lg: kippei and shinji
May. 14th, 2006 06:11 amKippei loved being at Rikkai. He liked the school and the team and if he couldn't be at Fudomine, there was nowhere else he'd rather be. But sometimes, sometimes it was very inconvenient. It meant he couldn't walk to and from school, that it took over an hour to get home instead of a few minutes, and more often than not, it meant he didn't see the others; the ones he still thought of as 'his' team in a rather proprietary way.
He considered himself a part of the team at Rikkai, but that was Yukimura's team; Kippei called it his in the sense that he belonged to it, but not in the sense that it belonged to him. There was definitely a difference. He didn't particularly mind it, that the Rikkai team was not his; he was the vice-captain and that was good enough for him. It wouldn't have been the same, being the captain of another team, and Fudomine had been special. He didn't really want to replace them, even if it wouldn't have been replacing them at all, because nothing could.
Still, all of this meant that he was busy, and had little free time after club duties and homework, and it was several days before he saw Shinji again. He managed this by basically blowing off his homework for the night, telling himself he'd do it later as there was less of it than usual, and heading over to Shinji's house, where one of Shinji's little sisters let him in. She cheerfully volunteered the fact, upon questioning, that Shinji was moping in his room, and Kippei thanked her absentmindedly as he made his way to Shinji's room, frowning slightly. Shinji was sulking, what the hell. He debated briefly about knocking, and then decided not to and simply opened the door and went in.
