No Turning Back

by keepcalmnwatchanime

Ren and Rin Miyashiro are a pair of special girls. Ren was always so cheerful and happy, and then she went to Teiko Middle School for one year. And it changed her forever. Now she's back, but at Seirin with her sister Rin. And both are thirsty for vengeance against Aomine, but for very different reasons.

1. My Name Is

I was on my way to the beach where I had heard Seirin was practicing during the summer. As I approached the glowing sand and the sparkling waters, anticipation started bubbling in my gut. "I can't believe that I'm going to finish my first year of senior high at Seirin!" I spoke softly to myself, trying to calm my nerves. At my old High School, the captain of the basketball team told me that since Seirin would be the best option if I wanted to play. After waiting for some time, my dream was starting to come true, and if the basketball club accepted me into their group… Kyaaa! The thought of it gives me goosebumps, and makes me shivery all over!

As I got closer to the beach, I could see Seirin practicing in the sand. I took a deep breath in to calm myself down, when my older twin sister walked up to me. "Oi, Ren." She looked at me with my amber eyes. "You do know you're not exactly a stranger, right?"

I sighed at her, she was always babying me. "Hey, Rin. What's up?", I asked her in a casual tone, while rolling my eyes at her. Rin smirked at me, "Nothing, just getting my daily dose of meddling in." Her eyes lost their teasing shine and she got serious, "But really, Kagami is my boyfriend. We both sometimes help out with practices. There is absolutely no need for you to be so shy, Ren." Rin was quiet for a few beats, before she broke into another grin. "Unless, you like someone on the team, of course."

I choked on my own spit. "Why the hell would I like someone on the basketball team?! I don't even know any of them, except for Kagami, natch." I huffed back at her, giving her a little sass.

She looked me over, and gave me her mischief-making toothy grin. "That's the little sister I know. Go get'em Tiger." I widened my eyes in surprise, before I broke out into a full smile. "Right." I nodded. "Besides, it's not like anyone from Teiko is on their team. And even if there were, they wouldn't recognize me. I only went there for a year before I transferred to another school."

Rin looked at me, like she wanted to say something. "Um…", she started to say. "What? What is it?" I asked innocently. She looked off to the side before speaking. "Nothing. Have fun." And with that, Rin went down to the beach to go swim.

"Hmmm… Somehow, I felt like she was going to say something about Teiko…" I thought to myself out loud. "Oh well. Guess I'll never know!" I stated simply, shrugging my shoulders. I jogged over to where the Seirin High Basketball team was, stopping about 100 feet from where they were. "Okay, Ren. " I started talking to myself. "You gotta get your act together. Get your game face on, right, NOW!" I felt myself get into what I call my 'Game Mode'. I felt my face twist into a wicked, evil, demonic grin. "This is gonna be fun." I said before I started walking towards them again.

"OI!" I shouted over to them. I got the attention of the girl who was with them, not to mention the whole team. The girl looked at me, and sighed. "Back to work,guys. I'll get rid of her." She said, lugging herself towards me like a zombie. My grin faded, and I felt my eye twitching at her response. Bitches gon' be trippin... Maybe I'll push one…. We'll find out later. As I thought that to myself, I caught sight of Kagami standing next to a guy with blue hair. I broke out into a half smile. "Hey, Kagami! How are you?" I asked while waving at him.

"Hey, Miya. Where's your sister?" Kagami replied, lifting one arm in greeting.

I pointed at my sister down the beach. "She's playing volleyball with strangers on a beach she's never been to." I dropped my arm back to my side. "So, you know, the usual." I shrugged.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain coming from my ear. "YEEOOOWWWW!" I cried, jumping up in the air in pain. At the same time, I felt myself be dragged backwards. "HUH?!" The girl from before had grabbed me by the ear and was tugging me away from the Seirin basketball team. "Hey!? Where are you taking me!? I demand to know!" I hollered, putting up a good fight, kicking and screaming. "I don't know who you are, but as far as I know, you aren't on this team. Therefore, GET OUT!" She yelled at me.

I grit my teeth in frustration. "Look, Lady." I hissed at her after wriggling myself free from her grip, "I am most certainly not in the mood to deal with your shit! I came here to join this team, and I'm not leaving until I have done so!" I snarled with ferocity. "Do you understand?!"

The girl glared daggers at me before responding. "Yeah. But. you're a girl! There's no way the league would be okay with you joining! Go make a basketball team for girls." She huffed at me, before starting to walk away.

