A/N: I'm truly sorry for the delay, again. But I have made sure that you guys are not going to wait until two months. Lol. The thing is, I'm also an active member in a Deviantart group "Canvas-Ranger," and that group is currently having a tournament which last uptil… three months, I guess. So, I'm kinda busy with my college essays, this fic, and drawing for that group. These three are my priorities right now. And also, my minister of IT is a jerk in a major proportion, he makes it so hard for some i-net connection to access this site. Duh.

And it's worth it since my Original Character passed into the next phase of the tournament and that this fic still attracts many readers! Yippie! *shares happiness*

Thank you kindly for FUWACCHI who helped me correcting this fic and made it so much better and readable. Also, of course, thank you for keep reading and waiting, my faithful readers, you are the ones who motivated me to keep writing… And Akashi and Momoi of course, lol. Also welcome to the series for MRocks and . I hope you guys enjoy this Red Mix Pink as much as we all do :)

Part 3

Little had Akashi Seijurou known about how Momoi Satsuki felt being with him at that moment. But he, obviously, felt very uncomfortable and annoyed. They shared the same unsorted problems, they didn't like each other at that moment - and yet they had to babysit together, her idea.

He had agreed though, because he was responsible, and it didn't feel right for him to leave the child in the office, especially when she cried every time one of them were away from her. He had no idea how in the world the child could consider both he and his manager as her parents.

"What do we do now?" He glanced to the pinknette besides him, hardly hiding the growl in his voice.

"Why do you ask me?" Momoi looked up at him and shot back.

"This is your idea," he stated straightly and clearly.

"You volunteered!" she protested.

See? They just left the office five minutes ago, stood near the elevator after that, and now they were arguing, again.

The child in Momoi's arms looked at them one by one confusedly. "Fight..? Noo.." she mumbled sadly.

Akashi noticed her reaction first. "It's okay, we aren't fighting," so he patted her head and forced a smile. "Lower your voice," he whispered to Momoi with a calmer tone.

Momoi, who felt guilty for snapping, had no choice but to nod and agree with him.

Grucuukkk~

Suddenly, they heard a weird, grumbling sound from the child. In a second, their attention had returned to the kid, observing her carefully.

Akashi clearly had no idea what was going on, but thankfully, Momoi knew by now.

"I think she's hungry," she told him.

The red head resisted his urge to slap his own head. Of course it's the voice from her tummy, you idiot, he thought bitterly. "Okay, is there any restaurant with healthy menus around here?" he nodded at her.

Momoi's expression changed. "Just a minute, we can't take her there," she protested again.

"Why not?" Akashi asked back, confused.

"The menu will be too boring, and the mood in that restaurant will somehow be too serious," Momoi explained, and her explanation made no sense at all to his ears.

He thought about breaking her argument, but then she was right so far about the child; Momoi was the one who noticed that the child considered them as her parents, and the one who noticed that she was hungry. "So?" Teiko's captain sighed and decided to trust her, this time.

For the first time that day, Momoi smiled brightly at him, happy that he listened to her, and he felt his heart lighten a bit. Maybe he treated her too harshly after all. Just when she started moving, his arms had automatically reached for her shoulder, making her halt.

"What is it?" she inquired.

"She's heavy," he replied bluntly.

Momoi glanced to the smiling girl in her arms. "Well, just a little bit," she admitted and kissed the child's nose, earning a happy laughter from her.

"That's why I'm the one who should carry her," said Akashi as he carefully lifted the child from her grasp. The child was more than happy to be with him as she laughed harder and hugged his neck, making the point guard smile at her in return. But Momoi was shocked, she had no idea that he still cared about her wellbeing to some point. Well, it was Akashi Seijurou after all.

"This way," she chuckled and led the way after she regained her composure.

Akashi followed her, and five minutes later, they ended up in front of a suspicious looking restaurant with a big, yellow, 'M' letter in front of it, and a creepy clown as its mascot. Momoi brought them in, and soon his eyes widened as he scanned the menus.

"This is very unhealthy," he commented bitterly when they finally got their food and got great seats near the window. His eyes were watching both girls who sat in front of him with slight disapproval.

