"That day?".

"Just look at you", Akashi giggled.

"What?", I asked.

"Your face looks stupid", Akashi chuckled.

"Hey!!", I relent.

"Anyway what happens with your cheek?", he caressed my swelling cheeks.

"Oh this? I fell", I lied.

"That swelling is not caused by that", Akashi perceive as he see my swelling cheek.

"Fine...so what do you think?", I gulped.

"It cause by someone...did someone punched you?", Akashi asked.

"Daiki did...", I sweatdropped.

"Is it Daiki?", Akashi scowled.

"This guy is a freaking mind reader", I glared.

"Yes...", I answered truthfully, Akashi frowned as he hear this. "Please don't mad at him, he didn't do anything wrong". "Alright", Akashi pat my head gently. "Thank you...", I smiled.

"Now we better do something about that swollen cheek of yours", Akashi frowned. "No, it's fine...really", I blushed. "Sit", he ordered.

"Fine".

He treat my swollen cheek with a bag of ice.

"Don't fret", Akashi ordered.

Today is Sunday, tomorrow Rakuzan will face Shuutoku. I've been thinking to repay Akashi kindness to me. "Hmm...what should I do?", I muttered to myself. Maybe I should ask the others for advice...

"Michigo, how can I repay someone kindness?"

-Mana-

I texted him..I hope she replied quickly. My cellphone ringing.

"How about food? Like bento or lunch? Have you tried making one?".

-Michigo-

That's right...food, might be good.

-Akashi P.O.V-

"Young master! There's a phone call!", my servant called me.

"Who?", I sighed. "I believe it's Mayoi-dono".

"Who?", I widened my eyes.

I rushed toward the living room, "What is it Mana?". "Ah, Akashi...err well...", she stuttered. I chuckled, "Its alright, tell me". "I want to...uhmm...invite you to my house...at dinner, 7 P.M", she looks nervous. "That's unusual for you to invite me", I smirked. "Is fried rice alright for dinner?", she asked nervously.

"I'm alright with anything you cook, actually...".

"I'm fine with that", I nodded.

"Th-That's all I want to say!!", she bursted in embarassment then hung up the phone.

"How unusual, might as well looking forward to it", I chuckled.

-Mana P.O.V-

I decided to asked Taiga for help, he's really good at cooking. He came with two uninvited visitor. "Manacchi!", Ryota bear hugged me. "Nice to see you again", Tetsuya formed a smile. I glared to Taiga.

"Hey, it's not my fault", Taiga snorted.

"Fine then, Tetsuya and Ryota will be the dish taster".
