Battery Love

Prologue: The Meeting

I stood at the field with a frown upon my face. I had my helmets, gloves, head gear, face masks, leg guards, and chest protectors all on and it was about 98 degrees outside. Why did I join this them again? Oh right, I was the only decent catcher in the whole league so my coach forced me to join…. even though we lost every single game. Well it wasn’t my fault. Oh no. The problem was my team’s pitcher who couldn’t throw a damn strike and our outfielders couldn’t catch a pop fly! I was the only player who knew what he was doing.

“Uchiha Sasuke?” I looked over and noticed a tall man walk up to me with a clip board in hand. He gave me a weird smile. I nodded my head at him indicating that I was him, “Okay good, we thought you might have bailed on us.” The man laughed and I rolled my eyes.

‘I should have.’ I thought as he stopped laughing.

“Anyways, you’re the catcher, right?” Again I nodded me head. “Okay, the pitchers should be here any minute now…” He began to read the board, “uh… Uzumaki Naruto?” The name didn’t sound familiar.

“Here!!” I heard a loud voice cry and I looked over. A small size, famine looking, blonde haired boy walked over to us with a stupid smile planted on his face. ‘He’s out pitcher?! He looks like he can’t even throw the ball over the plate!!’ My mind yelled.

This Naruto kid, glanced over to me before looking at the man. “Hey coach, where’s Akito? Isn‘t he catching?” he asked in English. This guy’s American? I mean I knew what he was saying but I had no clue how to speak back.

“Akito went on a vacation… so he couldn’t make All-Star in time,” The man told in English and Naruto pouted. How was this guy going to be our pitcher? I mean, will he understand me? I think the whole point of the pitcher and the catcher is to communicate and understand one other.

“Really?! Aw man… who’s our catcher then?” I rolled my eyes.

“I’m the only person in this whole field who’s wearing the damn catcher gear. What do you think I’m doing here, dobe?” I smirked as I was finally able to get the blond idiot’s attention. I bet he had no clue what I just said.

“Dobe?! I’m not a dobe, teme!!” He shouted in Japanese. I looked at him confusingly, “Just because I look American and speak American doesn’t make me only American.”

I looked at him dumbly, “Wait your Japanese?” I asked.

“Half. My dad is American and my mom is Japanese. I was born here but grew up in America until I was 11.” He told me.

“I didn’t want to know your whole life, dobe.” Naruto began to glare at me before turning back to the coach. He shoved a finger towards my direction and growled at him.

“I don’t want to play if he’s going to be here!” He yelled at the coach.

“Good,” I smirked causing him to growl at me.

“Oh please Naruto, we need you!! Since your brother is too old to be on the team, you’re the next best thing!” The coach plead. He looked at me and I flinched back as he grabbed my hand, “You two what our team needs to win our games! Please get along!”

I stared at our coach with my eyes wide open. I looked over at Naruto who was giving me the same look back. I think we both communicated telepathically, cause we both signed at the same time before say, “Fine.”

Crouching over the plate, I held me mitt out. I looked upon the mound and saw Naruto talking a kind in the outfield.

“Oi! Dobe! Stop flirting and come pitch!!” I shouted and he flipped me off. I laughed to my self as the boy he was talking to walked away from him.

As he got on the mound, he forceful smile on, “I hate you.” He told sounding a bit sarcastic.

“Me too!” I told sarcastically too, “Now we have something in common.” We both forcefully smiled at each other before our coach started to cheer us on.

“Oh good! You getting along.” He said happily and we both stared at each other.

Naruto held his mitt out and I tossed him the ball. As he stood on the mound, I waited for him to the throw the ball but he kept in staring at me.

“Okay…throw the ball to me, dobe.” I told and him growled.

“I know what I’m doing, teme!” he shouted, “I want to know what you wanted me to throw!!”

I shook my head, “Something that goes down the middle.” Without answering, he began his stance. Again, I placed my mitt in front and watched as he started to throw the ball.

I saw the ball began to curve towards me, but it wasn‘t going towards the middle of my mitt. “Shit!” I cried as it almost took my head off.

“Fuck! What the hell?!” I yelled. The blond idiot only gave me a stupid smile as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

“Sorry! I broke my arm for half the baseball season so I haven’t pitched in months.” He laughed nervously.

“Yea. Sure.” I told getting up. I dust my pants off and glanced over at him before picking the ball up and tossing it to him. I squatted back down and motion him to throw another pitch. I watched as he set again and threw the ball towards me. This time the ball wasn’t even close to the batter box! It was a complete wild pitch. I watch as it hit the fence behind me and rolled to the back of my feet.

“You suck, why don’t you just give up.” I said to him loud enough so everyone in the field heard me. I noticed a few kids began to turn around.

“What did you say?!” Naruto yelled. It looked like he was about to explode or someone. I smirked at him.

“You heard me right. Quit. You suck,” I tossed him the ball and he easily caught it, “If you want us to win our game, we’d be better off without you.” I told beginning to walk away from the plate.

“No.”

I looked up. Naruto was staring at me with a serious look. “I’m not going to quit just because you think I suck!!” He shouted. There was an awkward silence before Naruto showed me the ball by holding it up, “One more pitch.” He told with no emotion in his face.

I signed, “Fine! At least, if I get injured I won’t join the team.” I walked over to the plate without looking at Naruto. I didn’t care if he was staring, glaring, whatever at me. I just wanted to get it over with.

Again, I squatted down by the plate and held my glove out. This time, Naruto had a different stance. His arms and back were stiff as he gripped the ball in his left hand. Wait. Wasn’t he picking right hand a minute ago?

I flinched when Naruto set and wind-up. He shifted his body weight to the back of his foot and forward towards the home plate. Before he released the ball, his wrist was turned inward corkscrew motion. Releasing the ball, I watched as the ball started to break to the right. He didn’t throw it right.

‘Ball,’ I thought as I started to reach out for the pitch but right as the ball got a feet away from me, it quickly breaks to the left. I shifted my glove to catch the ball and it hits dead center. A Screwball.

I looked up at Naruto who started to walk towards me. As he got close enough, he gave me a big grin.

“Looks like the catcher over thought my pitch.” He laughed a bit as he held a hand out to help me up. I grab it and he pulled me up.

“Weren’t you just pitching right handed?” I quickly asked remember he was using his left hand. Naruto took off his glove and showed it to me. It was both a left handed glove and a right.

“Yea, I’m Ambidextrous. My dad thought me. It’s so I can pitch right handed to right handed batters and left handed to left handed batters.” Naruto told me proudly, “So do you want me to pitch or what?” I heard him ask me.

I rolled my eyes and he just smiled at me. I automatically knew this was going to be a good year.

Don’t understand anything? Ask me! I’ll try to help :D

Also the whole story isn’t going to be about a baseball game. Stuff is going to happen and yea. :P
