Virtual Godmother (Akashi Seijuro x OC)

Chapter 9

It's been weeks after the Interhigh. Kise had told Shuha everything about Akashi calling him that night. However, she hadn't regain her courage to continue texting Akashi.

Shuha's life had been normal again. Her mother had fully recovered and is as fit as always. Her younger siblings were also acting normal, always argue on something so trivial. It made Shuha feels happy to have her happy family back. At the same time she also hoped to see the old Akashi again, like she had seen when she was in middle school.

She also had been told by Akira about what had happened that made Akashi turned into a bokushi. It made her felt more keen to help him now.

The Winter Cup preliminary had started. She was sure the Rakuzan High player were busy with training though the team is already qualified to Winter Cup since they won the Interhigh.

"Huh..." she sighed while walking back to home. The cellphone was in her hand. She was still debating with herself to text or not.

"Have courage, Shuha."

She had already typed the message she wanted to send to Akashi but she was still hadn't send it yet.

"Argh, curse myself!"

Akashi was observing his teammates training with Higuchi Shouta, the manager of Rakuzan High basketball team beside him. He was also observing his teammates while holding their training menu.

Shouta's focus was suddenly disturbed by the vibrating cellphone in his pocket. He excused himself quickly and went outside the gym after Akashi nodded as permission.

It was Shuha who called. He answered the call.

"Hello, Shu-chan. Why do you have to call me right now? Cant't you just text me like always? You know we have prac-"

"Yes, yes. I do understand that you're so damn busy though your school's victory is totally absolute. But please listen to your favourite cousin's cry,"

"Since when I said you're my favourite cousin?"

"You don't love me?!!"

"Don't shout! Just what do you want? And please hurry up,"

"Hehe... Is Akashi with you?"

"He's in the gym. And is that all you want to ask?"

"No! I just want make sure of something. Erm... Do you think he hates me?"

"Oh, about that. Well, it's hard to understand him though so, I have no idea,"

"Not even a slight?"

"Not even- Look, if you want to continue sending him messages, go ahead. Just see it for yourself. Because the Shuha that I know always know what is best to do."

It was silent for awhile. Shuha was slightly touched by her cousin's words.

"Okay. Thank you, Shou-kun. I knew calling you first is the best choice. TE-HE! Bye! Love you~!"

Shuha ended the call. Shouta sighed at his cousin attitude. He smiled at that.

Shuha only acts flambouyant when she is around him. Both of them had been very close since their age are not that apart. Many secrets were shared between them. Whenever there's a family gathering, Shuha would look for him first. That's how close they are. Shouta felt really happy around her.

"I would date you if you're not my cousin, Shu-chan..."

The basketball training was over. The Rakuzan basketball players went to changing room to change clothes and some were only collecting their things to go straight to home. Meanwhile Akashi, he decided to stay back to practice his Ankle Breaking technique.

He checked his phone before continuing his personal training.

There was a message.

From Kougami.

Akashi read the message:

Hello, Akashi Seijuro. Sorry if I'm bothering you again.

My name is Kougami Shuha, the one who had been sending you nonsense messages all these day. I just want to apologies for bothering you. Please don't hate me. I just want to see you smile again...

Jaa ne... And thank you 😄.

He done reading it. Unvoluntarily, the both side of tips of his lips stretched upward a bit. He was smilling. He felt a bit, a bit happy that she's texting him again. Though it was not as his so-called Godmother, at least he still could keep in touch with her.

But she was apologising. What if she didn't intent to send him any more message? No, he wanted her to continue 'bothering' him.

Maybe he should reply her message so she wouldn't stop.

Hoho... So will Akashi reply her message? Te-He xD
