Thwack. Crash. Crunch.

Well that wasn’t a pleasant sound Imayoshi was glad he sent his team away take the bus home, he’d talked to the coaches and said he wanted to stay behind and coordinate a few practice matches, since they had the team meeting already there was no objections. Despite it being their last year in middle school fighting like this wasn’t where he expected to find the former captain of Teiko. A few minutes passed and the fox was waiting almost dutifully by the entrance at the side of the building. Once it was quiet he pushed himself off the wall and turned  into the alley walking over his normal smirk on his lips “Ara? Ya know most athletes try’n avoid fights like this so they don’t lose their reputation Nijimura.”

The power forward sighed and glanced at who it was, he knew of Imayoshi having played him a few times over the years before the first years took over. Nijimura wiped his hands off and shrugged “I have one kohai who stirs up trouble like crazy, he had to leave the team… So I don’t want to deal with the headache of this trash trying to pick on the team… So I took on garbage duty, pretty sure that our captain knows and just doesn’t care…” He smiled bitterly despite himself, honestly being a pawn was not something he got warm and fuzzy from thinking about.

Chuckling the captain shook his head “I can understand that, ya wanna make sure to keep the team from turnin’ on that kohai. Still don’t get hurt over this.” Pulling out a handkerchief the fox blotted the corner of Nijimura’s mouth dabbing away the blood there. The former captain batted his hand away, not trusting the other’s motives, there was no way this fox had waited for him just to talk about this and he walked over to scoop up his gym bag.

Sensing those thoughts the smirk grew a bit and he said “Let’s get something to eat from the food stall and chat a bit. I really hate seeing one of my favorite rivals in such a rut~ And ya can’t for a minute make me believe that it’s all from ya kohai. After all you’re the type ta put on airs for the team, but never let go unless something in the back was breakin’.”
