Ran-chan, Can You Hear Me?

Chapter 5 (RW)

***

"You want to practice now?"

"Are you sure? You look ashen."

"Oh come on! If the soccer mamas see their companion in this situation they are going to yell and all!"

Kuruma's loud voice was followed by nods from his teammates.

Really?

What the heck is wrong with them?

Kirink knows that they were.. are.. worried about him when they told them about what happened, but.. seriously? They are acting even more protective then the mamas in their club.

Even worse then himself.

He can do it. He's certain he can.

"I can do it,"he hums stubbornly. They eyed him in suspicion for a very long time. Why does he need to go through this?

So much for being a soccer mom that has self esteem problems. Ever since that bloody fight with the gang and the accident that happened to him everyone in and out the soccer club respects him. After some other things that happened they found out that Kirino has problems, serious problems, when it comes to taking care of himself. He doesn't mind though, at least it means his friends are trustworthy and loyal, but at times it can be severely annoying.

"I can do it," he repeats. The team sighs but they all know how stubborn he his.

Geez, they have to ride along.

Practice went smoothly.

Well kinda.

No.

It didn't.

It was a mess.

When they finished changing and went to the field, Kirino tripped causing panic. He also bumped on the goal post and got concussion. Where is the "I can do it" in that? To make things even worse, Kariya started to prank people, teammates or not. When they were working with their hissatsus they made big dents and holes on the ground, little mountains of dirt were everywhere. Why did practice turn out like this?

They don't know either.

"Kirino!" Shindou pants when he reached the boy, "come to my house if you're not busy."

"Ok. I don't have anything to do today," he hums. They ride the limousine and reach the mansion. When they got out Shindou guides the pinkette to his room. Of course Kirino memorizes the mansion, Shindou's just paranoid and thinks that his friend might get lost.

Kirino sits  on the comfy sofa while Shindou on the piano bench. Shindou smiled and presses a key. It was a beautiful piece. He closes his eyes and passionately press the keys like magic. Let's say, he is showing off because his crush is here listening to the piece that he made just for the pinkette.

Well, that's what he thinks.

Kirino on the other hand was confuse. He can see Shindou playing but can't hear it. Something is wrong.

Very wrong.

"Do you like it?" The brunette is still playing the piano. Kirino forces a smile and shakes his head, which is a dumb act since Shindou has his eyes close.

"Yes," he lied. He sighed deeply and thinks for a moment. What is happening to him? He can hear voices but can't hear sounds? Is that normal? Why is Brynhildr being clingy more then before? Why can he hear a child's voice calling for their brother? The fuck?
