Chapter one: Kagami Taiga

"Ne, photographer-san can I go now?" a girl with long curvy blonde hair ask as she smiled a heartwarming smile, "Hmm, we have taken all the pictures we need, I think you can go now, Kise-chan," the photographer smiled and pat her soft hair; she smiled, "Well, thank you for your hard work, and see you next time!" she laughed and disappeared through the entrance.

Kise wandered through a park, as she feared of being seen by anyone or any stalkers, but there was no way they would want to wake up at 6 am, right? "K.I.S.E shala. lala…" she humbled while she made a small jump and kicked the leaves near her, "Ah, I have to change before I go," she murmured and went to the nearest restroom. After a few minutes she came out again but this time as a boy with short hair (wig), a big gray sweatshirt, a pair of white basketball shorts, and sports shoes. "Oh crap, I have to hurry!" she cursed at the wind and jogged to the other side of the park.

"KISE, YOU ARE LATE!" a short-haired man with gray eyes shouted and kicked Kise from behind, of course he didn't know Kise was a she, "OUCH! Kasamatsu-senpai, I had my reasons!" she cried and rubbed the place where she was hit, "I don't care! The damn tournament is going to start soon! Get yourself up, and let's go," he said and took his belongings then headed towards a bus stop. "But you were the one who kicked me," she whined and followed her senpai.

Other than modeling Kise had another job as a waiter at the "ikemen-café" where only boys were allowed to work there but her uncle who owned the café understood her situation with stalkers and let her worked there as a boy. Kasamatsu Yukio was one of her senpais who helped her through the rough times and sometimes made it rougher, but regardless she respected him as her senpai. After times went by she came to know the other senpais was into basketball as she did, so she regularly played one or two rounds with them before they go home. And funny enough, she often went to a street-basketball tournament with them.

"Kasamatsu-senpai, do you think there will be any strong opponents at the tournament today?" she asked and followed Kasamatsu inside the bus that just parked, "I do not know, Kise. But that it's not important. The point is to have fun, remember that," he said and sat on the empty seat by the window, 'I wonder if that is true', she thought as she narrow her eyes and made a bored look, "Oi, I know what you're thinking, Kise! Just because you're the strongest and always win, it does not means you're invincible," he whispered and hit her from the back of her head; she puffed her cheeks cutely, "Itte! I think you've hit me enough for today," she murmured with teary eyes, "I didn't even thought about stopping hitting you, because your level of dumbness is infinite," he sighed and face-palmed.

Once they arrived at their destination they hurried and went searching for their teammates, "Ah! There! I found them, senpai! At the register tent! Let's go!" she shouted and forcefully took Kasamatsu's arm dragging him all the way from the entrance to the register tent, "Everyone, sorry we are late," she let out a breath of relieved as she whipped sweat away from her forehead, "It was completely your fault, idiot!" he shouted and hit her again but this time he hit her with enough impact to sent her several steps back and bumped into someone, she turned around and faced the guy she accidently hit, 'H-He is huge!' she thought and grinned an awkward grin, "Sorry, a-are you alright?" she said and bowed her head a little, "N-No, I'm cool," the guy said and scratched the back of his head. 'He has red hairs… they are as red as fire, and his eyes are as fiercely as a tiger… he has a good build too…' she thought and tilted her head with a smile; the guy evaded her gaze, "W-What? It's there something funny on my face?" he stuttered and scratched his cheek, "No! I was just wondering if you are a basketball player?" she said as her lips lifted up to a smile, but before she got any reply from the guy Kasamatsu interrupted them, "Oi, Kise! Our match is starting, let's go!" he shouted and walked away with the others, "Y-Yes!" she answered and lifted her bag from the ground. Sadly, when she turned her head back to look the guy she met before; he was long gone; 'he would be definitely fun to go against!' she thought with a smile adorned on her face and ran after her friends.

"Arrrrh, I'm dying! I'm too tired to eat anything after four matches. Kise, feed me," Moriyama laid himself down on the open grass plane with his mouth wide open; waited for Kise to feed him. Noon had arrived and the remaining players began to eat their lunches on the open grass field; on Kise's team, they were sitting under a big tree and unpacked their bentos, "Eh, Why? Moriyama-senpai can't do it yourself?" she said and removed her bento's cover and took attention from everyone in the group, "Wow, Kise, didyoumadethisbyyourself?" Hayakawa screamed and almost drooled over her food, "No, my uncle did. He makes the most delicious bento ever! Hayakawa-senpai, don't drool on my food, and speak slower!" she shouted and pushed the others away to make a room enough for her to sit, "Jesus Christ," she sighed, "Here, Moriyama-senpai, annn…" she said and fished up a sausage-shaped octopus with a fork and feed the boy. "Hmm, it's good," the boy said with smile plastered on his face.

