{Kidou decided when he woke up today that he had given Sakuma long enough to calm down over the events that had happened upon Genda arriving. He had a plan, a plan to get Sakuma to forgive Genda or at least talk to him again.

After getting changed, he notices Sakuma still asleep and walks over, crouching down so he can be face-to-face with him and gently shaking his shoulder]

Sakuma, wake up.

[No need to be nervous around your nii-san, Haruna!

Kidou smiles proudly at his sister's quick improvement and watches her dribble for a little while before speaking.]

Alright, you can stop now.

[notsoquiet]

[ Haruna does so. Actual practice is more tiring than she thought. But ... it's fun too. She thinks she can understand how the team could train so hard, from sunrise to sundown.

She breathes out. ]

How was that?

[pengeen]

That was much better.

[He takes the ball from her and sets his foot on it.]

Illusion Ball is an offensive dribble technique, designed to keep the ball in your possession. In order for you to use it, you should know the feeling of it being used against you, first.

[He kicks the ball up and catches it.]

I am going to dribble this ball from that side of the field- [He points behind him] -to the other side. Try to steal it from me.

[He then moves across the meadow and sets the ball on the ground.]

Ready?

[notsoquiet]

[ Haruna waves from the other side then gets ready to run on cue. ]

Ready!

[pengeen]

[And he starts making his way to her side of the field, dribbling the ball fast and steady and waiting for the right time to use his hissatsu.]

[notsoquiet]

[ Haruna runs towards the ball as fast as she can. It helps that she started from the opposite side.

All right, here comes the time to block! ]

[pengeen]

[He smirks a bit and he jumps with the ball and stops just in front of her.]

Illusion Ball!

[Can you tell which ball is real, Haruna?]

[notsoquiet]

Whoa!

[ Of course she can't tell which one it is! It feels like she's trapped in some kind of ... well, illusion and it makes her stop completely. ]

[pengeen]

[And he passes by her with the ball easily and stops, turning around to face her with a grin on his face.]

Now that you have a good grasp of what it's like, do you want to try it out? Or do you want me to show you one more time?

[notsoquiet]

[ She thought the technique was an impressive one. She always has. But experiencing it ... she knows it's impressive now.

And her answer? Obviously - ... ]

I want to try it out!

[pengeen]

[He nods and passes the ball to her.]

Let's see what you can do.

[notsoquiet]

Mmhm!

[ Haruna catches the ball with ease and readies to run. It was brief, but if she saw it right, it should go like this! She begins to run and when she has enough momentum, she initiates the technique.

It's definitely a weaker version of Kidou's but those flying balls are definitely Illusion Ball. ]

[pengeen]

Ah! You did it! [He hurries over to her with a big proud grin on his face.]

Try it again while the feeling of it is still fresh.

[notsoquiet]

Whoa I did?

[ She ... wasn't expecting that. But with new-found encouragement, she starts running again.

Again the technique is performed ... ! The balls seem to move more quickly. But man, she's pooped out! ]

[pengeen]

[He nods a few times] Alright, we can stop for now. You look pretty worn out, do you want me to get you a drink?

[notsoquiet]

Y-Yeah. I feel so worn out ...

[ She plops down on the grass and tries to calm her breathing. ]

Whoa! [ pant ] Is it always like this?

[pengeen]

Pretty much. [He smiles.] The more you practice, the more you get used to it, though. And the less tired you'll be after using hissatsu techniques.

[notsoquiet]

I guess I need to train a lot more then.

[ She laughs as she lays down the grass. There is even a faint breeze - although it's not natural. ]

[pengeen]

I'll go get you some water, alright? Stay here until I get back. [He waves a bit before going to the cafeteria to get a couple of glasses of water, returning with them after about 15 or so minutes.]

Here. [He sits next to her on the grass and hands a glass out to her.]

[notsoquiet]

[ She takes the water gratefully and gulp it down. ]

Phew, that really hit the spot. Thanks onii-chan.

[ She grins. ]

[pengeen]

[And he's going to hand the other glass to her as well.] It's no problem. You need to stay hydrated, after all.

[notsoquiet]

I would know that much from watching you all play.

[ And down goes another glass. After a breather ... ] So what now?

[pengeen]

[He thinks for a moment.] Well, Sakuma and Genda are probably still busy so it would be a good idea to wait before we go looking for them. [He places a hand to his chin and hums thoughtfully for a second] I don't have any other hissatsu I can really teach you; They're all combination after all. And most of them require three people.

[notsoquiet]

That's true ...

[ Well when you have nothing to do. Do nothing. She pats the spot next to her. ] Then why don't we take it easy for a little bit? I'm sure you can use some rest too.

[pengeen]

[He smiles a bit and sits next to her then.] Yeah, I could. [Though now that they were sitting side by side, Kidou couldn't think of anything to talk about. He... didn't really know that much about Haruna's interests, so he didn't know what would be a good topic for a conversation...

It was apparent that he did seem a bit awkward sitting there in silence next to her.]
