A/N: I didn't plan to write this but somehow I wrote it and I can't stop XD

This chapter is mainly KirishimaxTakato pairing. The storyline is like SuohxKou, happen inbetween the Finder Academy's storyline. You can skip it but the last part has something to do with the previous chapter.

Takato sighed deeply as he sat there alone in an empty classroom staring at nothing. Not that he is antisocial mind you. He is a social butterfly but this time he has to say goodbye for a moment to his old habits just to focus on something trivial.

FLASHBACK

Takato entered Economics Department staffroom as he was informed to go there after he settle his things back in his room, the term has not started yet for his second year.

"You want to see me, Imamiya-sensei?" Takato addressed the only teacher found in the staffroom.

"Ah Takato-kun, yes yes wait a second."

Takato was standing near the window looking outside while waiting for Imamiya-sensei to finish his current task. Takato was observing the other students that had just come back after their holiday. The new students will be coming tomorrow after all.

"How's your holiday, Takato-kun?" Imamiya-sensei finally finished arranging the papers in his folder and turned his attention towards Takato.

"Same like every other day, only that I don't have classes." Takato answered, shifted his eyes from the window.

"Do you know why I call you here on your first day back?"

Takato feigned a guilty look. "Well…. Is it about my result?"

"Sadly yes, you're a bright student Takato-kun, since you have excellent results on your other subjects but somehow you failed to show it in Economics. This is where my concern lies in calling you here."

"I'm sorry. I'll try my best this year, sensei."

"Don't mind. I have a nice solution for you. I'm going to assign a private tutoring session for you."

"Tutoring? Who is going to tutor me? Sensei?"

His teacher shook his head, "I have so many things to handle. One of your senior is excel in economics he even took the advanced class. "

"W-who?" The idea of someone teaching him other than the teachers is not really appealing to him.

The staffroom door slide open and the said senior walked in. "Excuse me sensei, I believe you ask for me."

"Yes, yes. Come in." Imamiya sensei smiled to the newcomer and ushered him in front of Takato who still surprised to see the said senior. "This is Takato-kun, a year below you, lend him a help on economics will you. Kirishima-kun?"

Kirishima Kei pushed his glasses up his nose and held out his hand towards the junior, "Looking forward to work with you, Takato-kun."

"Um yeah same here," Takato said awkwardly as he shook Kirishima's hand.

END OF FLASHBACK

"You are spacing out again."

Takato was pulled out of his thoughts as he blinked his eyes meeting another pair of eyes behind glasses. Kirishima Kei, his Economics Tutor, as well as assistant to the Dorm Two Head looked down at him with criticizing look.

Takato huffed and leaned in his chair. "So what if I am? You're late. At least I worked hard to come early today."

"I was on time. As I said you were spacing out when you could use the time to read the book." Kirishima pointed at the book opened in front of Takato. "Have you finished reading the book I assign you?"

"Just the introduction… I can't help it, the book is boring- IT HURTS!" Takato rubbed his head where Kirishima hit him with his wooden ruler.

"When I ask you to read, read it. How you're going to improve like this. I will be blame too."

"You are just worrying about your reputation, you sadistic," He muttered under his breath, flinched when the evil wooden ruler hit the table.

"Care to repeat your words, you nut head?"

Takato held his hands up in and shook his head but stuck out his tongue when Kirishima turned around. "Say, Kei –HURTS! What's that for?"

"I told you not to use my first name casually. Show some respect."

"Whyyy? Kei is more suitable, after all we spend most of our time together ever since the start of the term."

"Only two hours each five days for each week. And it's only two weeks, read your book, before I quiz you again."

"You are no fun." Takato resigned and took a hold of his book and began reading. But he knew he can only keep five minutes of concentration on the boring text before his attention strayed back towards his tutor. "Say, Kei…" Kirishima immediately sent him an intimidating glare. "…Ok fine Kirishima. You know although it was just two weeks…. I always have this thought in my mind."

Kirishima try to hold back from rolling his eyes as it would ruin his cold demeanour.

Takato leaned over the desk towards his tutor. "You know…I like you." He whispered seductively.

