A Painful Melody

Chapter 5- Surprise

3rd person POV

Ayaha pressed the triangle in a panic and Akagawa laughed at how much she was trying. The timer was over and 2 people chose the square, 1 person chose the triangle, none chose the diamond and the rest chose circle.

Ayaha and Akagawa being the triangle, got the points while everyone else got the question wrong. Ayaha smiled at Akagawa and the red haired girl did the same back. Those two certainly got closer and Ayaha has been giving small but fulfilling hints. Akagawa knew she wasn't ready to talk about it bluntly, but her actions basically told it all.

Though in that same respected, Akagawa was just the same. There were somethings that should stay hidden from people. Things that shouldn't be revealed. Information that could put people in danger.

"Okay, since Ayaha-san and Akagawa-san won the kahoot game they get the 10 extra points on the test." The teacher glanced at Akagawa. The transfer student certainly imprinted on her teachers.

With that finishing, the students had the rest of the time period as study hall...

"Thank you!" Ayaha hugged Akagawa, but once she realized what she was doing Ayaha let go. She smiled nervously and apologized.

"It's okay! You were just excited!" Ayaha was surprised by Akagawa's return hug.

"This is such a surprise though, Ayaha-san was smiling, laughing, and even hugged her."

"Is that the same Ayaha-san we know?"

Ayaha heard what they were starting to say and began to sulk into despair, she knew the day was going too well to be true. Ayaha completely forgot about everything when she was with Akagawa, being around her made Ayaha comfortable. Even though they did meet this morning.

"Please refrain from talking about a person, when they are standing in front of you. It's disgraceful and rude." Ayaha saw a flash of red and the next THING she knew Akagawa was standing in front of Ayaha with her hand out as if Akagawa was guarding her.

Akagawa's black eyes had a deadly glint in them, warning the classmates that if they said anymore then pain will be inflicted upon them. Cowering in fear and admiration, the classmates scattered in the classroom and dropped the subject.

The authority laced in Akagawa's voice when she was sticking up for Ayaha reminded both Ayaha and the classmates of Akashi. Though the only difference was that they know that Akagawa has a soothing voice that turned intimidating when angered. They've only heard Akashi's intimidating voice.

Akashi, himself was in the room as well. Despite Akagawa having the same voice as his mother, when she got mad it didn't sound like his mother at all. It's probably because Akashi has truly never had his mother yell but she wasn't really yelling either.

Akashi sighed in relief, there was one thing that he held dearly. One thing that couldn't be re-written by Akagawa. Akagawa laughter broke him out of his thoughts, "Yumi-chan, he's free you know." She winked.

Ayaha's face darkened, "I'm telling you! It's not like that!" She lightly punched Akagawa's back. Though the result only made the red haired female laugh even more.

"I know, I'm just messing around with you." Akagawa's face brightened when she saw Shuichi at her classroom door. She jumped up from her seat and went to greet the silver haired male.

Ayaha also went to greet him, but not as enthusiastic as Akagawa. Shuichi merely smiled at both of them, "Riga-sama, ready to go?" He walked through the door and went to grab Akagawa's bag.

Akagawa looked towards Ayaha, "Do you mind if we go home together?" The black haired girl happily grabbed her back and walked out with the two.

Before Akagawa left the classroom, she sent a side glance towards the other red head, "Good day, Akashi-san." He scowled.

"Why does Akashi-san hate you?" Ayaha brought up. They were walking side by side and Akagawa was in the middle with Shuichi on her right and Ayaha on her left.

Shuichi was closest to the street and was always on guard. He was Akagawa's body guard after all. Akagawa sighed, "I truly don't understand myself, the only thing I can conclude to is that I'm just a hateful person."

"Riga-sama." Shuichi's blue orbs stared warningly at Akagawa. She isn't a horrible person, both Shuichi and now Ayaha knew that.

"You aren't hateful!" Ayaha tried to cheer Akagawa up.

"Thanks." The red head smiled.

Though within a moment, Shuichi pulled out a gun and shot the tires of a car. The car began to spin dangerously and he pulled Akagawa and Ayaha to the right. The car smashed into the building beside them and Shuichi's blue orbs began to shake.

"Riga! Go now!" He didn't even bother with the -sama at the end.

Akagawa grabbed her bag that was on the concrete, and grabbed Ayaha's hand in her other. The black haired girl frowned, "What?.." her green orbs scanned the area.

Three men that were in the car, stepped out. They were firmly built and intimidatingly tall. The black suits screamed danger to Akagawa. The men spotted Akagawa's red hair and pointed.

Akagawa tched, "Yumi-chan! Let's run!! I'll explain on the way!" She pulled the small girl along.

Ayaha knew something was up. Akagawa and Shuichi were calm and smiling earlier. Now, Shuichi was extremely intimidating and Akagawa's hand trembled in... Fear? Rage? Annoyance?

Ayaha couldn't figure out how Akagawa was feeling. This red haired girl was indeed...

Full of mysteries.
