A/N: Hello! It's been a month and a half since I updated, due to school and activities, but it's finally our summer vacation! This means I'll be more active in continuing this story which you guys have been waiting for. I've seen that a lot of reviews agreeing in Hachiman x Harem, so I counted the polls to see the results:

Riko- 11

Yukino- 10

Saki- 10

Yumiki- 7

Ebina- 6

Yui- 5

Ihora- 5

Haruno- 3

Alex- 3

I guess we got Riko as our main girl! You guys can suggest more girls and vote for them, so that, they can be added for our precious Hachiman, and I will surely try to add them in the story. So wish me luck then!

I would also like to mention those people who reviewed my fanfiction. I hope that there would be more people who will continue on reading this story!

Pokeevee: I have no ideas, but good luck anyways! I really like your story. :)

SilentXD7: Very interesting story. I hope you continue with the series and I see great potential in this story.

Cheekygaya: I'm not really a fan of harems, but I suppose I'll play along: Any girl I know? Why not Haruno? I'm sure the she-devil will never fail to spice everything up and make the hell out of Hikki. You know how she's so interested in him, so then, what if she knew about his past and started drilling him because of it. Oooh~ those 'feels'. Hope to see the continuation soon.

Lost: Long time without knowing anything about you and I liked chapter eight I hope and updates soon and I want to know if hikigaya will face the miraculous generation in a basketball game

Thank you for the reviews! :D

Chapter 9

As we continued talking with Riko, we heard someone call her. She looked irritated but bid farewell to the three of us. As she left, I heard the two girls talk.

"She's a nice girl." Yukinoshita praised, while Yuigahama agreed on her statement.

"Yeah! She's fun to be with!" I couldn't help but swear drop at their compliments

'Oh how wrong you guys, she's a demon when she's pissed.' I thought as I felt a chill on my spine.

We talked for a while when we left the place, well, it's actually just the two of them talking while I ignore them. There was an announcement from the school, saying that it's already lunch time. We entered the cafeteria which is full of students; we grabbed our lunches and took a seat. The girls continued what they were doing, while I enjoyed my time eating, Of course. After that, we left the building, I was about to go back to my room, but I heard someone calling my name.

"Hey, Hachiman!" It was Riko, again. As she waved at me, I had no other choice but to talk to her much my hatred. She later on invited me for a game of basketball, which also made Yukinoshita and Yuigahama confused as they listen to our conversation.

"No. It's a waste of time and energy for me." She pouted at me, but sighed to her disappointment.

"No luck in trying I guess. You always had excuses even if it's absurd." I feel offended, but didn't utter a word. "But nonetheless, I understand you and your weird thinking, but I just missed those memories we had back then." She said, sadly and left again, in which made me feel guilty and regret all my decisions.

'Was I being a jerk when I said that?' I deeply thought, unaware of the two girls staring at me while frowning?

"That wasn't a nice thing to say, Hikki." Yuigahama pouted, I wanted to retort back, but I felt that it was true after all.

"It's what I think it is." I said. Yukinoshita raised a brow on me, which was really irritating.

"Aside from your impetuous response, I can see that the girl really wanted you to accept her invitation." She stated. As much as I hate to admit it, but she was right.

"Well she is my childhood friend, and we did a lot of things before I left Tokyo. I guess she just miss me being here as her neighbour and best friend." I said without a thought once again. They looked at me, expressionless.

"What?" I asked, clueless to the situation while Yukinoshita smirked.

"It is quite a shock for us to know you treat her like that." She said.

"Of course, she was the one who was always there for me when I was in need." I boasted, but it was ignored by the two of them.

"She sure does." Both of them groaned, but later on chuckled.

'I guess this trip might actually be fun.' I thought as I smiled at them.

I bid farewell to my club mates and entered the room. I closed the door and saw Akashi, sitting on the bed.

"I didn't know that there's a sleepover here. Are we going to paint our nails pink now?" I said, glaring at him. He eventually let out a snicker, it made me blood boil in anger.

"Your humour never ceased to amaze me, Hikigaya-kun." He said as I narrowed my eyes at him, and calmly asked.

"What are you planning this time?" Then he looked at me, serious.

"It is quite obvious, isn't it? The purposes of this trip, if I assumed you know." He exclaimed. I sighed at his response. "Whatever your plan is, it will never work and I'll never go back." I said as he frowned.

