If any of you read my last a/n you'd know I'd taken a break from 'Tomboy' and am currently making different SHORTER stories. If you have suggestions feel free to comment.

You stared out the window watching the nature.........do absolutely nothing. But anything was better than the history lesson you were having right now.

You looked back at the teacher who was reading aloud from a thick ancient book. His hands were flapping about trying the gesture parts of the story but really looked like he was trying desperately to fly. You laughed lightly at the thought of your teach with wings.

Suddenly you heard a gasp. You turned around to see the boy behind you looking at his phone with a face filled with horror. His name, as far as you knew, was Akita. He was antisocial and engrossed in his books 24/7 it surprised you that he even owned a phone.

He began muttering curses and seemed in panic but was too much of a goody two shoes to ask to be excused. You turned around to face him. He looked up to see your puzzled expression. "S...sorry," he began but you shook your head.

"No sweat, you're doing a better job of drowning out the teacher than my music." You smiled. "So what's wrong?" He didn't say anything, you'd forgotten he didn't talk much. But then you had an idea.

You handed him your new moleskine notebook and fountain pen. "You're worried about getting caught right?" He nodded while avoiding eye contact with you. "Use this notebook and write down the problem. I'll try help!" He looked at you nervously before slowly accepting the book and pen scribbling down at lightning speed.

You watched him your mouth agape. 'How is it possible to write that fast?!' You thought to yourself, gasping.

"Miss (l/n) I do not wish to see the back of your head, and I'm also sure Mr Imoto ( so that was his name!) does not want to see your face staring at him while he is trying to focus on his studies! Now if you please, turn around and focus so he does not have to see your face again!"

The class sniggered at you but you just scoffed and turned around. Much to your surprise Akita didn't make a sound, he just looked out the window, blushing slightly.

As you turned around you felt something poking your side. Looking down you saw your moleskine notebook and opened it up to the first page (where you told Akita to write).

You were amazed at how neat his handwriting was even when he was writing at such a pace. It read;

I received a text from an unknown number to meet them at the warehouse near the pier. It said that they had my sister and if I didn't give them £1000 I'd never see her again. I don't want to lose my sister but I don't have that kind of money. I know you might not be able to help but I don't know what to do in these situations! I'm helpless and need you. Please?

Your eyes widened. What a horrible thing to have happened. You couldn't help but feel sorry and reply 'yes' but then something came into mind.

What about your parents? Don't you want to contact them? Maybe they can help us pay the ransom!

He seemed disheartened by what you wrote. You were confused, 'did he think he would get in trouble with his parents?' You thought. Your thought changed when you read his reply.

I don't have parents. I'm an orphan and live in the orphanage by the bridge. They're low on money already and I don't wish to trouble them, especially after all they've done for me and my sister.

You nodded in understanding before smiling.

I'll help you! Let's get to the bottom of this!

You wrote and went back to the lesson. After what seemed hours of boringness the bell finally rang for lunch. When you heard that sweet, sweet sound you jumped up from your seat and grabbed Akita by the wrist, taking him to the rooftop.

You paced back and forth trying to figure out what to do, then you remembered something; "Imoto-kun I know your shy but I need you talk as much as you possibly can to everyone not just me! It's important you do so!" You said pressurising the poor boy.

Sweat dropped down his forehead and you could see the panic forming in his mind. He gulped so deep he practically swallowed the lump in his throat. You realised how mean you were being to him; he'd been through a lot and you're not making the situation any better.

You sat by his side and took his hand "I'm sorry I sounded really harsh just then, you don't have to pressure yourself, I'll do the talking if you want." He looked at you as if to say 'why the sudden change?' You squeezed his hand "you can trust me,".

The rest of he day after school you dedicated your time to helping Akita. You used your amazing hacking skills to trace the location of the number. While you were at it you found out a lot.

The texter's name was Mr Hisaishi Rei, he'd been in contact with the Imoto family before but they didn't hit off well. He disliked the family and is in search of revenge. You also found out about his motives and past but you wished to keep that from Akita, it was hard enough on him already. On the plus side, you were able to hack into his bank account and obtain the £1000 ransom.

A little later you and Akita went to the warehouse. "Over there come on," you pointed to a man in a suit. Akita was carrying a bag full of the ransom money while you were holding the ransom note and a pocket knife.

"Ah Mr Akita Imoto, you decided to show up huh? And I presume this is your girlfriend? Though I am slightly surprised you have one." You both blushed bright at his last remark.

"She is most certainly not my girlfriend. (L/n) (f/n) is just a friend I brought to keep me company." He stuttered, you felt saddened by the comment even though it was the truth- to a certain extent. He laughed before abruptly stopping and gesturing you both to follow him. You looked at Akita who was clenching his fists, straining himself from lashing out onto Mr Hisaishi.

You wriggled your hand into his fist and he loosened it. "Your sister is more important than revenge Imoto-kun, let's get this done and over with first." He took a deep breath and nodded. He let go of your hand and walked into the warehouse. "Where's my sister?" He murmured, a sinister feel lingering in his voice.

"That depends I expect you have my money?" He smirked. Akita held onto the bag but it was snatched away from him by Mr Hisaishi. "I'll have that thank you!" Akita's fists clenched again.

