So yes, for this chapter it's Momoi's turn! :D Let's take a break from Harumi's life and look into her sister's. Well obviously I'm an AoMomo fan, that's why this chapter is for them. I just ship them so hard! I'm really annoyed if she's fangirling over Tetsuya, they just don't match up well together! No offense for KuroMomo fans! Why can't she just see that Daiki is the one for her? - 3 - " Well anyway, here's chapter 13! Hope you like it! :D

PS: KNB is not mine! Only Harumi! :D

C13: Momoi's Dillemma

Weekend hit and Harumi is all alone in their humble home. Well she's not really complaining, she really needed some alone time especially with what happened last week. Yep, it's already weekend and she still hasn't made up with Akashi. She has been trying her best to avoid him for a while, it's not that she's afraid of him or anything. She's still in the state of shock that she can't face him yet. The way his eyes looked down at her that day hasn't been erased from her mind. Just thinking about it still send shivers down her spine. She shook her head trying to clear her thoughts and decided to play the piano and play some songs. As she started touching the keys she felt overwhelmed, she feel like she's on cloud nine.

Hitori ni wa nareteita no ni

Hajimari ga areba owari ga kurutte

Wakatteita no ni koboreta ochiba no ue

Anata no ai ga

Music filled the house as she let loose of all the stress she's feeling. This month only brought stress to her life, and it's all thanks to this 'arrange marraige'. Until now she despised the idea, 'How can my parents just let me live with a demon?!'

Nagarete hanarete saki chitta to shitemo

Subete no mono ni wa minna imi ga aru kara

Anata wo aiseta koto ga

Watashi no tsubasa ni natteiku negai e

GO YOUR OWN WAY

As the piano keys filed my ears, she didn't notice someone walked inside her room.

"Stress relieving again Mi-chan?"

The moment she heard a voice, her fingers automatically stopped playing and turned to the intruder. Her mouth hang open and rush to the person in her bed, "Oh my god Sa-chan! I missed you so much!"

Satsuki laughed at her sister's childish antics and ruffled her hair, "I thought I was the childish one."

Harumi sat down beside her and punched her arm playfully, "oh shut up! So how's it going? I haven't talk to you in ages!"

Both of sisters talked about their lives, school, their parents, and Akashi. Harumi sighed and bit her lip, she doesn't even want to think about Akashi yet let alone talk about him. Satsuki noticed her sister's mannerism and got worried. The moment she would bite her lip and started looking around her, it means something happened to her. She put her hand on top of hers and smiled, "Is something wrong?"

Harumi sighed and closed her eyes to think, 'If I tell her she might tell mom and dad, which I clearly don't want to happen'.

"Mi-chan?" Satsuki's soft tone brought her back, she opened her eyes and tried her best to smile. "Uhmm. It's fine, we don''t really get to see each other."

Satsuki seemed hesitant at first, but let it go. Harumi smiled at her reassuringly, "Enough about me! How about you? How are you and Daiki doing?"

Satsuki instantly felt her face heat up, and looked at her shock. She really hasn't even talked to her childhood friend ever since Harumi moved in with Akashi. She smiled sadly, "I... I haven't been also communicating with him, I barely see him. Despite that, I tried my best to approach him whenever I have free time in school. During lunch, I'd always visit him in his room then after class, I'd see him on the gym for practice. Sometimes, we would exchange words but it was just about pointers for basketball. It would then immediately be followed by 'Thanks' or a nod."

She felt tears well up in her eyes, she doesn'really know anymore what happened to them. They used to be so close, but now she felt like they were strangers to each other. 'I guess he's upset about Harumi being taken already'. She felt an arm wound around her, she felt guilty and ashamed of herself. Here she was crying her eyes out and felt envy of her sister, but her sister was also the one comforting her now. She had always been nice to her, she can never bear herself to hate her.

After she had calmed down, they decided to have cup of tea together. Silence filled the room, Satsuki eyed her yellow drink reminding her of someone, she took a deep breath and look up to her sister. "Ki-chan... He.. He asked me out.."

Harumi didn't know what to say, she just stare at the girl infront of her. She sometimes maybe she thinks that they look cute but she completely thought that Satsuki and Daiki would end up together. She blinked at her and tried to find the right words to say, 'You've got to say something Harumi!'

"Oh. Really?" She mentally face palmed herself as she can't think of other thing to say. Satsuki silently nodded, she still wasn't meeting her eyes and is conpletely focused on her drink, "He asked.. He asked me out when you moved in with Akashi-kun."

"Well you two look good together." Her head shot up to her sister who is smiling softly at her, she found it rather odd that she agreed easily. Usually, she would burst out and start interrogating her, but here her sister sat all calm and smiling at her.

"You-you think so?"

"Well... Yeah."

Somehow the atmosphere felt awkward and strangled both of them. They didn't know what to say to each other. When they thought they were going to be choked out by the uncomfortable silence, the phone rang. Both girls jumped in surprise, they quickly checked their phones to see who got the call.

"It's mine, I'll be right back." Harumi excused herself from the table and went into their kitchen, she leaned against the counter and answered her phone.

"Hello"

"Harumi." Her eyes widen in shock by the masculine voice on the other line.

"Da-Dad.."

Momoi walked along the streets alone to wherever her feet would take her. It has been an hour since she left her sister's house, she was needed by dad or something. Probably about the whole marraige thing, she does pity her sister to be always the one following orders around. 'But it seems that she's enjoying it.'

She walked aimlessly around until she bumped into someone, she landed on her butt with an "ooff" and she seemed to have sprained her ankle, 'Oh why? Why did I just have to wear heels today?'

"Satsuki.." Her eyes widen in shock as she realized who she bumped into, that raspy voice she kne very well. She looked up to meet navy blue eyes, her heart started to beat faster and gulped. Aomine reached his hand out to her and helped her get up, he noticed that her movements were sluggish and arched an eye brow at her, "I never knew you wore these kind of things."

Momoi blushed and looked away from him, "How would you know?! You're not even there to know!" She snapped at him, and felt like crying again. She can't take it anymore, and ran away from the crowd ignoring the throb in her ankle.

Aomine remained still on his spot, he was shocked by the sudden outburst of his childhood friend.

"How would you know?! You're not even there to know!"

Her words were echoing inside his head, he cursed under his breath and followed the pinkette. It wasn't really that hard for him to find her with his height he could clearly see each head of each person walking and with his long legs it only took a minute to grab her from the huge crowd.

He managed to pull her on a narrow alley and pin her by the wall. He had both of his arms on the side of her head and held her wrists completely trapping her him. He stared at her shocked and tear stained face, he cursed yet again and took a deep breath. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Her whisper echoed between them. They stared at each other not speaking a word, she felt his grasp loosen on her. And at last she was free, she continued to examine him with her eyes.

He did not meet her gaze and just looked at the street as if it was more interesting. She didn't want this. She never wanted it to be like this. Then why was it happening now?

"Let me take you home, you can't walk in that condition."

She silently nodded and averted her gaze from him. The walk to her home was short and quiet. None of them spoke a word. Each felt like they would just regret if they utter a word. The moment they reached her house, he brought her in and left as soon as she got her ankle treated.

Momoi looked at his figure fade away from her sight. She felt her heart break into pieces and just let the tears fall. She wiped her tears rather harshly, her nails piercing at her cheek.

'Arghh. I only made the gap wider…'

To clear things up, Momoi's in love with Daiki! HAHAHAHAHAHA. Anyway reviews please! :(
