♥18♥ We won't lose!

The game had to be postponed for a while because of Shiki's injury. She was being treated by Kumo who had just arrived from taking care of some business.

'I should have been there! As their coach, I shouldn't just leave them out there...' He was too carefree and it lead to Shiki getting hurt. He bandaged Shiki's injury and put the remaining bandages into the first aid box.

"How are you feeling?" He asked her.

"I am fine. I want to go back out there to play."

"Hime-"

"I will fuck them up."

"You can't fuck anyone with an injury like that!"

"Only I can go out there and deal with them! Sending out a spare member out there is suicide!"

"Hime..."

"It's fine." Shiki opened the door and she nearly walked into Kasamatsu. "What the- Kasamatsu?!"

"H-hey. H-how is your injury? Are you hurt?"

"I am fine."

"Don't force yourself, Hakanai."

"I am not forcing myself! I have to go out there and play the rest of the quarter!"

"You're-"

"I want to be out there!" Seeing that she wanted to be out there so badly, Kasamatsu couldn't say anything to her because she will not change her mind.

"I really think you should-" Before Kumo can say a thing, Kasamatsu interrupted him.

"Hakanai, if you go out there, I want to see your team winning."

"Wha-?! I am trying to get her to the hospital and you shitty brat decided to tell her to do the opposite?!"

"Kasamatsu..."

"You heard me. I don't agree with your decision but I will support you."

She was happy to hear that. Shiki smiled at his words and she held his hand, giving it an affectionate squeeze.

"Thank you."

"Ah. Go out there and win."

Despite the injury, Shiki made her way to the basketball court. When she returned, the audience cheered on for her return.

"Senpai!" Harumi was glad to see her return, "Are you okay?!"

"I am fine. Don't worry about me."

"Shiki, you had us worried there!" Fuyu was glad to see she was okay again, "We thought you'll be going to the hospital to get it treated or something..."

"I am not going anywhere. If I leave, I am taking the trophy with me." Shiki looked from Fuyu to Akina to see that she didn't dare to look her way. "Hey! Don't look away from me!" She slapped the back of Akina's head lightly, "We're relying on you, Akina. I need you to be at your best!"

"I-I'm sorry... It's because of me that you..."

"Akina, I am not that cruel to just stand there and let you take the hit. Besides, I know Wing Chun and I am used to being hit so that was nothing." Shiki then made her way to the tall foreign girl who hit her, looking up at her with predatory eyes, "Say your prayers, wretch. Filth like you have who play basketball like that is lower than an animal. I am going to hunt that will of yours..."

Kasamatsu returned to his seat and he was glad to see the game has resumed. He can see that Aozora now have a new resolve to win and this resolve was far greater than the previous one. He can guess it was because one of their members were hurt that motivated them to strive for the win.
