Chapter 2
Reminiscence
"It's not a soccer ball !" a yell could be heard from the Odaiba Elementary School's field.
"I think I said that we'll play a ball. So, it's not only a soccer ball," Takeru stated calmly as he bounced the basket ball that he had to the ground.
Daisuke sighed. In one side, he was right, to think that he's just fooling him around.
"But why basketball? You can play volley-ball, golf-ball…" and Daisuke started to baffling about all the things with 'ball' at the end.
"It's simple. Basketball is a sport and game that everyone can play with," Takeru replied.
"Okay Takeru. You want that to meet my face again?" he scolded playfully, but not in satisfy.
The sudden statement almost made Takeru burst of laughter. Fortunately, he could hold it so that his friend would not kick his butt off.
"Of course not. It's just the moment of yours showing your skill only for Hikari's attention," he said as he adjusted his white hat before hearing the voice that calling his name.
"Takeruu! Daisukee!"
"Speak about Hikari…" Daisuke started. "Here she is," Takeru finished.
"Sorry for late," Hikari stopped right in front of the duo, catching a breath. Then, she smiled.
"But I drag the three of them along!" she pointed the senior of them. A brunette boy with such a weirdo hair style and a blonde that walked along him. Behind them, a red-haired girl following their step.
"Onii-chan!" Takeru shouted as he threw away the basketball that bounced and almost hit Daisuke's face.
"Don't call me like that Takeru," Yamato sighed. "You're matured than that," he sneered, but he accepted the hug from his lil bro.
"So, what's the plan?" Taichi asked his lil sis.
"Since that we're three on three, why don't we play that basketball?" Hikari said, pointing the ball.
"That's a good idea! I have no sport for this week," Sora exclaimed, glancing a look to the duo her friends, having a nod as the return.
"What? We're facing them?" Daisuke almost yelled, feeling that they couldn't win. But, win wasn't the important right? As long as everyone happy, he would be happy too.
"Come on. It's just a game," Taichi scoffed, and Sora giggled when they had to face them. All of them got to their position, readied theirselves.
The game was really amusing. There's a lot of time when Takeru passed the ball to Daisuke, and in a flash stolen by Taichi. But, what he didn't expected that Hikari made a quick step passing him as she got the ball, and shoot to the ring with a perfect shot.
The others were staring in awe. They didn't expect a shy girl like Hikari could have a talent playing basketball.
But, the child of light just giggled when they looked at her with that look.
There's a moment too when Daisuke shot the ball but it didn't go in, and Yamato quickly jumped and made a slam dunk, scored for sure. And the goggle boy could only groan in protest, seeing he definitely lost in height.
In the end, the senior group won, and they decided to have a rest. Sora sat between Yamato and Taichi on the bench near the field.
Taichi felt so happy that he could spent his time with the others. Remembering his past, he threw his look to the junior group who were still playing. Daisuke had the ball, and Takeru chased him while Hikari just watched them in amusement as the three of them laughed happily.
"They do remember us of our past right?" Yamato was the one who spoke first. Taichi, at the moment, stared at Yamato in horror.
"You're surely good at psychology Yamato," he stated, watching at the trio who now was chasing each other.
"Of course," Sora suddenly said. "In fact, they are almost like our past reflection," she smiled, remembering her sweet yet maybe terrible memory.
"Yeah," Yamato agreed, and almost laughed when he saw Hikari passed the ball to the Takeru but Daisuke tried to kick it and for no luck, his sneaker was the one which got kicked away.
"I agree," Taichi nodded. While Daisuke and Takeru was always arguing, it remembered him with Yamato in the past. They were too thick to get along with, but as the time flow, they could know and learn each other, even that there's still an argue between them. And the most important, Hikari acted as Sora to calm down both of them when the tense grew up.
Indeed, they did share the similarity with their senior.
Taichi glanced at his two friends, and they did the same. They shared a smile, so did him.
"Takeru, you're cheating!"
"Takeru isn't!"
They stood up, and left the happy trio.
On the street, Taichi wondered aloud.
"If me and Yamato were worrying about Hikari and Takeru at the past, what could possibly be of Daisuke and Takeru worried for now?"
Yamato glanced at his companion, and at Sora. She smiled before made an answer.
"Of course the way to keep them together when they still need to reach their future,"
