Chapter14: Sorrow

The sun had long set as Kagami walked down the streets, still in her school P.E kit. So far, she had taken a train which wasn't headed home, and this had Hawks wondering just what he had gotten himself into by letting Taiyō blackmail him. It felt so, so wrong following her, knowing who she was.

Nonetheless, he did as he was told, but couldn't get on the same train because she would definitely notice him. So he flew to the next station, which was just barely out of town. He checked the time on his wristwatch; 08:35. Not late at all. He followed, watching closely as the girl walked for about twenty minutes until she slowly turned down the driveway to a cemetery.

"Sure, visit the cemetery all alone at night like a normal person.", he remarked, tone heavy with sarcasm. He had genuinely thought her acting like a weirdo was for show, just like other girls her age. Nonetheless, his chance of getting three consecutive free nights to himself relied on this unofficial and risky mission, he was willing to take his chances. His was to perch a safe enough distance away that he couldn't be seen.

Kagami made her way to a specific grave, immediately bringing out a bottle of water and began rinsing the gravestone.

Here lies a loving wife, mother, sister, friend, and daughter, Akiyama Ayai.

So it was probably her mother's grave then. Hawks took a moment to digest that notion. It was curious how she had come here alone and in secret. She didn't stay long, though, prompting Hawks to follow her through another train ride. This time she went to the rich neighbourhood that was her home, according to Taiyō, and made a call. Hawks stationed himself and waited as she sat down on the sidewalk and took out her leftover food. She ate for all of fifteen minutes until a young male showed up and she immediately got back up.

"Katsuki-kun? What are you doing here?", she asked incredulously. The male studied her, and then huffed.

"I should be asking you the same thing. Are you stalking me or something?", he asked, genuinly annoyed. At this, Hawks was positively put off. She did say she was meating a Katsuki, didn't she?

"I'm on my way to your house. We have movie night, remember?", Kagami asked. Katsuki scoffed, clearly not convinced.

"Yeah right, you never come for those even when you say you would. How do I know you're not just being your weird self out here?", he asked. Hawks's brows shot up at the mention of a movie night. He specifically remembered her saying she had to study with Katsuki. So Kagami was a chronic liar, no wonder her own brother was so careful with her.

"Whatever. How about you take my bag then and go ahead of me as assurance?", she said, picking up the bag and making to hand it over. Katsuki narrowed his eyes and huffed. Kagami smiled sweetly at him.

"No thanks. I geuss I'll see you later then.", the boy grumbled as he started walking away.

"Be sure to keep my seat warm!", Kagami called after him. The boy didn't respond, but Hawks heard him chuckle as he disappeared into the night. Kagami sighed and stretched, before looking around. Hawks pursed his lips as he heard someone approach the girl from nearby.

"Will you come out already? I have plans.", the girl said. Hawks' eyebrows immediately furrowed in suspicion. A short man immediately stepped into the edge of the light she stood under, eyeing her eagerly.

"What are you looking at like that?", she asked impatiently. The man laughed, causing the girl to fold her arms, unimpressed.

"Hey, I'm not looking for trouble. Just give me the money and I'll be gone.", he said.

Kagami took a step back, face raised as she assumed a haughty air. She smirked, eyeing the man up and down as she said, "The goods."

The man laughed, clearly not happy, but he brought out a large, brown envelope nonetheless. The girl snatched it and opened it quicker than he could react. Quickly, she studied the contents, taking a step back as the man made to snatch it back. Then, frustrated, he raised a hand as if to hit her. Hawks perked up, wondering if he should step in.
