Futago
The arrow of sorrow.

Yuki and Tora are warming up as a battery couple, after being sure enough that the girl and the other players ran up to Tora gathered around the young man.

"Manager, I'm not sure my throw won't be hit by monsters like them." Tora glanced at the core team's batting lineup that had already rotated to the start, the man shuddered in horror.

"That was the plan." Answer Yuki.

"Eh?."

"It doesn't matter how many times they hit, our team can practice defense instead." Said Yuki cheering.

"That's right, but if they turn things around?. It's not impossible that those batting monsters don't finish us off." Knock the other one.

"Actually, I won't let them snatch more than five points from us." Yuki looked at Tora.

"Look, we'll take out Hirogane kun, after that let Haruno kun enter the base scoring when Kawazune Ryou san hit. Next hitter to the captain's four, it is certain he will get a home run, two additional points for them. Wouldn't the path of the match look like it was siding with them?." The others nodded in unison and were immediately answered by Yuki's headband.

"No, that's the plan. Fifth-hitter Kudo kun, I want to take him out as he runs to third base. After that Nakashima kun, he's also a good hitter so don't let him throw the ball, force him to hit the ball low, isn't that your skill Tora san, and our keeper's skill." Yuki's words made the players even more excited.

"Let's show you the results of the B team's training all along." The others cheered excitedly answering Yuki's words.

"Almost forgot, base two guard. Prepare yourself, don't let your guard down." Yuki smiled as he clenched his hand forward and followed the other players.

Yuki secretly laughed inwardly, what were they doing like a teenager in general. Agh!, the girl forgot that she was a teenager.

Yuki turned to run to where he was, all the players positioning themselves.

"Playin!." Mizutani.

Sure enough Yuki didn't ask Tora for a hard throw, letting Hirogane just walk into first base. Haruno looked down politely for a moment, the young man's habit after entering the batting box.

Yuki's bead doesn't need to glance at first base to see Hirogane's movements because his eagle eyes work so well.

Yuki prepares with his horses asking for a quick straight throw out of the thin strike zone. Tora understands the goals of the manager as well as his catcher. As powerful as Tora gave a straight throw though not as fast as Nakashima but the throw was the fruit of his efforts so far.

Woooossshhhhw.

Taps. Taps. Taps.

Grep's!.

Sreth!.

Yuki catches it then quickly throws the ball right into the glove of the second base guard who is waiting for the ball from him. Tora was surprised by the bullet ball that floated above his head, one second late he dodged it was confirmed the ball landed on his face.

What was that earlier?, inner Hirogane who was stopped beside the second base.

"Out!." Said the base guard while smiling widely.

Hirogane turned his head quickly towards the ball thrower, his face showing great shock, but the girl smiled as she raised her index finger up. Shouts from team AB.

"One outo! (One out!)."

"One outo!."

"One outo!."

Hirogane still does not believe he can be defeated when stealing the base, his skills are broken by a manager, women?!.

"Strike!." Mizutani cried a little late.

Haruno had swung his bat, making the young man hit by a strike.

Yuki asks Tora to throw the ball into the strike zone. As expected Haruno can hit Tora's ball.

Ryou walks into the box and laughs at Yuki.

"Manager, is your arm okay?. It was like a bullet, not even my eyes could see it. How could the guard of the base catch your throw?." Ryou said with admiration.

"He's a player to be reckoned with." Reply Yuki.

Ryou prepares as well as Yuki.

"Even if I'm still upset that I can't hit your throw, I'm going to hit it right now." Ryou.

Yuki asks for a throw to the inner corner, cornering Ryou, but the core team players do indeed fit their head, the batting monster. Ryou easily hits Tora's throw after being cornered.

Now it was the captain's turn to walk calmly into the batting box.

"You and Kudo, if they're together, it's creepy, Yuki." Yuki smiled slightly.

"Thank you." Reply to the girl.

"Therefore, you shall no longer be put together." Yuki giggled amusedly at the words coming out of the man's mouth.

"Please, your home run sir." Yuki Ledek.