Momoi had bought herself a very large crispy chicken with one pack of rice and a packet of French fries which, all of them, she shared with the toddler. She also bought a coke for herself and a glass of chocolate milk for the kid, plus an ice cream for dessert.

"Yeah, but it's in a brighter mood and easier menu," the manager threw a piece of meat to her mouth and some fries. "Now, aaaaaaa~" after that she spooned the child with rice and chicken.

"Ammmmm," the little red head opened her mouth. Just a second later her mouth was full from the amount of food that Momoi gave her; she looked like a hamster. "Yum~" and yet she chewed them happily and asked for more after that, so Akashi couldn't protest.

"Oh, she's really cute!" Momoi touched the girl's nose and touched her cheek with her own. Akashi sighed, and she turned to him. "Is it okay? Aren't you hungry?" asked Momoi, as she looked in pity to what was in front of him.

A glass of water. "I rather starve than poison myself," Akashi answered flatly.

"Fine then, it's up to you," commented Momoi boredly.

He said nothing even though her previous act could have been considered as a mockery. He always knew that he was no fun with stuff like these. There was nothing to object, she was right. So he remained quiet until the Teiko manager finished her food with the pink eyed kid.

It seemed like the child somehow noticed her dad's discomfort, so she tried to ease and cheer him a bit. "Dadda, aaa~" she spooned some ice cream and pointed it towards his mouth.

Akashi was surprised by how attentive she was. Even Momoi stopped eating the leftover for a while to witness the cute and cuddly scene in front of her. The pinknette was shocked and had to muffle her sigh when she saw Akashi open his mouth for the ice cream and swallow it whole.

"It's good," he praised as he looked the child, trying to please her. She laughed in happiness right after, and again, like when he saw Momoi's honest smile half an hour ago, his heart lightened. "Thank you, umm.."

"We should name her," Momoi suggested abruptly, and a bit pleadingly if I may add.

"She's not ours to name," Akashi facepalmed. Why would they name a child they didn't even know? Besides, like animals, it'd grow some attachment towards her.

"Momo," but of course, Momoi wouldn't listen to him.

"Eh?" Akashi observed her in disbelief.

"Momo.. It's cute," Momoi beamed brightly.

And just like it used to be, he had a soft spot to just let her be when her innocence took over like this. For example: the disaster on Valentine's Day, where he and the rest of the members didn't have the heart to tell her about how nasty and evil her hand made chocolates were, and when she jumped and almost choked him to death just because she saw an entire hallway blocked by frogs.

"Just don't involve me further in this matter," Akashi gave up and let out a sharp sigh.

Momoi clapped her hands in happiness, and watching her mother being excited like that had made Momo pumped to reward her. "Mamma.. aaa~" she pointed her spoon to Momoi next.

"Ammm~" without a second thought, Momoi welcomed it eagerly and in a joking manner. "It's good, Momo," she patted Momo's head as she licked the small bit of ice cream that was left on her lips.

And Akashi, just couldn't restrain himself from teasing her. He was just a normal boy after all, and now he'd like to start a joke. No matter how unfunny it would be. "Did we just kiss?" he smirked.

He was right and totally pleased as he watched her cheeks tinted with a natural blush. "Don't tease me!" she scolded him and he laughed.

After that he returned his attention towards Momo who was playing with her spoon. "Let's go to a toy shop after this," he suggested afterwards, and his friend nodded in agreement.

So, after everything had settled, the three of them were going together to the toy shop. Akashi pulled a trolley as soon as they arrived, and put Momo at the small seat inside of it. Then he started pushing it around the store with Momoi walking beside him.

Momo looked very happy as her head scanned the room. There were many dolls around her and, basically, toys. There were many kids too, strolling around like her with their happy parents who walked closely together.

So Momo looked to her own parents who walked together but with some safe distance between them. She lured her hand and nudged Momoi's sweater.

"What is it, Momo?" asked Momoi as she bent down.

Momo caught her palm. "Mamma, dadda.." and put it upon Akashi's hand on the trolley handle.

"Eh?" said both of her parents as they stopped walking at the same time and looked at their united hands.

Akashi was the one who realized first that there were people who started to look at them and whisper to each other in disgust.

