Notice: EXPECT slice of life and humor!
"I'm going out now, Mom!"
"Take care!"
Her shoes fit perfectly on the actual shape of her feet. This day is going to be something, not denying she happened to have a notification from Akali about the surprise test. Studying is one of the priorities she must do as possible yet the activity is filling out her mood for boredom. Before she could open the door, a baby squeaks behind her. Ruu is holding a Poro plushie and gnaws it, he is wearing a small tank top with fresh diapers that catches any wastes from his developing body.
"MMM!" The toddler grunted.
"Oh? Ruu! I'll be seeing you later, don't be naughty!" Irelia scuttled, leaving the toddler who breaks loose again, crying from the fact Irelia left him. Great. What a nice start. Her home got alarmed by a shrill cry of a baby which her neighbors might be waking up soon from the cry.
Soon, the gates creak and Irelia steps out her anciently home. She pressed on, walking briskly to the pathway. Her eyes caught something by its peripheral vision, just by at the wall who happens to be a person. Irelia pauses and glances, who wouldn't have thought..
"Hi, Irelia." Akali is leaning against the wall of the gates, she is fiddling her kunai with her while reading a book on the other hand.
"Akali! Are you perhaps standing here for a long time?"
"No. Just few minutes." She continues to fiddle the kunai with her until she decided to walk with the dancer.
"You know, you don't have to wait for me. And I presume you're studying." Irelia got bothered by the fact Akali is studying while waiting for her.
"No. I wanted to fetch you so..we can walk together." Akali admitted. "Simple review is enough for me so don't mind."
"And you don't have to bother yourself for fetching me." Both of them proceeded on walking, though Irelia can't accept the fact Akali made an effort to do this.
"I want to fetch you, you deal with it. You can't argue this time. Because I ain't listening." Akali rolled her eyes and averted.
"Fine. What if I am not attending school? Don't tell me you're going to wait at the gate for me." Irelia made a possibility.
"I'll wait for you. Or maybe I'd let myself in to your house and have tea made by your O-ma. Perhaps I'll negotiate to babysit little kid Ruu to your parents for free and stay for weeks inside your house, waiting for you in case you do your aviation job." Akali explained. Those plans can be a chance, and Akali is determined to wait for her in case she's not around. Hearing all of the desired plans made Irelia laugh, didn't she know Akali has thoughts for this. "What. I am serious, I'd definitely ask for babysitting job."
"Even though you do have shifts?"
"The hospital wouldn't mind taking my leave. Also, the old lady at the food park would be more than just a simple glee from the thought I'd babysit a toddler in exchange of my working hours." Akali huffed. "Who knows? I might be useful to your parents, I can check their health for free, check little Kid for free, check your O-ma's pressure in case since she is prone of high blood pressure at old age for free. I may be administering check-ups to your bros in case they got injured or whatever's happening to their body for free. How's that?"
"As if your tone is seeking something in return." The blue leer went back that shots the red vision of the ninja.
"Yeah. In exchange, you'll come back home and hang out with me again. I'll treat ya a box of sashimi again if you'd like. How's that?" Akali proposed her plans, Irelia has the feeling she is tied up from the plans that the ninja desired.
"Hm. What if I reject the offer?" Irelia asks in a way to find out more on how Akali would deal this.
"Ah." Yeah. What will she do if she rejected it? Akali wonders.. "I'll wait for you again until you agreed to hang out with me. Hey. What are you implying at?"
"Yeah?"
"As if you're going to reject me. I am not going to let myself sleep if you are hiding something from me. Have you forgotten about yesterday?" Akali glared, her eyes burned in a way she felt a sting of her heart from the word of rejection.
Hold up, Akali's voice is sharp like a kunai flying straight directly on someone's throat, the ninja suddenly went hostile that somewhat calling for murder. But then, it made Irelia found something from the ninja in which she has thoughts of noting it from the way the ninja acts on people.
"Yesterday is nice. And you even said that you loved me." Good thing they're walking on a blossom covered path without any bystanders and people flocking by, the Ionian neighborhood is literally a home of silent souls in which it presume to be having in sense of tranquility. As if the whole pathway belonged to them at the moment. "Of course. Why would I hide something from the person who had confessed yesterday? And a dance partner of mine in any cases of danger, like the Brotherhood attack. Anything."
"Hmph. Well. Good thing you know." Akali blushed. "I am serious okay."
"Is the Rogue Assassin jealous?" Irelia teased in a tone of taking the ninja's statement a joke.
"Maybe I am." The ninja flatly stated. "So. You already know what consequences would happen if I got jealous. I am serious." She proves her point by fiddling a kunai from her pocket, almost showing a threat at the dancer.
"Aw. How unbelievably adorable for a Rogue Assassin to be jealous.." Irelia teased before she embraced the ninja's arm.
"Tsk. Don't do that. Can you just.." Akali shivered from the sensation of having the dancer's warm, slender arm wrapping hers."Nevermind." She ends up trying to get use of this moment. She could fall from the rising heat from her face because of how Irelia is too close at her range. Even the move that Irelia has done to reach out her hand silently, intertwining her fingers along with those slender digits of the dancer.
"What?" Irelia has seen Akali looking, just taking few glances until she felt her hand being squeezed firmly with the ninja's hand on hers.
"Hm.. After P.E., let's eat lunch together, okay? I have a nice lunch today.. Oh yeah. Let's be partners in Soccer games or whatever what sport would professor newb is going to throw." Akali stated.
