His Score (Mitsui Hisashi x OC)

Chapter 9: Visit

I was now even more confused, why did Mitsui beat up a member of the basketball team? Did he had a grudge to that student? "I'm sorry, Ayako-san." I felt bad asking about things that made Ayako recall some bad memories.

However, Ayako did not know why Mitsui did such a thing either and she did not know much about him but a delinquent student in the campus. "I don't know what ties you have with Mitsui, but he is a dangerous man now. Be careful, Rei-chan." Ayako looked at me in worry before leaving me alone at the rooftop.

I leaned my back against the railings and let out a long breath, I didn't know what to think but the fact Mitsui harmed a student to the point of hospitalization. I gently pressed my forehead with my palms and gripped the iron bar at the other, "Mitsui-san, what on earth is going inside your head?"

We spent our remaining days practicing and preparing for the practice match against Ryonan. Sakuragi improved fast and learned how to lay up but he still has a lot to catch up on. Everyone was fired up for the match and looked forward to play against Ryonan.

It was already the weekend before the practice match, I spent the last two hours with my little brother, Eita, at a basketball court in a park. It has always been our routine to come here and play ball, well at least I used to. Eita is a second year basketball player in his junior high and I always watch him practice in this court.

Sitting on a bench with a towel on my hand, I watched Eita shoot to the hoop but missed terribly.

"Ah! I missed again."

I stood up from my seat and approached my young brother and offered him the clean towel I had in my hand. He took it and wiped his sweaty face, "Thanks sis."

"By the way, when are you gonna teach me how to shoot three points?" Eita asked as he glared to my eyes. Irritated and annoyed by his question, I pinched his cheek and pulled it and he screamed in pain, "I've told you everything before! You never listen to me when I try to explain things!"

I stopped scolding when I realized he was now dazing to the sky, "Eita!!" He flinched and I let go of his cheek. He mumbled things as he rubbed his cheek and went to the ball's direction. I scoffed from his hard headedness. He was always like this, always daze off to something whenever I try to explain things.

"Catch!" I quickly caught the ball that was thrown to my direction. "Rei-san, how about we play today? It's been a while since I get to play with you." Eita lowered his head. I looked at him in pity but I have things to get to right now.

"Sorry Eita, maybe some other time. I need to go somewhere today." I passed him the ball and I walked back to the bench to get my sling bag. "Where are you going, sis?" Eita asked from behind.

I went to my black utility bike and sat on the saddle, "I'm going to a hospital. I might get home a little late so go home by yourself."

"Eh? What about mom?

"Just tell her I'm visiting someone at the hospital!" I took off with my bike and Eita watched me leave the premises. It took me some time to get through the city but I arrived at the hospital I was heading.

I head my way to the front desk, "Excuse me, miss. Can I ask which room is Mitsui Hisashi at?"

"Ah! Mitsui Hisashi, I'll call someone to lead you." The nurse gently smiled and nodded to her in agreement, she phoned someone and asked to come over. I had to wait for a few minutes but shortly after a nurse approached to my direction, "Are you Ms. Genji?"