Aside from her uncle who knew about Kise was a girl was Moriyama Yoshitaka. After some month after Kise started to work there, he accidently saw her almost naked. He decided not to tell anyone to protect her but in exchange she had to arrange a date with her fellow models for him.

"Both of you act like you guys are newly weds…" Kobori Kouji sighed and took a bide of his sandwich, "isn't it okay to take care one of your friends?" Kise asked as she tilted her head she saw the guy she bumped into earlier among the crowd near the food stalls, "Well, no. But you guys- O-Oi, where are you going!" Kobori shouted after the running boy (girl); he sighed again, "Huh, you can't never keep up with him," he said and face-palmed. "Nah, don't worry. Let him be," Moriyama waved it away and yawned; then he immediately fell asleep.

"Eh, how can it be? I just saw him a moment ago…" she said and scratched her cheek, "was it just an illusion? Well, I better get back then," she sighed and went back to her senpai, "Ah, you've come back, what were you doing over there Kise?" Nakamura asked and passed her a can of cola, "Huh, nothing," she breathed out in depression. As she drank her cola she didn't notice Kasamatsu laid a small glance on her and looked away a split second after she stopped drinking.

"Wake up, Moriyama! It's our turn to play!" Kasamatsu shouted and kicked the sleeping boy, "Ouch, I'm already awake!" he replied and slowly stood up. "I'm somehow heated up because this is the last match, they must be some strong players," Kise giggled with a wide smile on her face, "I'm glad you're heated up," Nakamura smiled and walked toward the court. After they warmed up and stretched their body; their opponent finally stepped on court, 'N-No way! He is here!' Kise thought with a surprised face, before she went over to him, he came over himself, "Yo! Sorry about earlier, my name is Kagami Taiga, let's have a nice match!" he grinned and held out his right hand to a handshake, "O-Oh, my name is Kise Ryouta… S-Sure," she said and returned him his handshake.

For the second time in her life; she felt overwhelming unique talent player was going against her since him, plus she was not someone mature enough to play basketball logically; she went against him with all she got, but still lost. What actually was losing she was not sure of that her self, she feared to lose the most and fought against it because of her fear, but why now? Was God testing her? Or what? Though it was a good feeling to have someone you can admire because of his or her talent, but it was still frustrated for her, it was too soon and too suddenly.

"I-I lost?" she whispered as the tears slowly rolled down on her beautiful face, "Don't cry, you idiot! It's not like the world is going under," Kasamatsu said and kicked her a little forward; the blonde stopped crying and turned her face back to him, "B-But it's still frustrating senpai!" she said and whipped away her tears, "Why don't you add the word 'revenge' to your dictionary?" he said and softly pat her on her shoulder, "That's right, Kise. We will earned our revenge…" Moriyama said and gave her a water bottle, "Thank you, senpai. Anyway see you…" she smiled as she took her bag then walked away.

Kise went back to the park she passed through this morning in silent; she didn't even bother to change her clothes back to a girl. After a long silent walk, she finally sat down on a lonely bench. She was all alone with briefing wind and singing birds; she leaned back and sighed but then something cold suddenly touch her cheek, she screamed a girly scream and almost hit the one who did the prank on her, "W-Wait, don't punch me!" the prank culprit growled; she turned around, "K-Kagami-kun, I'm sorry!" she apologized and pulled her fist back, "No, it's nothing," he said as he sat on the bench beside her and gave her a juice, "What are you doing here, Kagami-kun?" she asked and drank the juice, "Well, I live around here. Then I happen to see you sulking," he whispered and drank all his cola, "and pffffff, what's with that girly scream?" he laughed and threw his can away, "WELL, IT'S WAS COMPLETELY YOUR FAULT!" She yelled as her face flushed in red, "but it was damn hilarious!" he grinned and put his hand in his jacket's pockets; the blonde pouted but still red, "anyway, thanks for a good match," she murmured and looked up at the sky: soon the sun will set she have to hurry to get back home, "likewise, Kise," he replied and took out his phone, "Here, type your number, so we can play one on one anytime, and get your so-called revenge," the redhead smiled and handed the blonde his phone; she puffed her cheeks, "you know that you are a meany right?" she said as they exchange their numbers; she suddenly stood up and took her bag, the redhead looked at her confused, "I have to get home now, see you next time, Kagamicchi!" she waved and ran away, "Ah, see you… KAGAMICCHI?!" he shouted, "I add –cchi to the name of anyone I respected, I wont lose next time!" she giggled and disappeared, "I DON'T WANT THAT!" he roared as his lips turned up into a smile, "I won't lose next time, huh?" he mumbled and walked back to his home, "Well, I will wait for it…" he smiled.
