Shut Up, and Goodnight

By the time Hyuga had decided Takeshi was scared enough for life by his death threats and headlocks, he stood back and dusted off his hands.

"I'm going to bed," he announced loudly, glaring down at a very relieved Takeshi, who was rubbing the side of his head gingerly. "We've got a big game tomorrow."

Ishizaki, like always, couldn't resist another jab. "Eh, not gonna call your Okinawan sweetheart, first?"

Hyuga spun around, grabbed his slipper, and with a well-aimed pitch, flung it at Ishizaki. He watched with satisfaction as it smacked his forehead and bounced off, causing the boy to yell out and stagger in surprise, to ripples of laughter from their teammates.

It was a good throw. Almost worthy of a baseball pitcher. Hyuga felt a small tug in his stomach. Akamine Maki might've liked it, too.

"Face block that, monkey," said Hyuga shortly. "Goodnight, all."

"Goodnight, Kojiro."

"Goodnight, Hyuga."

"See you, Hyuga. Good work, today."

"Tell your girlfriend to come cheer for us tomorrow, okay."

"Shut it, Jito."
