THE INFORMATION

For a few days later, Akihiko seldom saw Minako. Even if he saw her at university, she seemed always busy. He admitted that he didn't ask about her major course and felt regret for not ask her phone number and e-mail. When he thought about her at class, someone poked his face, "Hey, Aki what's wrong?" Ueda smiled at him, "You're spacing out again."

Akihiko sighed, "Nothing, just think about the matter."

"Again!" Ueda seemed annoyed. "Come on dude! You must take a rest from that uncertain thing in your head. Or you'll lost all of your hair." He joked.

Sometime Akihiko thought that Ueda reminded him with his old annoyed friend, Junpei Iori. Especially his joke. But, because of Junpei, he can stood up with Ueda's joke. "Where's Kanzato?" he asked.

"Oh, he went to the lecturer's office to ask about that strange thing..." he tried to remember something, "..oh yeah...that Apathy Syndrome thing..."

Akihiko just nodded, he never thought that the Apathy Syndrome still happen, although that he and the SEES already defeated the Shadow. But, if he heard about the case clearly, it wasn't the Shadow who caused it. And he can't believe that this thing only happened at Ayanagi City.

"Hey Aki.." sudden Ueda grabbed his shoulder, "Want to refresh your mind?" he asked. "Let's go to the tennis court, the girls team's time right now! We can see the girls training with their uniform!" he smiled.

Akihiko's eyes widened, "What..hey are you kidding! What if.."

"Relax, this Ueda-dono will take care of you from your fans!" Ueda cut Akihiko's words and he dragged him out of the class.

Both of them arrived at the tennis court, Akihiko suprised a bit, because a lot of guys watched from the fence. "You're suprised Aki?" Ueda grinned at him, "Well, because there's a new member who attracted the guy's attention. She was cute!" he continued. Ueda laughed to himself and looked like that he went to his own world already.

Akihiko ignored him and his eyes focused to the court now. Two girls played tennis, with their sleeveless shirt and short skirt. He never paid attention to the game, but now was different, his eyes widened when he knew the girl who played on the court. It was her, Minako...a brown reddish hair colour with ponytail hair, and a pair of red ruby eyes. But she looked different now, especially her hair, she put on a hair pins on her hair, it looked like roman numerals of 22. Akihiko smiled, he tried to shout her name out and cheered her up, but he realized that if he do that, not only the girls but the guys will glared at him, so he just kept silent and watched the game until finished.

When the game done, Ueda smacked his back, "How about the game, Aki?" he smiled, "Rarely to see you interested in something. You watched the game until the end. What's wrong? Found a cute babe?" he grinned at Akihiko.

"..not really..." tried to keep his feeling because he saw Minako. "I wonder, what wrong with you so you decided to drag me here...Ueda."

"See the girl with the hair pin?" Ueda asked. Akihiko just nodded, and he knew that Ueda's words reffered to Minako. "She was new here. But she was famous already in here. Especially the guys."

Akihiko bit suprised, "You...know about her?" he asked Ueda.

"Yeah...freshman from faculty of medicine...Her major was Medical Sciences and her minor was Neurosciences...she joined tennis team, university's student council...she took a part time job as a waitress" answered Ueda as he tried to remember about Minako. "...hmmm...she was genius afterall..."

Akihiko gave him a guilty smile, "Wow, you knew a lot about her...how do you do that? Stalked her or something?" he joked.

Ueda gave him a devilish grin, "It's my job to keep the source as secret Aki...hehehehe..."

Akihiko sighed, "Ah...whatever...but be careful Ueda, you might hurt someone because of that information. It was privacy after all." He warned him. "Then...see you tomorrow." Akihiko waved his hand to Ueda and walked away from him.

"Where are you going?" Ueda asked.

"Just do a little thing.." Akihiko simply answered.

Minako washed his face with a water from the outdoor washroom. She wiped the water on her face with her blanket and saw someone stood in front of her, "Sanada-san! Rarely to see you here." She said to him with a smile on her face.

