Chapter 12
Normal POV
"I think I know the reason why Dai-chan loves you."
Momoi, for the first time after her broken state, smiled, a warm and serene smile towards Kagami.
Kagami would have been happy to see her smile if he didn't know the reason, but he knows it. Momoi patted Kagami's head slowly while giggling.
"Shut up!"
"Aaawww, don't be like that Kagami-kun, you don't have to be shy. You can cry without worrying about me. You're really cute when you look vulnerable like this."
"I'm not crying! And I'm not cute!"
Yeah, although Kagami attempted to deny Momoi words, his hands which were trying to wipe the tears on his cheeks betrayed him. After hearing Momoi's stories about Aomine, he couldn't stop his tears.
Kagami knew and realized Aomine felt regret and guilty over his death, but he didn't think that he would make Aomine suffer like that.
Kagami was trying to calm himself with a long sigh. They were both silent and enjoyed the silence between them. Then, Momoi opened her mouth.
"Do you hate Dai-chan?"
"No.."
Kagami answered quickly without a trace of doubt in his voice.
"Do you regret calling Dai-chan that time?"
"I-"
"Kagami!"
Kagami and Momoi were startled by Katsunori's voice and he suddenly appeared in Momoi's room looking panicked.
"What the-?"
"I need you to come with me as soon as possible!"
Kagami stared at the demon in front of him in puzzlement. Who is this guy? How could he know his name?
Kagami snapped from his thoughts when Katsunori pulled his hand.
"Hurry up! You must stop his stupid decision!"
"Stupid decision? Who?"
"Aomine!"
Kagami and Satsuki's eyes widened after hearing the name of the person who they had just been talking about. Although they don't know what happened yet, but they felt that something bad is going to happen. Kagami and Momoi stared at each other and Momoi nodded her head.
"What's going on with Aomine?"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Kagami's POV
"Aomine you're an aho, aho, ahoo, AHOO!"
Was Aomine really sthat tupid? Didn't he trust me? How dare he take such a stupid decision? What the hell was that what you wanted Aomine!? Just come to me and say that you feel really sorry and that you...
"The Rakuzan division?"
"Yes. That's the highest division in our world, all the members are well trained and professional demons."
"Then what's the problem?"
Momoi, who had been looking at us curiously, finally intervened. Katsunori-san stared at Momoi with a serious face.
"Trained and professional. Yes, getting into the Rakuzan division is a perfect dream for most demons, but demons that know the Rakuzan system, will choose to avoid that division. The division where every demon tries to get in, to enter it, you must be ready to throw away your past and ... your heart."
I was looking at Katsunori-san with fear in my eyes. Discard the past and his own feelings? Does that mean ..?
"Does that mean he will forget everything about his life, his friends, his family and..."
He will forget me?
As if reading my mind Katsunori nodded his head slowly and looked at me sadly.
"No!"
Momoi's cry makes us look at her questioningly. Momoi was shaking and grabbing her hair while screaming hysterically. She began to say unclear words. It seems Katsunori-san's news made Momoi's mind waver again. I was trying to calm Momoi, but my attempt was futile. She kept screaming and muttering something.
"No! I have just met Dai-chan again! I don't want Dai-chan to leave me again! I don't want him to forget me!"
Satsuki's parents who have heard her screams started knocking on her locked room. Momoi suddenly grabbed my shirt and looked at me with pleading eyes.
"Give me back my best friend. Give me back Dai-chan, Kagami-kun ... please..."
After I looked at Momoi pained expression, I felt sad. I stroked her hair and held her hand.
"Do you believe in me?"
Momoi nodded his head slowly, her body shaking, trying to hold all the mixed emotions in her head.
"Then you must promise me one thing."
She looked at me with in puzzlement.
"Promise to re-live your life and go through it happily."
"Wha-"
"I know you really care about Aomine. But you have your own life. "
Katsunori-san was looking at me with a small smile on his face.
"You have a family, you have friends, you have people who care about you. I understand your sorrow by the departure of Aomine, but that doesn't mean you can throw away your life and make the people around you worried."
Satsuki frowned and grabbed my shirt tightly.
"You have people who are happy and sad because of you. You have your parents, Kuroko, Kise, even Aomine ... and me."
Momoi looked surprised by my statement. Her panicked face from before has been replaced with a puzzled face.
"I will bring back Aomine. Trust me."
