices… "Kibidango sounds nice" She said as she reached for her wallet. She heard the sound of the machine being activated and turned her attention to it, only to have her hand grabbed by him, putting the snack in her palm.
"Uhhm… Ahhh… Thank you very much... You didn't have to pay for it. Here, I'll give you-"

"Save it… Who do you think you're standing next to? I'm an Akashi. I'd never have a woman I accompany pay" He said as he turned his back on her with closed eyes. The nerve this female had!

That… That was so cool… She thought

She remained there, staring, as he started walking again

"Do I have to hold you by the hand all the time?" He smirked "You're with me until I take you to your homeroom teacher. Don't fall behind" He commanded

"H-Hay!" She exclaimed and run to him, in order to be by his side, at which moment, he held her palm again

The gym was huge… She couldn't keep her mouth closed as she was looking around, admiring the greatness of it. She knew that her school had a great basketball club, but she never imagined anything close to this.

She felt a hand below her chin, forcing her mouth to close "Don't stare around like that. It's rude" He whispered and then smiled "Is this your first time at a prestigious school?"

The first second, she thought he was mocking her, but his smile was… amused? Or maybe interested? As if he was studying her "The primary school I attended was public… I had heard that Teikou was great in comparison to other schools, but… In my two months at the hospital, I never imagined anything like that"

"So, you're not a transfer student?" He asked, frowning "More importantly, you were hospitalised that long… did anything happen to you?" Those red eyes that burned like fire, were now clouded with worry. She didn't know why, this sudden change… she didn't like it.

"Oye, Akashi!"

"Aka-chin, good morning~"

"Good morning, Akashi"

There stood three boys, all very tall in comparison to Akashi. One had blue hair, the second had purple hair and was eating snacks and the third was green haired and was holding a microphone with his right hand for some reason.

"Good morning, everyone. I'm sorry for being late" Akashi bowed

"Oh~ that's Kibidango isn't it~?" The purple haired boy asked Megumi "You like old school snacks~ Reminds me of Aka-chin~"

She remained silent, not knowing how to respond, so she just nodded

"Oye, Akashi! Why are you holding her hand?" The blue haired boy asked

"He obviously has his reasons, Aomine. He doesn't have to answer to the likes of you for such a trivial matter" The green haired one responded

"U-Uhhm… Akashi-san" She looked at him in worry.

Akashi sighed "There's no need to get on each other's throats for such trivial matters Daiki, Shintarou. This" He said, bringing her in front of him "This is Masato Megumi. Due to various circumstances, she couldn't attend school until now. I'll be showing her around. Report to the captain for me"

At that moment, Megumi was grateful… He didn't mention that she was in the hospital and respected her privacy on the matter. "U-uhhm… Nice to meet all of you!" She bowed down "I'm Masato Megumi!"

"The name's Aomine Daiki. Are you Akashi's girl?" The blue haired boy introduced himself.

His question was too straight forward and made her very embarrassed

"Daiki!" Akashi glared at him and, at that moment, she was terrified as well

"Got it, got it… Sorry to disturb the princess" Aomine looked away. Megumi thought it was safe for everyone not to comment on the fact she was called a princess.

"My name is Midorima Shintarou. Pleased to be acquainted with you" The green haired boy introduced himself and bowed

That made her bow in return "T-The pleasure is all mine"

"Murasakibara Atsushi~ I like snacks~ Here~ Have some pocky~ You look like a good girl~" The purple haired boy said, while handing her a pocky and patting her head as if she was a kid

"Uhm… I'd give you some of mine but… It's all one piece. I'll buy you something next time we meet" She said in return with a smile.

"Ehehe~ I wonder what's it gonna be~" He smiled

Akashi was smiling gently at their exchange, and Megumi smiled at him as well and once again bowed to him "Thank you so much… I was nervous that I couldn't fit in after missing the first two months of junior high… I'm very grateful!"

"Raise your head!" He commanded and she stood straight "You have no one to thank but yourself. Your personality is what helps you make friends, not me"

Once again, Megumi thought that this person was very cool, even though he had a huge idea about himself, he was amazing and she couldn't deny it. "Hay!" She smiled excitedly

Akashi-san opened the door to the teacher's office, our last station of the school tour for today. Everyone turned on attention for some reason. As we walked around the school, I figured that Akashi-san had great influence over everyone, but to think that even the teachers were like that…

"This is Masato Megumi. I have brought her here to meet her homeroom teacher" He said

"That would be me, Akashi-kun" A tall woman, with long brown hair and red coloured glasses greeted us "My name is Yamakawa Ruri and I'm your homeroom teacher. Nice to meet you Masato-chan" She smiled brightly.

