*emerges out of a grave, with dirt everywhere* I'M (barely) ALIVE! AHHHH, it feels like ages since I wrote something for this story! I am so sorry for being away for so long-I blame this all on the school system-but here I am. Alive (well, kinda)! I've just been so stressed out lately and I haven't had any time to write alongside the fact that I thought that nobody was reading this story due to the lack of response to this story, thus I kind of put it off to the side. But I'm back, so hopefully there will still be someone out there who reads this!

I apologize beforehand that this won't be a spectacular chapter due to my lack of writing for this story as well as a rushed amount of time. But I'll improve, I promise!

Contestant 3: Yamamoto Takeshi

"Yamamoto~san! Ganbette ne~!" Haru cheered as Yamamoto stepped up to the plate. He must have superhuman hearing or something to that effect, since he turned around to where she was sitting, which was so close to the baseball players that she could reach out and touch them if she truly wanted to, and beamed at her while giving her a thumbs up. When mentioned about the superhuman hearing, nearly the whole stadium was filled with screams and cheers, so it should have been impossible for Yamamoto to hear Haru's cute, little cheer for him.

Yamamoto got into position, a worn-down bat with the hours he spent practicing in his hand, as he waited for the pitch to be thrown his way. From where she was sitting, Haru could see that his cheerful smile was soon replaced with a look of concentration, as if nothing in this world mattered except for the ball being thrown his way. She smiled gently as she continued taking in his features.

Yamamoto was a sweetheart. He was almost everything any young woman would want in a boyfriend or husband. He was sweet, he was caring, he could cook, he was athletic, he was quite handsome, the list could go on. But one of the things that stuck out about Yamamoto that Haru was surprised that no one else noticed was his priorities. It's quite obvious that he loved baseball and cherished the game even when he wasn't playing it. However, if someone near and dear to him was in trouble, he would give up baseball in a heartbeat to help out that soul in need. To Haru, he was so much more than just a sweet baseball player with a heart of gold. No, he was a man who would give up what he loved most to help out someone in need.

CRACK! The sound of Yamamoto's bat hitting the pitch startled Haru out of her thoughts as the ball flew far. She, alongside the rest of the audience, cheered loudly as Yamamoto and his teammates all ran to home base, leading Yamamoto and his team to win the game. When the announcer announced that Yamamoto's team was the winner of the game, Yamamoto left his cheering teammates to jog over to Haru to give her a celebratory hug. The whole stadium went wild over the Yamamoto Takeshi hugging a girl, who many would then presume was his girlfriend, but Haru didn't care. She lost herself in that hug and it didn't matter to her what people would say or think about her and Yamamoto. Because they could keep all of that overrated talk about Yamamoto. Only she knew what he was truly like.

End of Date 3.

Note: I realized that this is an EXTREMELY short chapter but that's okay, because I'm back! I am so sorry that this is a poorly-written date and I feel so guilty that I didn't do Yamamoto justice because he is such a sweetheart, but please vote for him if you really do want him to win! The next contestant is our dark and handsome Hibari Kyoya so stay tuned for him~! And as always, please remember to vote for who you want to win! *hugs you all* BAI~!
