Chapter 3
~Tetsumi's POV~
It has been a couple of months since I arrived at Kaijou. I became their manager and a regular. But I can only play for a short time.
It has been 8 months since I last talked to the others.
It has been months since I grew depressed.
Leading me to hate the very thing I love. I grew envy of others that could play all they want without being timed.
I grew to hate basketball, I grew to hate myself.
If saw me now, what would they think?
Maybe thinking, that I am being a hypocrite?
I lectured them before to not hate basketball, but I practically hate it now.
Those were like dreams to me now. A time that I can no longer return too. A time were there was no trouble.
When I first met the coach, he was ecstatic. To have me, a member of the Generation of Miracles, play for his team.
But he knew of my condition and pampered me.
The other players were not really happy with having a girl in their team.
They could accept me as manager but not a regular.
When I finally have enough, I taught them a lesson that will be never forgotten. They grew to know that they shouldn't underestimate me.
I trained them so that they could beat my ex-teammates.
Knowing Sei, he would plan something, something that would lead me to tell them the reason why I left.
Through my training, Kasamatsu-senpai and the others grew strong.
It even led to that; I didn't have to play in official or non-official matches.
I can only play if they were in deep trouble.
My father had been doing everything he can to find the cure for me, always telling me, to not lose hope.
My Mother monitored my trainings, so that I will not overdo it.
They were so worried that they even told the coach and my teammates about my condition.
But I ordered them, my teammates and coach to secrecy. Ever since knowing that, they became overprotective of me.
I never told them, that I had lost hope of being normal again, of being cured.
I lost hope in ever believing that I could play basketball again without being timed.
I can never face them again. Especially not him.
We can't go back to that time anymore. Not anymore.

~Aomine's POV~
It had been 8 months since I last heard of her.
I went to Too High along with Satsuki.
I have been training vigorously, for the upcoming confrontation with Tetsu's school. Knowing her, she will train them as she has, trained us.
Though, we still didn't know what school she attended, but Satsuki is best on Intel gathering and we believe that she will be able to find her.
Ever since that time, I had always been feeling that something was wrong.
That the reason of her leaving and claiming that she hates basketball wasn't too trivial as that.
It was something more.
I don't know how to explain it.
But I am afraid that I will never see her again.
If only I had told her that I love her, maybe then she would have told me and never left.
The others denied that I was at fault.
Assuring me, that it was everyone's fault because they also felt, they had failed her.
Suddenly I was snapped out of my musing by Satsuki, barging in the rooftop.
"Mine-kun, I have good news. You need to call Aka-kun and tell him to put it on speaker, so Ma-kun can hear. I'll call my boyfriend and tell him to do the same so that Midorin can hear." Informed Satsuki.
I did as I was told, thinking that this has to do with her.
'Daiki what is it?' Akashi answered
"Satsuki has news, so can you put your phone on speaker, so Murasakibara can hear this as well." I informed him.
'Alright, it's on. Atsushi is here with me as well.' He replied
'What is it, Minechin' asked Murasakibara
"Wait for a little while, Satsuki is just contacting Kise and Midorima." I replied
"Alright, can you hear me Ryou-kun, Midorin" I heard Satsuki said to her phone
'Yea, loud and clear' Kise replied
'What is this about?' asked Midorima
"Well, when I was gathering information about our next opponent, Seirin. From what I gathered, they had a practice match with a school called Kaijou High, a school known for its sports. Eventually, I heard that the Seirin team totally lost. As in, Kaijou's score was tripled or more than Seirin. They completely destroyed them. I was curious of the Kaijou team and so I went to scout them. When I arrived at Kaijou's gym, I saw someone, someone we thought that we will have trouble seeing again." Informed Satsuki
'Well, Seirin is just a no name school.' stated Midorima
'what was the score?' asked Kise
"Oh, it was 120 - 15 in Kaijou's favour." Replied Satsuki
'Then, I presume that the someone you saw, was Tetsumi.' Stated Akashi
When I heard Tetsu's name. My heart skipped a beat.
"She's in Kaijou?" I asked hoping that she will say yes.
"Yes, Though I left before she saw me, I was afraid that she might run away if I had stayed." She replied solemnly.
'No, what you did was right. Good work Satsuki. Is there anything more?' asked Akashi
'Was Himechin alright?' asked Murasakibara
"I have. Yes, she was fine. But I can't help feel that something had happened and that she is completely different from the Tetsu-chan that we knew in Middle school." Revealed Satsuki
'What did you get, besides knowing that she's in Kaijou?' asked Midorima
"Well, I asked a non-regular about her, it looks like that she is a regular and their Manager. But during their official and non-official matches, she hasn't played any single one of them. They don't know why, but the Regulars and coach are quite protective of her." Stated Satsuki
'She hasn't played in any of the matches? Not even one?' asked Kise in panic
"None." She confirmed
'Does that mean that she really, really hates basketball' whimpered Murasakibara
"I don't know." Replied Satsuki while looking at me, to see my reaction, on the news of Tetsu, not playing basketball.
'I couldn't believe it. Tetsu loves basketball like I do. She would even play, if she had a fever.' I thought holding my anger inside.
'No, she may have her reason for not playing yet. She may have not played, due her team being strong and winning matches without her help. She might only play if they are in a great pinch.' replied Akashi
Believing his words, i relaxed immediately, though not only me, I bet that the others are too.
"There's more." Stated Satsuki
"What?" I asked
"Once Too defeats Seirin. Our next match for the Finals will be Yosen and once we win this match we will play against Rakuzan and when I investigated on who will be Shutoku's opponents, for the Finals. Since Kaijou had already defeated Yosen they will be competing against Shutoku and whoever wins this match will be competing against Too and whoever wins here, will be going against Rakuzan. " revealed Satsuki
'It's an all-out match against us then. Does she know, what school we are?' asked Midorima.
"I don't know. But she might suspect Rakuzan, since it belongs to Aka-kun's family." Replied Satsuki
'I see, then remember our oath. All of you. We will bring her back to us.' Ordered Akashi and hang up
'Midorimachi and I will convince Hime-chi to open up. But if we can't, then it's up to you Aomine-chi. The two of you were closer than any of us. So you might be able to convince her to open up.' Stated Kise
'Oh and Aomine. If Shutoku lost to Kaijou. Then confess to her before you and she compete. She might reveal it to you. She has a soft spot for you, as you have a soft spot for her.' Stated Midorima and hang up
"Mine-kun. What will you do? I personally agree with Midorin" replied Satsuki
I sighed and didn't answer her.
But I won't let this chance go. I was a coward but not anymore. I won't let her leave me again. Never again.
