Chapter 2

"Killer!"

"You killed her"

"You should die as well"

Reika opened her eyes; as the sound of the alarm clock resonated in her room. Full of sweat from her ragged dream, she sat and wipes some tears that had rolled.
"It's been a while since I have dreamed about It." she said to herself.
Not a good way to start the morning. She got up and checked her face in the comfort room. She was a mess; her eyes were puffy from crying that she doesn't even know when it started. Her bed hair was worst.

Definitely, not a good morning.
She dressed and went to school without breakfast.

While walking she suddenly heard her name being called. She looked back just to see Momoi running.

"Good morning Rei-chan!" Momoi greeted cheerfully.

"Good morning." Reika greeted back softly.

Momoi touched Reika's forehead.
" you are not sick, so why are you so languid? You okay?" she asked.

Reika didn't utter a single word. She just shook her head in disapproval. While they were standing in the school gate Aomine arrived.

"Ah, Dai-chan, good morning." greeted Momoi.

"Morning" Aomine greeted between yawns.

"Mou, Dai-chan. What time did you sleep again?" Momoi scolded.

But Aomine didn't answered but instead he looked at Reika's direction. Then he greeted the girl. Reika; astound that he greeted her just bowed her head in a form of silent greeting to him.

They went to school together and classes started and ended in a breeze. As soon as they heard the lunch bell they all decided to pass their application paper to their respective clubs. They first went to the journalism club to accompany Reika. It went easily since they only need her to write an article that should be passed three days from now. After that they headed towards the gym where the basketball clubs and other varsity members were having their practice.
As soon as Aomine entered the gym Reika felt a sudden chill in her body. That she is much more certain that she is not the only one who felt it. Everyone stopped playing and directed their attention to the tanned man who was for some reason smirking at them. A black haired man who was wearing glasses approached us.
He smiled. More like smirked.
" what can I do for you? "He asked.
Momoi stepped forward.
" we would like to apply. "
" oh, but we don't accept girl players. This is the male basketball." He clarified.
" oh no, I'm not going to play. He will." she pointed Aomine.
" I'm here to apply as a manager if it is open." She added.

"I'm Imayoshi Shoichi, the captain of the basketball team" he introduced.
" hmm, manager slot is open. May I see the application forms?" he added.

Momoi turned their papers in and once he read the forms his face suddenly shifted into a surprise.
"So the two of you are from Teiko... From that legendary team... The generation of miracles... "He said.

Momoi can only smile and nod.

"Well then how about a game then?"
Aomine looked more pleased than whatever his expression might be.

Before they started the captain suddenly looked at Reika.

"How about you young miss?"

"Ah, no I'm from the journalism club. Just here to observe…"She defended.

"Ahh, is that so."

The coach stood up and grabbed the attention of the players. Soon the game started. Momoi sat beside the coach. And Reika sat beside her

Momoi whispered

"You'll be amazed when you saw him play. It is quite fascinating. "

The game began.

At first it was just a normal game, there were players who kept on guarding their opponents while eyeing the player who has the ball. It was normal. They run back and forth keeping in mind to steel the ball and guard their marks. Then suddenly in a blink of an eye Aomine suddenly escaped from his opponent and now seizing the ball into his hands, he ran across the court and without any difficulty he made the first shot. Then everything was fast like the whirlwind the squeaking of the shoes, the dribbling of the ball and shouts were the sounds that can be heard throughout the whole gym. Reika who is seating beside Momoi couldn't keep her eyes away from the cobalt blue haired player who seems to be crushing his opponents bit by bit. She was simply mesmerized by it.

"Could it be he is doing magic?" these words suddenly escaped from her mouth. Which caught Momoi's attention then she suddenly let a few giggles escaped before she answered.

"No, silly. Dai-chan is not doing any magic. It is just that he loves playing basketball more than anything."

Reika couldn't help but to just nod in agreement.

She fished out her phone and set it to sports setting, and then she started clicking shots of the game. The game ended with the first years winning. They were about to clean the mess in the gym when suddenly a first year missed his shot and the ball went to Reika and Momoi's direction. Aomine was so far to save them. But to their surprise Reika out of instinct suddenly stopped the ball with one hand.

"AH! I'M SO SORRY!" one of the first years apologized.

"No, it's alright. No one got hurt" was the only thing that Reika could mention.

She just hid her left hand on her back; little did she know that both her friends noticed what she had done. After all those things finally the last period ended. She hurriedly walked out the door but was stopped by Momoi and Aomine.

"Rei-chan, we should go to the nurse's office to let them check your hand." Momoi started.

Reika just looked at her and smiled.

"There is nothing wrong with my hand, don't worry about it Momoi-san. See?" Reika waved her hand as if there was nothing really matters. But then suddenly Aomine held her left hand and squeezed it gently. There she finally gave in to the piercing pain that she was hiding. Her legs gave out.

"There is no point hiding an injury like that." Aomine pointed at her. Then without any words she was carried by Aomine like she was just a load of sack. She was carried effortlessly. Then they make way to the nurse's office leaving Momoi astonished.

While walking, Reika kept on hitting Aomine to let her down because it was too embarrassing to be seen by other people that she is being carried by a guy like a sack of rice. But she suddenly stopped when he suddenly whispered.

"Why would you hide something like that? Don't waste your talent by injuring yourself like that. You are really good in playing it will be a waste if you got hurt, but nice stopping though. You never seize to amaze me."

Reika just slump her head to the guy's shoulders because of embarrassment and another feeling rose, the feeling of envy. She knows how much Aomine loves basketball and so does she, but for her loving the sport is not allowable anymore…

They arrived at the nurse's office and she was taken in for check-up. There wasn't anything serious. The nurse just told her that she should be fine. After that Momoi entered and congratulate her for not having any serious injury. Aomine bid them farewell and headed to the gym where his new team mates are practicing.

Momoi began while they were walking:

"Rei-chan, this is the first time Dai-chan ever entertained a classmate." Momoi said

"well it is a good sign that he found someone that he can get close to." She added.

Momoi tugs Reika's arm as they went to watch the practice match. Reika just let a few amount of carbon to leave her system before they enter. The practice match started and without further ado Reika also pulls out her camera to watch the players do their tasks. Just like always she was taken by how they play.

While capturing those moments she can't help but to feel a little envious. She felt again those times where everyone included herself gets this hyped in practice matches, those times where she feels that she was free.

The last thing that Reika thought was

"How come he can make such wonderful magic? I hope I too can create it again."
