Uh.... this is unedited.... I'm so....slee..py....

TAKE VI.

    "Inoue is such a bitch." Shiro said as we were eating on the rooftop together.

    "Why so?" I asked, even though the answer is obvious.

    She groaned. "She's known as the richest girl in school and she loves Akashi-kun so much, she'd do anything to get him."

    "Sounds so cliche."

    "She's mainstream. Some rumors even surface saying she's Akashi-kun's fiancee because of business stuffs. Akashi-kun is a respectful man, thus, I believe he'd choose his wife wisely!" Shiro bragged.

    I chuckled. "You really love him, don't you?"

    "He's a good friend. If you are in my place as the Vice, you'll understand me."

    I nodded once, munching my food silently, enjoying every bits of it.

    "You're seriously fighting Akashi-kun this evening?" Shiro spoke.

    I nodded. "Yup. I don't back down just because of threats."

    "Threats?"

    Oops. "Uh.... well—"

    "Inoue threatened to reveal whatever you have if you win, no?" Shiro guessed.

    I scratched the back of my neck, laughing nervously. "Yeah, something like that."

    She clenched her teeth. "Ugh! That girl! I should just kick her out from this school!" she said.

    "Well, don't worry because soccer will win!" I smiled. She punched my arm gently.

    "You will."

*  *  *  *

    "Ugh!" I kicked the ball straight towards the goal space.

    "Yeah!"

    Yuta came from behind and glomped at me till I was on the ground. "Heichou, you're awesome!" he yelled.

    "Relax! It's not even half the quarter yet!" I said.

    "Yeah not even half of the quarter but you scored two goals already!" Ren said.

    I smiled at them then we got up. We started playing again. This time, basketball team got the ball. Reo kicked the ball, passing it to Kotarou. Kotarou seemed flustered but he kicked the ball and it arrived at the opponent I'm guarding; Akashi.

    We stared at each other for a long time before he moved to the left, perfectly maintaining the ball on his legs. I turned to chase him but he was fast. He managed to run from me as I tried to steal his ball. I slipped and fell on my butt. Aki ran to him. Akashi wasn't giving up, he kicked the ball and it went into the goal space.

1-2

    "Yeah! Sei-chan rocks!" Reo cheered.

    I sighed and set an aim to get higher than him, to beat them

~TIMESKIP~

4-4

    I panted. HOW COME WE'RE IN THE SAME STATE!? I rested my palms on my knees, slightly bending down to catch my breath. I wiped my sweaty forehead.

    "INTERVALS 10 minutes!" the whistle blew.

    I sighed with relief and ran to the basketball court quite far from here, to the vending machine.

    "What are you doing here!?" I heard a voice screamed inside the court. I frowned. All the teams are on the soccer field. There are no girls in the club.... I ran inside the court and saw Shiro facing Inoue and her three bitches.

    "What are you doing here!?" Inoue queried.

    "I am here to check the court. It has always been my routine. So what are you doing here?" Shiro said.

    "Hey you girls." I called. They turned their heads to me. Shiro smiled.

    "I thought the match is on-going?" Shiro said.

    "It is. But right now, it's interval." I replied. "What's the problem here?" I questioned.

    Shiro sighed. "Nothing big. I'm just checking on the stuffs in the court. Can you please watch Inoue so she won't do anything stupid?" she disappeared into the storage room behind.

    "Why are you so—" Inoue ran to chase her.

    "Oi wait!" I chased after Inoue. She got into the storage room. But her legs slipped and she accidentally hit the shelves of who-knows-the-heck-is-that. It vibrated and the worse is, the thing on top was gonna fall on Shiro.

    "Shiro!" I yelled and embraced her, pushing her head down onto my chest. I ran but the huge thing above fell anyway.

    "Ow!" I winced as I felt something hard hit my head. It crashed onto the floor. Shiro pushed me away.

    "Kazuto!" she screamed. I used my elbow to support my weight as I fell backwards. Something warm.. liquid, ran down to my temple, cheek, chin and dropped on my clothes. "Oh my God, you're bleeding!" she yelled again.

    "Ugh, Shiro...." I croaked, the world spinning. "I'm right here, you don't have.... to shout."

