STEPBROTHER (HAIKYUU X KUROKO NO BASKETBALL SUMMER CAMP)
54

"Wakatoshi! You know the latest news about Ryo?" tanya Tendou who was half-stiff from running towards Ushijima.

It just so happens that Ushijima is not too busy at the moment because it is not allowed to be trained by the coach because of the injuries that Ushijima experienced, where instead the coach asked Ushijima to sit quietly while cleaning the Volleyball so that he has a busy and can return to his prime when facing Karasuno in next Sunday's friendly and summer competition or Interhigh's five months away.

"I'm not interested in following the news about him, tendou." Ushijima is still busy cleaning the Volleyball in the basket, this time the coach is really hard on him.

"Come, Wakatoshi-kun. You should listen to it this time, because you will definitely be dumbfounded like me." Tendou looked excited, he ignored the call of the coach who kept asking him to change training clothes immediately.

"The coach keeps calling you, you can be scolded later." Ushijima tried to remind Tendou, he was not interested in the gossip that Tendou would convey.

"Forget over the coach" he said, then turned to the coach." Wait a minute, Sensei! We're discussing the assignment." He shouted loudly with lies that made Ushijima just shake his head.

Then he approached and whispered a little to Ushijima, "Yesterday Ryo's parents came to the principal, he was very angry and decided to move his son. But that's not the interesting part" said Tendou.

"Then what? She doesn't want to deal with me anymore or she thinks I'm dying so she wants to run away?" asked Ushijima who did not care much and was busy cleaning the ball.

"Not that, Wakatoshi-kun. The problem is that he moved because of an accident he had a few days ago, said the basketball boy Ryo was attacked by someone on the knee and made himself unable to walk normally as before. He also had to wear a cane or wheelchair from now on, but was forced to confess to both parents and the school instead he chose to keep his mouth shut and scream hysterically. I think he was really traumatized," explained Tendou who suddenly made Ushijima remember something on the night of the incident.

"That's not you, is it? It wasn't you who hurt Ryo that bad," said Tendou who still trusted him very much Ushijima.

"No, you only learned this fact after you told me just now. But, I think I know who the real culprit is." Ushijima looked at no one, his mind asking him to run adrift in memory that night.

"Hey, Tendou! The coach will advise you if you don't change now" Sami's martial will approached Ushijima and Tendou.

"You serious? Yes, I'll change now. You also still owe me a story, Wakatoshi-kun. We continue after training!" his hurried scream ran through the changing room.

"You really spoiled him, Ushijima. Well, soon healed to be able to play again in the team." Sami patted Ushijima on the shoulder and returned to the field.

At that time, Ushijima felt very thirsty and decided to go to the Kitchen. The atmosphere of a large house felt gripping and lonely, but it was no reason for him to feel fear at all. Just after he finished flooding the esophagus with cold water from the refrigerator, he accidentally listened to the conversation of the security guard and Chef Tsubasa who were in the food storage room. Both of them were heard talking very seriously and the silence made their chatter heard clearly by Ushijima who was hiding behind the refrigerator.

"I didn't expect, sir. I never thought that the young master had again given birth to the demon within him. And this time it's very different from what it used to be, so it's just as I opened the gate a few days ago, I'm until pangling can't recognize young master Akashi," said the security guard.

"How many times have I told you, it's not the devil. It was just another personality created by the young master, you have nothing to fear." Chef Tsubasa tries to calm down a colleague who is much younger than him.

"But, I don't want young master Akashi to come back as evil as he once was. Me and some of the other servants were more pleased with the young master Akashi now, he instead looked much more humane and friendly like the late mistress."

"What did you see that made you pangling and think that the young master would be evil again?" ask Chef Tsubasa who makes Ushijima more interested and curious.

"Feet, Chef. Yesterday, both eyes of young master Akashi returned to function normally but the color was jet black on the eyeballs. Oh yeah, some of her hair was white like paint and her smile was creepy."

"If what you're saying is true, it's better to keep this a secret like we did before. Don't let Madam and Mr. Akashi know, especially Mr. Ushijima also shouldn't know. Understood?"

"Good, Chef. I understand," said Mr. Satpam while nodding.

" Okay, then we better get back to sleep. It's also late at night, go back to each other's rooms." Chef Tsubasa smiled to commemorate his colleague, just as the two had left the kitchen then Ushijima returned to the hallway to his room with a curious feeling of the fact he had just heard.

Just before the curiosity got even more stirred, he was again startled by the voice of Akashi talking in the room. Ushijima who could listen quietly to the sound chose to eavesdrop from the door that had been closed tightly.

Many times he could hear the screams and laughter from Akashi, but the chatter was as if he was making fun of Akashi. Until it did not last long the chatter turned into a different chat by continuing to curse the name Eijun, a name that sounded foreign in Ushijima's ear.

Until his eyes are stunned when he listens to Akashi telling him how great the Eijun inside him can hurt once in a while with ease, he feels Eijun's presence can be a powerful weapon in his view. Not to mention, Ushijima could hear that Akashi felt guilty towards Ushijima who had been living there for several days, but he still hesitated to apologize to Ushijima. And not long after, Akashi's voice forced him to let himself play Eijun to apologize to Ushijima and become a good brother to Ushijima. However, Akashi continues to refuse and insist that he is the leader of the body and will not let Eijun take over if it is not needed. Where in the end the chatter was stopped by silence that made Ushijima rush back to the room because he did not want to be caught.
