Secret Revealed: by AngelicHana
Practice and Competition
*in the gym*
The Shoyo basketball team raised their eyebrows in bewilderment. Everyone of them was thinking Is this for real?
"So... He is going to join the team?" questioned on of the players, Shiho.
"Yes, he plays really well. Don't let his look fool you." Tsuzuki smiled. The team blushed.
"Look is deceiving. Remember Sakuragi Hanamichi. Lots of people underestimated him," said Masaya.
"Who is Sakuragi Hanamichi?" asked Tsuzuki.
"He was a basketball player in Shohoku. Now I think he is married to Rukawa Kaede," Hoshino helpfully answered.
"Rukawa Kaede sounds like a guy's name," said Tsuzuki.
"He is," said Hoshino.
Tsuzuki eyes widen. "Really?!"
"It's no big deal. Our star player form years ago, Fujima Kenji and Hanagata Touru, are also together," said Shiho.
"Really..." Tsuzuki stole a glace at the person next to him.
"How about we see how his skills are then we will decide if we could accept him." said the captain, Seki.
"Ok." Tsuzuki turned to his partner. "Show them the efforts of your practice," Tsuzuki whispered encouragingly.
Nodding, his partner did some warm up exercises. Taking a ball, he stepped onto the court. The team watch in amazement at the performance. Jaws dropped.
"Stop," said Seki.
The performer stopped his play and look at the captain.
Seki smiled. "Welcome to the team Hisoka."
*lunch, outside*
"Congratulation on making the team Hisoka," said Kibou, softly.
"Thanks," replied Hisoka.
"HISOKA!!!"
Both of them turned to see who was yelling.
"Tsuzuki." Hisoka looked little annoyed.
"Tsuzuki-sensei." Kibou look surprise. She rises from her spot under the shade of the tree and bow to Tsuzuki. Turned to Hisoka.
"I didn't know you know Tsuzuki-sensei," said Kibou in confusion.
Hisoka shot a look at Tsuzuki. Tsuzuki look slightly ashamed.
"My father know his father," replied Hisoka.
"Oh." Kibou was unconvinced but let the matter drop. "Tsuzuki-sensei, would you like to join us?"
"OK!" Tsuzuki smiled cheekily. After sitting down he start to take out his lunch. One after another sweet stuff come out, apple pie, chocolate cake, etc. Kibou sweatdropped. Hisoka's eye twitched.
"Eto... Tsuzuki-sensei, can you eat all of that? It's not very nutritious." Kibou asked hesitantly.
"It's ok." Tsuzuki's eye were shining. "Lets eat!" Tsuzuki start gobbling down his 'food'.
Everyone start to eat.
Tsuzuki took a bite out of a slice of apple pie, looking thoughtful. "Hisoka..."
"Hn?" Hisoka look at Tsuzuki.
Tsuzuki smiled at Hisoka softly. The held his 1/4 bitten slice of apple pie slice to Hisoka. "Wanna bite?"
Hisoka blushed. "Baka!" He glance at Kibou. She was preoccupied with her food. Hisoka turn back to the apple pie. Leaning forward he hesitantly took a bite. Then he pull back like the food was poisonous. Tsuzuki smile widen. Looking at the pie like it was a treasure (AnglicHana: I want that pie OnO) he bit the part where Hisoka last bite. Hisoka blush deepen. Unknown to them Kibou was watching.
*Kibou's POV*
I know there is something between those two. Tsuzuki-sensei care for Hisoka-kun was more that acquaintance or even brother relationship.
I continue to study them under my eyeglass. I pretend to look like I am engross with my food.
"Wanna bite?" I heard Tsuzuki ask. I held my breath waiting for the reply.
"Baka!" I let out a silent sigh of relief. Wait. Why is Hisoka looking at me like that?
My heart stopped when I saw Hisoka actually bite the pie. I saw the whole exchange. My heart hurt as I stare at Hisoka's blushing face.
An indirect kiss...
*Back to narrator POV*
Hisoka try to calm his racing heart. He breath in and out slowly until he felt better. He look at Kibou to see if she notice anything.
Something is wrong.
Kibou look as white as sheet. She look like she can faint any second.
"Daijoubu Kibou-san?!" asked Hisoka, alarmed.
Kibou look up in surprise. "Ha...Hai. I just feel a little sick all of a sudden. I...I think it is the food..."
"Kibou-chan, do you want me to take you to the infirmary?" asked a worried Tsuzuki.
"Iie. I can make it myself. Why don't both of you finish your lunch." Smiling weakly, Kibou walk toward the school.
"Do you think she will be alright?" asked Hisoka.
"Hn," replied Hisoka. If so then how come I feel so worried?
*Practice*
"Alright everyone gather up!" shouted Seki.
Everyone gather in a loose circle.
"As most of you know we have a game with Kainan this Saturday. We must win this year!"
"HAI!!!"
*Saturday, at the game*
"My, my. There is a lot of people here. So noisy," exclaim Watari.
"Yes. It is quite stifling here," said Tatsumi.
"Most of them are girl. They are just here to look at the guys." Konoe said, content.
"Shhh. The game is starting. Go Hisoka!!" cheered Wakaba.
-30 seconds left- (AngelicHana: Gomen minna! I'm not got at writing out the game play. Gomen!)
Score: 50/50
A Kainan player and Hisoka was at low post. Hisoka'a back was against the Kainan player. Hisoka was able to create enough space between them for a crossover. Hisoka already did a half jump before the Kainan player jumped. By then Hisoka already launch the ball. The ball went neatly in side the basket. The buzzer went off. Shoyo win by 52/50.
The crowd cheered loudly, almost deafening. Everyone ran to congratulate the team.
Tsuzuki ran and gave Hisoka a tight hug.
"We won," Tsuzuki whispered to Hisoka.
"Hai," replied Hisoka softly. Hisoka lean onto Tsuzuki, weary from the game.
Hisoka suddenly felt an intense stare from above. Hisoka raised his head and look for the owner of the stare. Hisoka felt the intensity slowly ease as if the person is leaving. A figure caught his eye. From above a petite figure was leaving, its back facing him. The figure left through the door with its twirling end of his/her trenchcoat floating behind him/her. Hisoka eye linger for a while before something else caught his eye.
It was a person with silver hair. He was wearing a white trenchcoat. He was staring at Tsuzuki while licking his lips. As if feeling Hisoka's heated glare, he drag his eye away from Tsuzuki to look at Hisoka. When he made eye contact with Hisoka, he smirked. Then he left the same way the mysterious figure did.
Muraki...
