Rival Schools Fanfic-Akira In Love 2
By Chevi-Chan
~First Date~
Akira headed back to Gedo. A cold wind began to blow.
"The sun is bright, but the wind is cold..." Akira saw Gan and Edge eating in the Auto Shop.
"Hey Gan...Edge."
"Akira!!! Where'd ya go?!" Edge yelled. Akira backed away, shocked that Edge would even think of yelling at her in that sort of tone.
"What?! I told you I'd be right back, and here I am! What's your problem?"
"It ain't like you to leave us like that. Did you really go off with some guy?"
"What me?! Of course not! Where'd you get a dumb idea like that?!" Edge got in her face.
"Then what exactly did you run off to go do...huh?"
Akira uppercutted him and kicked him into the wall.
"It's none of your business if you're gonna be rude about it!!! Hmph!" Akira stomped over to Gan and sat by him, drinking some tea.
"What's with him, Gan?"
"Kaguro said that he saw you with a guy, but we both know that's not true now, right?"
"Ye...yeah..." Akira stared at the tea in her cup and stopped talking. Edge got up, and was about to yell at Akira again, when he saw Daigo coming.
"Hey guys."
"Ah, Da-Daigo?! He-hey...how's it goin?"
A sweatdrop fell down Daigo's head as he saw Edge all bruised and bandaged up.
"What happened to you?"
"Oh, well you see...I got into a fight earlier and got pretty scuffed up..."
"Serves Edge right, blaming people for something they didn't do and yelling at them so rudely," said Akira.
Akira got up and sat on her motorcycle.
"You gonna ride today, Akira?" Akira shook her head.
"No...I think I'm gonna go home and play with Shiro-Chan. He's always home by himself, being all lonely and everything. I'll see you later, kay?"
Akira ran off. Daigo looked puzzled.
"What's with her lately? Did you know she went to the library yesterday?"
"No way?! Akira?"
"At the library?"
"Yeah, but she did say she went to get some books on motorcycles, but I only saw her with one book. Something called the Sound of Waves I think. Oh well, I don't think it's too much to worry about. I'm sure it's just some phase Akira's going through."
At the Kazama Residence, Akira was sitting on the couch playing with Shiro.
"Shiro-Chan..." Akira kinda stared off.
"Meow...?"
"Ha ha! This is just dumb. I'm acting all spacey over some dumb guy, that I don't even think is cute. Ha, no guy's gonna make me into some space case! Nope, not gonna happen." Shiro meowed and plopped in Akira's lap, purring.
"Nope, I definitely don't like him...not even a little. We're just gonna be friends...nothing more, right Shiro? Just stay as friends, and never admit anything, right?" Shiro just kept purring. "Right. Now, let's get our minds off Asamu, kay?"
Meanwhile, Asamu was walking through Gedo, with his thoughts on Akira.
"Man, there just ain't anything to do around here. I already finished every one of the books I have, and I don't feel like reading anyway. The thing is what am I gonna do tomorrow? I have no plans..." Asamu thought of Akira. "Maybe she'd like to do something. I have been hanging out with her since yesterday. And here I thought she was annoying, but she's actually pretty cool. Where am I gonna find her though?"
Edge and Gan came strolling through the halls and passed by Asamu. They gave no glances to eachother. Asamu kinda looked back at them.
"So, what're we gonna do about Akira, Edge?"
"Why don't we go hang out with her and Shiro. We have no other choice."
Asamu turned around. He heard Akira's name and was about to ask them, but decided not to, and ignored them.
"Che! Did you see that long-haired guy just now?"
"What about him?"
"Looked like a real 'Class A' jerk. Showed no emotion whatsoever!"
Gan paid no attention to Edge's remarks. They headed to Akira's house.
When they arrived, Shiro was scratching on the door.
"Hey, Shiro-Chan!" Gan picked Shiro up gently.
"Hey Akira!!!" Edge banged on the door. Akira opened it and kicked Edge to the ground.
"Baka!!! Daigo is taking a nap!" Edge wiped his chin and stood up. He slowly looked in the house and saw Daigo on the couch.
"Can you do anything?"
"Yeah, why?"
"We just wanna hang out."
"Allright."
"Let's get outta here. Hurry up."
As they ran from the house, Shiro stayed on the porch, but was pushed off when Daigo slammed the door open, looking very cranky.
"URGHHHH...EDGE!!! Dammit, you woke me up you idiot!!! Sigh, I don't have the energy to chase after him...YAWN...forget it."
Akira kinda skipped along the road. Gan ate some snacks he had in his pocket and Edge stared into the sky, not watching where he was going.
"Edge...you better look out."
"..."
"Edge...?"
"I know where I'm going...OOF!" Edge looked in front of him. He ran right into...Natsu. Sakura and Hinata stood by.
"You little worm! How dare you!!! Huh, oh, hello Edge..." Said Natsu, realizing it was Edge.
