❝ I'm not tagging along because I like you or anything, @proudfighter ! ❞ And if she does, who even cares ( she knows he doesn't ). ❝ I - I'm doing it because ━━ ❞ C'mon Akane, think of an excuse, a great one that won't make him suspect anything. ❝ Because my father ordered me to ! ❞ Not entirely wrong yet more than an order it had been a SUGGESTION.
His monthly trip for an intense weekend of training has come and just like before she wishes to go. Behind her rough exterior Akane shows her tenderness in the constant concern she holds for the other, worrying endlessly on her mind though never saying it out loud. She wants to make sure he'll be SAFE AND SOUND from beginning to end, a guarantee that everything will work out regardless of the adversities they come across to. Perhaps if he knew of such thoughts, he wouldn't be so reluctant to let her join. . .
❝ I WON'T COOK this time so you can rest assured. ❞ A slight frown mixed with a flustered look is all she has to offer. ❝ And Kasumi packed enough food for the three of us. ❞ Yes, three, of course Mr. Saotome was going to be with them. ❝ Hey ! Are you even listening ? ! ❞
STARTER CALL.
