A Neko among Crows

Chapter 19

Chapter 19:

'One thing I just realized looking at these three was that I do not like choosing, things I would do to trade positions with anyone right now...

Maybe it's because I really have no stroke of romance in me that I realized I'm not suited for this things I would prefer loving a game than a person and I do not know if my feelings were really genuine for him.

A long time ago, not really, I thought I fell in love with that guy, turns out I just relied on him too much that I couldn't bear to part with him; that's until he called me pathetic for it and after our parents made us commit to each other. Too young, too foolish are what we are since I realized there is no such thing between the two of us so we parted ways and became strangers.

And now my choice could be either an opportunity or simply a way of distraction, I could go with my childhood friend to simply give him a chance; or I could go with my teammate who I only see as a brother; or maybe I could go to him who captured my heart to know the truth.'

Thoughts run in Keiko's mind; she still does not know what to do looking at the three guys play their game, it was foolish of her she realized seeing that it caused a big mess of things. She made her point to Yachi and Kiyoko that she will play again but the guys are pretty much hindering her from making her decisions, good points and bad points she keeps seeing in them.

"I decided, maybe he could help me" Keiko subconsciously whispering, as she searches his name in her phone contacts. Silently typing her thoughts, she hit send, and closes her mobile to go to Kiyoko.

"If they ask where am I, just say to them to search through their phones." Keiko pats Kiyoko's shoulder as she went out the gym doors, she's pretty sure Kiyoko knows who they are.

...

"Hello, Keiko?" he spoked confused on why she's calling him, they were over right?

"I need your help, Toshi" Keiko spoked softly as if though talking to him is hurting her.

Hearing her call his name like that made him alert, it has been so long since... "What for?" he said leaving no room for other things.

"I'm confused, too confused to be exact. It wouldn't be every day for me to act like an actual girl, you know that right?" Keiko almost panicked, saying and explaining those things and her current situation to Ushiwaka.

He lets out a soft chuckle, "I can't really imagine you to be all pink and sparkles here, Kei. I never thought there would be a day for you to actually talk to me after that... though if you're asking me to be your personal love guru, you do know that I have nothing to say right?" Ushiwaka said through the phone, what happened between him and her before is over, they were children back then and neither will like to repeat mistakes.

Keiko almost growled, "Baka, I'm not asking you to be my personal love guru, goodness know how insensitive you really are. Though any advice would be nice, please." There. She actually said please to him.

"Well, what would you like to do? I mean it wouldn't be every day you'll find a girl like you in between love and boys, though your appearance could also be the one at fault. We all know how beautiful you truly are" Ushiwaka almost breathe out, he can't believe himself helping the girl he once hurt in love problems.

"I don't know what do I want to do?! I mean I like them all, they're nice to me. My heart beats over this one guy just because of his looks, I think? There is this other guy, whom I feel like is a lost puppy over me, I mean he's a scaredy-cat over some things at the same time his tough. Then lastly there is this one gut, the boy next door, childhood friend guy. I guess I never really give him a chance, I mean out of the three, he is the only one I still hadn't taken out for a date yet. And there is also this situation of me wanting to go back to the court since I don't really know anymore, watching this school play makes me want to play, with them" Keiko couldn't help but ramble. Ushiwaka sighed at the other side.

"Tough life you got there, then simply throw them off, make a challenge for them and for you. Find who make you go all crazy, go back to the court and face them all head on. If you can't choose who, take the chance to learn them. Scrutinize them and judge them for you. If none of it works find another way, you do know there is about twenty-six letters in the alphabet right? If plan a blows go to plan b and so on. It's you we're talking about here, Keiko. You're not like normal human beings are, you're just you" Ushiwaka lectured, making Keiko realize.

With a smile she said, "Thanks Toshi, I'll be playing the next time we meet" and with that she hangs up, going to her room at the facility and started making her plans. She decided to play a game, and she will play it right this time after all she is a simple Neko and cats do like games.

Sending each boy, a message she waits...

"Let's do this the fun way, I'm over with being depressed over things."

A/N

I know, I know. This is a short chapter for such a long wait, a cliffhanger add that. And to add that it might've been a bit confusing... Anyway, I know you're all expecting who you want Keiko to end with and are somehow curious about her plans (none that I could say, my lips are sealed).

A reminder though, this whole story is revolving around Keiko and her only.

With that please pardon my grammatical errors and typos. Also it wouldn't hurt to VOTE. COMMENT. FOLLOW. SHARE.

A disclaimer notes from Ren, since we all know we miss his dorkiness...

Ren: Hey guys! Author-san here do not own anything from haikkyuu, except for us OC's and the plot of this story. Eh... Umm... I'll just go and stalk Keiko-nee-chan, so Bye!

Keiko: Ren do not stalk me

Ren: Ehh? Why not?

Author-san: Can the two of you have your bickering somewhere else?

Keiko and Ren: No!

Author-san: Fine, and here I thought Ren would make a good disclaimer note.

Ren: I heard that!

Author-san: anyway to all the readers out there, thank you for reading chapter 19!! Stay tune!