"Natsu? You should watch where yer walkin'!" Sweatdrops rolled down Akira and Gan's heads.
"And just who did we tell to look out?" Said Gan.
"Punk!!! I say hello, and you yell at me?" Natsu threw a volleyball at Edge's face. Akira couldn't help but sigh.
"It's his fault. We told him." Akira saw Sakura and Hinata come toward her.
"You have a very cute boyfriend, " said Hinata.
"Who is he?" Said Sakura. This immediately caught the attention of Edge, who was dusting himself off.
"I have no idea what your talking about. I don't have a boyfriend."
Sakura and Hinata looked at eachother, not convinced that Akira was telling the truth.
"Listen, if he's not your boyfriend then..."
"C'mon guys. I think he's had enough." Akira and Gan stepped over Edge, who was all dirty and crooked looking.
"We told you to look out." Said Akira and Gan in unison. Edge got up and breathed hard. He began yelling at Natsu, who already began walking away.
"I'm not done with you yet, you oversized giant girl!!! Come back and finish it!!!"
"Stop it Edge! It was all your fault this happened anyway."
"But she..." Akira flared at Edge as he sighed and dusted himself off.
"You had better listen from now on, baka!"
It started to rain and they all ran to Gedo.
"Now what? There's nothing to do on a rainy day."
"Your right. Let's all just go home then. Dinnertime anyway."
"Okay...see you later."
Akira headed home and saw a little wet Shiro on the porch.
"Oh, poor Shiro-Chan! C'mon, let's go get warm."
Inside, Daigo was watching television.
"Tadaima, Daigo."
"Okaeri Akira. Get into any trouble?"
"No, but Edge did...as usual."
"That dumb-ass woke me up earlier."
"Ha ha! You should have seen him earlier! He was beaten up by a girl."
Daigo began to laugh hysterically.
"I wish I had seen it. How'd he look afterward?"
"Like this."
Akira began impersonating Edge. Daigo and Akira laughed loudly. Akira had almost forgotten about Shiro.
"Oh, you poor baby. Let me dry you off." Akira grabbed a towel. "There now Shiro-Chan. I hope you're okay now." Shiro sneezed. "Did you get sick? Poor baby. I'm sorry." Akira rubbed her head against Shiro's and put Shiro by the heater to get warmed up. Then Akira went to cook dinner.
"Don't worry about it, Akira. I'll do it."
"No big brother...I really feel like cooking tonight. Is fried rice and miso soup okay?"
Daigo smiled. "Sure thing. I really appreciate it, sis."
Daigo sat back down and watched his little sister cooking away. He thought it was strange she had suddenly gotten so much energy, but he was happy to see her so energetic.
The next day was no different. Akira had gotten up much earlier than usual and made a delicious looking breakfast. Daigo was very impressed.
"Akira...I don't mind all this and all, but...why?"
"Why? Because I love you, silly."
"I love you too. Well, I have to be going."
"Wait...I made lunch also. It's not much, but it's enough."
"You're just full of surprises, aren't you? Huh?" Daigo noticed there were two other lunches.
"Umm...are those for...?"
"Oh! Gan and Edge."
"How nice. I bet they'll be thrilled."
"Yeah. Well, see you tonight Daigo."
"Allright, see ya. Thanks for lunch." Daigo stepped out and Akira waved as he left. She then walked back inside and sat to eat her breakfast. Shiro was asleep in the living room when there was a knock on the door. Akira opened it to find a slip of paper there on the porch.
"Hm? What's this?" She carefully unfolded it and read it silently to herself. "What? He wants to meet me for a what?!" She crumpled the note and dropped it, running into the house and searching everywhere in her room for something. Looking in closets, under every little item in her room, until she had found what she was searching for...
"This is perfect..." What she found was a blouse and skirt...she had been asked to meet Asamu under the bridge for what he said was just a "get together." She also added a pink ribbon in her hair and grabbed both lunches she had made.
"Perfect...hee hee. Edge and Gan will just have to buy their own lunch. She stepped out, a very girlish Akira.
On the way, Edge and Gan were headed for her, but they didn't bother waving or even greeting her.
"Hey Edge and Gan." Smiled Akira. They both looked at her strangely.
"Uh, do we know you?"
"What are you taking about? Baka..." Akira scoffed. Gan gasped.
"No way...Akira-San?" Edge was blown away, and Gan dropped his jaw in disbelief.
"What? What's the matter?"
"No way...this is joke right?" Edge tried to calm himself.
"Oh, I can tell you that this is no joke." Akira stomped off. Gan and Edge looked on in confusion.
"Uh...Gan...?"
"Ye-yeah Edge...?"
"That was Akira...wasn't it?"
"I hate to admit it..." Gan fell right where he was.
"Urgh, c'mon! We've got to follow her!" Edge ran ahead of Gan and followed Akira secretly. In the meantime, Akira had made it under the bridge in a few minutes. There she saw Asamu, looking the same as he always did. He wore a white button shirt, unbuttoned, with a red shirt beneath it. He smiled and got up when he saw Akira.
