A Painful Melody

Chapter 15- Blonde stalker

3rd person POV

"You would make a good wife Aya-"

"Yumi. Yumi is fine." Ayaha interrupted, heat rushing to her face. Akagawa chuckled in response.

"Uh, then.. Yumi-san." Shuichi rubbed his nape. Ayaha's face exploded into flames and Akagawa had to catch Ayaha from falling.

"This is weird, I've never called a girl by their name. It's always been Riga." Akagawa smirked at his claim.

"Get used to it." Akagawa began walking.

The trio was shopping, and at the supermarket Ayaha knew which foods were fresh and which ones were higher quality but cheaper. Not to mention, she knew the best places to find good ingredients. It made Shuichi and Akagawa's shopping trip a lot easier.

Akagawa looked at the cart, "Maybe we went overboard?" Shuichi shook his head no but Ayaha nodded yes.

With a swipe of a card, they were out of the super market. Shuichi held the bags, mainly because he wanted to and refused to let Ayaha and Akagawa hold any.

Akagawa hummed, "It's 5pm, Yumi-chan do you have a certain curfew?" The black haired girl shook her head.

"I live by myself. I don't really have one unless I want myself to get one." Akagawa hummed but decided not to pry.

Shuichi pointed to a restaurant, "Lets go take a break." Without a complaint, they went inside of the restaurant.

Shuichi put down the bags on a seat, "You girls can go order. I'll reserve the seat." Akagawa raised an eyebrow.

Then she saw a flash of a figure and understood, "We'll go to the bathroom first. You want fries right?" Shuichi nodded his head.

Akagawa grabbed Ayaha's wrist and headed into the girl's bathroom. After making sure there were no mics or people in the stalls, she locked the door. Ayaha tilted her head in confusion, "What?..."

"Someone was following us." Ayaha's eyes sharpened. She didn't like how people were after Akagawa for a stupid reason.

"Since when?" Akagawa shook her head. She didn't know, she only found out when Shuichi wanted to take a break. Shuichi never asked for breaks, even when Akagawa went on giant shopping sprees, he had the stamina to match Akagawa.

Ayaha frowned, "It probably won't be smart to lock ourselves in here though. If they get through the window then we'll be trapped. The restaurant is full of people anyway, they won't cause commotion with a bunch of people around right?" Akagawa shook her head.

"I hope not." She unlocked the door, and Ayaha followed after. When they went to the front, the shopping bags were still in the seats, but Shuichi was no were to be found.

Ayaha was about to say something, but Akagawa's eyes showed no worry. She didn't need to worry about Shuichi, he's strong enough to handle them. Ayaha slightly smiled, "T-Then, lets go order." She spoke trying to break the awkwardness.

"Of course, it's on me." Akagawa smiled.

"Who are you?" Shuichi pressed the blonde's face against the cement. This guy has been following them for almost an hour.

Shuichi glared, "Why are you following us?"

"It was an order ssu! I'm not going to hurt you guys ssu!" The blonde formed tears.

The silver haired male stood up and sighed, "By the way, do you want to try modeling ssu?" The blonde sat up and sat crisscrossed.

Shuichi shook his head, "No, it would bring unwanted attention. It will only hinder my duties." The blonde sulked.

"Well, I'm Kise Ryota ssu! I'm a model and part of the Kiseki no Sedai I was ordered by Akashicchi to follow a girl named Akagawa Harigae ssu." Shuichi scowled. It's that name again...

^-^-^

Akashi woke up on his desk with his head throbbing, "What?" He then remembered that he was trying to get answers from Akagawa.

His face flushed, ' She's extremely sly. Harigae is a threat. ' He thought to himself.

Akashi pulled out his phone and dialed a number, "Ryota, go to ****** mall and follow a girl with red hair. Her name is Akagawa Harigae."

' Ehh? But Akashicchi, it would make me seem like a stalker ssu! ' Kise's obnoxious voice made Akashi's head hurt.

"Are you defying me?" Akashi scowled. He got an immediate no, and Kise said he would do it.

^-^-^

"I shouldn't have accepted the modeling job in Kyoto, once I finished Akashicchi said to do something." Kise sulked.

Shuichi hummed, so Akashi forced this blonde to follow them. For what reason? Shuichi sighed, "DO you want to join us for a meal Kise-san? I'm pretty sure the girls have food already." Kise's golden orbs shimmered.

"But, you'll make me pay for it." Kise puffed. His middle school days were a good lesson. Since he made money, people usually made him buy things. Especially his old teammates...

"I won't. Besides, Riga is a big spender. She'll probably cover for you." Shuichi didn't care either way though. He turned his back and began to walk back to the restaurant.

Though when he came back, he saw that Ayaha and Akagawa were having some troubles. Three males were standing in front of the girls' table with grins spread on their face.

"How repulsive." Akagawa glared.

One of the males glared and grabbed her wrist, "Just because your hot, doesn't mean that you can be rude. You should just be a girl." The indecent look in his eyes made Akagawa sick.

"U-Uhm... please let go of her!" Ayaha raised her voice, which caught the attention of the other two males.

To them, Ayaha seemed more submissive and obedient. Her small figure and her cute appearance may have caused it. The assumed leader was with Akagawa and the other two was looking at Ayaha.

"No girl in their right mind will go with a bunch of dogs in heat, like you morons." Akagawa spoke, trying to get the other two's attention.

It worked, because the other two paid attention to Akagawa. The leader smirked, and said something about making a girl submissing was more entertaining. Akagawa rolled her eyes, "And if both of us are already taken?" She let the lie roll off her tongue.

She saw Shuichi in the corner of her eye, and sent a glance for him not to attack them but instead go protect Ayaha. Regretfully, the silver haired male bumped shoulders with one of the followers. The person he bumped into fell onto the floor and Shuichi wrapped his arm around Ayaha's waist.

"I'm sorry, but please put up with it for now." He whispered in Ayaha's ear. Akagawa wanted him to protect Ayaha, so he will take the role of a pretend boyfriend.

The three tched, the small one already had an attractive boyfriend. The leader clenched his fists, "I'll believe that she has one because he's right there, but where's yours?" He smirked.

Akagawa's figure flickered in his eyes until she was no longer in his grasp. She glared, "Sorry, but I don't plan on entertaining you losers." She sat down on the opposite of Ayaha and Shuichi.

"You-" The man raised his fist.

Kise kneed the guy in the face, and punched the other two, "Im sorry you three waited long! Did you miss me ssu?" Kise hugged Akagawa.

"You sure took your time." Shuichi let go of Ayaha's waist. The black haired girl slammed her heated face against the cold table.

The three guys left the restaurant in bitter moods, "I will thank you for aiding my story but who?..." Akagawa pushed the blonde away.

"He's Kise Ryota." Shuichi didn't need to say anymore because Akagawa caught his hint.

"Thanks for the help earlier, you can have this if you want." Akagawa pushed her portion of uneaten food towards Kise.

Kise smiled, "Thank you ssu!"