Katsunori-san who leaned on the wall with his hands crossed on his chest chuckled as he closed his eyes.
"If he's still stubborn about his decision, I will scold him, punch him and drag that idiot back home."
Momoi and Katsunori-san finally burst out laughing.
"Yeah, I believe in you Kagami-kun. I will wait for Dai-chan and I'll apologize to everyone who has been worried because of my behaviour."
I patted her head and grinned widely.
"It seems I win the bet again."
Because I was drowned in my thought about the things that happened at Momoi's house, I didn't realize that I had reached the front door of Kagetora-san's room. I straighten my body and take a deep breath. My hand intends to knock on the door, but froze in the air.
"Come In."
I went in and saw Kagetora-san staring boredly at the documents on his desk. His cheek rested on his hand and his other hand was busy writing something in the documents.
"Kagetora-san, I-"
"You know if you get caught creeping out to the demon world, you will get a severe punishment, Taiga? Not only punishment from us but also from their side."
GULP!
"Yes, I know the consequences sir."
Kagetora-san lifted his head and smiled warmly at me.
"If that's so, go get your idiot back."
I blinked. And blink again. I looked at Kagetora-san dumbfoundly.
"What else you waiting for? Go! Say hello to Kat-chan."
I was snapped out of my reverie and nodded my head.
"Yes, sir!"
I turned around, holding the knob of the door to get out, but my movements stopped.
"Taiga."
I turned my head to the chief.
"Hurry up and come back safely."
"... Yeah, Kagetora-san. I'll be back. Please wait for me."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Uugh, why can't I fly faster? I could vaguely see Katsunori-san standing on a tree and rushed to him.
"Are you ready, Kagami-kun?"
"Yes, sir."
I will not hesitate. I've decided what I want to do. I'm ready to accept any risk. I will bring back Aomine. No, I am definitely bringing him back.
Katsunori-san raised his hands forward and suddenly there appeared a black vortex. Without hesitation, he pushed me into the vortex and jumped into it as well.
I don't know what happened. I was screaming out loud. All around me was so dark and I felt my body fall. I closed my eyes. A few seconds later I felt a hand on my shoulder and I opened my eyes.
When I looked around, I realized that we were standing up in the middle of reeds and dead trees. The blue sky is replaced by the night sky, blending with the color of dusk.
"Welcome to our world, Kagami-kun."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
After that, we flew through the forest, valleys and hills. We came to a cliff with a large river beneath it. There were some demons who were lined up at the edges. Over the river, spanned a long concrete bridge and at the end of it, there's a black gate that stands firmly like those always describes in fantasy or horror movies.
I saw a few demons near the bridge and my eyes stopped on a familiar figure, Aomine. I started to move towards him, but Katsunori-san took my hand and shook his head.
"Wait here, I'll call Aomine. If you are careless, then your identity as an angel would be found out and you will endanger yourself, Tora, Aomine and me. You don't want that to happen right?"
Reluctantly, I followed Katsunori-san order and stood behind the trees. After a few minutes, I finally saw Katsunori-san walking towards me, someone who looked annoyed following behind him.
Aomine.
I couldn't hold back my emotions. My heart was beating loudly, I could hear it clearly drumming with constant beats. I am really happy to see Aomine, but I'm also scared and confused by what will happen.
Katsunori-san was standing in front of me and smiled, he shifts his body and Aomine lifted his head. He frowned.
"... Taiga?"
"Aomine."
He looked shocked and confused. His eyes gaze at Katsunori-san and then gazed back to me. His dark blue eyes slowly changed, became cold and heartless.
"What are you doing here, Kagami?"
I flinched. Yes, I couldn't mask my disappointment that Aomine called me by my family name. Katsunori-san was walking away from us to give us a chance to talk alone.
"I wanna take you back."
Aomine blinked. Then he laughed. Laughing out loud while clutching his stomach.
Okay, now I'm really pissed off.
"Are you kidding, Kagami? Back? Return to where? This is my world. My home."
I was clenching my hands.
"That's not what I mean! I-"
"Go home. This is not the place for an angel like you. "
"Listen to me first, bastard!"
"I don't want to hear anything from you."
"You-"
"I hate you. You're annoying. You're pathetic. You're disgusting and I really hate you.
My eyes widened hearing Aomine's harsh words.
He hates me?
He is lying, right?