"You look nice today," he commented.
"Thanks...I um...brought lunch. Oh, I don't have any drinks!"
"Hey hey, don't panic. I'll pay for anything we need, okay?"
"I don't wanna bother you."
"You're not bothering me. It's fine. I am very glad that I get to try some of your home cooking, you know?"
"Well...yeah."
Edge and Gan were hiding close by. "Well what d'ya know...Kaguro was right for once."
"Edge, what're we gonna do? What if Daigo finds out...you know how he is."
"Well...we're gonna follow them. All the places they go, we're gonna follow them."
"Okay..."
Akira and Asamu were already gone by the time Edge and Gan stopped chattering.
"Damn! Where'd they go?!"
"There they are." Gan and Edge ran off to follow.
"So Akira...where would you like to go first?"
"I don't mind...where ever."
"Well...hm..." It was silent for awhile.
"I can't really think of anything," said Akira.
"Neither can I. Well, what do you like to do?"
"Umm...let's just eat lunch first. Why don't we eat in the cafe over there. They won't mind if we brought our own lunches, I'm sure. Then we could order drinks. After that, we could...go to the arcade. Sound good?"
"Fine with me. Let's go." They entered the cafe. Asamu ordered two sodas and they sat in the middle of the cafe. Edge and Gan stayed outside, as not to be noticed, but there was a slight problem.
"I can't see them! Dammit! There's too many people in there! They're in the way!"
"Oh well, we'll just have to wait out here."
"Oh no we're not...we're going in!"
"But how...Akira will see us."
Edge looked around and saw a costume shop on the other side of the road.
"Oh no she won't. C'mon!"
"You're not serious?"
Edge and Gan went in the costume shop, and when they came out, Edge was dressed nice casual looking clothes...while Gan was dressed up as a woman. They walked in the cafe. A waitress came to greet them. At first she closed her eyes and bowed, but when she opened them, she backed away.
"Ahem, may we get a table," said Edge in a gentlemanly voice.
"Yes, of course...hee hee!" Said Gan.
Edge elbowed Gan in the side and whispered.
"Don't laugh like that...it's scary."
"Look who's talkin'?"
"Um, right this way..." said the waitress. They were seated a little ways from Akira and Asamu.
"What would you like to order?"
"Umm...we'll have some coffee and donuts please. Hee hee!" A sweatdrop rushed down Edge's head, totally embarrassed.
"I told you not to laugh like that! It's so...freaky."
"Well, do you want to get caught?"
"No...and why coffee and donuts? Are we police?"
"Hey, it was the only thing I could think of that wasn't weird." Gan took out a compact.
"What're you doing with that?"
"I'm checking them out."
"Well?"
"They're just laughing and eating."
"Why'd she lie to us like that? We asked her nicely."
"You mean I did. You practically yelled at her the other day about it."
"It doesn't make sense. Why him?"
"What?"
"Why did she chose such a...you know..."
"He's actually attractive, you mean...right?"
"I hate to admit it." The waitress brought them what they ordered and they continued to spy. In the meantime, Akira was laughing at Asamu impersonating some of his favorite singers.
"That's really good, Asamu-san. I like it."
"Really? You're being kind."
"So, have you always been going to Gedo, or what? Of all the years I've been there, I've never once noticed you." Asamu kept silent for a few seconds, concentrating on his soda, fizzing inside the glass.
"What's wrong?"
"To be honest, I haven't always been at Gedo. I transferred there near the end of my Junior year from another school."
"Listen, you don't have to tell me. There are things that shouldn't be brought up on dates."
"Huh? You think this is a date? As in, an 'I like you' sort of date?"
"Wha? Oh no, nothing like that."
"You're lying again. Why would you dress like that then?"
"Well...I don't know...I never dress like this, you know."
"I figured that when I first saw you."
"Oh, you mean when I hit you a few days ago. Ha ha ha!"
"Yeah, and I got a bump from that incident. Gotta be more careful when I see you riding. I might get killed if I get in your way again."
"I wouldn't kill you."
"Yeah, I guess not."
"Wanna get going now. Let's get going to the arcade."
"Allright."
As Akira and Asamu exited the cafe, Gan and Edge were quarreling.
"Dammit, Gan! We don't have time to finish this food! Let's go before we lose them!"
"But I'm starving!!!"
"You just ate before we got here, you human garbage disposal!"
"Urgh...huh?"
The cafe manager stood right next to the, extending his hand for their payment and asking them to leave. Edge and Gan were embarrassed for causing such ruckus. Not only that, but they had no money. The manager ordered them to pay immediately, but they ran out of the cafe.
"Run faster you idiot...they'll catch us!!!"
"I'm going as fast as I can...hee hee!"
"Will you stop with that laugh already! Look, there they go...toward the Arcade! C'mon, we gotta get rid of these clothes!"
