A/N: Next Chapter! This is more of a filler... And to mention some important family members of Sakuya... I apologize for dragging the plot like this, but this is my kind of character development...
Hope you'll enjoy this! I made a playlist for all the songs (there are references to the videos...)! Check my profile to get there if you don't get anything ;)
For this chapter: I don't own Takao or any of the songs, but I do own all OCs and the plot

Chapter 6: Good times
Good Time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try,
it's always a good time.
Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then.
Doesn't matter where
It's always a good time there.
On the train to Kyoto
Takao, Sakuya and Akashi were sitting together in one compartment.
'Just how did this happen?', was the thought in the heads of both boys.
Sakuya knew already.
Akashi was living in Teiko' dorms, because his parents live in Kyoto and to get the permission needed for the Training camp, he was now heading home.
Sakuya and Takao had been summoned to visit Sakuya's grand parents, who also lived in Kyoto.
Hence, all took the same train and Sakuya saw Akashi sitting in the compartment and dragged Takao in.
After a few hours on the train Takao started to nod off and sitting beside Sakuya, who was sitting beside thw window didn't help.
Sakuya noticed and offered for him to sleep on her lap, which Takao gladly did and he fell asleep.
Sakuya could only chuckle at her childhood friend and even Akashi smirked at the sight.
"You like him, don't you, Hanasaki-san?"
Sakuya stopped petting Takao's head and looked at Akashi smiling.
"So what if I do?"
"He's dating Shintaro."
"So what? I'm not going to separate them. Staying with him is good enough…"
"So? I see."
"And you, Akashi-san?"
"Me? What should I be?"
"You like that blond haired guy, don't you? Kise was his name, I believe."
"Ryouta? No! I do not like him!"
"So you love him.", Sakuya stated matter-of-factly.
Akashi was blushing very hard now.
"Yes, I like him. But he likes Daiki…", he mumbled. "I have no chance…"
"Aomine-san? He likes Sa-chan. And she likes him. It's obvious."
"As childhood friends, not as lovers."
"They are dating already, you know?"
"Eeh? They? D-Dating?"
"Yes."
Akashi looked very surprised at this fact.
He didn't speak for the next few hours, trying to process what Sakuya had said.
After many hours they had finally reached Kyoto and Sakuya gently shook Takao to wake him.
"Just five minutes, mom!"
"Get up! I'm not your mom! We arrived, Takao-kun!"
"Ohh.", Takao stood up and followed Sakuya and Akashi, who was slightly chuckling, outside.
"I believe, we need to bid goodbye here, Hanasaki-san, Takao-kun."
Akashi bowed a little.
"Goodbye and I hope to see you soon, Akashi-san."
Sakuya bowed, too and a startled Takao did the same, earning a chuckle from Sakuya and a smirk from Akashi.
Hanasaki Estate in Kyoto (Upper floor)
"It's nice to see you again, grandmother, Is grandfather well these days?", Sakuya asked, while bowing.
"Nice to see ya, baa-chan!"
Sakuya's grandmother smiled.
"Good to see you so happy, Kazunari-kun. Come on, sit down. Let me gat a good look at my two favourite youngsters."
Sakuya's grandmother looked a them rather intensely and them smiled again.
"You two seem very well. Sakuya, you decided to return, even though that stubborn son of mine is still in the states?"
"Yes, grandmother."
"I see. Are you two hungry? I prepared Kimchi and Curry."
"Yes. I would like some, please."
"Me too!"
"Okay, Tanaka will bring it to your grandfather's shortly. He wants to see you. But first unpack. Is staying in the same room good for you two?"
Grandmother winked at her butler and told him what to do.
Meanwhile Sakuya and Takao looked at one another and nodded.
"It's fine, baa-chan!"
"You know the room, now go!"
"Hai!", both teens said and went downstairs to unpack their stuff.
Takao and Sakuya always occupied the same room when coming to visit Sakuya's grandparents and always stayed about 1-2 days.
This time they would go back tomorrow since Sakuya had a concert in Kyoto and they arrived late due to train delays.
"You sure eat little, Sakuya. Look at Kazunari, eating like a fine young man."
Sakuya's grandfather laughed.
Takao just grinned at Sakuya, who just shot him an annoyed stare.
"I eat enough, grandfather. If I eat that much, I wouldn't be able to move, I think."
Her grandfather now started to laugh even harder.
"Sakuya, I wouldn't have thought you'd be able to answer like that."
"America.", was Sakuya's only explanation.
After eating Sakuya and her grandmother played Go, while Takao tried to beat the grandfather in Shogi.
Sakuya won and Takao lost pretty badly.
Sakuya's grandfather used to be professional Shogi player, but retired after his legs began to get bad.
Currently moving to long caused a lot of pain, so he stayed in his room and sometimes walked around the house with the help of Tanaka.
It was late, so Sakuya and Takao excused themselves and prepared for bed.
After changing in comfortable pyjamas and brushing her teeth, Sakuya slipped in her futon.
Takao finished later and did the same, but he felt cold. He always had been sensitive to cold and it being –15 degrees celsius outside didn't do him that good.
"Sakuya? You awake?"
"Yes?"
"Can we sleep in one futon? It's freezing…"
"Sure. Hop in."
