The Adventure of Taiga and Tatsuya part 3

As Kagami went over to Himuro, he lowered his voice and said, "Look at me, and don't take your eyes off me. The police are looking at us."

"Eh?"

"At the corner to the right behind you, there is a police car. They're probably watching us."

Kagami nervously tried to look behind.

"I told you, the police are watching us," Himuro warned, and Kagami turned his head back.

"Why are they watching us?"

"Didn't I told you? It's to prevent crime. If they find out where we are going, we'll be brought back home by the police."

"Really?! What should we do then …?"

"Taiga, calm down. Work with me."

"W-w-work with you?"

Kagami fails to calm down. Hearing his nervous question, Himuro suddenly moves away from him, creating a distance between them. For some reason, he rubbed his eyes and said loudly, "Great! There's no dust in my eyes."

"HAA?!"

The unexpected remark made Kagami's eyes grow wide in surprise. He stares at Himuro with his mouth wide open.

"Lets go home, then."

"Ehhhh?!"

Kagami is even more surprised now, with his eyes threatening to pop out of its sockets. Leaving Kagami behind, Himuro made towards the direction of home. Or rather, push his bicycle towards the row of houses they went past earlier. It looks like he is really going home.

"Ta-Tatsuya?! EH?? Ah…!"

It was then that Kagami finally realized. Himuro is putting on an act. He had only pretended to go home to shake off the police. Even after understanding Himuro's intentions. However, Kagami still had no idea what he has to do. Looking at Kagami who is now standing there motionless, Himuro sighed. He stop his bicycle at one side and goes back to where Kagami is standing.

"I know you haven't had enough play time, but we should head back. I'll push the bike for you, so get off." Himuro held onto the handle.

"..."

Since Kagami had no idea how he should respond, Himuro ask him, "Alright?"

So far, Kagami had not say a single word, except to nods his head, and hastily comes down from his bicycle.

Himuro's hand, who is about to reach for the bicycle handlebar, comes in contact with Kagami's hand that is still holding the bicycle handlebar.

"!"

Himuro's hand is as cold as ice. Kagami breathe a sigh relieves from the tension. He looks at Himuro who had now taken over his bicycle and starts walking towards the housing area.

"Well then. Lets go."

Himuro pushed the bicycle along and starts walking into a red house. Laughter comes from inside the house. It seems like someone is still inside the house.

"It'll be OK right?… Tatsuya…!"

Kagami, who is following behind Himuro, is so nervous that his hands become damp with cold sweat and his heartbeat is gradually increasing. The two of them stopped at the hedgerow. Any further and it would be considered as illegal trespassing. Himuro stopped the bicycles and reached towards the doors in between of the hedgerow. Kagami is so nervous that he become stiff. At the same time, they finally hear the sound of the police car leaving.

"..."

Himuro put his hand down.

"… It seems like they finally left." Himuro let out a long sigh.

"… Its… Alright now?" Kagami seems tired and his voice was hoarse as he took the bicycle back from Himuro.

"Un. It seems like we made it." Himuro took his bicycle and back out of the driveway, before heading back to the path.

"I thought I am going to have a heart attack."

Kagami leans on the handles.

"I didn't expect the police to have their eyes on us."

"Them, having their eyes on us was faster than I had expected."

"HAA?" Kagami looks up at Himuro, surprise.

"Tatsuya… Don't tell me… You're already expecting this?!"

"Un, because riding on bicycles is too conspicuous."

Furthermore, since they are two Japanese boys being alone, they are bound to be target by kidnappers. Which is why, being eyed by the police would be expected.

"It's great, to think that my countermeasure for the police would work out this smoothly!"

Facing such a reply, Raising his voice Kagami asked in disbelief, "You even thought of a countermeasure for this?!?!"

"Un. Otherwise, how could I acted this naturally?"

"… From the start, you were thinking of tricking the police?"

"Don't say 'trick', it sounds terrible." Unhappy, Himuro pursed his lips and left on his bicycle, leaving Kagami behind.

Kagami hurriedly get on his bicycle in a bid to catch up with Himuro. While Kagami furiously pounds on his pedals, he looks at Himuro's back. While looking at his back, Kagami knew that even now, he is still being cautious. Himuro paid attention to his surroundings and is alert to any slight movements. Even though Kagami knew that Himuro would resort to anything to reach his goals, he didn't think that Himuro would think of ways to escape from the clutches of the police.

For a moment, looking at the guy who is in front of him, Kagami felt is a sense of pride, he is proud of Himuro, slowly he felt a warmth inside him.

he actually though and planed through to this extend, it really isn't easy! Kagami increase his speed, and rode side by side Himuro.

"As expected of Tatsuya - you're really amazing!" Kagami gave Himuro a slap on the back.

"It hurts -!" Himuro lost his balance and starts tilting to a side.

"What are you doing, Taiga?"

Finally, Himuro managed to stabilize himself, and glared at Kagami reproachfully. Kagami, however, did not seem to mind, and beamed at him.

"I'm touched! Tatsuya, you're amazing!"

"Hah?"

"You actually managed to trick the police! Its amazing! Really!"

Seeing the beaming Kagami, Himuro said, "Calm down, Taiga…" to no avail.

"… How is that amazing? That was terrible acting," Himuro's reasons to justify himself was drowned out by Kagami's cheers, "Tatsuya is really amazing! I'm really happy to have a brother like Tatsuya!" stating this Kagami grinned widely. Kagami's grin was unpretentious and sincere, Himuro could not help but smile.

"Now, really, Taiga. You…" Himuro laughed, happy yet a little shy, "I am just lucky to overcome those obstacle each time .

Without hesitating to leave the confused Kagami behind, Himuro sped off on his bicycle.

[ A/N: This is from the novel instead of manga , well I feel like an idiot re- reading the manga then copying their conversation but after I search some more, there is already a novel about this and is titled: Kagami's childhood or something. And yeah, I already have the draft of the MC's improvement after training for few weeks but its incomplete yet I feel like something is still missing something but I don't know if I get struck by another inspiring thought.]