"Well then, I'll take my leave now. I'll see you around, Masato Megumi-san" He said and left the office

"You've met a very interesting person there" Yamakawa-sensei commended, watching as I couldn't stop staring at the door

Suddenly, I was feeling restless again. I was hoping he'd come back, or that we'd at least be at the same class. I was back to my anxious mood without him holding me by the hand. Such a child… I'm sure Akashi-san doesn't like this type of girl I thought and got a bit more depressed

"Well then, how about we get to know each other? You're very shy, aren't you?" She asked me, trying to start a conversation, but I only kept looking at the door "Do you want me to call him back here?" She asked again

For a moment, I was about to answer that, yes, I wanted him back, but then I mentally slapped myself Get over yourself Megumi! You're 12 years old! You don't want Akashi-san to think you're a baby! "No, it's ok. I can do it myself. I'm sure he'd find it troublesome. He already skipped his morning practice for me" I said and looked at my palm. It was cold without his holding it, but I could do it. I would become strong and independent, in order to impress him

"That's very nice of you. Let's get to the point then!" She smiled encouragingly

"My name is Masato Megumi. Due to various circumstances I couldn't attend school earlier. I hope I can still make friends with everyone" I said, giving a slight bow to introduce myself and scanned the room for a certain read-haired boy. He's not here… I thought in disappointment Oh! That's Aomine-san! Aw, but the sit next to him is taken. Such a pretty girl…

"Sensei~ Masa-chin can sit next to me~" I heard a familiar voice from the back

"Murasakibara-san!" I exclaimed in happiness and took the sit next to him

"Are you sure it's going to be ok? Can you see the blackboard?" The teacher asked and, in all honesty, I couldn't care less. I wanted to be next to someone familiar, that's all

"Yes, ma'am!" I smiled at Murasakibara-san "Nice to see you again!" I whispered

"hehe~ You can call me Atsushi~" He whispered back

"Then, you can call me Megumi"

Lunch break. I was about to unwrap my bento box, but Atsu-kun prevented me

"Wanna have lunch with me and the others~?" He asked

I grinned "Is it ok?" I asked in return

"I'm sure Aka-chin is going to be happy~" He said

"Akashi-san will be there too?" I blushed a little

"Kawaii~ Come on, follow me~" He took my bento box, along with his, and lead the way

Atsu-kun lead us to the rooftop and I opened the door for us, since he was holding our bentos. There, already seated, were Akashi-san, Aomine-san, the pink haired girl from before, a white haired guy and a black haired guy. Atsu-kun took a seat next to them and motioned for me to do the same.

"Megu-chin is my partner in class~" Was the first thing he said

Everyone turned their attention to me, except Aomine-san and the pink haired girl, who already knew.

"Is that true, Masato Megumi?" Akashi-san perked up in question

I tensed, not just from the sound of his voice being directed at me, but also because he called me by my full name, reminding me that there's a fair distance between us… the lack of familiarity... Well, he does live in a different world than me… He's rich and popular and I'm… just someone who was late because I was hospitalized… My family is nothing like his, nor my status…

In my gloom, I just nodded in response. He was looking intently at me, as if reading my thoughts, but before he could say anything

"Aka-chin, you're so cold~ Megu-chin was depressed without you all day~" Atsu-kun spoke first. I tensed, this time visibly. He, seriously, didn't have to say that. Especially in front of him!

"Yea… She was practically scanning the whole classroom looking for you" Aomine-san joined in the conversation. He didn't have to say that either! Now I couldn't look Akashi-san in the eyes! No… I couldn't look anywhere but my bento, which was at the same direction as the floor, by the way! My blush was definitely visible

"I think that is enough, Atsushi, Daiki… You're making her feel uncomfortable on her first day!" Akashi's strict voice was heard. Aomine yelped, but Megumi didn't hear any reaction from Murasakibara. She was instantly worried for the two, for whatever reasons she didn't know about, but it's not like they did something bad!

"Uhm… Akashi-san, I-"

"You shouldn't be so dependent on others, Masato Megumi! You need to stand on your own two feet!" He scolded her

"Akashi-kun!"/ "Oye, Akashi!" The pink haired girl and Midorima tried to intervene

"No, it's ok guys. He's absolutely right. I should be stronger than that. She stopped them. "It's not like I asked for your help though… You got mixed up on your own, Akashi-san" She said, just to make clear.