Sakuya moved a bit aside and let Takao in.
Takao slipped in and immediately hugged Sakuya, using her as teddy bear and fell asleep.
Sakuya didn't mind. She even liked it. She and Takao had always been like that.
One hugging the other, sleeping in the same bed or futon.
It felt very nostalgic and Sakuya fell asleep, snuggling close to her childhood friend.
Next morning, Tanaka found them in this particularly position and grinned.
"Young Miss, Mr. Takao, it's time to wake up."
Tanaka gently shook them and Sakuya woke up.
She tried to free herself, but no avail. Takao continued to sleep and Sakuya was his body pillow.
"Wake up, Takao-kun!"
Sakuya punched him in his gut. Takao's eyes snapped open.
"Awwwhie! That hurt, Sakuya!"
"Then wake up!"
"Hai, hai, Milady."
Takao stood up and Tanaka left the room.
After changing, brushing teeth and going to the toilet, they ate breakfast and bid Sakuya's grandparents goodbye.
Concert hall (Changing room)
"Do you really wanna stay? You could go home first.", Sakuya asked
"It's fine.", Takao reassured her. "I wanna see, Idol Hanasaki Sakuya-chan!"
"Idiot. Do what you want."
After rehearsal, changing and make-up, the audience started to come in and Sakuya prepared to sing her first song "Balalaika", which was a song from an anime, in which she played the main character.
Yurari yurari yurete iru otome kokoro pi~nchi!
Kanari kanari yabai no yo
Tasukete daarin! kura kurarinNani mo ka mo ga atarashii sekai ni kichatta wa
Takusan no doki doki nori koe! fumi koe! iku zo!Bararaika barararaika bara raira kai kai!
Kono omoi wa tomerarenai
Motto otome chikku pawaa kirarin rin
Chotto kiken na ka n jiBararaika barararaika bara raira kai kai!
Mou doki doki tomerarenai
Motto doramachikku koi hareruya
Futari dake no bararaika!
Sakuya danced to the song and sang in a cheery, childish voice, which was ver different from her usual calm and mature one.
After "Balalaika", she sang another song from that anime, which Takao now knew as 'Kirarin Revolution'. It's called "Happy".
Dakara! Happy!
Yama no chocho
Lyowote ga sora ni
Todoki sou da yo! Sokai! Happy!
Kurushiku tatte
Gambatta kara
Tadori tsuita yo!
Hito to chigau koto
Suru no wa
Doki Doki!
Yuuki wo dasana kyo!Kirari hikaru jibuun ni natte
Yarinuke ba kibuu ii arigatou' tte
Iwareru to ne
Mune no oku ga
Kira Kira suru yo! Dareka no tame
Chiisa na koto demo
Sakuya did a lot of weird movements at first, but slowly they became more normal and Takao had admit that this song was really 'happy'. Sakuya used that childish, happy voice again and the audience just seemed to go crazy over her.
After this song Sakuya came back since some comedians would perform now and Takao saw that Sakuya was sweating a lot, even more than after the Japan vs. Korea game.
"Where is that idiot!? I told him to come by now at latest!?"
Sakuya's manager was literally burning up. Takao was curious, so he went over to Sakuya and the manager.
"Sakuya? What happened?", he asked.
"Well, there was supposed to be a surprise duet… But my duet partner hasn't arrived yet…"
"Which song is it?"
"A new one. Good time."
"Can I have the notes and lyrics, please?", Takao asked the manager.
"You. Are. Not. Serious…"
"Yes, I am. Song lyrics are the only text-like stuff I can memorize easily. If that guy doesn't arrive, I'll sub. Is that fine? Better than nothing."
Sakuya just sighed. Her manager was shocked.
"Sakuya, can he sing decently?"
"Yes, he can. At least, he could four years ago…"
"Why don't you come with me to a room and I sing, while Sakuya performs 'Chance!'?", Takao said to the manager.
"Fine. Sakuya, don't mess up."
"I won't."
Sakuya stood up and went on stage again; Takao and her manager go to the rehearsal room.
Che che chance! muteki no ikioi de
Che che chance! tsuyoki no sono iki de
Kyou made no ah mainichi ni sayonara wo tsugeru wa
Che che chance! dore dake kawatte mo
Che che chance! kawarazu miteite ne
Kira kira no kono saki no michi wo aruku wa anata to ne
Yohou hazurete taiyou sansan!?
Kaikei goukei nana nana nana en!?
Kore ga imamo moodo na no
Tsuki ga futatsu yo tsuki makuri yo nan demo kanau wa
After finishing the song and thanking the audience, Sakuya returned to the backstage, only to see a grinning Takao and a smiling manager.
"I believe, he passed the test?"
"Yes. Now change, while I announce and be quick, Sakuya."
Takao had changed already, luckily it fit him, and Sakuya changed quickly.
"Now, we have prepared a surprise for you guys! Sakuya-chan and an old friend of hers are going to perform her new song! 'Good Time'!"

The audience was cheering. Takao and Sakuya thanked them and went back to change.
Sakuya's manager asked Takao to record the song for Sakuya as the first performance was sung with him rather than with the original singer.
Takao agreed and both teens went to the train station to get home.
