Chapter 2


~Tetsumi's POV~


He told me I had not change, that I was predictable.

All my passes, he countered it.

It was expected, since he was my partner in Middle school.

Seirin was already losing, the score was 80 – 64.

The 3rd quarter ended and we went back to our bench, before I left Aomine told me that my basketball can never win and he was bored, if only he knew that I am holding back.

Kagami was already benched. He can no longer play for the last quarter.

What I didn't expect was a slap on my face, when I arrived at the bench.

Everyone heard it.

Especially the Too team.

I saw that it was my mother, she looked angry. It was to be expected after all.

I did lie to her.

I looked at my teammates, they looked shock.

I hold my cheek that was slapped by my mother.

I saw that she was crying.

She was allowed in the court because she was a member of the basketball board of committee.

"Mom…" I said but was cut off…

"Tetchan, why did you lie to me? You promised me, that you won't play anymore. I had to find out from my younger brother, that you were playing against his school." she cried

"Uncle?" I asked confused

My mother pointed towards the Too team, I looked at where she was pointing and ignored the stares of Aomine and the others and saw that it really was my Uncle Katsunori.

"Why? You know why we forbade you from playing again. Do you want to leave me and your father? Why Tetchan?" she cried harder and I saw that Uncle Katsu came and comforted his sister.

"Now, Megumi, listen to Tetchan, she must have a valid reason to play again." he stated.

I sighed and looked at my Mom.

My facial structure, I had inherited from her. But my teal hair and eyes, was from my father.

I made her sit down on the bench, that was thankfully unoccupied by my teammates.

"Mom, look at me" I said holding her face.

She looked at me.

"I promise you, that this will be my last game. I only wanted to play against him, one last time. I promise I will tell you and Dad later in private. But please, promise me, that no matter what I do out there, you won't pull me out. Please let me play for this last quarter. This is the only thing I want to finish. No matter what I have to do. I have to finish this game, for him, please understand." I pleaded to her

She hugged me and nodded.

I sighed and looked at my team. They all didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry you had to see that." I apologized

"No, it's alright. But will this be your last game?" Asked the captain hesitantly

"Yes, it is. It is a matter of my Health, senpai. But I want to play this game with all of you one last time. I promise you we will win." I said determined.

"Your health?" asked Izuki-senpai

I nodded.

They understood that I can't go into detail and left it at that.

The whistle blew telling us to get back on the court.

I left the bench with one last hug from my mother and I took off my wrist bands.

When I dropped it at the floor, it gave a loud sound.

My teammates were shocked that I was wearing weights the whole time.

~Aomine's POV~


When coach returned, I asked what had happened.

"This is a family matter, you don't have to worry. The game is about to start." Stated the coach and the whistle blew telling us to get on the court.

We were all looking at Tetsu; he was giving her mother a hug and took off his wrist bands, when he dropped it, it made a loud sound.

'Weights?' I thought surprised

"No way, he was wearing those weights all the time?" stated a shocked Imayoshi

"But, but Tetsu-kun was wearing that ever since in Middle school, he never took it off." Stuttered Momoi

The team looked shocked hearing that.

"Aomine, you will be guarding no. 11. All of you be prepared." coach stated with a frown

When we entered the court, I immediately went to him.

"Let us have fun, Aomine-kun. Since this will be my last." He stated once I was near him

"Last? What do you mean last?" I asked confused on what he meant

"After this I won't be playing anymore." He clarified

I was shocked but I didn't get to say anything back as the game started.

The ball was passed immediately to him and he suddenly vanished in front of me.

"What the?" I stated shock and saw him shoot a 3 pointer.

But…

Tetsu couldn't shoot, he hadn't had that before.

Was he hiding this?

"You looked shocked, Aomine-kun." He asked me

"You couldn't shoot, Tetsu. Were you hiding this? From all of us?" I asked angrily

"I won't deny it. But I have a really good reason to hide everything I could do." he replied and left to steal the ball from Imayoshi, but I blocked him.

Throughout the game, everything he did was different. It was like I don't know him anymore.

"Did you know, Aomine-kun? That a shadow can swallow everything in darkness." He stated

"Wha…" I was cut off by a shout from Wakamatsu.

"Wha, he disappeared." he shouted

I saw that the No. 5 he was guarding vanished.

I knew that Tetsu was the one doing this.

"What is this?" I asked

"I called this the Misdirection Overflow. Now, Aomine-kun are you still bored?" he asked me

"No, but everything will be over." I stated and went into the ZONE

There was only 3 minutes left, our score was tied 108 – 108.

I was surprised that he can go to zone, too.

I don't know why, but I forgot the score, I only want to play one on one with Tetsu, without realizing that I was having fun again.

We were stopped by the whistle, telling us that the game had already ended.

We looked at the score board and saw that we lost by 1 point.

"I've… lost" I stated in a daze.

I couldn't believe I had lost.

I felt someone touch my face.

I looked down to see, that it was Tetsu.

"Aomine-kun." He replied softly

"Please don't look sad." He added

"Maybe, this is for the best. That I had lost." I replied

"Aomine-kun, everything has just started for you again. There is still the Winter cup, even if I won't play against you anymore, I want to see it. I want to see you again, having fun playing basketball. I'm happy that I was able to bring you back, do you remember? When I told you that a player will come one day, to play against you." he told me softly with such a gentle face that I love.

I remember, he told me that when we were in Middle school. The last time where we were together before I started ignored him.

I was the one who ignored him and yet, he brought me back to how I was before.

"Who would have thought that, that player will be you, Tetsu?" I replied smiling.

He smiled and left me to go back to him team.

I watched him go.

Will I see him again?
