-o-o-o-o-o-o- Yamamoto's POV –o-o-o-o-o-o-
Baseball, that's the only thing on my mind. I don't think that I'll love anything else besides baseball; I've dedicated my whole life to baseball. But I started taking my friends into consideration, playing as the swordsman in their 'mafia' game. Haha! Sounds funny, huh? But I enjoyed it a lot; I really like my friends and that interesting 'mafia' game they play.
It started several days ago, when I found this 'unique' person. I found her when I was heading for the showers after the baseball training that evening, swinging her kendo sword in the pouring rain. She didn't really care about getting wet as she kept swinging the wooden sword, her focused gaze drowning me, dazed me off to the point of being unable to greet her. In that evening rainy sky, I was soaked by the rain too, and couldn't stop wondering why she practiced outside, when she could have used the Kendo gym.
-o-o-o-o-o-o- End of Yamamoto's POV –o-o-o-o-o-o-
You stood unflinching, wondering why the gym was locked, you were really sure that there was a practice session today. You came full of determination, Kendo was the only way for you to release your mind, so even after the rain started pouring down, you still urged the other kendokas to come.
"Ah, (f/n), the training was canceled, and I don't know your phone number so I couldn't inform you. Why don't you go back? It'll rain soon." Said your fellow member, you bid them politely and just stayed there, hearing the thunder roars from the sky as you stared at the gym's door.
There is no point if I don't train…and I really need to calm down…
All the stress that had been plaguing your head started getting pumped up when they pointed you as the vice-captain of Kendo club since Mochida [1] was in big shock and the trainer said the Kendo club might need a new captain and vice-captain, so they completely swapped your presidential order. And here you were, alone, out of the gym and completely desperate after not being informed, forgotten by the whole club.
You banged the door with your fist, feeling the power of your fist going back to your now shivering hand. You decided to swing your wooden sword until it rained and to then just run back home then have a hot bath.
After a few swings, you felt something cold falling to your cheek and creating a colorless stain there. You looked up to the sky, filled with many big dark clouds and the water overflowing from it, wetting you. But you were unwilling to stop, not until you were satisfied with swinging your sword, not until your mind cleared…
As you gave another forceful swing, you didn't even know someone was watching you practising. You still didn't notice that the person was now approaching you, until he managed to touch your shoulder and greeted, "Hey, what are you doing?"
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Your scream could even beat the roaring thunder as the person took a few steps back, baffled, and you started swinging your wooden kendo sword to the person, afraid something bad had come, like…a ghost.
Oh, you had always hated ghosts, and that's the way your father put pressure on you, he said if you didn't learn how to defend yourself then the ghost would do something bad to you. But you ended up loving the sport as you spent most of your time practicing.
"D-don't come near me, don't come! I-I'll hit you!" you closed your eyes tightly, not wanting to know who touched you and kept swinging your wooden sword.
"Maa, maa, slow down. Hahaha, I just want to know why you practice in the rain." Said the person, and you finally gathered up your courage, slowly opening your eyes, full of hesitant feeling.
After you realized who the person was, you started getting nervous. He was Yamamoto Takeshi, the one you always had a crush on, your classmate and the most popular first year boy. "E-ehh…Y-yamamoto? What are you—umm, no, never mind, sorry…"
"Haha! Sorry for what? Eh, you know my name? hahaha, I'm happy!" he said, letting you hear that innocent laughter of his. Oh, what kind of dream did you have last night to end up greeted by that gorgeous boy today.
"U-umm… I'm your classmate…its obvious I'd know your name…Yamamoto Takeshi." You said hesitantly, turning your head down so he wouldn't notice your now crimson cheeks.
The pouring rain filled the air around the both of you as the boy went silent, and he seemed to remember something. Oh, you forgot that he was a incredibly oblivious one…
His voice broke through the lingering silence, "O-oh? Really? Haha, sorry I didn't notice…Uhh ummm…Sakura..zaka…is it?"
You felt like a stranger… and you gave him a narrowed-eyed look but still answered, "No…(s/n) (f/n)…that's my name…"
He rubbed his nape and laughed again, you swore that you could just happily put him into the sky to make the rain stop since he felt like sunshine. "Oh yeah, (s/n)! hahaha, umm, why were you practicing out while you were sure to get drenched?"
"Eh…umm, I didn't get the news that the practice has been cancelled… so I was, yeah, kind of training by myself…s-so, what about you? Why did you come here?" you gave him a nervous smile as you took your sword case and put the wooden sword inside.
"Me? I was in the middle of working out when it started raining cats and dogs. So I decided I'd take a shortcut to the showers, and I came across you. Hahaha!" he responded.
Suddenly, he approached you and surrounded your shoulders with his left arm. You gasped and flushed a bit as you saw the tanned boy grinning at you. "You should go home now, (s/n)! or else you'll catch a cold."
"I-I intended to take a shower before going home…" you said, touching his arm and putting it away from your shoulder slowly. "I-if you'll excuse me."
