You and Akashi are business partners, nothing more, nothing less. But Akashi insists for more, and that is one of the reasons why you don't attend board meetings...

"Why attend, when your secretary can do everything for you?" You muttered as you start digging on the cake that you once despised.

"I know, but weren't you almost always present in all of the board meetings?" Your best friend told you.

"Almost." You noted, "This is one of those 'almost' days." You said to her, as you take a spoonful of the strawberry cake.

Your best friend eyed you.

"First time I see you eat strawberry cake, (name)." You friend commented.

"Yea. I just tried it while waiting for you." You said, "I didn't know it was this...delicious." you added, "I use to complain how much I don't like these things." You started bubbling about the cake.

"Uh-huh..." you friend was seriously surprised, but she didn't talk about it anymore; "last month, you went out with Akashi-san right?" She asked.

You froze and swallowed hard.

"Mm." You slightly looked up at her, "what of it?"

"Nothing really." Your friend said, "It's just that - what is it that you don't like from him?"

"He's mean and such- and arrogant bastard..." you murmured while you continue eating your cake. "Add to it he's sadistic- he should just find someone from the upper class and marry himself off- that way there'll be no problem for us here in th middle-class..." your friend just stared at you.

You frowned,

"What?" You asked her. "Don't look at me like I'm the only one thinking like that- oh gods, these strawberry cake aren't really that bad- but it's so sweet- but I just can't stop eating them." Your friend was still staring at you like she's too scared to comment.

You swallowed hard again, but this time harder than the earlier one,

"You- don't tell me, th-that there's someone behind me?" You said, and realization hit you.

And you looked over your shoulder slowly.

"Oda-san!" you sighed, "don't scare us like that."

"Sorry, Miss (l/n)." Oda-san smiled at you. "I came to personally deliver you the reports from the main branch and the one from Sapporo." He said. "I have compiled all of them and are all in order."

"Great. Thank you for bringing this all the way here from Tokyo."

"It's my job to look after you, Miss (l/n)." Oda-san bowed at you.

"You know what Oda-san, sit here, and order something you like." You decoded as you offered the empty seat beside you. "We were just talking about you just now."

Akashi threw the fax report that was sent to him by one of his men. After yesterday's board meeting where (name) didn't attend the second time that month, he sent one of his men to look for her.

First he took off from work and visited the cafe where you usually stays during the afternoon break, which you also owned and Akashi is your business partner-but you weren't there - your employees informed him that you were in vacation but didn't know where - that, Akashi accepted.

Second, he tried to reach you again through emails and business stuffs but your secretary were the one who responded to him. It was okay, and your secretary, Oda-san said that you'll be present at the next board meeting.

Third time he tried to reach you was on phone and it was hours before the board meeting, but your phone number was disconnected.

This time he asked your secretary about it but he only replied with the specific instructions you told Oda-san to tell him.

"You can contact her through the cafe's email line, sir." Oda-san said, "She said she'll be responding right back immediately if it's important."

This was the last straw for Akashi, for emailing the cafe's line won't get him anywhere where he wanted - so he sent someone to follow Oda...and that ended all Akashi's irritation...only to be replaced with madness.

"Ana! Contact Shintarou's clinic now!" Akashi's voice echoed throughout the entire floor - and those who were present scampered around to get their jobs done-asap.

Akashi's secretary Ana, transferred the call to Akashi's table where he listened to Midorima's explanation.

"She didn't come here - but instead, Kuroko was here the other day saying he needs to get something. I believe he was going to drop by at your office sometime this week. I'm just not sure when.

"And the result?" He asked.

"Kuroko has them-" Midorima's words was ignored when Akashi's eyes registered Kuroko's presence in front of him - he was with Oda.

"Just as I thought, you Oda-kun is really working under you Akashi. No wonder (name)-san can leave the cafe under his care anytime.

"Indeed. But he has sworn his loyalty to (name) - he won't even tell me anything I need to know.

"Of course, Akashi-sama." Oda bowed at Akashi, "you have instructed me to not betray (l/n)-san at any cost."

"Then, tell me why you are here?" Akashi said and placed the phone down without saying goodbye to Midorima.

