Chereads / BROTHERHOOD: RISE / Chapter 43 - Just like Dad

Chapter 43 - Just like Dad

Kurai can't speak as he's in disbelief. Kaneko smiling as he points to the crowd. Kurai looking over at two kids in awe of the previous play. Kurai realizing something. 'Kaneko's right, i've been seeing it from the wrong perspective all along! Dad didn't mean for the plane to crash, it wasn't anyone's fault at all! I don't know why I was so Egotistical in my way of thinking!! Kaneko-' Kurai turns to look at Kaneko's well defined back with the #3 on it. 'So this is why you've still been playing Volleyball all along!'

"What in insane power spike by #3 Kaneko Vlast'!!"

Kaneko put's his hand down and thinking. 'Now I can finally show you Kurai.' Kaneko turns and smirks at Kurai. 'That I'm better than you-' Kaneko's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Come on you two, the game's still going-" Lucas' eyes widen in shock as Kurai genuinely smiles at Kaneko. The light reflecting off his calm blue eyes.

"Thank you" He pauses slightly. "Kaneko, for helping me out of my incorrect mindset" Kaneko smiles brightly.

"No prob, dude" Kurai's smile goes away.

"I'm not 'Dude,' I'm your brother" He looks away.

"Treat me like one" Kaneko smiles.

"Right!"

A whistle blows as Kurai tosses the ball. 'Now that that's off my chest, I can go all out!' Kurai slams the ball as it morphs in his hands. Hitting the court in an instant. Dougal and Ajax looking over in shock. Lucas smirking.

"They've actually done it, Kurai and Kaneko have entered a state of flow" An intense yet calm aura radiates from their eyes as they glare at Mason County. A buzzer going off. MCHS 0-4 LWTHS.

There was a tension in the arena as a girl wearing a dark blue jacket leans on the railing. The word's "LWT Girls Volleyball" on the back. Her long black hair put up in a bun as she smiles brightly.

"There's no way that's Kurai and Kaneko from Mrs. Burks class!" Her bright blue eyes shimmered in the arena lights.

"You like Kurai, don't you?" she turns and glares at her teammate blushing.

"Wha- NO!" Her teammate laughed.

"Fine then, you like Kaneko!" Her face turns bright red.

"O-of course not!" Her teammate laughs loudly.

"You're really bad at hiding it you know…"

Kurai looks at the net and at Mason County on the other side. 'I rarely ever tell you Kaneko, but you're the only reason I've come back to Volleyball. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here' Kurai keeps thinking as Lucas catches a ball for serve. 'How can I be someone like you, who never runs out of energy, and thus like Dad; Who was my Allstar?' Kurai turns to Lucas.

"Good serve!"

Lucas tosses the ball and jumping high. Sending the ball to the very edge of the court. A whistle blowing as the score changes. MCHS 2-4 LWTHS. Lucas shouting.

"TAKE THAT ERIC!!" Eric smirks confidently. Lucas stepping up to serve as a calmness radiates from his eyes. Jumping up and landing another serve as everyone hits the floor trying to receive it.

Kurai thinking to himself in his mind as suddenly someone shouts.

"KURAI!! KANEKO!!" Kurai and Kaneko instantly turn to look as their Mom stands on the railing with a smile. No bags under her eyes anymore. Kurai's eyes widen.

"DO YOUR BEST!!"
