Shooting Towards Love
Prologue: Changing Gears
Outside the Subaru Residence (Past)
"SUBARUU! ARE YOU READY TO GO YET?", shouted a 9 year old kid with black messy hair and blue eyes wearing a shirt with the number 7 on it, a pair of black shorts and blue sneakers, he currently had a basketball ball on hand, and was waiting for his best friend, Hasegawa Subaru, then the door opened
"I'm coming already, just wait some moments geez…", said another 9 year old kid with straight brown hair and brown eyes while wearing a shirt with the number 4 on it, a pair of blue short and blue sneakers, he currently was lacing his sneakers, and behind him were his parents, a woman who was in her mid-20s who had long brown hair and brown eyes, and besides her a tanned man who looked exactly like the kid but more older
"Oh?, Kazuki! Yo! How is your father doing?", said the tanned man while raising his hand and smiling
"Well Dad is still resting a little bit in bed!"
"HAHAHA, That Alex he got so hot-headed in our last match"
"Yeah I heard, but Dad just keeps saying that he will beat you, I even heard him muttering that in his sleep"
"OH! Then I will gladly accept his challenge again!", said the tanned man while pumping his fist in the air, "Okay, Subaru take care and have a good match", then he said to Subaru while ruffling his hair
"Geez, I know Dad and don't worry I'll have tons of fun because you know it's basketball", said Subaru to his Dad, then he ran to where Kazuki was, "Dad, Mom I will see you later", he said while waving at both his parents, "Let's go Kazuki we need to practice"
"Okay!", then the two of them started running off, Ahhh what a nice dream, I literally am crying of nostalgia right now *sniff* *sniff*
"Wedner-san"
Those days when the only thing we could think about is basket, ever since we were little Subaru and me have been best friends and rivals, because of our dad's hobby of basket
"Wedner-san!"
I really want to play basket again, hmm maybe I will go to the public basket field they have on me and Subaru's usual place
"WEDNER-SAN!"
Nashiwa High (Present)
"Mmmm… Hm?" I then woke up from my book/pillow, I looked around and saw that the teacher was looking at me pretty pissed, "Oh… Sorry did you ask something Teacher Morikawa?" I asked dripping the drool I had on my face
"I was asking you what does this mean in English" he then pointed to the board "but you were so peaceful sleeping that I didn't want to interrupt your sleep Wedner-san"
"Oh yeah? Thank you Sensei" I then gave him a smile and rubbed the back of my head, "and about the thing in the board the sentence in Japanese would be "Takashi has been going to the gym with Red and Morita on the Tuesday's morning""
"WH-WH-What? It's right, you got it right Wedner…, okay now moving on…", he then finally gave up and went to teach a little bit, about how I knew the sentence well… I have been studying many subjects these 5 years and I have to say it's a pain…
"What a nice day is today", I said looking at the sky through the window since I'm seated at the last seat in the first row, if you count from the right where the teacher is, I then saw my reflection, black messy hair, blue eyes, white skin, last time I checked I am male, I currently was wearing a blue school jacket over a white shirt and on the white shirt I had a red tie, also I had blue pants with black shoes, yeah hello Kazuki Wedner , currently 15 years old, and then the rest of the day I looked outside the window but paid attention to Math, because well… it's math!
(Time Skip)
"You sure rested Kazuki and seriously are you still studying?" said the person next to my seat, and that person was none other than…
"Hasegawa Subaru, you dare question my intelligence?" I said while standing up and putting one leg on my chair
"Oh great Kazuki Wedner I wouldn't dare to say that to you a great friend of mine" Subaru said while faking a wound to his chest, yeah sometimes we are just idiots
"Anyway, let's go don't want to miss a sale today I need to bring more groceries to my mom", I said while walking towards the door, then when we were out we started heading to the school's entrance
"Your mom sent you to buy some groceries?"
"Nah, I need to do this" I then grabbed my forehead, "she sometimes forgets to buy new groceries so I need to replenish them"
Subaru then smiled, "Haha, ever since your father went away to train she has been forgetting things a little bit hasn't she?"
"Yeah, Dad was Mom's little reminder but now that he is in some country out there he can't keep reminding her"
"So your Dad still in other country too?", Subaru said while looking a with surprised, yeah I mean he also knows why my father went away
"Yeah, I still remember him entering the dining hall with a headband that said to beat your dad" yeah that was the reason my dad went away, to train and settle the score with Subaru's Dad, he still sends us postcards and tells us he trains some people or that he trained to hard so he ended up sick
"Yeah, my dad also said that…"
""*sigh*"", we both sighed because yeah… our dads, I just hope we don't end up like that someday, I mean I had no denial to headbands they are cool maybe I should do that someday with a cigar on the mouth, and after the sigh we both laughed
"So I was planning to go some moments ago to the public basket field they have on our usual spot wanna come?"
"No… I can't today… I keep telling you that basket now has no interest to me", said Subaru while changing his face from a happy to a serious one, damn he still hasn't forgotten that?
"Hey, come on you can't just keep pushing basket away, come on just a game it will be like the old days!" I said with a smile, but Subaru's frown just grew
"Thank you, but I refuse now I'll see you tomorrow Kazuki", Subaru said while walking away, I saw him go with a serious look, then I proceeded to go to the supermarket, must! Hurry! Sale!
