"What happened then? After the game, I mean?"

"To this day, I swear I saw her in that alley that night, when I was talking to my sister."

"Yeah? What makes you so sure?"

"Well, I thought I saw a bit of blonde hair then, but I convinced myself I was just tired, and went to bed. But, two days later, I woke up with a hand-sewn catching glove - stuffed with cash - sitting on my lap."

"Fascinating! And, you never saw this person again?"

"No, but I keep looking. I wanted to thank her. Her gift helped me care for my little sister until I could find a job. I was only thirteen then. She was probably a few years older, and Yaya was eleven. She pretty much saved the both of us from starving. Yaya's dream is to meet her, so she can thank her properly. Frankly, I'd like that too."

"And there you have it, folks! The full story on the mysterious blonde 'hero' who inspired and ultimately saved the rising baseball star, Kukai Souma! If you or someone you know may have any information regarding this person, you are asked to contact us! Next week, we catch up on his career in baseball since then, and predictions for years to come!"


Erm... The end? DON'T KILL ME PLEASE!