Edge and Gan turn a corner before the manager and waitresses reach them. They walk out of the corner in their regular wear, as they see the cafe personnel give up.
"Ha, we showed them, eh Gan?"
"That was fun...can we do that again sometime?"
"No! I never wanna do that again! Let's go."
Inside the arcade, Asamu was trying his luck at a UFO Catcher Machine, with his eyes locked on a Hokuto Doll.
"C'mon...almost..."
"You can do it Asamu! Ganbare!"
"I got it!"
Asamu dropped the doll into the hole, and recieved his prize.
"Here, you want it?"
"What? I thought you were the biggest Hokuto fan? I don't wanna deprive you of it."
"Nah...you go ahead."
"No way...I don't want it, Asamu. How about I give you another 100 yen, and you get me another, okay?"
"Fine, if that's what you want."
Asamu was given the money and tried his luck at getting another doll as a substitute for the Hokuto.
"Which one do you want?"
"Hmm...Guy!"
"What...Guy?"
"Yeah, is there something wrong?"
"That guy's a wuss."
"Whatever! I suppose you think you're better, huh?"
"That's right. If there were a doll of me, then you'd be wanting me."
"Just get me the doll, hotshot."
"Fine."
Edge and Gan watched closely nearby, inside a Sticker Photo Machine.
"You know what...I'm tired of following them. Can we go home?"
"Are you crazy, Gan? No way!"
"I think you're just jealous, Edge."
Edge hit him on the head.
"Shut up!"
"Ahem!"
The Arcade manager walked up to them with a mean look on his face.
"If you're not using the machine, then get out of it. Other people may want to use it, understand?"
"Ah, yessir."
Edge and Gan stepped out and quickly moved behind an arcade machine.
"No what are they doing...I can't see. Gan, move."
"I can't...I think I'm stuck."
"I am never taking you with me on a spying mission ever again."
Asamu handed Akira the Guy doll.
"Happy?"
"Are you jealous, Asamu?"
"Of a doll? You're crazy."
"Really? Play me at this game and see how crazy I really am."
"Marvel Vs. Capcom 2? You sure?"
"Of course I am."
"Don't say I didn't warn you."
They put in yen, and chose their players. Akira chose Sonson, Chun-Li, and Hayato, while Asamu chose Ryu, Blackheart, and Servbot.
"The legoman?"
"You got a problem with it?"
"Ha ha! Prepare to get wasted!"
After playing the first round, Asamu had beaten her Sonson with his Ryu, then his Ryu was beaten by her Chun-Li. His Blackheart demolished Chun-Li, and all Akira had left was her Hayato. Finally, the Blackheart was beaten, but Hayato was beaten by the Servbot.
"Ha! I showed you! This little legoman just kicked your butt!"
"You're such a glutton for victory in these games, aren't you?"
"They don't call me the Streetfighter Champ for nothin'."
"I let you win."
"Sure you did Akira."
"Well, let's keep playing some rounds, okay?"
"Sure."
Edge and Gan gave up. They headed back to Gedo to find Daigo.
"Daigo isn't here. What a bummer."
"I'm too tired to walk anymore. We've been following Akira all over town and got into all sorts of trouble. I just wanna eat."
"You and you're stupid eating habits. Exactly how many times do you eat a day?"
"I'm not gonna answer that."
"I figured you wouldn't. We should've played some games at the arcade. Oh well..."
"Hey guys, what's up?"
Edge and Gan immediately turned around. It was Daigo and a few of his gang.
"Oh, hey Daigo."
"Where's Akira? Have you seen her today?"
"Oh, we've seen her all day actu--mph!"
"Nope, not since this morning, or I mean, afternoon."
"Oh, so she must've just given you those big boxed lunches she made and split, huh? Maybe she's at home."
Gan pushed Edge away.
"She made us big boxed lunches?! She didn't give us any?"
"What?"
"Gan, you moron!"
"What the heck's goin' on?"
"No, don't get upset Daigo..."
"I'm listening Edge."
"Well..."
Edge and Gan explained everything to Daigo. At the end of the discussion, Daigo stayed very quiet. Everyone around him began to back away from him.
"Daigo-Sama?"
"Da--Daigo?"
"I'm fine...really...YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS PUNK'S NAME?!"
"No..."
"I want you two to go and find her, now!!!!!!!!!"
"Right away!"
"(If their description of this guy is correct, then that guy may be...)"
It began to pour rain, as Akira and Asamu headed out of the arcade. The sun was setting, and they had completely lost track of time.
"We'll never make it in this rain."
"I know...ah--achoo!!!"
"What's wrong Akira?"
"Well...about a half an hour ago, I started feeling a little dizzy and my nose felt congested...I think I..."
Akira began to collapse.
"Akira! Akira! Hey kiddo, c'mon!"
"Don't call me that...*cough cough* I think I caught my cat's cold or something."
"I'll take you home."
"No...my...ughhh..."
Akira fainted and fell into Asamu's arms.
