And The Beat Goes On
Disclaimer: I don't own rival schools, or any other company I may mention
It's been a month after the events that happened with the schools. I haven't kept in contact with anybody that I've met though me a Edge do still get into it periodically. The baseball season is rounding out and I was lucky enough to be let back on the team. Roberto's been juiced with energy since that scout talked to him, he's rarely seen without a smile not to mention he and Ran have been rather close. Natsu's been continuing her training for next season and is also competing in tournaments around Japan and some outside though she still bugs. She keeps telling me how I'll never be a pro because no team wants to sign a hot head like me.
Anyway to get back into the present. I'm in the middle of a game pitching, fifth inning. We have the lead 5-3 and if we win it's off to the playoff. I look around the field at my defense as the batter was prepairing to go up, Takeshi was standing on first with the runner minding his own business. Hige was standing near second base talking to our short stop Sanosuke, Taiki was on third throwing rocks out of the dirt, Yas in right was yelling something at Keisuke in center while Satoshi in left just watched the clouds go by, and Masako waited patienly behind the plate playing catcher. There's two outs, man in first and the man coming up to bat was one of the best hitters in the league: Nobuo Arai, this guy strikes fear into almost any pitchers heart with a .563 BA, 16 home runs, and 100 RBI's.
"Play Ball!" The umpire shouted.
"Alright Shoma show him he ain't got nothin' on you." Hige said.
"C'mon Shoma you got this." Takeshi said.
"Throw some of that funny stuff. Little bit of that funny money kid." Sanosuke said.
"Bring the heat." Taiki said.
I looked around me, at the fences ranging from 360 to 400 feet away, at the red, dusk, sky, at the green freshly cut grass in the outfield and around the pitchers mound as it cut off at the infield. I let out a sigh and began my wind up. Nobou spun the bat in little circles waiting for my pitch, Coach Yoshida had called for a slider outside. I gripped the seams as I brought the ball above my head hidding it in my glove, I brought my hands down by my stomach and brought my left hand out with the ball winding in a circle motion, I kicked off from the rubber and launched the pitch. The ball sailed outside away from the batter at high velocities and cut back in across the plate.
"Strike!" The umpire called.
"Wow! Now that's what I'm talking about!" Hige yelled.
"That's the good stuff." Taiki said.
I smiled slightly more like a smirk, I was ready to blow this guy away. Coach Yoshida called for a low curve ball, again I started my wind up. Noubo lifted his left leg along with my right, I launched the pitch. At about 76 mph the ball came low and dropped right under Nobou's swing.
"Yeah Shoma!" A female voice said.
I looked up, it was Hinata which ment.
"Come on Shoma bring the heat!" Natsu yelled.
One more strike and I'll blow this asshole away. Coach called for a fast ball and again Masako gave me the sign. I let out another sigh, it was inside. Again I started my wind up and after the usual motion I pitched the ball, it had to be going around 90 mph and it slipped. It sailed to far inside right at Noubo.
"Ah hell." I said as I finished my motion.
The ball connected with Nobou's back as he turned on it.
"Gah! You little asshole!" Noubo said as he began to walk towards me.
Masako ran up behind him, but I waved him back.
"Eh! Just go to first." I said looking him in the eyes.
He had to be about 5'10 and built, he kept walking towards me.
"Yeah, you don't want none. A little shrimp like you'll just get banged." He said
"Oh no." Natsu said.
"You want some ya little bitch! C'mon!" I yelled, this guy was talking too much and some body had to shut him up.
"Big words!" He said.
His walk became a run quickly. I settled low and side stepped to my right, as soon as he was in range I sprang forward and drop kicked him with my left foot in his chest. I felt my metal cleets dig into something. I stepped back as he slowly got up, I could hear the foot steps of players on my team and his. I ran up to him while he was on one knee and launched a hard right cross to his jaw, he didn't fall so I launched another and another till he fell with blood smeared on his face, his right eye was begining to close and his face was swelling.
"Shoma no." Natsu said.
"You worried about him." Hinata said more interested in the fight.
"What do you expect, he could be a pro but he's been in so many fights Gorin University is wondering if having a player who'll be suspended most of the season is worth it." Natsu said.
"Yeah I knew it." Hinata said.
"What?" Natsu asked even though she knew what she was going to say.
"You want some of that Shoma." Hinata said smiling and ignoring the fight since it was broken up.
"Friends, that's all. Besides he would make a horrible boyfriend." Natsu said reflecting on how many times she slapped, punched, kicked, tackled, and chased down Shoma. "He's always teasing me about something." Natsu said.
