Slugger

Chapter 14

(( First! I want to apologize for not updating for a while... Please don't hurt me! T^T I honestly completely forgot how much Seido wins by so I've been having to do research all the games over again. I would also like to say sorry if this chapter doesn't make much sense... But the good thing is, since I've been away, I've upgraded my writing skills, or at least in my opinion. Anyhow, please enjoy! ))

_|Alex's POV|_

I awoke in my bed, clearly in my dorm. My head ached tremendously as I sat up. My memory slowly come back as my face turns in worry. "Ah... Shun's really going to lecture me the next time we meet..."

|Flashback, No One's POV|

Alex had completely become unconscious suddenly while in the outfield. No one knew exactly why except for one. And that one you ask? You Shunshin. The ace of the opposing team. Alex's teammates carried 'him' off the field and tended to 'him,' all the while Shunshin looked up into the crowd to a certain red head that nodded in agreement. That redhead, you ask? Well, it was none other than Kagami Taiga! The famous basketball player who beat Akakshi Seijuro's team. If you knew Akashi personally, you would have said that was impossible! But no, it was completely true. Others may be asking, What does a famous basketball player have to do with baseball? Well, to answer your question, he was Alex's and Shunshin's childhood friend...

The game soon ended with Seido winning, 7-2. While Seido were celebrating and continuously tending to Alex, the two childhood friends meet up with each other. "Are you positive she was using it?" Shunshin ask, incredibly concerned. The famous basketball player only nodded, looking simply disappointed in himself. "I really shouldn't of taught her that, so to say, "power." I didn't think she was this stupid." Kagami simply sighed as rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache approaching. "She even knew not use The Zone in baseball games... You simply don't move enough in baseball games and it drains your energy faster." He explained. Shunshin nodded, knowing the consequences of using The Zone like that. In fact, he use to be able to use it himself until he mistakenly made a grave decision.

"For now, I think we need to wait until she wakes up. Although it might take sometime." Shunshin comment and Kagami nodded in agreement. "Maybe I'll have coach come and lecture her for us..." He jokingly commented back. The two went their separate ways, but would soon meet their childhood friend again...

|Present, Alex's POV|

You could clearly see the sweat starting to form on my head. Having those two and Coach Riko lecture me was basically suicide. My first thought was where to hide. Literally. I drew out a map of the school quickly and circle all the positions where they're least likely to find me. And the spot I picked, you may ask. Well that's simple, the only place I truly know they won't find me. The Basement. Simple enough for me. Hard for them. Perfect, right? Well... That's not what fate had install for me.

I arrived in the basement only for three demons to be there, standing in the darkness, waiting for me. I tried running back up the stairs to a different spot, only for Yuki and Jun to block my path. The anime tears start to stream down my now pale face as I sit on the floor in defeat.

____________________________________________________________________

I sat in a child's' desk as Kagami, Riko, and Shun stand in front of it. First Riko started off my smacking me upside the head with a paper fan. "Now! Alex! Do you want me to put you through the training, like before?! I will even if I'm not your coach!" I sat there, pouting in my true chibi form(jkjk). "I agree with Coach Riko for once!" Kagami started off, but soon got hit with the fan also. "I clearly explained to you that you couldn't use The Zone in baseball games, did I not?" Kagami ask, with a red bump on his head. I nodded looking down. "Now, I understand you wanted to win against me to prove yourself useful so things wouldn't end up like that time, but you need to think about your health first Alex." Shun lectured me. My whole mood went down, and at the moment Shun knew he made a mistake. "I'm sorry, Alex! I didn't mean to mention it!" He pleaded. I calmly got up, still looking down, and walked out of the classroom...

|Same Time, No One's POV|

The third years who were close with Alex (Yuki, Jun, Chris Ect Ect), stayed low outside, just under the opened window. As the coach and redhaired childhood friend lecture Alex, they didn't pay much attention, but when it came to Shunshin. They were like hawks in a field looking for food.

"Now, I understand you wanted to win against me to prove yourself useful so things wouldn't end up like that time, but you need to think about your health first Alex." They clearly heard Shunshin lecture the poor kid. They even heard the slight change in thy kid's breathing, it sounded pained. They heard a chair sliding again the wood floor and heavy footsteps that seemed to have a huge impact on the air's aura. "I'm sorry, Alex! I didn't mean to mention it!" They heard the desperate plea from Shunshin and their heart sank as the heard what their younger teammate said. "Don't worry 'bout it... I'm fine!" The strain in Alex's voice made you cringe. The oh-all-too-happy Alex sounding defeated? The third year looked at each other, worry clearly in each of their eyes. They all had one question going through their head at that moment...

"Do we really know the true Alex...?"