"Momo, no," Momoi blushed a bit and pulled her hand gruffly. Not only was she embarrassed, she actually still felt very upset towards Akashi and couldn't forget what he did that easily.

"No?" Momo looked at her confusedly.

"You might want to link her with someone else," Akashi scoffed and patted the kid's head, trying to ease the awkward situation. He understood how Momoi was feeling right then because he felt the same, although he was not as embarrassed.

So the stroll continued with peace. Though it only lasted for seven minutes.

"Again~" Momo caught Momoi's hand again and put it on top of Akashi's.

"No sweetheart, don't," this time, Momoi pulled her hand softer than before, trying not to confused her.

"Let's just look at the toys," and again, Akashi was in charge of lightening the mood.

But Momo was stubborn, she didn't give up and linked their hands for the third time that day.

"This!" she wailed in happiness as she looked at her parents' linked hands.

"I said no," this time, Momoi pulled her hand firmly away and scolded her a bit.

Momo scowled. "Ah, this," and tried to reach her hand again.

"Akashi-kun?" Momoi glanced to Akashi, asking for help.

Akashi sighed and massaged his own temple, thinking of a quick solution. "Fine, I'll take her around, keep your distance from us," he finally talked after a minute passed by.

"Don't you think she'll cry?" Momoi asked, worried. Meanwhile, Momo scowl was getting deeper, and the child had finally refused to look in their direction.

"No, I think she's comfortable enough to allow some distance between us, we've been together for more than an hour after all," Akashi shook his head and explained surely.

The manager didn't stay a word after that, waiting for Akashi to act first. So the Teiko captain strolled first, just a little distant from the pinknette. Momo didn't react, so Akashi looked back and nodded to Momoi who nodded back at him and started following them from behind.

"How is it Momo? Which one do you like?" the red head asked in a lighter tone when they finally reached the toddler section. He had some money with him and might have been able to afford her a doll. But the kid didn't answer, she was still scowling and looking at the toy's rack angrily. She's sulking, Akashi concluded and pulled over the trolley. "What's wrong, talk to me?" he said softly as he bent a bit towards her. Momo only spared him a glance before she finally looked back at the rack. "Momo, I'm not happy with your attitude right now, do you understand?" so Akashi straightened himself back and putted his hands on his hip, talking to her firmly.

Momo's gaze changed, she still wasn't looking at him but now she looked sad and lonely. "But I'm not happy too," she mumbled longingly.

Akashi was surprised, he never knew that a child could have so many emotions and expressed them in their own way, and the impact was..

So Akashi left her side quietly, she probably didn't even notice considering how her gaze was pinned down to the floor.

Momoi was looking at him confusedly as he closed the gap between them. "What are you doing?" she whispered harshly when he suddenly took her palm in his.

"Sushh," he exclaimed back and started dragging her to Momo. "Momo!" he called loudly, making her turn her head to them. "Dadda and Mamma, together, right?" the point guard smiled and lifted his and Momoi's linked hands to his shoulder's height.

It took a while for Momo to realize what was happening in front of her. But then the happiest smile had formed on her lips, "Yesh!" and she nodded in excitement.

Seeing her like that somehow made Momoi able to understand her more, and why Akashi had to do what he did right then. They should probably really put aside their fight for the moment, for the sake of this lonely child who missed her parents so badly.

Akashi let Momoi's hand go, then he moved to the trolley and jokingly rocked it. "Yippie! Dadda!" which earned a burst of laughter from Momo.

"Come here, Satsuki," after that, the boy looked at the girl beside him and lured his hand.

Momoi sighed. "Oh well," but she welcomed his hand and let him lead her to stand beside him very closely, before the trolley. Her hands gripped the handle nervously and hardly as she felt his arm circling around her shoulder. She blushed, again. She never had been this close to a boy before, even with her childhood friend, at least since fifth grade. And Akashi never did this before. Sure they hugged and were closer than the others, but that kind of contact often happened not on purpose. She wondered if he was feeling nervous too.

