A Neko among Crows

Chapter 18

Chapter 18:

After an hour of searching; Kenma, Asahi, and Lev finally found Keiko. She's currently huddled at the corner outside of a building, upon closer inspection they noticed that she cried.

"You bastard!" Asahi yelled clutching Kenma's shirt lifting him up. Lev simply looked at the two boys and scooped Keiko into his arms.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that. It could wake up sleeping beauty here." Lev said looking fondly at Keiko.

Asahi let go of Kenma, hearing Lev's warning. He looked at Keiko curious on what exactly brought tears on her pretty face. "Let me carry her" he said extending his arms.

Lev simply looked at him with amusement, "Nope!" he said holding Keiko closer.

"I didn't know what to say, she caught me by surprise" Kenma muttered softly looking down, it's quite obvious to the others that he's sad.

Seeing the situation Asahi couldn't help but smile a little, "this feels like déjà vu, I remember the time we had to look for Keiko in Karasuno before" he said

"Don't you think it's cliché to have several guys fight for one girl?" Lev couldn't help but voice out, making the others aware of it.

"Not as cliché as a love triangle though" Kenma said smiling. Soon the three of them were laughing.

"mhmm~" hearing a sound made them stop though and looked at the girl on Lev's arms.

"seems like we have to hurry" Asahi said, though he's curious on what would Keiko do...

"I just remembered something" Kenma blurted out going ahead. To be honest he just wanted to avoid the awkward situation that may or may not occur once Keiko sees him.

Asahi and Lev then went on to put Keiko to bed.

...

Seeing Kenma entered the gym Kuroo approached him, "what happened?" he asks.

"we found her, with tear-stained cheeks" Kenma whispered feeling guilty. Kuroo couldn't help but feel pity to his friend and pats Kenma's shoulder.

"it's okay, you were shocked. But man that girl sure is unpredictable." Kuroo said

"Yeah but she wouldn't be her if she's not" Kenma said with a small smile making Kuroo smirks at him.

"Go make up with her then" Kuroo said cheering for Kenma, who simply nodded thankful for his friend.

And with that Kenma started to think of a plan. A plan to win Keiko's heart back.

As for Keiko once she woke up she tried to remember everything that has happened and how did she got into her room. That's when she realized she blacked out so the guys might have founded her and brought her back. Remembering the incident earlier made her feel depressed since it was really something shameful and it brought back some of her memories when she was still in middle school memories of him, that she wanted to forget it's a good thing though that their parents' decisions was still in consideration and it ended as a joke. But bringing up those unpleasant memories again makes her want to prove him wrong, and prove him wrong she will. Feeling determined Keiko concludes to act as if though nothing happened between her and Kenma.

Meanwhile Asahi and Lev were left on their own pondering on what could they do to make Keiko turn their way and it seems like they could only arrive at the same answer; make her know them better, aka take her out on a date.

...

Keiko's POV

Everything has been weird ever since I stepped out of my room.

As I woke up and determined to reach my new goal; it seems like stepping out of the room would be make me spiral into something I couldn't put into words, except for weird. I didn't expect to see Asahi, Lev, and Kenma greeting me out. I couldn't even look at Kenma without feeling weird about it.

"I-"

"I-"

"I-"

The three of them started the same time

"Like you!"

"love you!"

"Have a crush on you"

They all continued. I was shocked to say at least, I thought that I would be rejected by the guy I like but he says he loves me; my childhood friend the same time confess about his feelings on me; and my teammate says he likes me; What the heck should I do?!

"Um... this better not be a joke. And-" I started saying but was interrupted by Asahi, "You don't have to answer now"

"Let's start anew Keiko-chan, k?" Kenma said a little red, and I couldn't help but nod.

"This time around I'll make you fall for me, luv" Lev said, confident.

Then next thing I know was me being squished by the three as we go out. And by the looks of everyone else's faces they were surprised especially Kuroo and Tsukishima.

"I think I'm going crazy" I heard Tsuki say, I couldn't help but agree with you buddy.

"Something must be wrong today" Kageyama commented then he continued to practice.

Sighing I face the boys, "you three, go and practice" I said to them but instead they just stared at me.

"I'll go on a date with the one who yields the best results after training" I added and with that they were gone.

"Kami-sama save me, I didn't ask for this" I silently begged then approached Yachi and Kiyoko who were grinning at me.

"Wow you snatched them up huh?" Yachi couldn't help but comment

"What happened?" Kiyoko asks simply looking at me.

"I don't know anymore, though I guess I have some news to you" I started telling them my plan after this training camp

"I see but won't it be a shame?" Kiyoko said, I shrugged "it might be but it could be for the best, I mean, I guess I still have some knots to tie right?"

"I guess it's good since that way you could finally let go of the past right?" Yachi says and I nodded

"still... You'll be missed" Kiyoko added in, "I know but it's not like I won't return" I answered with a smile and in response they smiled back at me.

"For the mean time let's see who will earn the most points for this match" I continued looking at the boys who says they'll compete for my heart.
