Homerun: Act I

Partner

Hisoka jogged in from the leftfield with a small smile holding the two balls she had hit over the fence since she had offered to jump the fence to go get them. Leftfield was Hisoka's corner of the field. The corner of the field where there was just a plate buried, that was Eijun's mound. Hisoka perked up as she heard yelling.

"Alright! Warm-up,10 minutes! Let's get started!"

Hisoka put her glove in her bag as she made it back to the dugout area. "Slay the monster, Eijun," she whispered. "I know you can do it."

Hisoka closed her eyes taking a deep breath before she opened them hearing Miyuki speaking to Azuma. "Your so-called lame-o adversaries there are junior high students you know," Miyuki said which made Hisoka roll her eyes. Her hands twitched anxiously. She wanted to play.

"Is it really okay, Takashima-sensei? Actually giving up the mound to a junior high student?"

"It'd be pretty bad if the Kouyaren found out about it..."

"Shut up," Hisoka snapped at the two players that were speaking to Takashima. Takashima looked at Hisoka with slight surprise as she saw the glint in Hisoka's eyes. "Say anything else and you will regret it."

"Sawamura is right, it'll be fine," Takashima said pushing up her glasses. "If you keep your mouths shut!"

Hisoka knelt down keeping her eyes glued to what was happening in front of her. Her hands continued to twitch. She had never felt so eager to play baseball before. Something about Seidou lit a fire in her.

"Listen to you stupid brat! How about you at least try putting on your game face?!" Hisoka rolled her eyes at Azuma's words. She had watched videos of Azuma before so she knew he was very vocal. "Or I'll change it for with you a homerun!!"

She focused on the look on Eijun's face and she couldn't help but smile. "Now he looks serious," Hisoka whispered to herself clasping her hands together to try to stop the twitching. "And they haven't even seen what Eijun is fully capable of doing."

Hisoka narrowed her eyes as she saw where Miyuki positioned his glove. Azuma's favorite spot, she thought as she recognized it from the videos. Eijun would notice, he wasn't as dumb as everyone thought.

Hisoka stood up as she watched Eijun pitch a ball into the ground. Keeping a smile from slipping onto her neutral face was hard since she had been right like always. Eijun and Miyuki would be amazing partners. Hisoka looked at her brother for a second before she turned heading towards the dorms. She wanted to see where they would be staying if they did decide to come here, even though Hisoka was pretty sure she wouldn't be.

Hisoka glanced around the dorm area. There were a lot of dorms, so she figured they were well prepared to have over one hundred players in the club. As she turned a corner, Hisoka ran into a boy with brown hair and a mischievous smile that reminded her of one of her old friends.

"So sorry," she muttered as she started to get up but a hand was put in front of her face.

"Sorry dude, didn't see you there? You new?"

Hisoka looked at the boy then noticed ahead of pink hair behind him. Her eyes went wide as she recognized the boy as Kominato Ryosuke, the boy she had read about in the sports magazine. Recognizing Kominato helped Hisoka figure out who the boy in front of her was.

"Kuramochi-senpai, right?"

The shock on his face clued her in that she was right. Hisoka smirked as he pulled her off the ground since he had knocked her over after all.

"Is it that easy to figure out? I mean, how did you know, I have never even seen you here before," Kuramochi said still shocked as he let go of Hisoka's hand, but not before noticing the strong grip that Hisoka had.
