Dom: Sorry this was held up for a while, but our college (like what course you are taking not the school itself) had a party that we are all required to go so yeah… It was more of a program though than a party. Anyway, fourth reason~

Kasamatsu screamed inside the locker room as he banged his fists against the metallic surface of a locker. How could he be so stupid? How could he miss a pass?

Tears streaked down his face. It was his fault that they lost.

After several more minutes of venting out his frustration about himself, he made sure that his appearance didn't give away anything before exiting the room. He froze when he saw who was sitting against the wall, in front of the door, waiting for him.

"K-Kagome?"

The first-year removed her headphones when she was pretty sure someone called her. A bright small took over her face, "Yukio!"

"W-What are you doing here?" Kasamatsu walked over to the girl and offered a hand.

Kagome accepted it and dusted any dirt on her, "What do you mean? Don't we always go out to eat after your games?" her head tilted cutely to the side.

"Oh yeah…"

Kagome blinked. Confused as to why her boyfriend is acting like that. Taking his hand in hers, she pulled him along, "Come on. Let's go to Maji."

"U-Uh, hai…"

After eating in silence, which was unusual, Kagome asked if they could drop by a street court and play a few rounds.

"Come on, Yukio! Please! You're usually happy when we play basketball," Kagome pouted as she dribbled the orange ball.

Kasamatsu sighed, turning his head away, "I'm just not in the mood today, Kagome."

"How come?"

Silence.

"If I make this shot, will you tell me?" Kagome bargained.

"What?" Kasamatsu turned to her, seeing her a little away from the three-point line.

"If I make this shot," the girl held up the ball, "will you tell me why you're acting like that?"

Kasamatsu released a breath through his nose before nodding, "Do as you wish. It's not like you're going to—"

SWISH!

The ball went in effortlessly.

Running towards the bouncing ball, Kagome held it under her arm, "Will you tell me now?" she asked her still shocked boyfriend.

The boy contemplated for a moment before saying, "I was thinking of quitting basketball."

Kagome gaped, "What? Why?"

Silence was Kagome's answer and it confirmed her suspicions.

Sighing, she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, dropping the ball in the process, "Don't tell me you're blaming yourself about today's loss."

"But it is my fault! If I hadn't missed that pass then—" he was interrupted by a kiss to his lips. His eyes immediately slid close as his arms wounded on her waist.

Pulling away, Kagome smiled, "Basketball is your passion. Quitting because of losing is stupid. It's not fair that you're going to stop doing what you love because you lost. Everything happens for a reason, Yukio. Maybe the team wasn't meant to win the Interhigh yet because something big is going to happen to you guys. Something better than winning the Interhigh so keep your head up, okay?"

Kasamatsu stared at her before scoffing in light amusement, "You're too damn optimistic, you know that?"

Kagome just grinned at him before pulling his head down for a passionate kiss.

Still amused, Kasamatsu tightened his hold on her, returning the kiss and suddenly, he couldn't care less that they lost. That he missed the pass. The only thing he cares about this moment is this girl in his arms, kissing him, showing him, that no matter what, she's still there for him.

Win or lose, she's still his lucky charm.

The way she kisses him and all of a sudden everything is right in the world.