"This." Kuroko handed Akashi an envelope. "I know you have already known everything, but I just wanted you to see it yourself." Kuroko said.

Akashi opened the envelope and grinned.

"I wonder of you really should look evilly happy like that, Akashi-kun." Kuroko wondered, "Unless, you have something to do with it." After that, Kuroko turned and walked away. "Send my regards to, (name)-san." He said lastly before he left Akashi's office. Behind him was Oda.

"Don't worry too much Oda-san. You'll be safe." Kuroko said to him.

"Hai." Oda responded, "I just came to deliver some reports to Akashi-sama."

You were quietly typing the reports that you received from the main branch earlier while having your afternoon snack when the waiters came and served a full course lunch in front of you.

"Um, excuse me." You said to the waiter who served you, "I didn't order these- ,I just want my regular pasta and soda."

"Sorry, but I was only asked to take this to your table." The waiter bowed at you.

"But-"

"But you need to eat, (name)." A voice too familiar to your ears finished your sentence for you - and you know exactly who this person is.

"Akashi..." your eyes narrowed at the sight of the red haired man with heterochromatic eyes who sat in front of you, at the empty seat.

"You look like you lost weight." He noted.

"Does it matter?" You answered trying to sound as normal as possible, when the fact that your whole being is trembling with fear and nervousness.

"Of course it matters." Akashi said.

"Whatever," you closed your laptop and glared at him, "so, what brings you here to Kyoto?" You questioned him. "I believe there is no problem at the main branch, I am making sure that everything is working good there and from all the rest of the branches." You assured him.

Akashi stared at you with seriousness. You can clearly see that he is not pleased.

"Should I ask how you found me?" You asked him, "or should I fire Oda-san?"

"I thought the answer was self-explanatory." Akashi's gaze didn't waver. "Oda-san has nothing to do with this." He added finally, "the fact that I tried to match his loyalty towards you with money degrades me. But worry not." He assured you, "He didn't talk at all-"

"You had me followed?" Your voice was flat and you laughed sarcastically, "What is it that you want from me, and that you'll go as far as hire a detective to know my whereabouts?"

"You don't know?" Akashi asked you in a tone he knew you know well. "Don't make me laugh."

"I'm not." You answered, taking his words literally. "And you're wasting my time." You stood up, taking your laptop under your arms and taking the rest of your things - but Akashi stopped you.

"I'll get straight to the point, (name)." Akashi said, stopping you from walking out from the table and leaving him. "My child, you're carrying him." He stated.

Your eyes turned deep (e/c) and you felt the sudden urge to faint from the information.

From the last two weeks after you decided to leave for vacation from work, you felt so tired and lazy, and the fact that you feel so...irritated and emotional and needy and everything.

And so, the other day. JUST the other day, you had yourself tested from any possible illness you thought you had acquired from travelling to Hokkaido the other week...but the result wasn't even out yet-and you had asked Kuroko to get the result from the hospital and have it send to you-it will probably arrive any moment now at the place where you are staying...but how come!?

Why a child? Why now? NO!
While I don't mind a child-I mind Akashi hell a lot!

"Last month, we went together at the charity ball - you and I together -"

"Shut it." You cut him mid-sentence and freed your hand from his grasp. "You're probably mistaken" you said to him and you begin walking away from. Him, out of the shop and somewhere far away.

'It only happened once- and he said he didn't- and I -'

*flashback*

Your thoughts wondered back to the night where you and Akashi went together to the charity ball that one of the business partners the two of you had in common...

You smiled here and there like a good woman that you are.

It was after the party, and you were always weak to any alcoholic substance- yet it was the only available liquid at the party - so you really had to take it and empty like 4 glasses of it until you feel like you can't handle anymore.

"Another miss (name)." David, one of the foreign investors who were interested at franchising your cafe offered you another - you accepted and smiled.

Your head spinned and you knew you can't handle anymore.

When was the last time you were drunk?
Like senior year at Rakuzan? When you went out with your friends for a farewell party? You were so wasted that time you threw up like shit...

And you don't want that to happen again. You stood beside Akashi; like nothing's wrong with you.

