Chapter 2

(Furukawa's P.O.V)

"Oi, pay attention girls!" said our coach, Hayashi Ai, yelling at Hora.

"Okay okay! I'm listening!" Hora said, paying attention and listening, not wanting to get hit in the head by a magazine.

"Now, you girls have a practice match against Imahawa. The principal expects you to win, because you all are the Teikou girls basketball club." coach said.

"Ne, coach. Doesn't the Imahawa girls b-bal (Basketball) club play nasty when their in matches?" I asked raising my hand.

Coach looked at me and smiled evilly, "Yes, they do. The whole team plays nastily and does anything to win, so I'm doubling you girls training menu."

"Coach Hiyashi, I see no point in that. I can already tell that we'll win if we didn't even trained. So, how about we just train when we're facing stronger opponents?" Matsuoka said.

I looked at Matsuoka and looked back at coach, coach sometimes went along with Nakagawa's or her plans.

"Hm... That would be fine. Although, I still want you guys to train a little bit." she said.

"Very well, tomorrow's match we'll be ready. In the future, we can train harder." Nakagawa said.

"Alright, you girls may go train now." said coach, dismissing us from the bench.


(Kaneko's P.O.V)

As coach told us to go train, the six of us headed towards the court. Of course, the GoM and first stringers were there too. Aomine noticed me and smiled at me,

"Hey Kaneko!" he said happily.

"Hello." I replied.

Ever since I met him, he became all happy around me. Like, whenever I see him with the GoM, he wouldn't put on that whole heartedly smile on his face. Now, he's smiling like that.

"Maybe I should asked Hora or Nakagawa what it is." I thought.

I grabbed a basketball and went with Matsuoka and Nakagawa to a court.

"Same training menu like we did yesterday." Matsuoka said.

"Alright! Then Kaneko and Nakagawa are on my team." said Hora.


~The Next Day~ (Akamine's P.O.V)

Today was our practice match against Imahawa. I was also surprised to see the GoM here too.

"What are you all doing here?" Kaneko asked.

"Watching you guys play, we want to see you in action at basketball!" Kise replied.

"There's no need for that, Matsuoka-chan and Nakagawa-chan already know that we'll win." Hora said to him.

"How can you be so sure?" Midorima asked.

His question made Matsuoka and Nakagawa smile, "We just can." they both said together.

"Are. It's the Teikou girls b-ball club!" said a voice.

Judging by the voice, I can already tell I don't like the owner of the voice too.

Furukawa turned around and greeted the people who walked up to us,

"Well, if it isn't the Imahawa girls b-ball club too."

(Matsuoka's P.O.V)

As coach tells us to change into our basketball uniforms, she told me that I would be benched. She thought I wasn't needed when the time will come. So there I was, sitting on the bench with the GoM. Until Kise asked me a question,

"Matsuoka-cchi, why are you on the bench? I heard from Akamine-cchi that your strong. So why aren't you on the court?" he asked.

"Because our coach thinks Imahawa is just to easy to defeat against. But I know Imahawa plays dirty too, I already read that some of their practice matches with other schools, half of the players did many things. Quit basketball or get injured. Those girls can be so mean sometimes." I said.

"Your right about Imahawa." Kuroko said.

Suddenly, a whistle was heard and the referee told the teams playing to get ready. Imahawa and Teikou then lined up and thanked for the practice match, then went in their formation.

"Oh? Aren't you a member of the Teikou girls basketball club? Why are you being benched?" a girl said, walking past me then stopped when she noticed me.

"For no reason." I replied, looking at her.

"I see. You must be weak then, the coach benching you like that." she said, a sick smile on her face.

I narrowed my eyes at her and replied,

"Don't underestimate me. I know lots about you too, the weakest player of Imahawa too. Your one to talk when you know your team will lose."

"What did you say?" she said, clearly angry.

Her arm was raised up and I already knew she wanted to slap my face so I stopped her. I got up and hold her hand tightly and said something to her.

"Listen here you. You don't want to make me angry, now stop what you were going to do earlier and sit with your team." I said to her only, in a commanding voice.

I knew she heard me and when I sat down, she was still there, only her face was shocked.

"What did you say to her?" Akashi asked.

I turned to him with a emotionless face,

"Something to scare her and her teams, I guess." I replied.


(Hora's P.O.V) ~Second Quarter~ (A/N: So I didn't want to type out the 1st quarter, so I time skip to the next quarter, where I'd say the exciting part come I guess? o.O)

The game had already started and Imahawa and us girls made our move. Kaneko had the ball and the score was 44-43, with Teikou in the lead. I must say though, Imahawa was strong too, although, we're not even serious yet. And why do I have this sickening feeling my stomach? Like something horrible is going to happen? Kaneko then passed the ball to me and I caught it, I turned around to see Imahawa's point guard. I was currently under their hoop so I thought why not shoot it in fast like Akamine's ability? And I did which the point guard had steal the ball from me and passed it to their power forward. I didn't realized what happened because in one second I was standing, next I was on the floor and the point guard who took the ball from me had stepped on my right hand hard, which was the hand I used to shoot only. And it hurt like crazy, which made me scream.

"Hora/-san!" said Nakagawa and the rest.

I then was held up and was told to sit on the bench, coach then came to me with a first aid kit and looked at my hand. It was hurt but that point guard's foot was heavy, now that I think about it... I looked back at the point guard and saw her smiling sickly.

"It was one of their tricks, and a mean one too." Matsuoka said, coming up to me, looking at Imahawa too.

"Are you alright, Hora-cchi?" asked Kise, who had went to me and hugged me hard.

"I'm fine," I said to him with a smile.

"Teikou, member change!" said someone and I looked to see Matsuoka in her uniform already.

"I didn't think it was so soon." I said to my team.

"You didn't realize it okay. We'll be careful on the court too, Hora." Akamine said.


(Matsuoka's P.O.V)

"Oh, your the one who scared Ayumi." said a girl from the other team.

"Her? She was the one who was about to hit me," I said to her.

"I don't know why you were benched earlier, but you must be weak for your coach to bench you." the girl said.

"Nice to know of what you think of me. Now, be prepared. What you just experienced on the court earlier in the first quarter, we weren't even serious yet." I said to them.

"Nani? You guys weren't even serious yet?" the girl said back.

The girl next to her also said something,

"Who cares? We're strong and I bet we can beat Teikou." she said.