"Lastly, let's do our best for the test." She gripped the ninja's arm tight as if she's holding it dearly.
"Mm-Hmm.. Of course.. And from now on.. I'll be fetching you everyday. Don't you dare resisting or deny. No more excuses. Huh." It ended while the two walk along the pinkish path filled with petals of spring. The wind calls them for the sign of fair weather, even the sun seeks shine that counts a hidden vibrance of their spotlight.
The bell will ring after twenty minutes that could navigate around the campus, alarming students that class hours are in. The ninja and the dancer walk along the sidewalk, passing throughout the wave of students. Only to know in front of them is something that Akali used to avoid, while Irelia isn't since they find them neutral in sense of dealing their attention.
White ponytail, snow colored strands, flowing through its thickness wrapping on a single purple thread that fastened the hair. It's the mage, Syndra. She's floating, hovering herself with the use of her magic. Purple spheres rotating around her, but the way it rotate call into a fact it's ready to plant someone's face. Because Syndra is surrounded with two ninjas that Akali used to avoid else she'll be calling murder.
"Move! Why you fools are slow!? Get away!" She shoved them with magic. Kayn and Zed sighs, but they kept their pace.
"Tsk! We are just having a conversation about our club." Zed started. "And I do wish Zan will accept."
"The Xan girl will never accept your Shadow club that is filled with weebs." Syndra corrected.
"And when she'll be coming to class? Heard about prof that she's piloting a plane." Kayn wondered.
"Hmph. She's too perfect that a woman like her pilots a plane that is rare amongst people. Why don't you fools look upon her and STOP PESTERING HER TO JOIN YOUR STUPID SHADOW CLUB AND INFLUENCE HER WITH YOUR WEEBNESS!" Syndra snarled. Her voice reverberate with her magic that ends maliciously.
"Tsk! Our Shadow Club is filled with freedom and hobbies!" Zed immediately defended his club's reputation.
"Whatever! And leave me alone! I bet you two haven't reviewed lessons yet! SHAME!"
"Test?"
"Imbecile! We have a surprise test! Mathematics, Literature, Biology, World Civilization, and a stupid Match-up test in that foolish Soccer game!" Syndra is about to burst her anger issues. "Pathetic! See you on the next semester, Fools!"
And Syndra just hovered hastily, the ninjas felt cold on how the word 'test' will screw their day. Thus Kayn and Zed quickly used their whatever techniques to teleport.
...
"Hmph." Akali silently hummed, having a deep content that the two ninjas are now gone. Upon hearing the test, she glances at Irelia. She remembered how she had taught her about the lessons back then, making her confident on the supposed surprise test for today.
"Irelia." Akali calls.
"Hm?" Continuing her walk, she responded directly.
"Watch me pass World Civilization. Okay?" Akali started, having her crimson eyes flashed on the dancer's ocean-hued sight. "And.. let's be partners on Soccer. But don't expect I'll go easy on ya."
"Whatever.. I don't mind losing. As long it doesn't force me to win the game against a Soccer pro." Irelia made a small laugh. "And watch me pass Biology as well. Hm?"
"Of course." Only few meters, they'll be reaching the gates. "How 'bout we settle this again. Huh."
"Conditions? What are?"
"If I got high score than you in World Civilization—" Hold up..
"I'll give you a ride and take you home.." At the gates, a silhouette makes an entrance. The pink circular shades is the only thing that is glowing on the silhouette. This totally shivered the ninja's senses, in fact, what she has seen is something that she also avoid in terms of ambiguity and contacts. It's THEM.
"What THE F—" Akali shot her eyes upon hearing the sentence. Bright red cheeks wander around her face, resulting her to convulse her heartbeat.
"What, Akali?" Irelia thought she said it!
"I. Didn't. SAY—" Akali is about to protest, seeing the dancer gasp and blush in result.
"Oh.. yes." The silhouette formed into a shape of an attractive woman. She is looking at the ninja, expressing delight from the tease. Really. She do love to give captivating sentences.
"Hi~ Good morning! Irie! And Akali.." Ahri waved, her tails swayed blissfully.
"I..Irie?" Akali made a bloody shot glare at the fox.
"Oops~ I gave Irelia a nickname! Was it okay?" Ahri is directly speaking at the confused dancer near the ninja.
"It's okay. I do appreciate it." Irelia smiles.
"Hello, Blade Dancer. The Void seemed to be delighted at me meeting you personally! I've been wanting to know who's Akali's mysterious friend. And additionally.. I've also wanted to see you dance." Kai'sa said, she happily takes the presence of Irelia though she knows that the encounter is definitely something that Akali has to be avoiding. Know the facts of getting teased by the members.
"Ah! Finally! Thank goodness, I thought that I am the only one who dances.."
Kai'sa is cautious at this, else she might slip the Pop group influence to the Xan. "Is that so? That's great! Have you joined the Dance club? I'm actually one of the members there!"
"It seems the club is adjusting new members so, no. A shame but, I'll try." Irelia seemed to be sad upon saying the fact.
"Ah, don't worry! Maybe I could help!" Kai'sa cheered. "I'll try asking the leader about it! Bet he's going to agree with having a new member instead of driving them away." Kai'sa's words are uplifting Irelia's desire to join the club. It totally made Irelia smile. A smile that her passion will be gaining a chance to express its form.
Though the talk about dances, Akali got hostile. Of course, Irelia is with her and the fact she is being teased by Evelynn, oh yes including Ahri. Good thing Kai'sa is an exception yet in the conversations between the whole members.