On my way there, I remembered what happened to Subaru, to what affected me and Subaru, Subaru and me were members of the Nashiwa High Basketball Club, but on a certain day during practice a teacher came and told us that the Basketball Club would cease club activities for a year a whole year, and the reason? It's because our club captain was after the club's advisor daughter who was an elementary school girl , so me and Subaru were pretty affected, at first I was like Subaru but I learned that I shouldn't give up so easily on my most favorite sport so after some time I started practicing again, but Subaru… he still is like that I want to help him but I can't do anything…
"Phew, finally the supermarket now to buy some groceries"
(Small Time Skip)
… and with this I finally completed my groceries quest, I then pumped my fist into the air like some game hero who had a sword in hand, I still have some money I can use for the day, maybe I should buy some pudding, yeah pudding sounds good, then I made my way to the pudding corner
"Oh, there it is", I found you my precious pudding and it's the last one, oh where were you pudding of mine, I then reached to grab it but..
"A-Awawa", said some girly voice, just as I was about to reach the last pudding, my hand touched someone's hand, and then it cried like that, "I-I'm so sorry", the girl said to me while bowing
"Hey, no need to apologize, it was partly my fault I didn't see you there", I said to the girl, I then looked at the girl, brown short hair reddish eyes, and was about my height, which is 173 cm or almost 6 feet tall, she had nice curves, oh nice breasts…
"B-But it's my fault you also wanted this pudding and…", she kept apologizing
"Hey no need to feel so bad, and don't worry about the pudding take it"
"N-No I can't do that, I would feel bad it's yours please take it"
"No you please take it, it's yours"
"N-No yours", if this keeps going, I will seriously run, wait…
"Okay, then it's mine"
"O-okay, then…"
"I can do anything I want with this pudding then?" I said while throwing the pudding up a little bit then catching it, the girl just nodded a very shy nod, whoa how cutee!, "then here I give it to you", then I handed the pudding to the girl
"E-E-Eh? But this is-!", she said alarmed while trying to hand me the pudding, I just smiled
"Yeah, that is why I wanna give the pudding to you, because I want to", I said still smiling to the girl, then I proceeded to leave, "just consider it a gift cute girl", I then ruffled her hair a bit before leaving
"T-T-T…." I could hear the girl stuttering her words, but now I have to hurry home and do some homework, ugh math homework
"Later, cute girl", I said finally leaving and smiling
(The next day)
Rooftop, Nashiwa High
"*sigh*" Subaru and me are currently in the School's rooftop on lunch time, we were leaning against the railing and I was drinking some milk, while Subaru was eating his bento
"That is one hell of a sigh Subaru, what's up Miho-nee chasing you in your dreams?", I said joking, Miho-nee is Subaru's aunt and she is one hell of an aunt, she is in her mid-20s with a purple-ish long hair, I heard she is teaching at some elementary school, poor kids, anyway the deal with her is that she is really really mischievous, sometimes she pulled pranks on us
"What?! Please do not talk about it, now today I will probably dream that, and no it's something she asked me to do for her… *sigh*", then Subaru's shoulders dropped, is it really that depressing?
"What did she ask you to do? Assault a candy factory?"
"*smirk* Well, she asked me…. You know what I'll tell you later, I just have to do it for three days starting today"
"Hmm? Well if you don't want to tell me it's okay, and don't worry if they question you" I then gave him a thumbs up and smiled, "I will be your main witness"
"Haha, may as well help me, but sorry today after school I have to rush to that place and also tomorrow and the day after tomorrow"
"Whoa, sounds important just remember to do it right okay Subaru? I don't want my rival to hurt himself before we continue our matches" I then moved my fist forward, Subaru smiled and brofisted me
"Of course"
*Ding* *Dong*
"Oh the bell, come on let's go!" I said leaving the rooftop with Subaru, "what is next?"
"History" Subaru said with a depressed face, yeah I know how you feel Subaru but with Math
"Haha, hey you can do it, anyway good luck after school"
"Yeah, Thank you, good luck on your run"
(Time Skip)
Near the Riverbed
I'm currently trying to catch my breath, well because I ran like crazy for two hours straight around the city, why? Because I thought I would need more stamina and more leg strength for my future basketball matches
"Maybe I could sleep right here" I said as I lied on the grass, "but no I don't want to see a girl with a strange script to approach me" I then sat straight, but really if this exercise tired me, then I still need to work out for when the Basketball club starts again, the legendary Subaru-Kazuki duo's comeback, I stretched my arms and was about to leave when..
"Hasegawa-san was really a nice coach!"
"Yeah, I just hope Subaru teaches some kind of special techniques"
"Maho calm yourself, Hasegawa-san is not a super coach like those from the movies he is a normal person"
"Ohhh~ Hina thinks Onii-chan is cool"
"I just hope I didn't cause any trouble for Hasegawa-san"
"Don't worry Airi, I know Subaru will forgive you"
I then heard some Elementary school girls say…. H-H-Hasegawa? Subaru? Eh? Eh? EHHHH?! Did Subaru finally join the lolicon side? If so then…
"I must be the first to laugh at him" I said as I raised my fist into the air, but well let's not be a bad friend, I will be the only one laughing at him, "but still coaching? Is that the thing he told me earlier? Man, Miho-nee must have one hell of a reason to do that to Subaru" it finally may be the chance to return his love for the basketball, well then I'll follow him tomorrow for my own amusement
(Next Day)
School Gate of Nashiwa High
"Okay then later Subaru and remember to lend me that game next time"
"Yeah, later Kazuki and remember the last time I lent you a game?"
