Pairing: Akashi Seijuro x OC (Mikami Yukiko)
Disclaimer: Nope, don't own this awesome anime/manga, sadly. That right is reserved for Tadatoshi Fujimaki. The OC's are mine though.
Summary: Mikami Yukiko was your typical 16 year old. Attention to detail there, key word: was. Her father, an internationally famous business man had struck up a deal, his daughter was to be part of an arranged marriage, as old fashioned as that sounds. Luckily, Mikami isn't alone. Throughout this critical stage in her life, she's got her best friend, the mocha haired tomboy, a certified food lover and basketball fanatic. It isn't until much later that she realises, her future husband goes to the same school, is in the same class and is none other than the infamous, Akashi Seijuro. And from that point on, her life just got a bit more interesting.
Note: I am Australian so my spelling may be weird to some of you, hope you don't mind too much.
On with the fanfic!
I stretched my arms above my head. Being on a plane for 8 hours really does something to you. But, it's good to be in Japan.
My name is Mikami Yukiko. My friends just call me Yuki. My actual last name is Anderson because I'm half American from my father's side but I decided to use my Japanese mothers maiden name, my father and I don't get along too well. I was born in Japan but my family decided to move to the US because there were more job options so I grew up there but we visited Japan from time to time. I'm around 5 ft 1", I know, pretty short for a 16 yr old girl but what can you do? I have waist length auburn hair which I braid. I'm a relatively shy person. I play the cello and do tennis and I also started to play basketball, but I'm better at observing than actually being on the court.
Let's see...what else...Oh!
My best friend is half British and half American. She's 16 too and she decided to come with me to Japan because she apparently got bored of the scenery in America not to mention she learned the Japanese language. Her name is Arianna Sanders, she's the laid back kind, you know the ones who don't care about grades or school and just want to have fun but she loves sport and music. She also loves her food more specifically, junk food. It's amazing how she can stuff her face with so much, I swear, her mouth is like a black hole. Ari is around 5 ft 3" and she has shoulder length mocha hair which is always tied up, she also has these rare green eyes. She knows how to play the piano and the violin and is really good at sports, especially basketball which is why I ended up spending my afternoon with her at some street ball courts.
The two of us are in Tokyo today, we're supposed to be in Kyoto in two days but we decided to come here first to sightsee. We booked a hotel room for the time being and walked around town.
Ari and I were at the street ball courts at around 4pm. We were only practicing our shooting because neither of us wanted to run. We had free time because school started next week. Anyways, Ari was going for a three-pointer when we heard a loud yell and a cry for help. It came from down the street near the park.
I looked at her and she just nodded, we grabbed our stuff and ran to the direction of the noise. At the time, neither of us had a plan, we just wanted to help. We arrived in time to see a big, tall muscled guy with a weird haircut punch the shorter man, or boy by the looks of it. There was a little girl who couldn't be more than 7 yrs old crying when another thug slapped her to try to shut her up. The little girl screamed again and the second thug raised his hand to hit her again.
His hand stopped short. I didn't even notice Ari move. She was now holding the second thug's fat wrist stopping him from hurting the girl.
"Go pick on someone your own size, bastard" she spat in perfect Japanese, then she viciously twisted the thug's wrist and kneed him in the stomach before spinning around into a left hook effectively disarming him.
I guess also I forgot to mention that Ari's also good at fighting, not the martial arts kind, the dirty street fighting, I suppose the fact that she used to take karate lessons helped too.
I rushed forward and took the girl into my arms, she hugged me and sobbed a little. I saw the guy with the weird haircut stop kicking the boy and starting to walk towards me.
I looked at Ari. Unlike her I didn't know how to fight, I took dance lessons instead of self-defence which made me pretty useless in these situations. My best friend gave me a slightly sadistic smile, "Don't worry Yuki, I got this guy"
Don't get me wrong, Ari doesn't like seeing people in pain, but if someone pissed her off too much or was extremely violent she wouldn't hesitate to break a few of their bones, she also has, anger management issues...
I heard the first thug crack his knuckles and I shivered slightly. It's okay, I thought, Ari can deal with him after a few deep breaths I stood up with the little girl in my arms, I edged away from the two and quickly ran to the boy on the ground. His nose was bleeding and there were a few cuts on his face. I put the girl down and started to shake the boy's shoulders.
"Excuse me, sir please get up." I didn't know why I was being so polite, I should be panicking and screaming at the top of my lungs but I wasn't and that was a good thing. "Sir, are you alright? Please get up."
The little girl joined in with helping me to get the boy to speak. "Nii-chan! Wake up Nii-chan!"
