Chapter 2

Miyuki tossed and turned in his bed. What Eijun had said to him earlier that night had really bothered him. 'There's no place for me at Seidou'. He had meant to say something to the southpaw, but before he did, Eijun had turned around and walked off, leaving the catcher staring at the pitcher's back as he disappeared. The way Eijun had said it, and the look on his face had Miyuki practically kicking his legs on the bed in frustration. "Dammit, Sawamura... Don't do anything stupid." He mumbled, and curled up on his bed until he finally fell asleep.


Come morning, the team were all sitting together, eating breakfast. Haruichi noticed how Eijun was slumped in his seat, and sort of pushing his food around on his plate. "Eijun? Want to talk about it?" He asked and the pitcher looked up. "Hm?" Eijun looked up at the pinkette. Haruichi noticed how tired Eijun looked. "Did you get any sleep at all?" He asked and Eijun shrugged. "A little." Was the reply that Sawamura gave him. Haruichi was going to press the situation further, when Coach Kataoka walked over to their table. "Sawamura. We need to talk." Kataoka's voice sounded stern, and Eijun stood up. Both he and the coach walked off. "This isn't good." Haruichi whispered under his breath.


Eijun stood while Coach Kataoka went and sat behind his desk. "I won't beat around the bush, Sawamura. Two of our students showed concern at how you spoke to them yesterday. You called them 'bitches', I believe?" The coach said, and Eijun looked to the side. "This isn't like you, Sawamura." Kataoka said, as he sipped from a cup of coffee that was on his desk. "But I think I know what's going on." He added, and Eijun looked up.

"You do? You really know?" Eijun asked and Kataoka set down his cup of coffee. "Sawamura. I know it's difficult for you to understand right now. But...I gave Furuya the ace position because of numerous factors." Kataoka said, causing Eijun to grit his teeth. 'Not this talk again, I already got this shit from Miyuki'. Eijun thought, as his hands clutched at the hem of his tshirt.

"You leaving by yourself yesterday, and how you spoke to those young ladies... I have to impose a punishment." Kataoka said, and Eijun nodded his head. 'Let me guess. Run more laps?' Eijun thought to himself and Kataoka looked Eijun in the eyes.

"Eijun Sawamura..." Coach Kataoka took a deep breath. This wasn't going to be easy. But it had to be done. Such attitude could not be allowed. He would nip this attitude in the bud, right here, and right now. The next words out of Coach Kataoka's mouth would be the final nail in Eijun's heart.

"...You're suspended from all team activities starting now..."
