Sayaka finally acknowledges that she has fallen in love with Hikari (again), but feels like she betrayed Takumi. Hikaru changes the subject by giving Sayaka his jacket because her clothes are still wet (which means she could catch a cold if she continues wearing them).
At the place where Seinan High's b-ball team is staying, Shinobu brings Chihiro home and mentions that she's all right; she's just tired. The manager of Shinobu's team leads him to Chihiro's room. One of Hikaru's friends expresses his relief that it's good that Chihiro returned safely, but is kind of confused why she was with a guy from Kaijou High (Shinobu). As Shinobu lays Chihiro down and watches over her, Chihiro wakes up to find him kissing her palm and feels SUPER awkward, so she pretends she's still sleeping. She wonders if she's dreaming because she doesn't know how she got into her room and why Shinobu's still with her, so she starts recounting what happened to them in the storm.
Basically, after Shinobu hugs Chihiro, she realizes he still cares about her when she sees that he's trembling. She can't understand why he still worries about her when she "betrayed" him in middle school. Shinobu starts pulling Chihiro back, but she refuses to return because Hikaru and Sayaka haven't been found yet. Shinobu knows that Chihiro mostly cares about whether Hikaru is safe, and starts grumbling, "Hikaru... Hikaru... Hikaru!" Chihiro tries to change her words because she's afraid she's made Shinobu angry again. Instead, Shinobu tells her he'll look for Hikaru himself while she stays at the hotel.
Chihiro becomes scared of what would happen to Shinobu if she left him, so she grabs his jacket and tells him that she doesn't want him to look for him because she's already lost Hikaru and Sayaka and doesn't want to lose him too, since he's important to her. After this outburst, Chihiro realizes that she's become tired, so Shinobu piggybacks her back to their resort on Izu. He tells Chihiro that Hikaru isn't the type of person to die easily, and she should believe in him.
When Haruka comes into Chihiro's room, Shinobu tells him to shut it because Chihiro is sleeping (SHE'S NOT). Haruka is annoyed at Shinobu's behavior, of course. Shinobu asks him if anything about Hikaru or Sayaka have come up, but Haruka replies that they're still missing, and search parties are going to look for them tomorrow.
Haruka thanks Shinobu for bringing Chihiro back and asks him if he has anything to do with Chihiro (or Hikaru... but I personally think it's Chihiro because Haruka has started questioning what kind of relationship Shinobu has with her). Since Shinobu is on the rival team, it's already some sort of "betrayal" if he helps and stays with the "enemy." Shinobu admits that he has no relation, yet confesses that he wants to try again. (Edit: the structuring is kind of ambiguous... I wasn't sure if he was talking about Chihiro or Hikaru. If he's talking about Chihiro, he wants to try again with her. If Hikaru, then he wants to try looking for Hikaru again.) He goes on to say that Chihiro is very selfless and cares more about other people than herself. Hearing that, Chihiro blushes.
So the next part with Hikaru and Sayaka is pretty boring and just Ikeyamada throwing fan servicey cuteness around. Basically Sayaka and Hikaru start building up these weird, exaggerated images about each other, which causes them to get nervous. Sayaka pictures Hikaru princely, while Hikaru finds Sayaka terribly cute and "moe." When Sayaka can't zip up the jacket Hikaru gives her, he helps with the zipper and um, gets a gander at her breasts.
