Chapter eight

"Is everybody already here?"

After Seirin's summer camp and Kaijou – Toou match, the team already gathered at the train station to head back to Tokyo. But before leaving, the team made sure that all of them are present. You know… Kagami and Kuroko.

"Sorry for the wait. Kagami and I got carried away." Kuroko said as he bowed down.

Hyuuga just hit the two with his paper fan that appeared out of nowhere.

"GOT CARRIED AWAY?! WHAT IF WE DIDN'T MANAGE TO CATCH THE TRAIN! D'AHO!"

"We said sorry. It's already fine right? It's not our fault we got carried away. Everyone did."

"Maa, maa, don't be so angry, Hyuuga-kun."

Another vein just popped on Hyuuga's head.

"Arigatou, Kiyoshi-senpai." Kuroko bowed his head again.

"It's fine, Kuroko-kun. No one wants to face Hyuuga's wrath anyway."

"OI KIYOSHI!"

Kuroko's lips just formed a small curl while Kagami chuckled.

The train arrived and the team stumbled to get on.

"Ahh! There's so many people!"

"Oi! Where would I sit?"

"Just stand up, Kagami-kun."

"Ne, ne, where is Yuri-chan?"

Ah. Koganei finally noticed.

The others froze, and frantically started to look for her in all directions.

"OY WHERE'S OUR IMOUTO?!"

"STOP THE TRAIN! STOP THE TRAIN!"

"Ah, excuse me."

All heads turned to Kuroko.

"Do you have something to say, Kuroko?"

"Yuri-chan told me that she's not going to go home with us."

"Eh? Why?"

"She told me earlier that she's going somewhere."

"EH? YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS COACH? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US EARLIER?"

"Teehee. "

"DON'T TEEHEE ME COACH!"

Ah, captain, chill.

"To think of it, where would Yuri-chan go, anyway?"

"To meet with Kise-kun, I guess."

[~]

Kise's POV (OMG BBY ILOVEYOU3)

Ah! Playing with Aominecchi is very tiring. Our match with Toou Gakuen just ended. Unfortunately, we lost, but not on a wide margin. We're still in the top eight of Japan! There's no need to become sad right. My senpais were all there for me until the last second of the game. They believed in me, and that made me feel happy. I lost to Aominecchi because I was not strong enough, so I will train hard and beat him in the winter cup-ssu!

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, so I fished it out and read the message. It's from Yuri-chan~ssu! Ah. I don't feel bad anymore. 3

From: Yucchi / 3 3 3

Subj: YO~! :D

Yo Ryotan! Let's hang out together! I saw your game. :D You did very well! 3 Meet me at the cosplay café in the arena. See you!

End

Yuccchi asked me to hang out with her! Is this even real?

(KyleMea note: I can imagine Kise fanboying. xD AHAHAHAHA! My bby is so cuuute 3)

"Ah, Moriyama senpai, I think I will not join you on your way back to Kanagawa."

"Why?"

"Ah, a friend of mine – "

"That friend of yours… Is she a girl?"

"Eh? Y-yes."

"Then introduce me to her."

"EH? NO WAY SENPAI!"

"You're defying your senior's orders now, Kise?!"

"HIII! NO! It's just that… She's my bestfriend, and, and-"

"Okay, okay. I get it. You can go now, but introduce me to girls next time, hm?"

"H-hai, senpai. Thank you very much!" I bowed then I ran off to the cosplay café Yucchi was talking about. Girls don't like to wait, right?

[~]

I arrived at the café after a minute, then I quickly searched for a gorgeous girl with long black hair and sparkly black eyes and a smile so sweet that can make my heart skip a beat.

Eh? What was that? Am I fanboying again?

"Ryotan! Over here!"

"Hi Yucchi!"

"Hi Ryotan! Haven't seen you in a while…"

"Mm. What brings you here, Yucchi?"

"Hm… I just want to be with my bestfriend for a while…"

Yucchi, you're so cute. /

"Oy Ryotan, are you not feeling well? You're flushing."

"A-ah, it's nothing~ssu."

"Are you hungry or what? Let's order something."

"Ah, go on."

[~]

"Ahh. I'm full!"

"Ne Yucchi, do you want to take a stroll around? I heard there's a festival somewhere near."

"I've heard of it too, let's go there later, hm?"

"Of course~ssu!"

"But it's still early, what are we going to do?"

"Hm, how about playing basketball?"

"Ah, basketball freak."

"Hidoi~ssu."

We just made our way to the nearest basketball court.

[~]

The ball was currently in Yucchi's possession. She may be not-so-tall, but she moves very fast. Our scores are 130-129 in my favour, of course. We just played the whole afternoon. Our scores always tied. My fatigue from the match earlier was not helping.

"Ne, ne, Ryotan."

"What is it, Yucchi?"

"You know…"

"What?"

"I just noticed, you're kind of… cute."

"Eh?"

I just saw the ball passed through the hoop.

"WHAT THE-"

"Ahehehhe. I thought that strategy won't work, but it did! Yay! Hey, are you not used at hearing compliments? You're a model, right?"

"Mm." was all that came from my mouth. Being complimented was not a new thing for me, but hearing it from Yucchi, hey! It was the first time she said I was cute!

"Oy, Ryotan, you're flushing again."

"Ah, don't mind me~ssu. It's just that…"

"Hm?"

"This is the first time you told me that I was cute, so…"

Yucchi just smiled a me.

"Well, Yucchi is cute too~ssu."

Yucchi shifted her gaze away from me. Is she blushing?

"Let's just go, Ryotan. The festival is going to start."

[~]

We just strolled around, and time and time Yucchi made me play games because she wants many prizes. Yucchi loved catching the goldfish though her net always gets broken, so she made me do all the work. It's the same for the hoop shooting, and yeah, Yucchi loved candy apples! She said it was her first time in a festival, so she really enjoyed her time.

"Ne, Ryotan, thank you for today! I really enjoyed being with my bestfriend."

"Mm! Anything for you, Yucchi."

"Oh, they're already lighting up the fireworks!"

"Ne, ne, Yucchi. I want to tell you something."

"Hm? What is it? OMG FIREWORKS! They're lighting it up!"

"I love you Yucchi!"

I looked at Yucchi as she watched the fireworks in awe. Her eyes were sparkling like she was seeing the most beautiful sight in the world. As the fireworks died down, she looked at me. I swallowed hard. Now what reply would she tell me?

"Eh? What did you say Ryotan? The explosions were loud, I didn't hear you. Hehehehe."

DAMN FIREWORKS.

~SSU.
