Love in Basketball

Chapter One : New Beginnings I

At the Tokyo International Airport, a girl stood with her bags as she waited for her driver. She wore her dark burgundy hair in a side bun, but let her bangs hang as they shifted to the right side of her face. There were also longer clumps of hair hanging from the side and had two hair clips on the left side of her hair.

Her skin was fairly tanned and she had glassy hazel eyes. She wore a bright yellow colored spaghetti strap summer dress with a short black shawl and black strapped wedges with a flower nearby her toes. Although she had no bracelets or earrings, she wore a silver open heart charm necklace.

"Excuse me…" the girl turned her head towards a tall man in a tuxedo and wore a black hat. "Are you Miss Soma," he asked. "Yes sir," the girl replied. "No need for formalities ma'am I am your driver, Saito," he responded. The girl just nodded, she just doesn't feel right talking to those who are older than her in any kind of way.

The man led her to a limousine, although on the outside it was small, the inside was amazing. I don't think I've ever been in a vehicle so nice, not even in the States,she thought. "Miss Soma, I called the Soma Manor to have a meal ready for you. This will be a long drive and there aren't many restaurants that the Master thinks is for you," Saito said. "O-Oh, that really wasn't necessary," she responded.

"A-also, just call me Tai. I'm not very used to the Miss thing, especially since I asked the workers in the States to use formalities to make me comfortable," she stated. "Shall I call you Miss Taiya then," he responded. Wanting to give herself a face palm, Taiya replies, "That'll do," as she smiled.

About two hours later, the limo stopped in front of an enormous gate. Once the gate open, the limo went through the circular drive way and stopped directly in front of the door. Taiya couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her father's manor in Japan was so much more beautiful than the one he owned in the States. Saito escorted her from the limo to the door.

As the door opened a man stood at the door. "Taiya-chan, sweetheart you're okay," but as the man tried to hug Tai, she simply stepped aside and let the man fly out the door. "Taiiii! How dare you do that to your old man? I haven't seen you since the last business meeting, which is no place for father daughter time!"

Tai's father was very tall, his cool composure isn't really seen every time he sees his daughter. However, Tai remains calm and composed, unlike her father, even around her friends. "As many times as I've been here to visit my friend, you chose to put me to work too. Plus didn't we go to dinner and the movies after that meeting?"

"But Taiya-chan every Soma has to do the Soma greeting," her father stated with a cool expression. "The Soma greeting...," she thought out loud. "Oh Mitsuki-san where did I go wrong with our child!" Caught off guard, Tai's father attacked her with the most tightening hug he had ever given her. "Fa…ther…ah….can't….breathe…," she tried to speak. Mr. Soma let go of his daughter, but she fell to the floor. "AHHH! Taiya-chan are you okay?!" He began to scramble around as if he were having a panic attack. "Yeah….just dying," she replied. "Oh thank goodness," he stated, completely oblivious to her last remark.

Saito finished bringing in the last of Tai's items, "Excuse me Master Soma, shall I show Miss Taiya to her room?" "Hmm, ohhh yes! Taiya-chan you're gonna love your room. I had it modeled exactly like the one you had in America!" Mr. Soma had a huge smile of accomplishment. Tai quickly got up from the floor and looked at her father speechless. "Is something wrong?…Ahh did you not want it that way? Stupid, stupid I should've thought about it bef-" "No it's fine, I'm just a little tired.…," she replied.

Tai began unpacking in her new room. Although several things were larger and added, like the closet, dressers and vanity mirror, the room was a replica down to the bedding set. When she began to unpack her clothes, she opened the closet to find that her father had bought her a full wardrobe, so she had to put the others in one of her dressers. Once she was finished she went downstairs for the meal that awaited her.

She was skeptical at first because her other chef allowed her to cook as well. However this one wasn't so fond of it, but in a good way. "Lady Soma! I am Chef Ryouga! I hope this meal will give you the most satisfaction after such a long flight. I heard about your previous chef, but a young woman of such status should NOT danger her hands in the art of cooking," a large, muscular man stated.

He wore all white with a waist apron and had a funny looking mustache. "Err... Oh—kay," she replied. Tai looked at the dish laid before her. She had never seen Japanese style food look so appetizing, but when you're stuck on a plane with nothing but wealthy American food for a 10 hour flight anything looked better at this present moment. With just one bite, Tai spiraled in her mind into a world of deliciousness. That was only the beginning, she was also given one of her favorite desserts. Oreo ice cream with chocolate covered strawberries.

After her meal, she felt extremely tired. Tai knew if she slept she'd have to wake up and go to her new school the next day. They had already started the new fall, so she has to introduce herself to all of her new classmates. Unfortunately, jet lag once again overpowered the helpless teen and she fell sound asleep.

