Members of the baseball team in Seidou high school stood on the field and waited for the coach will mark the start of training. Eijun was very impatient because he wanted already to throw some killer balls, but Kataoka coach looked at them with his harsh eyes and said:

"Today will take a place combined training with Inashiro team."

Among the players were raised whispers. Eijun just had to shout that he don't like it, but fortunately Kominato stopped him and closed his mouth with his hand.

"You don't want to get another punishment from this monster, don't you?" He asked. He released Sawamura only when he again stood at attention. Then the captain Tetsuya, came forward.

"With all respect, Mr. Kataoka, but is the shared practice certainly a good idea?" He asked, and withstood the harsh coach's gaze.

"As a captain you should understand it best, Yuki." Coach Answered and by gesture of the hand ordered him to return to rest.

"That's true." Miyuki thought and looked at Tetsuya with a slight smile. "Common training will motivate all of us and well show us what is lacking. Trainer knows what he's doing."

After a short while Takashima introduced Inashiro team on the pitch. There were all members of the main team. They presented proudly and scary. They came to the Seidou team and greeted by the nod. Captains of both teams shook hands. Kataoka coach ordered the start of training.

The first exercise was twenty laps around the field.

"Slow! Quick! Slow! Quick!" Yelled the coach impose pace all the guys. "The last lap is a sprint!" He ordered. Everyone started to run as fast as they could and stopped at the finish line one after another. The next exercises were stretching exercises. Members of both teams get together in pairs and helped each other. Warm-up lasted about forty minutes, and after that came the time for proper training which is what everyone was waiting for. Coach split all the players on the teams that they have practice in. Furuya and Kawakami had practice with Inashiro's catcher. Eijun, Miyuki and Narumiya formed the second group. Yuki, Isashiki and Tadano third group. Kuramochi, Kominato and Harada fourth, and so on. Kataoka Coach walked the pitch between the teams and gave all the tips and advice. Corrected them and instructed, but also praised for work well done.

"Nice ball Mei!" Miyuki shouted and threw it toward the pitcher. "Sawamura, try to throw a little below, in the place that I will show you. As usual, you are very excited and you're doing everything wrong."

Mei laughed softly. This Sawamura had a nasty ball control and it seemed that even he didn't know where it will land.

"Yes Miyuki-senpai." Replied the younger boy and didn't pay attention to the laugh of the player on the opposing team. "Look at this!"

Eijun focused and threw as hard as he could.

"Ball!" Said the boy, who stood behind Miyuki as a referee.

Mei laughed so loud that he had to grab his stomach. Miyuki the same. Eijun was now all red with anger.

"Look at this!"

"Ball!"

"At this!"

"Ball!"

Mei was on the ground laughing, and Miyuki was so furious that he stood up and shouted:

"Coach! Replace Sawamura on Furuya! I beg you! This idiot can't do anything right."

Unfortunately, the coach ignored the Kazuya's request pretending not to hear anything. Catcher muttered with dissatisfaction and returned to his place.

"You have one last chance Sawamura." He said, and set the glove. He gave the pitcher to understand where to target. Then Mei went to Eijun and whispered something in his ear.

The younger boy looked uncomfortable, but nodded his his head softly, and positioned himself to throw. Narumiya looked at Kazuya with a nasty smile. Sawamura took a deep breath and threw. The ball went exactly where Kazuya wanted to.

"Strike!" Said referee.

Miyuki frowned.

"Did you see that?!" Eijun screamed and jumped with joy.

"Yes. Nice ball, Sawamura." Mei patted him on the back and smiled at him. Kazuya clenched his free hand into a fist. He didn't know why, but he felt jealous.

"Okay now it's my turn." Mei set up on the pitcher's place and throw the ball after the ball. Each of them reaching the target perfectly.

After two full hours, Kataoka coach announced end of training. He invited the guests to use the locker room with the Seidou team and to eat a meal together. They all were hungry and tired so they wanted to go as soon as possible already to the canteen.

"Miyuki. Allow a word." The coach called him over. Kazuya walked up to him, but still looked like a happy Sawamura goes to the locker room with Mei.

In this room there was a positive atmosphere between the teams. They talked and laughed together as good friends. Sawamura boasted to anyone who would listen to him, that he threw a incredible the ball today.

"Narumiya-senpai advised me!" He announced proudly to Haruichi, who smiled charmingly at these words.

"Sawamura, can you wait for a while? I would like to have a few words with you." Said Mei to the younger pitcher.

"Sure." Sawamura replied.

When all the other members of both teams left the locker room, Narumiya came to Eijun so close that their noses almost touching. The younger boy immediately took a few steps back, but encountered barrier in his path in the form of lockers.

"Narumiya-senpai?" Stammered with scared face.

The blond boy said nothing. He approached troubled Sawamura again and looked into his eyes from a very close distance. Eijun turned his head to the side when he felt blushed. Mei rested his hands on locker on both sides of the younger boy's head and leaned to his ear.

"You're timid kitten, Eijun-chan." He said, and grabbed him under the chin to turn his head in his direction. "But you do not have to be afraid. I'm dangerous only on the field."

"Narumiya-senpai, please stop." Sawamura closed his eyes and felt his heart begin to beat very fast. He wanted to escape from between blonde's shoulders, but wasn't able to do that. Mei used force to push Eijun for lockers, and his right knee he stuck between the embarrassed and ashamed boy's legs.

"Narumiya-senpai, stop ... please." Sawamura repeated and put his hands on Mei's chest trying to push him away.

"Don't be so shy Eijun-chan." After these words the blonde boy knelt in front of his victim and began to unbutton his pants.

Sawamura felt that his knees bend. He put his hand to his mouth because he didn't want anyone to hear his sighs caused Mei's touch.

"Narumiya ..." He said and bit his lip. He had to stop it. He grabbed his pants and didn't let them off. He exploited the fact that the blonde was kneeling. He pushed him away with both hands and ran from the locker room as if it was burning. Along the way, he dodged Miyuki, who had just finished talking with the coach and he came to change. Kazuya immediately noticed that something is wrong. He walked into the room and saw Mei, who was dressed in a fresh shirt.

"What did you do?" Asked the catcher and went to the opponent.

"What are you talking about?" The blonde looked at him questioningly.

"What did you do to Sawamura?! Don't pretend to be stupid!" Miyuki angrily grabbed Naruymia shirt and lifted him off the ground.

"Played around with him a little." Mei smiled in a nasty way, and also grabbed Kazuya's shirt. For a moment they looked at each other with hatred and, when finally catcher said:

"If you touch him again, you can be sure that I will hurt you."

"It remains to be seen, Kazuya." Mei laughed and pushed away a furious catcher.

Miyuki almost hit him, but to the locker room just went Haruichi who forgot to take out of the locker his notebook. He noted that the boys had to fight, so he stood between them and said:

"If you have some score to settle with each other, untie them on the pitch."

"Indeed ..." Narumiya admitted he was right, put his bag on shoulder and then walked out of the locker room.

Kazuya looked at him with his hands clenched into fists. He was furious on this cocky blonde.

"Miyuki-senpai, we should go now to the cafeteria." Kominato said with a smile on his lips and also came out of the locker room.

Catcher stood there for a short while. He wondered what do Mei said to Sawamura in the bullpen and what he did to him just now. He didn't know what happened, but he knew he couldn't just leave it like this. He had, as soon as possible, to talk to Eijun.
