My heart beats for you

Chapter 3

Ibuki's words were slowly affecting kirino . Shindou merely talk with him . Mostly he was with ibuki . This is making kirino weak but he always shrugged it off .  He was telling himself that Shindou would never abandon him .

Someone's Pove

Kirino senpai!

Hey Tenma . What happened

You tell me

What ?

I'm calling you for five minutes but you didn't answer.  Is everything fine

Yeah . I was just thinking about next match nothing more .

Oh soka .

I'll meet you later Tenma , tsurugi.

Okay

Kirino left them and went out of field . Tenma was satisfied with his answer but tsurugi was not

Tenma ! Don't you think his behaviour is strange

What do you mean tsurugi ?

I mean he is always lost in his thoughts and he is not acting like his usual

Tsurugi! You are thinking too much . He is a captain.  He must be worried.  Okay

Hm .

By the way , when did my kyousake become that soft . Tenma asked by pouting on him

Tsurugi blushed

Tenma!!!

Hihihih . Bye kyousake

Tsurugi just smiled on him but suddenly vanished. 

I don't think he is worried about team . There is something bothering him but what ? Tsurugi thought

         .............×..............

Kirino was standing at the bank of sea looking at waves thinking about Shindou.

Why shindou?  Why are you doing this?  Did my presence hurts you ?

Kirino! !!

Ichino ! What are you doing here?

Were you crying?

Why would I ? He said giving him a weak smile

Don't kirino.  I know what's the matter.  Why you are crying for that guy who didn't even care for you .

It's not like that . He cares for me . Kirino shouted

Yeah . I have seen him caring for you for a month . He didn't even talk to you. He is always with that ibuki . How could he ?

So what's the big deal ? I mean he can't be with me all the time . And beside ibuki is his friend too.

Yeah but not like you . Stop lying to yourself kirino and me too . You didn't want to accept that he didn't care for you now .

Stop it . Stop it  I said. 
Kirino shouted.  Tears start to fell from his eyes

Ichino hugged him .

I'm sorry kirino.  I don't want to hurt you but I can't see you like this

He cares for me . I know that . I'm important for him . I will not let someone destroy our relation .

Relax . Okay let's go back

Yeah

Little did they know that tsurugi was listening to their conversation. 

Tsurugi 's Pove

As I thought, there is something wrong.  So this is bothering him. 
But the main thing is , how could Shindou san do it ? I know what  kirino senpai is for him . He love him more than a friend but then why ?
And how ibuki is related to all this ?

I have to talk to Shindou senpai .

He went to meet Shindou but at the field , he saw matatagi and ibuki.  He was about to call them but stopped when he heard their conversation.
He hid behind a tree and listened everything.  His eyes went wide with shock .

Ibuki! He is the reason behind this . I don't believe it .
