The training camp continued, and despite their best efforts, Shibayama and Kuguri couldn't entirely hide the evidence of their secret rendezvous. A particularly enthusiastic encounter had left Shibayama with an exposed "kitten bite" on his shoulder, and Kuguri had an unnoticeable "cat scratch" on his arm.

As the day progressed, word of the exposed marks reached the ears of Yaku and Kuroo from Nekoma, as well as Hiroo and Daisho from Nohebi. The four seniors decided it was time to get to the bottom of these mysterious marks, each taking on the role of a concerned older figure in their own way.

Shibayama found himself in a secluded corner of the gym with Yaku and Kuroo. Yaku regarded Shibayama with a serious expression, playing the role of the concerned older brother. "Shibayama, you've got a rather visible mark on your neck. Are you okay? Did something happen?"

Shibayama, feeling the heat rise in his cheeks, stuttered, "Oh, it's nothing, Yaku-san. Just a little accident during practice, that's all."

Kuroo, playing the part of the perceptive captain, leaned in with a sly grin, "Come on, Shibayama, you can tell us. We're here to help."

Shibayama's heart raced, but he couldn't bring himself to confess. He smiled nervously and said, "Really, it's nothing to worry about. Just a small scrape."

Meanwhile, on the Nohebi side, Kuguri was facing a different kind of interrogation. Daisho, the captain, regarded him with a stern and disappointed expression, while Hiroo, the vice-captain, wore a look of frustration.

Daisho, taking on the role of a fatherly figure, spoke in a disapproving tone, "Kuguri, we've noticed some marks on your arm. They look like scratches. What's going on?"

Kuguri, trying to remain composed, replied, "It's nothing, Captain. Just a minor incident during training."

Hiroo, adopting a less patient demeanor, added, "Kuguri, we're your team, and we're responsible for your well-being. You can't hide things like this."

Kuguri knew he had to be careful with his words. He responded, "I appreciate your concern, Vice-Captain. But honestly, it's nothing to worry about."

In both corners of the gym, the interrogation continued, but neither Yaku and Kuroo nor Daisho and Hiroo could extract the truth. Shibayama and Kuguri were determined to protect their secret, no matter the cost.

As the questioning persisted, the marks on their bodies served as a silent testament to their hidden love story, a story they were not ready to reveal to the world just yet.