"Akira!!!"

~First Date~
Akira headed back to Gedo. A cold wind began to blow.
"The sun is bright, but the wind is cold..." Akira saw Gan and Edge eating in the Auto Shop.
"Hey Gan...Edge."
"Akira!!! Where'd ya go?!" Edge yelled. Akira backed away, shocked that Edge would even think of yelling at her in that sort of tone.
"What?! I told you I'd be right back, and here I am! What's your problem?"
"It ain't like you to leave us like that. Did you really go off with some guy?"
"What me?! Of course not! Where'd you get a dumb idea like that?!" Edge got in her face.
"Then what exactly did you run off to go do...huh?"
Akira uppercutted him and kicked him into the wall.
"It's none of your business if you're gonna be rude about it!!! Hmph!" Akira stomped over to Gan and sat by him, drinking some tea.
"What's with him, Gan?"
"Kaguro said that he saw you with a guy, but we both know that's not true now, right?"
"Ye...yeah..." Akira stared at the tea in her cup and stopped talking. Edge got up, and was about to yell at Akira again, when he saw Daigo coming.
"Hey guys."
"Ah, Da-Daigo?! He-hey...how's it goin?"
A sweatdrop fell down Daigo's head as he saw Edge all bruised and bandaged up.
"What happened to you?"
"Oh, well you see...I got into a fight earlier and got pretty scuffed up..."
"Serves Edge right, blaming people for something they didn't do and yelling at them so rudely," said Akira.
Akira got up and sat on her motorcycle.
"You gonna ride today, Akira?" Akira shook her head.
"No...I think I'm gonna go home and play with Shiro-Chan. He's always home by himself, being all lonely and everything. I'll see you later, kay?"
Akira ran off. Daigo looked puzzled.
"What's with her lately? Did you know she went to the library yesterday?"
"No way?! Akira?"
"At the library?"
"Yeah, but she did say she went to get some books on motorcycles, but I only saw her with one book. Something called the Sound of Waves I think. Oh well, I don't think it's too much to worry about. I'm sure it's just some phase Akira's going through."
At the Kazama Residence, Akira was sitting on the couch playing with Shiro.
"Shiro-Chan..." Akira kinda stared off.
"Meow...?"
"Ha ha! This is just dumb. I'm acting all spacey over some dumb guy, that I don't even think is cute. Ha, no guy's gonna make me into some space case! Nope, not gonna happen." Shiro meowed and plopped in Akira's lap, purring.
"Nope, I definitely don't like him...not even a little. We're just gonna be friends...nothing more, right Shiro? Just stay as friends, and never admit anything, right?" Shiro just kept purring. "Right. Now, let's get our minds off Asamu, kay?"
Meanwhile, Asamu was walking through Gedo, with his thoughts on Akira.
"Man, there just ain't anything to do around here. I already finished every one of the books I have, and I don't feel like reading anyway. The thing is what am I gonna do tomorrow? I have no plans..." Asamu thought of Akira. "Maybe she'd like to do something. I have been hanging out with her since yesterday. And here I thought she was annoying, but she's actually pretty cool. Where am I gonna find her though?"
Edge and Gan came strolling through the halls and passed by Asamu. They gave no glances to eachother. Asamu kinda looked back at them.
"So, what're we gonna do about Akira, Edge?"
"Why don't we go hang out with her and Shiro. We have no other choice."
Asamu turned around. He heard Akira's name and was about to ask them, but decided not to, and ignored them.
"Che! Did you see that long-haired guy just now?"
"What about him?"
"Looked like a real 'Class A' jerk. Showed no emotion whatsoever!"
Gan paid no attention to Edge's remarks. They headed to Akira's house.
When they arrived, Shiro was scratching on the door.
"Hey, Shiro-Chan!" Gan picked Shiro up gently.
"Hey Akira!!!" Edge banged on the door. Akira opened it and kicked Edge to the ground.
"Baka!!! Daigo is taking a nap!" Edge wiped his chin and stood up. He slowly looked in the house and saw Daigo on the couch.
"Can you do anything?"
"Yeah, why?"
"We just wanna hang out."
"Allright."
"Let's get outta here. Hurry up."
As they ran from the house, Shiro stayed on the porch, but was pushed off when Daigo slammed the door open, looking very cranky.
"URGHHHH...EDGE!!! Dammit, you woke me up you idiot!!! Sigh, I don't have the energy to chase after him...YAWN...forget it."
Akira kinda skipped along the road. Gan ate some snacks he had in his pocket and Edge stared into the sky, not watching where he was going.
"Edge...you better look out."
"..."
"Edge...?"
"I know where I'm going...OOF!" Edge looked in front of him. He ran right into...Natsu. Sakura and Hinata stood by.
"You little worm! How dare you!!! Huh, oh, hello Edge..." Said Natsu, realizing it was Edge.
"Natsu? You should watch where yer walkin'!" Sweatdrops rolled down Akira and Gan's heads.