"And that's what makes him so damn irresistable to you."Hinata said.
"What?" Natsu said blandly.
"Well if he annoys you why do you always hang with him?' Hinata asked.
"We're friends damn!" Natsu said a little annoyed.
"And that's how I can tell you want him." Hinata said. "The way you act whenever you're talking about him. You get violent when teased about him, he and Roberto can barely hold you back when Momo pops up. You talk about how much you can't stand him on the phone, yet you won't shut up about him, and I found that picture of you two."
"The hell are you, what?" Natsu said.
"By the pool, Momo assulting Shoma before he can confess his love for you. Ran told me all about it and even took some pictures." Hinata said with confidence.
"Whatever." Natsu said turning towards the field blushing wildly.
"AHA!" Hinata said. "Well I proved my point, you know he'll be fuming so."
"Shut up!" Natsu yelled.
"Sorry, sorry." Hinata said cowering.
"Let go of me! I'll take 'em all on!" I yelled as my team held me back. I was blind with anger and wanted to take out the whole team.
"Shoma stop!." Hige yelled.
"Calm down dammit!" Yas yelled.
"Shoma!" Coach yelled.
"Always Shoma you always cause something! I can't have a player fighting every other game!" Coach Yoshida yelled.
"Fine! You don't need me, go to the playoffs without me!" I yelled grabbing my equipment and storming off.
"I stand down to no one!" I yelled exiting the field.
About 30 minutes later I was sitting at the bus loading docks still fuming. I was going to hear it from Dad, Grandad, and Suichi. Damn, maybe I should of let this one slide, naw my pride would never let me do that. I looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh, when suddenly I saw a hand smack.
"What the hell Natsu?" I asked. She's slapped me so many times I can identify her hand before connection..
"What's the matter with you?!" Natsu yelled.
I don't need this.
"You've known me long enough." I said turning my back torwards her.
"Shoma you damn stereotype you always do this!" She yelled.
"Do what?" I asked.
"Ruin things, that team needs you and you let them down by starting another fight. You know Gorin won't let you play!" She yelled again.
"Why are you yelling?" I asked.
"Because you're ruining your future!" She yelled.
"...What?" I asked. I was shocked that Natsu actually cared, I stared into her eyes wondering were that came from.
She began blushing immediatly and quickly turned away.
"Hahahahah!" I laughed.
"What!"Natsu yelled out of emberasment.
"I almost forgot you wore a girl!" I said holding back laughter.
"What?" She growled clenching her fist.
"Only a girl would really care about my future, any other one of my friends would have never cared about me like that!" I laughed. "I guess deep down there's a feminin side to you. No matter how hard you hide it." I said calming down.
"Shut up." Natsu said.
"Hah! You're still get emberrased too!" I laughed again.
"I'm gonna kill you!" Natsu said.
"Get some!" I yelled running off in the direction of her house, figured I would walk her home.
"Don't run!" Natsu shouted chasing after me.
After she chased me a couple of blocks we began to walk.
"So, got any tournaments coming up?" I asked.
"Yeah, in Ogawa park their's a small tournament, kind of a warm-up for that big tournament in Shirow Bay." Natsu said.
"Think you'll do good?" I asked.
"Don't know till I do it." She said.
"Hmm, when is it?" I asked.
"First one's April 15th in a week and the other's May 5th." She answered.
"Well I got a lot of free time on my hands." I joked causing a small giggle out of her. "I might go if I don't play for a traveling team." I said.
"Oh that's good...You know I hate to say this but you beat Noubo's ass." Natsu said.
"You're surprised, you're talking about Shoma Sawamura baseball extrodinar. I'm the greatest thing since the slider was invented." I said with a swelling ego. "Well we're here." I said as we aproached her house."
"Thanks for walking me home." Natsu said as we stood by her door. It was night out and starting to get cold.
"No problem. See you at school. Late." I said walking back down the path I came.
It was pretty nice out, would have been tranquil but.
"Shoma!" A voice called, I heard foot steps aproach me very fast.
"Hmm." Curiously I turned toward the owner of the voice.
"Hah I knew it!" It was Hinata, she must of tailed us.
"Stalker much." I said trying to avoid eye contact with her.
"So are you and Na."
"No." I inturrupted. "We're cool, just friends nothing more."
"Uh-huh right." She said following me.
"Shouldn't you be home?" I asked.
"No not yet, so you know Natsu has a thing for you." Hinata said.
"No she doesn't" I said, she was beginning to annoy me.
"I think you two would make a good couple." She said.
"That's nice." I said trying to ignore her.
"Wonder what the kids would look like?" She said to herself
I stumbled when I heard this, wow she was getting far ahead of herself.