I grinded my teeth together even more than before. "I can't! They banned me from being part of the Women's League last year! I have a note if you got complaints!" I spoke with a flourish, thrusting the piece of paper that held my fate into her face.

She gave me a look of confusion, and snatched it away from me and looked at it. As she read it, she mumbled what was written on it; "'Miyashiro Ren has been formally dropped from the Women's Basketball League of Japan(and the World) because of hundreds of complaints made by 1,000 persons of her local population.' Wow, that must suck." She said the last part looking back up at me. "Keep reading, it gets better." I responded, jerking my head towards the letter.

She went back to reading it; "'Because she has been banned from the Women's Basketball League, it is too our deepest regrets that according to the agreement we have made, we grant her permission to play in the Men's Basketball League. Signed, The Chairman of the Women's Basketball League & The Chairman of the Men's Basketball League.'" She looked at the sheet of paper, and then back to me a few times.

I glowered at her. "Ya know, looking back at it, isn't gonna make me go away!" I shot at her in an annoyingly sing-song way.

She glared bullets at me, "Don't you think I know that!?" The girl snarled, shoving the paper back to me. "I'm just wondering if you're worth my time to look at to join the team." I was a few shots away from killing her.

"Look," I started, trying to reason with her. "Just give me a chance. Make me play against Kagami or something, so I can prove myself to you! I'm good enough to get banned from Women's Basketball. I should be good enough for your stinking team." The girl looked at me strangely, and I realized my faux pas, and tried to correct myself as best as I could. "Um, I mean, the Seirin Basketball Team, which did very well since it's still a new school."

She nodded in agreement. "Damn straight, Girlie." She looked me over a bit more, before she finally nodded and spoke. "Alright. I'll have you play Kagami. I feel like I've seen you before, but

whatever." She walked away, raising one hand in the air in some sort of wave. "Prepare to die!" She snickered as she started jogging off to get Kagami, who had resumed practice after seeing me get dragged off by the ear. "OI! KAGAMI! THERE'S A GIRL WHO WANTS TO PLAY YOU!"

Kagami, being Kagami, looked over with a stupid look on his face and said one of the most simple phrases he could utter; "Huh?". He looked towards the girl who was running at him, and then he looked back at me. "Oh, hey! Miya, what're ya doin'?" He asked as he strolled calmly in my direction.

Just as I opened my mouth to respond, my cell went off; 'She's a Bombshell Blonde, Wired up to detonate!', "Dammit..." I muttered under my breath, searching for my phone in my gym bag that was draped across my shoulder. 'I'm James Bond, Live to die another day! Bombshell Blonde, High explosive dynam-'. "Hello?" I finally got to my phone, after giving Kagami the 'Hold-on-for-a-sec' gesture. "Who's this?" The person on the other end didn't respond, making me nervous. "Helloooo~?"

"Hey, this Miyashiro Ren?" A calm yet commanding voice wafted from my phone. I cocked an eyebrow. "Yeeesss… This is she…" I replied suspiciously. Immediately, I heard a sigh of relief. "Thank God. Ren, this is Akashi. Akashi Seijuro. I am the Captain of the Generation of Mira-" I cut him off there. "Yeah. I know who you are, Akashi." I sighed while rolling my eyes at him. I then just realized that I never gave any of the Miracles my number. I mean, I went to their school for like, one year. That would be a little too friendly for my tastes. "By the way, Akashi, how did you get my number?" I asked in all sincerity. "I got it from Atushi, who got it from Shintaro, who got it from Ryota, who got it when he stole your phone that one time at practice." I groaned on the inside at what I had just discovered.

"I already knew Mura had my number... Wait! Hold the friggin phone! You're telling me, that basically everyone except Aomine has my phone number, because Kise decided to pick on me randomly?!" I rage-vented into my phone. "Actually-" Akashi started to say before I cut him off, waving my free hand around randomly. "Wait! Don't tell me! The Asshat has my number too!?" The following silence gave me my answer. "GAH!" I tugged at my hair, and violently kicked a pile of sand that was next to me. "THE NEXT TIME I SEE THAT BITCH KISE, I'M GONNA FUCKIN' KILL HIM!" I felt that I was drawing attention to myself. "Hang on a sec, Akashi." I spoke calmly, before turning around. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!? WAIT LIKE A FUCKING NORMAL PERSON, KAGAMI!" I exploded at the person who was staring at me strangely. I realized that it wasn't Kagami looking at me(he looked like he was thinking about something.), but the shorter guy with blue hair who had been standing next to him earlier. Now that I'm finally getting a better look at him, he kinda looks a little familiar to me. "Akashi…" I started saying into the phone slightly creeped out, and very cautiously. "You're gonna have to call me back." I didn't even wait to hear his reply. I hang up on him on the spot. Something was telling me that the guy with blue hair deserved my full, undivided, attention.