"And just who did we tell to look out?" Said Gan.
"Punk!!! I say hello, and you yell at me?" Natsu threw a volleyball at Edge's face. Akira couldn't help but sigh.
"It's his fault. We told him." Akira saw Sakura and Hinata come toward her.
"You have a very cute boyfriend, " said Hinata.
"Who is he?" Said Sakura. This immediately caught the attention of Edge, who was dusting himself off.
"I have no idea what your talking about. I don't have a boyfriend."
Sakura and Hinata looked at eachother, not convinced that Akira was telling the truth.
"Listen, if he's not your boyfriend then..."
"C'mon guys. I think he's had enough." Akira and Gan stepped over Edge, who was all dirty and crooked looking.
"We told you to look out." Said Akira and Gan in unison. Edge got up and breathed hard. He began yelling at Natsu, who already began walking away.
"I'm not done with you yet, you oversized giant girl!!! Come back and finish it!!!"
"Stop it Edge! It was all your fault this happened anyway."
"But she..." Akira flared at Edge as he sighed and dusted himself off.
"You had better listen from now on, baka!"
It started to rain and they all ran to Gedo.
"Now what? There's nothing to do on a rainy day."
"Your right. Let's all just go home then. Dinnertime anyway."
"Okay...see you later."
Akira headed home and saw a little wet Shiro on the porch.
"Oh, poor Shiro-Chan! C'mon, let's go get warm."
Inside, Daigo was watching television.
"Tadaima, Daigo."
"Okaeri Akira. Get into any trouble?"
"No, but Edge did...as usual."
"That dumb-ass woke me up earlier."
"Ha ha! You should have seen him earlier! He was beaten up by a girl."
Daigo began to laugh hysterically.
"I wish I had seen it. How'd he look afterward?"
"Like this."
Akira began impersonating Edge. Daigo and Akira laughed loudly. Akira had almost forgotten about Shiro.
"Oh, you poor baby. Let me dry you off." Akira grabbed a towel. "There now Shiro-Chan. I hope you're okay now." Shiro sneezed. "Did you get sick? Poor baby. I'm sorry." Akira rubbed her head against Shiro's and put Shiro by the heater to get warmed up. Then Akira went to cook dinner.
"Don't worry about it, Akira. I'll do it."
"No big brother...I really feel like cooking tonight. Is fried rice and miso soup okay?"
Daigo smiled. "Sure thing. I really appreciate it, sis."
Daigo sat back down and watched his little sister cooking away. He thought it was strange she had suddenly gotten so much energy, but he was happy to see her so energetic.
The next day was no different. Akira had gotten up much earlier than usual and made a delicious looking breakfast. Daigo was very impressed.
"Akira...I don't mind all this and all, but...why?"
"Why? Because I love you, silly."
"I love you too. Well, I have to be going."
"Wait...I made lunch also. It's not much, but it's enough."
"You're just full of surprises, aren't you? Huh?" Daigo noticed there were two other lunches.
"Umm...are those for...?"
"Oh! Gan and Edge."
"How nice. I bet they'll be thrilled."
"Yeah. Well, see you tonight Daigo."
"Allright, see ya. Thanks for lunch." Daigo stepped out and Akira waved as he left. She then walked back inside and sat to eat her breakfast. Shiro was asleep in the living room when there was a knock on the door. Akira opened it to find a slip of paper there on the porch.
"Hm? What's this?" She carefully unfolded it and read it silently to herself. "What? He wants to meet me for a what?!" She crumpled the note and dropped it, running into the house and searching everywhere in her room for something. Looking in closets, under every little item in her room, until she had found what she was searching for...
"This is perfect..." What she found was a blouse and skirt...she had been asked to meet Asamu under the bridge for what he said was just a "get together." She also added a pink ribbon in her hair and grabbed both lunches she had made.
"Perfect...hee hee. Edge and Gan will just have to buy their own lunch. She stepped out, a very girlish Akira.
On the way, Edge and Gan were headed for her, but they didn't bother waving or even greeting her.
"Hey Edge and Gan." Smiled Akira. They both looked at her strangely.
"Uh, do we know you?"
"What are you taking about? Baka..." Akira scoffed. Gan gasped.
"No way...Akira-San?" Edge was blown away, and Gan dropped his jaw in disbelief.
"What? What's the matter?"
"No way...this is joke right?" Edge tried to calm himself.
"Oh, I can tell you that this is no joke." Akira stomped off. Gan and Edge looked on in confusion.
"Uh...Gan...?"
"Ye-yeah Edge...?"
"That was Akira...wasn't it?"
"I hate to admit it..." Gan fell right where he was.
"Urgh, c'mon! We've got to follow her!" Edge ran ahead of Gan and followed Akira secretly. In the meantime, Akira had made it under the bridge in a few minutes. There she saw Asamu, looking the same as he always did. He wore a white button shirt, unbuttoned, with a red shirt beneath it. He smiled and got up when he saw Akira.
