Come on Eijun, you can do it. But, I was wrong. He stuck out, I don't really understand. He's hit home runs before, so I don't see why he can't now. They did win though, which was a good thing.

I waited by their bus as they came out, they all stopped when they saw me.

"Who are you miss?" their Coach asked

I huffed, ignoring him. I put my hands on the arm rests of the wheelchair, after locking it. I stood up, it hurt but I was a bit annoyed with him.

"SAITO-SENPAI!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!!!" Kiku Maki shouted

"The Hell?!!" I shouted

I moved forward and punched Eijun clean across the face, shocking everyone.

"Ei-kun?!" a small boy with pink hair, and his eyes covered shouted

"Hey!" a man with a little goatee shouted

Eijun had his hand on his cheek, as he looked up at me with wide eyes.

"Y-You..." he stuttered

Before I, or anyone could say anything. Maki-san screamed, I flinched and turned to her.

"YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE STANDING!!!" she yelled

She rushed over, and made me sit back in my chair. Though, I would have done it myself anyways, my legs were starting to hurt. Eijun was helped up, and Maki bowed deeply.

"I'm so sorry for Saito-Senpai's actions. Please forgive her, she most likely wasn't thinking." she said

"Oh, I was thinking. This guy deserves more of a beating!" I huffed

"Saito-Senpai..." Maki whined

"It's okay, Yuina-san, can we talk about this later?" Eijun asked

"No. We're not talking about this later, because when you say later. You mean never." I glared

"Eh?! You know Saito-Senpai-Are you The Sawamura-Sama?!!" Maki yelled

"The Sawamura-Sama?" they all said confused

"You're much different than Saito-Senpai described you, I actually thought he was actually Sawamura-Sama," Maki said

She pointed to a tall boy with black hair,

"Mind me asking, who the hell are you? And why you punched Sawamura?" the guy with the small goatee glared

"Ah, it's okay Jun-Senpai," said Eijun

"She punched you! That's going to leave a bruise, and that's okay?" a guy with green-ish hair said

"I-" he started

"I'm Saito Yuina, and you need to knock it off with that! Get over it, I have, and if I have, so should you!" I huffed

He clenched his fists, he walked past me and onto the bus. I sighed,

"Sorry, he's going to be in a bad mood for awhile. He might snap at you...if he says it's all his fault, hit him for me. And then yell at him that it's not his fault that I'm in this chair," I sighed

I unlocked my wheelchair, I handed the woman a piece of paper.

"If you have any questions, or need help with him just give me a call." I smiled

I left them after that,

~Mini Time Skip, brought by Eijun's Yipps~

It's been two days since, and the woman who I gave my number had called. She told me Eijun was doing bad at practice and he seemed a bit depressed. I told her I would be there in a few.

I took the bus to his school, Rei-san was waiting at the gate. She pushed me to the field, they were all practicing. The coach was talking to Eijun, who stiffened once he saw me. I looked away from him and at the mound, where the Ace was standing. I asked Rei names, she pointed at everyone as she spoke their names.

"Miyuki-Kun! Kuramochi-Kun!" I waved them over

They ran up,

"Can you two do me a favor?" I asked

"Hai, you're going to help Sawamura?" said Kuramochi

"Hopefully, this works. I need you to get him in batting gear. And I need an mit, doesn't matter if it's left or right." I said

"How are you going to pitch in a Wheelchair?" Miyuki asked

"I'm not. And I am going to be standing. Trust me on this, he's going to be the best baseball player out there...well, one of the best." I said

They nodded and Rei said go ahead, Kuramochi got Sawamura in batting gear and Miyuki got me a mitt for lefties. Miyuki was going to catch for me.

"Why does he blame himself for putting you in a wheelchair?" Chris asked

He had walked over to me as Miyuki and Kuramochi ran off. Everyone was watching confused and curious.

"...I'll tell you after." I said

I sucked in a breath as I stood up, I went to the mound. There were people in the outfield, on my request to get the balls. They didn't understand why, because they all think he can't hit far.

"Yuina-san, please...sit back down, your legs will get worse!" Eijun said

I wound my arm up and through a fast straight ball, Miyuki moved back a bit, surprised.

"When you hit my pitch. And Snap out of it!" I said

I threw a curveball, he swung and missed. Five pitches were the same, I was getting frustrated.

"You didn't push me in front of the car!" I threw the ball,

"I hit the ball!" he swung and missed

"I ran off the field!" I grunted, throwing the ball hard

"After my ball!" he yelled, missing again

"So what?!" I huffed, another

"You can't ever play professional!" he missed,

"That's why you have to!" I threw a sinker

"Why aren't you mad at me?!! I was showing off!" he hit the ball

"You're an idiot!" I huffed

"And it was for the girl who you hate!" he yelled in frustration, grazing the ball

"I hated her because she was toying with your feelings!" I threw it hard,

"I know that! And still..." he said

He hit it, but it flew backwards, barely missing the Coach

"Just stop, and sit." said Sawamura

"You want to know baka, I'll tell you why I can't be mad at you, if you can hit my special pitch." I said

I didn't give him enough time, as I wound up and pitched it. A Fast Change-up (I know, not possible right??), but he hit it, hard. One of the people in the outfield did catch it though, everyone was shocked.

"A fast change-up..." said Miyuki

I sighed with relief, and fell to the ground. Eijun ran over to me first, Rei brought me the wheelchair, Yuki had lifted me back into my chair. And Ice was placed on my legs,

"Start hitting pitches, you can't hurt anyone by hitting a pitch...unless you send it flying to the pitcher's mound and they can't catch it." I said

"There are fences everywhere, no one can run out." said Tanba

"Who knew you could hit that far!" said Kuramochi

"...You still got hurt." he muttered

"Baka!" I yelled

I threw the mit at his head, he gave me an annoyed look.

"So what? It's baseball! Any sport, there's a risk where you can get physically hurt and never be able to play again. I still have my arms, I can still throw. I can still teach," I said

I watched the rest of practice, he was better.

"Gak! You still never told me why you can't be mad at me!!" he shouted

"It's because I love you, Baka!!" I yelled