"Alright Svelte, Pale, & Average. You got my attention." I huffed at him, placing my hands on my hips in an offstandish way. "Now, as I not-so-delicately put it earlier, what do you want?" I questioned him cocking an eyebrow at him, suspicious. The long lost member of the Blue Man Group opened his mouth to speak; "Long time, no see... Remie." He spoke without emotion like a robot, maintaining a freakish amount of eye-contact with me. I tilted my head in confusion. 'Remie'? How does Snowflake here know the nickname that a friend who looks a freakish amount like him gave me in the past- oh shit. Wait. Hold up. As I did my internal dialogue, my brain made a connection for the first time after seeing him. Seriously, I may be a genius on the field, but I swear as soon as I step off, I turn into a dense idiot when it comes to observation and attention control/focus.

I forced my face into a cocky smile with cold-blooded eyes. "Right back at ya," I responded with an audible smirk. "Kuroko." Just before the sparks could start flying, Kagami stepped in. "Oi! Kantoku told me that I'm supposed to do a one-on-one with you to see if you are worth her time. She said that if you made one basket, you were in." He looked me over, trying to judge my abilities. His worst mistake. "Honestly, I don't know what you're trying to do, but I can tell it's not going to end well." He got into a defensive position. "Prepare to eat sand!"

I narrowed my eyes at him. There was no way I was gonna let him get away with saying that. "You wish you could be as awesome as me, Kagami." I directed my laser eyes at Kuroko, tossing my bag to the side like trash. "Kuroko, toss me a ball." My eyes switched back to Kagami's. "I'm gonna make this Yankee wish he could move back to America." He nodded and silently shot a basketball towards me, I caught it one-handed without blinking. "Ready?" I asked Kagami, shifting my center of balance so I would be able to take off like lightning.

"Bring it on." He replied, his American bravado unwavering.

I let myself be overcome by my evil side. "Excellent…" I spoke, bringing the ball right in front of me, smacking my left hand into it. And then I started dribbling.

Let me remind you; We are on a BEACH. With SAND. The obvious shock was worn across Kagami's face. But that expression only made my dark side want to terrorize him further. So, I started to show off a little. I did a crossover and drove to the basket with Kagami hot on my heels. I jumped up, as if to take a shot, when Kagami yelled; "Not while I'm playing against you!", and tried to block my shot. My eyes narrowed, and finally for the first time today, my smile reached my eyes. Even if it was an evil one. "Heh. That's adorable." I snickered as I started to lean back, mischief gleaming in my eyes. I was almost parallel to the ground, when I finally took the shot. As I fell backwards, my long dark orange hair covered my amber eyes and the rest of the upper part of my face, leaving my smirking lips and white teeth blazing against my tan complexion.

At the last possible moment, I planted my palms on the ground and did a backflip to prevent my quite possibly premature death. I landed with my left foot in front of my right in a lunge position, with both of my arms stretched at a 135 degree angle. I didn't even have to listen to the gasps to know the ball went in. Kagami strode towards me, raving. "What the hell was that? Where did you learn to do that?! The only people I've seen do that before now were-".

Kuroko appeared next to him and cut him off, finishing the sentence. "Aomine and Kise."

I returned to a normal stance before I responded to their interrogation. "Now that's just rude." I started to say. They both tried to say something, but I raised my left hand to silence them with my right hand on my hip. I lowered my hand as I started speaking again. "Just listen to my reasons before y'all bite my head off." I lifted my left hand, and brought it right next to my left shoulder with my index finger raised. "One; I just did an awesome backflip, and nobody commented on it. Two-".

'Tell me baby, If it's wrong,', I was cut off by the sound of my cell ringing from my gym bag. Again.'To let my hands, Do what they want.', "Shhhhiiiiiiiii..." I trailed off, racing for my bag. 'Late at night, I pretend we are', "WHY DOES THIS ONLY HAPPEN TO ME?!" I cried out as I dug for my phone in my gym bag, kneeling next to it.'Dance-Dan-Da-Dance-Dancing in the Dar-', "Hey, Mura. I'm kinda busy right now." I said coolly, right after I flipped open my phone. "Can I call you back later?"

