♥The Shape of Love♥KnB♥Kaijou♥

♥07♥ No.8, Center, Tsuyu Natsuhi

The boys and the girls were at each other's necks throughout the 2nd quarter. For the remaining five minutes of the 2nd quarter, both teams did not throw away the chance to strike.

The fact Kaijou was still in the lead did not throw away the girl's will to keep going at it. This fact made Kasamatsu respect Shiki; she kept motivating the others not to mind the gap between the points and continue to focus on the game. Today's practice match with Sky was unexpected but Kasamatsu, Kise, Moriyama, Hayakawa, and Kobori did not mind it one bit because the girls were worthy opponents.

Harumi threw the ball up in the air for Natsuhi to throw it all the way to Kaijou's post. This time, Hayakawa was ready to take the ball.

*Swish*

The ball went in, giving no chance of rebound.

60-49, the buzzer sounded the end of the 2nd quarter.

Kobori looked at Natshi with a surprised expression; he didn't think she was able to make a three pointer just by throwing from very far away.

"Who said I can only hit the post?" She answered his question herself. She walked back with her teammates, getting tackled by a rather excited Harumi.

"Natsuhi-senpai, you should do that more often!"

"I can't always get it through the basket..." Natsuhi explained to her.

Both teams returned to their bench, having a quick break before the 3rd quarter officially start.

Natsuhi searched through her bag to find that she does not have a 2nd bottle of drink inside. She frowned; how can she forget? She always have 2 drink bottles in her sports bag...

"Here." Kobori handed her a bottle of Pocari Sweat.

"Kobori-kun, thank you." She thought it was very nice of him to be very generous.

They were on the opposing side but that doesn't mean they can't be nice to one another.

"Does Aozora know you guys are here."

"No they don't." Natsuhi said to him, "We're not even supposed to be here..."

"Playing against guys is not something the girls' team should be doing, I guess..."

"A team, huh...?" At the mention of the girls' team, Natsuhi and the other girls looked a little down.

Kobori realized his words must have stung each of them by accident so he apologized on the spot. When he looked back at his team, his teammates were looking at him with suspicious eyes.

"Guys?!"

"Kobori, you look like a kind fellow but you can upset girls..." Moriyama smirked.

"That's not true at all!" Kobori will not allow Moriyama to say nasty things about him.

Unknown to Moriyama, Akina was looking at him, wanting to talk to him too.

"Yoshi-"

"Alright! Let's go and win!" Kasamatsu suddenly stood up and shouted.

"In your dreams! We are the ones who are going to win!" Shiki fired back at him.

Akina sighed, it will have to wait...

The third quarter started with Kaijou's ball. Moriyama passed the ball to Hayakawa. Hayakawa dribbled for a while but he passed right away knowing Shiki will use her steals against him. The ball was passed to Kasamatsu.