Although the girl said it as if Tora would give the ball easy in fact no, Yuki asked for the hardest throw that Tora had, he did not want to destroy the pride and pride of a pitcher who stood on the mound.

Tang's!.

First home run of the core team. Yuki ran to Tora reminding the man not to think too much about the throw earlier. Hajimelah is strange because he can hit the ball that hard.

The long-awaited ones finally came. Kudo is given four balls (throws out of the strike zone) deliberately by Yuki making the opposing team confused. Kudo ran casually to first base, it was like he got a free ticket from the two battery pairs. Next Nakashima prepares, the man is cornered by Yuki and Tora, he is forced to hit Tora's low ball. Until this point their plan went well. Kudo is at second base and Nakashima is at first base. The seventh hitter was on the spot.

Yuki played the seventh hitter a little bit as if he was planning something, but the first team is still the first team, the players are selected from a lot of talented players. The seventh hitter can hit the low ball Tora.

Tang's!.

Yuki smiled opening the mask (face cover) while standing up.

Double play!, yuki cried inwardly.

(Double play is to turn off 2 opposing players at once).

The infielder catches the ball that bounces to the ground then throws it to the third base keeper proceeding to second base.

"Three outs!. Game sets!." Mizutani.

The AB team players cheered happily, Yuki walked slowly towards the middle of the field where the players were swarming the pitcher.

"You guys are so cool. Your best throw is Tora san." Yuki said, there is no harm in occasionally praising them, adding to the confidence of the players who were not selected into the first team.

"Saaann manager!." As they stared at Yuki, the girl blinked her eyes stepping back. In such a face by the big and tall players makes Yuki a little bit of a risi.

"Tsukiatte!. (Be my girlfriend!.)."

"Tsukiatte!. (Be my girlfriend!.)."

"Boku to tsukiatte!. (Please be my girlfriend!.)."

"Suki desu!. (I like you!.)."

"Suki desu!. (I like you!.)."

"Daisuki desu!. (I like you a lot!.)."

"Kimi no koto suki desu!, manager san!. (I like everything about you!, manager!.)."

"Kekkon shite kudasaaiii !!. (Married to meuu !!.)."

The eight players bowed ninety degrees before Yuki. Being stabbed by such a love statement made Yuki's body freeze. While outside the field core players and players who do not play ketar-ketir fear one of their friends received by the goddess.

"I'm not a good woman, I'm also a stubborn person, I can't guarantee you guys can be happy with me. Sorry." Yuki replied calmly.

They straightened their bodies staring at the blue-faced girl deeply. Yuki smiled slightly.

"Try to get into the first team and play in the official game." Yuki continues to intend to reduce their disappointment.

"Yes, thank you manager!." Excite them in unison. Yuki gave a small nod and walked to the bench.

"Manager!, may we know why the manager rejected us all?." Excite one of the players.

"Does the manager already have people he likes?!."

Yuki turned to give a wry smile.

"What does that mean?." Knock one of them.

"Not knowing."

"I can't read his expression ..!." Frustrated scream Tora.

"I don't regret expressing my feelings."

"Me too, relieved. Yes .., although very disappointed."

"Let's come back, we win the first team and get the manager's praise."

"Tumben you're speaking the truth."

"Damn."

As promised Yuki met Honda near the baseball field. Honda wears a sports uniform just like Yuki asked for. Yuki gave the hairband to Honda asking the girl to tie her long hair.

"What do we do about Hachibara san?." Ask Honda.

"Run, with them." Yuki pointed at the baseball club's row of children behind him with thumbs.

"Eh?!." Honda moved restlessly in its place.

"I wonder if you really did all the lists I sent you, one of them sports. Come on." Yuki pulled Honda's hand without waiting for the girl's approval.

Yuki and Honda ran behind the line of players for a few laps then they rested for a while. Yuki invites Honda to go to a quiet class sitting the girl in a chair while Yuki stands behind the girl holding a pair of scissors.

Cres!.

Cres!.

Cres!.

Honda never protested anything Yuki said, the girl always complied and was grateful there were still people who cared about such a pathetic girl who had always been considered a school disgrace.

