"Morning.."

The voice beside him made Akashi looked up and found the golden eyed girl was greeting him with a smile, yeah, the girl who made chaos during the practice yesterday.

"Aah, morning.." Akashi answered.

"What's with that cold tone Akashi you bastard!" the guy sitting in front of Akashi turned around. "When an angle greeted you with that bright smile, you should be happy that you didn't die out of hapiness!"

"Shut up.." Akashi mumbled.

"Yappari! You're still mad about last night?" Kitagawa seated herself and whispered to the red headed guy beside her. "Gommenn.."

"It's not like I'm mad.." Akashi answered. And please don't act so close, they're starting to get attention.

"But, Seijuurou, you.." Kitagawa quickly closed her mouth with her hand. "Ah.. again.."

Akashi stared at her hopelessly. Well, yesterday's "Seijuurou" incident had been made clear, it's because Kitagawa had lived in America since she was 6 and she only returned to Japan during summer vacation and she spent it in her grandmother's house, so she was used to using first names. In fact all the members were then called by their first names.

"It's already a habit, no need to force yourself.." Akashi sighed.

"But, Japanese culture is really complicated, even when you're calling someone.." Kitagawa sighed. "And, you should also call me Yuuka, I'm actually not used being called Kitagawa.."

Akashi didn't give a reply as the teacher came in.

The regulars were stepping into the practice court when they heard the sound of someone playing. It was the new transferred student, Kitagawa Yuuka. She also noticed their presence so she stopped dribbling.

"Sorry, are you gonna use this room?" Yuuka asked, wiping her sweat.

"What are you doing?' Aomine asked.

"Practicing, the girl's club ask me to show them my plays before accepting me in, so I figured I should practice for tomorrow.." Yuuka answered. "Ne, ne.. Is it alright for me to watch you guys? I won't be a bother, I'll be sitting there and you'll never know I'm here.." Yuuka pleaded. "I'll be like Tetsuya!"

"Kitagawa-sann.." Kuroko sighed.

"Well.." Aomine turned to Akashi. "She's just watching, so.."

"Fine.." Akashi sighed.

"Yatta! Maybe I can steal one or two moves from you guys!" Yuuka jumped in excitement.

"Hmph, there's no way a girl can keep up with our moves -nanodayo.." Midorima said.

"Ne, ne Shintarou! Is that today's oha asa lucky item?!" Yuuka's eyes caught the cactus plant Midorima was carrying.

"Ehh, Yuuka-chin knows that show too?" Murasakibara asked.

"Uhn! I always follows the lucky color though, I match the color with my nail polish or pencil case.. Uwah, Shintaro, despite of your personality, you believe in those?" Yuuka answered.

"I believe in fate and I also believe that... *fastforwarding* -nanodayo"

"I don't really get it but, okay.." Yuuka smiled awkwardly. "Good luck on the practice guys!" Yuuka cheered and ran to the corner to have the best spot.

Well, as expected of Kiseki no sedai, the moves were really amazing, they had their own different styles but that what made them a strong team, knowing their own style they could fill in each other's weaknesses. Her choice to enroll in Teiko was really the best decision ever! The practice finished before she realized it, well, she had been enjoying herself so time flies for her, but not for the members, especially Kuroko.

"Ne, Seijuurou, is the lock to this room must be returned now?" Yuuka asked.

"Well, I was given the spare keys so I don't have to return it.." Akashi answered. "Why?"

"Can I borrow it? I really wanna play basketball right now.." Yuuka pleaded. "I just learned some moves from you guys, and I really want to practice them!"

"Hmph, it's impossible, even though it looks simple, it can't be done just by looking -nanodayo.." Midorima fixed his glasses.

Yuuka smirked, she suddenly grabbed the ball in Midorima's hand and did a perfect shoot of Midorima's. "Well, in this case, I'm pretty confident in basketball.. -nanodayo" which froze Midorima completely.

And it brought laughter for the others hearing Yuuka's version of "nanodayo". "Ahahaha, Yuuka-chin's really good at mimicking Mido-chin.."

"Gahh, that was amazing, how did you that by simply watching?!" Aomine asked after he finished laughing. Well, Aomine's question was actually what the members wanted to ask too, including Akashi.

"I've been like this since I was a child, I can do things by simply watching it." Yuuka answered.

Yuuka didn't just copy Midorima's moves, she adjusted the moves according to her height and power. She also made a change of pace, different from Midorima's but that was Midorima's style she's using. Midorima's shoot may looked easy, but it needed accuracy and power control between the jump and the shoot. Usually one couldn't copy it just by watching it.

"But, Daiki! Your play was amazing! I've never seen anybody played like you!" Yuuka's eyes were bright like a kid given a candy. "I've found another rival!"

"Oi, don't get ahead of yourself! It's too soon for you to be my rival!" Aomine ruffled Yuuka's hair.

"You'll be taking that back once you face me.." Yuuka smirked.

"I think it's worth to try, Aomine.." Akashi added.

"See, Seijuurou thinks so too!"

"But Kitagawa-san, you can't play with a skirt.." Kuroko interrupted.

"Mine-chin will peek at Yuuka-chin's panties.." Murasakibara added.

"Idiot! Murasakibara, what the hell!" Aomine blushed. "I'm only interested with big boobs!"

"Ehhh, you're the lowest, AHO-mine kun.." Yuuka stared at him with a disgusted face.

"Shut up!"

Akashi smiled, well, another discovery to be found. Too bad she's a girl, she got the talent.

"So, that guy is Kise?" the coach asked.

"Yes, I believe he has the talent to replace Haizaki, in fact I think he's better than Haizaki.." Akashi answered.

"Well, according to Momoi's data, he is indeed good." the coach nodded in agreement. "And since you've also approved it, I'd like to see it myself."

"Fujimi, what about the girls' club?" the coach turned to a light brown curly haired girl.

"Well, we've also gotten ourselves a new talent.." the girl answered. "I think she'll be our new ace.."

"Well, this year's students are really something.." the coach smiled.
