Training had gone well these last few days. Kind of.
The first three days were the baseball players trying to show off in front of Misaki, just because she could hit the ball farther than them. They said that it was admiration and Misaki said that they just wanted to get better.
The basketball team called it annoying.
Gosh darn, she was theirs, not the stupid baseball team's. She was their goddess on the court; the one that would take anything to protect her teammates. She was not allowed to be stolen.
Misaki had wondered why the team worked harder from the fourth day on, and why Crystal had a sly smile on her face with her Dad standing beside her with an amused smirk on his face. Yet, she was proud of her boys doing well. She couldn't wait to get on the court two weeks from now to see how much they improved.
She wasn't disappointed.
At the court, the boys were faster and their arms were stronger. Crystal and Mr. Momoka had checked the boy's physical bodies to find any type of strain. Most of the strains that they had found were from their legs: ankles, knees, or calves. Luckily, they had caught the injuries in the early part of the year and had given them exercises to help.
Well, except for Ayumu Kaito. He had a bad sprain in his right wrist, yet he insisted on playing. The blue eyes were sad as Misaki ruffled his honey-blonde hair with a smile. He smiled a sad smile back, but he felt a little better with his close friend encouraging him.
"We'll keep you in unless we see that you can't handle it anymore." Crystal promised.
"Thanks, Crystal." Ayumu smiled wider, and Crystal, yet again, wasn't shocked that he had his own fan club inside the school. Heck, she wouldn't mind saying yes to a boy this kind and good-looking. Misaki probably would say that she could, but only because she's known him since they arrived back in Japan.
"Don't worry about it." Mr. Momoka smiled. "Don't forget that I'm a nurse; you can't hide any sort of injury from me, Kaito-san."
"Let's go practice." Misaki cut in. "We all have an important game coming up."
Misaki stepped onto the court and called, "First years! Come over here; we have to work on some things together. Second and third years, please split up and play a practice match. Today, we are going to work on teamwork. This is the only way that we will have a fun season."
"Yes ma'am!" The voices resounded throughout the whole gym.
"Misaki, can I ask a question?" A Strawberry blonde with green eyes asked.
"Sure."
"Who are we facing?" Misaki grinned.
"Kirisaki, of course."
Uh... Hi! I'd like to say thanks for reading this book, but that's boring. I'll be boring for one sentence, though.
I don't usually do Author Notes, because I don't really like the idea, but I'm okay if it's just answering questions. And to thank the reveiwers.
Alice, you asked how often I update. I usually write on my spare time, but I don't think that I will be able to with school and fall softball coming up. I'll try to update at least once a week. Thanks for the reveiw!
Shadow, thanks for adding my story to a community and for reveiwing. You were the first reveiwer for me.
Also, I would like for you guys to put some of your input to the story. I'm not very good at putting couples together, so I'd like some advice. I'll give you the list of characters that you can pair.
-The normal cast of the show: Generation of Miracles, Seirin, ect.
-Crystal
-Misaki
-Ayumu
-Jake (someone that I'll introduce later; he's Misaki and Crytal's friend from America)
Ja ne!
