Because it's the last exam before summer, we had the exam only until Thursday, which is today.

Once the chime for our last exam ended, I immediately got my phone, turned it on, and waited for couple of minutes. But I was surprised when I received messages one after another, even voice mails!

I went out to the hallway and check the voicemails, but almost 20 voicemails for an unknown number, and 10 from dad. The unknown number didn't say anything, but dad was anxiously looking for me. But it was Monday, and I had exam during that time. Well, I somehow had an idea why I had these much of call from dad. But for that unknown number, I had no idea why, but I had an idea who could it be.

Last Saturday, Jiro briefly explained what happened since that Fukunaga Masaru showed up. I was dumbfounded but it really happened.

Last Monday
~Akashi~

After giving off warning to Fukunaga Masaru, Akashi went to the soccer field and immediately asked someone to call Ukyo and Jiro.

The two were confused since they never thought that Akashi would go and call them during practice.

"This is surprising. To think that Seijurou would be here" Jiro chuckled as he wiped off his sweat

"Is there something wrong?" Ukyo asked as he drank water, but froze when Akashi asked him

"You heard of Kinagawa Hiiro?"

Ukyo didn't response right away but Jiro could see the anger welling up from his friend

"Who is that?" Jiro turned to Akashi "first time hearing that name"

"One of the two people who tried to kidnap my older sister two years ago, then got away with it because of lack of evidence. Or more like, they threw all the blame to one of their friends." Ukyo responded crushing the empty water bottle on his hand "then, what's with him?"

"He was here"

"What?!" He was about to run but Akashi grabbed his arm

"He already left. Surely he went to follow (f/n)"

Ukyo looked at Akashi, more confused to what he said. Even Jiro was confused, to why (f/n) was involved

"Listen first. He disappeared since then, and we didn't hear anything about it." Akashi faced Ukyo and seriously looked at him "that was because he has another name, and I believe this time, it's his real name, Fukunaga Masaru"

"What?!"

"I met him a while ago, and he was claiming to be the son of (f/n)'s father's friend. This time, I think we'll be able to pin him down. This time, he mentioned his real name" Akashi crossed his arms then he continued "so Ukyo, time for your men to work. Here's the info. That man is outside (f/n)'s apartment mansion" Akashi handed his phone, showing the info he had, name, car's plate number, (f/n)'s address, everything

Ukyo got Akashi's phone and nodded at him "I'll borrow your phone to call." He moved aside and immediately call someone

Akashi then turned to Jiro, who blinked fast, feeling nervous from Akashi's sudden gaze

"Did I do something wrong?"

"Talk to (f/n)'s friend that you fancy"

"Sayaka-chan? Why?"

"Briefly explain the situation, make sure not to let (f/n) go home by herself. So, ask her to tell (f/n) that she'd send (f/n) home. And since you fancy her friend, then tell them that you would send (f/n) as well, then send her friend. Don't worry, there will be people following you behind. But just make sure not to let (f/n) be by herself"

Jiro smiled and nodded, giving him a thumbs up as well "Leave it to me then. Don't worry, I'll explain it to Sayaka-chan. We'll look after (f/n)-chan. But, she sures attract unbelievable people. She also attracted you"

"What are you implying?"

Jiro flinched but laughed as he saluted "nothing, anyways, I'll go back now. Leave (f/n)-chan to me and Sayak-chan! See you!" And with that he left

~present time~
~(f/n)'s pov~

Jiro told us last Saturday, and I was surprised that Sayaka knew about it. So that was why I felt something different when they suddenly decided to send me home.

But after that, Jiro said that there were people following us, making sure of our safety.

Also, to think that I became a target and was about to be kidnapped. He said that according to their investigation, I became a target when I won the international tournament. Also, Ukyo's older sister was a victim. Though she was saved, she was traumatized with what happened.

Last Saturday, Jiro told us that Akashi being there was 100% coincidence since he was dragged by his father. Someone was following Fukunaga Masaru and found his way seeing the person following me.

Anyways, it was crazy because Jiro told us to don't worry about it anymore because of exams.

Well, my dad also told me to focus for my upcoming exams. Akashi also told me last Sunday, and even told me to turn off my phone.

I kept my phone off, but I made sure that it had a battery.

I hurriedly dialed Akashi's number, and it rang once, twice, and finally!

"Ah, Akashi!"

"Can't you wait until you win the individual tournament?"

"Wow, but you know already that I'll call you regarding that. You're the only one who knew everything -"

"It's not just me who knows everything."

"Wait, Akashi!" And with that, the call ended. That stupid red hair! "You know that I'd call you! Stupid Akashi!"