"Done." Yuki said walking forward observing the results of his work.

"I already know that Honda san has a very pretty face." Yuki nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you." Honda replies his face meets red.

"From now on don't hide your pretty face anymore. On Monday, go back to being yourself before you meet those demon friends, okay?." Honda laughed off hearing his friends who used to be referred to as demons.

"Thank you very much Hachibara san." Yuki smiled gently.

"Let's go home."

***

"Eh?!, Keiji and Hajime want to take Yuki to the fireworks festival?." Masamune let the brothers into the house.

"I've invited him but refused, try to talk to him Keiji." Masamune Pinta.

"Hi, where is Hachibara?." Ask Keiji.

"In the room, he'll be down soon. You guys sit down." The brothers sat on the sofa in front of the TV.

Dukes. Dukes. Dukes. Dukes.

The sound of footsteps coming down the stairs, Masamune closed his mouth staring at the astonished appearance of Yuki.

"Tomorrow I'm not going home Masa san, I'm also having dinner outside." Clearly Yuki confirmed the strap of his bag on the shoulder.

"Dating?." Yuki turned her head to the side towards Keiji with a seductive smile.

"Ung, want to come?." Yuki asked her finger playing on Keiji's cheek.

"Not going to." Reply to the boy, Yuki cupped the two cheeks of Keiji to raise the boy's head to look at him.

"Russia ... Look, who's sulking this ..." Keiji pouted, a soft sweet soothing scent seeped into his sense of smell.

The blue-sweet girl was always fragrant despite sweating even though the fragrance was stronger, according to Keiji. Moreover, the girl also dressed up, the more beautiful it looks like a top model.

"Do you want me to bring home a date?." Ledek Yuki is flirting with Keiji.

"no need. But maybe aniki (sister) wants to hear your explanation." Yuki raised an eyebrow glancing at Hajime beside Keiji.

"Senpai wants to hear my explanation?." Yuki asked his finger now swirling on Keiji's cheek.

"We're here to take you to a fireworks festival, but it looks like you're busy." Obviously Hajime calmly did not answer Yuki's question, the man remained calm but who knows what his heart feels.

"Sorry, I have an appointment with Mi Chan." Reject Yuki.

"Until you don't come home?." Yuki was surprised by Keiji who instantly grabbed him.

"Hmmm .., oh my God, it's so funny. Just come eat yuk." Take Yuki's hand even more guerrilla on Keiji's cheek.

"Akwu twidak iwngin mwengggwanggu kawlian." Yuki laughed amusedly at Keiji's messy sentence.

Grep.

Yuki's two hands cupped Keiji's cheeks locked the young man's gaze with his eyes, the memory with the orphanage children spinning on Yuki's head eliciting a longing in the girl's chest.

Cup.

Yuki briefly peeked at Keiji's forehead then looked back at the bead.

"I'll stay in the hospital for a check-up." Yuki said her hand went up to ruffle Keiji's short hair.

"I want a stepbrother." Yuki's chirps get a plot from Masamune and Keiji.

"Mahaha ..." Hajime's laughter broke, he covered one side of his face with his hands.

Ting. Kegs.

"I it must be Mizutani san." Masamune opened the door.

"I will not bless my mother with your father Hachibara san." Grunts Keiji.

"Heh?, why?."

"Never will." Keiji pressed down on every word.

"Then I'll find another woman. Maybe, Masa san?."

"What's wrong with Masamune san?." Yuki turned her head to look at Mizutani in her casual clothes.

"Asking father to marry Masa san, I want to have a stepbrother." Yuki said plainly without any burden. Mizutani shook her head slowly with the girl's strange idea.

"Why don't you just ask your mom to get pregnant again." Ketus Keiji's. Mizutani was shocked to look at the young sister of her protege.

"No way, they should get married first." Answer Yuki lightly.

"Eh?." Of course Dila's mother, Yuki continued in her heart.

They dine at a restaurant, talking about a memory piece that annoys Yuki.

