Chapter 24: Study camp

--At Akagi's house--

#Rukawa#
I was tired to have revision after the practice. Although practice ended earlier than usual, I was not in good mood to study right now at this moment and at this place.

It ruined my dinner with Kiku...

"Kaede, don't sleep." Kiku said before she went to help Mitsui on English.

I nodded mutely.

Well, I will try but I can't guarantee.

Captain continued teaching Math and Physic. Those things that I already knew but Do'aho gave him some interesting answers. I really wondered what lesson he learnt from! I was too boring and I "accidentally" slept finally.

#Kiku#
When I was still teaching Mitsui senpai the English grammar, I heard Akagi senpai shouted like Gori!

"Sakuragi!" He shouted, "What kind of answers are there? You Baka!"

I smiled.

"And you, Rukawa!" He continued, "Wake up at once or I will kill you."

I giggled. Surely, Kaede fell asleep.

"Interesting? They are always the happy elements in the team." Mitsui suddenly said.

I nodded.

"Oh, sorry! Let's continue." I said.

"Haruko! Come and give a hand." Akagi shouted, "It is impossible to handle two bakas."

I laughed finally.

"Kiku." Akagi shouted, "What are you laughing at? Teach that baka his English."

Before I answered, Mitsui senpai shouted back.

"Who do you refer baka?" He shouted, "You, annoying Gori!"

I wouldn't help but rolled my stomach and laughed on the sofa.

They are really funny.

#Rukawa#
Ayako hit my head by her paper fan and woke me up.

What'd happened?

Kiku laughed while rolled on the sofa. Captain Akagi stared at Mitsui. Mitsui face reddened and stared back. Haruko stood beside me helplessly.

"OK! Go back to where we are." Ayako shouted, "We are here to study!"

"Akagi senpai, you teach Hanamichi. Mitsui senpai, you learn from Kiku. Haruko, you teach Rukawa. And Rukawa, you make sure that you don't sleep again." She continued.

Right, everything seemed back to normal.

Haruko pointed to the equation and tried to explain. But her voice too soft and she was too scare to face me.

Why does she scare of me? I really don't know. Anyway, she tried hard to talk to me although she scares about my exterior.

She kept her eyes down for an hour.

"scare?" I muttered.

"um...?" She headed up and down immediately.

Sighed, I better finish this fast otherwise, she would be scared to die.

#Kiku#
I finished teaching Mitsui senpai and he leaned on the sofa and slept immediately.

I looked at Kaede who finished his work and passed it to Hurako.

He leaned on the table and slept immediately.

"How does his work?" I asked while walking toward the dinning table.

"um...nearly all correct." Hurako said.

"He is smart." Ayako said.

"What?" Someone shouted.

We turned and see Sakuragi standing beside the table.

"Are you finished?" Hurako asked.

"Ha...ha...Of course." He shouted, "I am the Tensai."

He then noted that Rukawa was sleeping.

"Hey! Kitsune." He shouted and shook Rukawa, "How come you already sleep?"

"Don't, Sakuragi-kun." Hurako said, "Do you hungry?"

"Yeap." He said happily.

After Hurako turned to the kitchen, he started again with Kaede.

"Hey! Wake up. Kitsune. Hurako is cooking something to eat."

"Let him sleep!" Ayako hit Sakuragi.

"Itai..."

"I take him to the sofa." I said.

They looked at me.

"Are you sure?" Ayako asked uncertainly.

I nodded.

"That's great." Sakuragi said.

"Kaede, wake up and sleep on the sofa." I gently shook Kaede.

#Rukawa#
I opened my eyes and saw Kiku standing besides smiling.

"...time to go?" I muttered.

"um..."

She looked confused. I looked around and recognized that I was in Captain's house.

"Let sleep there on the sofa." Kiku said holding my arm.

I nodded and stood up while Kiku were still holding my arm.

I learned that Sakuragi, Ayako and Hurako were looking at us. But I just ignored them.

I sit on the only left 1-seat sofa.

"OK! You sleep here." Kiku said softy and let go of me.

"Don't." I felt tense and pulled her back.

"Hm...?"

"Stay here with me." I muttered.

#Kiku#
"Don't." He pulled me and I fell on the sofa.

"Hm...?" I wondered what did he want.

"Stay here with me." he muttered.

I looked at him.

"Stay with me." he muttered again.

"Hm...?" My face a bit burned, "They all looked at us."

"I might not sleep well." He said softy.

I suddenly remembered that he always get nightmare and of course, he didn't want any of his teammates knew it.

"Nightmare..." I nodded.

Flashback

"Are you alright?" I said worriedly eyeing on Rukawa sleeping on the sofa of my house after dinner.

He opened his eyes.

"Have a nightmare?" I asked.

He nodded.

"What's happened." I asked and sit beside him.

"Mummy mis-took me as otousan." he whispered.

I kept quiet and let him continued.

"I said I am Kaede but she doesn't remember me." he muttered, "She just scolded to me and shouted to me as if I am my father."

"What did she say?" I asked. I guessed if it would be better if he could speak it out.

"I wouldn't remember nor understand." he whispered, "but it wasn't any good."

"Damn! I've ever never seen my otousan." I muttered, "How should I know what'd happened to mummy? I couldn't help."

"Kaede." I said softy. I couldn't see him like this.

He shook and stood up.

"Kaede." I asked.

"I am going to play basketball." He said.

"What?" I wondered I hearing wrongly, "It's 11 in the evening."

I pushed him back on the sofa.

"I don't want to sleep." He whispered while hiding his head in his hand.

"No. Stay here." I said, "I stay with you and you can sleep well."

I then leaned closer him in order to comfort him.

He looked at me.

"Sleep." I said.

He looked at me. Then he suddenly put his arm under my waist and pulled me closer.

I looked at him and he closed his eyes already.

End of Flashback

#Rukawa#
"Nightmare..." she muttered.

She did really know me. I just afraid that I would suddenly scream out at Captain's house.

I put my hand under her waist and pulled her closer.

Sigh of Relieved.

"Good night." I whispered.

#Kiku#
He held on my waist and pulled me closer. Although this was not the first time, I felt shy when he did it at this moment.

But his form calmed and his eyes closed.

"Good night." He whispered softy.

"Good night, Kaede." I muttered.

Putting my head on his chest and my hand around his waist, I slept with him on the 1-seat sofa at Akagi senpai's house.

Next morning...looking at the sleeping couple on the 1-seat sofa.

"When they become like this?" Akagi asked.

"Yesterday night." Ayako replied.

"No, I don't mean this." Akagi said, "Their relationship indeed."

All shrugged.

"How can we know." Ryato said, "He seldom talks and Kiku only talk about basketball when practice."

"An English when teaching me." Mitsui muttered.