"Well, that explains now why he asked me to go see you." I turned towards that voice, and it's Ukyo. "But I'm surprised that you can call him"

"Akashi asked you to see me?" I asked and gasped, remembering that his sister was involved in something like this before

"Seeing your reaction, you heard about my sister?" He asked, and I couldn't respond, but I was surprised when I heard him chuckled "Follow me. Seijurou told me to tell you what happened. If I won't tell you, you won't be able to focus on your upcoming tournament. Let's go. I know a place where we can talk properly. Not here in the hallway. "

And while following Ukyo, we saw Sayaka walking towards us in, having a big wide smile with a box of chocolate

"Ahre, what a surprise combi! Here, I bought this yesterday from one of my favourite bakery, their new invention and just got released yesterday" she grinned "have some. To rejuvenate us, "

"Thank you" I got one and wow "it's delicious! What's with this taste... peach?"

"Oh so you got the peach flavour? This is a seasonal chocolate of them. I got the variety flavour, so one chocolate with peach flavour, one with plum flavour, one with grape flavour, then the rest have watermelon. How about Ukyo?"

"I got one of watermelon flavours. It's quite a unique taste" Ukyo nodded."I like it. "

"So only the plum flavour left. I got the grape a while ago, and the others got watermelon." Sayaka chuckled "anyways, sorry for stopping you two. You are going somewhere, right?"

"Yeah, I'll see you later. Thank you for the treats. "

We excused ourselves, and I again followed Ukyo.

~

I couldn't help but silently follow Ukyo behind. He is quite a handsome; or, more like, he looked like a black-haired Midorima, but just the appearance. Midorima has a childish side, while Ukyo has this mature and big brother side, more like Kuroko's personality.

To my surprised, we arrived in 1st year building's rooftop, and there's garden here. I didn't know such a place

"You often come here, Ukyo?"

"Yeah, there's not much of people coming here, especially during lunch,"

I roamed my eyes around, and yeah, it's just me and him. I could hear students' voices, but it seemed so far. This place is so beautiful though, there's greenhouse, variety of flowers, amazing scenery.

I looked at Ukyo and broke the silence "but is it okay to talk such topic in this kind of place?"

"My older sister was the one who started this in this school"

"Eh?"

"She's three years older than me, and she was a student of Rakuzan. She started this rooftop garden when she was in first year. Aside from her sports team, she was part of the green club"

"You joined that as well?" I curiously asked and he shook his head

"No, but I sometimes volunteer. I am not like my sister. Anyways, she was studying here until two years ago" he looked at me, as if waiting for me to tell him what I know so far

"Jiro told us that she was almost got kidnapped, and one of the kidnappers was that Fukunaga Masaru"

"Not almost, she got kidnapped. She was like you, not in archery but in fencing. She was so good that Rakuzan Fencing team became known because of her. But yeah, two years ago, she became more famouse when she won against the defending world champion. Everyone's eyes were on her, even those crazy guys. There were three of them who were courting her. She was ignoring them though, but instead of stopping, they instead went on worse"

"So they kidnapped her instead. Then she was rescued?"

"No, she escaped. She was good in fencing, so she escaped on her own. But, it still gave her trauma"

"But according to Jiro, the two kidnappers got away, and one of that was that man"

"Yeah" Ukyo sighed and I could see his fists "against my family, and Akashi family, they were able to caught one of the guys. But because he felt guilty and so he was arrested, additionally the other two pushed the blame on him. After that though, those two just disappeared in a thin air. No records of them"

"Until one of them appeared all of a sudden, and it happened again here in Rakuzan" I looked at him and seriously asked "what happened to that man now? Jiro said that your family and even Akashi's investigated him, thanks to the fact that he introduced himself with his real name."

"Yeah, I was eager to find them after all. We were able to find every nook of them, thanks to Fukunaga Masaru. They are a group of college and adult men who targeted high school girls. Asking them to go out, but if being ignored or rejected, they would kidnap them, and I think you don't want to hear what they do after, right?"

I nodded and gazed away "yeah, I can guess what they do."

"We supposed to wait for one more week, because we need more evidence so they can't get away, but Seijurou called and said to go on plan."

"And they got arrested?"

"Every one of them last Monday morning. We were all taking exams, while the police arrested them."

"So it was finally case closed"

"Well, that Fukunaga Masaru was able to escape still. And you didn't hear anything from your parents?" He asked and I just nodded

"No, I didn't. I was focus with the exams after all. I didn't hear anything about that case. So my dad found out about it after all"

"The police went to Fukunaga's parents last Monday to tell them that their son was wanted, and missing. They inform them everything what their son did, and your father was in there when they found out that their son's next victim was you"

"So that was why I saw lots of messages sent to me last Monday, then dad picked me up" I sighed as I crossed my arms

"I think it was also because the fact that Fukunaga was here in Rakuzan. He was in the archery dojo."

