Hiiiiiii Guuuuys..!
I'm back with a new chapter :3
Again, I wanna say thank you for your reviews, favorites and alerts!
Thank's for the advice, and It's ok! I do think I need a beta cause a lot of errors that I made, and...
Ta~daa! I got a Beta! #grinning like an Idiot#
Thank's a lot for Jessiejj for re-read and Beta'd this chapter ;)
Oh, and this chapter was a bit different with the other chapters cause I split this case into two parts/chapters.
N.B : I realized something... The OC has the same name as the three point shooter from Touo, one of Aomine's teammates! Sorry.. but they're a different person (-_-')
Disclaimer: That isn't me. That's Tadatoshi Fujimaki (TxT)
Though
"Talking"
flashback
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-
Kagami POV
"Sorry, but he's taken."
Me and Sakurai stared at Aomine who suddenly appeared behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Wha-"
Aomine buried his head in my neck and put his lips to my ear.
"If you don't want your precious ass in danger, you must play along with me."
What did he mean by 'my precious ass'?!
Aomine bas-
And then the realization came to me. My face flushed and my ears turned red.
Sakurai narrowed his eyes but then he smiled at us.
"... Really? So what are lovers doing in a place like this?"
He's didn't believe us! Of course he was suspicious! Why do lovers go to a host club?!
Aomine just shrugged.
"We just felt bored and wanted to have a little fun. Is there a problem with that?"
"Nope. So, can I borrow your partner for a while? I'll be happy to accompany him. You can have fun with my friends. We have lots of pretty boys at our place."
Aomine let go of his hands around my waist
"Sure. Here he is."
Jerk! A moment ago he was acting like a possesive boyfriend and now he lets 'his lover' go to a host?! He really piss me off.
Once we get into the club, my eyes look around. Wow! The room inside really looks like one of those Host clubs that are usually portrayed in Shoujo comics. How do I know Shoujo comics? Don't you dare ask me!
Some 'beautiful' boy threw himself to Aomine. I just rolled my eyes and followed Sakurai who pulled me across the room and sat in front of a small table.
"Wanna drink?"
"Umm .. No."
Sometimes, I can't handle alcohol and my drunk state. The last time I was drunk, I ended up embarrassing myself by dancing in front of all my friends with a bare chest and ... ummm ... tiger ears on my head.
Just forget it. A bad memory.
Sakurai introduced himself to me and asked me a few casual questions. At first, I really didn't feel comfortable being there. How could I not? I saw some couples around me who didn't hesitate showing their closeness. There was a salary man with a pretty boy clinging on his arm, and a cute boy and a man with a handsome face complimented each other. This is really like a host club like in the movies. But the difference is ... almost all people in this club are men and there were a few fangirls(?) who were looking around with a nose bleed and a dreamy face.
Seeing my body tense up, Sakurai laughed.
"Relax, if you're tense like that, you will make peoples think you're not gay or you're a virgin who came to a place like this for the first time."
Unfortunately. Both of those statements are true.
"Look, even your partner looks like he's really enjoying it."
Sakurai pointed to Aomine who was surrounded by a few boys, one of them even put his arms around his neck and sat on his lap.
I don't know why, but I'm really annoyed right now. Aren't we supposed to be here to get information? Why was he having fun with a bunch of boys with a girly face?!
Wait, I sound like a jealous boyfriend here.
No! You didn't hear anything and I didn't say anything about being jealous. You heard wrong, ok?
"You really like him, right?"
"Huh?"
Sakurai smiled gently at me. I looked at him with a puzzled look. He sighed and looked at me while propping his chin up with his hand.
"I don't know why he left his adorable boyfriend here with someone else. If I were him, I'm would lock you up and not allow others to see you."
Is he just teasing me? Because whatever he did he managed to make me blush like a high school girl. To distract myself, I take a sip of the orange juice in my hand.
"Do you want to take a little revenge?"
"Huh?"
Sakurai leaned closer to me and gave me a light kiss on my cheek.
I was shock and before I realized it, Aomine appeared and pulled me into his body. He put his arm around my shoulder.
"We're going home."
Without hearing my answer, Aomine dragged me out. I looked behind my back and saw a smiling Sakurai waving at me.
"See you again ... Taiga~"
Aomine gripped my wrist tightly.
When we got out, he turned to me.
"What the hell were you doing with him, Taiga?!"
"Wha-I was just talking!"
"Talking? All I saw was that he kissed your cheek and you blushing like a girl!"
"Hey! What do you mean by that?! Me and him just-"
"Listen Taiga. Don't ever try to seek information from Sakurai without me by your side! Do you understand?"
"But-"
"Understand?"
I was silent. No, the person standing in front of me isn't the usual Aomine. His eyes were dark blue, and I could clearly see the anger in it. I don't know what made him angry, but my instincts were telling me I should shut my mouth and stop this argument.
"Uugh, whatever."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-
What does he mean?! How dare he order me around like that! Who the hell does he think he is?!
It's been two days since the 'host club' incident and since then, Aomine never let me wander off alone. He always comes up and never lets me speak directly to Sakurai. If this continues, how am I supposed to get information about him?!
