I do not own Cross game and in the next chapter Hana, Ko and the rest of them are going to high school well except for Aoba and a new character will be there also.
New years
Hana's pov
Hmmm time goes by fast it's already new year… I wonder if I should visit Aoba and her family later after training… I should ask Ko if he wants to follow. " Hey Ko we should go to training that Akaishi wanted us to go now." " Oh yeah I totally forgot but why does he want the both of us to train on New years." "I don't know, let's just go." While we were walking to Seishu we passed by the Tsukishimas and saw Uncle Tsukishima putting luggage into the car while Ichiyo was talking to Aoba. " Are you guys going somewhere?" I asked. " yes we are but only me and my dad because Momiji has a fever and Aoba has to take care of her and we are going to help out our grandma since she also sick." "oh ok." Ko and I replied. " oh yeah Hana, Ko can come by later so that you guys can see how she is doing." Ichiyo asked us. "What you trust Ko rather than your own sister." Aoba shouted. " Eh how about Hana?" Ichiyo asked Aoba. "Hana I don't mind but Ko I do." " oh ok so Hana, Ko can you do that for me." Ichiyo asked. " ok we will come by after training." We said. "Happy New Year" Ichiyo told all of us. "Happy new year" we replied. When they left we turned to Aoba and when Ko asked about Momiji she went into the house and said "Happy New Year" and slammed the door closed. Ko and I sweat dropped and we continued on to Seishu. While we were walking there we met Akaishi and he told us that someone would meet us there as well. Once we reached there we went to the high school division of the school and saw Nakanishi waiting for us. Akaishi told us " we're going to train here" " but isn't this trespassing?" Ko asked. " nobody is going to be here it's new year and the late afternoon." Akaishi told us. When we climbed up the fence before we jumped down Nakanishi had fallen off the fence and fell flat on his face. "Ouch that hurt." Nakanishi whined. When we were ready Ko went to pitch while Akaishi catches and Nakanishi the batter while I stood there and watched Ko pitching form and I would tell him if he had any mistakes in pitching. I realised that his pitching form is exactly the same as Aoba's and after a few pitches Ko asked " Akaishi there is supposed to be no one here right." " Yeah why?" " There is definitely someone here." Ko said. And we all turned to where Ko was looking and realised that there was someone there and Akaishi said it was the high school baseball coach. We ran to the coach and said " um, hello, we're sorry." " it's been a long time since I saw a training like this." The coach said. While we were walking away Nakanishi said " so this is the field we will be playing next year well except for you Hana unless we have a match against each other." " Oh yeah you're right." Ko and I ran home and after we took the ingredients that we were going to use to make the food for Aoba and Momiji. We went to their house and when we went in Aoba and Momiji were waiting for us and Aoba said " what is he doing here!" " huh the both of us are going to cook for you guys." While Ko and I were cooking, Nomo the cat came in and kept meowing at Aoba and when Aoba went to Momiji's room she never came back. So I went to check on her and I heard Aoba saying " I don't know what to do" and I was confused until I looked at Momiji and gasped. I told Aoba to get as much ice as she can so that we can cool Momiji down. When Aoba got the ice Ko had followed her into Momiji's room and asked what happened I told him that Momiji's fever went up. " wow Hana you really know what to do in this type of situation." " well she did take care of me when I was sick so she has experience." Ko told Aoba. " oh so that means you do not know what to do if Hana fell sick huh?" Aoba told Ko. " WHAT! That means we are in the same boat since you did not know what to do when Momiji's fever went up!" " Ok ok stop fighting you two you are disturbing Momiji." I told the both of them. " ok now let's leave her alone ok?" I stood up and went to the kitchen and Ko followed me. "Hey let's cook some soba since they have the ingredients for them. After a while Aoba came in the kitchen saying that Momiji had a dream of all of us when Waka-chan was alive. Aoba told us Momiji's dream and the both of us replied " oh yeah I remembered that Koa and I got a scolding from our parents that day since the both of us got injured." I went to check on Momiji alone and she was sitting up on the futon checking her temperature and she gave me a peace sign. " ok Momiji feeling hungry?" I asked her. " I'm starving, did you cook the food?" she asked me. "yup, why?" " Yay I can eat Hana's home cooked food!" " why are you so excited?" " it's just that I heard from Ko that your cooking is good and I wanted to try them." She told me. " oh ok, let's go" After all of us ate, we played a game of poker and when Aoba had gotten the joker, Ko needed to take one of her cards but the only one she would give was the joker. " Hey let me take another card" Ko whined. " No this is the only card you can take." Aoba told him. " What then I give up." After that all of us were tired and we fell asleep. The next morning I woke up and Aoba was sleeping next to me and I saw Momiji standing up and she told me " you two look so comfortable sleeping to each other."
