Hidden Plays

31: Some secrets must not be spilled

As soon as she came out she headed into the car where the windows were tinted and she changed again into a different outfit. Her driver then drove to where the semifinals were being held and dropped her off. She entered with only her wallet. She noticed the match was currently Doubles 1 Tezuka and Inui vs Zaizen and Chitose, but it was just Tezuka and Chitose on court.

"It's not exactly a Doubles match anymore."

She was quite bored by the game. It wasn't anything special. It was simply playing tennis using almost accurate assumption super powers.

As soon as she got too bored she headed to watch the Rikkaidai. Surprisingly Rikkaidai lost Singles 3 and Doubles 2.

"You're trying to chase the demon back out aren't you? When he worked so hard to seal it up you want to unleash it. Smart, but harmful, not just for Kirihara-san, but also his opponents. It's a big risk, and by the way you seem to coach them, it makes people who truly understand what you're doing think you have no morals.' Satomi thought. She watched as Kirihara's shirt was red with blood. His hair started turning white along with his skin.

"I'll paint your skin red!" He shouted regaining his posture, but with the demon eyes and everything. Satomi took a glance at Yukimura and saw him nod for a moment.

Kirihara scared his opponents before defeating them, badly.

When Doubles 1 easily won he realized what Doubles 2 and Singles 3 were doing. They were trying to summon his Demon/Devil thing by purposely losing. Sanada easily conquered Singles 1 moving Rikkaidai to the finals. Before Yukimura could catch her, she left for the stadium. She noticed Kintaro of Shitenhouji opposite to Echizen of Seigaku.

They were going back and forth with their most powerful shots. That was until Kintaro rose off the ground and a tornado appeared around him.

"This is more powerful than my 108th Hadokyuu!!" Gin yelled. Seigaku feared for their youngest.

As soon as all the dust cleared up, everyone stood waiting for the result. It was hard to say there was actually a proper result. The ball had been split into two, one on Echizen's and the other's on Kintaro's.

"Oh? This is unexpected." Satomi mumbled to herself, but it wasn't all that impressive.

She got bored really quickly and went straight to her mom's apartment, changing into her tennis attire (Tomi) before heading to her training facility.

"Controlling your opponent's moves? Sounds boring, I don't like it." Satomi mumbled to herself after practicing from a ball machine.

"That's the one thing I love about machines. They don't have petty emotions to corner them." With that said a smirk appeared on her face. She let off all her steam by practicing hitting with the machine. As soon as she was done she sat on the court staring at her own hand.

"Control other people's movements, hm, what if I incorporate my own style into that? Maybe controlling other people's movements by using their weakness and eat away at their mental state? Now that sounds interesting." Satomi said, a sinister smile made her way onto her face. She then let out a laugh, but it sounded more like a witch's laugh than a genuine laugh.

————————
A shiver went down everyone's spine.

"Buchou, did you feel that?" Kirihara asked nervously. Yukimura felt it, but pretended he didn't. Sanada looked around to make sure there wasn't anyone except for the team, and sure enough there was no one, which made the situation more haunting.

"I swear if this is another one of your pranks, Niou." Yagyu said, but Niou was standing with them.

"It wasn't me." He said. He too was looking around.

"I'm sure it was just a blast of cold air or something. Let's get back to practice." Yukimura said.

————————
Seigaku felt it too.

"Eh, did you feel that Oishi??" Kikumaru asked. Oishi looked around.

"Yeah, but I'm not sure what it was. It felt like evil lurking in the air." Oishi said.

"I'm sure it was just an echo, or a gust of wind." Fuji said with a smile.

"Burning! I say we find out what's the reason for it!!!" Kawamura said holding his racquet.

"Mada Mada Dane." Echizen said.

As soon as Satomi finished she had to walk back to her mother's apartment.

'Right now I have to focus on becoming stronger. If I control other people's movements using my own movements by not use my mind to control other's minds? I hate data tennis, so my first and foremost job, crushing data tennis players. Oh just the thought alone makes me so happy. Life is unpredictable, by using data you're only restricting yourself behind barriers." Satomi thought. As soon as she got home she plopped down. Her mom wouldn't be back until late at night due to shooting.

Satomi started to lay out possible ways to make her assassination style work with her new style.