"Eh? N-No haha..ha"
"You launched the damn disk out of the window"
"Ugh… anyway later" I then walked to the left, then I heard Subaru laugh, one of these days buddy one of these days, then I stopped then turned around and saw Subaru was about to leave a corner, "Operation Follow Mr Grumpy"
(Small Time Skip)
I then saw Subaru turn near an academy's gate, he then talked to the guard and he let him in, damn now how do I enter?, welp let's see how this goes, I proceeded to walk towards the same guard
"Can I please enter?" I asked trying to sound as calm as possible
"What business do you have here?"
"I'm here to deliver something to a friend of mine, his name is Hasegawa Subaru"
"Ahhh, Mihoshi-sensei's nephew?" he then turned around and I swear I heard him sigh, so not just me and Subaru have to deal with her mischief?, I can totally see Miho-nee conquering the world while having cat ears and eating donuts, then finally the door opened, "Stay as long as you want kid, just don't give me trouble"
"Yessir", I saluted at him, and finally I entered the crime scene, "Keishin Elementary School? Isn't this school really prestigious? Who the hell did Miho-nee blackmail", then I felt a chill on my back, I should probably stop bad mouthing Miho-nee, "Now where is Mr. Grumpy? Oh, there he is!" I saw him turn the corner then I ran while still hiding, and finally I saw him entering a gym, I waited for a while in case something happened, then I ran to the door
"Okay, now girls let's start with some stretches"
"Okay!" I heard 5 voices shout, okay time to laugh at Subaru, I then grabbed the handle and slid the door, I swear the moment I slid the door it shined…
"Yo! Subaru! How is it going!" I shouted while making my entrance, man I should have rolled then raised both my hands to the sky, and confetti on the background
"K-KAZUKI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
"Oh, you know I followed you here and…"
*THUD*
"Ouch, why did you hit me" I said while rubbing my head, it's official his name is Grumpy Spartan
"Why did you follow me?"
"To know where you were going?" Then he raised his fist again, "WHOA, stop I was just curious about what the thing Miho-nee asked you to do okay?"
"*sigh* No wonder I felt someone stalking me, you really do a bad job you know that" Subaru said, I knew it I needed my fake moustache!
"Gee, thanks for the compliment Mr. Grumpy"
"Shut up, Mr. Idiot"
"Who are you calling an Idiot, History Man?"
"Who are you calling History Man, Math man?!" then I was about to fight with him once more but unfortunately…
"H-Hasegawa-san do you know this person?" said a girl with short purple hair she had it tied with a small black ribbon, who was wearing a gym shirt and some shorts
"Oh, this guy, unfortunately yes I do know this guy" Subaru said to the girl while massaging his forehead, am I really annoying?... yeah probably, "he is my best friend Kazuki Wedner, a freshman in the same school as me"
"Yo! How is it going girls?" I then proceeded to say, while raising my hand in an informal way of talking, "My name is Kazuki Wedner, nice to meet you"
"AH!" I heard someone shout, I turned to the source of the shout and saw the girl I gave the pudding 2 days ago
"Oh, it's you!" I said surprised because yeah, I can't believe I found her here, "Yo! Pudding Girl, how is it going?" I said smiling
"O-Oh well fine…" she said very shy, yeah shy girls are definitely the best, but wait if she is here then is she an elementary school girl?! But she is way too tall!
"Oh, is this the guy Airin was talking about?" said a blonde girl with twin tails, with the same attire as the first girl, I see she is the hyper of the group…
"Ohhh~ it's the pudding Onii-chan" said a really small girl with long pink hair, with the same attire as the girls but what was different is that she was the only one wearing red bloomers, she talks slowly but cute so maybe, even if it sounds harsh, she is the mascot of the group
"Hm? Oh the guy Airi kept talking about 2 days ago and here we were wondering how he looked like" said a girl with long blue hair with a blue headband while showing her forehead and wearing some sport glasses with the same attire as the other girls, probably she is the brains of this group, interesting group definitely interesting
"Ehh~? So she kept talking about me?" I said while putting my arms behind my head, "Then the pudding must have been good, glad you liked it!"
"Y-Yeah! It was really delicious thank you very much" she said while bowing to me and smiling
"But yeah Airin kept talking about you, she kept saying "He was really kind" or "He had a really nice smile" so we just wondered how you looked" said the blonde girl while smiling and almost jumping to me
"Indeed this is the first time Airi kept talking about a guy" said the sport glasses girl, while looking at me like she was analyzing me and the girl, Airi, was getting a bit red
"Well, then here I am" I said while putting my arms on the back of my head and smiling, maybe I'll stay I mean there is no one that…
"Yeah, and you better leave" said Subaru while sighing and massaging his forehead, I know I came to bother him but am I really a bother?
"Ehh?! But Subaru we want to talk with your friend a little bit longer" said the blonde girl while attacking Subaru with the ultimate female technique: puppy eyes
Subaru then looked surprised, "Okay, he can stay" he said while ruffling his hair with his right hand, "but don't interrupt their training, okay?!" Subaru said while pointing at me, whoa yahoo I get to stay I mean it's not like I had something really interesting to do today…
"Yessir!" I said while saluting and standing straight, the girls just chuckled a bit, "then onto your training you go girls"
"Okay, Kazuki" said the blonde girl, whoa Kazuki no –san or –senpai? I then smiled a bit, this girl really likes to move around, "but before we go to training we must present ourselves"
And with that the five girls stood in front of me in a straight line, "Ke-Keishin Elementary Academy sixth grade, My name is Minato Tomoka, nice to meet you Wedner-san" said the girl with purple hair tied with a black ribbon, so sixth grade? You are in a world of trouble Subaru…
"Same here! I'm Misawa Maho! Nice to meet you, Kazuki!" said the blonde haired girl with the twin tails, I laughed a bit, yeah definitely energetic…
"I'm Nagatsuka Saki, nice to meet you Wedner-san" said the blue hair sport glasses girl, D-Did her glasses just shine now? Nah…
"I-I-I'm Kashii Airi, nice to meet you Wedner-san" said the tall girl with the short brown hair, a.k.a pudding girl but really is she in sixth grade?!, she is as tall as me! And those breasts of hers are way too big for someone on sixth grade!
