CHAPTER 7
The result of the last match have cause quite an impact toward Kidou and Juuzou relationship. The boy would came to visit her every day but none of them would utter a word. Even when with the presence of others members who came to visit her would only meet with silent. Both of them was ashamed of themselves for not being able to keep their promise. Genda and Sakuma sometimes will spoke with both of them in private, telling that it wasn't their fault but only meet with deafness.
Kidou have found his ways to get his revenge for his teammates especially Juuzou. She was the first person that he inform about him will be transfer to Raimon and play alongside them so that he could fight with Zeus. Juuzou didn't even dare to look into his eyes, feeling ashamed that she wouldn't be able to fight with him during the match. Kidou was inform by Genda about her actually feeling and the reasons why she so quiet, but it also wasn't surprise because he knew the moment she apologize to him before she receive the hit during the last match, she blame herself for their lost.
It took weeks for their relationship to turn back to normal or kind off. Juuzou have start talking and would teased him from time to time like always but there also time when Kidou found her in state of silent. She will stare at one place for hours without any reaction. The doctor state that she wasn't physically hurt but mentally. Doctor also suggest to take it slowly and don't let her think too much. The girl may not feel pain on this outside because there already so much for her to handle from the inside.
It was as if the match have triggered something inside of her. Something that been forgotten but came back to hunt her. Kidou understand what the doctor was pointing on as when he first pick her, she would always have nightmare where she will clench her teeth making him cringe at the sound. He first call Hakamada, informing him the girl condition. Even the man cringe at the sound but he couldn't do anything to help. He just told the boy that he should never wake her up in such situation but instead tried to sooth her during the nightmare by stroking her head and said something to calm her.
Days by days pass and she finally stop having nightmare and could sleep soundly until now. The nurse that work in night shift will hear her muttering something while crying. The girl even fold herself as small as possible, as if she was protecting herself from something or rather someone.
Today is the day that Juuzou finally be able to get out of the hospital or rather she argue with the doctor to let her. It almost cause the man to think twice for being a doctor in the first place but he finally allow her to be release but not without some rules.
"No playing in any match, get enough rest and remember to always come to his appointment." Order the man in strict tone only meeting with sulking girl who not the one who would listen to anyone orders but this is the only ways she could get out of the bed so she have to obey.
Genda was in the room watching as the girl happily humming while packing her stuff. He actually glad that the girl finally able to smile after long weeks of her being in silent.
"You didn't tell him that you've been release?" Ask the boy.
Juuzou glance at him. "Yeah, I want to surprise him. Can't wait to see his expression." She smirk.
The goalkeeper shake his head in amuse. "Can't imagine how worry he would be when he saw you off bed. He wouldn't even allow you to even go to toilet without someone being with you."
"He just worried too much." She dismiss coolly. She put her duffle bag strap on her shoulder noting that she have finish packing. "Are you will be okay without me here?" She tease the boy.
Genda chuckle. "Be much boring without you here but I think I could handle that." With that he walk her off until she arrive at the car that being sent by Kidou's father to pick her up. He wave back to the girl who waving her hands frantically.
"Tell the others my regards and not to miss me too much 'kay!" She shout as she get into the car.
The boy just chuckle. "Can't promise you that they wouldn't!" He shout back making the girl gave him a toothy smile. With that her car disappear leaving the boy who stare at where the car last park. "Please be safe." He mutter slowly.
When Juuzou arrive at Raimon Academy's field. She saw that the members seem to have finish their practice. She saw Kidou wearing Raimon's uniform but with his own style by adding cape but this time is blue not red like in Teikoku.
She watch as the daughter of the school's chairman was telling the members about something that make Kidou look in thought and the captain seem hype up.
Kageyama notice the girl and ask out loud. "Isn't that?" Everyone glance at him but then look at where he was staring at.
Kidou look in shock as he automatically on his scolding mode. "What are you doing out here? You should be resting!"
Juuzou giggle knowing that would be his first words. She skip down toward where the boy was standing. "Calm down will you? The doctor gave me permission to be release." She proudly state.
"Huh? How come I didn't know about this?"
"Actually everyone know accept for you." She state teasingly. "Just want to surprise you."
"But you-"
"Yuuto." She cut him off by holding side of his face and flash him a smile. "I'm okay. Stop worrying too much." When Kidou seem calm, she release the boy then look at the Raimon's members. "Yo, It's been so long." She greet them.
"Ayaka Juuzou right?" Endou ask excitedly.
Juuzou flash him toothy smile. "You got that's right?"
"I thought you was supposed to be in hospital?" Otonashi ask.
The pale girl glance at her which made her turn nervous thinking that she have said something wrong or being impolite. Suddenly Juuzou smile. "Haruna-chan right? Glad that we finally be able to meet. Yuuto here-" She point at the boy beside him. "Keep talking about you non-stop. Such a brother type he is." She tease.
"Oui." Kidou scold as his face turn red.
Otonashi laugh. "Really? Nii-chan also talk about you a lots."
Her words catch Juuzou attention. "Really?!" She glance at Kidou who face have turn redder almost beating his former red cape. "Didn't know that you miss me that much? Is it because you didn't someone to cuddle on bed?"
This time everyone face turn red and look at Kidou in shock while the boy seem like an antelope in the headlight.
"Oui Juuzou!"
"What?" The girl ask innocently. "Why are you so embarrass? We used to even shower together. What the different with cuddling?"
"You the one who came to my room!" He argue which cause others to look more surprise accept for Domon but Kidou didn't seem to notice it since with the Teikoku's members, they already know about all that so it wasn't a surprise for them.
"But you didn't tell me to leave." Juuzou remind him.
The members was left dumbfounded at the new side of Kidou.
"I never see Onii-chan so flustered." Otonashi state sweat dropping.
"Same for us." Kazemaru laugh awkwardly while others nod in agreement.
Kurimatsu look in thought. "But what's wrong with boys taking a bath together?" He ask to nobody.
"Yeah, we do it all the time at the public bath." Shourin add.
"It true that it wasn't wrong for if you're from the same gender." Domon start since he already knew about it. "The problem is that she's a girl."
It was silent for moments until everyone exclaim in surprise. "Eh?!!"
The girl just giggle at their reaction as even Gouenji bared the shock face.
"You must be joking." Ichinose exclaim in disbelief. It was the first time that he meet the girl but knowing her true gender was quite surprise since she doesn't look like a girl at all.
"Not really. Here I will prove it." Juuzou walk toward the boy who look confuse as how can she prove it.
Kidou took few seconds to realize the girl words but it was too late. "Juuzou don't!"
The girl calmly took Ichinose hand and put it on her lower region. "Here."
Ichinose brain seem to be malfunction as he didn't realize where his hand been put on and when he does he turn beef red and smoke seem to be coming out of his head.
"Oui Ichinose, you okay?" Domon ask seeing his childhood friend fainted.
"You need to stop doing that!" Kidou scold the pale girl.
Juuzou scratch her chin. "I just want to prove him that I'm a girl. What wrong with it?"
"Omai." The goggle boy sweat drop along with others members who heard her words while some tried to get Ichinose to wake up.
"This is new." Endou chuckle awkwardly with Kazemaru, Gouenji and Someoka nod in agreement, sweat dropping. "Yeah." They state in sync watching as Kidou keep scolding the girl.
"Guess we will be having another weirdo with us." Kurimatsu state from Kabeyama shoulder.
"Who the other weirdo?" Kageno ask which cause some members to shiver at his presence.
"Well.." Kurimatsu words trailed off.