"What was that?" Akashi asked, glaring at her. She could already feel like she was shrinking, but she knew she was right, she had to stand her ground, like he said.

"I said that I never asked for anyone's help. Sure, I felt uncomfortable, but I never asked anyone to help me" She said, as proudly as she could, if only to show him that she was not as weak as he thought

"You should be thanking me that I did" He said, narrowing his eyes

"Well, thank you, but I could have taken care of myself" She pouted

"You were just going to stay silent and endure everything" He accused "That's not 'taking care of yourself'"

She was taken aback… True, that was her plan of action, but things weren't so bad. It's not like someone was bullying her, so she didn't feel the need to fight back. She'd just let it pass as a joke.

"It's true isn't it?"

"So what?!" Everyone flinched from her outburst. They knew that the red haired boy is not to be defied. They all shared the thought that the new girl is stupidly brave "It's not like I had to defend myself! They were just teasing me! They weren't trying to cause harm!" She shouted at him

His eyes grew wide. He wasn't used to have someone talk back to him. How dare that girl! "You're just stupid and weak! Just because 'they're not trying to actually harm you' doesn't mean you should just let them say whatever they want! Grow up and learn when to defend yourself already!"

Everyone was silenced. Wide eyed. Akashi never had to shout before. Megumi was frozen in place. He's right… I know he's right… But I'm not wrong either! But… Nothing will come out of my mouth…

"Akachin~!" Murasakibara was about to argue

"It's ok, Atsu-kun. I should be stronger than that. He's right" I stopped him. She was barely able to use her voice, but she still did, with her eyes almost in tears but with a huge smile as well.

She's strong… Everyone thought She made Akashi mad, suffered the consequences and she's still smiling!

"Oye, Aka-chin~ I don't like the way you speak to Megu-chin either~ I'm taking her out of here~" Murasakibara got up, grabbed her wrist and dragged her away from the group. Megumi felt a deferent hand grabbing her other wrist, stopping them.

"Who gave you permission to go?" Akashi asked strictly

"I don't need it~" Murasakibara answered. Megumi grew nervous. She just stopped fighting with him. It's not good to agitate him once more

"She's not to leave my side until the break is over" The red eyed commanded

"Aka-chin is mean to her~ I don't like it~" The purple haired answered

This is bad… She was thinking

"Do not question me, Atsushi! We are to be left alone!" Akashi declared and dragged her to a different part of the rooftop.

"Stay here and don't move from that spot!" He commanded again and went back to where the others were, only to return with their bentos. "Eat up"

Well… somebody is grumpy and loves to give commands. She started eating again, anyway. Pouting.

While eating in awkward silence, his chopsticks found their way into her box and stole some of her food. "This is surprisingly tasty" He commended

"I'll take that as an insult" She replied moodily "I didn't know I look like such a bad cook"

Ruby widened and stared at pale brown in awe "You're the one who made this?!"

"I am…" She grumbled. Seriously, he was very insulting and, thankfully, he seemed to notice that

"My apologies, I did not mean to offend you. I'm used to my maids preparing my meals" He explained

"That's why I don't like people like you, no offence. You always have everything ready on a silver plate. Your paths are set in front of you… I had to work hard in order to get a scholarship" At that, his eyes grew big again and he remained silent.

"I am very sorry. I respect people like you, who put great efforts in order to accomplish their goals, without depending on anyone" Megumi looked at him in the eyes. He was dead serious. She blushed, suddenly her moodiness fading away.

"T-Thank you" She looked down

He smiled, all negative feelings disappearing between them, and he patted her head

Getting caught up in the atmosphere, Megumi started confessing the feelings she's gathered the whole day "Actually, today I caught myself having very weak thoughts" She rumpled Ahh… That's not good… I mustn't speak about that in front of him. But she couldn't help it. Her mouth kept talking on its own, as if it was another being entirely "In the morning I wished you wouldn't leave me on my own… Then, I was hoping we'd end up in the same class, which never happened… and then, when you defended me, in that one moment, I wished you'd always protect me" She stole a glance at him for a second and realised she had said far more than necessary, even though his expression hadn't changed much "W-What is wrong with me?" She asked, putting her hand on her forehead "I'm never like that… I don't understand" She tried to chuckle it off.

"I believe you are mistaken, Masato Megumi" She looked up at him in surprise "The power to, not only realise, but also speak honestly of your true feelings, is not a weakness, so don't ever think of yourself like that again. Even without me, you went through this day with no issues. I respect you and feel envy for your strength, Masato Megumi"

She looked up at him in awe, blushing… but she was a bit annoyed at the same time.

