"Seirin Private High School"

She muttered the name of the school where she will be studying for her first year in high school. She felt nice since she was the one who chose this school after all. Her father wanted her to go to famous schools. But after a couple of persuasions and debates, she won.

It was the first day of class. She had already registered to the Boy's Basketball Club since there's no Girl's Basketball club present. She was thankful that the girl in the Basketball Club Booth accepted her form even if she was a girl. She sighed in relief as she went inside her room and sat at a window side table that overlooks the track-and-field arena and the soccer field. She almost jumped when she heard a voice talking to her.

"Is this seat taken?" the voice asked.

"Who are you? Where are you? Why are you talking to me?" Yukia seemed horrified since she thought she was already hearing voices. "Are you here to take my life already?"

"Kuroko Tetsuya. Right beside you. I need a chair. I'm not Death". The person said, making Yukia turn her head to the side and shrieked when a boy with teal hair stared at her, making the people around her look at her as if she was a mental patient on the leash. It made her blush in embarrassment.

"How long have you been in there?" she asked, fear still evident in her voice.

"A couple of minutes. Is this seat taken?" Kuroko asked again,

"No, I don't think so. By the way, I'm Yukia Shirotame." She held her hand out, expecting a handshake.

"Kuroko Tetsuya. Sorry for freaking you out." He said as he held her hand and performed a handshake.

"That's okay. What club did you choose?"

"The Basketball Club."

"Oh! Then we're clubmates then."

As she finished her statement, a tall guy with red hair and eyes went inside the room. He looked like some sort of delinquent forced to go to school. He went to Yukia's direction with a scowl on his face, making her shiver. He stopped on his tracks pointed at the desk in front of Yukia. They stared at each other for a moment before he spoke. "Is this seat taken?"

"Huh?" was all Yukia could say.

"Is. This. Seat. Taken."

"Oh. No not yet."

The redhead sat in front of her without even saying thank you. Yukia just sighed. 'Do I look like I'm the "Is this seat taken" help desk?' she thought.

After class, she went directly to the gym only to find it empty. She took a glance at her watch to see that it's still early. She went directly to the changing room and spotted a girl with short brown hair sitting on the bench in that room. "Excuse me but, um, who are you?" she asked meekly.

"Oh there you are." The girl said as she wrote something on her clipboard and looked at Yukia, repeating the process for a couple of seconds. "Welcome to the basketball club. I'm Aida Riko."

"I'm Yukia Shirotame. Are you a player too?"

"Oh, no I'm not. I'm the coach." Yukia looked slightly shocked at this but got over it quickly. "You look pretty athletic. Your chest might be the problem, though."

Yukia blushed at the comment. Being a E-Cup athlete is not helping at all but attract perverts. "W-well I-I have bandages to keep them from hindering me in the games."

"Good. But make sure not to tighten them so much. It's dangerous."

"Thank you."

"I'll wait for you outside. Feel at home" Riko smiled as she closed the door gently, leaving the white-haired girl alone.

"That was weird."

She went out of the changing room wearing a white shirt with a size enough to show her curves but not completely hug her skin. She also had black basketball shorts and black shoes with neon blue trimmings and laces. She looked around and was surprised to see that there were already people practicing and warming up in the gym. And they were all guys. Afraid to attract so much attention, she walked slowly to where Riko is, who was currently talking with someone in eyeglasses. She tugged Riko's sleeve gently, half-hiding from everyone else in the gym. Riko turned to her and suddenly grinned, which gave Yukia the creeps. "She's the one I was talking about, Hyuga." Riko said asshe wrapped her arm around Yukia's shoulder. "Come on. I'm not doing the introduction. I'll be going to attend some matters. Make sure you have already acquainted with each other, okay?" Riko put down her clipboard and exited the gym, leaving Yukia and the guys behind.

"Um.." Yukia looked at her clubmates. "I'm Yukia Shirotame. Nice meeting you" she bowed respectfullyas she finished her introduction. "May I know the names of my clubmates?"

Her question made the guys blush but Yukia was oblivious of the fact. The guy with eyeglasses extended his hand toward her for a handshake. "I'm Hyuga Junpei. Jersey #4. My position is shooting guard." Yukia held his hand and performed a handshake. "Jersey #4? So you're the captain."

"Um, yes."

A guy who looks like a cat went to her. "I'm Koganei Shinji. Jack of All trades"

'Jack of All Trades? What's that supposed to mean?' Yukia thought.

"This guy here is Mitobe Rinnosuke. He can't speak so I'm introducing him to you instead." Koganei said as he stuck his thumb to the guy behind him.

Another guy went to her. "I'm Shun Izuki. I'm the Point Guard of the team. Nice meeting you."

Everyone had fun acquainting with each other for the past 30 minutes. The introduction finished in time when the coach returned.

"Are you done with your mini get-together ceremony? Well, then let's start. I am Riko Aida, your coach."

The guys stared in awe with mouths agape as the girl in front of them said the last 2 words. Having a female coach was rare, after all.

"With that, let's start with the first part. Take off you shirts!"

Yukia's eyes widened in surprise. 'EEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH?'

Riko seemed to notice Yukia's distress and gave out a sigh."As for you Shirotame, you're exempted."

Yukia sighed in relief as she heard her coach. But she was somewhat aware of the disappointment in her clubmates. It was natural because they were guys.

The coach examined the bodies of the members of the basketball team while making remarks about their abilities. Yukia was impressed to see someone who has the ability to scan the body just by looking at it.

Interestingly, the redhead guy who almost scared her this morning also went to the basketball club. His name was Kagami Taiga, which fits his personality very well.

She almost jumped when she heard her coach scream. Curious of what happened, she turned her head to see what was happening with their manager.

"Looks like she already met Kuroko" she muttered. She watched amused as the coach talked to Kuroko who apparently appeared out of nowhere this made her giggle softly, earning a look from Kagami who was right beside her. "Tch."

"Okay then. Let's have a mini-game between the freshmen and the seniors." Riko said and blew her whistle. 'Let's see what these rookies have.'

'He's the Phantom Sixth Man!' Yukia and Riko almost thought simultaneously after seeing the play-style of Kuroko. But it wasn't the only one that concerned Riko.

Kagami, Yukia and Kuroko formed a deadly combination. Kagami's dunks, Kuroko's passes and Yukia's exceptional speed and 3-point shots defeated the seniors in their mini-game.

'This year's freshmen are ridiculous!' Hyuga silently thought.