Nii-chan... that meant the boy was the little girl's older brother. I tried again, "Sir, please wake up." Nothing happened, now I was panicking. I faintly heard a 'crack' and I turned my attention towards the fight between the thug and my best friend.
Neither of them had moved. The sound I heard was from my friend cracking her knuckles.
"What are you staring at you big lump of fat, are you just gonna let a girl beat ya?" Ari teased, a feral grin settling over her features.
The thug's eyes flashed with rage and he charged at her. I gave a little squeak of terror, the thug was fast but Ari was faster. In one swift moment she had stepped aside and kicked the guy in the lower back causing him to stumble and at that speed he crashed into the park bench.
Ari dusted her hands, "That was easy" she commented, "How's the kid there and what about the girl?"
I looked towards the boy's body, his sister was shaking him desperately.
"The little girl's alright, there's a bruise on her cheek though but her brother isn't responding at all" I replied wincing as I heard my voice go several octaves higher, I was panicking.
"Call the ambulance, I'll go and see if there's anyone around that can help" she replied tossing me her phone. I barely caught it, my hands were shaking.
I dialled the number and I gave them the address and a brief summary of the situation. They said they'd be here in 5 minutes tops. I put the phone down and I turned to the little girl.
"It's okay, the police are on their way, everything will be fine" I said smiling as I reached out to pat her head.
She screamed.
I stood up quickly in surprise only to bump into something. I turned around and in front of me was the first thug that had crashed into the bench. My eyes widen, the little girl was trying to tell me the thug was behind me. Too late now, he had already raised his fist which was practically the size of my head. I was rooted to the spot in fear, my feet wouldn't move and as his fist came down the only thing I could do was shut my eyes, bring my hands over my head and wait for the impact.
It never came.
"It's rude to hit a lady."
Then I heard a rough grunt and then a smack. Slowly I opened my eyes and it my arms down. The thug was lying on the brick floor and a tall good-looking blond was standing over him.
"Well that was close, are you alright miss?" the stranger asked, he had a smile on his face.
I could only manage a small nod.
"Yuki! Are you hurt?"
I turned to see my best friend running towards me behind her were several policemen and paramedics.
"I'm fine Ari" I said.
The police had asked us a few questions regarding why this happened but none of us knew, it was out the blue this thing. In the end the thugs were dragged away by the policemen and the boy and the little girl were ushered to the ambulance but not before the girl came up to me and thanked me. "Thank you so much Onee-san." she had said.
"Anytime" I replied with a smile.
They left and I was standing in the park with Ari and the blond stranger.
"Who are you?" Ari rudely questioned, just noticing the blond. Short and straight to the point was her style.
"Eh?! You don't know me?!" The blonde was taken back, "I'm Kise Ryouta!"
She blinked, "Sorry, not ringing any bells." Ari said plainly.
The blonde, Kise, fell onto his knees dramatically, "How could you not know one of the Generation of Miracles and handsome high school model Kise Ryouta?!" he exclaimed and I swear I saw a waterfall of tears running down his face.
"Because I just got here two days ago and I'm hungry." she said, her mind was already drifting away from the conversation when she thought of food.
I bowed to Kise and apologised, "I'm sorry, she gets like this a lot. Thank you for saving me."
Kise just grinned, "It's alright, I'm glad you're not hurt." He turned to Ari who was now talking to herself about which types of food she should eat. "Your friend reminds me of Aominecchi and Murasakibaracchi."
I looked at him. "Uh, they're friends of mine, sorry I was babbling." He said and flashed me a smile. "I know a good dessert shop around here, why don't we go together? It will help take your mind off things."
My best friend's green eyes lit up at the mention of dessert, "Yup, we're coming, lead the way Mr Miracle or something." Ari said cheerfully, she grabbed my arm and dragged me with her. I rolled my eyes and smiled. We grabbed our stuff and followed Kise.
I think he noticed the basketball Ari was holding because they started talking about it. I said a few things but I was mostly looking at my surroundings. I looked up at the sky and took a deep breath if fresh air. It was a scary afternoon, but it was fine, Tokyo's amazing scenery took my mind off what just happened.
"We're here!" Kise called out.
I looked at the shop he was standing in front of. It was a quaint looking place that seemed to be bustling with large groups of people. I smiled as we walked in, the smell of sweets and desserts made me hungry.
A/N: Finished! *cue victory dance* No Akashi in this Chapter but he will be in the next, I promise. For now you'll have to deal with Kise's personality. I do realise that this chapter sounds boring and mainstream, I'm not making promises about whether or not you'll love this story, but my writing does get better so bear with me. Until next time!
