Protection Not Needed

Tears of guiltiness

Chapter 10- A.C.T

"It's annoying ." he continued. I cleared my throat.

"I know it's annoying but you have to be sa—"

He closed the door. I clenched my fists. I don't know what to say anymore but this guy is so irritating. I raised my hand to knock on the door then I remembered something. A smirk formed on my face.

Akashi's POV

She was knocking on the door non-stop and after taking a shower, I opened the door. She kept saying about safety, keeping me safe. I'm already safe so I don't need it. Having a bodyguard is just so annoying. And that's why I requested to not have any servants, butlers or maids. I'll do it all myself.

Then my phone vibrated. Unknown number.

"Akashi's speaking ." I answered the call.

"U-um, Akashi-kun, this is Nakamura calling from Student Council ." a female voice said. I sat on my bed.

"Hmm? What business do you have with me ?"

"About the school festival that is coming soon. We collected all the information and stuffs. And, em, err, since the Vice President is away..."

"I know. I'll handle the application form ."

"Thank you very much ."

"Just to make sure. I'll have to print it first right ?"

"Yes. Since the application form were filled online ."

"Got it ." and I cut off the call. I went to my study desk and turned on my laptop. I printed out all application forms for performances, stalls and others which is 289 forms in total. The rain started to fall. I looked out of the window. I wonder if she already left. Or still in front of the door.

Then I heard the door being opened. Father? But at times like this, he would be busy at home. So... who's that? I stayed still on my chair. And as expected, my bedroom door opened.

"Akashi Seijuurou. Now that I'm here, you'll have to hear my lectures about being courteous to girls! How could you leave me in front of your house like that!? You should've let me in! Now I'm drenched !"

I sighed then looked at the annoying spy. "How did you get in ?" I asked.

"How else? Your father told me your door code, obviously ." she answered, putting her bag pack and katana on my bed. "I'm gonna use your bathroom for a while ." she continued and went inside my bathroom.

This girl... she's so troublesome. I turned my head to the pile of papers and books on my desk. I still haven't finish my homework though. After a while, she got out of the bathroom and went downstairs.

"Akashi! Aren't you hungry ?" she called from the kitchen. Too lazy to shout back, I went to her.

"No I'm not hungry ." I answered and searched for some books at the shelf.

"Allow me to cook !" she grinned and went inside the kitchen. I glanced at her once a while. I wonder if she can really cook. She doesn't look like someone who can cook. Right after I thought about that...

"Err, I sort of need a fireman right now !" she shouted from the kitchen. I went inside and saw the big fire on the stove.

Ryuuki's POV

I looked at him as he bandaged my swollen foot. "Sorry ." I muttered. He didn't looked up, perhaps he's angry.

"Why are you apologizing ?" he asked.

"For burning half of your kitchen, for trespassing your house and for having you to bandage my foot. It is always you who bandage my wound ." I lowered my head a bit and lowered my voice.

He gently slapped my foot after finished bandaging and looked up at me. "Hey, it's okay ." he smiled. I felt so guilty. I troubled him a lot but he still smiled at me. I held back my tears. He stared at me. I bit my lower lips then closed his eyes with both of my hands.

"Don't look ." I said. He giggled. I sniffed. He wanted to remove my hands. "Don't !" I warned. He stopped, his hands on mine. The tears won't stop flowing.

"I've seen you cry by the way so why are you stopping me ?" he asked.

"This is... the tears... of guiltiness..." I sniffed again. He held back his laugh. "Don't laugh !"

"Okay okay .." he said.

Akashi's POV

Her cold hands closed my eyes. She's crying because she felt guilty? How—what is she thinking? I wanted to laugh. Such a weirdo. Although burning half of kitchen is not such a big deal. Then her hand loosened a bit. I removed her hands. She looked away, her eyes and nose red.

"As a punishment ..." I spoke. She glanced at me and I dragged her to my room. I forced her to sit on my chair. She looked at me. I pointed to the application forms.

"Check all these, write their names and the performances here on this sheet," I took out a white A4 paper out from the drawer and put on the desk. "That's all. Good luck ." I patted her shoulder and walked out of the room to the library room next door to do my homework.

Normal POV

Scene : KuroHana Assassination Organization.

Storm held his breath as the bodyguards ran past him. He was hiding behind a huge pile of boxes. Blizzard had already gone out first while Storm is still in the building. He was a bit late as the bodyguards realized that they were invaded. Storm ran away and stopped in front of an office as he heard someone talking.

"What about Ruka ?" a rough male voice questioned.

"I know nothing about her. And she's not involved in this ." Storm frowned as he heard Kazuki's voice.

"Oi Storm !" Storm flinched as Blizzard's voice echoed from the earplug plugged in his ear that connects him to Blizzard. He frowned and ran out of the building.

Akashi's POV

I yawned as I closed the book. At last, my home works finished. I leaned against the chair. Closing my eyes, I remembered her. Silently, I opened the bedroom door. She was there, head on the table, sleeping soundly, a black pen on her right hand. The papers were arranged neatly. I went closer.

Oh. She finished it. Smiling, i took the pen from her hand. On the second thought, maybe having a bodyguard that can do my work is also convenient.

/(^o^)\

Normal POV

Kazuki leaned against his chair as the man in front of him began to talk.

"Why did you betray us KuroHana 11 years ago? I demand an explanation, agent CX007, Kazuki Phantomshield ." the man, who called himself Hunter is the president of KuroHana Assassination Organization.

"And if I won't ?" Kazuki asked.

"Then we'll have to kidnap that pink-haired hacker from A.C.T and make you tell us ." Hunter answered.

Kazuki gritted his teeth. "Ruka has nothing to do with you bastards !"

"There, you love her so much don't you ?" Hunter smirked.

"Shut up !"

"Now tell me ."

Kazuki cursed while Hunter smiled in satisfaction.
