Future heir of the Aikawa family, prodigy child and top score in everything she does. However, despite her looks, she has a traumatic past.

She is Aikawa Narumi, a basketball prodigy, known as the "Princess of Basketball". She is the youngest basketball player who is twelve years old and she had play each match and never lost to anyone.

Narumi started playing the sport since she could hold a basketball. She wasn't interested in anything more. Furthermore, she had a very traumatic past and it was the only thing that she make her happy. Her parents didn't like it a lot but they couldn't make her quit, not in her situation. So they decided that all she had to do is continue to be the best in anything she does. After all, she was the future heir of Aikawa family and she has to had a good reputation

Sadly, her parents died in a car accident. Now, she is in the care of the Harasawa Family.

Harasawa Katsunori was a professional basketball player in the past and now is working as a coach of a basketball team. While Araki Hikari is beautiful lady who works in a school as a teacher. They are a couple who couldn´t have children, so they adopted Narumi and save her from the hands of her abusive aunt.

This couple was looking for someone who can adopt. At first they want to choose a baby but all change when they met Narumi. Katsunori couldn't be more happy when he met her. Not only he met someone who they could adopt but someone who he can share his love for basketball. His wife, was also happy because after a long time she meet someone who she can feel as her daughter, even when they are not related by blood. They also found a lot of Narumi's past and they couldn't believe that the emotionless young petite girl in front of them had that kind of past.

That day, they promise to themselves that they will protect her and maybe with the time, Narumi will start to see them as her family and gain her trust and love.

Months Ago

Tokyo, Japan

Harasawa Residence

~Ring ring ring~

A sound of the phone can be heard in the night. It was ringing a lot of time when a handsome man enter in the living room and answered the call.

"Hello? Harasawa speaking" said Harasawa Katsunori while he sit down in the sofa. "Ah, Shirogane-san. It's been a while. What happened?"

….

He start to play with locks of his blue hair while thinking what Shirogane was offering to him." Hmm, I'm sorry but I can't take that place. I already have a work in Touou Gakuen.." He look upstairs where he could see the door of her daughter and he smiled when an idea came up " But I can recommend you someone who could help. Actually.. she is looking for a middle school"

…..

He smirked "Well, Have you ever heard about the Princess of Basketball?..."

….

"It's good to heard that. Don't worry about that, there is no way that she will disappoint you. However, I can't decide for her. So I will tell her about your propose and call you when I have her answer"

After that he hung up and close his eyes deep in thought. He felt a hand in his shoulder and look behind him. It was his wife and she has a curious face. He smiled "I think I have find a middle school where Naru can attend" His wife only widened her eyes

It was Saturday and Narumi woke up a little more late because she didn't have to attend her elementary school. She move under the covers and rubbed her scarlet eyes with her left hand.

She look to her clock " half past nine in the morning" she said before a yawn escaped from her mouth before she stretch her arms. She looked around her bedroom and shrugged her shoulders when she couldn't find her new little dog that two weeks ago her family give to her. She didn't show it but she actually was very happy when she meet it.

She got off the bed and went into the bathroom, where she brush her teeth and take a bath. After she finished, she look at her mirror and she practically glare at herself before she involved in a towel that reach above her knee. She knew very well that she is in her puberty age. Hikari has explained to her all the changes but she was sure that it wasn't normal to have this kind of breasts. She has seen in her elementary school and all the girls has very little. She didn't like it! They were a lot of trouble when she play basketball and not even a sport bra can help it. They were so uncomfortable! That why she has to start to bandage her chest

She went to her bedroom again and bandage her chest and her hands, then she change in her sports clothes before she tie her large scarlet hair that reach her lower back in a ponytail and grab her basketball.

After that she decided to go to the kitchen to eat her breakfast.

Walking downstairs, Narumi was wondering about the silence atmosphere in the house. It was weird. 'Something is happening' she thought. But before she arrived to the kitchen she heard a bark behind her. Looking around, she smiled and bend over to pat her little dog "Good morning Aoi". The answer she received was a bark. After that she continue to walk to the kitchen with her little dog following behind her.

When she arrived to the kitchen, she saw both of her adoptive parents in the dining table watching tv but the food was untouched. 'They were waiting for me?' she asked herself. Her heart skip a beat and she felt warm but she ignore the feeling.

"Good Morning" she said looking at her feet while sitting down. She sat besides Katsunori who was reading a newspaper and in front of Hikari who only smile at her.

"Narumi" Katsunori said, gaining her attention "We have to talk"

Her eyes were wide in horror and she almost start to tremble. She froze. Her heart sank. She new very well that phrase What was about to happen?. Did she do something wrong? It's because she obtain in her last exam a 92 instead of 100? Did she make them mad? They didn't like her anymore? They realize that she was a dirty and feel disgust with her?. Were they going to hurt her? Were they going to make her quit basketball?. She couldn't allow it! She will apologize. But.. Maybe she deserve it.

She took a deep breath and bit her lip " I-im I'm sorry" she told them, much to their surprise.

They only raised their eyebrows and he asked "What for?"

"I- I'm don't know" she said biting her lip. They sweatdroped "Wh-what happen? W-hy we have to talk? D-did I do something wrong? I'm sorry. It's not going to happen again"

The room fell in a silent atmosphere.