Fortunately, today Aomine didn't show up to 'guard me' because he had business to do. But before that, he gave me the advice 'Don't forget what I told you! Don't try to approach Sakurai without me, you got it?!'
That Arrogant bastard!
But I don't know what's wrong with my brain, I follow Aomine 'advice' and I don't go to Sakurai, instead, I roam the city aimlessly.
"Kagami?"
On reflex, I turned around.
Shit.
"Umm, hello?"
"What are you doing here alone? You are not with your boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend?"
"Aomine, right?"
Uuugh, right. I just remembered.
"Ah, yeah ... he was busy today."
"I see ..."
We were both were silent for a few moments.
"Are you busy?"
Yes. "No.."
"Would you like to join me? There's something I want to buy."
No! "Eeer .. fine?"
Sakurai smiled and pulled my hand.
"Ok. Come on."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-
"Basketball shoes? Do you play basketball?"
I was looking at the basketball shoes in Sakurai's hand.
"No, but my brother does. Yesterday, his team made it into the semi-finals and I want to give him these as a gift."
He rubbed the back of his neck.
"That one is good, light and comfortable to wear."
Without realizing it, I was pointing to a pair of shoes in the corner. Sakura blinked.
"Do you play basketball, Kagami?"
"... Yeah."
"Aomine too?"
"... Yes."
He nodded his head.
"So, it's basketball that brings you together. If I also play basketball, maybe I could see you sooner."
I immediately changed the subject.
"So, do you agree with my choice?"
"Yup, let's go pay for it."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-
After shopping for shoes for his brother, we stopped at Maji resto. Sakurai looked at me with a look of disbelief and then burst out laughing while staring at the burgers on my plate that formed a pyramid.
We were talking casually. And what surprised me, is that Sakurai is very different from my impression from the last time I met him. At first, I thought he was an annoying guy who likes to tease people around him. But it turns out that he's a delightful and gentle person. He talked about a lot of things, college, his job and his family.
His face will change and there will be a warm smile on his lips as he talked about his siblings.
At times like this I would also like to have a sibling, too bad I was an only child.
Wait.
Only child? How could I know I was an only child? Didn't I not remember anything about myself?
"Taiga?"
"Ah... sorry."
"It's okay. Is there something bothering you?"
Sakurai looks worried.
"No no, I just ... remembered something."
I trailed off at that last part and stared blankly ahead.
Seeing how I was doing, Sakurai advised me to go home. He also thanked me before saying goodbye. I couldn't concentrate at all so I did not realize when Aomine landed in front of me.
"Where have you been Bakagami?! I've been looking for you everywhere and-Taiga?"
I lifted my head.
"Are you ok?"
Aomine placed his hands on my shoulders and looked straight into my eyes. Somehow I felt uncomfortable with his gaze and keep my eyes in all directions except him.
"I'm ... Okay." I think.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah ... I ... just want to go home and rest."
Aomine looks doubtful but he nodded his head. Without waiting for another comment from him I took out my wings and flew off. I can feel that Aomine followed me and is staring at me from behind, but I don't care. I feel really confused now.
Is my memory starting to come back?
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-
We followed Sakurai again today. Aomine didn't ask anything about yesterday and I'm very grateful for that. Sakurai did the same activities as our last investigation. And at night Sakurai has a date with one of his clients. They are holding hands casually without care weird stares of the peoples around them. They intended to go into a bar, but a loud gasp stopped them.
"Oh my ..."
I wasn't able to cover my shock even Aomine was frowning.
"Jun Nii-chan?"
Sakurai, whose usually calm, looks extremely shocked and horrified after seeing black-haired boy in front of him that had the same expression on his face.
"Ma-mamoru ..."
Mamoru? That's the name of Sakurai's brother! Oh god, don't tell me...
The boy was silent for a moment, but his shocked face was quickly replaced by a disappointed and hurt face. He ran and ignored Sakurai who called after him.
Sakurai chased his brother and we trail after him from behind. Sakurai managed to catch his hand and stopped him.
"Mamoru listen, I can explain this."
"Don't touch me!"
Mamoru batted Sakurai's hand away.
"Ma-"
"Disgusting! You are so disgusting! I hate you!"
Mamoru ran leaving his brother who froze in place.
"..."
"So that's why you befriended with me? Disgusting! Do you think I'm attracted to a man? You must be kidding me."
" It's really disgusting, you realize that? Get out of here before I run out of patience! And don't you ever dare to show your face before me again!"
What the ...?
Where did that voice come from?
Why did it sound so familiar?
Is it also one of my memories?
"Taiga?"
I was looking at Aomine with a bewildered face. Aomine looks worried and ... sad? I don't know, but his face looks ... weird.
I shook my head.
"Ne-nevermind. I'm ok ..."
Our attention was again drawn to Sakurai who still didn't budge from his place.
"We need to talk to him ... right now."
Aomine agreed and we quickly approached our target who was still in shock.
"... Sakurai."
"Ka-Kagami ... Aomine ...? What are you doing here ...? "
Aomine and I looked at each other and nodded our heads.
"We need to talk."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-
Oh my... I'm really sleepy now...
I just wanna sleep...
