The New Tiny Giant and His Setter

Chapter 7

Yousuke's POV

"I'll make sure you say you had fun next time Kenma." Shouyo smiled. 

"Alright. I'll look forward to it." Kenma replied. I watched them grumbling. For some reason, I didn't like it when Shouyo was talking so happy with someone else other than me. Why is that? D-do I like him?! Nah... I don't know anymore. I glared at the Nekoma's setter and swiped Shouyo's hand and lead him to the bus, 

"We need to go Shouyo." I hastily said and didn't say anything else. 

"Yousuke? Are you okay?" He asked. I didn't reply. It was Interhigh TOMORROW. I had to train with Shouyo as much as I can with our so-called 'Freak' Quick. We sat in silence me and Shouyo for the whole bus ride. 

****Next day****

Day of the Prelims of Interhigh! I'm so excited! I looked around for Shouyo who was doing his usual. 

"I smell air salonpas!" He exclaimed. I smiled. 

"Alright! First day, first match! We can't afford to lose! Let's go, team!" Cap'n exclaimed.

"Yoshaa!" We yelled back and ran into the court. I heard the first match was with Cap'n's friend from middle school. Let's hope he won't go easy because of that. I want to win! 

****After the first match****

"Nice job guys! We made it through to the second round!" Cap'n smiled tossing us our drinks. 

"Yea!" We replied with a grin. 

"We won? Does that mean we get to play another match? Does that mean we get to play more matches?" Shouyo asked me. 

"I guess? Well, we can proceed if we win this one as well." I replied. 

"What's gotten into you Shouyo?"

"That was my first win! It felt awesome!" He replied. I couldn't relate because I used to do Soccer with Izumin. I've won before. But a few times. 

"That's great Shouyo," I replied patting his head. 

"But don't get your hopes up. We are battling against one of the prefectures top 4 next." Cap'n explained. I grit my teeth. I heard a whistle blow in a distance. 

"That's the signal. Let's go guys." Cap'n said. 

"OSU!" We all exclaim and we run back into the courts to face our next opponent. Datekougyo. So-called The Iron Wall. This is going to be one of the toughest opponents yet. We got into position and waited for the whistle to blow signalling the start of the match. 

*Whistle blow*

"Onegaishimasu!" We all yell and bowed our heads. The start of a serious match.
