Chapter 2: It's Over
Watashi wa Tensai! Watashi wa Tensai! I can't believe it, I got in!!! And that kitsune is there as well, good. I can't still believe that Haruko and Gori are siblings! Who would have thought that that two were related to each other?
And Haruko apologized because of the way she acted.
*flashback*
"Gomen nasai, Sakuragi-kun, I didn't mean to talk to you like that. I.." she blushed furiously because of the embarassment she felt. She bowed her head and I stared at her.
"It's alright Haruko-chan, you're forgiven, I understand you" I said, earning a smile from her. She's cute when she smiles as well, hmm...
*end of flahback*
The training was tough but I got the hang of it. I'm not going to be defeated by a blue-eyed kitsune even if this was his sport! At least there is one person that doesn't seem to have any doubt of my performance. She cheered me on and on, never got tired of constantly cheering for the team and for me. But I know she only wants Rukawa. Her eyes would appear glazed and tiny hearts seem to appear right where her eyes should have been.
But no matter, at least I can give everything. I can have a purpose in life once again. My hope is slowly dying like a fire that slowly burns itself out.
"Sakuragi-kun, ganbatte!!!" she shouted and I hear her.
I performed a slam dunk and everyone cheered, but not the blue eyes kitsune. His eyes were still cold like ice and doesn't know how to cooperate with the others.
"Of course Haruko-chan!!! Nyahahahaha. Don't mistake the power of the tensai!!!" I shouted, letting my ego take all the fame and glory.
"Do'aho"
"Nani? Baka Kitsune!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted and stalked towards him..
*Slap*
"Sakuragi, stop your childish acts!" Ayako, the team manageress said. I rubbed my sore head and felt a bump that is starting to rise.
"Itai.." I whispered to myself as I felt the bump again.
I played for the team and I played my best everytime. They didn't understand that. Nobody does. They didn't know the real me. They didn't know who I am inside my egoistic and childish behaviour.
The training was goo and everyone did fine and as usual, the kitsune glared at me and I glared back.
"Sakuragi! You're in charge of cleaning the gym!" Gori said.
"Nani, Gori? Why would the Tensai be the one to clean the gym?"
That earned me another bump on my head. I cried out in silence as to not let my ego down. I grabbed the nearest mop and walked towards the gym. Everything was quiet and I can feel the tranquility in the place.
After hours of cleaning the gym up, I walked towards the locker room to change my clothes. God, I feel like I cleaned the whole world! body is killing me!
I undressed and take a long shower to ease my aching bones. It didn't help though. The quietness of the place seemed to echo the voices of the persons who didn't want me here. Who didn't want me to be alive.
[You cannot do it Hanamichi, you're nothing!]
"No.. it's not true.."
[You're nothing!!!]
"Shut up!"
[Do'aho]
I saw icy blue eyes in front of me. He smirks at me as he walked away. I feel tears begin flow from my face. I curled up to the corner of the shower stall I was in.
""Do'aho.."
A simple word send shivers to my spine. I refused to open my eyes. I'm afraid to see him looking me with those cold eyes of his. I still in that position when I felt something hold my arm. I tried to dislodge it.
"Sakuragi.." he whispered. I opened my eyes to look at him, really looked at him as if it was the first time.
His eyes were not as icy anymore. There was a emotion in his eyes. The kitsune actually has feelings!!! What a realization!
"Sakuragi, what's wrong?" he asked. His whole body is soaked with water. The shower is still open and he didn't turned it off. I looked into his eyes again and identified what the feeling is: PITY
"GET AWAY FROM ME! GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" I shouted.
I pushed him with all my might and scrambled away from the place. I grabbed my things and ran as fast as I can. Tears stained my cheeks as the cold wind blow the coldness I felt ever since I was a kid.
You'll see, all of you, you will see! I thought while running. I heard his screams as he called my name but I didn't listen. I don't want to listen, not anymore.
