Koharu's Story Part 2
"Next one is yours, Yoshimoto!" the coach said to Hikaru.
16-year-old Hikaru dove down but as she tried to catch the ball, it squirted loose from her grasp.
"Rats! My palms are sweaty!" Hikaru exclaimed.
"You're up, Mita!" the coach called out.
The shortstop, 16-year-old Kanako Mita put her glasses back on after cleaning them and caught the baseball.
"Got it," Kanako said. "heads up, Izumi!"
Kanako just then threw the ball off to Izumi.
"Yes! I got it!" Izumi called out.
Izumi threw the baseball to Ryo.
"Heads up, Mao!" Ryo called throwing the ball to the catcher.
"Oh yes! I got it," Mao said throwing the ball. "it is all you, Koharu!"
Nene Mori, the manager for the baseball team came out of the locker room just in time to see the ball heading right for Koharu Hotta, the center field player.
"Koharu," Nene called. "look out!"
The ball hit Koharu right on the head knocking her to the ground.
The coach as well as the other eight team players ran up to Koharu.
"Hotta!" Coach Kido yelled out.
"Koharu!" Mao, Ryo, Izumi, Hikaru, Yoko, Seira, Kanako, and Yuki all shouted in terrified unison.
"Why did you put our center fielder into a coma, Mao?" Izumi asked in an accusing tone of voice.
Koharu began to breathe but her brown eyes still stayed shut tightly.
"Mao did not put Koharu into a coma," Ryo told Izumi now feeling relieved. "because if Koharu was in a coma, then she wouldn't be breathing now would she?"
