“CONGRATULATION!” her family cheered, hearing their cheers brought a bright smile to Kasumi’s face as she made her way over to her parents and siblings stood. “We are so proud of you Kasumi! “ her mother spoke as she walked over and gave Kasumi a hug “we know that you are going to do great things!” her father declared giving her his brightest smile. Hearing the encouraging words from her parents filled Kasumi’s heart with so much joy. Today was her graduation day, and she had finally gotten her masters in medicine, feeling extremely accomplished the only down side of today was the fact that her fiancé and best friend weren’t here to celebrate with her due to work.
But knowing she would see Aoi tonight at her bachelorette party and Hiroto tomorrow at their wedding kind of made up for it. After taking pictures, saying goodbye to her classmates and having dinner with her family Kasumi and her sisters sent their parents home. Arriving at the hotel Kasumi and her sisters were met by Aoi was checking in “hey! I’m soooo sorry I had to miss your graduation” she pouted as she ran up to hug Kasumi, causing Kaori to give the female a disgusting look before turning to Kaiya who mugged the female. Knowing that neither one of her sisters like Aoi and only tolerated her for her sake, Kasumi ignored them and hugged Aoi back. Hooking arms with Kasumi, Aoi led the way to the hotel room with Kaori and Kaiya trailing behind the two.
Once the bachelorette party came to an end Kaori and Kaiya had left to go home, while Kasumi laid slumped over on the couch and Aoi went to call Hiroto to come and get Kasumi. Fifteen minutes later Hiroto arrived and went to the room Aoi told them they were, stepping inside he found a drunk Kasumi sound asleep on the couch. “Must have been a wild night” he commented as he bent down and moved a strand of hair behind her ear, “Hiroto...” an alluring voice called startling him. Turning in the direction of the voice, he was met with Aoi who quickly threw herself onto him seductively rubbing up and down his chest with a devilish smile plastered on her face.
“Aoi you know we can’t do anything, especially while Kasumi is sleep” he whispered trying to pry the female off of him whole glancing back to make sure that Kasumi had not woken up. “But babe, she’s passed out drunk she isn’t going to wake up” she whined, placing a kiss on his neck “plus I really, really want you so bad” she purred as she continued to trail kisses along his neck before playing her lips onto his which turned into a full blown make out session in front of a sleeping Kasumi. But what Aoi and Hiroto fail to realize is that Kasumi wasn’t sleep, she wasn’t even as drunk as she claimed to be.
Listening to the disgusting sounds of Hiroto and Aoi making out, Kasumi held down the puke that threaten to release itself as she continued to listen to the two people she thought she could trust. “Let’s take this to the bathroom, you love that don’t you?” Hiroto suggested as he started pulling Aoi towards the bathroom, “go ahead and start the water babe I’ll be there shortly” she spoke sweetly giving him one last kiss as she watched him go into the bathroom. Turning back to look at Kasumi with a sinister smile etch across her face bent down to Kasumi’s ear “Hiroto is mine and I refuse for the two of you to get marry, just you wait Kasumi, I will have what was always meant to mines” she whispered before walking to the bathroom and shutting the door behind her.
After five minutes Kasumi got up from the couch, hearing moans and grunts coming from the bathroom, she turned her face up in disgust as she fought the urge to bust in there and catch them in the act. Quickly gathering her things she swiftly and quietly made her way out of the room. Pulling her phone out she quickly sent a text to the group chat consisting her, Kaori, Kaiya and Mayumi, hoping that one of the three were still up. Finally outside of the hotel, she hailed a taxi, sliding in she gave the driver the address to her apartment. The whole ride to her apartment, Kasumi starting thinking of her next move, after somewhat witnessing what Kaori and the rest of the girl were hinting at, the only think she could do was blame herself for not reading the room or taking notice sooner.
If she had she probably wouldn’t be dealing with this dilemma to begin with, but what’s done is done and Kasumi knew that she definitely wasn’t going to marry Hiroto. Once she arrived at her apartment, Kasumi’s phone rang, glancing at the caller ID it was Kaori who was calling. “You okay?, Did you make it home?” Kaori started questioning, not allowing Kasumi to get a word in.
“Would you shut up and let me talk!” she shouted into the phone, making Kaori stop mid-sentence.
“Look can I come and stay over at your place, I’ll explain everything once I get there I just need to grab my things as quickly as possible” she spoke hastily making sure she said everything she needed before Kaori bombarded her with more questions, giving Kasumi the okay, the sisters hung up with Kaori saying she would be in five while Kasumi grabbed her things. Turning the lights on she looked around the place that held so many happy memories for her but was destroyed tonight after discovering Hiroto infidelity and with her best friend at that. Knowing she only had a few minutes before her sister arrived she grabbed her duffle bag and started gathering her essentials, stopping briefly as she stared at the photo frame that held a picture of her and Hiroto on their first date, she grabbed the picture frame glaring at it as an urge to throw it across the room and shatter it into pieces rose. But she didn’t, not wanting to raise any suspicions when Hiroto came home and find her gone she set the frame back down on the coffee table.
