Chapter 13

Finally after what was about an hour for Yumi but only a minute in reality Hino let go of him and he ran over behind Shin looking for protection. Hino huffed out and noticed how a couple of people in the crowd behind them was laughing.

"You think that this is funny" questions Hino as she turns around and looks at them with a class A Hino glare.

Akashi couldn't help but smile as he watched her huff and cross her arms and look away from everyone. He walks up to her slowly not catching her attention. He grabs her hand and puts in up to his mouth and kisses it slowly and once again at her wrist bone slowly as well as he finally looked up at her face. Which was pink but she was smiling which was good. It made Akashi proud of the fact that he could make her blush and smile at the same time. Everyone in the room was quiet as they watched this private moment between the two captains.

It was a good warm moment that made most of them smile but that was messed up when Kei jumped out of nowhere and grabbed hold of Hino's shoulders and placed his body square between the two of them. Hino looked up to her brother with a what the heck face as he turned his back to her and stared down Akashi.

"What do you think you are doing Akashi" says Kei seriously (totally forgetting how this small boy makes his knees shake in fear).

"I was only talking with your sister" says Akashi like he didn't just kiss Hino's hand.

Which didn't help with the situation they were in...ok it really didn't help at all. Because as soon as Kei heard him say that Kei got even more riled up.

"Akashi" he said under his breath as he narrowed his eyes.

Akashi seeing this as a challenge narrowed his eyes and stood his ground not once blinking. Hino just stood there awkwardly watching the starring match happen. She noticed how some of the people from the other teams have left during this argument. Now there was only her, her team, Kei, Akashi, Midorima, Kise, Aomine, Kagami , Kuroko.

Just great she thought as she dropped her head into her hand with a loud sigh. She peeked through her fingers when she heard a loud thump and a whine coming from Akashi and Kei's direction. She looked up just in time to watch Kei fall to the ground and Akashi stand above him with a winning smirk.

"Don't you dare smirk at me" says Kei as he huff up at Akashi. He was about to get up and try again when a hand landed on his head and pushed him straight back down.

"Sorry about that Seijuro-san" says Hino as she holds down Kei with her hand and smiles up at Akashi with a gentle smile.

"No problem" says Akashi as he smiled back to her understanding her situation completely.

"Don't just push me down Hino" says Kei as he pops up from his spot on the ground pushing Hino's hand from his hand.

"You'll be fine Kei its your fault anyways for jumping in between us like that to begin with" says Hino as she crosses her arms.

"Well...its just that he is crazy" says Kei finally after he looks back to Akashi and then to Hino.

"We will talk about this later" says Hino as she once again pushes Kei away from her towards Kagami and Kuroko. Kagami just looks at Kei how by now was sulking.

"I can't believe that she just pushed me away like that "says Kei as imaginary tears came to his eyes. Kagami pats his arm and shakes his head. Kuroko watched as Kagami tried his best to stop and comfort Kei from crying his eyes out in front of everyone.

"Come on Keicchi it's not like Akashicchi will hurt Hinoicchi" says Kise as he pops up in front of Kei with a smile and a finger propped up in his face.

"Yes, I agree with Kise, Akashi would never purposely hurt Hino" says Midorima as he watches Kei pout. Aomine and Momoi just stood there and fought about trying to get Aomine to stop laughing.

"Dai-chan that's mean of you" says Momoi as she hits Aomine on the head with her fist.

"I can't help it this is just so freaking funny" says Aomine as he openly laughs at Kei and his crying face.

Meanwhile in Akashi and Hino's little world. "So it seems as though you took my offering of invitation" said Akashi with a gentleman's smile.

"Why I couldn't just ignore such an amazing offering could I have" questions Hino as she too smiles. This is nice thought Hino as she thought about how they could still talk like this after what had seemed like years.

"Do you know who you will be going against in the first match" asks Akashi as he turned towards Kei and the other and watched Momoi hit Aomine and Kei start to join in as well ?

"I believe the team's name was some like Hiaku High School they are supposed to be pretty ok" says Hino as she took watches their little group of people.

"I would have never guessed that you would have become a Captain says Akashi as he looks over to Hino's team. Who was this entire time standing there loyally like usually talking among themselves that was until Kei spotted them as well and waved them over.

" can't say that you are wrong"says Hino as she smiles and watches her teammates interact.

"Why" asks Akashi very curious about what would make a hyper girl who loved to play around want to become a Captain in the first place.

A captain has to be strong, supportive but strict. They couldn't be your friend and be your captain. That was at least what Akashi thought was the way of the Captain.

But Hino knew better she was a friend to her teammates. She was there for them when they needed her. For instance, Yumi needed help with his Trigonometry most of the time and would call up his captain for help. Or if one of them had trouble with a teacher or other students just call up Captain Hino and she would take care of the problem. Hino liked that way of being a captain. True, she tried her best at first to keep her distance away from her teammates. But after a while she just couldn't help it. I mean...just look at them they were so adorable who wouldn't want to help them out. Hino turned to Akashi who was still waiting for her answer to his question.

" Why you ask" asks Hino with a smile.

Akashi raised an eyebrow at her facial expression before she turned towards him and said something that stunned him for a moment.

"Because that's how much I love this team, I am willing to do anything for my teammates, to make them better I will give up everything" says Hino as she watches Reo hit his limit and start to beat up poor little Yumi which like usual would hide behind Tatsu or Shin. Since Reo seemed to never hit anyone but Yumi himself.

"That was a very Captain like answer" says Akashi as he lets out a quiet laugh and joins her side by side to watch the group interact as well.

It seemed that no one noticed that the emperors where watching them and laughing at the little stupid things they would do.
