Green Flames (Prince of Tennis Fan Fiction)

The Monster from the Green Flames

Hello World!!! Ha ha, I just wanted to make another intro than the usual, but here's the 14th chapter and I hope you like it!

Shin looked at the ceiling with tired eyes, wondering why she was even there. She didn't belong in a hospital, and certainly not in the white piece of cloth, which was supposed to be clothes.

"Sigh, what a pain..." she sighed annoyed.

"What's a pain this time?"

She looked at the door and saw the whole team standing with smiles. Sakuno was there too.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"To come visit you, of course!" Eiji said happy. "Why else should we be here?"

"I don't know. Maybe to stare on the nurses?"

"We're really not like that, Shin-chan...." Fuji said.

"I was just making a joke" she smiled.

"Shin-chan?" Sakuno suddenly asked with a silent voice.

"What is it, Sakuno?"

She shot her eyes open when she heard Shin say her first name.

"You called me Sakuno..." she said surprised.

"Huh? Oh, I supposed I did. Sorry about that."

"N-No it's okay."

Shin looked a bit surprised at her, but smiled.

"You wanted to ask me something before, right?"

She nodded.

"Then speak out. You know I can't read minds, don't you?"

"O-Of course" she stuttered once again and suddenly she bowed deeply. "Thank you so much for helping me!!"

"That's really not a question..."

"She just thanked you; couldn't you just be a bit more grateful?" Echizen asked with a straight face.

"Who said I wasn't?" she asked giving him the same look.

"Those two..." Oishi said with a weird smile.

"Shin" Tezuka asked serious.

"Yeah?"

He looked directly into her eyes. He wanted to ask her something, but what he wanted to ask, was maybe not the best to ask in front of the whole team. In the end he just sighed lightly but long.

"Get well soon" he said.

"Even if you mean it good, it sounds like an order."

He gave her a cold stare making her hair rise.

"Sorry" she added fast.

Once again he sighed, but this time he turned around and left. Echizen laid a bag on the floor, with all her stuff in. The others from the team followed him, and wished her good luck on her operation. Before Kaidō had left the room, he heard a little melody from Shin. Out of nowhere, birds were flying over to the open window and sit on the sill. He looked over his shoulder, seeing Shin with a calm smile looking at the small birds chirping to the melody. Suddenly she looked back at him, which made him blush a light red color.

"Is there something you're missing, Kaidō-senpai?" she asked curios.

"N-No..."

She gave him a confused look, but continued to smile.

"Then you don't mind telling me how's it going with the animals, do you?"

He looked at her with big eyes, but looked away again.