He sounded kinda upset when he answered me. "Eh? Really? I wanted to take you to see this new candy shop." Murasakibara responded in his bored, monotone voice. "I thought it would have some sweets you might like..."

I shot straight up onto my knees, my eyes widening in surprise. "Y-You're joking." I managed to choke out after gagging on my tongue for a few seconds. "You want to bring me with you?! What did you do? Who's dying? Who did you kill? Did someone blackmail you?" I bombarded him with questions, suspicious.

"No. I didn't do anything. No one is dying. And no one is making do anything against my will. If anyone tried, I would crush them." He responded semi-intensely.

I found myself forcing laughter. "Hahahaha, that's so like you, Mura!" I exclaimed. "But seriously, why-?" I got cut off for the first time by an actual person today.

"Their Coconut Cream Fudge is good, and I thought you would like it since you really like coconuts and candy that have coconut in them..." Murasakibara trailed off.

"Aw, really?" I started to gush. "That's so sweet Mura- Hey! GIVE ME BACK MY PHONE!" I yelled at Kuroko in vain, because as soon as I hurled my five-foot-one self at him, Kagami acted as a shield. "Ugh! Kagami, let me go!" He looked at me with boiling eyes. "Calm down. I'll let you go in a minute." I looked back at Kuroko with helpless eyes as he brought my phone to his ear

"Sorry, Murasakibara. Remie is hanging out with the Seirin Basketball Team today. She doesn't have time for you right now." I could have sworn Kuroko's eyes narrowed a bit as he said that last sentence. I could just make out Murasakibara's voice from my cell.

Huh. Well that explains why they cut in my conversation. But understanding doesn't help me forgive them. I thought to myself while hearing him talk.

"Eh? Kuroko? Really? Well then, tell Shorty to call me back when she's done. I'll be waiting." With that, Murasakibara hung up on Kuroko.

Kuroko shut my phone and turned back to me. "What's with that ringtone you gave him?" He questioned me while tilting his head.

I felt my face heat up. "I-It's nothing!" I stammered as I snatched my phone away from him. "A-Anyways, if you're gonna judge ringtones, you should hear the one Kagami gave my sister!" I blurted, desperate to get the topic off of me.

'You're just an animal that I know I'm yours, So rip my clothes off!'.

"Speak of the devil. Perfect timing, sis." I breathed in awe.

'And it's like ooouh, ouh! And then we ooouh, ouh! Just come inside my cage, You Bad Dog!'. "Dammit. This is awkward." Kagami muttered, on the phone hunt. 'You're just an animal that I caught. You know I'm yours, So rip my clothes off! And it's like ooouh, ouh! And then we ooouh, ou-'.

"What's wrong, Rin...?" Kagami greeted my sister with. He paused for a minute, quiet as a mouse, waiting for her response. "Wha?! Seriously!?" At that moment, he glanced over his shoulder at me like a predator. I smiled back at him, even though I felt a bead of sweat trickling down my back. Kagami the Grim Reaper turned back to his conversation. "W-Well, it's not like I'm upset to hear your voice... Yeah, see you later... Me too, bye."

As the reaper snapped his phone shut, he turned his wrath towards me. "REN!?" I giggled and coughed into my hand. "Ahem," I cleared my throat. "Yeeess~?" My smile was as stiff as a tree. "Rin said, 'My twin-sense told me to call you.'. YOU'RE HER TWIN! WHAT DID YOU DO?!".

Closing my eyes and scratching the back of my neck, I started giggling in fear again. "Hehehe… Um… Well…" I stopped moving and snapped my eyes open. "BYE!" I called, snatching my gym bag and racing off as if my life depended on it. Which it did.

I heard Kagami's teeth grinding and heavy footsteps behind me. "GET BACK HERE, IDIOT!" I snickered at him like a mad man before making eye contact.

"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!" I cackled over my shoulder before speeding up. "THE TEIKO TRACK & FIELD TEAM DIDN'T MISS ME FOR NOTHING!"

I'm actually better at running for long distances than I am at basketball. I've been running since I could walk. My REAL parents were total health nuts. But my adoptive parents are even worse. In the summer, we go out for a morning jog at 6 am, go on an afternoon run at noon, and take a 'nice' evening jog. During the school year, we do our summer regime on weekends and holidays, but on days we have school we have to go through an obstacle course in the morning like we're in Spy Kids. I swear, they enjoy slowly killing my sister and me. But thanks to that, we've had an abnormally high metabolism since we were 9.

