Yusuke walked over to Hidē and bowed. "Thank you for playing against me!!" Yusuke shouted. Hidē smiled awkwardly scratching the back of his head. "It was no problem at all… But I have one question… Are you staying on the team..?"Hidē asked. Yusuke looked Hidē in the eyes. "Y-Yes, Captain!!" Yusuke shouted.
Hidē put his hand on Yusuke's shoulder. "Welcome to the Kakeru Basketball Club!" Hidē said. Yusuke nodded, "Thank you for allowing me to join!!" Yusuke shouted, bowing once more. Ryuzaki squinted at Yusuke, "Idiot…"Ryuzaki said.
"HEY!!?? WHAT'D YOU SAY!!??" Yusuke shouted. Hidē tapped Yusuke on the shoulder, and Yusuke began to sweat profusely. "I-I'm sorry…" Yusuke stuttered. Yusuke turned around slowly to see Hidē standing behind him.
Yusuke turned into a little chibi character and Hidē became a huge shadowy giant. "Talk to your teammates with respect!!" Hidē shouted. Chibi Yusuke ran away for Big Monster Hidē.
They returned to normal and Hidē sighed. "Line up!!" Hidē shouted. Multiple boys lined up as well as Hanako. "We have a new member of the team!" Hidē shouted. Hidē pointed at Yusuke.
Yusuke looked slightly embarrassed. Yusuke bowed, "N-NICE TO MEET YOU ALL!!" Yusuke shouted. The team looked at each other slightly confused.
"MY NAME IS Y-YUSUKE CHISAKA!!, I'M EXCITED TO BE A MEMBER OF THIS CLUB!!" Yusuke finished. The team all bowed, "Nice to meet you as well!" The team said in unison. A tall boy, a few inches shorter than Hidē stood next to him. "I'm the Vice Captain of the team, Takashi Matsuda," Takashi said. Takashi bowed, "Nice to meet you, Yusuke-San." Takashi finished.
A boy with maroon red hair stepped out of the line. "I'm Yoshinori Nakama, you can call me Nori," Nori said. As Nori stepped back in line a boy with a black mohawk stepped out, "Yo, Juro Kuse." Juro said, stepping back into the line.
Kazuma then stepped out of line, "I'm Kazuma Fujimoto!! My position is shooting guard and I've been the best player on this team!!!" Kazuma shouted as Juro punched him on top of the head. Kazuma rubbed the top of his head, "Screw you, Kusia…" Kazuma muttered. Juro hit him on top of the head once more, "I'm not a fish." Jure said.
A boy with fluffy yellow hair stepped out of the line, "I'm Nobuyuki Kuba, call me whatever… I only plan to win…" Nobuyuki said. Yusuke looked frightened, "Scary…" Yusuke whispered. Nobuyuki stepped back, and another boy stepped up.
He had orange fluffy hair, "My name is Tomio…" He yawned, before saying his last name. "Ohashi…" He said, stepping back. Yusuke yawned as well, "Disease…" Kazuma whispered. Yusuke looked over at Kazuma, surprised. "Disease you say!?" Yusuke whispered. Kazuma nodded, grinning. Hidē pulled their heads back, "Shut it." Hidē said.
A nearly bald boy stepped out of the line, "Hey, Hey, Hey!! I'm Keiji Omori!! My position is Safe-Gaurd and my lucky number is six!!" Keiji shouted. Kazuma and Yusuke's eyes shined, "So cool!!" The two whispered in unison. Ryuzaki stepped out from the line, glaring at Yusuke.
"Ryuzaki Kurosawa, I'm also safe-guard… Let's get to nationals…" Ryuzaki said. He stepped back into the line. Hidē looked down the line slightly confused, "Are we missing someone..?" Hidē asked, looking over at Hanako. Hanako scurried over, whispering into Hidē's ear.
Hidē nodded, "It seems our other first year couldn't make it… His name is Yuki Kaneshiro." Hidē said. Ryuzaki looked up at Hidē, "He won't be any use to us…" Ryuzaki said, walking over to the ball rack. He grabbed a ball dribbling toward the hoop. He jumps up, shooting a layup. Ryuzaki looked over at Hidē, "Junior high destroyed him…" Ryuzaki said.
One hour later, Yusuke arrived back at home. He walked into the house taking his shoes off, "I'm home!" Yusuke said. Yusuke's mom appeared standing around the corner with a smile on her face. "Yusu, there's a surprise!" His mom said. Yusuke looked confused, "What is it?" Yusuke asked. Yusuke walked into the kitchen seeing a man with dyed blonde hair sitting at the table, as the TV played.
Yusuke's eyes slightly narrowed. The man was sitting with a blonde-haired white woman. "Ah, Yusuke… Long time no see." The man said. Yusuke looked at the man before putting his bag down.
"Hi, Koushi…" Yusuke muttered, before sitting down. Koushi chuckled, "We haven't seen each other since I graduated high school, and that's the greeting you give your big brother?" Koushi asked. Yusuke shrugged, "Come around more often then…" Yusuke shrugged.
His mother walked over to the table with little bowls of rice, placing them in front of them all. "So… Why're you here..?" Yusuke asked, as he grabbed his chopsticks. Yusuke put his hands together, "Thank you for the great food." Everyone at the table said in unison.
Yusuke grabbed the bowl of rice, and began to eat. "The team and I have a game here on Friday so I thought I might stay here this week," Koushi said. Yusukue nodded, "Sounds like fun…" Yusuke said. Yusuke's mother placed plates of Teriyaki salmon in front of everyone. "Salmon!?" Koushi said in surprise. Their mother nodded, "Special occasion!" Yusuke's mother said.
Yusuke's mother sat down at the table, grabbing her chopsticks and holding her hands together. She muttered a few words before eating. "So, Yusuke… You join any clubs this year?" Koushi asked.
Yusuke looked slightly surprised, "Uhm… Not really…" Yusuke muttered. Their mother looked at Yusuke slightly confused, "Yusuke! Don't lie to your brother!" Their mother said.
Koushi looked at his mother slightly confused then back at Yusuke. Yusuke sighed, "I did a trial membership for…" Yusuke said before stopping.
Yusuke looked at his food. "For the basketball team…" Yusuke muttered. Koushi looked at Yusuke slightly surprised but then a smirk grew on his face. "I might have to come watch some day… See if my little brother lives up to me…" Koushi said. Their mother smiled, "That sounds like a great idea to me." She said. Yusuke nodded, putting on a fake smile. "Y-Yeah…" He said, beginning to eat his food again. Yusuke looked slightly nervous as his hand slowly shook. "Yeah…" He said.
