Miyuki's POV

Huh what I'm not your Ei-chan what is that supposed to mean? I yelled at him to come back but he was long gone signing I headed to my room and thought things over. Is he really Ei-chan and what does he mean? I mean we all changed but this Sawamura really doesn't seem like Ei-chan. I mean Ei-chan had a nice cheerful attitude and was a loud mouthed guy but Sawamura was quiet and shy. But everything else was the same their pitches, smile and face. Urgh it's like trying to find a difference between identical twins.

Signing I decided to talk to Kuramochi and the others about it. I smiled in content of what kind of punishment he was going through because he accidently hit a ball at Ryousuke. Chuckling I headed to sleep. When I woke up the next morning I headed to my homeroom class before going to the baseball field. After like 10 minutes I walked out to the field and I saw Sawamura talking to Haruichi I was going to go talk to him but shock my head no. I walked over to Kuramochi and sure enough he was limping a bit. Smirking I told him about Sawamura didn't feel right to call him Ei-chan at the moment.

He nodded in understanding and decided to get the whole team together and talk about it without Sawamura knowing. I figured it was a good idea so throughout the day I told my teammates not calling them friends to meet me in the lunchroom after practice today. They didn't question me probably because they knew it was about Sawamura. Throughout the day I caught for Sawamura and for Furuya. I also tried to teach the two how to field but no luck. Then I tried to teach Sawamura how to bat but failed he was only good at bunting at least Furuya was good at batting.

After I took a bath I headed to the lunchroom to see all my teammates were there even Furuya who said he wasn't coming. He and Ei-chan were rivals but they cared for each other so yeah. Smiling I closed the doors behind me and cleared my throat and everyone looked at me

"So what do you think of Sawamura? Do you think he is Ei-chan?" I asked looking at my teammates

"I think he is it is possible he got quiet and insecure after his grandmother and farm got burnt down" Chris said

"I agree with Chris I think he is Ei-chan he had the same pitch and when he plays baseball he has the same spirit" Kuramochi said and for the first time didn't have any emotion in his voice

"I think so too but I think find it hard to believe he became this different because of Nana-san's death" Furuya said

"True but Nana-san was the one that taught his baseball and her farm was his favorite place to be he told me that himself" Haruichi said quietly

"He's right Nanami was like his mother and best friend at the same time" Ryousuke piped up

"So we all think he's Ei-chan right?" I asked after 20 minutes of sharing out opinion

"Hai" they all said smiling I said "so who's going to ask him about Ei-chan? I asked looking around

"Why don't you?" Kuramochi asked

"Huh? Why?" I asked confused

"Hum maybe because you're his boyfriend" Chris stated

"What that was years ago!" I protested

"But you're falling for him!" Kuramochi laughed and everyone else joined in. After 10 minutes "Fine" I snapped angrily and headed to the door.

"Good luck Miyuki!" they all yelled after me. Signing I shook my head and walked away towards the dorms. When I got there I asked the head of the dorm where Sawamura's dorm was and he told me. I walked up towards his room and when I go there I knocked slowly on his door. No one answered signing I took out a pencil and stuck it in the whole and jiggled it through till the door opened. I opened the door to see Sawamura on his bed reading a book staring at me shocked. I closed and the door as I smirked and walked over to his desk and pulled out a chair and sat in it.

"So what do you want if it's the science project its right there" he said and pointed to the paper on his desk.

"Nah I want to talk" I replied disregarding his rudeness and leaned back in my chair

"So what is it?" he asked quietly

"You're Ei-chan aren't you why don't you admit it? You know we want you back right?" I asked slowly trying not to rush things.

I saw he take a deep breath before talking "Don't you see I changed and I well kind of don't like it" he replied looking out the window

"Like it?" I asked

"Going back to the past" he admitted blushing a bit

"Eh so you're scared" I teased well, being me I had too

"I guess I am" he replied I was surprised he really had changed I mean the usual Ei-chan would be like I AM NOT!

"Oh why?" I asked softly moving towards him

"Of rejection" he replied

"Rejection? From who?" I asked sitting next to him

"From my friends and family I guess" he said simply after a while of silence

"Why? They love you" I replied

"Yeah you say that" he snorted

"Hum what do you mean?" I asked growing concern for this boy

"Mom and dad were sad over grandma's death but grandpa was devastated he hated looking at anything that reminded him of her. Including me I'm the splitting image of her and when I talk baseball he gets sad. Hurting my arm was one thing worrying my parents was another. They freaked out and dragged me out of baseball. After a few weeks they slowly became themselves again but I guess I won't change back" he finished with a sad tone

"Oh I see and your friends?" I asked

"Well I shut them all out except for Natsuki since she understood what I was going through, she was lost her family when she was younger" he said looking straight at me

"Okay so why didn't you tell us?" I asked staring right back at him

"I guess I was scared of rejection" he said again

"Rejection why would we reject you?" I asked very confused

"Cause I'm not me I'm not the optimistic, cheerful, over the top, hyper boy. I'm now a quiet, shy boy" he replied

"HAHAHA" I laughed and he stared at me

"What?" he asked

"Well I can't believe you were scared of that!" I laughed, I couldn't help it!

"Excuse me?" he snapped angrily but confused

"Look at me I have a terrible personality, Ryousuke has a scary personality, Kuramochi has a hyper over-the-top personality and Furuya has a quiet, annoying personality. And you're afraid of rejection?!" I shrieked

"SHUT UP MIYUKI!" he yelled at me

"The Sawamura Eijun I know is somewhere in there we'll be waiting for you to come to us no matte your personality" I paused "I'll be waiting for you" I said blushing a bit

"Miyuki" he whispered

"Though personally speaking I don't like either personality" I laughed

"MIYUKI!" he growled at me I dodged a pillow and ran out the door back to my dorm laughing all the way.