As I was off in La La Land, appreciating the fact that my adoptive parents were on a cruise, I didn't pay attention to where I was going.

CRASH!

So I ran smack-dab into one of the Seirin players and we went down like Jack and Jill. I felt my face heat up a bit, and I went back to "normal". "I-I'm so sorry!" I couldn't even bring myself to look at the guy I hit. "It's alright. Don't worry so much about it. But, could you at least let me up?" The guy asked.

My eyes bugged open as I shot to my feet like a rocket. I hadn't been chest-to-chest with the guy, but I still had had him caged. I scurried away from him, but got trapped by the girl from before. "Noooo~! Don't take me baaaaack~!" I whimpered, feeling myself being dragged by the back of my midnight tank top. "I'll die! Kagami's still after me!" The girl snorted at me.

"Yes, I'm sure he is. Because Kuroko totally didn't stop him." She replied using sarcasm, not looking back at me. "By the way, my name is Aida Riko. I'm the coach of Seirin's Basketball Team, and the guy you bowled down is the captain; Hyuga Junpei."

Said man approached us as she dragged me to him. "Oi, Hyuga." Riko let me go as she spoke to Hyuga. "We have a new member. This is… Oh, I forgot it. What's your na- Huh? Where'd she go?" Riko scanned the area to find me crouched and shaking like a small rodent behind Kuroko's legs.

"Have Mercy, Have Mercy, Have Mercy…" I repeatedly squeaked in my squirrel-like state as I sensed Riko approaching. I suddenly felt a hand on my head. "HAVE MERCY!" I yelped going up like a firework.

"Remie, you'll be okay." I heard Kuroko's voice, and I realized he was the one who placed his hand on my head. Once again, I felt a hand stroking my head, calming the waves of my fear.

I let the emotions that were flowing in me swim around a bit, before catching one at random and reacting. Anger flashed through my eyes like lightning prior to my lashing out at Kuroko. "Kuroko, you almost killed me." I spoke with an uncanny amount of calmness, taking a page from Akashi's book. "Did you know what you were doing?" I finished my reign of terror with a closed-eye smile "Hmmm?" The final blow.

His hand jumped off my head, and I opened my eyes to find him in the 'I surrender' pose. "Um, n-no!" Kuroko began to stutter. "I-I mean, I knew what I was doing, but I-I didn't mean to scare you!"

I dropped the act. My eyes went dull, transforming into a color like rusty pennies. My face became shadows, and my eyebrows flatlined. My mouth shaped into a stern pucker, as if I had seen something and disapproved of it. "Kuroko. No one is allowed to touch me. Ever. Do you understand?" I stood up and brushed the sand from my knees as I realized I forgot to clear something up. "And I wasn't scared!" I looked up at him and folded my arms across my chest. "We clear?"

Kuroko dropped his arms and sighed. He looked up at me with gratefulness in his eyes as he smiled a cutesy smile that made chills run down my spine. "Crystal." He spoke in a voice like cotton candy.

It pissed me off.

"What are you smiling at, Snowflake?!" I burst at Kuroko, not quite sure how to react in situations like these. Kuroko stared at me blankly. "You, of course." He replied bluntly. That comment made my face turn red, and I freaked out.

"GOD! HOW CAN YOU SAY EMBARRASSING THINGS LIKE THAT, KUROKO!?" I gasped, flapping my arms rapidly like a humming bird. "JEEZ! If this is how you normally act, I can see how Momoi likes you!" I had stopped acting like a bird and hugged my arms to my chest. Uck. Whenever people get sugary sweet like that, it makes my skin crawl and I taste throw-up in my mouth. Rin says I kinda act like that with Murasakibara, but I choose not to believe her. It makes my life easier.

"Did you forget about your coach?" I heard Riko right behind me, as she sunk her talons into my shoulders.

I paled and jumped, turning around begging for my life. "Have Mercy!" I repeatedly cried, bowing like a maniac. In the middle of my beseeching, a hand got in the way of my bowing. It smacked against my forehead, causing me to lose my rhythm and land almost flat on my back. I looked up, and saw that the hand was connected to the guy I had ran over earlier. I mean, the Captain of the Basketball Team; Hyuga Junpei.

"As much as I enjoy seeing someone who shows their Seniors respect," Hyuga started to convey. "I think you need to introduce yourself right now. Besides, I said it was alright earlier. Now, let's get to know our new teammate, shall we?" He looked pointedly at me as the rest of the team gathered around so I was in the center.

I nodded, and took a deep breath in. "Okay. My name is…".
