Karasuno's Mangers: Little Ukai and The Runaway

18: He Was Her Romeo, But She Was Not His Juliet

Another day of practice was over. The first years, like always, were the first to change and sprint their separate ways home. Ennoshita shook his head as he grabbed his bag. "Tadashi make sure you lock up properly. For the rest of you, get some rest for tomorrow's big game."

As the third years left the club room, they greeted Mirae. She was shuffling from one foot onto the other, watching them leave. Once they were gone, she ran into the room.

"Ghwah!" Hinata yelled fumbling for his shirt. His face flushed red. "Mirae, we're trying to change."

"You can't be in here," Tadashi said.

She mumbled an apology but began to push him out. Caught off guard he lost his balance and tripped. She closed the door and locked it behind him.

"He didn't have to leave, it's not like he's going to tell anyone."

She ignored Tsukishima and turned to Kageyama instead. He backed up against the wall, cornered. "Did you bring it?" she demanded.

"No?"

She dragged her hands down her face and glared. "Liar!"

"I'm not lying. It's a stupid letter," he mumbled, trying to walk past her, "let's just forget about it."

"I can't just do that, Kageyama. Something interesting is finally happening. You don't understand how boring Miyagi is!"

"Says the city girl," Tsukki rolled his eyes. "Miyagi isn't boring, you just haven't been to the right places."

Unbeknown to them, Hinata was already rummaging through Kageyama's bag. He waved a pink envelope in the air, eyes sparkling. "Is it this?"

"Hinata put it back!"

From the other side of the door, Tadashi was knocking. "Mirae, open the door. Is that Kageyama and Hinata fighting? Don't make me bring the third years! Tsukki!"

Tsukishima was leaning against the wall. He pointed to the door and whispered, "You should probably take care of that. If he thinks these idiots are fighting, he'll bring in Ennoshita."

Mirae sighed, "Tsukishima, we both know you could care less about the letter but that is evidence I need to see. I have to procure the letter, Tadashi is your job."

He threw his head back and groaned. Mirae sent him the nastiest glare she could muster. He quickly walked over and unlocked the club door, walking out to Tadashi.

Mirae turned to the other two who were both tugging on the pink envelope. "Kageyama," she approached with hands raised, "we need to know what's in the letter."

"We don't need to know anything; you guys are being nosy."

Hinata nearly ripped it from his hands but Kageyama pulled back. "We're not nosy, you told us!"

"You three forced it out of me!"

Mirae poked his side causing him to squirm. "I need to know what it says."

He dodged her fingers, nearly taking the letter but Hinata was quick to yank it back."Please, I don't want to know what she wrote."

"If this is from Emiko, trust me, you're going to want to know what's in it."

"It is from her, which is why I want to forget it," he grumbled as he pulled again.

"You might be able to forget about it but I can't. Oh for crying out loud it's evidence!"

The club room door opened and Tsukishima walked back in. He paused seeing the tug of war that Mirae had joined in on. "I told Tadashi we were going to lock up, so he's not a concern anymore."