"For now, you'll deny it, but I'm sure that someday, you'll come back after this trip. For I am absolute, and my plans never fail." That made me really angry, that I almost wanted to charge at him.

"No way in hell that'll happen. I don't give a single damn on how much you wasted in this. But I assure you; I'll gladly join this nonsense and make this a sweet failure you'll never forget." I stated, but he remained silent, and left the room without saying a word.

I locked the door when he just left. I can't stand seeing their faces. Then I lied down to the bed to have some moment to think.

'He's serious about it. As much as I hate to admit it, but I need to find a way to stop all of his plans. I also need help from my friends to stop him.' I thought while staring at nothing.

'Those bastards are going through my nerves. I need to control my temper. I don't want to bring back the old me; everyone I know will think of me as a monster and hate me. I don't want that at all.' I thought, devastated.

The old memories I had lingered through my mind. I suddenly feel my heart beat fast, that made me hardly breathe. I quickly entered the bathroom and used the sink. I splashed a lot of water to my face. I looked at the mirror, to see myself looking pale. I did a breathing exercise to recover. As I finally calmed down, I took out a small box from my pocket. I looked at the mirror once again, and removed something from my eyes.

It was contact lenses. I wouldn't say that I like wearing it, I just had no choice, and wearing glasses is a pain in the ass. I only used this when I first arrived at Chiba. After removing them, I carefully inserted back to the box. I took a towel to dry myself and left the bathroom.

Then I opened my luggage and took out my glasses from the container. It wasn't my proudest moments when I used to wear this back in Teiko, but thank god my parents allowed me to get contact lenses. It wasn't really something flashy for me; it's just a normal glasses, but not too big nor small. I slowly wore it and looked at a mirror from the wall, to not see rotten dead fish eyes, but onyx pupils.

It was hard to adjust myself from the glasses, but I ignored it and started reading my favourite book. Ok, I can't really focus reading for the past fifteen minutes, because of them. I always think about them, making my blood boil from anger, but I need to calm down. As I put the book to the night stand, I was about to sleep, not until, I heard a knock from the door.

I was surprised, pissed and curious. I looked at the time, to see that it's past midnight.

'Who would be knocking at this time?' I thought. Annoyed to the person that has been knocking the door for a while. I sighed and get up from the bed, to see who it was due to my curiosity.

I slowly opened the door, shocked to see that it was Riko. She was in her night clothes which made me blushed, but confused at the same time. She was blushing also, not making eye contact with me.

"Uhm, what brings you here, Riko?" I asked, awkwardly. She finally looks at me, still blushing, and said.

"I-I just want to check on y-you." She stuttered. I don't know if I can laugh at her nervousness, because I also feel myself blushing.

"O-Oh, Is that so? D-Don't worry, I'm fine." I stuttered. 'Damn, why am I also stuttering?!' I thought.

I can feel the awkwardness towards the both of us, so I guessed that maybe it's time for her to go back? I did tell her that I was fine, even though I don't know why she's even here at the first place.

"I guess we're done?" She looked at me, speechless but didn't say anything.

"Y-Yeah! I guess." She said. I was about to close the door, but she suddenly hold my hand.

"T-That's not the only reason why I'm here. I just missed you so much." She said, but whispered the last part. I was still able to hear it, and made me flustered but happy. I remembered those memories we had back then, that we even sleep together at night. Not anything weird, but feeling each other's embrace always help us to sleep.

"You can come in." I said. I was trying to ignore my embarrassment, but I can also see that she's also embarrassed.

"O-Okay, thanks." She said, and entered the room. It was quiet, but I was trying to think of a subtle approach to make it less awkward for us.

She then, slowly walked towards the bed, and took her seat. She looked at me, signalling for me to join her in. I gulped an amount of air and walked towards the side of the bed, and lied down. She did the same thing. It was embarrassing to be honest, and these inappropriate thoughts aren't helping too.

'Stop thinking dirty thoughts, Hikigaya! You're better than this. Think of your old memories with her!' I scold myself in my mind, but I realized that those memories only happened when we were kids.