Meanwhile, Akashi was trying his best to put his hand carefully around her, wondering if he put them on the right place, without making her uncomfortable, he hoped. He never did this before, not with a girl. Yes she leaped into his arms, once, but that wasn't on purpose. Their most intimate contacts had their own limits; from wiping sweat to patting head only. Then suddenly, he was shocked when Momoi let one of her grips off the trolley and put it around his waist. Suddenly, his body froze, and he felt a tickling sensation in his belly that he only felt during the last seconds before a match was over.

"What is it?" Momoi asked confusedly when her friend didn't move at all.

"Nothing," somehow, Akashi succeeded in producing an answer.

Momo had watched them in pure joy larger than life itself, and she started gurgling and talking incoherently when they started strolling again as a group and , couldn't restrain her happiness.

"Relax," whispered Akashi as Momoi shifted uncomfortably under his arm.

"I'm good," Momoi said.

"Your shoulder is stiff," he still protested.

"Your waist is too," she shot back.

Annoyed, he glanced down to look at her while she looked up to stare at him with the same irritation. They were just watching each other's facial expression for a while, and didn't even say a thing. Then, Akashi had lost, the side of his lips curled up first, forming a smile, and soon Momoi mimicked his gesture. They spurted out laughing after that, and they didn't even know why, maybe because of his extremely furrowed brows and her ridiculously puffed cheek.

The mood had lightened, and as he pushed the trolley again, both him and Momoi walked with a far more enjoyable pace;, they even started talking about how the school went that day, and their limbs were not as stiff as five minutes ago. That was until both of them realized that Momo was pointing to the teddy bear section.

"So, have you decided, Momo?" Akashi left Momoi's side to walk towards the doll rack.

"Pink one.." Momo lured her arms to the pink medium sized fluffy teddy bear's direction.

"And the ribbon? To make it pretty," Momoi clasped her hands in front of her chest and asked cheerfully.

"With red!" Momo exclaimed at her excitingly.

"Then red it is," Momoi beamed and winked to Akashi's direction.

"Red it is," Akashi smiled back at her as he walked to the ribbon stands. Unfortunately, as he pulled the red silk with his fingers…

"My, my, my, have they no shame?" the whispers between some people who were watching them closely since Akashi and Momoi walked as a pair, began.

"Young women nowadays have no manners!" plus the disgusted look that they received all day, thanks to Momo's presence with them and her continual consistence at calling them dadda and mamma.

"Excuse me." Running out of patience, Akashi had finally confronted them. They flinched, astounded by his cold gaze and firm tone. "But I will really appreciate it if all of you don't comment on things you don't know about."

"Dadda scary.." whimpered Momo as she watched her father walk back to the trolley.

"He's just joking with the old ladies, don't worry Momo," Momoi chuckled, calming her, and lifted her out from the trolley.

"O-old ladies?" exclaimed the ladies who Akashi talked to.

Momoi ignored them and let Akashi, who brought the doll and the ribbon with him, put his hand on her back and led her and Momo away from them. They headed to the cashier straight away.

"I can tell that they're really annoyed," Akashi smirked as he pulled out his wallet and paid for the toy.

"Well, they're annoying," Momoi scowled and shifted Momo in her arms.

"Good job," the captain complimented her jokingly.

"I sure did," and she huffed proudly.

Meanwhile, outside the shop, behind the stained glass of an Italian restaurant, five boys had been peeping on them curiously.

"Hey, this is good, right, ssu?" a relieved smile formed on Kise's lips.

"They… look like a real couple," Aomine pointed out the obvious. He had blinked confusedly and in disbelief for several times now, just from watching their captain and their manager.

Kuroko had been quiet since the scouting began, something had really been bothering his mind. "Don't you think that the child really resembles both of them?"

Murasakibara had soon looked at Momo closely after his words. "You're right.. Pink eyes, red hair.." he agreed with that dreamy tone of his.

Midorima brows furrowed. "She eerily looks like their real child," he added, amazed.

Now, the troublesome family had finally walked out from the store. Momo played with her new teddy bear and was back in Akashi's embrace while Momoi walked closely next to them.

"It's very crowded around here," Akashi eyes narrowed as he watched the group of people in front of them that had somehow multiplied like bunnies when they were shopping, upset. "Tuck your hand around my elbow, we can't be separated from each other," he then looked to his friend.