"And I'm Hinata, Hakamada Hinata, nice to meet you Kazuki-oniichan" said the short pink haired girl while raising her hand, haha she is cute too, so this is the girl's basket team… Interesting, then they all bowed to me
"Nice to meet you!" they said, I just kept smiling, I wonder how strong they are and how much they can grow…
"Nice to meet you too, now onto your training if not Subaru here will start hitting me with the basket balls"
"Okay"
"Then we'll talk to you later Kazuki" Maho said really happy, then everyone nodded and finally they started running around the gym, then me and Subaru sat on the edge of the gym's stage
"So… elementary school girls"
"Yeah…"
"Miho-nee used "that", didn't she?"
"*sigh* Yeah"
I then patted him on the back, "Don't worry you have to do this just for 3 days is it not?"
"Yeah, but…" Subaru said while looking really serious, did he fell for one of them? Oh god Subaru DID join the lolicon side
"You have eyes set on someone?"
"EH? W-Well yeah I think" A-Am I hearing this right, should I call the police? No I don't think it breaks any law, I mean we ARE 15 years old and they are what 12?, but Subaru read my thoughts, "It's not what you think you idiot, I mean in basket abilities Basket!"
"Oh, sorry did you say something?"
"Put your cellphone down!"
(Small Time Skip)
The girls finally finished part of her training, I have to say, they have the abilities but they can't use it to their full extent…, and also sometimes I could feel Airi glancing at me and Hinata just turning around to look at me then smile when she did something good like she wanted to be pampered, I just gave her a smile and thumbs up…
"Tomoka, can I ask you a favor?" Subaru asked Tomoka while handing her a basket ball
"E-Eh? Okay!" Tomoka said, then she went to the 3 point space of the right side of the court, bounced the ball two times then she went 3 point position, she jumped and….
"W-W-Whoa!" I was amazed, her jump form, her shooting form, they look like she has been practicing that for many years, no wonder this girls is the Captain of this team
"Is that okay Hasegawa-san?" Tomoka said while landing and going to Subaru, Subaru just ruffled her hair and smiled
"Yeah, thanks Tomoka" Subaru said, then they walked to my position which was on front of the gym's scenario, geez no wonder Subaru said he had an eye on someone
"Nice shoot Tomoka-chan, high five!" I said while smiling to her and raising my opened up hand to her, she high fived me and then got a notebook out
"Thank you Kazuki-san, and can you please both check these training instructions?"
"Hmm? Training instructions?" Subaru said while getting a little bit closer to Tomoka in order to have a look at the notebook, I just looked at it from Tomoka's left side, this are the most basics of Basket from dribbling to shooting…
"So you've been practicing according to these instructions up until now?" Subaru asked while looking at the training instructions
"Yeah"
"Hm, not bad" Subaru said getting a little closer to look at the training instructions, does he realize he is really close to Tomoka?, "But it might be a little early to learn a 1-2 layup"
"Right"
"But studying just the basics is boring, I'll have to think about this…"
"….!" Then right on time Tomoka noticed that Subaru was really close, these two would make a good couple…
"Hmm? What is-?"
"Whoa! A training menu" A wild Maho appeared out of nowhere and hugged Subaru from behind in a piggyback position, "Hey Subaru, create a super amazing one and make us better, one that triples our level every hour, let's see if we raise our level by three every hour, practicing with two hours for three days…, ah that would be 18 levels!" whoa Maho seems in a real hurry, but anyway that is impossible to become good at basket on three days…
Subaru just gave an awkward laugh as if thinking the same thing as me, "Tell me, Subaru, how good are eighteen levels?" Maho said while getting off Subaru's back and smiled a reallyyy wide smile, "It's enough to win an inter-school tournament really easily right?"
Win an Inter-school tournament? That's really difficult on three days, even a week, but why is she in a hurry?
Subaru laughed awkwardly again, "Well, I think it's rather difficult"
"Eh?" Maho said, I looked at her and she looked really shocked and sad, but why? Why is she in such a hurry? And while I kept thinking, Subaru kept adding fuel to the fire
"Improving that much in three days is rather impossible, but if you keep giving it your all-"
"That's no good" Maho shouted, and this got the attention of everyone, I could stop this but… he's the coach, I'm just an outsider, "Impossible is not good, so why? If we play all night we could increase our levels by ten"
"That's impossible, at least one month is necessary—"
"We can't wait one month! Please Subaru…"
"Even if you ask me that…"
"T-T-Then what about you Kazuki?" Oh no… she threw the attention to me
"I'm sorry Maho, but it's just as Subaru said 3 days is crazy, and even if you did practice all night, your bodies will not withstand the pressure of the exercise" I said looking at the roof of the gym in order to avoid her painful gaze
"..! I don't care anymore" and then she ran off to somewhere, probably the locker room in order to leave early… right then at that moment everything felt really heavy so the girls left to the locker room and leave quietly, and finally Subaru went to the locker room, and I accompanied him, because well… it's awkward to be alone in the gym who knows what will appear
"Sorry to make you involved with this" Subaru said to me apologetically, whoa he does look sad, he only puts that face when he starts taking the history exam
"No need to apologize, I came here on my own free will, and I got tangled in this whole business with you, and also you know me I always want to poke a nose around here and there"
"But—!"