'I guess the adults thought that were too innocent for those things and act childish so it's acceptable, but it's not the same anymore, we're teenagers for god's sake. Now I don't know what to do that won't make her mad. Maybe I should talk to her so I could make it less awkward, or I could-'

My thoughts were cut off, when I suddenly felt someone hug me. I can feel my mind explode; I can feel myself blushing, madly. I slowly looked at her, but I was shocked to see her sleeping so peacefully. I couldn't help but adore her; she looks like an angel when she's sleeping. My thoughts were gone and I also embraced her which made her sigh in happiness. I let out a small laugh on how cute she is, until, I also feel the sleepiness overpowering me.

'I guess I also need to sleep' I last thought. As I closed my eyes and let my sleepiness do the rest.

Everything was dark, but I might say that this is the most comfortable sleep I had, for the past few years.

The next thing I knew, it was morning already. As I open my eyelids, I feel myself closing it again due to the sunlight from the window, shining through my eyes. I groaned in annoyance, but slowly get up from the bed. I looked at the bed to see Riko still there; I smiled, and let her have more sleep. I took my glasses and wore it. I looked at the time, to see that it is still early for everyone to be awake. I decided that I should look around the room; it was surprisingly large to be a room for one person.

'Of course, this is a prestigious school, as if they would allow this whole place to be cheap.' I thought to myself as I inspect the place. I am quite surprised to see a kitchen, two bedrooms, a small terrace, even a living room with a huge flat screen.

'Man, what kind of school are we staying?' I thought. As I decided to go to the kitchen, I opened the fridge, to see a large amount of food. 'Are we staying on a five star hotel?'

I decided that while Riko is still sleeping, maybe I should make breakfast for the both of us. I took out the needed ingredients and started doing my task.

30 Minutes Later…

I feel myself proud for succeeding in cooking. 'I knew that having a lazy-ass teacher living in the same building was an advantage.' I thought, while remembering a certain blonde girl. I put the food on the table, and cleaned myself up. I looked at the time to see that there's still a lot of time before we go to the assembly.

I took a quick shower, after that, I wore my uniformand fixed myself. I walked towards the bed where Riko was still sleeping. It hurts me that I have to wake her peaceful sleep, but there are a lot of consequences if I don't.

"Riko, wake up." I said. She groaned.

"Five more minutes…" She said.

"Come on, Riko." I said once again.

"But I'm still sleepy." She squirmed and covered herself from the mountain.

"We don't have all day to do this" I said, removing the blankets off her.

"Please?" She pleaded. She knows I can't say no to her, but I have another way to make her get up.

"Oh well, I guess I'll eat the breakfast I made by myself." I said; clear enough for her to hear. She suddenly jumped out of the bed.

"Breakfast you made?!" She asked, as excitement was shown through her face. I let out a laugh and gave her a nod, she then entered the kitchen. "Come on!" She shouted.

'This girl…' I thought as I joined her in eating breakfast.

After we ate, Riko told me that she has to go back to her room, to fix herself and tell Momoi why she was gone last night. I agreed and opened the door for her, she let out a snicker which made me irritated, but she suddenly kissed me on the cheek as an apology.

"See you later, Hachiman!" She said as she left the room.

I feel myself blushing so hard. She made me speechless, and made me think of some random feelings that I cannot explain very well.

'Am I in love with her?' I thought while touching the cheek she kissed a moment ago.

Suddenly, I can feel someone was watching us. I looked everywhere, to see that no one was there, which made me confused. I thought that maybe it was one of my imaginations and forgot about it as I entered my room and closed it.

Somewhere at the corner of the room…

'Are they in a relationship?! This is so shocking! And to think, that it was him too!' A bystander thought, as they saw everything that happened to a certain coach and loner. Then the bystander quickly left the corner, looking for the person that needs to know about this shocking revelation.

It was already time for the students to go to the assembly. My mind is still not functioning due to what happened earlier. The kissing part keeps on replaying on my mind, that I can't help myself from being flustered in public. I hope that the others won't think that I'm some kind of pervert, thinking dirty thoughts. I'm asking myself on why I am thinking about her since this morning.

'Why do I keep thinking of her? Even though, I don't have feelings for sure.' I asked myself, unsure to my feelings. I was unaware that someone was staring at me.

"Hey, Hachiman. Are you okay?" I looked to the person. To see that it was my dear- I mean, Totsuka Saika.

"U-Uh nothing's wrong. I was just thinking on what a beautiful day we're having." I said. He looked at me, confused, which made me think that he didn't believe my lie. I was trying to look away from his cute confused face.

'If only he was a girl! I would have confessed to him by now!'

