Protection Not Needed

Two weeks before departure

Chapter 19- A.C.T

    “You have two weeks before your departure to Australia. Cherish that time as much as you can .” was what daddy told me.

    I ate breakfast, took a shower, get ready to school, just like a normal high-schooler. Usually, at times like this, I’d probably be in a mission, chasing someone and fighting and stuffs. But ever since being Akashi’s bodyguard, I felt that daddy had given me much more free time.

    “I don’t understand why you have to sneak in my house last night and make this house like your own .”

    I turned my head and grinned when I saw Akashi behind me. “Heh! It’s obvious isn’t it? I have to cherish my time before my departure! And you’re my only companion who don’t give a damn about my craziness ,” I answered and started wearing my shoes. “Tetsu is cute but his face is so blank and if I approached him too much, Tsuki would get jealous .”

    “Fine, do whatever you want. You still have to help me with my work. The festival is coming. And since there will be no study time in school, I bet you don’t have a reason to escape the works .” he said and walked off.

    “You’re always like that !” I pouted and caught up with him and we walked to the school together.

    Akashi had gone to the basketball court to help his teammates with something. Talking about teammates, I haven’t seen Kise, Aomine, Midorima, Murasakibara and Tetsu for a while. I missed them a lot.

    I am in Akashi’s personal president’s room, leaning against his chair, arranging the stack of papers on the desk when a knock came on the door. It was Miuki Izura.

    “Izura! Hey, how are you ?” I asked. She looked confused for a moment when I called her by her first name before answering my question.

    “I’m fine, thank you. How about you, Hisashi-san ?” she replied with a small voice.

    “Wait, we’re friends now so no need the formality. I don’t want to be called by my family’s name and I don’t want any –san to be added. –chan or something of that sort might be good too .” I smiled.

    She giggled. “You’re so weird ,” and tilted her head. “Fine then, I’ll call you Ryuuki from now on .”

    “That’s fine ,” I said and started to spin around on the chair. “So what’s bringing you here ?”

    “Some clubs need help and I thought you can do it so ....”

    I stood from the chair. “So let’s go help people! I’m tired doing paperwork all the time !”

    First, I helped the calligraphy club. Then the aikido club. Next is the Kendo club and et cetera.

    I stretched my arm as Izura and I walked back to Akashi’s room together. “You’ve been a great help Ryuuki! I’m glad you moved here !” she spoke.

    “Me too. But I’ll be leaving Japan soon. To Australia .” I replied.

    “Ehh?! Why all of a sudden ?!” she asked.

    “You could say.... I’m going to further my studies there .”

    “Really? How about president then ?” she was indicating to Akashi.

    “What? What does that got to do with him ?” I asked.

    She turned to look at me. “Eh?! I thought you two were dating!!?? You aren’t?! But all of us thought so !”