"Well yeah this may be different and a little bit serious but don't worry I don't cry anymore" and finally we arrived to the locker room
"*smirk* Liar, you cried when you got your Math results"
"Oh, shut up like you are any better you bastard!" Subaru just laughed, and opened a locker and was about to put his uniform on when…
*SWISH*
… a card fell from the locker
"Oh, a love letter you lolicon!" I said smirking, I should get it from him and take a photo of it so that I can laugh at him the whole day
"Ugh.. Shut up! Anyway what is this?" he then turned the letter, I got closer to take a good look and we were surprised to see that it read
"S-S-S-SEVEN DAYS?"
"*sigh*"
"You don't even have the strength to correct me?" I said looking really sad, he just shook his head
"Stop coaching the female basketball club immediately?"
"Wow, someone's has it bad with the girls" I said as I walked outside, I need to think about this
"Where are you going?"
"Outside, I want fresh air"
"Okay, I will be outside in some moments"
"Yeah, yeah"
And so I stood outside the locker room, now to think, so Maho was really pressured to quicken the pace of the training, then she said some Inter-school tournament, and finally that letter, do all of these have a connection?... Maybe… but why what exactly is in game?
"Yo! Kazuki let's go home"
"Yeah, let's go it's pretty late"
"Yeah, and Miho-nee will come pick us up"
"… WHAT?!"
(The next day)
Keishin Elementary School Entrance
"Why did you come again?"
"Hmm? To do encourage you morally?"
"You have no intention of saving me from this situation right?"
"Nope" I said while having my arms behind my head, currently we were entering the school and heading to the gym while having our usual "best friends" talk
"Hey, you two!" we heard someone shout in front of us, we looked and saw five kids that where forming a V position, the power rangers junior?
"You both are the coaches of the girls' team, right? We need to talk" the front kid said, he had blue hair and brown eyes, are they gonna kick us in our most precious parts?
"Sorry kids I'm no coach, Subaru I'll be—AGHHH"
"No you are coming with me, you like poking your nose here and there right" Subaru said while pulling me by the collar, damn me and my own damn words I hate me….
After a while we followed them and ended up, behind a building, so they are really…!
"Was it you guys who put that letter in my locker?"
"Hey you should stop coaching the girls' basketball club immediately, If you don't…" I then on the speed of light guarded my most precious parts, noooo I want to have kids you damn brat…
"You don't have to tell me, I'm going to quit coaching them today" This surprised everyone and I mean everyone, so… Subaru is going to destroy their dream? Just like us some time ago?
"Then…" then they looked at me, I then raised my hands in defense
"Hey, kids as I said I'm just an outsider I don't have anything to do with those girls" and this surprised them too, seriously kids these days get surprised with anything
"Well, the deal was three days"
"It looks like I was worried over nothing" said a kid that I don't want to describe because well, I don't think I will ever see him again…
"What's wrong with you, Takenaka? Scaring us like that…"
"Well Maho was so confident because an amazing coach and his friend arrived" I then cried anime tears, S-So I-I was demoted to friend instead of another amazing coach, note to self: be more coach-y, "She said that they would win the match for sure"
""A match?"" Subaru and me asked, so is it like I thought the inter-school was against these guys?
"An interschool match between the boys and girls basketball clubs, that's why you are coaching them right?"
"No I didn't hear anything about this…" Subaru answered, then they proceeded to look amongst themselves
"Well, if you and your friend are quitting today then it wouldn't hurt to tell you two, we have a match against them next Sunday, and we've put our right to practice in the gym on the line, we want to practice and get stronger, we did win this year's regional tournament, but we still think that we have a long way to go!" the leader, Takenaka said all this while having determination in his eyes, I 100% understand that feeling but… is it really the best thing to do?
"We want to increase the number of days we practice, however, they said that it's impossible because the girls' basketball club has to practice as well"
"Isn't it possible to practice together?" Subaru suggested, but yeah I that is a more beautiful solution
"Practicing with losers like them would be a waste of time!" Takenaka shouted, "All they do is play around!" well they ARE kids, "And when we asked our club advisor, he got in an argument with Mihoshi" … I don't even have anything to comment, "By the time we realized what was going on, it turned we were going to settle this with a match, If…"
"So, if the girls' win they use the gym as usual and if you win you use the gym more?" I said before Takenaka gets a prize of being a really long talker…
"Y-Yeah, but also they get abolished"
""!"" It seems me and Subaru got the same reaction, because well… we have been in that situation, and with that Takenaka continued
"That's a given they are just playing around after all"
"I understand your ambitions, but you shouldn't think badly of just playing basketball for enjoyment" Subaru said with a straight face, so he is trying to reason with them, then probably I can use this to awake his love for basketball!
"Yeah, there is nothing wrong with enjoying basketball, even if you two guys think different meanings of fun, because there is the fun of playing against someone really strong and the fun of playing basketball with friends" I said trying to sound as reasonable as possible, and if someone asked me which of these two I like the most, I would say both, because nothing is more amazing than beating someone strong with a friend
"But-!"
