Chapter 11
"We're here." They exited the car, but something caught Akihiko's eye.
"It's Minako!." Said Akihiko
"And Naoto too." Said Souji from behind.
"Did you tell them to go here?." Asked Akihiko in a loud voice.
"No. But Naoto wanted to come there, I didn't think it would be today." Replied Souji.
"Anyway just get her out of there!." Akihiko rushed to the door, and what he saw...
"Shinji...?"
"Aki, what're you doing here?." Minako's eyes just widened at the sight of this.
"Aki?...So I'm right. You're Minako?." He smiled.
"Yes, are you, Shinjiro-senpai?..." she asked
"Well, who do you think I am?..." that man smiled smiled.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Shinjiro Aragaki..." the moment they hear his name, they widened their eyes. And Akihiko suddenly clenched his fist, and punched him into the face.
"Shit..." said Shinji who fell into the floor and touching his face.
"Why... don't you ever call? To the dorm at least... everyone... especially Fuuka... she's been down ever since you left the dorm." Said Akihiko with a sad face.
"Aki...You shouldn't be harsh on him..." said Minako while she held his fist.
"But, Minako... He never realised how much we care about him. He should be thankful that everyone still look after your room... especialy Fuuka." When Akihiko said Fuuka's name, itring the bell in Shinjiro's mind. That everyone, especialy her, who he taught to cook...He stood up, and bowed in front of Minako and Akihiko.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I never called, never leave any messages, or any letters. It's because, I don't want you guys to worry about me. But I think I did the wrong thing, didn't I ?." he showed some regret on his face.
Akihiko then reached his shoulders and his other hand reached his cellphone.
"It's alright with us, why don't you gave her a call?." There's Fuuka's number showed on Akihiko's cellphone screen. Regardless, he pressed the dial button.
[Hello, It's Yamagishi, what's wrong Akihiko-senpai?.]
"It's me..." In an instant, Fuuka realised who she was talking to.
[Shinjiro-senpai... How are you...] her voice showed that she was trembling.
"Hey, about a week from now, I'll be back to Iwatodai..."
[Really? Be sure to empty your stomach, I'll cook for everyone.] Fuuka was over excited at the moment.
"WE should cook for them, okay?."
[By the way, why are you using Akihiko-senpai's cell?.]
"They're here in Inaba, where I work."
[Oh, It's that so?...'They'? you mean he's with Minako?...Ahh!]
"What's wrong Fuuka?."
[Oh, nothing the script for my research...Ah, Thank you, you were saying?..,]
"Nah, Who did you thank to?"
[Oh, a man bumped me, and helped me take the papers.]
"Is that so, okay then see you next week."
[Okay, bye..]
He hung up the phone, and returned it to Akihiko.
"How was it?." Asked Akihiko.
"Not bad. Hey, what're you guys doing here, anyway?." Asked Shinjiro.
"The main reason is to visit my relatives here in Inaba, but then Akihiko's squad help with a case here." Said Minako.
"Yeah, and this case is happening here. In this restaurant." Said Akihiko.
"Sanada-san, you don't have to make a commotion here." Said Maeda behind him.
"So, where's the last suspect?." Asked Akihiko.
"Right in front of you. Shinjiro Aragaki-san we have some questions for you." Said Edajima with Dojima on his side.

In her car, Mitsuru Kirijo, the head of the Kirijo group is on the way to her office. Passing through the iwatodai strip mall.
"Octopia..." she said, unconsciously when saw the stall from her car. And remember how she tasted it for the first time with Minako.
"Is something matter ma'am?" asked the driver.
"Please pull over. I want to buy something."
"Yes ma'am, right away." He replied.
After the driver stop the car, he opened Mitsuru's door.
"Thank you." She said. Then, Mitsuru walk elegantly to Octopia.
"May I have one?"
"Wow! Right away ma'am." The seller said. After some time, the takoyaki finished. "That's 300 yen ma'am."
"Thank you. Here you go." She handed her 1000 yen. "You can keep the change."
"Wow! Thank you very much!"
Mitsuru just smiled, and turn over her body.
