Ok, so I just read pretty much all the stories of Girl Got Game on this site and they're all really good. But most are based on Kyo- which makes sense considering she IS the main character of the series- but I though it would be nice to change it a bit and write about Imai. This story is not a Tsuyaka/ Imai pairing because I personally don't like that match (sorry to those that do), so I will have to make up a character for him. The story starts after Kyo defeats the team and gets to stay even though she is a girl, it's their first game(with the team knowing that Kyo is a girl).

Warning: I've only read up until the 3rd GGG volume and Imai doesn't appear very often in these volumes so I'm sorry if his character doesn't quite match, it's pretty much built from scratch(hey that rhymed).

Disclaimer: As much as it hurts me I DO NOT OWN Girl Got Game, and the characters, placesand events from the manga do not belong to me. The rest, however, is mine.

Kinoko High School

Kyo slided through the recently waxed floor of the gym, reaching her annoyed teammates breathlessly.

"Kyo! Where were you? The game was supposed to start 10 minutes ago" questioned an annoyed Imai "You're lucky the other team is late".

"Sorry Imai. I was talking to the principal." Kyo answered in between gasps. "They didn't find out I'm a girl or anything like that" she explained when she saw her teammates worried faces. It had been 2 and a half weeks since the whole team had accepted her as a girl and they were constantly worried about someone else finding out her secret.

"Good" replied Hamaya letting out a breath.

"Ok" interrupted Imai, also looking relieved "I just got word about the team we're playing. They're from a posh school on the Far East side of town. They had a boys' team as well as a girls' team but them most of the girls on the team changed schools as well as a large number of the guys on the boys' team. Because of the lack of players they had to make up a new co-ed team, with both girls and boys. Apparently this combination helped them out a lot, because the boys' team used to suck (although I heard the girl's team was really good); now they managed to get here to play us on the semi-finals of the tournament so I want you all to play hard. I don't want you to take it easy on the girls on their team, play equally, just like we do with Kyo."

"What's the school?" Kyo asked, cheerily smiling at Imai's last comment.

"Kinoko High School" he answered.

The team started to break their circle but Chiharu stopped when he saw Kyo's face. "What's the matter Aizawa?" he asked, making the rest of the team stop to look at Kyo.

"Kinoko High School?" she asked disbelievingly.

"Yeah, why?" Imai asked concerned.

"That was my old school."

"Really? How do they play? Are they good?" Imai asked suddenly perking up.

When Kyo opened her mouth to answer the gymnasium doors swung open and the students and faculty on left benches of the gym turned to look noisily; the opposing team had arrived.

Imai stared at his team's opponent. At first glance he freaked out thinking that the large crowd of at least 36 kids was the team. It was only after staring again that he realized the team was only the 12 uniformed students, the rest appeared to be the team's supporters.

"Wow" he heard Hamaya say next to him "Usually nobody of the opposing team's school shows up for support". Imai silently agreed. Usually when other teams came to their school to play, very few people from their school showed up to give support. Usually it was no more than 6 to 10 people. He turned his head to look at Kyo, who seemed to be concentrated on her own thoughts.

Kyo stared at her old friends surprised. As she searched the crowd her eyes fell upon her best friends Meiko Harisami. She found her, dressed in the basketball uniform and standing in between Kyo's other two friends: Nikki Noruma and her Samantha Narita a.k.a. Sam. Memories of their time together flooded her head. Kyo had known Meiko since the second grade when Kyo had transferred to the posh school on a basketball scholarship. Because she was very aware of how poor she was in comparison to everyone else in her school Kyo turned unusually shy and eventually people though she was a snob instead of a nervous little girl. One day she was sitting alone on the benches near the basketball court when Meiko called out to her. Kyo looked up surprised.

"Hey you, the new girl! You're on the basket ball team right?" Kyo stared and nodded slowly.

"Stop eating then so we can play these to clowns two on two" the small brown-haired girl said, pointing at two boys that Kyo recognized as the best players on the boys team. Her love for basketball overcame all her shyness and Kyo quickly stood up to play with the loudmouthed girl.

The moment that the girl passed her the ball they connected. It was a connection that allowed them to play as if they had been playing together for years; a connection that Kyo never felt with anyone else except when she played with Eniwa -not even with Tsuyaka-senpai. From that day on they were best friends and because of that friendship, Kyo stopped being one of the school's outcasts and turned into one of its most liked girls in second grade. Meiko was even better than Kyo at basketball, and that was saying something. From that day on the girls trained daily together and helped improve each other's game. Meiko taught Kyo a lot of new tricks, including the one that became her signature move: her step ladder dunk. Later in 5th and 6th grade, the girls met Nikki and Sam and even Tsuyaka-senpai. All these girls were good at basketball(especially Tsuyaka) and quickly became good friends.

The day Kyo move away was a sad day for them and Meiko was the only one Kyo had told her father's wacky plan to. But now that the whole school was there and could recognize her,she had to tell them not to blab her secret!

That's pretty much it for now.I know it's short but please tell me what you think of it so far.