"Did Satsuki tell you about me? Heh! That girl really can't shut her mouth. Yes, she was telling the truth, but all of it was the feeling of my former self. The feeling at the time I was still weak and pathetic. Now, I don't feel anything about you other than hatred. I tried to explain everything to you but you ignored me. I had enough of your childish behaviour."
He is lying.
He is lying.
I repeated the words like a mantra in my head.
But why I was suddenly doubting my faith in him?
"Go back to your world, and never show yourself in front of me again."
Aomine turned around and walked away from me. I was frozen in place. I looked up at him blankly. But suddenly I realized something.
The pained expression on his face when he said such rude things to me a few moment ago.
I also realized that his body was shaking
His hands were clasped tightly on both sides of his body.
His heavy and limp steps as he left me.
He felt guilty.
Sometimes you're really stubborn Aomine.
You're really an idiot, aren't you?
Yeah, but I'm also an idiot. Your Bakagami.
"AHOMINEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
All the demons attention there was drawn to me. They all looked at me with puzzled faces and were shocked after seeing the white wings that were attached to my body. They all began to whisper and murmured about me, but I don't care about them. I only care about a stunned demon who didn't budge from his place with a face which I think is really funny. I walked up to him calmly and stood in front of him.
DHWACK!
Yup, you heard it right. I punched him.
The demons stared at us with amusement and began crowding around us. But the crowd suddenly spread out and a middle-aged man with slicked back black hair and a pair of sharp and cold eyes appeared.
"What's going on here?"
Aomine was standing in front of me, his hand on my shoulder, gently pushing me to stand behind him.
The man looked at us and behind us.
"Can you explain what happened here, Katsunori?"
Katsunori-san walked to the man, raising his hands as if in surrender.
"Well, I think I can explain it to you, but can give my boys a little time, Eiji?"
"Are you ordering me?"
"Hmm ~ rather than order, I think it was a request. Aren't we old friends, Eiji?"
The man named Eiji glared sharply at Katsunori-san.
"Tell your men to return and line up with the others and get the angel to back off now before I run out of patience."
"But-"
"Now!"
Katsunori-san sighed and shook his head.
"Although it's my request too, Eiji?"
Our attention was drawn to the familiar voice.
"Chief! What are you doing here? "
Eiji-san-san looked at Kagetora-san with a puzzled face.
"Tora?"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Okay, now I'm starting to worry about leaving Kagetora-san and Katsunori-san with a man who turns out to be the the Rakuzan chief. I'm looking back toward the three men who were busy talking.
Suddenly the grip on my hand grew tighter and I was pulled forward.
"Ouch! What the hell are you doing Aomine?!"
"That's should be my line Bakagami! What the fucking hell are you doing there?! You know what will happen if you get caught! They will punish you! And worst of all, they will kill you!"
I was speechless. I have never seen Aomine this angry. His eyes full of rage and... concern?
"Are you ... worried? "
Aomine gritted his teeth and let go of his grip on my hand.
"Go home."
"Wha-No!"
"Go back, Kagami!"
"I said no!"
He raised his hand and the black vortex appears again. I started to panic when Aomine was trying to push my body in.
"Allright allright! I will return to my world! But hear me out first!"
Aomine stopped pushing me.
"Fine. I'll give you one minute. "
"Hey!"
"60, 59 .."
My eyes widened.
"Wait wait!"
"55, 54 ..."
"I. .. errr ... I don't hate you! "
"48, 47 ..."
"I'll never hate you! Like I said before, I never regretted falling in love with you!"
"40, 39 ..."
Bastard! He ignored me!
"I have succeeded to persuade Momoi to move on and go through her life like before"
"30, 29 ..."
"So, I won the bet again!"
"24, 23 ..."
"Aomine! Aaaarghh, listen to me!"
"17, 16 ..."
"You must fulfill my wish!"
"11, 10 ..."
"Hey! Ahomine! "
"5, 4, 3 ..."
"Give me your heart!"
He blinked.
"Huh?"
Uugh, don't make me repeat it again Aho! This is so embarrassing! I turned my head to the side trying to hide my face that had already begun to redden.
"I said 'give me your heart'. I want your heart!"
Aomine wa sstill looking at me dumbfoundly.
Gah! Stop with all of this talking! I don't care anymore!
I pulled his body closer, put my hands on his cheeks, and ...
I kissed him.