"Hm.. Such lovely morning, It seems I haven't introduced myself." Evelynn smirks, her lips is covered with red matte lipstick that is gaining more attraction. "Evelynn.. you can call me.. Eve. Darling.." She leered at the dancer..
..As for Akali. "More like.. E-vil-lynn." She glared, crossing her arms as a sign of hostility.
"Oh, shush now. Rogue.. Is little Rogue here showing manners like that to you, Darling?" Eve asked, well.. it's just a beginning to tease the ninja.
"At first. Yes." Irelia nodded. "But got used of dealing Kali's manners. My parents do appreciate her as well.
...! Evelynn GASPS. And even Ahri.
"Really? Your family appreciated Rogue? Oh hmm.." And there we go, Evelynn is leering at the ninja alongside with Ahri.
"Kali.. Huh.." Ahri leers with her golden eyes.
"Oh my God, make this stop. Make this stop!" It's obvious Akali is getting embarrassed now."Irelia! NO. NO. DON'T LISTEN TO THEM!"
"I'm Kai'sa. Pleased to meet you, Blade Dancer." Immediately, Kai'sa breaks the teasing tension. Nice save!
"Phew. Kai'sa, you're the best." Akali thought. Apparently, the thought has been forgotten as Akali got slipped out by the fact Ahri is hearing thoughts. She may have forgotten about it, and this is raising the chance of teasing.
So, Ahri hummed. Her eyes glimmers a pink spark inside her pupils, a magic in which her delight is to something she charms on. Secrets and thoughts. "Oh yeah, It's been awhile and I never knew Akali here is making friends!"
"Hm? Are you three perhaps her friends? That's good to hear! " Irelia asks.
"NO." Akali huffed, averting herself again.
"No? But they know you."
"They're just NEWBS." Akali huffed again.
"How rude.. Are you showing the real you in front of your darling? " Evelynn returns it with a tease that somehow shuts the ninja down.
"Ah?" Irelia gasps. Uh oh.
"And I appreciate she's now growing~" Ahri's fluffy tails sways alongside Evelynn's.
"Uh.. Ahri, Eve.. Uh—" Kai'sa feels the anticipation of the ninja already. She could brace herself on this.
"Shut up, Eve! And my God especially you DAMN FOXY!" Akali bursts her reaction. It made her grab something in her pockets and throws it forcedly on the ground, puffing out a cloud of gray smoke.
Students got affected, resulting coughs. The K/DA crew is used of to Akali's smoke tactics to escape except for Evelynn in a way she started to shape up back being a silhouette and glowing. As it subsided, Akali and Irelia are both gone. Obviously.
"Let's take a bet that she's now lifting her Bridal Style." Ahri smirked while she's shoving some smoke.
"I'll take that bet, Love.. Oh, such lovely encounter.." Evelynn smirked deviously as if she's having captivating imaginations already. Kai'sa is just there, sighing from content that nothing happened incredulously.
"Shall we? Bet they're already in class~
"Time starts.. now!"
...
Only the sound of the clock is heard inside the silent classroom where the test has been commencing for just couple of minutes. Each student has the pen on hand while turning the gears inside their minds. What is intriguing is that there is an automated machine that is just about a size of a typewriter, sitting on the desk of the professor. He introduced this machine that automatically checks test papers within just seconds, it is systematized with AI and Hextech runes for seeking answers. Probably this is used to lessen time for checking papers. Luckily, the first test is Biology, which is making Akali put on her confidence since this is definitely very easy to her.
"Prof Newb is too open. Ha." She idly wrote her answers confidently. The questionnaires are based on to the lessons she had read after she bought the textbook; telling how Akali had read the Biology textbook as soon she bought it. She heard few students grunting in frustration, beside her is Diana who is yawning but lazily writing, at her other side is Ezreal who is having a bad time dealing the questions. She has seen her group mates doing their thing and Evelynn is simply not bothered at all; seemingly the diva is prepared for this. Ahri, well, she is quite struggling but she is trying her best, while Kai'sa is doing the same.
She stood up, walking to the professor and hand over the test paper. She's the first to finish the test by just ten minutes.
"Miss Jhomen Tethi? That's fast. Have you reviewed your answers well?" The professor seems to be wondering Akali's speed on answering. The question gained attention to the class.
"See for yourself, prof." Akali quipped her smug, daring the professor to check her answers. The professor used the machine..
...!
It flashed green, there's a sign at the side that is likely based on cashier monitors to check prices. Her score flashed in display with a solid 50/50, flat perfect.
Her classmates went awe, some of them gave up. Some of them did their best to answer, oh yes, include Irelia here. The class murmured, it made the room break the deafening silence like a library does.
"Ah! I give up!"
"Just how?! That's Biology!"
"Ah forget it! She totally prepared for it!"
"Nevermind, I wanna pass, this is fine."
"I-Impressive! You are exemplifying Biology! Miss Jhomen Tethi!" Her professor stutters from the fact Akali totally ranked top the whole class in Biology.
"Thanks." She went back on her seat. After that, she has to wait for them to finish of course. Boredom reaches her that only her thoughts for..
..She made a quick glance at the back.
Her eyes imprint the dancer she had been thinking of..
She pouted, almost having a sort of excitement after these stupid tests, because she'll be partnering up Irelia on Soccer games and eat lunch together once again.
...
Few minutes..
