The Baseball Girl

The Family

   Adi POV

   A couple weeks passed since I found Twinkie and it went over pretty well with the coaches.  By pretty well I mean I had to get on my hands and knees and beg to keep him.  Finally after using my super effective puppy dog eyes with Twinkie's puppy dog eyes we managed to let it slide.

   During that time I was told I made regulars and practiced with them everyday.  Ichigo started to help out the managers and we found out she was an amazing cook.  Twinkie and I ran everyday before bed and usually had to be told to go to bed by the coach doing his nightly rounds.

   Coach called us for a meeting one day with a 'special announcement'.  "Next week the first string players will have a scrimmage game against Kiryu.  We expect to have a win.  You may come and cheer for first string if you wish. That is all" Coach said before walking off.  I gave Miyuki and Kuramochi a sly grin that they returned.

   We quickly resumed practice and Yuki hit a ball right towards me.  I caught it easily and launched it back.  My ungloved hand reached down and scratched Twinkie's ear.

   During my distraction a certain brown haired boy was watching me.  The ball was hit towards me again and I didn't notice it until it nearly nailed Twinkie.  My glove moved on it's own accord and I quickly caught the ball.

   I glared at Taichi who was hitting balls out to us.  "Oi. You ever do that again I may have to beat the shit out of you with a spoon. Understood?" I growled at him.  He nodded as I threw the ball as hard as I could at Kuramochi who was smirking at me.  He caught it with a satisfying smack.

   "Ow, do you have to be so violent?" Kuramochi asked me with a sour face.  I stuck my tongue at him.  " No, but it's fun so I am." was my response.

   The rest of practice was like usual.  You know, death threats, teasing, shouting, all the usual.  We entered the mess hall and grabbed our food.  Our usual group spotted Ichigo (who has started eating and hanging out with the baseball players) and the first years sitting at a table.

   We moved to sit down and realized that we were one chair short.  Everyone looked at me.  "What?" I asked.

   "Since you're the smallest you're gonna have to share a seat." Ryo explained to me.  I made an 'o' with my mouth and moved to sit next to Ichigo.  A pair of arms wrapped around me and pulled me towards them.

   "You'll just have to sit with me." Miyuki's voice sounded next to my ear.  I gave Ichigo an apologetic look and she blushed at me. I shrugged my shoulders and began to eat my food, sitting on Miyuki's knee.

   The catcher began to bounce his knee resulting in bouncing me.  I gave him an annoyed glare. "Stop."

   "I'm not doing anyth-" he started but was silenced as I elbowed him stomach.  Chuckles resounded through the table. "Do not treat me like a child Kazuya." I growled.  He gave me a pout.

   "But you're so cute." He responded.  I sighed and took a bite of rice. "Does that make you my Onii-chan?" I asked.

   He sputtered and coughed.  I just smirked and continued to eat.  Ichigo looked up at us and then glanced at Yuki. "Does that make Tetsuya-senpai the papa?" She asked innocently.  I coughed on the mouthful of water I just took.  Miyuki pounded on my back laughing.

   I looked up at Yuki and nodded. Sawamura decided to jump in. "Oh! So Chris-senpai is the mama!" He shouted. Chris looked over at our table in confusion and I completely lost it.  As did everyone else.

   "Oh. My. Fluff. This is perfect." I said between laughs.  Chris walked over with Tanba in tow.  "What's going on?" He asked.

   Haruichi looked at him. "You're our mama and Tetsuya-senpai is our papa." He responded. I giggled and looked at Tanba.

   "You're our grandma!" I exclaimed.  He looked at me in horror as I continued to laugh my butt off.  Kuramochi looked at Tanba and shook his head.

   "No Tanba is another mama." He stated. I reconsidered and nodded my head.  "So Yuki is papa. Chris and Tanba are the mamas. So other third years are uncles.  Second and First years are the siblings." Ryo summed up.

   Sawamura shook his head. "No, Haruichi and Adi are too small.  They'll be the babies." He said.  I growled and chucked a spoonful of rice at him which hit him right in the face.

   He growled and looked about ready to pummel me.  I leaned back and curled into Miyuki. "Kazuya. He's trying to eat me." I whined in a childish voice and peeked out of his shirt to see everyone staring at me in silence.  I noticed they all had nosebleeds.

   My brow furrowed as I continued to look at them.  "Um, are you guys okay?" I asked.  My eyes met Ichigo's who was basically the only person not in shock in the whole entire room.  She shrugged her shoulder's and waved her hand in front of Yuki's face.

   "Did I kill them or something?" I asked waving my hand in front of Miyuki's face. "Possibly. I would have reacted the same if I hadn't known what I know." She responded.

   "Herroo~" I drawled out. "Anybody home?" I asked in a sing song voice.  I turned to Ichigo. "Should I slap him? Imma slap him." I said before slapping Miyuki like I did to Kuramochi that one time.

   "Five-star!" I shouted. Miyuki snapped out of it and started to glare at me but stopped when he saw my face.  I didn't quite realized how close I was.  My knees were on his thighs and I sat back on my legs. His face turned red as I turned back around, resuming by previous position to face Ichigo.

   "Do it to Yuki." I demanded. She squeaked out a no. I gave her a pointed glare. "Do it." I pressured her. She reached over and barely tap his cheek. "Harder." I commanded.

   "Do you have to be so violent?" Miyuki asked me.  I nodded my head violently and didn't stop until the boy placed his hand in my head forcing me to stop.  Ichigo still hadn't slapped Yuki.

   "Ichigo if you don't slap him he will stay like that forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and -" I was cut off by Miyuki's hand.  My curse words directed towards him were now muffled. My eyes widened as Ichigo reared back and slapped Yuki yelling "Five-star!" Like I do.

   Yuki snapped out of it with a shout of pain.  Ichigo blushed as we all gave her incredulous looks.  I began to giggle with Miyuki's hand still over my mouth.  I reached up and pulled it off as even more giggles bubbled out of my mouth.

   Miyuki began to laugh with me and rested his head against my back as I leaned against the table.  Yuki reached up to touch his face and he broke out in chuckles. "Nice job Ichigo. Didn't know you had it in you." Yuki laughed.  Ichigo's eyes widened as a deep blush covered her cheeks.

   My laughter stopped when a violent burp came from my mouth.  It was so loud it pulled everyone out of their stupor to stare a me once again.  I covered my mouth with my hand and my eyes widened.

   "E-excuse me." I said in a small voice.  Everybody broke into laughter causing my blush to deepen even more.  Miyuki put his forehead on my shoulder and laughed so hard he almost fell over. I crossed my arms and pouted.

   And that was how my day ended.