"Of course," Momoi nodded and did as he said. He had led the way after that, but still didn't know where to go. Maybe it was better for them to wait in the office from now on. "Hey, Akashi-kun, why don't we go outside? There's a water park right across the mall," but then Momoi suggested a better idea.

"Anywhere but here is fine," Akashi definitely approved.

So, with extra effort, the three of them had finally managed to get out. It was really packed inside the mall, so they were relieved to finally inhale the air outside.

Momo shouted in extreme happiness when Akashi had put her down in Water Park. She had immediately gone to chase the water that shot out continuously from bellow while Akashi sat down on the nearby bench, exhausted.

This is somehow more tiring than our normal drills, especially mentally, he thought as he opened his blazer and loosened his tie.

"Come on Momo! I'll catch you," Momoi on the other hand, still looked bright as usual even though she was overheated just like him. She opened her cardigan, set it down next to Akashi, and started chasing Momo.

Momo let out a high pitched laughter as her mother chased her through the jumping and twirling water. They played for a while, getting their clothes a bit soaked.

Akashi sighed and watched them in a serene manner, leaning back leisurely while his hands supported his form.

Momoi caught Momo and gave her a spin. "Dadda!" the little girl cried to him in pure happiness.

"No, Dadda don't like to be wet," Akashi shook his head. Momoi set Momo down, and the toddler had straightly ran to her dad, jumping and pulling his hand despite his ongoing protest. "Okay.." he finally gave up and Momo let his hand go, running back to Momoi. She bumped into Momoi, laughing, then turned her head towards Akashi and waved at him cheerfully. A grin formed on Akashi's lips, and he sprinted towards the little one. "Come here, you!"

"Run Momo, run!" Momoi exclaimed jokingly.

Momo did as her mother said and ran as far as her tiny feet could. Akashi had easily chased her and caught her with his quick arms. "Got you!" he shouted and tickled her belly until she released another high pitch laughter.

"Akashi-kun!" he heard Momoi's voice so he turned around. "Think fast!" and he was caught off guard when she shot him with the spare water gun that the park staff put in the basket near the sink.

The manager laughed so hard until she almost fell since he could only close his eyes and spit out the water, thanks to Momo in his arms.

"Dadda's wet!" Momo pointed up and gurgled happily at him.

"Yes Momo, dadda's wet!" Momoi agreed and shot him again, getting her revenge. Well, she might be able to forgive him after this, he was so soaked right now after all, but only if he apologized too.

Akashi's eyes were probably closed, but he managed to set down Momo carefully, and after that he quickly made a run towards the team's manager. Momoi shrieked and stopped shooting at him, starting to dash away. But her opponent was the Teiko captain, and in no time he already caught up to her, hugging her waist and dragging her to the center of the park, where the shooting was fiercest and happened only every fifteen seconds.

"No, don't!" she begged and kicked around. But his grip was too strong, and without further delay, he successfully reached the exact spot he wanted.

"Oh come on, this was your idea to play around in the water," Akashi held her still and intended to run after that.

"No! Then we're going to get wet together!" but Momoi blocked him and seized his hand tightly.

Akashi tried to break free, but failed miserably. Without any warning, the water had successfully sprouted beneath them, drenching them without mercy. Momoi shrieked and held onto Akashi's arms tightly while the boy closed his eyes and busily spluttered out the water from his mouth.

He growled at her when the show had finished, but she snickered so hard and kindly removed the damp bangs that covered his wet face.

Finally, it was almost sunset now, and the teens and the toddler had stopped playing. After drying themselves with limited tools (Akashi's clean towel), the three of them were now lying on the grass at the side of the park.

"She's sleeping," Momoi whispered softly as she watched Momo who was sound asleep between the two of them. The kid had laid above her cardigan, which was now half wet too because Momo didn't dry her body completely.

"She must've been very exhausted," Akashi commented, he laid on his side and propped his elbow to support his head.

"Me too," Momoi sighed. "Actually, we need to find her dry clothes, fast, before she gets a cold."

"Agreed. But let's just lay here for another 3 minutes, and we'll go after that," Akashi nodded, enjoying the small break.