"No need to wonder." I said blushing.
"You two would make a cute couple." Hinata said.
"Would, look friends. C'mon say it with me F-R-I-E-N-D-S why does everybody think if you hang around a girl you love her. I guess you could say I love her but a friendship love not no couple, married one day love. It would be like marrying Kyosuke for you." I said.
"Right, it's just the way you to act that give you away." Hinata said.
"You didn't hear a thing I said did you?" I asked.
"Natsu gets all expressive when speaking about you. Then you act all nice and calm when normally you would have been yelling by now. I'm telling you just denying it will only. Huh hey Shoma?"
"Oh god I thought she wouldn't shut up." I said reflecting on how I slipped behind her and hopped some fences to get away.
I walked the rest of the way home prepairing my mind for the heat I was about to catch for my fight, surprisingly I have a little bruise on my ribs from a body shot and that was it.
"This won't be pretty." I whispered to myself.
I walked into the average sized house, some of the lights wore on including the living room. I used my key to unlock the door and walked in with my head held high. And all I got was silence.
"Hey Shoma." Dad said.
"Huh?" I said.
By now the school had to of called, Coach maybe even came by to discuss my temper, wouldn't be the first time.
"Dad! How can you act like everything's alright! Shoma won't understand unless you beat it ino his head!" Suichi yelled coming out of the kitchen.
"No. Shoma doesn't want to listen so if he wants to throw away his future let him. It's his decision, maybe he'll learn if he gets into a fight he can't win." Dad said. sitting on the couch.
By now I was mixed in regret, anger, annoyance that they discussed me like I wasn't there, and rebellious, defying to put my head down in shame.
"What was I supposed to do, back down." I said.
"No, but you don't have to ruin the kid, you might have broken something. He's in the hospital now and you know you could have held off!" Suichi yelled again.
There's been to many people yelling today.
"And it isn't just that, it's how you always manage to get into a fight. This time yeah Noubo deserved the ass whoopin' but you always start fights! Just calm down. How will you go pro when a college won't even risk taking you." Suichi said calming down.
"Hmm. You're right, I'm gonna reflect on my actions so it's been a lot of fun, but, bye!" I said walking into my room to avoid everybody else. I needed to talk to somebody, I threw my gear on the ground and took my cell phone out of my school bag. Before I could dial a number somebody called.
"Natsu." I said quietly.
I answered.
"Catch hell yet?" She asked.
"Not really but my dad did give up all hope on me. Says I won't calm down till somebody beats my ass out there." I said taking off my shirt and laying on my bed.
My room was a mess, gloves, baseballs, hats, and random clothes laid everywhere and some hung off my computer, desk, and chair.
"Get on the computer." Natsu said. I heard sounds like her getting off of her bed.
"Why?" I asked.
"Just do it." She said.
I got on the internet and found Natsu online, so was Taiki, and Hige.
"Your web cam on?" She asked.
"Hold up." I said switching the cam on.
I brought up Natsu's image, she was relaxed in some pj bottoms and a cut off shirt that was kinda tight.
"Wow, your room is always dirty." She said.
"Yeah I know. To lazy to clean." I said.
"So your dad finally gave up on you eh?" She asked.
"Can't blame him. Now that I think about it I've always been trouble." I said.
"That the voice of regret?" Natsu asked.
"Hell no, wouldn't change a thing." I said.
"You know they just want you to succeed, they know you can do it. Hell you know you can do it but." Natsu was cut off.
"I'm a knuckle head right. I'm tired of talking about this." I said.
"You know we have a project coming up in Chemistry." Natsu said.
"Yeah, around time for school to end. Can't wait, you need summer school?" I asked even though I already knew the answere.
"Don't be stupid." Natsu said. "If you don't then I don't."
"Yeah guess I owe you, I never would have studied, or did homework, or do classwork if it wasn't for you nagging." I said.
"Yeah well we're friends right." Natsu said cocking her head to the right side and smiling.
"Natsu...Why are you so nice to me?" I asked.
"Huh?" Natsu was a little off-guard. "Well...You are an asshole sometimes but you have your good qualitlies."
"Like?" I asked.
"Well when I'm with you I'm never bored." Natsu said.
"So Berto never existed." I said teasing.
"Well when we're with you. Ah you are always full of fire and it's kind of fun." Natsu said.
"That so?" I asked.
"Yeah." Natsu said.
"Heh, Berto's never around since Ran came into the picture. I said.
"Yeah she broke up the trio...Bitch." Natsu said.
"Hahaha! Angry, was Roberto your crush?" I asked laughing.