"We've been outsiders from the very start, and we are not taking anyone's side" Subaru said while still looking serious, probably this is affecting him, Hm? Oh I got a plan!
"If you felt like it, you could make the girls basketball club win, couldn't you?" Takenaka asked us, looking at us both, I just smiled, these guys don't know anything about our abilities, mwhahaha
"Say what you want, but three days won't be enough, we can't create a miracle"
"He's right" Takenaka said after a long pause
"Hey did you hear that?, I was kinda scared but it's all good now", then the guys finally left while smiling
"…"
"You know we could coach these girls and well make them win, we have—"
"Yeah, but It's just three days we can't do anything" then Subaru started to leave towards the gym
"…"
So the way to the gym was just plain silence, whoa not even one joke nothing even the damn weather?, and when we arrived we saw everyone… practicing, I smirked, Heh playing around? Just how much has he seen?, then they noticed us and started coming towards us
"I'm so relieved I thought you two wouldn't come today" Saki said, I once again cried anime tears, so finally they are including me
"I'm so sorry Subaru, Kazuki, I apologize for what happened yesterday" Maho then apologized to us, I smiled, but Subaru looked really serious, this isn't going to end well...
"Um, Hasegawa-san, you promised to coach us until today, but if possible—" Tomoka tried to ask with really hopeful eyes, keyword tried
"You have a match right?" Subaru asked while remaining serious, here it goes again…
"How do you know about that?" Airi asked really surprised, so they didn't want to tell him or me, if Subaru accepts the official coach position I'll help him teach somethings to these girls
"We both heard about your predicament from the boys' basketball club" This time I said because well, I haven't been saying anything for a while now…
And once again with hopeful eyes and a smile Tomoka tried to ask, "Then—!"
"I'm sorry, that's impossible" and there goes the smile on everyone's face, "I can't coach you to victory" Subaru then looked away, "Sorry" and apologized, "there might be some other way—"
"There is no other way!" Maho shouted with a voice that felt like she was about to cry, just wait a little bit longer girls I have a plan, then she went to Subaru and started to pull on his sleeve, "We don't have anything else, but… but you! Please help us!" I then looked away because of the painful scene
"I'm sorry but you are overestimating me" then Subaru proceeded to say the one sentence that would add to much oil to the fire, "and also I sort of understand how the boys' basketball club feels"
"!, T-That's….. That's so mean…" I could hear Maho said with a really broken voice, "T-T-Then Kazuki, please help us!"
"Even if I could, I can't make you win too, I'm no super coach and also I'm not officially your coach, Sorry"
And with that one sentence, I heard some low sobs and a couple of steps going away, so Maho ran… I'm really sorry
"Maho!" Saki said before running off to her, we both probably look really sad, if just only I could… do something, well I just have to pray that my plan works…
"Hasegawa-san" we then heard the voice of Tomoka, and we turned around and saw her with a basket ball, "We can still do some more practice, right?" I then was surprised, this girl…
"NO, we can't give up now, this isn't over until it's over, now let's go out there and beat them, right Kazuki?"
"Please take care of us for this last day, Coach and Wedner-san" I smiled because of a scene I remembered, the very day I was about to give up on basket, but someone helped me remember why I loved basket
"Yes" was the only thing Subaru could say, so we ended up practicing a little more silent than yesterday, and also I ended up joining the practice tomorrow is when I will put my plan marching, I just hope it will work
(The next day)
Shopping district
I currently was waiting for Subaru in front of the station, I turned from my usual Academy attire to my Everyday attire, which was a Red Zipper hoodie and under that I had a blue shirt blue pants and some sneakers because… I just have this pair of shoes, I mean who needs 3 or 4 pairs of shoes when you can have one!
"Yo! Sorry to make you wait Kazuki!" I heard and then turned around and saw Subaru with a white zipper jacket and under that a red shirt with blue jeans and some sneakers….
"… Why are you copying me?" I asked with a straight face
"I'm not copying you, you are copying me!" and with that started our usual argument
(Small Time Skip)
"*groan* AAHHH! I'm hungry! Subaru go get food will ya?!"
"Go buy it yourself, you have money in you, don't you?"
"…"
"D-Don't tell me...!"
"W-Well there was this game…"
"Just shut up" How cruel, is this how a best friend treats another?!, best friend factory I want a refund!
"Hm? What is happening it's so crowded!" currently we were on our way to a basket court, well I told Subaru that we were going to a batting center and then to the arcade, but probably he knows all this…
"Free throw challenge? Land 10-free-throws and get a 1000 yen coupon from us?"
"Hello, dear director I would like to register a friend of mine!"
"Hey, you get back here!" and with that I was dragged to our original spot
"Just do it please, I beg you Subaru, help your friend"
"…"
"Haaaa~, okay I understand you just don't want to show your pathetic side, I mean you haven't been practicing for a while so you must be failing all those shots, pfftt" I said ending with a fake laugh
"!" and then Subaru proceeded forward, "Okay then I will do it," FOOOD, "but I keep 800 yen" and finally Subaru disappeared and went to the front of the crowd
"YOU ARE NOT HUMAN, YOU BASTARD" I shouted to him, while raising my hand in the form of a fist
And with that, Subaru started the challenge, he made his first throw with no difficulties, and then proceeded to keep going, and about on his third one, he changed his posture, hehe so he is getting into this I knew he missed Basketball, and shoot after shoot he kept modifying his pose, he bended his knees a little slower, grabbed the ball with his right one and with the left one he supported the ball on the left side
Finally, he got every shot in, everyone clapped, "Congratulations" the MC said, "You got 10 clean shots" and finally he handed Subaru, my most precious treasure at the moment, the ticket!