Momoi gave him a small smile. "Hey, captain," she called.

"Yes, manager?" he smirked back at her.

"Aren't we supposed to be fighting?" asked the pinknette calmly.

"Well, I thought both of us decided on a truce for the sake of this kid," the red head tilted his head teasingly.

Momoi scoffed. "A truce, huh?" and replayed his word.

His smirk grew wider, and when he was about to answer her, there was an incoming call to his cellphone.

"Yes?" he picked it up immediately, leaving Momoi to watch him in curiosity. "I see. We're at the park across the street. We'll be waiting," Akashi nodded a few minutes later, and finally ended the call. "Satsuki," he looked down to his manager again.

"Ngh?" she inquired.

"Momo's parents will be here any minute now, make yourself representable."

"Her parents..?" Momoi mumbled, she almost forgot about the real reason why Momo had ended up with them. She felt a pang in her heart, something sad, all of a sudden.

"Yeah," Akashi nodded slowly, noticing her surprised expression and the disbelief in her tone. He grabbed Momo and woke her up gently after that.

Momoi stood up and walked weakly to her bag. She didn't have any spare clothes with her, so the least she could do was comb her hair and tie them in a ponytail so that it looked tidy. Behind her, Akashi had started drying himself and Momo all over again.

"Sakurako!" finally, a woman showed up seven minutes later. Her hair was vibrant red, just like Momo's—or Sakurako. And Sakurako seemed to recognize her. The toddler broke free from Momoi's arms and ran towards the woman's embrace. "Oh my God, I was so worried!" said Sakurako's mother as she hugged her daughter. "Ah, are you the students who taking care of her?" she finally straightened herself after few minutes and smiled to Akashi and Momoi.

"Yes, I'm Momoi Satsuki, this is Akashi Seijurou," Momoi smiled back and bowed to her.

"It's nice meeting you," Akashi bowed to her too.

"I can't thank you enough," and in the end she bowed to both of them.

"I'm sorry but, what happened?" asked the captain after the formality finished, starting to feel upset towards this lady who had abandoned her child.

"Her father got a heart attack when we were shopping.. I brought him to the hospital as soon as I could, then I realized she was not beside me anymore," the lady explained sadly, making Akashi feel guilty afterwards.

"We're very sorry to hear that," said he, sympathizing.

"How is he now?" Momoi added, worried.

"He's stabile, but.. I thought I'd never see my daughter again," the lady smiled at her and hugged Sakurako again. "How can I ever repay you?" there were some tears in her eyes, happy tears. Both teens could see how much she was touched by their actions.

"Don't worry, we had a great time with her. She's a wonderful child," Akashi was the first one who snapped from that thought and shook his head.

"Yeah, she makes us happy, that's enough," Momoi nodded abruptly soon after, blushing.

Sakurako's mother exhaled in relief. "Okay then, thank you very much, I will never forget this and someday I'll repay you," she bowed at them one more time. "Come Saku, you have to say good bye to onii-san and onee-san," she then talked softly to Sakurako who was now very attached towards her.

Momoi thought that the little girl would not recognize her and Akashi again after that, especially her. But she was wrong. Sakurako turned her head to her, beaming brightly, and running to hug her and Akashi's thigh at the same time, making her parent stunned.

Momoi kneeled down and hugged her dearly. "Okay, Saku-chan, be a good girl and listen well to your mother, keep healthy and grow strong, okay?" she told her sweetly.

"Don't slip off again, it's not good," Akashi smiled at the kid gently and patted her head.

"Dadda.. Mamma.." said Sakurako as she laughed and exchanged glances with the two of them.

Momoi wanted to say another sentence, but she just froze. "We're going to miss you," fortunately, Akashi seemed to understand the situation and voiced her thoughts.

"You make a good couple. I'm sure that if you stick out 'till the end, one day, if you have a daughter, she'll look exactly like Saku," complimented the lady when Sakurako had finally gone back into her arms.

Both the captain and the manager had exchanged glances at the same time after hearing her words. None of them blushed. Akashi chuckled after that and Momoi giggled. They shared the same thought, though, that there was no way they were going to be a couple in the future, especially sharing the same daughter.

"Well then, farewell!"

