Yay~!
Another chapter again~
I'm doing many chapters as I can 'cause school is coming soon and I'm gonna be busy that time...huhuhu...;_;...
Anyways, here is the new chappie~
Clarifications time~!
To: topsy krets
- If you're talking about her position in Fuuka, she has no position yet since it was just a try out game. But her position in Teiko is a Power Forward and Shooting Guard.
DISCLAIMER: NOT MINE~!
Previously...
Mai pointed their door, "This is our dorm room."
"Really? What a coincidence, that's our room too!"
The four met silence then...
"WHAT!?"
Chapter 3: Try Outs!
"This can't be happening..." Chie whined.
"We're roommates!? God help me!" Nao shouted.
"Isn't it great?" Mai beamed.
"NO!"
'Cheh... This is so annoying...' Natsuki thought. She's getting irritated by them shouting in the hallway.
"I can't take this! I wanna change rooms!" Nao demanded.
"Oi, you're not the only one!" Chie argued.
"Oh, this is going to be a great year~!" Mai said, eyes gleaming.
"Will you shut the fuck up, get over it. I'm gonna be your roommate, that's it." Natsuki said coolly.
"How can you get over it? I don't wanna have a delinquent as a roommate!" Nao argued.
"Yeah, so do I!" Chie said.
"Heh... Do you wanna sleep outside? I can make you do that..." Natsuki said while glaring at the two.
"Look guys, Natsuki's right. Maybe she may be a part of something big right? Only thinking of her as a delinquent is unfair." Mai convinced them.
"Like I said, get over it, if you still haven't, then sleep outside..." Natsuki said as she took out her key and used it on the door and entered the room.
'I just wanna get freaking settled...' She saw her luggage at a bed at the farther left corner of the room.
'This room is so fucking big...'The other three entered the room as Natsuki gets settled. They decided to get settled also and accepted that a delinquent will be their roommate.
After they got settled, Natsuki opened her duffle bag and grabbed a picture of a woman carrying a baby glaring at the camera.
She placed it on the desk beside her bed. The woman was just like her only she has a pale skin, long midnight hair and she was wearing glasses.
She grabbed another frame and placed it on the desk. It was her in middle school.
She was at the center, a blonde boy's arm encircled around her shoulders and a dark blue haired boy ruffling her hair.
A green haired boy beside the blonde was adjusting his glasses with his taped left fingers. A purple head boy stood tall behind Natsuki. A red head below Natsuki was smirking at the camera and a light blue haired boy below Natsuki and the blonde beside the red head was keeping a blank face.
Natsuki grabbed a pair of shorts, sleeveless shirt and other necessities and went to the bathroom.
Chie noticed the picture of the woman. "Is that Natsuki's mom?"
"What? Where?" Nao said while glancing around the room.
"You idiot... There..." Mai pointed at the frame.
"Oh... I guess, they have the same hair and eyes..." Nao agreed. Then a dribbling sound rang in their room.
"What's that?" Chie asked.
"I don't know..." Nao answered.
"Guys, I think it's Natsuki's phone..." Mai said pointing at the light in Natsuki's bag.
"Cool ringtone though..." Chie said nodding.
After Natsuki took off her top, she took off the tape at her hands.
She stared at her hands, 'Midorima-kun's right, you should tape it to take care of it.'
"Who are they?" Nao pointed at the other frame.
"Dunno, seems familiar though... Can't point it out." Chie said.
She took off her clothes and stepped in the shower. She turned the knob as the water washed her body.
After she took a bath, she got changed, taped her fingers and got out of bathroom with a towel on her head,
drying her hair and cheeks flushed from the shower.
"Your mom?" Nao said.
"Yeah..." Natsuki nodded.
"Where is she now?" Chie asked.
"Dead..." Natsuki said.
"Sorry..." Mai said.
"It's okay, she died twelve years ago... I'm over it..." Natsuki shrugged.
"I know what you feel. My younger brother had a bypass operation last year and still on recovery..." Mai said.
"Actually me too, my momma's sick two years ago until now..." Nao said.
"And my dad died six years ago..." Chie said.
"Well, we all have the same situations..." Natsuki smiled slightly.
