-Mana P.O.V-

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYOTA/KISE/KISE-KUN!!!", we shouted at the same time. "Thanks!", Ryota cried in happiness. We stayed in the hotel that Ryota book for us. Ryota blowed the birthday candle in happiness, I'm glad he likes it. Ryota only invite few of his friend, Daiki, Taiga, Satsuki, Michigo, Hatsuki, Midorima, Murasakibara, Tetsuya, and Takao (yep few).

Everyone gave their present to Ryota. I should give one too...

"Here...", I throwed him a cross shaped necklace.

"Manacchi...thank you so much!!", he abruptly kissed my cheek.

"R-Ryota! Mind your ma-manners!!", I yelled in embarassment.

"Oii Kise, if Akashi know this, he might kill you", Daiki tease him.

"Why would Seijuro do that? He never once called me...", I frowned.

The atmosphere turn heavy. Seijuro never contact any of us...as if he never even remember us. "Since it's Kise-kun birthday party, let's drink some sake!!", Michigo cheered.

"Oh no you won't!!", Midorima steal the sakes from Michigo grasped.

"Give them back Shin-chan!!", Michigo yelled.

"Settle down will ya?", Taiga sighed.

"SAKE! SAKE! SAKEEE!!!", the woman practically yelled asking Midorima to return the sake.

"How bothersome", I shook my head.

"HEAR ME SINGING!!!", Michigo jumped on the bed like a lunatic. "TWINKLE-TWINKLE LITTLE STARS!! HOW I WONDER WHAT YOU ARE!!!", Satsuki, Michigo, and Hatsuki chorused drunkly. "Rika!", Midorima scolded her. "URUSAI FOUR EYES!!", Michigo sticked her tongue out. Midorima pushed her on the bed, "Stand still", Midorima smirked.

"Awkward...", I gulped.

"Umm...Shin-chan...", Takao sweatdropped.

Midorima blushed bright red, suddenly Michigo pulled him to a kiss.

"Uh...oh...", I sweatdropped.

"Hey! Get your own room for goodness sakes!!", Daiki complained.

"It looks nice...", Murasakibara munched his pocky.

"I'm out", I sighed desperately.

"NO!! WAIT!!!", a hand clinging to my waist.

"What the-".

Ryota clinging to me drunkly, "MANACCHI!! I LOVE YOU! DON'T LEAVE ME!!!".

"This sort of remind me...when I was drunk...and I asked Seijuro what happened...".

-Flashback-

"Hey Akashi", I poke his jacket.

"What?", he asked annoyed.

"My maids said that I'm drunk yesterday, thank you for carrying me home...I'm sorry to bother you...I'm heavy, am I?", I blushed.

"Yes, you are indeed HEAVY", he emphasize the word 'heavy'.

"Meanie...", I mumbled quietly.

"I heard that", Akashi sighed.

"Did I...say weird things to you?", I blushed.

"...Sort of", he stuttered.

"Like what?", I asked curiously.

"Many things...", he blushed.

"Now I'm worried!!!", I panicked.

"Did I say something weird!?", I yelled.

"Yes...but there are some things too...", he stuttered.

"Huh?".

"It's a secret", he smirked slyly.

The room reek of alcohol, I decided to take a breather outside the room. "Yo, Mana", Taiga tapped my shoulder. "Taiga? What are you doing?", I asked. "The same as you, I guess", Taiga grinned. "I put Ryota on the bed earlier...he's heavy and reek of alcohol", I complained. "Just let them be for a while Mana, they just want to refresh themselves from work", Taiga calmed me down.

"That's true but...does it have to be 'alcohol stuff'?...", I frowned.

"MANACCHI!!! WHERE ARE YOU!?", Ryota yelled from inside. "Taiga, please take care of him", I shook my head in disbelief. "H-Hey, what are you-". "I'm counting on you", I tapped Taiga shoulder then escape.

"MAANAAA!!", I could hear Taiga yell. from afar.

*  *  *

I escaped to the lobby, it looks like Taiga didn't chase me.

"Phew, that's a relieve", I smiled.

Just when I walked, I bumped someone shoulder, it was a man shoulder he walked toward the exit.

"I apologize", I bowed.

"Oh no, it's alright", a hoarse voice replied.

"That voice...", I look up to see his face.

A certain redhead emperor, he wear a black suit with red shirt underneath it.

"Young master, your next schedule! We must hurry!", his servant remind him.

I was too shocked to say anything. "Yes I know, the next meeting will start twenty minutes from now", he replied nonchalantly.

"Seijuro...", I cried in happiness.

But he ignore me completely and walked hurriedly. "SEIJU-". A man with dark suit and black glasses startle me, he grabbed my arm roughly. "Young master is not allowed to meet anyone", the man spoke harshly.

"SEI!", I struggled.

He already went outside, he didn't hear my voice.

"What's the meaning of this?", I widened my eyes in horror.

"SEIJUROO!!!", I yelled.

-Akashi P.O.V-

"Did someone just called me?", I examined my surroundings.

"Young master? What's the matter?", my driver asked.

"Hmm...it must be my imagination...", I sighed.

"It's nothing, we have to hurry".