"Could you, please, not call me like that? I do not like the distance you purposefully keep between us" She pleaded

"I understand… Will Masato-san suffice?" He asked

She hesitated for a moment, but nodded. I'm calling him by his last name too, after all.

"Then, how about Megumi-chan?" He asked again, taking her by surprise, making her look at him wide eyed, only to notice the blush on his cheeks. He was trying to be bold and she found it cute.

"I… I like it" She said, before she could stop herself, becoming as red as his hair

"Then, you should call me by my first name as well" He requested "I want to hear it"

She blushed even more. I-it's only fair! She thought, trying to calm herself

"S-Sei-"

"Oye, Akashi! How long are you two planning to stay separated, nanodayo?!" Midorima interrupted her, making her lose all the courage she had managed to gather.

Akashi glared at the green haired boy, but soon smirked "Thank you, Shintarou… You came right on time" He said, leaving Midorima baffled as to what he was thanking him for "But this afternoon I would like to spend my time relaxing with Megumi"

Green eyes shot daggers at pale brown "I understand. See you in class" and with that, he left.

Akashi leaned closer to her and spoke softly "You see, Shintarou has a bad case of OCD, so he finds it annoying that his normal routine was disrupted" He smirked

"He definitely hates me now" She sighed

"He'll get over it… a change of pace is good, every now and then" He stretched and took the liberty to put away both their bentos and then lied down on her lap with closed eyes.

"A-Uhm… Akashi-san-" He opened his eyes, just to glare at her

"S-Seijuurou-san" She attempted to correct, but his glare became more menacing and she froze

"That's not what we agreed you'd call me"

"But I thought your first name your Seijuurou" She defended, confused

"It is… But earlier you called me Sei" He reasoned

"M-Midorima-san interrupted me!" She argued with his reasoning

"It stays. You are not to call me anything else" He commanded

She pouted. They didn't even know each other for 24 hours and he was already demanding to move on to first names? Moreover, nick-names?!

"I like the face you're making right now" He commended, while pinching her cheeks

"Isn't this kind of behaviour inappropriate?" She asked, still pouting

"For someone with my name, yes, very" He replied "But, even I need to be casual with others. It's not like you're a client, so I don't have to be formal nor do I have to follow any strict principles" He explained

'It's not like you're a client' He's just 12 years old… What does that mean?

Without knowing it, she was stroking his hair

"Mei-chan, what are you thinking?" He asked but she didn't seem to hear him. Damn… I really wanted to see her reaction to the nick-name too…

'I'm used to my maids preparing my meals' 'For someone with my name…' Baring the Akashi name… how big of a burden is it? The worlds we live in… "How different are they?" She voiced her thoughts, without realising it

"What is different?" She heard the read-head ask and, finally, noticed that she was stroking his hair all this time, stopping abruptly

Akashi pouted for a second, but let it pass "I've been trying to get your attention for a while now" Worried red looked up at her "Are you feeling ok?"

"M-more importantly!" She stuttered, trying to fix the situation "Akashi-san, isn't it bad? The body touch!"

"Ah, yes… In western countries it's very common" He reasoned

He's already travelled out seas?! Wait! That still makes no sense! We're in Japan and we're both Japanese! "B-But we're-!"

"And didn't I tell you not to call me like this?!" He shouted

That's bad… I didn't mean to get him mad again…

"I-I'm sorry, Seijuu- Sei-chan…" She muttered, trying to say the name. It felt wrong, but as soon as she saw his face, wide eyes and pink cheeks, she knew that she didn't want to call him anything else.

Baring the Akashi name… Now that I think about it, not even his friends call him by this first name… Having to deal with clients at such a young age… proper behaviours… images… That boy must have been craving for someone, anyone that he could be normal with. To act freely. For him, just one person must be enough

As she came to realise this, he hugged her "S-Sei-chan?" She asked, unsure of what was coming next. He pulled them back, resulting to them falling on the pavement, with her on top

"Stay like this and say it once more" He commanded

A/N Okay, so this was the first chapter. There's a reason things will go very well on the first chapters, because Akashi's change has not happened yet. This will follow most of the original story's development, so let's say this is way before they all changed. As you can see, Kuroko and Kise are not present yet,

Please leave your impressions and feedback as reviews, they will be very apreciated. I will update as regularly as possible, but please keep in mind that I'm watched by doctors frequently and at the same time I attend university, so don't get mad if I'm late *bows*

Also, I'm planning to upload a few one-shots for Christmas... If I make it, I promise they will be mostly "comedy", So please check them out when they are uploaded ;)
