Aria's Temporary Freedom (Part 2)

You must be prepared for the worst case scenario because harsh reality strikes without warning. -Hunter x Hunter

I need to mourn in advance. I'm feeling that Seirin will lose. Fujimaki-sensei, you sly fox! You're making me ride an emotional roller-coaster since I started reading the Finals arc. *Cries like a little kid*

All members of Rakuzan are in the Zone. No, that's not scary at all. Not at all. *nervously bites lips as I wait for the end of the arc* Now that everyone is entering the Zone... Kuroko! It's your time to shine and Kagami, it's been weeks and you still can't break that damn door.

PS. Calling all the strongest anime characters I know. Shizuo? Gray? Sousuke? Sebastian? We need to break that damned second door.

Reality, or in this case, fiction sucks.

That was what Aria thought when she realized that Akashi had no plans on taking her back. He had made no effort to contact her in any way possible. Unlike Akashi, Aria had fought the urge to make a move to come back to him.

She was being prideful but what choice does she have left? Akashi's overly possessiveness was strangling her that she made the desicion to have some fresh air.

As soon as spring comes, she'll be in a new university and she'll only get to see Akashi at their home. She'll finally be free from Akashi's grasp. But she still needs to come back to him. She wanted to but her pride had kept her from doing that.

It was hard being away from. It's almost a week and she can't even live normally. She'll be unconsciously doing what she usually did back when she and Akashi were living together.

She was so used to his company that she can't live without him. Geez, what do you expect? They were always together since day 1 back at the training camp so you can't blame her if she misses him.

She missed the way his bangs that would cover his eyes most of the time. She missed the way he would glare at him whenever she annoys him. She missed how he would just hug her like there was no tomorrow. She missed waking up to Akashi's small kisses. She missed his smart-ass replied and his know-it-all ways.  But most of all, Aria missed him. So much that it hurts.

She can't stand up without him with her. He was always there, guiding her with every step of the way. With him suddenly out of the picture... it was an extreme loss on her part.

Aria held the can of Coke tightly in her hand as she watched the tennis players go back and forth to hit the ball sent to them. She should be having fun and enjoying her freedom. So why is she still thinking about that redhead anyways?

She'd been doing that since this morning. Eversince she found this place three days ago, she started visiting this usually. It was a new environment and Aria liked it.

It was very different from basketball. She was getting interested and she sometimes help her newly-found friends in improving their skills. She is still a trainer, after all. Besides, she loves these boys' company. They were like the brothers she never had eventhough they can be a smart-ass sometimes.

"Torres-san, are you sure you don't want to play anymore?" Chotaro asked. She's been very close to Chotaro lately. He was like the younger brother that Aria never had eventhough her older brother back in her world had acted like the younger one.

Aria shook her head. "You should. You're not flexible enough." She replied with a smile, much to Chotaro's shock.

"H-How did you know that?" He queried with wide eyes as he gawked at her.