"WHAT?!"

"Well, Seijurou told them already that if he escaped and went missing, he would at least get you to have something out of the mess" Ukyo looked at me and smiled "but well, he was arrested here in Rakuzan. They didn't announce it here because everyone was taking exams anyways, but all teachers were informed. There were lots of police here last Monday"

I sighed and stretched my hands "well, at least that's case closed now. Thank you, Ukyo. I should thank Akashi later too"

"Ah there he is- (f/n) is also here?" We turned to that voice and it was Rio with Anna "what are you two doing?"

"Ukyo was telling me about what happened to the case we talked about last Saturday" I responded and my gaze just went to Anna, who was somehow doing her best to smile

"Is something wrong?"

"No, I went to your class. My mom wanted to give these documents to you. Seijurou-sama told me you would be here"

"... give that to Seijurou instead. He needs that"

"Eh? Give it to him instead." Rio tried to hand the documents but Ukyo wasn't receiving it

"That's important, so better to give him right away" Ukyo again retorted

"Gosh, why does everyone order me around?!" Rio hissed then looked at Anna "I'll go back to your class, are you going to stay here?"

"No, I have somewhere to go" and she left

"Anyways, I'll leave the two of you then. (F/n), I'll see you later during the meeting"

I nodded and watched Rio left leaving me with just Ukyo again. "You aren't going to follow Anna?"

"No, we have more to talk about"

"But that can wait. I mean, she's clearly annoyed though"

"Did Seijurou tell you that she's my girlfriend?"

"Isn't she?" I asked back but I think I was more surprised to his response

"She isn't though. More like, Anna wanted Seijurou to feel jealous and tell her that she is his fiancé"

"I am now at lost, but Akashi said that they aren't really engage and Anna knew about it already. They have a deal he said. They are just waiting for something before he announced that they are not engaged"

Ukyo crossed his arms and yeah he was in deep thought "I don't know about their deal, but Anna might be just buying time, until my sister returns"

"Huh?"

"Ah, the truth is, I heard that actually it should be my sister, Seijurou's fiancé should be my sister. But because my sister got traumatized, she decided to move to study abroad instead. Also, Anna likes Seijuro ever since. That was why when I saw the news that they got engaged, I already gave up"

So Ukyo likes Anna, but Anna really likes Akashi. Akashi though...

"But Seijurou likes you instead"

"Huh?"

"Back in middle school, Seijurou care less to the other girls except Momoi and you. Momoi is obviously a friend to him, but you, it was different. I know Anna doesn't like you, and she prefer my sister instead"

"Anna likes you instead, Ukyo" We turned towards that voice, and it was no other than Akashi, with the documents in his hands "the deal Anna and I had something to do with you, but that will wait. Your sister, Nana will be coming home, or more like she'll return only during summer." Akashi approached me and I was surprised when suddenly Akashi grabbed me and pulled closer to him

"Akashi?!"

"I told you to inform her what happened, I didn't tell you to be alone with her here."

What's with this guy?!

"First of all, we wouldn't be here if you told me instead of ending the call!" I freed myself, "what are you doing here anyways? Ukyo and I are talking something important, so can you please leave us here"

"Ukyo"

"Yeah, yeah, I'll leave the two of you here. I informed her about what happened anyways. Well then-"

"Ukyo" Akashi again called him and handed the documents Rio gave him. I feel bad for Rio "I read the documents inside and they are for your parents to see. Also, again, Anna likes you. Don't worry, it will be soon"

"... thanks for this. And for Anna, who knows. See you later"

And he left

"You know, you shouldn't spoil that. At least let Anna tell him herself"

I sighed but flinched when Akashi suddenly turned to me and I could feel him glaring.

Why?!

"You should have waited for me to tell you-"

"But you told Ukyo to find me and explain it, right?" I interrupted but smiled at him "thank you still. I heard what happened and I am thankful to what you did."

He sighed then handed an envelope to me.

"I still need to see you since grandmother asked me to personally give that to you"

I opened the envelope and it's the birthday party invitation from Aoki-obaachan!

"So the date had been decided. Thank you! Is it really okay for me to attend?"

"She told me that I am not allowed to attend her party if I don't bring you, and I will be banned from my family on my mother's side. So whether you like it or not, I'll drag you that day."