(Small Time Skip)
So we ended up, sharing the ticket in half, and we ordered some food at the food court of the building, "Phew, I thought I was a goner" I said while sitting in a chair and putting my arms behind my head, "but no wonder one of the aces of Kihara Middle School still hasn't lost his touch"
"Yeah, but why didn't you try it to? I mean you ARE the other ace of Kihara Middle School" Subaru said while still trying to get something from his drink
"Well, I was hungry I can't shoot well with an empty stomach, anyway how was it did you find it exciting once again?"
"…"
"*sigh* Probably you'll run home about now, but I will tell you this" I said turning into serious mode and sitting straight, "Don't run away, you saw those girls working training and playing around, didn't you find that really good? So my point is… don't destroy that place, like our place was destroyed okay?"
"… I gotta go" Subaru said while abruptly standing up and walking away without a care in the world
"I just hope the message gets in that dense skull of his" I said while rubbing my forehead, "now what should I do? Oh yeah there was an aquarium near here, maybe I'll have a look and then I´ll go home for the day"
(Small Time Skip)
Aquarium
Whoa, this place is no joke, this aquarium is really beautiful, there are a grand variety of fish, from shrimps to those hammerhead sharks, I was moving at a really slow speed
"What time is it?... WHOA! 3 already? Was I here for about 3 hours?" I said to no one while putting my cellphone back to my pocket, "Welp, time to get back home" I was about to leave when…
"W-Wedner-san?" I heard a familiar voice call my name, I turned around and saw that it was no other than…
"Airi? Hello! What are you doing here?" I said with a smile and approaching her, currently she was wearing a red dress with some black square designs under that she had a white shirt that in it's sleeves it had frills and she also had a ribbon with the same design of the dress, w-w-whoa how cute
"Oh, nothing I was just here to look at some fishes!" Airi said with a smile on her face
"Ehh~! So you do like fishes?"
"Yeah, I love them, they help me relax!"
"Hehe yeah? Well ever since I looked at them I also had this relaxed feeling"
"Really?! Which one is your favorite?" Airi said while having a really wide smile on her face, and I swear I saw her eyes shine
"Well, if I had to choose I would say shrimps!"
"Shrimps? B-B-But they are really small" Airi said a little bit shaken, did I say something bad?
"Yeah, well they may be small, but look at them…" I then pointed at some shrimps around the corner, and saw the trying to climb a huge rock, " they do not give up no matter their size, because well size doesn't matter, what matters is how much effort someone gives to accomplish something"
"…" Airi then looked at me with shocked eyes, "i-i-is that so? Then I also like them too"
"Heh, see this is the awesomeness of a shrimp" I said while crossing my arms and smiling, "okay then let's go Airi!" I said walking a little bit ahead of her
"E-Eh? To where?"
"Well to keep looking at the fishes together of course!" I said with a smile, "unless you wanna go home already, I can walk you home"
"Eh?! No No No, I would like to continue looking at the fishes" Airi then smiled, I smiled to her
"Then forward Airi!"
"Y-Yes"
(Time Skip)
Currently I am walking Airi home after watching some fishes and grabbing a little bit of food, we were walking some suburbs
"I had a lot of fun today thank you Wedner-san" Airi said while we were walking, I smiled
"No need to thank me, and also if you want please call me Kazuki"
"E-E-E-EHHHHH?!" that definitely surprised her, "B-B-But I can't do that you are older than me and… and.."
"Yeah, I know but right now we don't have that relationship, I mean right now we are friends right?" I said putting my arms behind my head Airi just stayed silent, I looked at her and she was a little bit red, "o-o-or was I the only one thinking that?"
"N-N-No no, I also was thinking that, I had a lot of fun, even though I get a lot nervous around a guy"
"O-O-OH, Really? Sorry" I said while scratching my right cheek
"N-N-No, don't worry please do not worry, you are special…." Airi said, then she looked like she spaced out, and a bit of red appeared on her face
"O-OH? Special? I-I-I see" damn I must be red, I can't believe she said that I mean if I'm special to her won't that mean…? Nah, I'm reading too much the situation, "Anyway sorry about the other day, you know not being able to coach and things like that"
"A-Ah, about that please do not worry, but you did help us a lot on the last day"
"Yeah? Then I'm happy, but one question why do you not want to lose?"
"Eh? W-Well…" then we stopped walking I looked at her and Airi had this serious face on, "It's because it's the place we met, because of that club we all could be friends be with each other, at first I joined because of curiosity but now…" I then heard her voice crack a bit, "but now I want to protect it, the place we all can be, the place where we all met, the place where we can play basket, I know I am a coward, but I want to work hard, I really do but the moment I see the ball I get scared I don't know what to do" Airi then ended that while sobbing a little bit, I smiled then as careful as I could be I ruffled her hair
"Then you are doing good, keep going don't give up, and let me tell you this every great player once was afraid of the ball, I can assure you that" probably, "so keep working hard and don't give up, Kashii Airi!"
"!, Y-Y-Yes!" and with that Airi started to cry a little bit, "th-th-then on the day of the match…"
"?"
"C-C-Can you go cheer me on?" Airi said while looking at the ground a little bit and also glancing at me at times
"Of course, I will go cheer you on as many times as you want" I said to her with a smile, she smiled a really big big smile
"T-Thank you!"