The next morning, Tai woke up to find that her school uniform was ready for her to go along with long socks and cute loafers. After she put on her new uniform, which was awkward since UNCSA* didn't require students to wear them. She put her hair up in a high pony tail. She put a cute butterfly clip on the hair band to make it look like a butterfly scrunchie. Tai also placed the two hair pins on the left side again, along with her bangs. She let medium length hair hang on the sides to make the hairstyle fit her face.

She wore the same heart charm necklace since she was unable to decide on a different one for that day and she wasn't worried about being late since she was the new student and could go in any time of the day. Downstairs, Chef Ryouga left her a delicious omelet rice with some orange juice. On the table there was a letter where her father had left her a note, which explains where the crazy business man went.

Dear Beloved Taiya-chan,

I regret not being able to have your first breakfast, before you attend your new school, with you this morning. There was a problem in the China branch so I had to fly out earlier this morning. I hope that you've rested well because I was worried when you weren't wondering around the house like you usually would. Anyway, the school you will be attending is Seirin High. That's where Tsuki-kun's daughter is going. BEAT HER TO A PULP!….Just kidding :3. Actually I thought attending there with someone you know would make you more comfortable and I even had you two put in the same class. It's class 1-B I believe. If it weren't for you being known as America's All Around Student, I wasn't sure if putting you in a public school or any other top schools in Tokyo were necessary. In fact it's your fault they kept calling my phone…Tsuki-kun even had to save me from a great depression. Before I babble on, enjoy your day and I am worried about you playing sports so I chose something girly. You're in the Cheerleading Club! :DDD Yay! Don't you love it when I look out for you? Mwuahh Have a lovely day and don't forget to make plenty of friends and be careful cause you know I don't like guys being all over you x.x Love you Taiya!

Love,

The Best Father in the World.

Cheerleading? Does he really think that he can break how I usually act?, she thought. She went inside the limo, wondering about the new class and school that awaits her.

"Lalalalalalalalalalala" A girl with curly dark hair began to sing with a huge smile. Her eyes were a grayish purple and had olive skin. She kept singing her silly song until finally someone said, "Rei…why the hell are you singing?" A guy had red hair and was black at the roots. He was really large especially in the tiny desk, and had facial expression of a wild tiger.

"Bakagami, do you live in a cave? We get a new classmate today," she replied with a smile. "Why you—why are you excited about some new kid anyway I bet he's not even all that great," he snapped back flushed red with anger."She is great. She's my best friend Taiya Soma, America's All Around Student. Not only is she smart like me, she plays instruments very well, I just love it when she plays the piano, and she's good at any sport. Give her anything that's needed in that sport and I guarantee she'll win without fail! We're in the cheerleading club together too," Rei said as she smiled at the wild tiger. "Oh great, another loud mouth," he grunted. "What? Tai-chan's nothing like me. She's so cool cause she's always so chill! We're rivals too, but I admire her a lot…," she replied.

"Rei-san, did you just say Soma. As in the Soma Zaibatsu?" A boy with light blue hair and blue eyes who had the appearance of an innocent child, stood in between the desks of Kagami and Rei."K-k-Kuroko! You bastard! Don't you know you scare people?" Kagami fell out of is chair, waving his arms trying to grab something to break his fall. "I think it's funny, a guy as big as you being scared by someone who looks like they wouldn't hurt a fly." Rei was enjoying the fact that Kagami gets out of his tough act, especially when Kuroko shows up.

"Shut up! And what's this thing about a Zabasu or whatever?" Rei continued to laugh at the tiger, while Kuroko stood expressionless. "Zaibatsu and yes Kuroko-kun she's just like me…a heiress and president of several portions of her father's Zaibatsu," Rei replied standing on her desk, while Kagami face palmed himself "Rei-san I'm surprised you two are friends instead of mortal enemies….Isn't that how the business world works Rei-san?" Kuroko looked a bit confused, something that rarely happens.

"Yeah, but our fathers are good friends and rivals too. They'd never do anything to harm each other though. They never tell us why though…," Rei replied with a look of deep thought. "So she's famous and rich, are you sure she's not just another snob? Unlike you and some of the students here, the wealthiest kids here are snobs." Kagami rolled his eyes at the thought of having the new student here. "True but when Tai-chan gets here she and I will be the top two wealthiest students here." Rei patted Kagami on his back.

Rei looked around, "Where's Kuroko-kun?" looking at Kagami. "I don't know why don't you go look for him if you're so worried," he snapped back."Bakagami why are you so mean, plus both of you are in the basketball club too aren't you. That makes you teammates," she whined. "People who are bad at basketball don't deserve to be called my teammate," he snarled. "How cruel," Rei whined.