"Tha tha!"

The mother and the child had finally walked away, hand in hand, waving to them cheerfully. And they waved back with a sad but relieved feeling.

"You're sad, aren't you?" commented Akashi as he turned back to gather his things on the bench.

"Yes, but I'm also happy that she found her mother. I hope her father is alright," Momoi followed his action and walked to her own bag. "One day, when I have a daughter, I'll name her Momo," she smiled happily as she put her half wet cardigan into her bag.

"I'm sure she'll be stubborn, just like you," Akashi sneered and lifted his bag to his shoulder.

"And I'm sure your daughter will be as arrogant as you," Momoi scowled and also wore her back pack.

"Do you want to bet?" he teased her more.

Momoi nodded surely. s"Sure. One day, let's see what each other's daughters will look like!" and beamed brightly at him.

Akashi snorted at her reaction. "Wear this, before you catch a cold," and, without warning, threw his blazer at her. "Don't leave us, okay?" he stifled his laughter when he watched Momoi catch it in surprise.

"Akashi.. kun?" Momoi stared at him in disbelief. She couldn't belief her eyes and her ears. A light blush tinted her cheeks. "I'm sorry that I made you upset. I guess that you're right in some way." In the end, she looked down to her shoes, and was the one who apologized. "Don't worry, I won't leave the team," after that she looked up to him again and smiled assuredly.

"Good," Akashi smirked. "You can still do the thing that made me mad though, just… next time you have to make sure that you're wearing training pants under your skirt every time you're going to shoot the ball before the match. I don't care if that's based on your enthusiasm or whatever. It'll served as a distraction to the other team, I don't want them to play less than 100%," and explained his solution to her, ending this ridiculous fight. She already apologized, so he needed to cut off some slack too.

"It's not my fault that they stared at my panties!" Momoi put her hands on her hip and yelled at him, upset. "But fine, I'll do it your way, since we finally reach an agreement," she added with a softer tone after that, while puffing her cheeks.

"Yeah, it's a win-win," Akashi crossed his arms, proud at his victory. Their victory, actually. It was their first fight, and he hoped there weren't going to be more fights in the future. He needed her, he knew that now.

Suddenly…

"SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE BEEN FIGHTING ABOUT!?" the rest of Kiseki No Sedai and Kuroko had finally jumped out from the bushes, revealing themselves, and confronted them angrily. Well, Aomine and Kise were the angriest, they were the ones who yelled the loudest.

Momoi blushed madly. "Dai-chan, Ki- What are you guys doing here?!" she blurted out confusedly.

"I knew it, nanodayo," the point guard sighed and fixed his glasses.

"At least the problem's solved, thanks to their daughter," said the center as he opened his lollipop package and put it whole in his mouth.

"I'm so happy that you're not going to quit, Momoi-san," while the phantom sixth man smiled in relief to their manager.

"E-even Tetsu-kun!?" Momoi used Akashi's blazer to hide her red face. She had no idea about what was going on today. It's too overwhelming for her. Did this mean they also heard about her pantie problem?

"I told you, there's no way he was asking you out," Akashi glanced at her and chuckled.

"Hey!" again, Momoi slapped his arms for the second times today.

"Yes, Tetsuya, she'll stay with us, isn't that wonderful?" the point guard ignored her and smiled back to Kuroko. "Now.. Where do I have to start?" after that, his gaze had turned dark and he quickly shifted his glance to Aomine and Kise.

"W-WE'RE SORRYYYY!" both the small forward and the power forward were getting paler and yelling in fear as their captain started to make a run towards them.

Momoi sighed tiredly, ignoring the incoherent voices around her.

What a perfect end to a beautiful day.

-End-

So, how was it? Long isn't it? lol

Anyway, I'm sorry if it's not quite to your expectation. To tell you the truth I had more fluff in mind; like putting them in a house together for one night, and a steamy bath… Okay the last one was a bit pervert. But then I thought that it wouldn't match up well with the plot because the progress will be too fast and I'm afraid that it's going to be so out of their character. So I canceled it. Again, I'm deeply apologized.

Please don't forget to review and please read the additional info on the next chapter since it'll decide the future of Red Mix Pink series.