"Ow." Said a boy who stood behind Mitsuru. Her takoyaki was spilled all over the man who looked like a punk. "it's hot you know? You need to pay it back lady." The punk said.
Mitsuru just sighed, "how much do you want?"
The punk laugh, and suddenly serious. "HAHAHA I dont want your money, AND your body." And began to touching her.
"i'm sorry mister. But could you do that here?" said a boy to the punk.
"what do you want little shit?"
"you can't do that."
"This is my place! Now get off!" the punk said, and starting to punch him. But, the boy dodged it, again and again. And with a punch from the boy, the punk fell down and escape.
"Are you okay, Miss?" said the boy.
"I don't need your help. But thank you" she replied and crossing her arm. "Why do you this for someone you barely know?"
He's smiled, "Do I need a reason?" he pat Mitsuru's head,
"You need to becareful miss. Many punks in this area. You dont want something bad happen right?" he said while she stare at his appearence which he had a suit on.
The boy left her off with a cool walk. Mitsuru, uncounciously smiling and blushing. What is this feeling? She thought. 'love?' then, she blushed more. She shook her head.
"No way no way. Ah, I need to get going. Maybe next time. With Minako again." She mumbled.
"Are you okay? Ma'am?." Said the man in black, it seems it was one of her bodyguards.
"I'm alright, make sure you do all your jobs next time. Any messages for me?."
"It appears we have a meeting, Miss..."
"Alright, let's head back."
After she arrived at the office, Mitsuru assistant walked beside her.
"i'm sorry Miss, but the person from the Shirogane group has arrived."
"What! Why havent you told me before?" she raise her voice a little, but already make her assistant shivering.
"i'm sorry Miss, I—"
"i don't want to hear any excuses. Next time, don't make someone waiting for me." She rushed off to the meeting room and open the door.
"I'm sorry i'm la—te?"
The person who looking at the window, turn over his head. Light from the window make he was like coming out from the light.
"You..." Mitsuru shocked, widened her eyes.
"Ah, you must be Miss Kirijo, I'm from the Shirogane group, I'm Candied Ant, Nice to meet you."
"Ah, I see you used aliases no?." She said while she seated herself.
"No, I'm Arisato...(Ari : ant, sato/satou : sugar)."
"I'm sorry, I must be hearing things..." said Mitsuru
"No worries, well maybe because of that accident earlier." He replied.
"Shall we begin the meeting?..." said Mitsuru.

Fuuka was on her way to Kirijo building, and was rushing through the streets there. It was not far from where she had to go, so she just carried her research papers. Then an incoming call.
"It's from Akihiko-senpai... I wonder what's wrong?." She answered the phone.
"Hello, It's Yamagishi, what's wrong Akihiko-senpai?." She suddenly became nervous, because she wasn't talking to Akihiko.
"Shinjiro-senpai... How are you..." she became more nervous by the second
[Hey, about a week from now, I'll be back to Iwatodai...]
"Really? Be sure to empty your stomach, I'll cook for everyone." Fuuka was over excited at the moment, and felt like to scream it to the world.
[WE should cook for them, okay?.] she blushed when he said those words. She knows that she had a crush on him, but seeing Shinjiro being friendly to Minako, so she thought Shinjiro had a crush on her. But, Minako was already Akihiko's girlfriend, so she (verb 2 dari seek) the chance to be Shinjiro's girl.
"By the way, why are you using Akihiko-senpai's cell?." Regardless, she opened the conversation again.
[They're here in Inaba, where I work.]
"Oh, It's that so?...'They'? you mean he's with Minako?...Ahh." She bumped a man.
"Let me help you... carry on with your conversation." Said the man, but he's way too young to wear a suit.
[What's wrong Fuuka?.]
"Oh, nothing the script for my research...Ah, Thank you, you were saying?..." as she continued her phone call, the man walked in a cool mood, but she's curious because he was going the same way as she does. She wanted to thanked him properly.
[Nah, Who did you thank to?] Shiniro's voice startled her and made her gaze turned away from the man.
"Oh, a man bumped me, and helped me take the papers." As she talked, she searched for the man, but he's already gone.
[Is that so, okay then see you next week.]