"Ugh." What made her grunt? Hm. Well look at what Akali's next test paper. It's the obnoxious subject that is about memorizing of crap about the world. World Civilization. Great. And how come it's the last one she'll be taking. Her Mathematics and Literature are not bad, but—! God.. World Civilization? Now this is the time where she would fail. Oops! Better not break her promise to Irelia that she'll do her best on the tests.
Irelia hummed that this is her chance to go high, since she missed alot, she has to pass for those series of tests. World Civilization is what made her hope, unfortunately, she has a second thought about Akali. Wondering how the ninja would pass the subject she had been hating.
.
.
.
After that..
"Hi, Irelia." Akali calls. She just popped out at the dancer's side without causing any noise. Good thing it's P.E., and everyone is preparing themselves, classroom is getting filled out with silence as students are leaving the room. "So. Uh. I have this."
Akali hastily presented her test paper on World Civilization, almost shoving the test paper in front of the dancer's face. The test paper shows a large red tint of 29/50 score. "Ha. I passed." Akali's eyes went into a slant curve, showing delight.
"Finally! It seems you learned a lot from our study!" Irelia happily cheered.
Akali glances first, left and right. Good, coast is clear. It seems the two of them are the ones left inside the room. "It's all thanks to you." And that's the point she throw herself at the dancer, ending up a dear embrace. "Mm.. Best teacher in World Civilization.."
"Seriously.." Irelia wouldn't mind returning the ninja's embrace. "How about mine?" It's Irelia's turn to show her test paper that is probably her weakness right now, Biology.
"Mm..? 28/50? Perfect for someone who needs to pass." Akali smiles, returning her gaze at the dancer while her embrace tightening. "You did a great job of passing Biology, Irelia. Some people gave up Biology, but you managed to pass. Nice work.." She setback a hint of positivity to the dancer. The score is not half bad, probably worse to people who are seeking worth.
"Hm. Thank you, but the score is questionable to Dad." Irelia got saddened.
"Why? Your dad doesn't want you to have this kind of score?" Akali immediately sought retaliation. It seems Irelia's parents are giving her standards in education.
"Somewhat."
"I'll patch you up. Huh. In case he got his negative reaction."
"You don't have to do that." Irelia smiles weakly, but it's likely to be seen that she's grateful having Akali supporting her up.
"Ain't listening." Akali pouted.
"But—"
"Ain't. Listening." Akali repeated.
"Aka—"
"Ain't. Listening." Akali glared. "You know what. Let me hug you for awhile. Huh. Embracing will give you everlasting comfort, even mentally." The ninja just embraced Irelia tightly without giving her any sense of movements.
"You're just.. like.. Ruu."
"But not going to kill ya."
"Hmph, you talk.. With this athletic body of yours, I can't move."
"My training paid off, sorry. Ha." Akali smirks behind her mask. "Hm.."
Now Akali is enjoying herself having Irelia on hers. The embrace feels like Akali has no plans to let go. However, they must prepare for the P.E., class about a pairing match-up for Soccer test in basic techniques. Of course, she is prepared to aid Irelia otherwise Irelia would manage to try her best again, ending up score just like her Biology test score.
But Akali has in mind.. A thing she finds it mischievous and dangerous at the same time. This could be the reason why she ensured her classmates left the room for her to have this opportunity. And so she did. Akali swiftly pressed her face, touching her supposedly lips that is currently concealed with her green mask onto the dancer's. She felt Irelia's pink lips by just a touch though her lips is behind the mask.
Irelia got dumbfounded. Almost surprised for the first time Akali made an initiative to do this kind of intimacy.
"..Hm." Akali shows her rare, soft expression at the dancer. "One point for me." Annnd she giggled.
"W-We are in the Institute!" Irelia blushed furiously.
"I know. I just can't help it. Ha." She remained playing hard to get on the fact Irelia is pointing out the danger of.. well..
"Mou— That's it! No lunch for you!" Irelia has her face screaming with redness, following by a move that immediately storms her out the room.
"Ah? I'm just kidding. Irelia? Come on. Wait up!" It ended Akali to follow the blushing dancer to the dressing room for the preparation of the Soccer test at the fields. What a good start! Akali swore that THAT move is giving her so much energy to prove newbies who's winning the Soccer ball at the fields.
Each student has to pair up for this Soccer test. And Akali immediately chose Irelia else someone's going to take her.
With that, a classmate of hers went just by the side and sighs. It's Syndra, and her partner is Ahri.
"Hmph. Green ninja does the thing." Syndra commented.
"Oh, leave her~" Ahri hums in delight.
Akali happens to overhear them. "What."
"I suppose you win this time, Green ninja." Syndra glared before she faces at Irelia. "I say, I do wish to partner up with Xan today. But a mouse who wears green clothing stole the cheese."
"So, am I a cheese for you?" Irelia remarks, raising a brow that calls something.
"Hm.. Obviously. Cheddar, in fact, a melted one.." Syndra leered, having a sort of tone of giving ideas. Instantly, Akali pulls the dancer away, AS possible.
"Does it mean, you admit Irelia is hot." Ahri laughs, totally supporting what Syndra has said. "Hm.." Then she returns a leer at the ninja, wondering how the ninja would react on this after Syndra just likely made a flirt.
"What—" Irelia could laugh it out until Akali pulls her away to the others.
"Let's go, Reli. Let's warm up there." Akali ends a glare right straight at the purple eyes of the malicious mage, though that shivered her from the fact Syndra's eyes really is calling intimidation but she's far from a coward. Honestly, she would love to face the mage without excuses.