    My hands gave out and I was lying on the floor, groaning in pain. My head was pounding furiously.

    "Inoue, get some help!" Shiro shouted. Footsteps was heard then it faded. I frowned.

    "Uh Shiro.... why am I seeing stars?" I asked.

    "Kazu-chan, hang in there!" she said and moved my head to her lap. I groaned. Every move was agonizing.

    "Where the heck is Inoue!?" Shiro panicked. My vision is blurring. Uh, light, wait, I need you....

    "Shiro, what's wrong?" a male voice could be heard. Uh.... isn't that.. Akashi..?

    Footsteps rushed in.

    "Kazu-chan!"

    Reo?

    "Heichou!"

    "Shiro, lift her head when I tell you to, okay?" Akashi spoke.

    "Un."

    "Alright, lift."

    My head was lifted. My eyes was closing and blurring but I could still see the figure of a redhead with a worried expression plastered on his face. "Reo, open the door. I'll bring her to the hospital." He said.

    Hospital? "N-no...." I rasped. "I-Infirmary.... is fine...." I said, struggling hard to keep my conscious awake.

    My body was lifted and the sweet scent of this very figure filled my nostrils. This is Akashi.... "D-don't move...." I said again. "My head....hurts...."

    "Hang on, Kazuto. You'll be safe." He said then it felt like my head was cut off from my neck and rolled on the floor.

*  *  *  *

"Akashi-kun!!!!" Inoue screamed from the far side of the soccer field. Akashi, who was sitting on the bleachers turned to look. Inoue's face was worried and it's rare to see it.

"Akashi-kun! You need to help Miyagi!" she said.

Akashi frowned and went to her. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"A-akihiko! Sh-She's in the court—s-she...." Inoue trailed off, not knowing what to say. Akashi was already running towards the basketball court followed by everyone who saw and heard what Inoue had said.

Akashi was worried he don't know why. It seems like something was ripped off from his body when Inoue said that. When he entered, it was empty but the door of the storage room were open so he guessed she might be in there. He went in,

"Shiro, whats' wrong?!" and was shocked to see things, stuffs, scattered on the floor. And what's worse is, Kazuto with a bloody head, on Shiro's lap. She was groaning, her hands trying to wipe off the blood from her face.

Reo came behind Akashi. He gasped when he saw it. "Kazu-chan!"

Whilst for the soccer team, Yuta was the only one who got to see it. "Heichou!" he yelled.

Akashi knelt beside Shiro. "Shiro, lift her head when I tell you to, okay?" he said.

"Un." Shiro nodded.

"Alright, lift."

Shiro lifted her head gently. Akashi slipped his hand behind Kazuto's neck and behind her knees. He stood, carrying her bridal-style. She was light. "Reo, open the door. I'll bring her to the hospital." He commanded. Everyone gave way as Reo kept the door wide open.

Akashi's heartbeat pattern were irregular since just now. Usually, he'd be calm but why's it acting like this now?

"Hang on, Kazuto. You'll be safe." He whispered. Then she fell unconscious.

*  *  *  *

    My eyes went open really slow as the light almost blinded me. Smells of medicine aren't very pleasant. I coughed as I tried to sit up. My bandaged head pounded and the world spun. I groaned inwardly and continued the struggle.

    "You shouldn't have done that, your head is still suffering from injuries."

    I turned my head and saw Akashi sitting on the chair, staring at me.

    I flinched. "W-w-what are you doing here!?"

    "This is my father's hospital. So it's okay for me to be here right?" he said.

    "Your father's....?"

    "Anyway, what happened?" he changed the topic.

    I shrugged. "I don't know. I was heading towards the vending machine when I heard Shiro and Inoue arguing. I went in, Shiro got into the storage room, Inoue hit the shelves. I protected Shiro and suddenly the world just spins."

    "Sorry for the mess." He apologized.

    I frowned. "You did nothing...."

    "The court is part of my responsibility as I am the captain and the student council president."

    "Oh...."

    He pushed my forehead down to the pillow. "Rest. You have another match with me after you're recovered." He said.

    My eyes widened. "ANOTHER MATCH!?" I yelled.

    He chuckled. "Shougi. Yuta suggested it. Don't blame me."

    I sighed in frustration. "Shit...."