After dinner, they went to the hospital. Yuki checks his body condition, Dazai injects a vitamin to Yuki because the girl's body looks less fit with the amount of activity and the girl's brain continues to work hard, lack of rest.

Yuki leaves Dazai and Mizutani in the office while he confines himself in the laboratory.

"What is Yuki creating again?." Ask Mizutani.

"I don't know, he's preventing me from coming in."

"Tubaki."

"Hm?."

"You really allowed Ojou chan to enter Ryuu's grandfather's workshop?." Dazai watched Mizutani's face.

"Yes, otherwise, maybe Yuki will catch up with the other shadow on duty." Mizutani.

"Aren't you suspicious of Ojou chan moving silently behind us?." Dazai's face was very serious.

"We just keep an eye on it first, don't forget the fact Ojou san is looking for and snatch waka (young master) from them."

"You're right."

***

Sunday, 10:00.

The black girl walked out of the lab towards a room.

Chequek.

"I thought you'd make it to the afternoon in there." Yuki opened the snelli (doctor's white suit) hanging it in the corner of the room.

"There are ingredients I want to buy, can you find them for me?." Tanya Yuki ate the fruit and bread that Dazai gave her.

"What do you want to buy?."

Yuki took a memo and a ballpoint penned a list of the ingredients he needed. His right hand is still faithfully putting food in his mouth.

"It." Yuki gave a memo to Dazai.

"Let me see." Dazai read that pretty long list.

"Everything?!." Dazai could not hide his surprise.

"Ung, let no one be left behind."

"But these ingredients are pretty hard to find."

"If you can't, let me go to Korea for two days." Dazai looked down, he thought.

"You are not allowed to leave Japan for a while. I will try to find it, when are these materials needed?." Yuki sipped some water in the glass.

"Today."

"Ojou chan, can't get it that fast." Yuki finished the bread and fruit.

"Let me know if you've got the ingredients, if you can soon." Yuki Pinta.

"Good."

"Do you want to go home?." Ask Dazai. Today is the man's schedule of holidays.

"No, please take me to Ryuu's grandfather's workshop, Dazai."

"Well, ojou chan."

The two men went towards the shadow-protective secret headquarters. Passing through some procedures that only shadows can pass. Enter Yuki in Ryuu's grandfather's workshop.

The deserted headquarters made Yuki move freely without worrying about the owner of the headquarters.

"You can rest here, I'll go in, and. Don't bother me." Yuki's speech commemorates Dazai.

"Ready, ojou chan." Reply Dazai lay down his body on a large sofa.

Yuki entered the workshop locking her up from inside. The girl immediately moved quickly, looking for the materials she needed.

Forgetting to eat forgetting to drink and forgetting time, that is what Yuki always experienced when it was struggling with his hobby. Dazai put on a very worried face when Yuki came out, taking a deep breath when he saw that his young lady was fine.

"I thought you were hurt by an experimental explosion or something." Dazai.

"What time is it?." Yuki stretched her body muscles.

"Eleven nights."

"Eh?!."

"Do you want to eat first or go straight home?."

"May you eat in the car?, the distance from here to the house is very far." Yuki asked permission.

"Ojou chan of course, come."

***

Yuki drowned herself in the bath, her manic wide open staring at the bathroom ceiling from the water. His mind, back to unravel one by one the results of the breakdown of gas poison that drained his brain mercilessly. Fortunately Yuki had lived in the hospital where Jun Ho worked so he could learn and ask a lot about poison and other diseases, the girl also developed her expertise in medicine.

How can Hotaru make such a poison?, how do you do it?, the formula is so out of your head, Yuki asked inwardly.

Even when he had already solved the secret of poison gas, it would not be easy to make an antidote. He also had to finish making the objects he needed before the beginning of winter. In addition to the existence of BD is still unknown, cctv-cctv was no progress. Should Yuki move further?. No. gabe.

He could not do it even though he wanted to. His position is very difficult to move freely, or he will drag the shadows, and worse still his existence will be revealed, Yuki realized the shadows always keep his identity, and the, making Yuki blend in with the ordinary people, Yuki did not want to ruin their plans. Daren and Lusi also cut off the connection with him, surely for some reason forcing them to do so. It is impossible for Daren, who calls Yuki every four hours, to suddenly decide not to contact her at all unless circumstances force her.

