The rain was pouring hard, thunder roars and lightnings were striking down. Akashi and Aya were in a cave, waiting for the storm to pass by.

"What a disaster..." Aya sighed watching the pouring rain "but thanks to you, we were able to escape from them. Who are those people anyways? What a day!  Running towards the deep forest, jumping in a cliff, being washed away by that fast current and then being stuck here inside the cave in the middle of the storm, in the middle of this small island?!"

"They were trying to kill us"

"..." Aya looked at Akashi in disbelief "eh...? Huh?!"

~6 hours ago~

When Aya heard that the orphanage was again operating and the king bought the building back, she couldn't help but rejoice and in disbelief since it escalated quickly. Also, as what Akashi said, the guard was once again sent to the jail. Aya continuously thanked Akashi and the others, and unexpectedly became close to them despite of Riko's warning not to trust them too much since they are from the noble district. Though she said that, they unexpectedly became close to them as well, except for Akashi that they could feel his intimidating presence.

And it's been a month since that happened. Since then, every single day, most of the time, Akashi's group would visit the store to see who were included in Aya's group, help in selling, and once they were sold out, Akashi and the others would tag along to help the isolated villagers. Of course, they found out that Aya and the others were the ones who were making their products, but they still didn't tell them that Aya thought of them. And they made sure to hide the fact that Aya wasn't Riko's sister, that Aya was someone they didn't know where she came from.

"Akashi-kun, you'll go just by yourself again?" Kuroko asked as he entered Akashi's mansion at the noble district. Akashi was wearing a fitted light red long sleeves turtle neck top, with grey fitted chinos pants, and black military boots.

"Yeah" Akashi responded then put on his black cape and red tophat. "I told Midorima what you needed to do later"

"Akashicchi, I just noticed, you only go by yourself to that store if Ayacchi would be there, and then you would go with her, just the two of you to the village. Do you like Ayacchi?"

"Huh?" Akashi looked at Kise in confusion "I am just tagging along since we needed to gather more information, and she seemed knew lots"

"What I heard was, she just joined them last year when she returned back here in this kingdom. She lived in different kingdom after all" Kuroko commented "but then, according to Koganei-san, she is a big impact to them."

"Yeah, that's what I heard too, so I think she knows more and she hasn't told us everything." Akashi retorted

"Then I wonder why am I seeing differently? Since you really pay attention to Ayacchi a lot." Kise wondered

Akashi sighed and before he left "in any case, it's only a month since we joined them, but we still have lots of things to learn and to investigate. I'm leaving"

"Yeah, have fun!" Kise waved at him and when he left "he didn't notice at all. If he is with Ayacchi, he wears something as if he is going on a date. He is also not letting anyone go with him, like it's just him if it's just Ayacchi. And he only talks about her."

"You didn't like her at first though" Aomine yawned as he scratched his stomach as he stood up "but you saw how she cured a kid, and you changed your attitude towards her"

"She is awesome after all" Kise chuckled "plus, she could answer Akashicchi's question right away, and she could silence Akashicchi too with her witty answer and questions. And also, remember how she talked to Hirano last time?! I really respected her because of that!"