"Huh, well no." Natsu said.
"Who is your crush?" I asked. "We're high school students with raging hormones."
"Ahhh, well. I don't really have one." Natsu said emberrased not looking toward me, she seemed really nervous.
"Well uh who's yours?" She asked biting her lower lip. She tends to do that when anxious or nervous along with saying "Well" and "Uh."
"Mines? well nice way to turn the script but alright." I said. Natsu seemed really anxious, she was about to bite her lower lip off. "Mines is." I said searching through the random mess on my desk till I found what I'm looking for. "Baseball!" I yelled holding a ball up with my left hand.
"You! whatever." Natsu said a little fumbled.
"What wore you expecting?" I asked. "You?"
"What? No uh hey I got homework alright. Bye." Natsu said logging off and hanging up.
"Hmm." I said. "Damn she's strange, whatever."
"Maybe she wants the Shoma?" Suichi said in a teasing tone.
"WAH!" I yelled surprised he was right behind me, damn he's stealthy, no privacy.
"She want Shoma to be all up inside." Suichi said thrusting his waist.
"Shut up!" I yelled grabbing some pj's, a towel, a wash cloth, and went inside the shower.
"They would make a good couple." Suichi said.

My room was a mess, gloves, baseballs, hats, and random clothes laid everywhere and some hung off my computer, desk, and chair.
"Get on the computer." Natsu said. I heard sounds like her getting off of her bed.
"Why?" I asked.
"Just do it." She said.
I got on the internet and found Natsu online, so was Taiki, and Hige.
"Your web cam on?" She asked.
"Hold up." I said switching the cam on.
I brought up Natsu's image, she was relaxed in some pj bottoms and a cut off shirt that was kinda tight.
"Wow, your room is always dirty." She said.
"Yeah I know. To lazy to clean." I said.
"So your dad finally gave up on you eh?" She asked.
"Can't blame him. Now that I think about it I've always been trouble." I said.
"That the voice of regret?" Natsu asked.
"Hell no, wouldn't change a thing." I said.
"You know they just want you to succeed, they know you can do it. Hell you know you can do it but." Natsu was cut off.
"I'm a knuckle head right. I'm tired of talking about this." I said.
"You know we have a project coming up in Chemistry." Natsu said.
"Yeah, around time for school to end. Can't wait, you need summer school?" I asked even though I already knew the answere.
"Don't be stupid." Natsu said. "If you don't then I don't."
"Yeah guess I owe you, I never would have studied, or did homework, or do classwork if it wasn't for you nagging." I said.
"Yeah well we're friends right." Natsu said cocking her head to the right side and smiling.
"Natsu...Why are you so nice to me?" I asked.
"Huh?" Natsu was a little off-guard. "Well...You are an asshole sometimes but you have your good qualitlies."
"Like?" I asked.
"Well when I'm with you I'm never bored." Natsu said.
"So Berto never existed." I said teasing.
"Well when we're with you. Ah you are always full of fire and it's kind of fun." Natsu said.
"That so?" I asked.
"Yeah." Natsu said.
"Heh, Berto's never around since Ran came into the picture. I said.
"Yeah she broke up the trio...Bitch." Natsu said.
"Hahaha! Angry, was Roberto your crush?" I asked laughing.
"Huh, well no." Natsu said.
"Who is your crush?" I asked. "We're high school students with raging hormones."
"Ahhh, well. I don't really have one." Natsu said emberrased not looking toward me, she seemed really nervous.
"Well uh who's yours?" She asked biting her lower lip. She tends to do that when anxious or nervous along with saying "Well" and "Uh."
"Mines? well nice way to turn the script but alright." I said. Natsu seemed really anxious, she was about to bite her lower lip off. "Mines is." I said searching through the random mess on my desk till I found what I'm looking for. "Baseball!" I yelled holding a ball up with my left hand.
"You! whatever." Natsu said a little fumbled.
"What wore you expecting?" I asked. "You?"
"What? No uh hey I got homework alright. Bye." Natsu said logging off and hanging up.
"Hmm." I said. "Damn she's strange, whatever."
"Maybe she wants the Shoma?" Suichi said in a teasing tone.
"WAH!" I yelled surprised he was right behind me, damn he's stealthy, no privacy.
"She want Shoma to be all up inside." Suichi said thrusting his waist.
"Shut up!" I yelled grabbing some pj's, a towel, a wash cloth, and went inside the shower.
"They would make a good couple." Suichi said.
Author's note: Hey well I had to throw in a shoma fanfic some time being a baseball player and all. Read, review, flame whatever is welcome. See ya around
