" Yuki?"

Questioned a deep male voice causing her to look up at the stranger.

' Are you....'

Yuki and the stranger looked at each other with stupefied expressions before Yuki slowly voiced out:

" To...shi?"

He has dark olive-brown hair with matching olive color orbs, perfectly tan adding a mystique charm to his apearance, staring intently at her.

Noticing his stare Yuki immediately became flustered as she noticed their position.

She lied flat on top of him with her hand on his chest, his left hand holding her waist as he stared at her intently.

Even if she wanted to break free from his hold, his grip on her was very strong.

" Toshi? You can let go of me now." Said Yuki as she nervously looked at him with a blush on her face.

Ushijima, kept looking at her as he slowly loosened his grip, reluctant to part from her.

The tip of his ear a bright red as he kept a neutral face.

Yuki stood up and offered her hand for him to take.

Ushijima took her hand and stood up patting down his clothes.

Yuki sat down, looking at Ushijima gently tapping the seat next to her.

Ushijima quietly sat down and turned to face her, though his face was devoid of any expressions his eyes looked at Yuki with longing.

It had been 8 years since they had separated.

Who knew they would have such a dramatic reunion inside a train.

Yuki composed herself and looked up to face Ushijima who was staring at her unrestrainedly.

" How have you been Wakatoshi? Still into volleyball? Or perhaps into something else now?"

" I have been well these past few years. Yes, I'm still into volleyball, I have minimal interest in other things." Replied Ushijima.

" You have not changed one bit, It's very nice to see you again Wakatoshi."

Yuki chuckled looking at the straightforward Ushijima.

" Yuki."

" Hmm.."

" ...Call me Toshi, like how you used to." Said Ushijima looking straight into her unique eyes.

Yuki stared back at Ushijima, " If you want me too, Toshi!"

Her lips curved up giving him a sweet smile.

The awkward atmosphere around them started turning into a sweet one as they slowly started to feel comfortable around each other.

As the train continued to head to Miyagi, Yuki and Ushijima started reminiscing about their childhood days, and started sharing about their lives and experiences.

As Yuki told Ushijima about the bet which allowed her to come back to Japan, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide with shock.

' A girl not even fourteen winning internationals against global ranked players!'

Ushijima after hearing about her life couldn't help but feel a fire slowly burning inside him.

Silently making a vow to work ten times harder as he reached home and catch up to her.

Unaware, Yuki continued sharing about Russia, how they trained and about the different types of players and characters which she got to meet through volleyball.