"Ah. I'll steal a ball from Prof Newb, be right back." Akali runs off, running like a ninja does. Irelia is left out for awhile, good thing Akali leads her to somewhere that is away from the crowd. She give herself a thought about this, especially Akali. What she has noticed is that Akali is getting clingy, upbeat, and somewhat.. intimate while having the brash, sassy, and overconfident attitude to people showing without any necessary precautions. Only to find out that those hidden qualities from the ninja is only to be done whenever she's with Irelia. Yes, even elderly people, and the Xan family, er— except for the intimate part.
Soon, the wind howls a little bit. The breeze halted as she has heard a low voice of a man. "Hey."
She turns around. "Ah. You're Kayn. Am I right?" Hm.. odd. She could feel that she'd be pestered by joining the supposed Shadow club of his. The man nodded, the scythe on his back is wrapped with dozens of bandages.
"Sup? It's been awhile! How's things?" Kayn asks, trying to make a small conversation.
"Not bad as always."
"How's that? You know, piloting a plane?" Kayn is trying hard to make this conversation going.
"Thrilled." Irelia smiles.
"Fun for you? Heh. The whole class heard about it! Zed and I got worried! Hey. L-Look at this!" Kayn chirped, and he presented a flyer. The paper is having contents of detailed description of the said club. Lots of dark colors, gaudy title, and the mascot of the club is an animé character. "Heh. I made it! Rhaast even helped me."
"Lame. I prefer more DARK COLORS Kayn." The scythe just spoke in an eerie tone. Irelia jumped in surprise as the weapon muttered out words like a human does.
"Don't worry, he won't bite." Kayn calms the tensed dancer. "So! I made it for promoting our club! I would like to ask if it's nice, or no."
"Hm.. Only the title needs helping, for me, calligraphy is perfect for something like this." Irelia gives Kayn a suggestion, which it totally made Kayn brighten his light bulb in mind. "Ionian Symbols. Strong strokes with absolute precision."
"HA! I have an idea! Thanks Xan."
"You're welcome."
Kayn has in mind that needs to say at least giving it a try. "So! It's Soccer game, you have a partner? Let's—"
*Chik*
The flyer on his hand disappears, finding out it is proded on the tree bark. A sharp kunai just made an entrance, it is literally fast that even Kayn has the reflexes to use the flyer as protection else his hand might be sending at the infirmary.
"Back off. Kayn." Akali's voice seethed like she's calling for blood. She grasps Irelia and pulls her. "She's my partner. Find yours. Ask your Master. "
"Hmph. You." Kayn glared, even his corrupted left eye does made an effect.
"Let's go." And then Irelia is being tugged by the ninja who is forcing the dancer to move away. Kayn sighs. That's something intriguing..
"She has changed." Kayn wondered where on earth did that teeny, small voice came from.
"Oh? A ninja from Kinkou." Kayn huffed, seeing a small ninja, happens to be a Yordle that wears a purple jacket.
"Ah. Shen is paired up with Zed!" Kennen pointed at the direction where Zed is clumsily catching the soccer ball from Shen. "And it seems he's having fun!"
"Ah. Guess you're enough. Okay. Partners." And Kayn ends up pairing up with Kennen. Who knows? He might be receiving a batch of luck from the fact Yordles are swift.
...
"Relia." Akali started. "You're famous today. Huh." She made sure Irelia's leg will not slip. First of all, they were having a warm up; performing sit-ups is not much a bother but..
"I know. And you don't have to threat him like.. that." Irelia lifts herself, somewhat struggling since she has been performing ten sit-ups now. "Are.. you.. wanting me to—! end up like the way you.. have abdominal—! Muscles?!"
"Heh. Why not?" Akali smirks. "Found out that you prefer squats over this. Reasons why you have a nice peach."
"W—What?" Irelia stops lifting herself, laughing from that statement.
"Oops. Ah." Akali blushes. "Forget that."
"You.. hitting me or what?" Irelia glances at the ninja who happens to be having visible red cheeks.
"..Ah. I'll think about it."
"I'll think about it? What?" Irelia laughs like she heard the most funniest thing happened in her day.
"I-I am serious. Ah. No.. Maybe. Ah. I don't know." The ninja averted without taking an eye contact. And how come this totally made her so embarrassed that she admits she had tried out flirting. "Tsk. That woman who has purple balls.. hate it." Now she puts Syndra a blame on this because of the flirting issue.
"Akali—"
"F-Fine. Let's do leg exercises now. What do you prefer." If she didn't changed the topic, her embarrassment would definitely consume her.
"Hm. This." Irelia made a split with her legs.
"Hey. Are you going to break my ligaments or what? Flexibility is something that is limited for me." Her eyes shows impression upon seeing Irelia performed a split without any sense of pain.
"Squats? Want it?"
"..Are you asking me to shape up just like your peach?"
"MOU— Stop the peach thing!" Irelia blushed halfway while she whines, almost scolding the ninja.
"Hmph. Because it looks like it." And so, Akali didn't hesitated to start performing squats along with Irelia. After few exercises, the whistle blares the area that gives every student an attention.
The Soccer games has started, amplifying tension from it's serious playoffs for the sake of grades. Each student will pass a series of test regarding to basics. Of course, Akali is a topnotch, few students do also hit the buzzer for the flawless performance because of experience. Irelia, she did her best, proving how Akali's teachings in basics do an improvement. Her scores are definitely plausible and great.
After the match..
"Irelia." Akali calls. Irelia is staying away from people due to her unwanted fame. She is taking a nice drink of her cold water. "Can I hug you for awhile?"