That overprotective father, inner Yuki.

What can I do right now, except be patient, Yuki continued inwardly.

Yuki raised her head scooping the air a lot and went back to drowning, closing her eyes.

Now his mind turned to the pieces of memory that went back into his head, composing, pairing, stitching them together.

There are still many empty parts that need to be filled to become a complete memory. This is the answer to the strangeness that Yuki had felt, he felt that there was a huge void inside him, like walking in an amusement park, alone, lost in endless empty memories. Often frustrating and stressful, the dense void made her chest tight, it was not easy to breathe, she was shackled by memories that forced her to recall those memories, the more pressing it did not matter if the girl was in pain and bleeding.

"Eva."

Yuki immediately opened her eyes, moving to sit up quickly.

"Je, you surprised me." Yuki brushed her hair back.

"Who do you like to be called?. Eva?, Yuki?." Yuki pushed Je with her fingertips.

"About it's been given two programs my name you're acting like this Je." Je flew back closer to Yuki's face.

"Eva?, Yuki?." Reload Je.

Well, if you're not a robot already I pinched your cheek Je, Yuki's mind is anxious. He came out of the bath.

"Yuki's. I'm Hachibara Yuki." Yuki stared at her reflection in the mirror.

Yes!, I am the Hachibara of my clan, Inner Yuki stared fixedly at the blue bead in the mirror.

***

Summer short sports uniform, red yellow green headband, and sports shoes. Yuki and all the students gathered in the field, the headmaster of the wolf high school is giving a speech opening a sports festival as well as a cultural festival.

Hot, Yuki lamented inwardly.

The race begins, the male and female student race is split. Yuki's class entered the final relay race, Yuki had four times rubbed his neck wiping the sweat that poured, Natsume looked closer and closer to leaving his opponent far behind.

Hap.

Yuki ran after receiving the baton from Natsume, the girl slightly frowned. He wondered if the throat of the people on the sidelines had not hurt since twenty minutes ago kept screaming.

Hot!, noisy!, infuriated Yuki his foot over the finish line.

"For you." Yuki received her favorite drink.

"Thank you." Yuki downed his drink until half was left.

"How did you look today?." Yuki asked as she walked towards her classmates.

"Many don't recognize me, but the kids in the class are praising your work." Obviously Honda. Yuki chuckled.

"No, it's because you're beautiful from there." Sanggah Yuki's.

"Did they bully you again after a change in appearance?." Yuki Imbuh.

"No, or not." They're close to Natsume cs.

"Don't get too far from Ueno san or Hazuki."

Two days have passed the inter-class race is still going on. Of all kinds of races, the race of kings and lords that became a hot topic throughout the school, which raises the hot topic is none other than Honda. The gloomy, pitiful girl suddenly turned into a new prima donna in school and in the eyes of the adam.

Tiny body, thick and long eyelashes, firm eyebrow lines, a small nose pointed, thin lips, making it difficult for the eyes to turn away from its charm.

Yuki's hot days pass, the afternoon Yuki teaches Honda and Yoshihara the vice-chairman of basketball, practicing pair dancing for the final race of kings and queens. The same afternoon, Yuki kidnaps Natsume from band club practice, taking the girl to the rooftop of the school where Honda and Yoshihara are waiting.

"Yu chan, this isn't fair. You have to help me too." Natsume complained, they opened the roof door.

"Hm, tomorrow." Yuki replied lightly, walking over to the two lovebirds who were standing far apart.

"Tomorrow morning." Natsume.

"Hi hi (Yes yes)."

"Hachibara san, Natsune san." Call Honda cheerful.

"You're so stiff, you're not booming, are you?." Ask Natsume.

"No." Honda shook his head strongly.

"Hazuki come here, we just start." Said Yuki who wanted to go home immediately and go to the hospital.

"Pick." Natsume approaches Yuki.

