Chapter 59 : Wildcats

“Keiko?” Hoshiko looked around to find her first year but she wasn't to be seen. “Hey, where's Keiko?” She asked Fumi. The ravenette sighed heavily and looked really sad, “Keiko-chan was crying after we lost, so she told me that she needs some time alone.” After learning that, Hoshiko wanted to find her but later realized that Keiko needed space to calm herself down.

‘Poor kid...’

Sitting on the bench, tears kept flowing down from her porcelain face. Her brown eyes couldn't stop. ‘It was all my fault!’ She kept thinking over and over, Keiko couldn't stop crying and blaming herself for it. ‘We'd win if that #7 wouldn't distract me!’

As she wiped more tears from her cheeks, a little bit of rain started to pour in. It only made things worse. All Keiko did was crying her eyes out now, before someone stopped the rain for coming to her. She looked up and saw, “Kurihashi-chan, are you alright?” Inuoka.

“S-So-chan?” She choked on her tears and looked at him in the eye.

“Why are you in the rain alone crying? You're gonna get sick!” Inuoka grabbed her hand and put the umbrella in her hand, her cheeks grew pink as Inuoka tries his best to calm her down. “Where's Fujiwara-senpai??” He started searching for her captain all around.

Keiko kept her eye on him while not moving a muscle, he really tried his best to keep her safe.

“Oh gosh, I need to go to Kuroo-san too--agh!?” Inuoka whined and pulled his spiked brown hair in annoyance. When he wanted to look at Keiko, she had tears streaming down her face. “Woah--woah, don't cry!!” Keiko couldn't stop and started to sob again.

“Kurihashi-chan, it's okay! Look!” He tried to cheer her up now but she kept crying her eyes out. “Stop crying, please...” Inuoka did his puppy eyes to beg her. It didn't worked. With all things wasted, he doesn't know what to do anymore. His sisters usually laugh whenever he does that, why wouldn't it work with her?

Keiko stood up and wiped her snot, still looking at her soaked shoes. “So-chan, you're so kind!!!” She cried, making the boy blush.

Without any warning, Keiko ran up to him and pulled him into a hug. The umbrella was on the ground as she cried hysterically, the rain started to ease up. “Don't change, okay!?” His ears started to feel warm and red as Keiko hugged him tighter. Inuoka looked at the small girl hugging him and sparkles started to shine his dark brown eyes.

Feeling him petting her head, Keiko only smiled and giggled a little as her tears still flowed.

“Damn you, Inuoka...!” Taketora cursed his first year to be close with a girl like that.

“You don't have the guts to ask a girl out.” Himura suddenly commented and boinked his head for thinking too childishly.

Fukunaga pointed at Inuoka walking towards them, the second years fell and ran away.

Keiko waved at him with a smile on her face. “Don't forget to watch us play!” Inuoka shouted. “Gotcha!” She shouted back.

Sitting back down on the bench, Keiko smiled happily as she took the umbrella. Rubbing her thumb on the grip while giggling like she was in love. “My, what a nice boyfriend you have.” She jumped at the old man sitting beside her. He looked very old, probably just stopping by to sit down, he also doesn't look dangerous to hurt her so Keiko felt a little at ease, until she remembered what he was saying.

“B-boyfriend!?” She squeaked.

The old man smiled, showing a few teeth missing from his set. “Yes, boyfriend.”

“He looks like a kind young man, you don't get that a lot here...” He exclaimed with Keiko kept looking at him. “...hold him close, you might never know what's going to happen if you don't.”