"You love to hug now, hm?" She's quite surprised to hear Akali's sudden request. And yes, this resulted her to blush.
"Because you did your best today. I am happy that you remembered my teachings." The ninja leans, having her head resting on the dancer's shoulder.
"Mm-Hm.. Instead of enjoying hugging me. It's lunch! Come on!"
"Yeah. Two minutes."
Moments later..
At the rooftop..
"Wow. That's rare! No ramen." What she has seen is that Akali's lunch is now packed on a box, filled with delicious seafood and rice that is shaping up how the container is. She is having Tempura.
"Hm.. Hehe." Akali giggled. "So yours can be.." Akali takes an observation to the dancer's lunch. It's just rice but looking at it makes her answer the type of food is this. Green peas sitting on the edges of rice that has small bits of pork, a fried rice that is flavourful with its good oyster sauce as a main seasoning. "Is this?"
"Yangchow Fried Rice. Hehe.. Mom made it! I would love to cook but, I don't have much time." Those rice bits are packed with flavors, seeing it made Akali drool. "Mm.. Hehe. Here. Ah?"
What? Irelia is about to feed Akali! Oh. This is a nice opportunity..
"Ah.." The ninja patiently waited until the spoon touches her mouth, handful of rice goodness tingles her tastebuds as the flavor of crab meat and the dash of scallions packs a punch of a hearty lunch. Her eyes curved, humming from the scrumptious taste of the dancer's lunch. Sounds of chewing are heard from the ninja, thus the chewing let a single rice slipping out from her lips.
"You have a rice here. Mou.." Irelia smiles as she cleans the ninja's mouth with a tissue.
"Mm.." Akali hums in delight. Also.. having a sort of content from the way Irelia is gently handling her mess. "My turn.."
Akali picks a tempura until she has seen Irelia takes a crunchy bite. It seems her tempura is done perfectly. "Ha." She has seen Irelia's face formed into a deep satisfaction from the way that seafood brings a quake inside her mouth that ends into a goodness. The way Irelia chews it doubled Akali's attraction to the dancer.
"You know, I cooked it." Akali has a soft gaze running across the dancer's face.
"Teach me how to cook perfect Tempura, okay? I do wish to have your skills in cooking by the way."
"Sure thing, Irelia.. I'd definitely cook for you if you'd like." She coughs. "Only if you'd like seafood."
"Of course, I do love seafood." Irelia smiles genuinely. "Especially when you're the one who's cooking."
"Hm. So.." Hmm? Akali has something in mind.. "You love a cook who cooks seafood?"
...
...
Irelia has shown her ocean colored eyes viewing the red hues of Akali's. Heart just punched a skin out of her that counts a message from her brain to blush."..Are you hitting me again?"
Lips formed into a curve, smirking from the statement that is actually plausible. "Maybe yes. Better deal with it. Huh." After that, Akali has in mind to start practicing those promising words, call it a flirt but it totally makes the ninja discover a new thing that she has to ensure of flustering Irelia down.
*RING*
Woah! Class hours are over! Students are rambunctiously leaving the campus for their extracurricular activities. The classroom started to fall silent each tick of seconds.
Before Akali would join up with Irelia, her group mates called her for a crucial meeting. It's just minutes but Akali is impatient.
"Chill. We wouldn't want to ruin your date with Irie~" Ahri teased, her tails agreed by swaying blissfully.
"Shut. UP. What's with the meeting?" Akali blushed.
"Hm. It seems we do have mini concert. How lovely.." Evelynn now filled in, the dancer; Kai'sa nodded in response.
"Wasn't this fascinating? The venue is at the heart of the city!" Kai'sa made an addition.
"Concert. Hm. When?" Akali nodded.
"Two days."
"Nice."
"You have shifts, right?"
"Don't mind about that, I can take my leave easily."
"Perfect!" Ahri claps. After that, she pulls out something. "Here." And she gave Akali a VIP ticket.
"You okay? I am the rapper here but you're giving me a ticket." Coldly, Akali made a response.
"Geez. It's for her."
"Is it about time you settle a date with your darling with a discovery that you are a member." Evelynn tries to support the fox's wishes.
"Oy."
"No, excuses!" Ahri barked. "Else, Kai'sa would give you more Void talk."
"Sometimes, love inside the Void is undeniably—"
"Okay. Shut. NO." Akali pressed her ears just to minimize Kai'sa's Void talk. "Fine! But. I don't. WANT. Any. Of you. To blackmail me from this. Newbs." Good thing Akali grabs the ticket without messing any smoke bombs or whatsoever. But honestly, they were right. It seems to be the time she must tell Irelia about her oddest, third job alongside of being a nurse and a cook.
She joins Irelia at the hallway, adding up tension if in case HER group mates would stalk her. She has to present this ticket without knowing by any means of sources. Really. This ticket is heck expensive, it's VIP. It cost a thousands of gold, for heaven's sake.
Soon, they reached the pathway that is having a sea of students again. How will she give this to Irelia.. However..
—!
"Ah!"
Irelia has seen familiar faces of her loved ones waiting at the gates. It's the Xan brothers. Annnnd..
"MMMM! Waw!" Even baby Ruu is included?!
"Zelos? Why did you bring Ruu?" Irelia asks immediately.
"Why not? Lil' BB Bro wants to explore! Don't trust your good ol' Big Bro?" Zelos shakes the baby a little that heightens his excitement.
"Hi, Princess's friend!" Kai and Ohn greeted Akali. Their faces glimmer in happiness.