"Yoshihara san, first you hold Honda san's hand like this." Yuki practiced it, holding Natsume's hand politely like a noble.

"Then your other hand is slightly bent back."

Yoshihara tried to follow, Honda moved uneasily.

"Honda san." Yuki Tegur.

"Sorry." Said the girl immediately regaining control of herself.

"Keep walking slowly to the middle."

Yuki whispered something to Natsume telling the girl to walk as she wished. Both the king and queen followed what they saw.

"You have to adjust the pace of Honda san, don't wrinkle your forehead. Honda san, smile don't strain, do as usual. And lift your chin up a little." Said Yuki giving directions.

"Standing face to face, the king saluted him first." Yuki practices again at Yoshihara's.

"The queen," Yuki had not finished saying Natsume with a wide smile bowed like a royal princess.

"Hahaha, yeah like that Honda san." Yuki closed her mouth. Dance lessons continue until six in the afternoon.

The last day of the race and tomorrow is the end of the event. Yuki was watching the other participants shoot their bows. This is the first time Yuki has tried Kyudo (Kyudo is one of the lesser known martial arts in Japan. Practiced by students and teachers, kyudo has been developed by samurai warriors and zen monks for centuries, producing the art of beauty, skill, and focus. Kyudo is now practiced around the world and is considered a path to spiritual tranquility, truth, and beauty.).

He greatly enjoyed the sound of the whirring of the arrows that shot through the wind and the sound of arrows stuck in the target pads. There was someone who caught Yuki's attention, that person was very calm like an unmoving water, the sound of his arrows was very beautiful like the harmony of the sounds of the wild.

The turn of the line Yuki, the girl is polite like the others, Kyudo is a sport that is full of elements of Japanese tradition.

Swiiiink ... Didn't!.

Swiiiink ... Didn't!.

I just found out there's a place like this at school. Agh, if I had known earlier, maybe I would have entered the Kyudo club, Inner Yuki.

"Hachibara Yuki, grade 2-1." The race called him.

Yuki leaned over before standing in position of his body, lifting the bow up high pulling the arrow slowly, he imagined the person who had caught his attention. Tranquility, regular breathing, eyes focused on the target.

Shhuutt.

Swiiiink ...

Didn't!.

Yuki returned to his place, the girl was not satisfied with the results he had obtained.

Yuki qualified for the next round, again he was not satisfied with the result. The sound of the arrow belonging to the girl was not in accordance with the wishes of the owner.

"The first champion was won by Ishida Rey, in the 1-1 class. Second place champion Hachibara Yuki, class 2-1. Third place" The committee announces the champion of the race.

The blue bead walked annoyedly towards Hajime who was watching the Kyudo match since earlier.

"Why?." Ask the young man.

"Drink." Yuki replied in a piece, Hajime smiled faintly while giving Yuki a can of lemon-flavored drink.

"I'm sorry about champion two?." Hajime stared at Yuki's blue bead which moved looking at him.

"No, ak" Coach Kyudo approaches them with someone who catches the girl's attention.

"Sorry to interrupt for a moment, would you like to join our club Hachibara san?." Yuki wants to but Mizutani definitely forbids it.

"You are not satisfied with the results you get. A senpai?." Yuki glanced at the pale-white-skinned youth like himself.

"You think so?." Reply Yuki.

"You imitate my style, of course I know." Yuki pulled a little one of the corners of her lips.

"Waaah, I'm caught. Sorry, it's my first time, and your style of archery caught my eye." Yuki said honestly.

"First time?!." Coach Kyudo looked at Yuki in disbelief.

"You join him" The young man named Rey interrupted his coach.

"Your arrow sounds so sad, they're crying."

Hajime looked at Yuki, the girl did not raise one eyebrow, did Yuki justify the argument of the first grader?, Hajime thought.

"You're not satisfied with that." Yuki stared straight at Rey's bead.

"You have a sharp hearing apparently." Rey nodded small.

"Thank you for telling me. Sensei, sorry I can't join." Refuse Yuki to bow politely for a while then pull Hajime's arm away.