"You look nice today," he commented.
"Thanks...I um...brought lunch. Oh, I don't have any drinks!"
"Hey hey, don't panic. I'll pay for anything we need, okay?"
"I don't wanna bother you."
"You're not bothering me. It's fine. I am very glad that I get to try some of your home cooking, you know?"
"Well...yeah."
Edge and Gan were hiding close by. "Well what d'ya know...Kaguro was right for once."
"Edge, what're we gonna do? What if Daigo finds out...you know how he is."
"Well...we're gonna follow them. All the places they go, we're gonna follow them."
"Okay..."
Akira and Asamu were already gone by the time Edge and Gan stopped chattering.
"Damn! Where'd they go?!"
"There they are." Gan and Edge ran off to follow.
"So Akira...where would you like to go first?"
"I don't mind...where ever."
"Well...hm..." It was silent for awhile.
"I can't really think of anything," said Akira.
"Neither can I. Well, what do you like to do?"
"Umm...let's just eat lunch first. Why don't we eat in the cafe over there. They won't mind if we brought our own lunches, I'm sure. Then we could order drinks. After that, we could...go to the arcade. Sound good?"
"Fine with me. Let's go." They entered the cafe. Asamu ordered two sodas and they sat in the middle of the cafe. Edge and Gan stayed outside, as not to be noticed, but there was a slight problem.
"I can't see them! Dammit! There's too many people in there! They're in the way!"
"Oh well, we'll just have to wait out here."
"Oh no we're not...we're going in!"
"But how...Akira will see us."
Edge looked around and saw a costume shop on the other side of the road.
"Oh no she won't. C'mon!"
"You're not serious?"
Edge and Gan went in the costume shop, and when they came out, Edge was dressed nice casual looking clothes...while Gan was dressed up as a woman. They walked in the cafe. A waitress came to greet them. At first she closed her eyes and bowed, but when she opened them, she backed away.
"Ahem, may we get a table," said Edge in a gentlemanly voice.
"Yes, of course...hee hee!" Said Gan.
Edge elbowed Gan in the side and whispered.
"Don't laugh like that...it's scary."
"Look who's talkin'?"
"Um, right this way..." said the waitress. They were seated a little ways from Akira and Asamu.
"What would you like to order?"
"Umm...we'll have some coffee and donuts please. Hee hee!" A sweatdrop rushed down Edge's head, totally embarrassed.
"I told you not to laugh like that! It's so...freaky."
"Well, do you want to get caught?"
"No...and why coffee and donuts? Are we police?"
"Hey, it was the only thing I could think of that wasn't weird." Gan took out a compact.
"What're you doing with that?"
"I'm checking them out."
"Well?"
"They're just laughing and eating."
"Why'd she lie to us like that? We asked her nicely."
"You mean I did. You practically yelled at her the other day about it."
"It doesn't make sense. Why him?"
"What?"
"Why did she chose such a...you know..."
"He's actually attractive, you mean...right?"
"I hate to admit it." The waitress brought them what they ordered and they continued to spy. In the meantime, Akira was laughing at Asamu impersonating some of his favorite singers.
"That's really good, Asamu-san. I like it."
"Really? You're being kind."
"So, have you always been going to Gedo, or what? Of all the years I've been there, I've never once noticed you." Asamu kept silent for a few seconds, concentrating on his soda, fizzing inside the glass.
"What's wrong?"
"To be honest, I haven't always been at Gedo. I transferred there near the end of my Junior year from another school."
"Listen, you don't have to tell me. There are things that shouldn't be brought up on dates."
"Huh? You think this is a date? As in, an 'I like you' sort of date?"
"Wha? Oh no, nothing like that."
"You're lying again. Why would you dress like that then?"
"Well...I don't know...I never dress like this, you know."
"I figured that when I first saw you."
"Oh, you mean when I hit you a few days ago. Ha ha ha!"
"Yeah, and I got a bump from that incident. Gotta be more careful when I see you riding. I might get killed if I get in your way again."
"I wouldn't kill you."
"Yeah, I guess not."
"Wanna get going now. Let's get going to the arcade."
"Allright."
As Akira and Asamu exited the cafe, Gan and Edge were quarreling.
"Dammit, Gan! We don't have time to finish this food! Let's go before we lose them!"
"But I'm starving!!!"
"You just ate before we got here, you human garbage disposal!"
"Urgh...huh?"
The cafe manager stood right next to the, extending his hand for their payment and asking them to leave. Edge and Gan were embarrassed for causing such ruckus. Not only that, but they had no money. The manager ordered them to pay immediately, but they ran out of the cafe.
"Run faster you idiot...they'll catch us!!!"
"I'm going as fast as I can...hee hee!"
"Will you stop with that laugh already! Look, there they go...toward the Arcade! C'mon, we gotta get rid of these clothes!"
