Chapter 2: Kageyama Kidnapped!
After saying their goodbyes to the upperclassman…
"That jerk!" Kageyama grumbled, "Didn't even try to fake sympathy…"
"Hifs a furreal hurk!" Hinata joined, mouth stuffed with meat buns.
"Are you going to talk or are you going to eat? Choose one" Kageyama said, inching away from the flying meat spit coming out of Hinata's mouth.
Swallowing down his food hard, he said, "I said 'He's a real jerk! Sheesh, Baka-yama don't you understand Japanese?"
"Hinata you dumb butt!" Kageyama yells out and chases after Hinata. Hinata, being the squirrely high jumper ace that he is, easily dodges Kageyama's attacks. Kageyama became breathless and soon gave up on the chase.
"Ha-ha, I win this time! Kageyama is a Baka-Yama!" Hinata chanted in victory.
"Next time… you… won't be… so lucky…"Kageyama huffed out.
They approached the usual fork on the road and parted there. Kageyama, feeling doubly defeated because of Hinata's "win", clopped off home like usual. As he turned the corner to enter into his neighborhood and chilling presence crept up from behind. He whirls around only to find a few stragglers walking home from the night shift and a few couples walking hand in hand. Thinking it was only his imagination he picked up his pace and made it home.
"I'm home," he called only to be met by silence. A sticky note was placed on the home phone next to the front door. "Hi sweetie, mom and dad are going to visit your grandparents in Ueno, be back this weekend, Love Mom and Dad."
"Great~" Kageyama's luck just keeping getting worse. The message on the back of the note said that there was his favorite meals and leftovers for him. He bee-lined for the frig and heated up the food. Taking his meal to his room he plopped onto his bed and started eating. Then the doorbell rings. Forcing himself to his feet he slowly made his way to the door, not caring if he's making the person wait.
"Who the hell is coming over at this time of night?" Kageyama grumbled. He opened the door and it was the late night deliveryman.
"Sorry for disturbing you sir, you have a few letters that needed immediate delivery. Please sign here" the mailman said with a monotone.
After signing the letters and saying thanks and goodbye, Kageyama closed the door and back tracked to his room. "Subscriptions for Sports Monthly, and few other sports magazines and…what the-?" One letter, a yellow envelope with no return address, was the smallest of them all. Kageyama opened the small envelope, only to find a tiny card that read, "Are you lonely? Wanna have some fun?" That's all it said, Kageyama placed the slip back into the envelope and tore it to pieces. "Junk mail." He returned to finishing his food, got dressed and ready for bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
But being Baka-yama for today, he forgot to lock the front door.