"I've given you your stinkin money so now WHERE'S MY SISTER?!" He growled in a vile tone. Both you and Mr Hisaishi were shocked by his change of attitude. "That will happen in time but I have to do some things with you first." Now you were the annoyed one, "That wasn't part of the deal!" You shouted. He ignored your presence and pushed you to the side.

Luckily it was where he had locked up the younger Imoto sibling. You scrambled towards her. "Who are you?! Are you working with than mean man?" She was shaking, clearly she had gone through something horrible. You cut off the ropes she'd been tied up with and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"It's ok. I'm a friend of your brother. I'm here to save you." She looked up at you and gasped "my brother has friends?!" You couldn't help but laugh before replying with a nod. "I'm Imoto Hana!" You introduced yourself and took her hand leading her to where her brother was.

You both walked into the most horrific sight ever.

Akita was on the floor covered with blood almost everywhere on his body. Tears were streaming down his face and he gave you a dirty look.

"HOW COULD YOU?! YOU KNEW ABOUT MY PARENTS BUT DIDN'T TELL ME?! I TRUSTED YOU! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!" He shrieked. Hana began to cry and so did you.

Mr Hisaishi had killed his parents when Akita and Hana were small. It was an act of revenge after they had stolen his chance to get his dream job. They ended up being successful and rich while he became poorer and poorer. He loathed them ever since and went to the extremes of exploding a whole boat just to kill them. Unfortunately, the Imoto children survived and he needed to get rid of them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want you to be afraid and run away from your sister." You sobbed. "Why would you think I'd ever do such a thing?! You know perfectly well how much I love my sister!" You couldn't reply. Your throat was dry. You just cried your eyes out but then Hana tugged at your shirt.

Akito was staring at you and didn't realise Mr Hisaishi with his gun pointing towards him. You couldn't let this happen. You yanked Hana's arm off your shirt and ran to Akito.

"AKITA MOVE!!" You shouted pushing him away from the gunshot. Luckily both of you weren't harmed.

"Stupid stupid girl! You shouldn't stick your nose in business that doesn't concern you. Should I make sure you never do it again?" Mr Hisaishi had his gun pointing towards just you now.

You pushed Akita towards his sister. "You and Hana get to safety. I'll handle this!" Before he could protest, your lips met his, "Don't argue, if I win it will count as my apology gift, and if you get lucky you'll never see me again! NOW GO!" He dragged Hana to the door and went outside the warehouse but no further. He whipped out his cellphone and dialled the police.

"Brave move but after I kill you I'll come after them." He'd lead you to the top floor. You couldn't deny you were scared but in order to protect the Imoto family you were willing. "After you kill me you'll be arrested, trust me." Your voice said proudly but quietly. You held out your pocket knife in a defensive way and Mr Hisaishi laughed just as you planned. "You expect to get me with that?!" While he was laughing you ran up to him and pushed him onto a crate held up by a pulley.

"No," you smirked. "I expect to get you with this!" You leaned forward and cut the rope pulley. He began falling but grabbed your wrist pulling you down. You held onto a platform and watched the crate shatter under your very eyes. You lost grip and dropped down but from a less violent height. You looked at Mr Hisaishi his chest moving up and down with his breath. "He's not dead," you panted.

Suddenly you heard the sound of a siren. It was the police. They kicked open the doors and ran in. They handcuffed the unconscious criminal and slammed him into their vehicle. "You have done very well Miss, be proud." One of them said before getting in and driving away. You saw Hana running towards you and giving you a hug.

"I thought big sis was gonna die!" She wailed. "Why aren't you home? Where's your brother?!" You said concerned. She pointed to the doors where you could make out the slight shape of his figure. "He was REALLY worried about you so he called the police and didn't go home." You smiled at that, you hadn't expected that at all.

"Thank you" you whispered before heading out the building. You three sat in the pier, watching as more police arrived blocking off the warehouse area. You all were silent apart from Hana who was playing around with a butterfly.

You looked at the face who was avoiding eye contact with you at all costs. Your eyes started to tear up again. "I'm really sorry Akita-kun. I'm so so sorry." You cried. He glanced at you. "What for?" You looked at him in disbelief. "For lying, hiding, keeping secrets, and more importantly not dying." He looked at your scrunched up face covered with tears and sighed.

"In the end you did save my life, so let's say we're even," he said. You shook your head telling him that you couldn't forgive yourself. "Don't forgive yourself then, Hana forgives you and I forgive you and that should be all that matters." You hugged him and sobbed softly as he comforted you. When you finally calmed down he changed the topic.

"So uh earlier, what was that about?" He asked blushing slightly. You hoped he wasn't talking about what you thought he was. "A lot happened earlier, be specific." His cheeks turned a darker shade of red. "Y'know the uh kiss...." He trailed off. He was talking about what you thought he was.

"It was to make you shut up and let me save you." You said, flustered. "Mhmm." He replied in disbelief. You scoffed. "You like me don't you?" You blushed like mad and tried to protest but couldn't.

You ended up pushing him and almost shouting, "I liked you better when you were shy and didn't talk much!" You stammered. Much to your surprise, he laughed and pecked your cheek. "Your the one who wanted me to change!" He added. You screamed at him before running away - smiling gently to yourself. 'Maybe I like him better now,' you thought as you cupped you cheek.
