Chapter Seven

It's been 5 days since Umi went to Tokyo to met her beloved cousins. And it's been 2 days since the Miyagi Qualifiers for the Spring Tournament started.

"Mi-chan, do you really need to go now?" Komori asked. He's been asking same question since yesterday, "I mean, can't you stay a little longer? It will be too long again before we see each other again."

"Yes, Mori-nii. Sorry." Umi replied somehow feeling guilty.

"Kiyomi atleast try persuading her to stay atleast for a day~" Komori cried at his cousin, or more likely be begged. But the later only ignored him.

Sakusa approached Umi.

"be careful on your way back." He stated, looking down at his small cousin.

"I will, Omi-nii!" Umi smiled, "So, I'll better get going. I need to be at Miyagi before the second game of my team starts."

She was about to enter the car but Sakusa hold her wrist. He pulled her into a hugged.

Suddenly, Komori stopped from crying, and started shouting.

"yah! Kiyomi you're not being fair! Why is it you allow Umi to touch you while I can't." Komori shouted like a jealous boyfriend.

Sakusa broke the hugged, and glared at him. Komori flinched.

"Shut up. She's an exemption." he told him, taking of his face mask before facing Umi again.

"let's see each other again soon." he said, bending down.

Umi just stared at Sakusa, cheeks starting to get red. Slowly, Sakusa's face is getting nearer and nearer until his lips touch her cheeks. In the background, Komori was astounded.

Hours later...

Umi was trying to looked for her team. But unfortunately she got lost. She tried calling them but they're not answering her call. She took a deep sigh.

"ehh, isn't it my Mimi-chan ~" A playful voice said from behind her.

"Oikawa-senpai!" Umi greeted.

"I told you before Toru is fine.." Oikawa insisted waving his hand in front of him.

Umi just smiled.

"who are you with? Aren't you with Tobio-chan?" Oikawa asked, looking from her behind.

Umi scratched her cheeks,

"W-Well, I just arrived from Tokyo, and I immediately went her. But unfortunately I got lost." She explained.

While she explained, Oikawa kept on nodding.

"is that so?" Oikawa cupped his chin like he's thinking deep,

Umi just stared at him.

"why not you just come with me? For sure if you're with me they'll be able to sense it..." he said, smiling. 'I mean, crows can detect if one of their territory is getting taken.' he thought.

Umi was about to reply but a flying ball appeared and it hit Oikawa on the back of his head.

"what do you think are you doing?!" a menacing voice came from behind Oikawa

Oikawa flinched.

"I-Iwa-chan?!" He stuttered.

Iwaizumi suddenly grabbed Oikawa from the collar,

"Sorry for troubling you, Miss." Iwaizumi apologised before dragging Oikawa away.

"Our game will start in 30 minutes yet here you are hitting on one of Karusono's manager!" Iwaizumi lectured.