"Okay, bye..." She hung up the phone.
"Oh, well at least I'm here." She looked up at the building, it was her workplace, Kirijo Electronics building. Though it's a part of the main buliding, still she didn't realize she would be recruited from her senpai, she couldnt understand the power of Kirijo.
"What am I thinking?... I should get back to work." Said Fuuka.

The meeting lasted for a long time, and the sun is already setting.
"Thank you for your cooperation Miss Kirijo, I'm greatful that my family's company can cooperate with yours again..."
"Yes... But may I ask about something?." Asked Mitsuru.
"Anything Miss..."
"Is your company's having some trouble because the accident 15 years ago?." She asked but she already felt guilty about asking it.
"...No, not really. It's just...I'm sorry..."
"Why are you apologizing?..."
"All that has happened it's not your fault..." At the moment she heard this, she remembered her father, and couldn't be calm when it's something about his father. She cried. Not long she felt a warm feeling surrounding her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I should mind my self..." but Mitsuru tugged his coat, as it was disallow to let go his embrace.
"Please... just a moment..." She cried to her hearts content. She knows that it was ridiculous to cry in front of someone you barely know, but she felt that person was not (asing) to her. As if, they had known each other.
"Pardon my rudeness." She came back to her usual self. Her calm and composed-self.
"It's time for dinner...Would you care to join me, Mr. Shirogane?..." she continued.
"Why are you calling me by the name Shirogane?... My family name is Arisato..." there a slight pause between them as if they were confused of one another.
"But what the heck, we should talk it over once we eat our dinner." He said.
"Oh yes, I should take you on a tour of one of our advanced departement, our electronics departement on the third floor. Then we head to the ground floor where there's a restaurant."
"I'm fully on your hands, Miss Kirijo..." his deep voice suddenly remembered her of the feeling she had this afternoon. An awkward feeling towards him. When she realised she felt her face was hot.
"Your face is red... are you sick?..." he touched her forehead, while his other hand touched his forehead.
"Maybe you're exhausted, Miss. Shall I escort you..."
"No, no, I'm alright... let's carry on." They exited the meeting room while two bodyguards tailing them from behind. They escorted them to the electronics departement, and headed to the lift to the third floor.

"I'm still guilty about today..." said Fuuka.
"Fuuka-san wait for me..." said Aigis from behind.
"We still have a lot of work to do. We should get this done quickly." Said Aigis.
"Yamagishi." Mitsuru's voice called her from the lift.
"Are you going to the lab now?." Asked Mitsuru.
"Yes, I am. What's the matter Kirijo-san?."
"Ah, I have to guide our new bussiness partner. This is Mr. Arisato." She showed him from behind.
"Hello, I'm from the Shirogane Clan."
"Ahhh, you're from this afternoon. I'm sorry, I haven't properly apologized to you."
"It's alright. No harm done." He smiled. Fuuka blushed as Mitsuru too, they were thinking that he has such angelic smile...
"Yamagishi, have you already taken your dinner?." Asked Mitsuru.
"Yes, I'm in a hurry, senpai. So..." Fuuka's nervous as she said that.
"It's okay, Yamagishi. You may continue your work." Said Mitsuru.
"Shall we start our tour?..." asked Mitsuru.
Line
"That concludes our tour... " said Mitsuru.
"Was it too boring for you, sir?." Asked Mitsuru.
"Not really. I was hungry, so I saved my energy. But of course I listened to you all the time." He said. Mitsuru cannot stop blushing as a result.
"Well, let us now enjoy our dinner. You may take your break." As she said to her guards.
"Yes, Miss." They replied.
"Good evening, Miss. Table for two?." Asked a waiter.
"Understood. Then, this way." He escorted them to their table. And after he handed the menu, he left until they called for their orders...
Author's note:
Haah, I finished it rather late, because the writer's block I'm in. On this chapter is mainly Minato's side of the story (sorry for fans of MinakoxAkihiko, I too wanted for them to appear in this chapter, but my writer's block has come, and I don't know the continuity if I continued it, to the parts in Inaba. Don't worry the story will be longer than I thought. So keep review and new ideas are accepted, haha
