"What on earth happened?" Subaru shrieked when she saw Akashi giving Yukia a piggy-back ride. They went upstairs to Yukia's room to prevent unnecessary commotion. Akashi carefully removed her from his back and let her sit down on the bed.
"Long story. Can I have an ice pack, please?" Akashi said as she crouched down and examined Yukia's ankle. "It's not that bad. Just a little rest would help."
"I'll be right back." Subaru went out of the room, her short hair swaying behind her.
"Has anybody told you before that you're too reckless for a girl?" Akashi asked calmly, not losing his cool.
"A lot of people do. I always get into fights."
"Are there any incidents that happened before aside from that which proved you reckless?"
"I made the kitchen blow up once."
"And?"
"I rode a bicycle without shorts under my skirt."
"And?" Akashi's shoulders drooped when he heard the second statement.
"I let the adult German Shepherds out from their cage when I was 4. There were 5 of them." Yukia laughed. "The maids were freaking out."
"Jeez. You really are reckless."
"Of course. I'm a Shirotame, after all."
Subaru went inside with an ice pack in her hand. "Do you need any nurses, Seijuro-san?"
"No, thank you. I can handle this."
"I'll be leaving the rest to you. I need to assist my husband downstairs." Subaru smiled and went downstairs. Yukia can hear her mother's heel collide with the floor.
"Ow." She winced as he touched her ankle before laying the ice pack over it.
"Stay still, will you?"
"Fine." She then grabbed the PSP lying abovethe wooden drawer and started to play.
"What's that?"
"A PSP. Haven't seen one?"
"Idiot. I have 5 of that at home and 2 that I have brought along with me. I mean, what's the game?"
"Tekken. Tekken 6."
"Oh. Which character are you using?"
"Alisa. I want to master her fighting style. It's the only one that I don't master."
Her phone and Yukia were both startled by it. Yukia then picked it up and smiled when she saw the caller ID. It was her coach, Riko.
"Yes, coach?"
"WE WON! WE SERIOUSLY WON!" Yukia smiled and her eyes widened after hearing the good news. They won against that towering nigga! She could hear her coach laughing while the boys were talking loudly in the background. As if they're trying to talk to her, too.
"We won, Princess!"
"Papa-whatever lost!"
"How's the party?!"
"Bring me back some food!"
"And souvenirs!"
"Yes, yes." Yukia smiled, tears of joy were threatening to stream down any moment. "I'll bring you souvenirs, I promise."
"Alrighty, then! Good Night! See you!"
"Good Night." Yukia hanged up before closing her phone and put it back inside her drawer.
"Seems to be your teammates. Quite a noisy bunch."
"That noise you heard recently is just level 1. They're even nosier in personal."
"You're schoolmates with Kuroko Tetsuya, right?"
"Yeah but how did you-"
A man appeared in the doorway. "Young Master Seijuro, your father is expecting you."
"Tell me I'm coming." The guy bowed before walking away. "I'll see you later then, Yukia."
"Hope we meet at the Inter-High."
Akashi smiled cockily and went outside of the room. After her room was out of sight, Akashi's face darkened as he took held of the red scissors in his pocket. "I'll crush you, Princess." He muttered in a dark voice.
When Akashi was out of her sight, her face darkened. "I'll defeat you, Mr. Emperor."
It was still 4 hours before the flight back to Tokyo but they were already sitting in the passenger's lounge. Yukia scowled.
"It's still early, you know?"
"Better than being late." Yudora replied.
"Idiot." She whispered.
"I HEARD THAT."
"Whatever." They sat opposite each to avoid unnecessary conflicts. She then remembered something. She then stood up and walked away towards the souvenir shop.
"Where are you going?"
"To go fishing."
"Ha Ha. Funny."
"I'm going to the souvenir shop. I'll be back."
Yukia entered the shop and saw different types of souvenirs everywhere. Different colors, sizes, kinds. She scanned the store slowly, not wanting to miss a single souvenir inside the shop. Finally, she found the most ideal souvenir. A bracelet with a nameplate on it.
"Young lady, do you want that souvenir?"
"What's the nameplate for?"
"If you buy that, we can carve your name in it for free."
"Woah. I think I'll buy them. 12 of them. The red-and-black one."
"Alright. The carving will be fast. You can look around while waiting." Yukia wrote first her teammates names ona piece of paper and gave it to the woman before she and went to the carver. Yukia continued strolling around the store when she bumped into a tall guy with brown hair and was holding a pouch of sugar candies (you can guess who.)
"Sorry!"
"Sorry, miss. Are you hurt?"
"No, not at all. You?"
"I'm okay."
"Are you a high schooler?"
"Uhm, yes."
"What school?"
"Seirin High." Yukia saw the guy's eye widen. "You seemed shocked. Is something wrong?"
"Nothing! I just accidentally bit my tongue. Anyway, what club?"
"Basketball. By the way, I'm Yukia Shirotame."
"Nice meeting you. I'm Kiyoshi Teppei."
"I'll have to excuse myself now. Coach Riko told me to buy food souvenirs."
"See ya!" Kiyoshi said as she walked away and went into the rack where the food and delicacies were located. He secretly followed her with his eyes. "Riko lets the underclassmen buy food for her? She didn't change at all." He said silently after going out of the shop. "So she's the one Riko was talking about."
"I'M BACK!" Yukia exclaimed as she went inside the gym excitedly. She arrived about 2 hours ago but she managed to at least go to training. She wore a shirt and knee-length shorts with flats and she brought the treats with her.
"You're back!" Izuki exclaimed.
"No. I'm front."
"Ha! She brought your puns to shame!" Koganei mocked.
"What's with the bandage?" Kagami asked as she looked down at her right ankle. She then smiled and waved her hands in front of her.
"It's a long story. Let's just say basketball and high-heeled shoes were involved."
"You played basketball while wearing heels." Kuroko said, making her flinch. He really is a smart person. "You're reckless."
"I know. I heard that the second time. From a friend of mine."
"Will you be able to play in the next game?" Riko asked as Yukia handed the souvenirs and treats to her.
"Of course I will. It was not that severe, you know? Just a little rest and I will be okay."
"Ok fine. You're a good souvenir chooser." She said as she picked up the bracelet that had her name carved on it.
"You think so?"
"Hey guys, get your bracelets here." The guys went to where Riko is, except for Kagami. He preferred to go to the edible souvenirs first before going to the material ones.
"So who are we up to against next?" Yukia asked.
"We're going to battle a number of teams. However, if we all survive the games, we might play against the King of the North, Seiho and the King of the East, Shutoku." Riko replied
"Well then, game on!"
AND THERE GOES ANOTHER CHAPTER!-
Will you look at that! Yukia and Akashi were wearing fake smiles after all! WEEEE!