"What's your mother's name?" Mai asked.
"Saeko Kuga..." Natsuki replied.
"Well, Saeko, you are so hot." Chie said.
"Hey! That's my mom!" Natsuki laughed.
They all laughed. Then the dribbling ringtone rang the room again then made a missed call.
Natsuki grabbed her gray phone and dialed the number that called her. After three rings, it was answered.
"Kise here~! Who's this?"
"It's me, Kise-kun..."
"Natsukicchi!?"
"Who else would it be?"
"Natsukicchi~! I miss you already! Did you already get settled?"
"Yeah, yeah..." Then there's another voice in Kise's line.
"Is that Nat? Gimmie that!"
"What!? Wait for your turn Aominecchi!"
A lot of shuffling was heard and Natsuki waited and waited, then a loud thud was heard. then a voice rang.
"Nat?"
"Hey, Aomine-kun."
"You got settled already to that Fuuka Academy?"
"Yeah I did."
"Hey, don't get into fight that much okay? If they want fight, fight them square."
"Heheh... Yeah sure, I'll do that..."
"You should be resting now, bye Nat!"
"Bye Natsukicchi~!"
Natsuki laughed at her friends' antics. "Okay, bye guys." and ended the call.
"Who are you talking to Natsuki-kun?" Mai asked. "Are they in the pic?" Nao added.
"Yeah, these two." Natsuki said pointing at the boys beside her in the picture.
"Who are they?" Chie asked.
"My brother figures in middle school." Natsuki replied, smiling.
"What is your former school anyway?" Nao asked.
"Teiko" Natsuki said
'Teiko? Then those guys? Could it be that they're the- no... I don't know...' Chie sighed.
'Who are you Natsuki Kuga? How come you know so much about basketball? What are your real connections to those guys in your picture? I don't believe that they're just your brother figures... Who are you...?'
"Chie? Chie!? CHIE!" Natsuki calling her broke her from her thoughts.
"W-what? Yeah?" She asked.
"You okay there? You kinda spaced out there..." Natsuki asked.
"Yeah... I'm fine..." Chie said.
"Let's go to sleep, I'm so sleepy..." Natsuki yawned.
"You're always sleepy, idiot." Nao deadpanned.
While Mai and Nao are getting changed, and Natsuki sleeping already, Chie is thinking of the try outs tomorrow when an idea popped out in her head.
'The Try Outs!'
Morning came to them in a cheerful note. They changed, and was about to exit their room,
"Hey guys wait! I forgot something" Chie said walking to her desk and grabbed her Ipad.
"Why are you taking that?" Natsuki asked.
"You'll see..." Chie smirked. Mai closed and locked their door and went to their class.
When they entered the classroom, they saw their teacher sleeping on the desk with a drool in front of the class.
"Well, look who's more sleepyhead than I am." Natsuki said as the other three snickered. They sat at their regular places.
An idea came to Nao. She picked up a thick book and called the others. "Psst... Hey, I'm gonna throw this book to coach.."
"Yeah, I'll take a video of it!" Chie cheered.
"What!? Hell no, Nao!" Mai scolded her.
"Come on, Mai, it's fun. Ask Natsuki to throw it." Nao pursuaded.
Natsuki didn't pay attention to them for a while to look at their teacher. As she stare at the red head coach,
her pupils dilated and the information she wants to know about her coach appeared.
These information appeared in front of her.
Name: Midori Suguira
Age: 27
Hobbies: Drinking Alchoholic Beverages, Swimming.
Abilities: Alertness
Skills: Extensive/Extreme Reflex, Arm Strength.
"Natsuki? Come on, throw the book." Chie said.
"I don't think that's a good idea to wake her up." Natsuki said, shaking her head.
"Don't tell me your chickening out." Nao said in mock shock.
"I'm not. Coach has Extensive Reflex so throwing a book is no use." Natsuki said while popping a chewing gum in her mouth.
"What the hell is that? Extensive Reflex?" Chie asked.
"To put simply, she has incredible reflex even when she's asleep." Natsuki explained.
"How can you be so sure?" Mai asked.
"Whatever, I'm gonna throw this.." Nao said as she threw the book.
The class watched as the book flew towards their sensei.