Hearing the sound of a car horn, Kasumi knew that Kaori had just pulled up. Double checking to make sure she had everything she needed she locked the apartment up and made her way outside to her sister’s truck. Throwing her back in the back seat, she hopped up into the passenger seat and buckled up herself up. Glancing over at Kaori, not being able to hold it in any longer “y-you were right all along” she announced just before breaking down in front of her twin. Realizing what her twin meant, Kaori reached over and hugged her sister trying to console her as much as possible. As much as she wished she wasn’t right, Kaori always had an inkling feeling about Aoi, making sure she was already she went back to her original position and pulled off heading to her house as Kasumi told her everything that happened back at the hotel.
A little after midnight.
On the east side of Tokyo, a sense of heaviness filled the air as heavy gray clouds obscured the sky. Light rain pouring down, pinging against the glass window of a black luxury limousine, on the inside of that limousine sat a shadowy figure, glaring at the scene that was taking place on his laptop screen. Seething with rage as the scene continued to unfold in front of him, after a few more minutes of watching Akashi slammed his screen down, throwing the laptop across the backseat. he felt disgusting after listening and seeing his fiancé Ichika all over another male. But it wasn’t the fact that she was making love to another man, oh no Akashi she Ichika was slut the day he met her no but really boiled his blood was the fact that this bitch thought he could pull one over him.
Listening to her explaining her plan to her lover of how she planned on duping Akashi and his family of their money and ruining their reputation due to some old family rivalry, pissed him smooth the fuck off. Crossing his right leg over his left Akash began to plot out his next move, he knew that there were a couple of ways could go about this. On one hand he could publicly break off their engagement and humiliate her to the public but then there was the possibility of her family hiring someone to try and get close to him and his family, and trust was something hard for Akashi to do, with his wealth and status he was never sure of who he could and couldn’t trust which is why he kept most people at an arm length except for those that he grew up with.
Thinking about that his trust issue made him even more angry to know that three years were wasted on him spending his time with Ichika just for her to turn around and betray him, time that he wouldn’t be able to get back. Another option would be to hire someone to just make her and her family disappear but he felt that would be too simple and easy and for his last option would be to find someone else marry, at least that way Ichika wouldn’t be entitled to any of his and his family assets, but who could he find on such short notice, not to mention it would have to be someone he could trust that would betray him like Ichika did.
“Boss, where would you like to go now?” Aiko, his driver asked, causing Akashi to emerge from his thoughts, knowing that if he went home he wouldn’t be able to control his anger and end up doing something drastic and irritational. Grabbing his phone and went to his contacts scrolling through until he landed on Midorima’s name, pressing the call button he waited for his friend to answer, hoping that the male was still up at this hour of the night. Knowing how intelligent Midorima is, he would be the one to help him figure out what to do next with this situation.
“Hello” a monotonous voice answered, indicating that Midorima had finally picked up the phone. “Are you home? I need to speak with you, it’s urgent” Akashi responded as he signal for Aiko to drive toward Midorima’s house. “I’m at Aomine’s house with Aya, so come here if you need me” he reply, hearing Aomine in the background asking Midorima who he was talking to and inviting over to his house. Akashi gave Aiko the command to go to Aomine’s house “I’ll be there shortly” he spoke before disconnecting the call. Placing his phone in his suit pocket, he closed his eyes while Aiko drove to the destination. Thirty minutes later, he arrived at Aomine’s house, waiting for Aiko to come around and open the door for him, Akashi took a deep breath as she stepped out of the car, seeing many vehicles parked he wondered if Aomine and his wife thrown a party and didn’t invite him due to his fiancé. Standing in front of the door, Akashi rang the doorbell, awaiting for Aomine or his wife Kaori to open the door.
Suddenly the door swung open revealing Aomine, who welcomed his former captain, Akashi pushed passed him and stepped inside the house immediately looking for Midorima “who pissed in your cereal?” he questioned noticing his grim demeanor, any other time Akashi would greet the other party back as a sign of manners, but Akashi was still furious about Ichika and her plans. Once in the living room Akashi notice that Midorima wasn’t the only one here, but so were the rest of his former teammates and Kagami as well as their significant others.
“Why are you all here? he inquired, as he glanced around the room at each individual seated. “Kasumi stumbled upon a betrayal tonight” Kaiya answered, “the real question is what’s going on with you? Shouldn’t you be preparing for a wedding tomorrow? Kaori asked as she folded her arms across her chest, with one brow raised. Not ready to speak about his discovery of Ichika, Akashi ignored Kaori’s question completed and turned his attention back to Kaiya ready to ask a follow-up question “what’s going?” he asked concern laced in his voice. Before anyone could say anything “Kasumi found out Hiroto had been cheating on her!” Kise blurted out causing everyone to glare at the blonde including his girlfriend. “And with her best friend!” Takao spoke up from the floor, causing everyone to turn their attention to him “where the hell did you come from? and how did you get in my house?” Aomine asked, confused on how they didn’t see him here.
At that moment Kasumi wished she could run away from the humiliation she felt in that moment that her business had been broadcasted in front of the Akashi Seijuro. Although were never close they did hang in the same group of friends and during social event the two would even talk occasional from time to time and she held a lot of respect for Akashi even though he come off intimidating. Lifting her head a little so she could glance at the male, but quickly looked down, unable to meet the male’s eyes, as she pressed her lips together tightly. Staring at Kasumi, Akashi could tell that the female was embarrassed, thinking of a way to make the situation less awkward, he cleared his throat as a way to get the female attention “Well...looks like we meet again, Kasumi.”