I could feel Aomine body immediatly turn stiff. He was stunned.
Oh god, I'm really embarrased now. Slowly, I let go of Aomine's cheeks and opened my eyes. Aomine looked at me blankly.
"Uuumm, Aomine?"
Aomine expression slowly changed. His dark blue eyes were looking at me gently and he is smiling. A rarely genuine smile. I held my breath. He looks really different without a scowl on his face.
He put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer until I was pressed to his body. Aomine leaned forward and put his lips on mine lightly. After a while, he pressed his lips harder and kiss me gently. He pulled away and smirked after looking at my flushed face. He pecked me on the corner of my lips and put his forehead on mine.
"I'm sorry Taiga. I'm so sorry ... I-"
He couldn't hold back his tears anymore. He buried his face in my neck and cried in silence. I smiled and stroked his blue locks.
"I know. It's okay Daiki, I forgive you."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Normal POV
"You know guys, your reckless act has caused me to lose my paycheck for this month."
Eiji sighed as he crossed his arms over his chest. Kagetora and Katsunori laughed.
"Yeah, we truly apologize about this incident. But you know, we could have lost our jobs because of this."
Eiji shook his head seeing his two friends who were smiling broadly at him.
"You guys really haven't change."
"Look who's talking."
The three of them laughed together. Once they calmed down, Eiji looked toward the trees where Aomine and Kagami were talking.
"You realize this isn't going to be easy for them, right?"
They nodded slowly.
"Although I let them and closed my eyes this time, not everybody will agree and support their relationship. There will be many problems and obstacles that they will face after this."
"... Yeah, we're aware of it. But we have a faith in them."
All of the chiefs looked in the direction of Kagami and Aomine walking toward them. They smiled warmly when they realized Aomine and Kagami linked hands.
"Yes. They'll surely get through it."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Nee, Daiki."
"Hmm?"
Crimson eyes stared lovingly at dark blue eyes.
"I love you."
Aomine was taken back by Kagami's blunt confession. Then, his rare smile adorned his tanned face again. He nuzzled Kagami red locks and planted a kiss on his forehead.
Yes, this is real. Kagami was in front of him now. He has been given a chance to correct his mistake and he will not repeat his mistake for a second time.
He is no longer hesitating.
He is no longer afraid.
"Yeah, I love you too, Taiga."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Kagami POV
"Give me back my fries –ssu!"
"You're so noisy Kise-kun."
"It's just some fries Kise-kun, just let Dai-chan have them!"
"Why doesn't either of you stand up for me? Aominechii has taken my lunch!"
"Shut up Kise, I just took a little."
I laughed at Kuroko, Kise, Momoi and Aomine who were busy arguing. Then, Kise was looking at me with his puppy eyes.
Crap! He's using that face again!
"Kagamichii~ Aomine was so mean to me~"
"Don't listen to him, Taiga."
I scratched my head while Kise was trying to strangle Aomine.
"Hey, what are you going to do after this Kagami-kun? New mission?"
Kuroko put his milkshakes down and took the fries in Daiki's hand.
"Hey! Tetsu!"
"Well, we are given time off for a few days. My chief and Daiki's chief still trying to resolve the chaos that we caused."
"The chaos that you caused"
"Shut up Daiki!"
Momoi laughing at both of us.
"So, what are you guys doing after this?"
"Maybe practice some basketball, I haven't been playing basketball with Daiki lately."
"Boo ~ that's really boring Kagamin, sometimes you have to do other activities that can bring you two closer."
Aomine suddenly smirked.
Oh no, I don't like that smirk and glint in his eyes. He leaned to my ears and whispered with a deep voice.
"I'm more interested in doing activities other than basketball that will make you sweat and become closer to me, Taiga."
I'm really sure my face is flushing red right now. I can see Kurokos sly smile, Kise's sparkling eyes and Momoi in fangirl mode.
"You're a pervert!"
Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder and someone leaned closer to me.
"If you don't want to do it with Aomine, I will be happy to replace him."
"Sa-Sakurai-san?"
"You!"
Daiki stood up and pointed toward Sakurai-san.
"Stay away from Taiga!"
"I don't wanna ~"
He nuzzled my hair.
"Bastard!"
Kise and Momoi was busy trying to hold back Aomine who wanted to jump Sakurai-san. Kuroko just stared at them without expression, and me?
Yeah, I could only smile at their stupidity.