Before the two could finish their conversation, their sensei walked in. "Alright class take your seats, we have a new student here with us today from the States," he stated. The class took their seats and began to watch Tai as she walked in. Rei smiled at her friend, while Tai gave a small wave back. Kagami stared at the girl. There's no way she's good at any sports…I'm gonna be the best player in Japan. It's strange though, I can usually smell someone's strength. Rei's pretty strong, but this girl I don't smell anything. She's weak like Kuroko…, he thought as he smirked.

"Miss please introduce yourself to the class," Sensei stated. "Hello, my name is Taiya Soma nice to meet you, but feel free to call me Tai," she said with a small smile. The class sat with speechless and shocked expression, even the Sensei couldn't believe what he was hearing.. "Miss Soma…are you the Miss Soma, the daughter of the Mr. Soma?" he asked. "Yes sir," she replied. His eyes just widened, "W-well then please take your seat here," he responded as he pointed towards a seat near the window beside Rei.

When Tai took her seat, she and Rei had done their best friend greeting. "Tai-chan long time no see," Rei said. "Yeah, I can say the same Rei-chan," she replied. The class went on until there was a loud smack, which came from Sensei hitting the back of someone's head…"OWWWW!" Kagami shouted. "How dare you sleep through my class Taiga?! Do we need another detention?!" Sensei shouted. "N-no sir," Kagami replied. "Too bad, you've got it anyway," Sensei responded. His classmates began to giggle and laugh as Kagami received another detention and it was only the 5th day since the semester started. If they knew what hell Riko would put us through they wouldn't be laughing, he thought. All of a suddend he heard snoring. Kagami could only clench his fist at the fact that Kuroko was about to sleep during the entire class and not get noticed at all.

It was finally lunch time and Tai couldn't wait to eat with her friend. When she went to go get something out of the drink machine she turned and bumped into…something that felt like a brick wall. She looked up and saw the guy who had just gotten a detention in her class. "Sorry, I didn't know you were behind me," she looked up at the somewhat infuriated tiger.

"Whatever, just watch your step next time," he said as he glared at her, recently some girls who ran into anyone from the basketball club would have huge smiles or blush…she was different especially for a cheerleader. Tai's too chill, so his rude demeanor didn't bother her at all. "Yeah right, at least I didn't drop my lunch box," she replied with a small smile. He continued to give her the same look. "Is something wrong?" she asked. "No, just trying to see if something is true...but I guess it isn't," he said as he walked off after getting 4 drinks from the machine.

Kagami left without introducing himself, but before she knew it Tai had once again bumped into someone, but this time it was like a cushion so she knew at least it was a guy. "T-t-taiya-sama?" a shrill voice asked. It was a girl who had average length brown hair, pale skin and green eyes. She also wore glasses, which gave away her identity to Tai.

Tai's eyes lit up as she saw her old friend, "Asa-chan," Tai said. Although she had no expression, Tai was happy to see her friend Asami Kamiya, heir to the Kamiya fortunes. "Asa-chan you don't have to call me that just call me Tai-chan. We are friends right?" Tai asked. "Y-yea sorry," the socially awkward girl replied. "No need to apologize. You're in a wealthy lineage, if anyone is a -sama it's you. You were technically born rich," she replied. Asami had a small blush and nodded.

"Taiii-chan~! Asaaaa-chan~!" Rei sang as she ran up to her friends. "You guys want to go outside and eat?" she asked the two girls. "Yeah sure," Tai replied, while Asami just nodded. The three friends went outside and sat under a huge cherry blossom tree, "Tai-chan's always so chill. I'm shocked you signed up for the cheerleading club," Rei said.

Tai almost choked on her food, "Uh well, I didn't my father signed me up so I wouldn't try to do any other dangerous sports as he would say. I may do soccer though. I really like that. Do they have women's basketball here?" Tai asked. "Sadly no, just the guys. They're so lucky. If only japan would go to america and look and see how girls can play basketball just like guys," Rei sighed.

"Asa-chan you're cheering too aren't you?" Tai asked. "U-um yes. Rei-san said it would help with my social skills," she replied with a quiet voice. "Ahh, that makes sense, but are you sure you'll be fine being in front of a bunch of people? Even the players themselves?" Tai asked. Asami fell over at the thought of hearing fans cheering, but they were watching her, the basketball players too."Tai-chan~. Don't worry her like that!" Rei shouted.

"I'm just worried, what if she ends up having a crush on one of them?" Tai asked. Asami's face became a deep red, while Rei's eyes widened. "Asa-chan you like someone already?" Rei asked. Asami sat still with her head down. "Do we know him, is he on the team?" Tai asked. With plenty of questions being asked by her two friends Asami remained still until she heard a someone's voice. It was Koganei Shinji…..
