Author's note: thank you for favourites and follows, it really means a lot! If anyone has a suggestion you are more than welcome to say so. DemFeels – I love star wars too so I'm glad you liked it! Takara's mom and Fukui will probably meet in one of the next three chapters. Xxdreamergirl95xX – Thank you very much!

Oh yeah. KNB is NOT mine, I only own OC!

„Basically what you're saying is that he actually went to get you and when he told you you acted like an idiot you got mad and told him to go home?" Himeko really tried to understand, but understanding Takara's way of thinking was still something she just couldn't do.

„When you say it like that it sounds ten times worse." Takara cried from the other side of the line.

„It sounds like it should. I'm going to hang up now and I'll be waiting for you to call me back after you speak with Fukui. I've had enough of you fighting with those basketball players. I want to go see that Kagami guy play at the Winter Cup and I hoped you'll get me a free ticket but that won't happen if you continue with this." Himeko said lazily.

„That's selfish of you." Takara had to smile, being friends with Himeko was one thing she'll never regret.

„I care so little it's an understatement to say I actually don't care. Go now my bird! Oh, and call me!"

„Fine." Before Takara could say anything else, Himeko already ended the call leaving her to call Fukui. She searched for his number on her call list and pressed the button hoping he'll accept her apology.

„Hello!" Takara finally heard from the other side.

„Uhm, Fukui-kun? Hello!" she heard a silent snicker.

„It's Okamura, the little disrespecting bastard's in the middle of a practice game. I never thought I'll live to see him get a call from a girl." Okamura laughed. „Well, whatever, so, Honey, what do you want me to tell him?"

„What did you call me?" Takara asked not sure whether she was happy Okamura didn't recognize her or not.

„Honey, that's what it says on Kensuke's phone." Okamura replied. Now that he thought about it, the voice of the girl that was talking to him sounded somewhat familiar.

„Oh, okay. You don't have to tell him anything, I'll just call later."

„Fine by me. Bye!"

„Goodbye Okamura-kun." Takara let out a sigh and smiled brightly. She wasn't sure why, but the fact that her blunt straightforward firend had her number saved in his contact list under the name Honey made her happy. He was the only one that made her feel relaxed and happy just by seeing him, the same thing happened to her with Himeko and Atsushi. Only seeing the three of them is enough to make her day. Now she just needed to call Fukui again and make him accept her apology.

The first thing Fukui noticed when he went to drink water after finishing their practice game against Yosen's second string was Okamura grinning like and idiot at him. He frowned and hit Okamura with his towel.

„What?" he growled at his captain, but the taller boy giggled which made Fukui frown even more.

„I hope you're not always so serious with her like you are with us." Okamura said trying to contain his laughter. He wondered what kind of a girl would ever fall for the non existent charm his vice captain had.

„The hell are you talking about?" Fukui started to seriously consider hitting his annoying captain again.

„Honey called." Those words finally made him understand what Okamura was talking about. When his lips formed a small smile he hit the grinning Okamura again.

„What was that for?" Yosen's captain and power forward cried.

„For not respecting her. I know what you were thinking about in that ugly head of yours." Fukui growled, it pissed him off.

„If you know what I was thinking then you thought about it too." Okamura replied feeling proud of himself for coming up with a perfect come back.

„Shut up!" Fukui snapped and hit him again which only caused Liu and Himuro to laugh silently at their older teammates. Just when he turned to hit the both of them too his phone started ringing.

„Now what?" He wanted to sound angry but his voice just couldn't follow his wish.

„Fukui-kun is that you?" Takara asked not wanting to talk to yet another teammate of his.

„Yeah. What do you want?"

„I wanted to apologize for last night. I overreacted and failed to realize that you were right when you scolded me. I should have thought that one through but I acted on impulse and was lucky you managed to come and those guys didn't mean any harm. I really hope you'll accept my apology." Takara felt like weight has been lifted off her shoulders when she finally said her apology out loud.

„Tell me one good reason why I should accept it." Fukui said feeling curious and wanting to hear her answer.

„Do I really have to do it?"

„Yes." Of course he'd say that. Takara was silent for a moment before taking a long breath.

„I like hanging around with you though you can be a real pain at times, but i don't actually mind it. Anyway, I'm glad I got to know you better and I'm glad I became friends with you." She was glad he couldn't see her right now because she felt even more embarassed than when he held her during their detention three weeks ago.

„Isn't that nice. I guess I have no choice but to accept then." Fukui told her, frowning slightly when he remembered what Okamura said earlier. He really wasn't as serious around her as he was around them. In this short period of their friendship they managed to influence each other a lot.

„Are we friends again Fukui-kun?" Takara asked trying to hide embarassment from crawling into her voice as well.

„We never stopped being in the first place. I told you once already, you worry too much Akiyama." He scolded her.

„It's not like I can help it." Takara had to admit. She really couldn't.

„Thought so, anyway, do you have plans that include going out in the next few days that we're free from school?"

„I'm working the afternoon shift in Akita Sweets the day after tomorrow." Takara answered after thinking about it for a moment.

„Good. I'll walk you home just like Murasakibara wanted."

„Fukui-kun?"

„Yeah?"

„Thank you very much." She smiled gently, Atsushi made a good decision when he told her to ask Fukui to walk her home because of their argument.

„Sure. Besides you owe me and I think I know how you are going to pay me back." Teasing was obvious in his voice.

„How?" Takara grumbled hoping he won't embarass her again.

„It's a surprise."