Edge and Gan turn a corner before the manager and waitresses reach them. They walk out of the corner in their regular wear, as they see the cafe personnel give up.
"Ha, we showed them, eh Gan?"
"That was fun...can we do that again sometime?"
"No! I never wanna do that again! Let's go."
Inside the arcade, Asamu was trying his luck at a UFO Catcher Machine, with his eyes locked on a Hokuto Doll.
"C'mon...almost..."
"You can do it Asamu! Ganbare!"
"I got it!"
Asamu dropped the doll into the hole, and recieved his prize.
"Here, you want it?"
"What? I thought you were the biggest Hokuto fan? I don't wanna deprive you of it."
"Nah...you go ahead."
"No way...I don't want it, Asamu. How about I give you another 100 yen, and you get me another, okay?"
"Fine, if that's what you want."
Asamu was given the money and tried his luck at getting another doll as a substitute for the Hokuto.
"Which one do you want?"
"Hmm...Guy!"
"What...Guy?"
"Yeah, is there something wrong?"
"That guy's a wuss."
"Whatever! I suppose you think you're better, huh?"
"That's right. If there were a doll of me, then you'd be wanting me."
"Just get me the doll, hotshot."
"Fine."
Edge and Gan watched closely nearby, inside a Sticker Photo Machine.
"You know what...I'm tired of following them. Can we go home?"
"Are you crazy, Gan? No way!"
"I think you're just jealous, Edge."
Edge hit him on the head.
"Shut up!"
"Ahem!"
The Arcade manager walked up to them with a mean look on his face.
"If you're not using the machine, then get out of it. Other people may want to use it, understand?"
"Ah, yessir."
Edge and Gan stepped out and quickly moved behind an arcade machine.
"No what are they doing...I can't see. Gan, move."
"I can't...I think I'm stuck."
"I am never taking you with me on a spying mission ever again."
Asamu handed Akira the Guy doll.
"Happy?"
"Are you jealous, Asamu?"
"Of a doll? You're crazy."
"Really? Play me at this game and see how crazy I really am."
"Marvel Vs. Capcom 2? You sure?"
"Of course I am."
"Don't say I didn't warn you."
They put in yen, and chose their players. Akira chose Sonson, Chun-Li, and Hayato, while Asamu chose Ryu, Blackheart, and Servbot.
"The legoman?"
"You got a problem with it?"
"Ha ha! Prepare to get wasted!"
After playing the first round, Asamu had beaten her Sonson with his Ryu, then his Ryu was beaten by her Chun-Li. His Blackheart demolished Chun-Li, and all Akira had left was her Hayato. Finally, the Blackheart was beaten, but Hayato was beaten by the Servbot.
"Ha! I showed you! This little legoman just kicked your butt!"
"You're such a glutton for victory in these games, aren't you?"
"They don't call me the Streetfighter Champ for nothin'."
"I let you win."
"Sure you did Akira."
"Well, let's keep playing some rounds, okay?"
"Sure."
Edge and Gan gave up. They headed back to Gedo to find Daigo.
"Daigo isn't here. What a bummer."
"I'm too tired to walk anymore. We've been following Akira all over town and got into all sorts of trouble. I just wanna eat."
"You and you're stupid eating habits. Exactly how many times do you eat a day?"
"I'm not gonna answer that."
"I figured you wouldn't. We should've played some games at the arcade. Oh well..."
"Hey guys, what's up?"
Edge and Gan immediately turned around. It was Daigo and a few of his gang.
"Oh, hey Daigo."
"Where's Akira? Have you seen her today?"
"Oh, we've seen her all day actu--mph!"
"Nope, not since this morning, or I mean, afternoon."
"Oh, so she must've just given you those big boxed lunches she made and split, huh? Maybe she's at home."
Gan pushed Edge away.
"She made us big boxed lunches?! She didn't give us any?"
"What?"
"Gan, you moron!"
"What the heck's goin' on?"
"No, don't get upset Daigo..."
"I'm listening Edge."
"Well..."
Edge and Gan explained everything to Daigo. At the end of the discussion, Daigo stayed very quiet. Everyone around him began to back away from him.
"Daigo-Sama?"
"Da--Daigo?"
"I'm fine...really...YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS PUNK'S NAME?!"
"No..."
"I want you two to go and find her, now!!!!!!!!!"
"Right away!"
"(If their description of this guy is correct, then that guy may be...)"
It began to pour rain, as Akira and Asamu headed out of the arcade. The sun was setting, and they had completely lost track of time.
"We'll never make it in this rain."
"I know...ah--achoo!!!"
"What's wrong Akira?"
"Well...about a half an hour ago, I started feeling a little dizzy and my nose felt congested...I think I..."
Akira began to collapse.
"Akira! Akira! Hey kiddo, c'mon!"
"Don't call me that...*cough cough* I think I caught my cat's cold or something."
"I'll take you home."
"No...my...ughhh..."
Akira fainted and fell into Asamu's arms.
"Akira!!!"
