Seducing Akihisa

Chapter 2: I Don't Mean to Be Pushy But...Give Me A Compliment!

Akihisa didn't know where everybody was. But it just made things easier.

You see currently Akihisa was trying to study. Akihisa didn't want to be the idiot of the school anymore. He also didn't want to be useless to his friends anymore.

Himeji was smart that was obvious. Minami would probably be even smarter if she knew Kanji. And although he hated to admit it Yuuji was probably smarter then Himeji. Kouta excelled in health and would in more if i tried. Hideyoshi wasn't dumb either but with his acting skills and not to mention beauty, it wasn't like he needed to be a genius to be helpful. Akihisa needed to catch up with his friends if he wanted to be of help. That and he didn't think he could survive another remediation with Iron Man.

So that's why he was currently sitting at his table trying to study. Math was easy. Most of the questions were multiply choice, so he was bound to get some right. And as for the rest, all he had to do was guess a number. It wasn't like there was an infinity number of numbers, right? After deciding that math was out, Akihisa cracked open a dictionary and decided to start on English.

"Seduction an act of trying to attract another person. In which sexual appeal and charm is used as a weapon. Hmm, I wonder if someone will act that way towards me one day... Next word ... to be unaware of your surroundings no matter how bluntly it is..."

Outside of the classroom Yuuji, Mizuki , Minami and Kouta were all observing Akihisa through a hole in the wall.

"There's the target. Are you girls ready?" Yuuji asked. The two girls nodded eagerly.

"I'm not. Sitting on those boxes made my back hurt." Kouta muttered while popping his back.

" Would you drop it already!"

"I'm just saying."

"So whats the first round about?"

"This first one is pretty simple. All you have to do is get Akihisa to compliment you."

"That's it?"

"Well there are rules. For example you can't directly ask Akihisa a question that leads to a compliment. You can't ask him 'how do I look today' or anything like that. Also the quality of the compliment determines the winner. If Akihisa tells Minami he likes her hair and Mizuki gets no compliment then Minami wins. But if Mizuki gets a compliment like "Your eyes shine like the sun then she wins. You guys ready?"

"Wait! I'm not ready my hair is a mess."

"Mine is too. Can we get some time before we start?"

"Nope. Sorry girls you'll have to do as you are."

"But you can't just spring something like this on a girl!"

"That's not very nice Yuuji! If I would have known I would have worn one of my newer

uniforms."

"And I would have bought a new hair tie!"

"Can't we do this tomorrow?"

"Yeah, that would give us more time"

"Shut Up!" At this the two girls quieted down. "Look, the main point of this round is for you both to show that you guys don't need to try hard to get something as simple as a complement. Now who's first?"

Akihisa was thinking about quitting on studying and taking a nap. No I am not a giver upper! I will not look up from these books no matter what!

Mean while across the room Himeji was thinking how to approach him. She had approached him many times before, but this was different. This now counted any wrong move and she could lose it all. Oh, this was going to be hard!

"Hi Akihisa"

"Hello Himeji"

"You look nice today"

"Thanks, your hair looks nice."

"But you haven't even seen it."

" Hm?...Oh,I don't need to see it to know how good it looks. Your hair is always nice."

"..."

"Himeji? She must have left. Back to studying...Anencephalous.. that's got to be a fake word"

Little did Akihisa know how much that word related to him.

Mizuki walked back to the others with a smile and a soft blush on her face. Minami didn't know what to think. I don't need to see it to know how good it looks. Your hair is always nice. What did Akihisa mean by that!? How was she supposed top something like that?

"That was good Himeji, but it would have done you better if he looked up."

"What do you mean? I got the compliment."

"Yeah, but if he looked up then it would have shown you had his complete attention."

"So in other words it kind of seems he said that just to get rid of you."

"Eh!?"

"Well, he seemed really into that book. If I was doing something I was really into, I would say anything to make someone go away."

Crack And with that Mizuki's hopeful thoughts vanished.

"Well I would't put it like that Kouta, but yes. If he didn't even look at you how can you be sure he meant it. The quality of compliment the good, but I'm not sure about the meaning behind it."

So that means if I get Aki to look at me and give me a compliment I could get the point'

"My turn."

'Okay so I just need him to look big deal'

Minami walked into the the classroom and set her eyes on Akihisa. She walked up to him and waited for him to look up and notice her. She was preparing herself to give him a sweet smile or a soft giggle for when he did look up. Except he didn't. He just sat there completely ignoring her.

"HI Aki" she said a little louder then she meant. But it didn't seem like Akihisa noticed.

"Hey Minami"

Still not looking up.

"It's a lovely day" And still not looking up.

"Hey you know what's weird?"

No response.

"When you really take the time and look at someone. It's amazing how many things you notice when you look."

Still nothing.

"Here's an idea why don't you look at someone right now? Say someone that you've known for a while now"

"Uh huh sure."

"So why don't you look up?"

...

"Like now!?"

...

"...Aki Look at me!"

"Okay Fine! Stop yelling at me I don't need this kind of pressure!" Akihisa looked up with an annoyed expression.

"Now look at me. Notice anything?"

Man, Minami is weird . But the sooner I get this over with the sooner I can go back to studying. Now lets see.' Akihisa looked at her. From her maroon colored hair in a ponytail to her green eyes. 'Well her eyes are pretty. Like springtime grass. The perfect mixture of green not too light and with right amount of dark. Hmm..wait whats this!?'

"I can't believe I never noticed!"

"What?" Minami said eagerly.

"They're perfect! The way they match. They're the right, size the right shade. How could I've never noticed before!? Just the way that they cling to your skin!"

"Why thank yo- ... Wait what do you mean cling?"

"Your socks of course! They're perfect!"

"My socks!?"

At this time Mizuki, Yuuji and Kouta entered the room each with a look of disbelief on their face.

"Does that count? It was a compliment."

"Yeah but it was directed to her socks."

"But her socks are a part of her."

"Unless her skin is permanently attached, I don't think it counts."

"It doesn't. Which means point Mizuki. Round one is over."

Upon hearing this Minami lost control.

"Aki...you IDIOT!" And then she attacked.

"Oww! Minami what did I do?"

"Well that's one round over. Kouta did you write everything down...Kouta?" Yuuji looked around to find the ninja had vanished.

"What's going on?" said Hideyoshi who had finally showed up. He was looking at Minami who currently had Akihisa in a death hold. "Why is-"

"Akihisa was being an idiot again."

"Oh, okay" Hideyoshi nodded understanding. He walked towards his seat, ignoring Akihisa's cries of pain.

"Hey Hideyoshi...You're looking as beautiful as ever..OOWWWwww!... WHAT THE heck Minami? I was just complimenting Hideyoshi's beauty! Oh no not my legs! OOOOWWWwww!"

And that's chapter 2. Mizuki won the first round but will she win the next one?