The crowd gawked as the teacher caught the book before it hits her head and let the book fall in her hands.
The student looked at their coach's face. She's sleeping! The drool starting to pool at her desk.
"W-what the?" Nao gawked.
"Hell was-" Chie said.
"That!?" Mai added.
Natsuki scoffed and shrugged, "Don't make me say 'I told you so'..."
"Whoa... Thats so cool... How did you know that Natsuki?" Chie asked.
"I just know..." Natsuki said.
"Well, how do you wake her up?" Mai asked.
"Let me..." Natsuki stood up and shouted, "YOUKO-SENSEI!"
Midori bolted up to her seat, "What!? Where!?"
The four snickered. "Why shout that Natsuki?" Nao asked.
"Simple, she has a relationship with Youko-sensei..." Natsuki answered.
"The school doctor!?" Chie exclaimed. Natsuki just nodded.
"Okay, listen up! I'll be giving you the club forms. Put the name of the club you wanted to join,
then go to the club captain for the try outs." Midori distributed the club forms and the students immediately filled the forms.
"So what club did you join guys?" Chie asked.
"Basketball." Nao said.
"Sweet, how about you Mai?" She turned to Mai.
"The Cheerleading club." Mai stated.
"How about you Natsuki?" Chie asked.
"Basketball." Natsuki shrugged.
'Great, now I get to know who you really are... Natsuki...' Chie thought.
The students passed the forms to their teacher. The read some of the forms and motioned for them to leave.
Everybody gathered their things and went to the club of their choice.
'Art, Photography, Journalism, Cheerleading, Basketball, another Basketball, another Baske- huh?'
Midori peered at the form of a certain student.
Natsuki Kuga
Age: 17
Club: Basketball Club
Former school: Teiko Middle School
Former club: Basketball club
Midori's eyes widen at the sudden thought 'Can she be the one?'
Natsuki, Nao and Chie escorted Mai to the Fuuka Quad for the Cheerleading club.
"Bye guys, good luck at the try outs, I'll go to the gym as soon as I can to watch you." Mai cheered.
"Yeah, thanks Mai, good luck on your try out too." Nao said while Chie gave her a thumbs up and Natsuki nodded at her.
"Thanks, now go!" Mai exclaimed. And the three walked their way to the gym.
As they entered the gym, they noticed that the basketball club has moderate amount of students who will join the try outs.
They saw the long brown haired girl from yesterday."Okay listen up! I am the captain of the Basketball club my name is Riku Takano. I will be the one supervising the try outs. Now, to those who isn't wearing training clothes,
I am giving you time to go to your dorms and wear one, preferable basketball shorts. I'm giving you thirty minutes to do that.
If you're not here within thirty minutes, you're out.
Now GO!"
And the students run out of the gym.
Riku sighed, "So many students this year..." The short brown haired girl from yesterday handed her a bottle of water.
"Don't worry sis, I'll help you out." She patted Riku's back.
"Arigato, Risa." Riku smiled.
Nao, Chie and Natsuki entered the gym and saw the sisters. Good thing they all agreed to wear basketball shorts
before they go to class. Natsuki scanned the captain then the sister.
Name: Riku Takano
Age: 18
Height: 5 feet 6 inches
Abilities: Drives
Skills: Infinite Drive
Name: Risa Takano
Age: 18
Height: 5 feet 6 inches
Abilities: Jumpshots
Skills: Everest Jumpshot
They sat at the floor and waited for the others. Nao was texting, Chie was playing Temple Run,
and Natsuki was, well sleeping. Then a voice rang the gym,"I'M BACK!" A black haired girl with golden eyes wearing
black shorts came running in the gym.
Riku nodded at her, "What's your name?"
"Mikoto Minagi captain!" she cheerfully said.
"Okay, sit with those three." Riku pointed at the gang.
"Hai~!" Mikoto nodded and went toward the three.
"Hi! I'm Mikoto! You are?" Mikoto asked.
"Nao" "Chie" "Natsuki" They replied.
Natsuki opened her bag and grabbed a bar of chocolate. Mikoto saw the food and immediately, her mouth watered
and her stomach growled. Natsuki saw this and said, "Want some?" Mikoto nodded. Natsuki broke the bar in half and
gave thee half to Mikoto who ate it greedily. "Whoa.. You can eat..." Natsuki said.