He then, showed me his beautiful smile that almost made me want to hug him so bad.

'Stop that! If only you weren't cute!'

"It is a great day! But it is a hot though, so I'm sweating so much due to playing my favourite sport!" He said as he took his towel and dried himself in front of me.

'This is supposed to be weird! But why am I not looking away!'

"Eh? Is there something wrong?" He moved forward to me which made me step back.

'No. Stop that naive attitude of yours! It's too cute!'

"Nope! Totally nothing wrong! Oh look the assembly is about to start! You go on ahead." I said. I was trying to get away from this conversation, or I can't contain myself, which is weird in so many levels.

"Ah you're right! I guess I'll see you later, Hachiman!" He said. Then he waved goodbye, and left. I feel relieved that he finally left. I was about to go as well, but I saw Yuigahama and others, walking towards me.

"Hikki! Wait up!" She shouted. I felt annoyed at her for being too loud, but I had no choice and waited for them.

"It's nice to see you here." Yukinoshita greeted.

'Nice? I know you can do better than that, Yukinoshita.'

"Yey, me" I said, lazily. We later on joined in the assembly with the other students.

The teachers were talking while some of the students were listening. I was feeling a lot bored so I was just looking around. My club mates were talking, as well as my other acquaintances. I wasn't really the social person, so I remained silent. I couldn't help but notice the other students from other schools, especially the basketball clubs.

They were having fun, and also the GoM too which is surprising, but I ignored them to get some peace. I suddenly saw Riko, I saw her staring at me so I stared back. I don't know what's happening, but I feel myself, wanting to be next her, having fun. I think I'm turning crazy because of these feelings, but she suddenly gave me a beautiful smile, and winked at me. I feel myself blushing as I looked away from her, covering my embarrassment.

'I can't look at her so directly without blushing or stuttering.'

I must have forgotten that I am not alone, because when I looked up, I saw most of the people I know looking at me, mostly the girls which I don't know why. They must have seen me being flustered which made me want to hide in shame.

"Why do you look so red, Hikki?" Yuigahama asked. I don't know either, I think I'm sick.

"It must be the weather." I muttered, but I don't think they believed me though.

"Are you sure? You look sick. Or maybe you feel lovesick, Hikigaya-kun." Ebina said, but suddenly realized what she said and started having a nosebleed. "It must be because of Hayama-kun!" As she thinks about fujoshi things she likes, while Yumiko tries to calm her down.

'Please make her stop.'

"Or maybe it's a girl, senpai." Isshiki said.

'Oh no.'

"A girl? And who could that be?" Yukinoshita as well as Yuigahama, asked her.

"Well, I did saw him and the coach girl in his room this morning. They were by the door talking, until she kissed him-"

"Don't!" I cut her off, but it was too late. They heard the part "Kissed" so they were shocked.

"Eh?! Kissed?!" The girls shouted. This earned a lot of attention from the other students.

"Be quiet, guys! This isn't the time to talk about that!" I said, trying to make them stop exaggerating.

They were still making noises; I couldn't help but notice Riko looking at us, and when she smirked at me.

'Damn it! She planned this all along!' I thought. I feel myself stressed about the situation, not until I heard another person mentioned something.

"Let us show you all an old photo we had back in Middle School. Where we you will all find the main reason we have given you all a chance to have a school trip here in Tokyo." Akashi said, while the other GoM members watched him from the back, but Tetsuya was looking odd from normal.

'This isn't good.'

As they waited for the photo to show. All the students were waiting, while I feel myself sweating bullets. When the photo was shown, everyone was shocked, especially my acquaintances. I feel myself looking at Riko, Tetsuya and Momoi looked me, they were also shocked as they looked at me. I can hear everyone talking about it.

"Who is he?"

"Wow he's handsome!"

"He looks familiar."

"Wait, isn't he-!"

Then I can feel their gaze upon me, it made me sick for some reason. I wanted to throw up, but I can't move a muscle as I looked down, hiding my shame. The things that it made me want to cry in public.

It was our Basketball team photo back in Middle School, where I was the one in the middle with them.

It made me want to scream.

But I can't.

Because I can feel all the anger inside me.

Akashi Seijuro.

Midorima Shintaro.

Kise Ryota.

Aomine Daiki.

Murasakibara Atsushi.

Thank you for making me, have these feelings.

Now I will use it against you.
