As soon as everyone was done cleaning the shrine, Kuroko had Kagami cook up something really fast. Some girls were getting ready to spy on the couples and were about to run up the stairs when they saw the red haired boy go up before them. They were scared of him at first. It was their first time seeing someone with mismatched eyes and red hair. The boy realized a bunch of village girls were watching him as he took a step up towards the stairs. The girls jumped as he looked at them, but then blushed. The red haired boy was smiling at them.
"Err...Excuse me. What is your name?" One of the girls asked.
The red haired boy responded, "Akashi."
As he left the village girls and went up the stairs, he met several pairs of eyes at him as he reached the top. Kuroko wasn't present at the moment. Kagami was glaring at him.
"What do you want?" The tiger growled at him.
The red haired boy stared straight at him. Kagami was about to attack him, when Kuroko appeared out of nowhere. Kagami jumped a bit. He still wasn't used to his lover popping out of nowhere. Aomine and Kise jumped a bit too. No one noticed that he was in front of them. But it seemed like the red haired boy knew.
"Hello, Kuroko." He greeted.
"Hello." Kuroko replied, "What is your name and what do I owe your pleasure of visiting my shrine?"
The red haired boy took a step forward just to have Kagami stand in front of Kuroko, blocking his way. He didn't want the stranger to nab at his lover. The onmyoji touched Kagami's arm and signaled to him that it was fine.
"I'm Akashi. And as you have noticed, yes, I am the life-cutting spirit god. But I'm not really a spirit god either. I'm more of a demon." He answered the exorcist.
His eyes felt as if they were peering through Kuroko's heart. Which he must have been, because he completely ignored Kagami, Kise and Aomine. Kuroko didn't mind it, but was starting to feel sick a bit. Kagami felt a waver in Kuroko's mind and was about to push his lover behind him. But as he was about to do it, Akashi had closed his eyes. He opened them again and looked at everyone this time. The village girls reached the top and didn't really bother listening at their conversation. They were too distracted by the beauty of the couples and the new handsome face.
"I want you to help me with something." Akashi told the onmyoji.
