A Painful Melody

Chapter 8- Matches begun

3rd person POV

Akagawa scrunched her eyebrows, "This roller coaster isn't planning on ending anytime soon isn't it?" Shuichi chuckled lightly.

"With you, it won't end till you meet the reaper." The male was responded with a glare by both a red head and a black haired girl. Akagawa threw her bag at the silver haired male, which he easily intercepted and caught.

Akagawa pulled Shuichi's collar and pulled him to when they were just inches apart, "I will seriously paralyze you." She blinked only one eye and those orbs stared into his blue ones.

Gasps were heard in the classroom, and before they could notice Akagawa blinked once more to hide that eye. No one saw her eyes, except two people. Everyone in the classroom only gasped and were surprised by how close Akagawa and Shuichi were.

"Hari-chan, you're attracting a lot of attention." Ayaha softly whispered to the pair that stood out like a sore thumb. It's not like they could blend anyway. This school didn't have many colored haired people.

In fact, only Akashi and Akagawa had strange colored hair. Shuichi was considered to be part of their hair group, but he wasn't necessarily a color...

"Anyway... before things got out of hand, I said that in gym you all will have to take mini physicals. You won't have to be required to do the push ups and sit ups, but you are required to play." The teacher spoke m, Akagawa glanced at Shuichi.

He did the same, "I'll meet you on court." Akagawa mumbled softly, but loud enough for Shuichi to hear. Shuichi smirked, "Of course."

"Here's a quick explanation, since we don't have enough time to go through every person and get their stats. We are just going to have basketball games." The female coach spoke.

"Basketball?!" Akagawa's black orbs widened.

Ayaha nodded, "Rakuzan is famous for their basketball team after all." Akagawa felt like she wanted to punch herself in the face.

Was it too late to transfer? After all, it was only her first week of school. She transferred last week. It's not too late to back out right?...

"The same will be for the boys. The game ends when someone gets 10 or more points. The best male player will go against the top female player for some fun." The male coach blew his whistle.

Shuichi mouthed, ' You better not lose to anyone but me. ' Akagawa sighed, and Ayaha turned her head hearing the long sigh. The red head merely patted Ayaha's head, "Its not something you need to worry about. Though, keep in mind that I'm really competitive." Akagawa stressed the really in her sentence.

Ayaha understood immediately, "If we get matched up, I will go all out. Even if it is you, Hari-san." A determined glint shone in Ayaha's green orbs.

Akagawa felt a the corners of her mouth go up slightly, "I shall return those words back at you."

Akagawa tied her hair up in a high ponytail, and took a deep breath in and exhaled. She met up with Shuichi, who also was ready for the matches. Shuichi had his sleeves rolled up, revealing his well toned arms.

Ayaha followed Akagawa a little after, so when she saw Shuichi's biceps she almost fainted. She was caught in those strong arms though, "Hey, don't get weak now. You still have your matches." Ayaha gulped.

"You're the reason she's like that." Akagawa fixed Shuichi's sleeves. Ayaha snapped out of her trance and hid behind Akagawa, "I know what you mean by Shuichi-san shouldn't be underestimated now." She mumbled.
