The past two weeks was again, a very hectic days for Akihito. After he left Asami's penthouse early that day, they haven't seen each other since then. He left the man still sleeping and headed to work. The location was in Kanagawa and informing Asami about it completely slip out of his mind. The Kamakura Festival was in full swing that they took advantage of and use for their shoot. This time, Sudou and Akihito were both commissioned for the job.

As usual, Sudou's giving everybody a headache again. Even Mr. Narumiya was having enough. The usual cool tempered photographer was now seething.

"Sudou, I told you a thousandth times not to do any unnecessary movements!" Mr. Narumiya call out for Sudou.

"But I'm doing just that Narumiya-san." Sudou answered. Obviously pouting.

The concept was to make them looked like and blend in with the tourists, enjoying the festival. With other people around them, talking ang laughing. But Sudou keeps on posing and looking at the camera, that it appears unnatural. He clearly wanted to have the limelight on him, which is really not needed at the moment. Or probably he just wants to annoy Akihito, because the photographer always praising him like he was doing good, acting natural and being carefree like how it was supposed to be.

Akihito also had enough as he pitied the photographer. Explaining again, how the clients wants it, to Sudou.

Everybody's tired and it's their last day shoot so everyone's looking forward ahead to finish soon.

"Sudou, if you can't act professional, why are you even here? You're clearly wasting everybody's time. Whatever beef you have with me, can you at least forget that while we're on the job?" Akihito speaks rather loudly that stops all the bickering. He was looking sharply at Sudou, daring.

Sudou did not give any response as he gave Akihito a pointed look and walked away to retouched his make up. Akihito did the same as they proceeded to continue the shoot. Mr. Narumiya gave him a thankful nod. Even the other crews were offering him a grateful smile.

The shoot ended, without any problem after that. Sudou was actually good with his job, without his usual whiny-like-a-pre-schooler mode or a kid having a tantrum.

Akihito changed his clothes as everybody else's packed up. Today is the last day of the festival and work so everyone agrees to visit the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu shrine before they all went back to Tokyo. He prepared his bag and is about to sling it on his shoulder when a voice stopped him.

"Acting like a big shot again today huh?" Sudou said leaning on the door, arms crossed.

Akihito looked at him and released a sigh.

"What do you want?" Akihito asked him exasperated.

"Feeling good from humiliating me back there? Still playing the good guy just because Narumiya-san always have your back." Sudou's clearly mad, but Akihito didn't care.

"I feel good because the job's done. Feel free to upstage me now to your hearts content. If you want to pick a fight, observe proper place and time for that. Now, if you'll excuse me." Akihito, annoyed again, just walked past him, joined and walked together with the other staff. It's better to avoid the guy than losing his temper with the nonsense fights.

Sudou's getting out of hand lately. It was also a good thing that the guy decided to went on ahead back to Tokyo instead of coming with them to the shrine. He can't really trust himself not to lose it if Sudou provoke him further. His patience with the guy was also wearing thin.

As Akihito and the others walked along the busy streets with carts of different delicacies and souvenir shops on the roadside, he happily took pictures of the people around having a good time and the colourful decorations. Unlike the time with the moon, this time his using his DSLR camera to take pictures. Random things that caught his eyes.
