The Real Empress ( Akashi Seijuro x OC )

The Emperor's Eye

Yukki arrived at the gym.

There was not anybody, so she had to wait. Because she was bored, she looked around the hall and there was shelves with basketball's balls. She picked up one of them and went near the basket. She tried to shoot... and failed miserably. She tried it again and again but her form and whole technique of shooting was off.

The red haired boy went in. He stared at her hopeless tries. Akashi started to chuckle, when she angrily stamped on. She was adorable like an imp from a box.

She has given up and went to put the ball on its right place when she has noticed Akashi.

" Oh, Akashi-san! I did not know, you were there." she stated and she has felt her cheeks redened. He had to see her angry self. Yukki was really embarrassed.

" I have just come." he lied.

" I appreciate your try to hide the obvious thing. You saw me, I apologize for my weak moment. I could not contain myself not to be angry and I do, know that it is bad to work off my anger on things." Yukki looked away.

Akashi smirked. " Hm yeah that is right. You deserve a punishment."

Yukki's eyes widened. But she tilted her head. She was really ashamed. " Yes, I know. What might be my punishment?"

" Well, I am going this saturday to the mall and I need a new basketball shoes, so you will accompany me." Akashi decided.

Yukki looked at him confused. " It is not a punishment, Akashi-san. That sounds like a fine afternoon to me."

" Would you prefer me to hang you by your thumb in this gym?" he seriously asked but with a small smile.

Yukki giggled.

"So it is settled. I will pick you up at your house at two o'clock pm. Do not be late. I hate waiting." he warned. "I am going to change. Wait there."

Yukki sat down on the bench.

In a few minutes other members of the club arrived at the gym and went straight to the locker-room.

Yukki patiently waited.

When boys came back, they went to her.

" Today firstly, we will warm up, then do our individual training. Everybody knows what to do! And lastly we will have match against each other. One-on-one!" Akashi said to them with bossy tone. He then turned at Yukki.

She sat straight and stared at him, waiting for his speech, he was about to give her, but he did not have the chance. Boys were glaring at them and they have not moved. He turned again towards boys.

" Are you deaf?" he asked.

" Eeh? No!" they shouted in chorus.

"What did you say?" Akashi was clearly pissed.

" But Sei-chan. It is unfair. We are going to train like lunatics and you will be flirting with our cute Manager-chan!!! I will not allow you that, Sei-chan." Reo whined and Hayama nodded eagerly.

" Are you opposing me, mortals?"

Their eyes widened with fear, their legs shaked and they felt like they were from jelly.

" Akashi-san." The quiet voice of Yukki went through the whole gym. She smiled at him and put her hand on his shoulder. He wanted to glared at her, but he could not. In her gaze, there were the power of her highness, the real Empress, her natural charm, beaty and a lot of intelligence. She was hiding her leading ability. She was calm and fearless.

Yukki stared into his eyes without flinch. Akashi'eyes widened. He was slowly calming himself even if he did not want to let them slip away without any sentence.
