Rival Schools Fanfic-Akira In Love 3
By Chevi-Chan
~Could it be? Is it Really Love?~

Asamu, not sure of what to do next, lifted Akira and ran as fast as he could to his house, which was much closer than Akira's. He could feel Akira running a fever, which only made him run faster. In the meantime, Edge and Gan were having no luck in finding Akira, and didn't wanna return to Daigo until they did.
"We're in trouble...what if that jerk took advantage of Akira?!"
"He doesn't look like that type. What if somethng bad happened to both of them?"
"Akira's one tough chick when it comes to fights, so I wouldn't worry about that."
"Then where in the world could she be? If we don't find her, then Daigo will kill us."
"Let's just re-track where she went today."
"Allright."
In Asamu's home, it was very quiet. Akira was on the sofa in the living room, which was dimmed with light. Asamu was making some soup in the kitchen, and running cold water in a bowl to keep Akira's fever down.
"Uhh...what happened?"
"Oh you're awake! Thank goodness. I was really worried about you. Here." Asamu set a cold towel on her forehead.
"Uh. That's really cold...where am I? What happened Asamu?"
"You fainted in the rain, and I brought here at my house."
"Your house looks nice...either that or my dizziness is causing me to see things..."
"Ha ha...just get some rest. Why don't you give me your phone number and I'll call someone to come get you."
"No! Cough, cough!!!"
"Hey now, don't get up. Just rest. If you don't want anyone to come and get you, then I won't call anyone. Just lay back and I'll get you some soup, okay?"
"Kay..."
Akira listened to Asamu and tried to rest. She was also very worried about Daigo, Edge, and Gan.
"Here's your soup...Egg Drop."
"Oh, thanks Asamu. Hey, I don't want you to trouble yourself over me. I'm...achoo!"
"Hey, don't worry about it. My parents aren't home, so you won't be a bother, and besides, I'd never live it down if I just let you suffer there. If there's anything you need, name it."
Akira smiled slightly and tasted the soup...it was really good.
"Wow, this is delicious. Did you make this all by yourself?"
"Yeah..."
"I love it! Can I have some more when I'm done?"
"Ha, sure you can."
"Thank you Asamu. For everything."
"You're welcome...what? Something wrong?"
"You said you play the piano...and I see one over there..."
"Oh yeah, you wanted to hear me play, right? Sure...I'll play something for you."
Asamu sat at the piano and played a very enchanting melody for Akira.
"(How pretty...he such a nice guy. Still...he'd never think of me as...)"
"Story..."
"What?"
"This piece is called Story."
"That's all."
"Yeah, I guess it's just Story...but of what, I wonder..."
The rain was still pouring outside and it was almost as if it were storming outside while Asamu was playing.
"Do you want some more soup now?"
"Oh, please continue playing. I can wait. It's too beautiful to stop in the middle. I'm fine."
"Allright."
As Akira listened, she fell asleep. Asamu stopped playing about 15 minutes after. he set a light blanket over her and went to wash the dishes he used.
"Goodnight...Akira-Chan..."
Morning began to crack through the window curtains, and it hit Akira's face. She opened her eyes just a little, and saw Asamu asleep on the smaller sofa next to her. He looked very uncomfortable.
"Baka..." Akira just stared at the ceiling a while and noticed she didn't feel sick anymore...well, slightly, but not as bad as yesterday. She was really worried that Daigo might be angry with her, not to mention Edge and Gan. Asamu looked very peaceful while he was sleeping, not to mention he was snoring a little.
"I have to go...I'd better leave while Asamu is asleep."
Akira got up and made sure to give her blanket to Asamu, then quiet walked out, making sure to lock the door.
"Thank you...Asamu..."
As she began to walk away, Asamu caught up with her, still with sleep in his eyes.
"Asamu?"
"Hey you, what're you doing? You still look sick."
"I have to go home, Asamu. My brother is not going to be happy."
"At least let me come with you so I can explain to your brother, okay?"
"I dunno."
"What? Is there something wrong?"
"Not really..."
"Then c'mon, let's go."
"Oh...kay..."
Daigo waited on the porch of the front door with Edge and Gan.
"Edge, remind me to kick your ass later today, okay?"
"Yes Daigo..."
"Gan, you too."
"Allright..."
Two silhouttes began to appear over the horizon, heading toward the house.
"Hey, it's Akira!"
"Sister?"
Akira appeared, and Daigo immediately ran to her.
"Don't get too close, big brother. I haven't been feeling good..."
"I was so worried Akira. Where were you?"
Asamu stepped up.
"I took care of her, Daigo-Sama..."
Daigo glared at Asamu and flew a punch at him, knocking him down.
"Ah, Daigo?"
"Get out of here...now."
Asamu got up with the help of Akira, and wiped his face.
"Daigo...you still haven't forgiven me?"
"I don't wanna see you around me or Akira."
"Daigo, what's the matter?" Asked Akira.
"Akira, you just stay out of this."
"Daigo, will you just..."
Edge and Gan backed up Daigo.
"You heard Daigo, now get the heck outta here!"
"Right."
Asamu looked at Daigo, then at Akira. Akira had distress in her eyes.
"Akira...I'm sorry. Daigo."
With that, Asamu walked off.
"Huh? What the...big brother, what was that all about?"
Daigo refused to answer.
"Big brother???"
"..."
"Fine...Asamu!!!"
"Hey Akira!" Yelled Edge.
"Let her go, Edge."
"You mean that guy's...?" Asked Gan.
"Yeah...that was Yudachi."
Akira ran behind Asamu.
"Asamu, wait!"
"Akira, you heard your brother. You'd best listen to him."
"Not until I find out what's going on."
"Akira, listen to me. Go with your brother and forget about me. I knew this would eventually happen."
"If you knew, then why did you hang out with me these past three days? Why? What is it with you and Daigo? Does it have something to do with the gang?"
Asamu kneeled down and put his hand on Akira's shoulder.
"Akira...it's best you don't know. Daigo knows that too."
"Why won't you tell me? Aren't we supposed to be friends?"
"Yeah...at least that's what we got to be...is friends. Listen Akira, I've done some things I shouldn't have, but I don't regret my descision to be with you these past days. I wanted to see what the rough and tough Akira Kazama was all about. I appreciate it...your not at all like most girls. You're different."
"You act as if we'll never see eachother again."
"Maybe it's for the best."
"Dammit Asamu! Tell me what's going on?"
"I don't have the courage to tell you. My past is my business. Goodbye Akira. Give your brother my apologies."
Asamu turned around to walk away.
"Asamu! Do...do you believe in love at first sight?"
Asamu stopped, without turning around.
"Why?"
"Because...because I..."
"..."
"Because you're the only guy that I think I've..."
Asamu stared at her.
"Eventhough it's only been a few days, somehow, I can't help but feel this something about you."
Asamu turned around.
"I'll...have to get back to you..." Asamu walked away, as Akira stood there...so embarrassed and confused.
