The Dark Fate (Akashi Seijuro fanfiction)

Chapter 3- ...and I thought Fate Liked Me

Yuki's Pov.

"So I'll see you tomorrow ne?" I said to the red head before she leaves.

"Mhn. Arigato" she smiled and bowed. Why? I don't need to be respected at all!

"E-ehh, Aka-chan you don't need to do t-that!" I exclaimed waving both my hand side to side.

"ehehehe... Sorry. I'm just so thankful for what you've done for me. That's all."

"Oh. Is that so?" I said once more. I didn't know people could be so grateful at times like this? I do this all the time. Why only now?

"You know what? You don't feel comfortable and so do I. So let's just do this!" she enthused extending a hand out to me. Eh? What is she doing?

"Aka-chan what are you—"

"It's a handshake dummy! This is the way Americans do to express their thanks! It's not tiring and emberassing so yeah!" A handshake? Ohhh a handshake! okay. That's quite better.

I did the same extending my right arm shaking it too. "Well you're welcome Aka-chan! Tomorrow again okay?"

She giggled and nodded. "Sure. Why not? That's what friends are for ne?" she happily said. Friends? I've forgotten how that felt like. Having a "good" friend. I smiled and replied, "Mmhn"

"Jaa ne!~~~" she waved and left the school grounds. I, on the other hand went back to practice.

...

"So that's your new friend?" someone said just behind me.Yikes!!! Who did that?! That was creepy!

"Eeepp!!" I verbally shouted and actually jump from my spot. Seriously. Who wouldn't?! That was really scary!

I turned around to see Hibomi-senpai. Oh. So he was the one."Yeash Senpai. Stop scaring other poeple! Some of us might get a heart attack because of you!!" I demanded. He, was laughing because of my precise action. Annoying. Really.

"Hahahaa Gomen gomen. It was just so funny! You should have seen your own face! I just came to see you say goodbye to your friend and this happens! Hilarious! Hahaha!"

"Senpai. Please stop. Seriously that's really annoying." I advised walking back to the gym. He followed behind.

"So? Who is this new friend of yours?" he asked.

"Well she's a transfer student. The name is Hoshi Akane. She's been in—"

"Wait you mean THE Hoshi Akane!?" he ran infront of me holding both my shoulders. What is he so piped up so much? I haven't even told him that she's Scarlet Stars yet. What's wrong?

"Yes her why?"

"Was she from Teiko Middle School?"

"Uhuh..."

"Impossible! I thought she died!"

Oh. I never believed someone knew about her accident. Well, here it is. A witness.

"How do you know that Senpai? I never knew you would know such a thing." I questioned.

He sighed. Wait, sighed? What did I do now?

"Yuki. Did you even read the magazines in your Middleschool days? There should be tons of them!" he said waving his hands around and around.

Well, no I didn't. I felt bored just reading them. Though I think I still have them in the basement. I guess...

"No why?" I asked. I felt stupid just saying that. I just didn't want to read it. It was boring and I was not really interested in the Mainstream things.
