The Youtube Video on this chapter is one of my all time favorites!!! I have to watch this video at least six times in one day:)
//////
Hikaru sat in the dug out, Yuki stood at bat and Sanada pitch his so called amazing pitch….but like always Yuki hit it. His hit was a home run, like always. The crowd went wild…Seido was cheering however, the Sawamura siblings didn’t move or say anything. Eijun watched as Sanda handled himself after getting a home run by Yuki. Hikaru just watched the game with an unfazed face. Hikaru was pulled back into the outfield thanks to three outs. Hikaru walked behind Kawakami as he walked onto the field. Kawakami stood on the mound with the base ball in his hand.
“PUT SOME HEART INTO IT KAWAKAMI!”Jun shouted
“Let’s get aggressive!”Kuramochi yelled
Kawakami glanced back at Hikaru who still had an emotionless face on….Kawakami couldn’t shake the memoires of Eijun’s homerun ball, nor could he let himself be stopped by it…he wanted to wake Seido up…wake up the freshmen batter that was as scary as their captain…and to do that Kawakami had to shut down Raichi….Kawakami was pitching balls..And it was making Raichi mad! Another thing that was making Raichi mad was the look on Hikaru’s face. They walked Raichi which made everyone worried. Hikaru stood in the left field looking at Miyuki and Kawakami with a dead expression…it was then she noticed Raichi start to steal first. But Kawakami threw a mega curveball to Miyuki on the outside, who caught it and threw it to Kuramochi; however, it Raichi was safe…Hikaru saw it, and his heart started back slowly pounding. Hikaru noticed Raichi inching off of second…
‘another steal?’Hikaru wondered….softly somewhere in his head
Hikaru watched as Kawakami throw his next pitch. The batter for Yakushi hit and Ryosuke threw it to first, which let Raichi make it to third.
‘Why why do they only try to move Raichi…why?’Hikaru wondered
Hikaru watched as the next batter came out….he wondered what this batter for Yakushi would do. About that time Seido’s felids men heard a familiar loud voice:
“FOCUS ON THE BATTER!”
The team looked to see Eijun leaning on the fence.
“DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE RUNNER! ONE OUT AT A TIME!”Eijun shouted
For Hikaru that broke him more….Hikaru knew what he had to do, but he really didn’t want to do it anymore.
“FIVE MORE OUTS! LET’S GO!”Eijun shouted
Everyone was shocked with Eijun.
“KAWAKAMI-SENPAI IS GONNA LET SOME HITS THROUGH, SO FEILDERS, THAKN YOU BEFORE HAND!”Eijun shouted
Hikaru sighed,
‘I have to move just for this last inning….’Hikaru thought
Hikaru took a deep breath then shouted:
“NORI! I SWEAR I’M GETTING STIFF OVER HERE SEND ME SOME! QUIT SENDING IT TO THESES GRANDPAS ON THE FIELD!”
All of Seido’s defense gained the same aggravation they get with Eijun. However Kawakami smiled and for some reason felt calm,
'You two, Hikaru Eijun, you two are really something else.'Kawakami thought
The infield moved up why Hikaru turned his body at an angle. Jun looked at Hikaru with a confused expression.
‘Even if you hit infield…I’ll rip you to shreds.’ Hikaru thought
Mishima was hitting founds fouls after fouls…Hikaru saw Mishima moving for the ball, and made contact. Nori went to catch it, but he couldn’t and Kuramochi went for it.
‘No good.’Hikaru thought as Kuramochi slid for it.
Hikaru watched as Raichi ran home…giving a high five to the number nine batter. Seido was yelling at Kawakami again…..but Hikaru could feel it. So he took off. Yakushi’s batter hit Kawakami’s ball pitch and threw hit in the outfield. Everyone from Seido thought the worse, but they all froze when they saw Hikaru stretching for the ball, with Jun right behind him. Hikaru stretched his hand out ignoring the blistering pain and caught the ball. Then without a second glace threw it up to Jun who threw it to Yuki shouting:
“DON’T GET COKCY WITH US!”
However the runner for Yakushi was safe. Hikaru stood up and put his hat back on and walked back to his place on the field. Jun watched him go. Hikaru tried to predict this batter’s moves, but for some reason Hikaru’s mind was still clouded.
‘Why can’t I focus?’Hikaru wondered
Hikaru watched as Kawakami pitched his ball only to have the Yakushi batter hit it, and Yuki try to catch it but miss it… It was too late for Furuya once he got the ball to throw it anywhere. All of Yakushi’s batters were safe on their bases.
‘Runner on first and third….’Hikaru thought
It was then Hikaru’s mind started to tempt him to go into dark spot of giving up and Hikaru was really tempted to join them….with the score Yakushi Five to Seido Six, it felt nice to rest…However…Hikaru noticed Coach Kataoka making a change in players. Hikaru looked to see who was Yakushi’s batter only to see Sanada…then Hikaru looked to see who was coming out for Kawakami only to see Tanba.
‘An ace for an ace….maybe I can go off for a while.’ Hikaru thought
Hikaru felt his eyes close then reopen close and reopen. Hikaru then snapped awake as he heard Jun shouting at him.
“OI ARE YOU OKAY OR DO I HAVE TO KICK YOU OFF THE FIELD!?”Jun shouted
Hikaru looked at Jun and to tell you the truth the look Hikaru had scared Jun.
‘He looks like he’s about to collapse.’Jun thought
Everyone gathered on the mound to meet to see Tanba. However; once Tanba got there he looked to Hikaru and said:
“I need to know are you going to be able to finish this game.”
Everyone looked at Tanba confused, but Hikaru knew what he was talking about…the heat and muscles spasms told Hikaru no, but what came out of Hikaru’s mouth was:
“I wanna give them a six times no one hundred times of the dread the gave my brother, Furuya, and Nori….and right now if I left the field I would leave the field with regrets…and that’s not the type of baseball I play Tanba-Senapi.”Hikaru said
Everyone smirked once they heard this. Tanba sighed then replied:
“You better not slack then. If I see you slaking any I’m pulling you off the field..”
Hikaru smirked then nodded. Eijun looked at his sibling and noticed that the smirk he was wearing a was a forced one, and he could also hear what his sibling had said….
‘Hikaru, you’re pushing yourself to much. You really will break this time.’ Eijun thought ‘Are you doing this for me?? Hikaru stop…’
How are you guys liking Hikaru? What do you guys think is going to happen? Do you think she is stupid for staying in??? Do you agree with Eijun? Leave me some comments...