Kirishima just flicked a page on his book he was reading. Takato was dumbfounded.

"Hey didn't you hear what I just said?" He yelled.

"Loud and clear."

"Then?"

"Then what?" Kirishima asked. "You want me to reply with I like you too? With you still behaving like a cheeky brat, well sorry to say I don't like you one bit." He said pointedly and continues reading his book.

Takato feel an uncomfortable weight in his stomach dropped, as he slumped back in his seat. It is the first time he got rejected like that, usually whenever he mess someone around like that, the person will either flushed or embarrassed and mentioned they like him too. He knew he always have this appeal towards either girls or boys. This is the first time ever he did not get any sort of reaction and being downright rejection. Though Takato did not notice a sly smirk crept on Krishima stoic's face.

He just pull his book towards him and a fail attempt to read, it is just blur of words as he could not focused, still feeling down. When a finger lifted his chin up to face his tutor's smirking face, there was a devious glint in his eyes behind those glasses.

"It's a wonder I can make you quiet like this. Are you really that disappointed?"

Takato slapped the hand away from his face. "It's not like you care."

"Do you really want me to say that? Do you want me to like you too?"

Takato open his mouth but close it before open it again. "Forget it. It was a joke."

"Oh really… I could offer you a deal, you know if you really want to hear that from my mouth."

"A deal?"

"Yes, a deal." Kirishima fixed his glasses. "I could say that 'I like you too' or better you could make me fall for you if and only if you follow what I ask you and passed your Economics, and I allowed you to call me Kei too, won't you like that?"

"That's impossible."

"Going to back out before even the game starts?"

Takato stood, clenching his fists. No one ever challenged him like that. "Fine! And don't regret when I can make you fall head over heels on me." This is just a game, Takato mused. He just has to go through the obstacle, and will defeat the evil boss, Kirishima Kei. Or maybe he just have made a contract with the devil.

"Should we go in? Or we're going for lunch first?" asked Kou, in his hands already many shopping bags. "I would like to try the restaurant we pass by earlier."

"I'm not yet hungry," Takato replied, then his phone rang, his eyes widen as he saw the call ID. He excused himself and went to a corner so that his friends would not overhead his conversation.

"What took you so long to answer?"

"Didn't I just tell you yesterday? I was going to town with Kou and Akihito. What do you want?"

"I just want to confirm you are indeed in town now, Where are you?"

"I was just near the arcade. Why?"

"Good, take your friend Kou is it, away from there."

"Eh? WHY? And why would I leave Akihito alone? Is this about him with Head Dorm?"

"Just do what I said. Remember our deal?"

"Whatever! You know it's my day out with my friends I don't want you come to mess it up. Give me a break will you?"

"Just do it." With that Kirishima ended the call. Takato scowled at his phone and sighed frustrated he still don't know what's behind Kirishima's mind. He closed his eyes and leaned on the wall of the alley he was in. Now what he is going to do to lure Kou away from Akihito.

"Takato? Are you ok?"

His eyes snapped open as Kou's voice reached his ears. "Kou? Where's Aki-chan?" He noticed the blonde is nowhere near Kou.

"He is waiting for us in front of the arcade. We are just worried that you took a long time. Is everything ok?"

Takato eyes glint mischievously. "Yes! Everything is fine, now come with me. I'm going to show you something."

"B-but… Akihito?"

"He could wait a while. This is important!" And so Takato dragged the gullible Kou away from that alley and away from Akihito.

Meanwhile, after Kirishima ended his call with Takato. He calls Asami next. Suoh beside him just watches him with questioning look.

"Yes, Kirishima? I have just arrived in town." Asami's voice came from the end of the line when the call is picked up.

"Suoh and I are in the restaurant near the arcade. Could you go here or you want somewhere else?"

"Its fine, I'm near the arcade anyway."

When Asami hung up the phone, Kirishima has this devious smile on his usually cold face that even make Suoh shuddered though he reluctant to ask what was that about.

After few minutes, Kirishima received a text from Asami that he is going to have lunch somewhere else. He closed his phone. 'Mission accomplished.'
