Akari couldn't get what Momoi said and she couldn't believe how oblivious she was. This wasn't good at all. She never had any loving feelings for Akashi except for being like a brother to her, but that's just all. Her brain was pounding each time she thinks about it. The blue haired didn't notice where she was going so she hit a light pole and her friend gasped shockingly. "Sumi-chan! Are you alright?" Momoi asked worriedly.
The other girl rubbed her forehead, groaning in pain, "Where did this come from?" Akari muttered to herself. The pink haired stared at her hurt and confused friend weirdly. "Are you sure?" She asked once more and Akari slowly shook her head. The two of them went to the stadium where the last game will be held. They both sat down somewhere and the blue haired hid her head under her arms. Momoi smiled softly at her friend, "How's America?" She asked, linking her hands together.
"I really miss it. I want to go back there." Akari replied back. "It's better there than over here?" Momoi asked blinking her eyes in curiosity. The blue haired sat up properly, "That's not what I meant. I miss my friends that I made over there and I don't know… Coming back here, it doesn't feel right at all." Akari told her friend with a tone that is filled with sadness.
Momoi was about to talk until her phone rang and she looked at the ID, "Aomine-kun? What does he want?" She talked to herself. She glanced at her friend with an apologetic expression. "Go." Akari said smiling at her friend. When the pink haired girl got up, Akari was left alone, sitting by herself and some guys were staring at her. "Dude! She's hot~" A guy wearing a beanie said. His friends has a wide grin on their face.
The group of guys walked towards the lonely blue haired girl without her knowing their presence until one of them spoke up. "Why is a girl like you sitting all by yourself? Do you want us to accompany you?" A guy wearing shades asked in a devilish smirk. The girl rolled her eyes as she heard that. She didn't bother to look at their faces and continued to look somewhere else, ignoring the guys that won't dare to walk away.
"Tsk! Is this chic deaf?" Another one asked irritated. "No, she isn't. She doesn't associate with people like you." A familiar voice said and the guys turned around to see a guy with a dark skin tone and his hair was shaded in dark blue. Akari turned to see who the guy was and it was Aomine! Momoi was behind him, smiling at her friend.
"Beat it!" Aomine's expression darkened and the guys fled within seconds. The dark blue haired let out a displeasing sigh, scratching the back of his hair, he eyed the girl, "You grew…" His eyes were staring at a certain chest area. The two girls followed his gaze and Akari's face turned a dark shade of red. The girls punched him and called him a pervert at the same time. He shouts out in pain, "Shit! That hurts!" He growled at them, but they only scowled at him.
After everything was a bit calm, the three of them started to talk to one another. "Eh? You didn't know that Akashi likes you? How oblivious can you be?" Aomine stared at Akari with disbelief. The light blue haired girl crossed her arms, puffing the right side of her cheeks, "Sorry…" She muttered. Momoi giggled and placed her palm on her cheek, "But the two of you do make a good couple." She said, not even teasing about it. Aomine snickered to himself. However, Akari caught his snickering and splashed water at him.
"Don't you come here late? Like when the game starts and you come right after?" Akari narrowed her eyes at him. Aomine was still piss at the girl's action of dumping water at him. "Your boyfriend told me to come here, but I haven't seen him yet." He answered and the light blue haired glared at him. "He isn't my boyfriend!" She cried out. "Sure~" Aomine said back, smirking at his friend.
"Aomine-kun!" Momoi growled at the guy. "Fine! Fine!" He said. "You know, I never seen you and Akashi-kun play one another before…" Akari pointed out and Momoi blinked then stared at the guy next to him. "They hardly play with one another…" Momoi said. "I can beat him easily!" Aomine shout out, glaring at the two girls.
"Is that so?" A familiar voice asked and the three of them were all frozen up. Akari slowly looked up at the person's face and it was no one other than Akashi himself. Aomine gulped and he slowly turned his head towards the side and saw Akashi's red and yellow eyes were piercing Aomine's dark blue eyes. No one said anything, making the atmosphere around them tense and awkward. The spiky red head got tired of this awkward space, "Daiki, please don't compete against me." Akashi told him.
Aomine widen his eyes and it darkened with anger. He stood up quickly, clenching his fist, "Why in the hell-… 'Are you disobeying my orders? Do you know who you are talking to?'" Akashi cut him off. Even though their height is different, it seems like Akashi is the one standing tall and the dark blue haired couldn't really do anything. He didn't want to continue to argue with his captain of the Miracles. "Fine… can't believe I got here early because of this. You couldn't just tell me on the phone." Aomine muttered the last sentence before walking away. Momoi stood up, "I'll see you later, Sumi-chan!" The pink haired girl smiled and ran to Aomine to catch up with him.