"P-Princess's friend?" Irelia raised suspicion.
"Princess..Friend?" Ruu asks. Too cute.
"No! It's BB Princess's Friend!" Zelos jokingly corrected.
"DON'T teach him words!" As for Irelia, she scolded her brother. Kinda refreshing to say at least, Akali feels comfortable even though she's standing without any notice.
"The institute is pretty nice, can we take a detour? We might apply for Military course here for next semester or in the future!" Zelos said. "Take Ruu, don't go elsewhere."
"Right. You just want me to babysit." The dancer rolled her eyes.
"Haha!" Kai laughed. "Well you do like it!"
"KA-I.." Irelia glared.
"Ah, spice up Baby Sister." Ohn joked.
"OHN.." She intensified her glare.
"Looks like the BB Sister is gonna get mad." Even more jokes from Zelos.
"ZE-LOS." Uh.. Irelia is glaring furiously. This made the Xan brothers immediately do their thing. Now Irelia is trapped with babysitting. Well, good thing Akali is here.
"MMM!" Ruu squirmed, sign of he wants to be on the ground. His eyes wander around, seeing first colors of reality. Good points for development as what Akali used to say on toddlers like him.
"Heh. Kid's looking, nice way of his developing mind." Akali says.
"Well yes. Guess we have to wait for my brothers. Come! Ruu, let's sit over there!" Irelia pointed at the bench.
"Hehe." The baby claps his hand, having a wide smile that it totally makes him excited. Both Akali and Irelia went to the bench. The ninja in mind wants to test the baby's development. So she did.
"Look around, what do you see?"
"MMM!"
"Trees.."
"Trees?"
"Yep."
"Yep. Yep!" The toddler imitated the ninja.
"One more." Akali pressed on. "What do you see again?"
The toddler is formulating words, he is wondering what will he be calling this as he has seen people walking towards them.
...Uh oh.
"OH MY GOSH! HOW CUTE!" Ahri squealed. She crouches and gazes at Ruu. "So THIS IS YOUR CHI—"
Instantly, Akali slaps the fox's mouth shut. Her cheeks blazing in redness! Almost! "You. BETTER. Shu—"
"My my.. Oh yes~" Uh oh.. Evelynn is getting the ideas.
"Uhmm.." Kai'sa is just there, urging herself to resist the laughter.
"Ah! Hi, Ahri, Eve and Kai'sa." Irelia greeted. The baby is just staring at the sight of strangers.
"Awri." Ruu imitated his sister.
Oops. Ahri gasps. "Baby called me Awri!? So cute!"
"Ooh la la.. teaching new baby words.." Evelynn has a smirk, deviously and mischievous.
"Oh my God, why are they here?!" Akali just wanted to scream like she's begging to call the police. The chance of teasing is beyond high levels that'll result into a harsh embarrassment.
"MMM!" The toddler grunted, pointing at something fluffy behind Ahri. He is wondering what are those.
"Ah, those are tails." His sister answered.
"Hm? Want to see my tails? It's soft!" Ahri squealed before she made one tail presenting in front of the toddler's blue eyes. Ruu slowly grasps the tail and stared. Ahri expects a good reaction from the baby but what she has seen is that Ruu is about to bite the tip of the tail.
"Ruu! No! Bad!" Irelia immediately stops the baby. "Sorry, my brother loves to chew his stuff toys. He must've mistaken the tail as one."
"It's okay, it only makes baby soooo.. cute~" Ahri squealed again.
"How adorable.." Evelynn giggled.
"Such youth, he looks like you." Kai'sa commented. Seeing the blue eyes of the baby resembles Irelia's. More vivid, sparkling.. as if the baby is seeing the first steps of the world.
..Yet.
"Enough of this, Newbs! The kid needs to learn, okay?" Akali snarled, her arms crossing as she slumps on the bench.
"Newb..s!" Uh.. as for the baby, he imitated Akali. "Newb!" He even jumped, having a wide one-toothed smile at the dancer. Akali, well.. she's surprised that the baby learned a word from her.
"Hey! Don't teach him words!" Irelia glared.
"I didn't! Geez. The kid is imitating what's around him."
"Nu-uh. Bad girl teaching.. the child new words." Evelynn smirks deviously.
"EVE!" Ahri laughs, of course, she supports the diva. Who wouldn't? She could feel that Eve almost slipped.
"Awri.. Newb?" The toddler asks Irelia. What.
"HA! The kid calls you a NEWB, finally!" Akali jeered. "Yes kid, she's a newb. Good work, Kid." She raised her hand, wanting to make a high-five. Ruu squeaked and slaps Akali's hand.
"Hey! Don't teach baby!" The fox pouted.
"Like Rogue, like child. Such spitting image.." Evelynn teased again.
"EVE!" Kai'sa laughs. "This is too much!"
"Oy." Beside is Irelia who is glaring at the ninja from the way she's teaching the toddler.
"Don't worry, Irelia. Nurse is here. Not going to influence kid. Huh." Akali proudly stated. "How about this."
Akali pulls out her notebook, she scribbled something to make sure the baby learns. She presented.
"MMM!"
"I presume you can see images. I know you, Kid."
"MMM!"