"You played good on the game back then. Here, for you." He tossed her a bottle of mineral water, "I never knew that you played tennis."

Minako catched the bottle and smiled again, "So, you watched the game? Hey, you never asked about my club activity afterall." She giggled and she looked at Akihiko who blushed.

"By the way..." She looked at the bottle, "It's for me?" She asked and Akihiko nodded, "Thanks...it was really kind of you." Minako started drank it.

"You're welcome." Akihiko said shyly. "By the way, are you free right now?" sudden he asked.

Minako looked at him and smiled, "Yeah, why?" she asked.

"Er...d..dd...do you want to hh..hang out with me?" he asked and he was really nervous.

Minako then giggled, "Sure, but what's wrong with that tremble voice? Are you nervous or something?"

"Yeah..maybe.." Akihiko answered.

"But you talked to me normally back then.." Minako pouted.

"Ask a girl to hang out with me, it's different case.." Akihiko blushed as he tried to give an excuse to her.

"Alright then, let me change my outfit and grab my thing first." Minako walked away from him, "Wait for me at the main entrance."

Akihiko waited for Minako patiently as he played his cellphone. "Sorry for take a long time!" Minako's voice came from behind him. Akihiko looked at Minako, she wore a cream sweater with pink stripes on it, red scarf, scottish kilt skirt, black legging and brown long boots, of course a pair of red headphone around her neck. She brought a sport's bag and a bag of her tennis's racket. "So where are we going now?"

"How about the strip mall? A lot of mini stores on there. You'll love it" Akihiko said as they started walking.

"Ng...Sanada-senpai..." Minako looked nervous, "I think the girls looked at us. Maybe we should make a distance. You're popular afterall."

Akihiko sighed, "Just ignored them. By the way, you just called me with 'senpai' on the end? What's wrong?" he asked.

"Just want to act politely to my senior." She smiled.

They arrived at the strip mall, and Minako looked like a little child she seemed love the place and looked around it. Akihiko just looked at her and smiled, she looked like Miki...he thought. And then they stopped in front of a book store with kanji of book and store as the sign. "An old book store...can we come in?" Minako asked him happily and Akihiko nodded.

They entered the store and Minako started looked for a book. Akihiko looked around the store, the book store looked like the book store in Iwatodai, Bookworm's. "Find something interesting?" he asked Minako.

"Yeah..." Minako answered as she showed the book to him, the title was A Midsummer Night's Dream. "I loved the story!"

"You really like to read a book, right?" he asked with a little smile on his face.

Minako nodded, "When I was little my brother always bought a new story book for me every month. I refused it because I can buy it by myself but he insisted." Then she kept quiet.

A brother...Akihiko thought. "So, done already? I'll wait outside." He said as he went to the door.

Akihiko waited outside and then Minako went out from the store, "Thanks, for waiting." She said.

"So..where do you want to go now?" Akihiko asked.

"Let's go home, senpai. I have a lot of paperwork for tomorrow." She gave him a little smile. "Ouch!"

Akihiko flicked Minako's fore head, "You should tell me about that. So I won't ask you to go out with me today."

"Tehehehehe...sorry about that. But, I really appreciated your offer." Minako showed her tounge a little. "Beside I found this book. Thank you very much Senpai!"

Akihiko sighed, "Okay...alright..alright...let's go home or I'll hear your freaked out voice from your apartement." He tried to tease her.

"Hey! Stop teasing me!" Minako pouted as she softly punched Akihiko's hand.

"How rude are you. As a freshman from Medical Sciences you musn't hurt the other." Akihiko teased her again.

"How did you know about my major course?" She confused as she raised her eye brow.

Akihiko put his index finger in front of his lip, "It's secret!"

Minako sighed, "Okay then 'Emperor'..I let you win now..." She crossed her hand, "Because it was afternoon already, I'll spare you."

Both of them laughed together and walked home.