"Akashi-san." You murmured, "Can I leave now?" You asked quietly.

"Hm?" Akashi looked at you - you were staring at the glass of liquid on your glass and he immediately knows that you are out already.

He was impressed that you are still standing beside him like nothing and can smile perfectly when you're already out of your mind.

"Come, I'll take you home." Akashi said as he took the half emptied glass from your hand and placed it down on the table.

"Ah- I-No. You don't have to Akashi-san." You said to him, you never really wanted to be at the party- but probably Akashi wanted to be there so-

"Non-sense, (name)." Akashi said and took your hands with him and bid his farewell to his friends and partners and pulled you to where his car is parked. "Get in and put on your seatbelt." Akashi instructed.

Though dizzy and everything, you can follow directions and you can even walk straight well... but you were already quiet. Awfully quiet.

When Akashi pulled over in front of your apartment, you were already knocked out - the fact that Akashi knows where you live, and your every move doesn't mean he can enter your place casually...so he tried to wake you up...but failed.

So he brought you home, and when you felt the comfortable bed where he had laid you, a small part of consciousness woke you up and made you stare at the ceiling that wasn't familiar to you at all.

"Have you got a piece of your mind back already?" A voice started and you slowly looked behind you at the other side of the bed with a sleepy look in your eyes.

"Nn?" You nodded and you tried to stand up pathetically. "Akashi-san...?" You murmured and then you were up only to stumble back down when Akashi pulled you back down the bed.

"Ah-" you stared up at the person hovering you with wide eyes. "Akashi-san-" and the next thing was Akashi's lips were on yours and you didn't try to fight him at all.

When you wake up the second time you have recalled the incident that occurred earlier and blushed at the embarrassment and shame of your actions and letting him do as he wishes.

You immediately sat up and gathered the covers on your body to hide yourself.

Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!

"Ow-" but then in the middle of panicking around you felt an intense pain waist down, you let out a small cry.

"Does it hurt?" A hand wrapped around your waist from behind followed by a nuzzle on your back. "You shouldn't push yourself much. Come, sleep more." And you let yourself be pulled back down on the bed, Akashi pulled you closer to him and you were lest speechless throughout the day.

You honestly wished you fought him that night rather than letting him have the upper hand-but then after that night you have decided to finally draw a line between the two of you.

*end flashback*

"Just because something happened between us doesn't mean I am carrying your child." You said to him, "and also it doesn't mean you are the father of this child...you said. And also...if ever it was your child, there's no need for you to worry about him- he is mine- only mine." Akashi's face turned angrier at your words that he immediately pulled your arm making you wince.

"Make no mistake, love." He seethed, "I will be the father of that child- I am fully aware that there are no other man besides me who touched and can even touch you." He said, you were frozen right on the spot.

You are clearly informed that during your high school days that Akashi has a split personality and has a really bad sadistic streak inside him- you have learned that back at Rakuzan - but you never have thought that it was this scary that his gaze would sent you back down on your seat in shock.

"You're scaring me Akashi-san..." you honestly admitted staring up at him.

"Good. That was the plan." Akashi's hold on you loosened, yet he didn't let go of you.

"But - I am not-"

"Pregnant?" He finished for you. "Yes, yes you are pregnant - 3weeks." He added, and you were more surprised to know than him.

"As the father of our child, I will take full responsibility-"

"Akashi-san." You cut him again making him glare at you. "You don't have to take full responsibility, I can take care of it myself - if I am really pregnant, I will not keep the child away from you - you will have the chance to stay-"

"No." Akashi's voice hardened. "I refuse to be a weekend father."

"What?" You looked up at him with surprise and worried. "Y-you're going to take him away from me?" Your voice was filed with pain at the thought of carrying a child inside you and after giving birth it will be taken away...your face paled and all the blood from your face drained and you felt the need to be alone...for a very long time...

Before Akashi could give you a piece of his mind you stood up leaving all your things at your seat and walked to the direction of the women's comfort room only to faint on your way there...

The last thing you heard was Akashi's voice calling your name…

"Shit! (name)!"

To be continued.
