"Cut it out!" someone approaching from Inoo's back.
"Fujigaya-san?"
"Don't spread the false rumor. I have the real copy of their conversation so if you tell different, you will end up shame yourself as reporter"
The reporters startled and move back, leaving the 3.
"Thanks Fujigaya-san." Yamada smiling.
"Thanks." Inoo look away and start practicing.
"He's always like that, ne~" Fujigaya sighed and walk away, leaving Yamada to practise.
-----------
After practising, Inoo straight to his change room. He's sweating a lot but still he feel like he's not making any progress to his next perform, which being held tomorrow.
When he open his door, someone already there. "Hika-kun, I told you not to enter my....ah!"
"Greetings, Inoo."
It's not Hika. It's Nakajima.
"What is it now?"
"I just came by to give you this."
Inoo reach his hand to take the paper Nakajima give to him. It's the list of tomorrow perform.
"So I perform after Yamada?"
"Yes. Have you been prepared enough?"
"Already I am."
"You have to do whatever it takes to get through him."
"I know it too and isn't this make easier for you to compare both of us?" Inoo said coldly.
"I'm saying if you still being reckless as usual, you can absent. I take my leave, jya Inoo." Said Nakajima as he walks away, the door closes again and Inoo gritting his teeth.
"Geez that old hag!!" Inoo throw his bag to the door.
"He is bold like that as always." Yabu commented, Inoo takes anothe thing to throw.
"Not just bold but stingy. I start to wonder what he's up to."
"Maybe he want to strengthen you, Inoo." Yabu says. Well, he is a posive guy.
"But he didn't do it to another gymnast." Inoo tries to dined what Yabu said.
"Well....we find it out later." Yabu grining.
"Really?" Inoo says as he walks towards his bag. He takes a cucumber he brought from home. And...
Munch....
"Ack!!!!"
----------------
Inoo hardly can't sleep at night. "Why you strees much. It seems your ability is high but somewhat you can't use it." Yabu says, he sees the stressfull Inoo, lying helplessly on bed.
"It's because I can't imagine what I have to do in the arena. When I start to perform, I usually imagine what I have to do then make it happen. But now, I can't imagine anything." Inoo sighs. He really lost his imagination to what he's going to do at the arena.
"That's make you failed?"
"Un..."
"If you sleep, by tomorrow you find it different." Inoo nods and tries to sleep on his fluffy bed. Even he find it hard, Inoo finaly manage to sleep.
--
Now he's in his dressing room, waiting for his turn to perform.
"You don't want to go outside?" Asked Hika.
"No. Seeing Yamada performance making me nervous."
"Your performance coming in the next 10 minutes. Be prepared."
"Hai."
After Yamada finish his perform, Inoo out from his room, walk in the hallway to the arena. In his way he meet Yamada who walking back from arena.
Yamada didn't glance at him just walk like nothing happen, so do Inoo.
Inoo perform well but in some stage his hand shaking.
"Yabai. I will fall eventually."
"Just consentrate, Inoo."
"Shut it."
When he's doing hand stand in a bar, his left hand goes numb and his hand slip.
"Ouch!" Inoo fall to the ground, making audience gasping in shock.
"Inoo be carefull."
Inoo didn't respond but stand up and finishing his perform.
Back in his room, Inoo see the number from 1st to last winner of this day competition. He able to make it but still he's being in the last place, and it's not what he want, moreover seeing Yamada in the 2nd.
Inoo bow his head, his hand gripping his towel hard, he start to cry.
"Nee Inoo." Inoo taken aback. Remember someone with him. Ne never let anyone see his tears.
"You doing it well. Don't let anyone make you down. I will support you."
"Thanks..." He says. Then he strightly goes home, along the way to home, he feels so fail and down.
--
At home Inoo take a bath then go to sleep. "Don't you studying? I see you have english exam tomorrow.
"It's exam right? It will be fine. He-he-he"
"Wh...what with that laugh?"
But Inoo already fall asleep. Today is a rough day for him.
---------
Next day, Inoo goes to school careless about his test. Because he has Yabu. When the class start and the exams paper is distribute. He tries to answer the question until he finds the hard one.
"What's number 7?" Inoo asks to Yabu who is beside him.
"It's 'to be'"
"What's number 8?"
"It's.... Inoo! You can't do this. You have to answer it yourself."
"I can but I don't want to. I'm exhausted already from yesterday. So help me."
"No."
"Cafetaria have plenty of cucumber."
"Yabai.... Ok! Ok! I answer it."
"That's more like it."
Inoo aswer the exam smoothly. Even he's got hig score for it.
"Yokatta nee Inoo." Said Chinen. He know english is subject Inoo hard to handle.
"At least something come good today." Inoo sigh and going to school cafetaria.
"Here I give you some compliment to help me with exam."
Inoo order fried shrimp because Yabu like it. "Umeee" Yabu feel happy Inoo eat it.
"But don't do it next time." Yabu says seriously since he thinks it's not good to use him like that.
"Why? It's natural, you living in my body, you help me accomplishing what I do."
"It's like a pay rent?"
"Yep."
"It's expensive nee." Yabu sighed.
"You know. Tokyo is have highest fee among the other country."
Beeep!
"Message from Hika... A forward message?" Inoo read it thoroughly. It's an invitation to free competition. It's a competition but without scoring. The gymnast free to use any method they want to perform.
"What will happen tomorrow?" He mumble.
--
Inoo standing beside the arena. All eyes on him. Today is different, he didn't mind to imagine what he gonna do. He will do it freely.
"Whatever you do. Ganbatte!" Says Hikaru to encourage him.
"Un." Inoo nods.
Inoo step to the arena. Ready to facing what will happen.
Before he does his performance he closes his eyes, praying for a momnet and says :
"I will not make a single mistake!"
