Recap:
The three; Akashi, Haruko and Shigure sweat dropped before Shigure remembered and ask Haruko something. "Ah Haruko-san seems you don't have any date at the upcoming festival, would you go on a date with me?" Shigure looked smug when looked at Akashi, who looked furious for a moment, but then it melted into a smirk. "A-ah are you—" Haruko was interrupted by Akashi who said "She can't come with you." "And why not?" Shigure said still looking smug,
Chapter 10
"Because I'm her date." Haruko looked surprised, well more like she was completely dumbfounded and was so red like a tomato. The others having heard it stopped what they were doing and looked at Akashi also dumbfounded . "W-wh-what d-do y-you m-mean A-akashi-kun?" Haruko stuttered looking as though she was about to faint. "I meant what I said" Akashi said looking intensely at her, and with Akashi looking so intensely at her like that how can she possibly say no? So she just dumbly nodded.
Shigure's expression was priceless that Akashi had to chuckle, he even put an arm around her to prove his point. While said girl has already fainted from blushing so much, thankfully Akashi was able to catch her before she hit the ground. After that Shigure just stayed quiet and was glaring at Akashi in every chance he gets.
Later that day, after Haruko has woken up she was bombarded with evil glares from different women, all jealous that she was Akashi's date; and by the end of the day only one particular glare coming from Miyuki had her squirming from discomfort. "What's wrong with you? Why are you glaring at me like that?" Haruko finally ask "What do you mean 'What's wrong with you?' you're dating Akashi-san and you didn't even tell me, is that why you were so angry at me when I called him by his first name? You slut you just want him all for yourself!" Miyuki was yelling and have stood up by the end of her sentence, Haruko was shocked at Miyuki's statement but her features turned expressionless and cold, and she replied to Miyuki in a calm and cold tone that chilled them to the bone "I am not a slut, in all sense you should be the one called like that, he told me I was his date and who am I to deny him? Just because you're jealous doesn't mean you can take it out on people you're jealous of. You're ugly personality should change, because someday it might be you're downfall. Now if you'll excuse me Kuroko and I will be leaving, I've lost interest in you." Haruko beckoned Kuroko to come, and they both exited through the door.
Silence.
It was deadly silent and the only thing you can hear was Miyuki's heavy pants from yelling, all of them were stunned to see their usually cheerful and composed president radiate the face of expressionlessness and coldness. As it was their first time seeing it and it frightened them, a solid five minutes later they all moved around to go home, nobody dared to approach or speak to Miyuki until they all left, the only person there besides Miyuki is Shigure, who was looking at her coldly before speaking "From now on don't come near her or pretend to be her friend or next time you'll be in much more trouble." He said it so coldly that she fell back on her chair, and he left her there and went to catch up with the two.
The three of them; after Shigure caught up, walk silently until they reach the gym where they already see everyone practicing. "Why are you late?" Akashi questions looking at the three of you, Haruko who was back to her normal self was looking into space with a thoughtful look, while Kuroko just shook his head signalling that he'll tell everyone later. Akashi inclined his head towards Haruko who started walking towards where Hanako sat and when she reached there they started talking seriously, so he moved towards them; the two seemingly not noticing him continued their heavy discussion. When he reached there he moved to a spot where he can hear them but won't be accused of eavesdropping. "I don't think we should continue to hang out with her, I mean I just always see her flirting with someone and I don't want anyone to think that you're just using her to be popular or something. I-I didn't mean to offend—" Haruko cut off with an understanding look on her face. "It's okay, I know you're right its just she changed to a different person entirely, I just hope the change she made wouldn't backfire on her someday." After Haruko there was silence, neither knowing what to do but will just go on with the flow until the right time comes and change who they are now.
*NEXT DAY*
The classroom was full of noise, each person gossiping after what happened yesterday, the two sits are still empty and it was worrying Shigure for it was only 5 minutes before class starts. Suddenly the whole room turned deadly quiet for the person they're gossiping just walked in with Kuroko; though no one noticed. Haruko walked towards the front and said "I'm sorry for my behaviour yesterday, I ask for your forgiveness." Then bowed before their classmates all rushed saying things like: "We forgive you." "We thought you wouldn't attend today after what happened." "Forget about it, we already forgave you." And so on, after that she stood straight again and smiled, thanking them before walking to her seat; where Miyuki already at her side, sitting down without sparing her a glance. The bell rang as soon as she sat down and the class begins.
After class Shigure, Haruko and Kuroko walked towards the roof, all morning the three of them acted as if Miyuki was invisible. At the roof they all chatted animatedly; well the girls did, anyway, they told Satsuki what happened yesterday and soon the three of them became absorbed about what color suited best for them. After that they agreed to buy a kimono* tomorrow, long story short, Haruko got an orange kimono with floral designs. Hanako got a green kimono with dragon designs and Satsuki with a pink kimono of autumn leaves as a design.
Pretty soon it was already Saturday and everyone is already so excited, the boys picking up their date; the GoM, Kuroko, Shigure, Hanako, Satsuki and Haruko are already in the festival and everyone wanted to go somewhere or another so they agreed to meet at the top of the hill in three hours, so Kise, Shigure and Midorima wandering off to who-knows-where; probably hiding from Kise's fan girls, Hanako, Kuroko and Murasakibara went to the fishing stalls, Satsuki dragging Aomine with her to the photo booth, and finally Haruko and Akashi, who were just watching the stalls and sometimes playing. "A-akashi-kun w-would you like to take a p-p-picture?" God she was so nervous her whole face was bright red, Akashi chuckled at her and Haruko's face turned a brighter red. "Sure." Akashi agreed, and then the two of them are inside the photo booth where Satsuki dragged Aomine earlier. After they took their photo, with each one of them and the two of them together, Akashi looked at his watch noticing the fireworks are about to begin he led them to the hill where everyone was already there, they took their seats and waited, "Akashi-kun." Haruko whispered "Hmm?" "Nothing, forget about it" before he can ask; the fireworks began and everyone was enchanted by the different patterns and colors of the fireworks. After the fireworks died out everyone was slowly leaving one by one, Akashi offered to take Haruko home, Murasakibara and Kuroko to Hanako as well.
As they were walking there was a comfortable silence that enveloped the two of them, soon they were in front of Haruko's door. The two of them stood there of a moment "Thank you Akashi-kun, I had fun today, did you?" Akashi smiled that had Haruko's heart racing "Yes, I did" pause "and you can call me by my name." Haruko walked up a courage to kiss Akashi on the cheek and said "A-alright, thank you again and good night Sei-chan" before rushing to the door and slamming it behind her while leaving a dumbfounded and mouth open in surprise Akashi standing there holding his cheek, before composing himself and walk away with a smile on his lips. After taking a bath and changing into her night clothes Haruko finally allowed herself to sleep with a smile and a soft blush on her cheeks; remembering the kiss until it reached her dreams.