"No worries, now let's go it's starting to get dark"
"O-Okay, in fact we are very close to my house, Kazuki-san"
"Eh? Really, then let's go don't want your parents shouting at you for being late" then we finally proceeded to walk
"Here it is!" Airi said, we just walked from the position we were standing to where we currently are just about 10 steps
"Oh, that was fast! Then I will see you later Airi" I then was about to leave
"W-W-Wait!" I turned around and saw Airi smiling a beautiful smile, "Thank you for today I had a lot of fun Kazuki-san"
"No problem, if you ever want to talk, then talk to me Airi for anything you may need! Now later!" I said while waving a final goodbye to her, and finally she entered her house, I hope Subaru agrees to help them if that happens I want to help the girls and Airi
(Time Skip)
Wedner Residence
"I'm back" I said while getting my shoes off, "today has been one long day of walking and being hungry"
"Oh? You are back Kazu-kun" I then heard a female voice from the dining room, I went opened the door to the dining room, and saw a woman who was in her middle 30s, she had long black hair with a long braid, she was wearing a purple shirt and over that she had an apron, and some jeans with some slippers, "How was your day?"
"Good Mom, I had a lot of fun, but I'm already tired, so I will go and sleep, oh and also I already ate, don't worry if you want to please put that food on the microwave, I'll eat it for lunch"
"Okay then Kazu-kun, but you seem really happy did something good happen today?"
"Y-Yeah, kinda like that" I said scratching my cheek
"Please treat her well"
"W-W-What do you mean by that, geez Mom, but yeah don't worry I'll treat her well" I said with a smile, I was about to go to the second floor, to where my room is but….
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*
… my cell rang, I got it out and saw that it was Subaru I answered it
"Yo! Subaru what's up?"
"Hello Kazuki? Yeah, I'm good anyway can you come to my house, and please bring your lunch for school and also your uniform"
"Okay, but why-?"
"Just come already!"
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEEEEEP*
He just hung me up, seriously what is up with him?
"Who was that Kazu-kun?" My Mom asked while tilting her head
"Oh, Subaru he said to go to his house with my lunch for tomorrow and my uniform, so I'm going okay Mom?"
"Yeah, please do take care Kazu-kun, oh and tell Nayu-chan I said hi"
"Of course Mom, anyway I will see you tomorrow"
I then ran to my room to prepare anything I had to prepare…
(Time Skip)
Subaru's Room
After getting everything ready, I headed towards Subaru's house, when I arrived I was greeted by him still wearing the clothes he had this morning, I can't say anything because I too am wearing the clothes I had this morning, but obviously I had a bath before coming here, anyway after saying my regards to Subaru's mother, Nayu Hasegawa, she then proceeded to leave and talk to my mother on the phone, and currently I am in Subaru's room
"So why did you call me?" I asked sitting in the chair that was near his desk
"We are pulling an all nighter!"
"Okay…. WAIT WHAAAAT? WHAT FOR?" I shouted at him, did he just call me to help him with something
"For this" then he got a box out, what is that?, as if reading my mind he said, "it's all the videos from the Keishin Male Basketball Team, so come on let's watch them so that we can help the girls"
I was surprised at this, I smiled, finally I repaid him, even if it wasn't me that got him the love for basket, I'm happy the long awaited return of my rival, "Heh~? What made you change your decision?"
He then got surprised at first, then he got a little bit red and scratched his cheek, "T-T-Tomoka came and we practiced a bit"
"Hoh~? Tomoka? So you and her had a sweet time" man I really sound right now like Miho-nee
"Y-Yeah, and shut up! Now let's watch these" I laughed
"Hey Subaru"
"Huh?"
I then held my arm straight with my hand formed as a fist, "Welcome back"
He then smiled and brofisted me, "Yeah, I'm back in the game!"
"Heh, now let's help these girls protect their basketball and place to play basketball"
"Of course!" And with that started our long night of just watching some kids play basketball
(The next day)
Keishin Academy
"We need to do those kinds of things at a better time you know?"
"Yeah, sorry it was last minute inspiration"
"I know, I know but man I didn't think I would sleep all day at school"
"Yeah, me too"
Currently, Subaru and Me were passing through the Keishin Academy's gate, and we had bags under our eyes, Subaru had a notebook with tactics on how to beat the boys' Basketball team
"Ah, we are here!" Finally we arrived at the door of the gym, we were about to enter but…
"Y-Y-Yeah…" Subaru just stood in front of the handle
"Hey, why are you nervous we had to face opponents way scarier than this remember?"
"I know, I know, but will you think they might forgive us?"
"Of course they will, now come on Coachie, let's enter!"
"Yeah!", and with that Subaru slid the door open, and once again I swear I saw a ray of light
"""""Welcome back, Masters""""""
"OHHHHH~! Maids!" I said really happy, and yes the five girls, Airi, Tomoka, Maho, Hinata and Saki, were wearing maid uniforms, wish I had my camera!
"We are back everyone, so from now on I'll be coaching you!" Subaru said with great determination, he then looked at Tomoka, Saki, and Maho, and then they smiled
"Yeah, and I'll help you guys too, not as a coach but let's say as the super assistant coach" I said trying to come up with a cool name, instead of assistant, I then looked at everyone and my vision fell to Airi and Hinata, who was beside her, the two smiled at me, and I smiled at them, "Now let's change gears and win the match!"
"""""Of course""""""
And right then at that moment started a story, a story of two coaches of a team of 10 girls so this story of basketball, and maybe love, is just starting!
