Puppeteer

Chapter 6: Puppeteer

Shogo skipped his feet over to his left, placing his forearms under the spinning ball, killing the momentum and sending the ball over to David.

David positioned himself towards the front line of the net as the ball was high in the air, standing face forward looking deep into Aarons eyes.. Placing his hand behind his back signaling with 4 fingers..?

Richard's expression filled with confusion, how could he expect him to understand this? Looking to his left he saw Takeshi started moving his feet.. And so did the black haired giant.. "I'll just run up with them. And if it comes my way i'll smack it down with all my force"

Running up to the net all three of them pressed their feet into the ground at a base tempo, David would proceed to jump up in the air for the ball reaching out to it and flicking it at great speed towards richard

Richard would proceed to let out a gasp of air before pulling his arm back, he tensed his muscles preparing to release all his force into the ball.. But the ball wouldn't stop moving too fast, the ball would zip through the air in front of him as Aaron, Chisai, And Yuta jumped up into the air in front of Richard preparing to swat down his spike. Richard swung his arm with all his might trying to keep up with the speed of the set.. But his hand would miss as the ball went straight past him and the wall of 3.

But there at the far corner of the court directly on the line of the court a giant was flying in the air, Yuta landing on the ground first and being the closest to him landed and grit his teeth tried to put force into his legs and leap up in front of the giant.

The ball would proceed to stop right in front of him, like the air around it distorted.. The graceful ball stood there waiting to be spiked. The giants black eyes glared down towards the Vikimitsus team court..

"..Jackpot"

He swung his arm down with great force.. Slamming the ball past Yutas fingertips and onto the court, Urameshi tried leaping towards the ball but came up short.

"Your Dangerous Free.. Dangerous!"

Yelled out Shogo in excitement

Aarons focus didn't leave David after that set, his red gaze followed his making contact with his cold blue aura.. Aaron was intrigued and impressed more than anything,

"He used his own players to trick the other team.. Brilliant"

Aaron thought to himself.. Before looking away, and taking a breath in… and a simple breath..

Richard simply watched the two setters dispute, his expression in shock once more.. he would stand there in silence for a moment.. clenching his fist before letting go. And clicking his tounge.

Repositioning himself.. it was his time to serve, he would stand behind the line smacking his face.. with a cold stare on his face.. his golden blonde hair swaying with his sweat, throwing the ball up. And performing a normal serve over the net

Urameshi located the ball getting under it receiving it relative ease

Richard's expression was intense as he moved up towards the floor preparing himself to receive. the skin above his eyes where flexing as a cold sweat ran down his cheek.

David's cold glare looked deep into the soul of the spiker behind him.. "seems like I can use him" the setter thought

Aaron leaping up in the air after a good receive from his libero.. pushing the ball out towards Sho. Infront of Sho a massive black wall, the sinister look of someone who can't stop the dopamine rush stared deep into him as if he was nothing but another soul to sell.

Sho pulled back his arm and releasing all the tension swung towards it like hammer right into the towering giant Frees arm

"He Broke through! Richard!"

He yelled out in desperation behind him, the ball would ricottche off his arm.. it seemed like it was going to fly out, Richard went diving forwards to save it from landing on the floor in a last attempts to save his team the point.

"I got it he." He thought as he stuck his arms out.. "no wait.. To much.. Too much" Richard had underestimated his diving ability leaping to far ahead as the ball would fall down onto his head bouncing back up..

"Good enough Richard.."

Leaping to his side getting low to the ground David got close enough to the ground to make a close enough set towards Takeshi.. the ball flew right towards Takeshis hands with great precision, stopping right infront of him.. Takeshi couldn't help but let out a smile towards such a wonderful set.

"Your Crazy David"

But as he was about to hit it, standing infront of him was a great red eyed wall.. Aaron leaped up infront of him, his blood red eyes and charcoal black hair flickered he blocked out his vision..

".."

Aaron stayed silent with his eyes creepily wide open, he was reading Takeshis every movement.

"Fine" Takeshi thought as he reached the peak in his jump bringing his arm over his shoulder before saying.

"I'll just go This way"

Takeshi swung his arm directing the ball towards Aaron's left, Aaron saw this before it even happened.

He swung his hands towards his left side. "What?.. No.. Im so close.", his arms where to short. He was to short, even if he saw ahead of him he couldn't reach it..

"RAGGHH, BLOCK IT AARON"

Aaron was suddenly pushed mid air towards the spot where takeshi was aiming.. the ball deflected off his face and flew down towards the other teams court. But the ball curved out and off the court from how wild it was.

Yuta had jumped up yelling with all his might putting his hands up and physically pushing Aaron towards the ball..

Aaron fell to his back, sitting himself up after Yuta walked over and helped him up.. he felt the spot on his forehead where the ball hit, a visible mark was there.

"Oh sorry Aaron.. are you alright?"

Yuta asked Aaron

"Yeah.. this isn't anything"

Looking up to see David standing on the other side of the net staring down at him with a emotionless expression on his face.. Aaron's eyes ignited into a flame of determination, a smile of excitement consumed his face looking at his "Rival".
