Chapter 3.5 – Our Weekend

Sky seemed very clear today. It was a perfect weather for going out. The boys already gathered near at the bus stop waiting for a bus to arrive.

Kazuya watched Kojiro that not talk a bit since he came. It bothered him when he recalled yesterday situation between him and Makoto. They might not really fond to each other like Kentaro with Makoto, since they cooperate well in game. Even that Kojiro always followed his order as he respect him as their captain, but something was wrong here. Makoto not realized it yet, maybe later, or he hid that feeling.

"I got no luck. I just thought that you'll bring her. She's cute~" Hiroshi told him. He got a little interest in her.

Kojiro glared at him. He didn't like it when somebody talks about his sister appearance, personality and simply said anything about her. She is his sister, but something felt wrong about it, something that he couldn't accept it.

Makoto smirked. "You should take care of her better." He looked at a stall near them.

Kojiro looked at also and noticed Naomi was trying to hide when she saw him. She looked scare, afraid of her brother will get angry at her.

He sighed."I get no choice then."

He called for her. Naomi walked toward him with her head down. She only received a glare from him.

"Chill down, Furuhashi. She comes here by her own. It's bad to let her go back alone right?" Makoto interrupted.

"A girl doesn't go out on weekend with a group of men. Don't you have any plan with your new friends in school?" Kojiro asked her. He didn't want her to be here. Not with them.

"I-I tried to start conversation with them but I stuttered when I started to begin and the boys scared me so I can't really talk with any of my classmates." She said without stop in a breath. Her eyes teary remembered her failure.

They looked at her pity.

"Her shyness is the level 99." Kentaro stated bluntly.

"But she's cute when she's shy! I'm okay with it." Hiroshi said excitedly happy to see her.

"Shut up before I kill you." Kojiro warned in response.

"You're siscon*, Kojiro." Kazuya teased.

Makoto stepped out standing in front her. His shadow surrounded her small figure.

"Since you're here, I want to do an experiment." He smiled mischievously looking down her. She gulped, not knowing what on his mind. He held her hand and dragged her with him. "Change the plan! Let's head over to other place."

Kazuya shrieked. "How about-"

Makoto paused a while and look back. "Don't you hear me, stupid? I've something more important thing to do than wandering around the town without a good point. Hurry up! Don't just stare there." He walked away still holding her hand. She couldn't let it go and been dragged by him.

Kojiro was in shocked that he couldn't react on his sudden plan. What his plan? He hope it not something that he'll hate.


There few children playing at the basketball street court. Makoto make them went out from there. Some of them whispery cursed him but he didn't mind it since he thought children were stupid. He took a basketball from one of the kids.

"Two-on-two." He announced. He let go of her.

"I'm with you. Furuhashi can be with Hara." Kentaro decided.

Hiroshi was so happy to stay outside of the court beside Naomi. Somehow, Naomi was uncomfortable with his interest towards her.

"What you do you want to do with this?" Kojiro asked the captain.

"Testing her eyes and mind. Do you know basketball's rules?" He looked at her.

"Kojiro plays basketball so I get interested with it until I watched his game in highschool. I know how you play. It really awful and you hurt them. Game should be for fun right?"

Makoto smirked to hear her answer. "Good. So you know the basic. We'll have a match. Whoever get first five point win. Use your eyes and mind when watching the game. I'll ask you a lot of question after this."

"Ah-wait! I don't understand!"

"Game start!" Hiroshi threw off the ball on the air as he commanded.

They started to catch the ball.

The game ended early unexpectedly. Hanamiya's team won, 5-2.

Naomi watched the whole game carefully and amazed with their ability. Each of them has different way of playing but she still couldn't understand what he wanted from her.

"Here the first question, shorty."

"Wait! Please explain it more details what I need to do. I don't know what you mean by using my eyes and mind."

"Wait for the question, shorty. In the game, who is the most catching attention?" He asked.

She instantly answered. "Of course it's you. Everyone knows you're one of the Uncrowned King and mostly you're the captain and coach of the team. It makes sense."

He chuckled. "You've nice reason there. Lastly just a simple question, how do you think of the team overall after watching the game?"

Naomi didn't know how to answer it. What she think about the team?

"Humans can't change drastically. The team has so much experience. Each of you has your own personality and technic. You can be a great team. But, why do you need to harm the other team? As the captain and coach, don't you think it just too much? What will you feel if your own team be done like that? Can't you just play the game without hurting anyone?"

Makoto widely smile on her answer. She just too interesting.

"I'll think of it." He lied, completely unserious about it. His eyes told her.

He threw the ball away since it's not his.

"Let's have a lunch. The game was pretty exhausted."

Kojiro watched over her. She had her head down, feeling disappointed for unable to make they realize their mistake. Her eyes teary but she tried best to hold it. She doesn't want to be called a cry-baby.

He rubbed her head softly. "Let's go. Don't give me any trouble for getting lost."

She nodded smile slightly.


They sat altogether in a fast food restaurant, Maji Burger.

"One of the things I want to do today. Lastly!" Kazuya confessed out happily.

"Just eat already! You attract too much attention." Hiroshi uneasy with all eyes that looking at them because of Kazuya's loud voice.

Hiroshi looked at Naomi. She only eating Kojiro's French fries that he get from the meal set and a milkshake.

"Furuhashi, you need to get her eat more. She's too small."

"I have. She doesn't want to." His glare told him to not always looking at his sister or you want to die.

"I'm fine with this. I'm not too hungry." Naomi smiled. Hiroshi melted with her sincere smile, he blushed.

Makoto get sick of this orange head. "Stop it. I want to puke looking you act shy over a girl." He straightforwardly said.

"Don't start the war here. I want to rest peacefully." Kentaro finished his meal early and decided to kill the time while waiting for them with sleeping.


I just get a simple idea for the story. Hope you like it. In this chapter, I try to show how the team communicate with the OC. I don't know if it good.

Please review.