Akari and Akashi were the one ones left and the awkward air was still around. When she looks at Akashi, she only thinks about what Momoi and Aomine said. "Come with me." He said, extending his hand towards her with a gentle smile that was placed on his face. The girl was a bit hesitated, but the look on his face… I haven't seen that for a long time. Why can't you come back to the real Akashi I used to know? She thought to herself.
He waited patiently for her, "Akari?" He said softly and again. He leaned his face closer to her and at the same time her cheeks were turning red. "What's wrong? You don't look too good. Maybe it's best if you should go back to the hotel and rest. I won't be playing. I'm sorry for bringing you all the way here." He told her in an apologetic tone and expression. Akari wanted to speak, but her voice seems to be mute. No sounds came out of her.
His lips came in contact with her, but she didn't respond back. He pulled away, "Get some rest, Akari." He said once more before walking away, but he glanced at the corner of his eyes to watch her. He was really worried about her so he had no other choice to call one of his friends.
Akari has no idea what has gotten to her. Her train of thoughts was cut off when she heard Midorima's voice. She got startled by his voice. She looked to see the person's face, "Midori-kun… why are you here?" She asked, glancing at a green box he was carrying in his right hand. "What's inside that box?" She asked, hoping it wouldn't be his lucky item. "Nothing at all." He replied and she continued to stare at the box while keeping her mouth shut.
The green haired shook his head, "Anyways, can we leave now? Akashi called me to pick you up." He said. "Akashi did?" The girl was a bit amazed. "Tsk! Idiot." He flicked her forehead, causing her to wince. "Yes, your boyfriend called me." Midorima said with a pinch of annoyance. Akari blushed, "He isn't my boyfriend! And besides… I just don't feel the same way about him." She told the guy, but he only scoffed at her words.
"That's bull shit." He bluntly stated. "Eh?" The girl blinked with utter confusion. The green haired shook his head, "Never mind… you heartless fiend." He muttered the last part to himself. Akari narrowed her eyes at him, wondering what he muttered. However, she didn't bother for a few seconds later and shrug it off. She stood up, putting her small bag over her shoulder, "Can we stay and watch? I'm not sick or anything, I promise." She battered her eyes which she always hates, but does it when she felt like it.
Midorima's brow twitched as he glared at the blue haired girl, "If my team finds out I'm here and not practicing with them, I'm blaming you and you have to buy me something." The guy told the girl who didn't mind at all because she was just smiling after his words. "Let's go~" She sang her words and started walking to the court. Midorima was watching her walk ahead, "She doesn't see it at all? Everyone except her knows how she feels about Akashi. She truly is a heartless fiend." He talked to himself. Akari was shouting at his name and he came back from his train of thoughts then walked towards the girl.
Meanwhile with Rakuzan, the team was preparing themselves. "So~ Sei-chan~ who was that girl I saw? And what surprised me is that… you kissed her on the lips." Mibuchi smirked and his teammates stopped to turn around to the red head captain who wiped his sweat away with his forearm. "She's the girl that I love, but sadly, she doesn't realize she's actually in love with me." Akashi told him and his teammates heard him.
"Unbelievable! Akashi got a girlfriend already?! But it's really sad how she didn't accept your love." Hayama said. "She'll realize it later on." Akashi replied back and glanced up at the seats and he saw Akari with Midorima and they both sat down. "Akari?" He whispered and his eyes wouldn't seem to budge. His teammates followed his gaze and saw the blue haired girl who was looking around the court.
"Th-that's her?! Dude! She's hot…" Hayama dropped his jaws. One of the other member slapped Hayama's head, "Shut up, but how…?" The dark skin tone guy that has a muscular body asked. Akashi sighed, "You guys don't need to worry about that for now." He told his teammates who were curious about this. Akari, when are you going to realize? He looked up at the girl and waited for her to make eye contact with her. Later on, she finally did and their gazes lasted for 30 seconds. Sei-kun…
Hi everybody~ Sorry for not updating last week, I got lazy tbh. Anyways I hope you all enjoyed this chapter^^
Say, I was wondering, if any of you will be interest in reading a new story that I've been working and planning to do, but I don't know right now. Like it will be in the "Misc" section under Misc. Anime/Manga.
If any of you have ever watched/play any of the "Tales of" series games like Tales of Symphonia, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Xillia, and etc. then it's like that.
I promise I'll make the story interesting and the main protagonist will be a girl(obviously since my main characters are always a girl).
But I want to know if you guys would like to read it and I'm in a process of drawing the characters and I'll be putting them in my deviantART account(if my printer still works). Well just tell me if you want to read. And if you do then I can maybe post the summary the next time I'll update this. I'm sorry if you guys find this to be a bit irritated, forgive me..