The couple look at each other and wonder what was that reaction. After a while Katsunori realize what Narumi could have think and he face-palmed at his mistake.

"Nothing important to worry about" he said smiling taking her hand assuring to not be afraid. Narumi has live with them for a while but she still was afraid or unsure of what to do or how to act in front of them. After all she never has receive the love and warm of a family.

Hikari also realize the situation and decide to intervine in the conversation. She smiled and said " Naru. Yesterday, at night we received a call from Katsu's old friend. He called asking for a favor"

Narumi calm a little because she didn't do anything wrong. She sighed in relief but then she only tilted her head wondering what have to do this with her. She have met a lot of his old friends, so she didn't know who they were talking about .

"Um.. so?" she asked curious

"And we thought that you could help.. Well we thought that you would want, because its related with a basketball team" she said looking at her reaction and was pleased that even with her stoic face they could see that her eyes beam.

Katsunori continue " You haven't met him yet but I think that we have talk about him.. He is an old friend and he is the head coach of the Teiko Basketball team. You see.. this team is making a lot of trouble and a bad reputation for the school. It's a club that have a lot of members and two coachs has quit and he can't handle alone. So he want to reform all the club but it not easy and he need help. He actually call to ask me if I want to be the coach but I already have my work in Touou Basketball Team.. so I recommend you to him"

Narumi widened her eyes and was silent. For a moment no one talked except for the TV. The couple wait for her answer. They want her to accept because they think that it's a good idea of her attending Teiko next year.

Narumi look up "Not that I mind.. you have do a lot for me and I'm very grateful. And I will be happy to help you.. but do you think that they will allow a twelve year old girl working in the school?" she asked raising an eyebrow

"WHAT!?" the couple yelled in the same moment.

Narumi winced. What did she do now?

"No way!" shouted Katsunori and then sighed to not scary her "We don't want nor need you to work. What we were thinking is that if you want you can help them and next year you could attend Teiko Middle School. Shirogane offer to give you a scholarship and we know that you could make it. We were thinking to start looking for your future middle school, right? So this came and we thought that even if you don't accept this, Teiko Middle school it's a good option for you education"

"mm, well. I don't really care which middle school I will go and I like the idea about helping the basketball team." they smiled "but can I think a little? I want to be sure"

They smiled and nodded "Think all you need but don't feel pressure or something. It's was a suggestion"

She make her rare little smile and blushed looking down "Th-thank you. I will go to the basketball court.. I need to think a little".

They grinned at her reaction. With her past, she become a very cold and stoic person but since she arrived at their house even if they were rare, she sometimes shows them emotion and they were very pleased with that.

Katsunori before she leave the room call her when he realize something "Naru?" she look around at him and raise an eyebrow " This team.. the main reason to reform the club is because they played rough"

"Is that so?" Narumi asked

She turn around again to continue to walking to the entrance door withput looking at them. Her eyes glint dangerously and make a little smile "Interesting" 'Make me want to teach them a lesson'

Usually she went to play to a court that is two blocks from her house. However, when she arrive, she saw that it wasn't empty.

She is a loner and she didn't like to interact with people but when it come to basketball she didn't mind.. a lot.

She saw that there were already ten high school boys so she decided to go to another court.

It only take her ten minutes to reach to the other basketball court. She was lucky and please that nobody was there. She enter in the empty court with Aoi following behind and leave her bag in the bench. She unwrapped her fingers and adjust her weights before she start to practice alone.

She started running across the field to warm up and do her stretching routine. After she finished, she start to do it some lay-ups, shooting and playing by herself.

While she was playing she also start to think about the propose.

Teiko Middle School

For the starters, it's true that they were thinking to start looking for a middle school where she could attend the next year. She really didn't mind where but her adoptive parents always insist that she should choose for one where the education was good. But whatever her school was, she want to be able to play basketball. In her elementary school, there was basketball team but she decided to not to. She want to have a low profile. Lucky, in this elementary school, nobody knew about her and because of that, she was very pleased.

She really likes the idea. Everything that it involved basketball she would like. There is no doubt about that. But she wasn't sure that she could do it. She has to see all the advantages and disadvantages.

She didn't have any friend and she is not looking for one, she didn't need anyone. She couldn't trust anyone , becuase in the end they will betrayed her or bully her like in the past. They always talk with her for her power and surname and not really for who she was.

But, in the basketball club, at least she will meet people who she can teach her skills and play with them basketball. But the problem was that… what if she couldn't reach their expectative? It was her worst fear. She was afraid that she could not complied with their request. What if she make a bad reputation for the Harasawa Family? What will happen to her? She didn't know it. And she didn't want to find it.

Another thing bothering her was the last words of Katsunori.

"They play rough"

That make her veins boil and be angry. That is something she couldn't forgive. And this is the mainly reason that make her accept the request. She has learn basketball in the streets and she knew very well that it can be rude but another different thing is play rough to win a match.

So, she will accept and teach them a lesson. They will regret the day that decide to play in that way.

She has a lot of different kind of thoughts in her head and while she was thinking about all the situation, mainly about their rough play, she didn't notice but she start to increase her speed and strength in her moves.

She also was oblivious to the dark skinned boy standing in front of her, who was waving at her with a wide smile and sparkle in his eyes