"So? Look at this." Akali shows the baby a couple of drawings. Those drawings are just simply the heads of the people around him including her. She has drawn Ahri by using a circle for the face, two triangles for the fox ears, six lines for the whiskers and a finish of wavy lines for the tails. Next, she has drawn Evelynn with two wavy lines as for the tail and those huge circles as for the shades she often wears. Next, Kai'sa is hard to explain but she identified Kai'sa by making a speech bubble that contains the word VOID. Next, it's a picture of herself, she even drew it just like the baby did back then at the hospital; this huge triangle totally calls for the mask and the slant lines for the eyes, oh yes, zigzag lines for the hair. Lastly, she has drawn Irelia fluidly, the drawing is precise, it totally looked like a person.
"Okay, Kid. Listen." Akali began. "This is a NEWB." She pointed Ahri drawing. The baby responded a clap.
"MMM! Newb!"
"Hey!" She heard Ahri gasps.
"This is a NEWB." She pointed Evelynn drawing next. Evelynn just opened her mouth to protest.
"MMM! Newb!" Ruu claps.
"This is a NEWB." She pointed Kai'sa drawing.
"And why there is a speech bubble with a Void there?" Kai'sa asks, but somewhat delighted.
"VOID NEWB!" Ruu happens to read the speech bubble.
"Perfect. That's right, she's the Void Newb." Akali snorted to ease her laughter. It made Kai'sa slack herself from the name, but it is so cute she made it an exception. Next she pointed her drawing about herself. "Of course, this is NOT a Newb. It's Nin-Ja."
"Pfft.. Not a newb." Irelia hides her laughter.
"Hehe.." Akali seemed to be enjoying herself and finding that Irelia is enjoying as well doubles up her mood to teach the baby.
"Nin-cha?" Ruu asks before he faces Irelia.
"Yes. Nin-cha." Irelia responded with a sweetest smile.
"Nin-cha! Nin-cha! Not newb." Ruu jumps, squeaking at the same time.
"That's right. Here's the last one." Akali now pointed Irelia drawing. This time, the K/DA members and Irelia gazed at it, seeing the drawing different among the rest.
"And why the darling is drawn perfectly? Are you making her a delightful.. exception?" Evelynn said, honestly, it's a beginning of the tease.
"Shut up, Eve!"
"Aw~"
"Tch! Okay, Kid!" Akali shrugs off to fight the seeping embarrassment. "This is definitely NOT a newb. It's Sis-ter I-Re-Lia."
"Shis! MMM!" It seems Ruu identified his sister by the drawing, he nudged Irelia, seeking fond attention.
"Hehe~ That's right! Good baby!" Irelia is about to give him a peck but the toddler just slapped her face. "Ow!"
"MMMM!"
"Oh? Baby likes to hit people. Just like Rogue.." Here we go again with Evelynn's talk.
"Yeah.. Hit.. people." Ahri leered.
"Was it that hitting I mean? You know.." Kai'sa thought.
"Hm.. Yes.. Hitting.. Flir—?" Ahri anticipated. "Oops? My bad."
"SHUT. UP." Akali do admits she did the hitting recently to Irelia. But that completely formed a huge blush on her. "Oh my god. SHUT UP."
"Yeah we shut up now. But don't forget 'that' huh. We must take our leave, it seems baby is too cute that we forgotten the time~!" Ahri finally said.
"Oh yes.. It seems we take our leave. Enjoy yourselves hm. " She ends winking at Irelia before she leered at the ninja. Ehem.. teasing again.
"Bye, Irelia! And bye baby!" Kai'sa casually waved at them. Phew. The members are gone finally. To break the point, Irelia's brothers came back as well. They apologized that they went too long as what they expected. Ruu went back from the strong arms of his big brother, they happily obliged to wait for Irelia as the dancer asked them to give her a minute to talk with Akali.
"So. We are leaving now. Aren't you going to file your shift today, Kali?"
"Two weeks, they still managing my papers for the shift. So, only at the food park."
"I see. So.. Thanks for today. Didn't know that we made contacts with your friends!"
"Yeah. Them. Don't bother. Haha."
"Hm. Why's that?"
"Well.." Akali braces herself, it's time to give the object. "Here."
"What's this?" Irelia admires the ticket, the large title says it all. 'K/DA on TOUR! Live at Valoran City Stadium' "VIP? Seriously? And.. not sure if I have seen this band before.. I may heard it on radio, I'm not much watching news as well.."
"Hmm.. You'll see.. It's an awesome band! You'll definitely love it. Four-man group, they also have Ionian members." Akali grins cheekily. Better hide the truth..
"Really?! That's wonderful!"
"And they dance."
"It's got to be a big concert. VIP.. You mean, I'll sit in front?"
"Yes. You'll see the band up close. Hehe.." Wow. Akali is getting excited.
"This has to be expensive."
"Ah. Ahri's rich, she gave me as well." Akali made a reason to hide the motive. "So.. Two days. Uh. Let's hang out.. is it okay?" She fidgeted, correction.. flustered.
"Of course!" Irelia jumped in excitement. But.. "You have your shift right?"
"Hm.. Don't worry about that. Huh. Leave it to me."
By the Gods, it's finally in. She successfully gave the ticket to Irelia under the reason of hanging out. She could feel the rising tension already, almost making her shiver down with dozens of amount of excitement. She wonders how Irelia would react if she's on stage. Wow.. This day is totally increasing Akali's energy a lot! Literally, she just can't wait for the promised day to come.
NOTE:
It's time~! OMG!
And baby Ruu now learned the word Newb. Leveled up! xD
I can't wait to see what's going on to the concert! And it's time for Akali to reveal her third job!
Next chapter is the thing! Thank you for reading! And reviews if ever I do have a chance again! Stay tuned!
