At Yamamoto's house, Yamamoto introduced Akari to his father, Tsuyoshi. Tsuyoshi thought, "What...? Is that h-his girlfriend?" At that moment, it seemed like Akari knew what he was thinking and told him she wouldn't do anything weird to Yamamoto, "He's such a nice person."

"Oh, haha, did you think he thought we were dating?" asked Yamamoto.

"I didn't think, I knew. All dads are like that, even if their personalities are different. Oh yeah, here's a present." she said, and got a medium sized fish from her bag and handed it to Yamamoto. "I heard you two cook pretty good sushi so I asked someone if they could get it for me. I hear only the best chefs could cook this."

"I hear only the best fishermen could catch it too." said Tsuyoshi, "You'd have to go to the roughest part of the ocean and dive into the water because it lives so deep."

"Yep."

"And you would need many weapons to fight off the sharks in the area."

"Yep."

"And there are more sharks than that fish in the area."

"Mhmm."

"And you would have to be strong and fast."

"Si."

"And brave."

"You got that right."

"... How do you know someone who can possibly catch this fish?"

"I know many people who have weird professions. One just happens to know how to do stuff like that."

"And you're giving it to us?"

"Yes sir!"

"Thank you very much!"

"You're very welcome."

"Ah! Then we'll have this for dinner as a special thank you. Would you mind helping me cook this Takeshi?"

"No problem dad." says Yamamoto, "but first I have to show Akari to my room so she can put her stuff down."
She looks down at his walking feet as they go to his room. She almost ran into his back when they reached their destination.
He let her rest in the room as he went back to the kitchen to help with the dish. She got the futon ready and sat there as she waited.

Minutes later, she was called to the table and had one of the best dinners of her life. She had delicious Japanese food (she's mostly been eating Italian delicacies) and listened to Yamamoto and his father talk about Yamamoto's little league baseball games. After the meal, she thanked them for the wondrous time she had and hoped to re-live it again.

She walked back to Yamamoto's room to change and thought to herself, "Should I report right now? ... I might get in trouble for not being at Tsuna's house though. Well, I guess I'll turn it off so it doesn't wake up Yamamoto." As she was taking her shirt off, Yamamoto walks in asking, "Would you-?" but stops there and closes the door shut when he sees her shirtless. "I'm sorry Gokudera-kun! I really am!" he screams outside of his door.

Yamamoto is in the fetal position and when Akari re-opens the door he apologizes, saying, "I'm sorry Akari! I thought you were done changing!" She bends down to ruffle his hair and tells him it was perfectly fine. He looks up at her with a puzzled expression and asks, "Are you sure?" so she smiles and nods. After helping him up, she asks, "Why were you saying sorry to Gokudera-kun? He's not even here.. Unless he's spying on us! ...And you knew?! Why would you do that to me?!"

"Hahaha. Calm down, Akari-chan, you're over thinking this! He told me not to do anything, like kissing, peeking, or anything perverted to or at you!" he says as he tries to back her off of him.

"...Is that all? And here I thought you guys didn't trust me. I should calm down and go to bed before I think anything else."

When she turned around to walk into his room, he grabbed her arm and quickly exclaimed, "Wait!" She positioned herself to face him properly and waited for him to continue. "I hate to postpone your rest," he said, "but could you help me with something first?"

They put on sweaters and headed outside with a baseball. "This was what I was going to ask you before the incident earlier," he told her as they walked, "Heh, sorry about that.. And I'm sorry that I asked you to help me practice for an upcoming game." She slowly waved her hand as if to shoo some birds away to silently tell him it was fine. She was too cold, even with a sweater, to speak.

Yamamoto told her to stand in front of the wall so, if ever the case, the ball wont get lost. He gets into position and throws one of his fast balls. As it comes flying towards her she thinks. "Fast.." and lifts up her hand to catch it. A light brush of air hits her face as it lands in her hand. Shocked, but happy, Yamamoto ran up to her and said, "Sugoi na! No one's ever been able to catch my fast balls so easily! You should join the Baseball team!"
Handing the ball over to him, Akari thought for a moment and finally answered, "I wouldn't know what position to play though."

"Are you good at batting and running?" he asked.

"I'm pretty sure I am. I would practice sword fighting by slicing apples that were thrown at me. I made sure my sword and the floor was clean so we could eat them right after. Also, I've practically been running my whole life so asking me that would be like asking you if you liked baseball." was her response.

"Wow! Can you pitch?" he also asked.

"I would always play a not-so-friendly game of dodge-ball and always hit my opponents hard whenever I got a ball, so yes, I can pitch." she answered.

"Can you act fast?" was his final question.

"Yes." she simply answered.

"Then you're basically fit for all positions! Why not try out? I'm sure you'll make the team!" he proclaimed. She thought for a moment again and sighed before telling him her answer, "I don't know, I'm kind of busy at the most random times so I don't know if i'll be able to commit to it. Gomennasai."

Just then, Tsuyoshi called them in for bed.