"Hahaha! I want to take a shower too! Well then, see you tomorrow (f/n)!" he said, waving his hand cheerfully at you as you waved back with a faint sway of your hand. 'What are you doing ? You should bid him with more energy.', you thought, but considering your exhaustion, this was the best you could do.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-
You sighed on your way home, wondering why you couldn't spend more time where you had been. You were very tired from your previous practice, and thanks to the hot shower, you also got your skin back. After a few thoughts like that one, you realized that you forgot bringing your wooden sword along as you left it in front of the female shower-room near the swimming pool. One more sigh left your throat while you face-palmed.
How could I forget my sword…though I remembered to bring home my kinagashi…
"Hey, missy? Want to hang out?"
As that voice filled the empty street, you had gotten yourself into a defensive mode. A man showed up from a bush in the park you usually passed by on your way home, there was…a somewhat dangerous feeling and your nightmare came true. He approached you with his breath heavy, flushed cheeks and lustful eyes.
God, even though he was like a drunkard, he could grab your wrist fast just when you wanted to run. Why did this thing happen to you when you didn't bring any weapon? You were useless without your sword, and started screaming around, trying to somehow get some help.
"Hehehe, screaming is useless, missy, no one's out there. Why don't we have some fun?" he pulled you to the bushes and tied your wrist together with a rope to pin them above your head. He was so strong that you could do nothing else than struggling and hoping someone helped you, you hated how weak you were when unarmed.
The lecherous man started unbuttoning your school uniform, inhaled a deep breath of your fragrance as he started getting closer to your revealed collarbone. You screamed with all your might as he finished unbuttoning your uniform, giving him a delicious sight of a young girl's body. You tried to kick him while still yelling but didn't hit anything, only felt wind caressing your feet. Hopeless, there was nothing you could do even if you knew some martial arts since the rapist was too strong for you, you might have been safe if you had your wooden-sword….only if you had it.
Your most feral fears started to concretize as you let your tears fall down swiftly; he mapped your cleavage with his hand, asking whether it was good or pleasuring. You responded him with a loud scream, fighting harder so maybe you could get a chance to run.
As he started to flip you on your stomach, you still letting loud cries out and suddenly you didn't hear any lustful laughter anymore from behind you, no sound beside one of punching and whimpers.
"(F/N)! Are you alright?" a voice came out, but you were still afraid to turn back. Your trembling worsened and you didn't even have enough strength to stand up, and suddenly someone lifted you up, holding you tightly while your face was buried in the person's chest.
You felt relieved, this man saved you, holding you tightly in his arms and rushed to a safe place, you couldn't believe that the man who saved you was the boy you met before, the one you always dreamed of.
He put you down and helped you sitting on the bench, then knelt down to check if you were hurt or anything. "Are you hurt anywhere, (f/n)?"
"Y-yamamoto..." you called, still unable to believe in his presence there and soon all of those thoughts disappeared as you finally lost hold of yourself and lunged to the athlete's body, giving him a tight, trembling hug as you cried until your heart felt content, wetting his school shirt.
He was shocked at first but then gave you a gentle smile, patting your head and embracing you back with one hand as the other one balanced the both of you on the ground. "There, there…you are alright now…no need to be afraid."
-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"Are you calmed now, (f/n)? hahaha, it was so dangerous before. Are you sure you're not hurt somewhere?" he asked you while walking you home, still worried about your condition.
You nodded slowly, still sniffing and gently wiped the wet colorless stain off your swollen eyes, and felt warm with Yamamoto's blazer wrapping your body, hiding the messed uniform. "Y-yes… he hadn't done it. Umm…thank you…Yamamoto…for saving me…" you smiled at him, but not as cheerfully as you could since you felt absolutely worn out.
"Haha, glad to hear that! I was in the middle of walking my way home when I suddenly heard a scream from the park, and thank God I made it in time." He laughed innocently, carefully supporting you with his hand around your back.
He continued as you just responded with a tired giggle, "Oh yeah, since your house is near mine, why don't I walk you home everyday? You know, to prevent that kind of thing from happening to you again. Hahah, what do you think?"
You blinked towards him, twice, then three times while walking, and then you finally answered, "No, it'll trouble you! B-beside… I'll always remember to bring my wooden sword with me…"
"Don't worry, it's decided! I'll take you home from now on, okay (f/n)? hahaha!" he dazzled you with that sunny smile of his, you'd never ever be capable of saying no to him if he showed you his smile and you ended up giving him permission to walk you home.
You swore you could squeal in your room as you'd be jumping off your bed, but let's not do that, you were REALLY tired because of all the activities and events today, you really needed some good bathing and sleep.
After you both arrived at your house, he said, "Hahaha, get some rest, 'kay? My house is only further there, I'm off! See you tomorrow, (f/n)!" then he waved to you enthusiastically and ran to his home after you waved him too, bid him farewell.
Tomorrow will be my personal hell…oh gosh those fangirls…