"Then what's the point of giving me this?" I sighed "Oh well. But you aren't going to watch this coming Saturday? So you gave it today?"

"I can't just casually give that to you in front of those people. Also, I want to test something out"

"You are right. They will misunderstand. Hmmmm? Test something out?" I asked but froze when suddenly I was surprised when I felt Akashi's lips on top on mine

But unlike from before, I felt him bit my lips, and felt his tongue on mine. What's with this kiss?! I shut my eyes closed, and felt this crazy situation I am in.

I could feel his hand behind my head, pulling me closer, and his tongue and lips felt so soft and hot that I couldn't help but fall to his dominance. I moved along his motion.

I only knew this kind of kiss through the games, and anime I watched. I got a jist to what should I do, but this is still beyond expectation, and experience! Breathing through my nose is hard as well, or should I even?!

I grabbed Akashi's shoulder since I'm losing my breathe!

Thankfully though he got the hint and he finally moved back. I looked at him and what's this hot and sexy man in front of me!

His eyes looking straight at me, as he licked his lips with his tongue, then wiped his lips with his left thumb, and using that left thumb of his, he wiped my lips.

What's with this sexy man?!

No, wait!

Not that!

"What's with you?!" I hissed but still felt my heart throbbing vigorously. My body feels so hot! I glared at him and again complained "What's with that kind of kiss?! It was so er-er-....!"

No! I am so embarrassed to even say it!

"That was quite a good experience" he commented and his gaze not leaving mine "I was told before about that, and so I wanted to try it."

"Was told before?" ... wait... Don't tell me...? "Akashi... Don't tell me again... Aomine, Kise, and Haizaki told you about that kind of kiss?!"

"Who else should know about that? Haizaki and Aomine mentioned it first, then Aomine and Kise again mentioned it. Midorima and the others were there as well, even Nijimura-senpai"

Those idiots!

"I told you, don't mind what those three said! I mean-"

"They received a slap in the head from Nijimura-senpai. I forgot, but I just remembered and it was a good experiment."

"Please don't do it so casually. It's so bad to my heart"

"Expect that from now on" I was about to retort when his face suddenly twitched, then covered his lips. "Did you eat some chocolate? And what's with this taste, peach?"

"Yeah..."

"I just discovered now that I quite don't like the taste of chocolates with peach flavour. It's quite not going well with my taste bud"

"It's your fault for tasting from someone else's" I commented in low voice but I think he heard me, since I heard his low chuckle "anyways, I'm going back now"

~

Well, he also went back with me, still covering his mouth, and having this annoyed face

"You know, if you really hate that kiss so much, don't do that ever again"

"It's not that. I still can taste the chocolate with peach flavour you had."

"It's not my fault." I retorted "go drink some water then somewhere. "

I heard he clicked his tongue, and he got more annoyed

"Ah there she is- oh, this time you are with Akashi-sama" I looked in front and it was Sayaka, with Rio "you were with Ukyo-san a while ago"

"Yeah, we were done talking, then this red-haired here came after. Where are you going?"

"We're going to get our stuffs then go to the dojo. Right, do you want more of the chocolate? I still have some left. Akashi-sama as well, please have some"

"Is there something wrong with your mouth, Seijurou-sama?" Rio curiously asked. Don't he dare say anything!

I turned to Akashi and he was just staring at the box of chocolate that only had 4 left inside.

"The chocolate you had?" He asked and I just nodded. "Then, I'm all good. The peach flavour still lingers in my tongue and I'm not very fond of it. I'll leave now"

And he left. Good thing he didn't say anything weird.

"I wonder what's wrong with him?" Rio again asked then looked at me

"I also don't know"

"(F/n), you..."

"Hmmm?" I looked at Sayaka and she was staring at me. But she smiled then shook her head "nothing, anyways, we'll get our stuffs. Why don't you get yours as well. Let's meet outside the building"

"Sure. I'll see you later" and I hurriedly went back to my room without knowing anything.

~

I got my stuffs and met up with the two, who were already grinning at me.

We were on our way to the dojo, and I couldn't stand what was wrong with these two. They were suddenly acting weird, so I confronted them

"Now spill it! What's with you two?!"

"(F/n)" the two called and made a teasing wide smile "you two already kissed, right?"

"Huh...?"

"You and Akashi-sama already kissed, right? A while ago, before we saw you two" Sayaka asked and followed by Rio, teasing me with her question that stunned me

"Furthermore, the kiss... was it french kiss? Neh, neh, was it?! Ahhh! Your face is so red! Was it an erotic kiss?!"

No... please... how did they know...?

I need to remember the sequence of what happened!

~TBC~
