Guess who's back, back again~!

Hi. I'm back from holiday. It was hot, it was fun, and I met a girl who had the same voice as I do which was very creepy and awesome.

Anyway, onto the story!

Accidental Reverse Arc 2

  ~'0'~  

The residents of Kogarashi Manor are in for an eventful – and quite shocking – evening. The cause for this shock is none other than their landlady and the young Raimon student, who are more like brother and sister than distant relatives.

The members of the Akizora Challengers team, otherwise known as the residents of Kogarashi Manor, are making their way outside the house in order to train for their match tomorrow, when the door of the large manor slams open and Matsukaze Tenma comes storming out.

To see the youngest member of their household so angry is definitely a shock – usually the young brunet is very kind and cheerful. What is even more stunning, however, is when a furious Kino Aki follows him out of the door. ''Absolutely not!''

The brunet turns around and, to everyone's shock, glares at his sister-figure. ''You are not my guardian! You can't stop me! With or without you, I'm going to do this!'' he yells.

The landlady returns the glare with one of her own, her usually pretty smiling face set in a scowl. ''You are thirteen years old, Tenma! I might not be your official guardian but I can certainly stop you!'' she rants. ''You've been very reckless lately and I've reluctantly let you do your own thing, but this goes too far! I won't allow it!''

Tenma grits his teeth in frustration. ''Aki-nee, I know what I'm doing! I don't care if you don't allow it, I'm going to do this! I told before and I'll tell you again, you can't stop me!'' since he is facing the house, he doesn't notice the three new arrivals.

Aki doesn't notice them either, too caught up in her anger and worry. ''I will call your parents if I have to,'' she threatens and his glowing blue eyes narrow. ''Don't give me that look, young man! Your parents have entrusted your wellbeing to me and if I allow you to go through with this insane idea, I will be putting you at risk! If forcing you to go back to Okinawa means that your safety is ensured, I will gladly do-''

She's cut off by someone coughing. The landlady blinks, for the first time taking in her surroundings, and flushes when she catches sight of both the Akizora Challengers and Kogure, Kidou and Endou watching the fight with her young relative. ''Oh... h-how long have you been here?'' she stutters weakly.

Endou and Kidou share a look. ''Long enough,'' answers the Raimon coach seriously. ''What's wrong?''

They all seem anxious for the answer, but Aki seems unwilling to answer. She doesn't meet anyone's eyes, and both the Akizora Challengers and the Raimon coaches seem worried at the uncharacteristic reaction.

The woman hesitates and shoots a look at her young relative. Tenma has started petting Sasuke and his back is turned to the other people present, but they can all see how tense his form is. Aki sighs and allows herself to relax a little. ''Just a... disagreement,'' she says finally. ''Please, don't concern yourself about it.'' Before anyone can protest, however, a smile lights up her face. ''But Endou-kun, Kidou-kun, what are you doing here?''

Endou shares another look with Kidou, but then forces a light grin on his face. ''We ran into Kogure,'' he says, as if it explains everything. ''But anyway... what is this team?''