After five minutes, a forest green haired girl wearing a green shirt and red shirt came in calmly. But Natsuki knew
that she came in running, based on the tons of sweat she's having. "Captain!"
Riku turned to her, "Okay, you're the fifth one, name?"
"Akira Okuzaki." She answered.
"Okay." She said, listing Akira's name as she motioned her to sit where the other four are located. Akira obeyed and went
to the direction she was pointed to.
"Okay~ Another one here~!" Chie cheered.
"Hooray~!" Mikoto did a fist pump.
"Yay..." Nao boredly said.
"Fantastic..." Natsuki said sarcastically.
Chie ignored them and turned to Akira, "Akira huh? Name's Chie. The red head's Nao, the black hair's Mikoto and
the blunette's Natsuki. Don't worry, they don't bite."
"Roarrrrr!" Nao and Natsuki both growled at Chie. Chie jumped two feet from the ground.
Mikoto and Akira just laughed. "What the hell!?" Chie exclaimed.
Few minutes later, fifteen students made it within thirty minutes. The more than half
that didn't made it were out in the try outs.
"Okay! Everybody make a groups of five. That will be permanent for club activities and for the ones who are going to play for the team! Then each of you get a ball." Riku instructed. Everyone got a ball and starting to talk to others to make a team.
"Chie-chan let's team up~!" Mikoto said.
"Okay~! Come on guys~!" Chie cheered. Natsuki and Nao just followed.
Mikoto turned to Akira, "Akira-chan~! Join us~!"
"Okay..." Akira followed them.
While waiting for the captain's instructions, Natsuki decided to scan
her teammates. She decided to scan Chie first.

Natsuki nodded in understanding of their skills. 'Maybe I can put them into use sometime.'
"Hey! Do some dribbling drills." Riku instructed. Their team immediately obeyed as they dribbled the ball with different speeds.
Natsuki glanced at the captain. She was shouting at the girls with weak ball handling. "Why the hell did you join here!? Fame!? Sorry to disappoint you but this is not a modeling camp, this is BASKETBALL!" She shouted at the girls with their head down, leaving the gym.
"Oohh... Harsh..." Nao said.
"Yeah.." Natsuki agreed.
"Natsuki-kun, Nao-chan, Chie-chan!" Mai yelled.
"Hey Mai~! Meet Mikoto and Akira!" Chie said while the gang walked towards Mai. Mai stretched out her hand, "Hi, Mai Tokiha"
Akira accepted the hand, "Akira Okuzaki... Nice to meet you.. This is Mikoto." She pointed at the golden eyed girl.
Mai blushed as Mikoto grinned at her, "Hi~! I'm Mikoto~! I like you~!" The others were jaw dropped. 'She's so cute~' Mai thought.
"Ehem.."
Chie looked behind Mai and gasped as she saw her. An angel. An angel with brown hair up to her back with shiny blue eyes.
"Wow..." Everybody looked at her.
"Uh.. Sorry, did I said it that out loud?" Chie asked.
"Yeah." Natsuki said.
"Uh.. Yeah... Guys, this is Aoi Senoh my teammate." Mai explained.
"Hey.." Chie grinned and winked. Aoi blushed.
"You got in?" Nao asked.
"Detective Obvious strikes again!" Natsuki exclaimed. Nao glared at her.
"So you guys in yet?" Mai asked. They shook their heads.
"Hey you!" Riku yelled and walked towards them.
"Yes captain?" Natsuki asked.
"The other groups left and you're the only ones remaining so follow me." Riku said. And the others obeyed.
"Guys, meet your seniors. My sister Risa Takano, Miyu Greer, Shizume Kazano, Midori Kuroi, Kallen
Izuki and Matsuri Kai." Riku pointed at the girls.
Risa looks like Riku only Risa has short hair. Miyu has light blue hair and pale red eyes. 'They have the same hair,
but Kuro-kun's hair is brighter in color.' Natsuki thought. Shizume has gray hair and black eyes. Midori green hair and
pale blue eyes. Kallen has orange hair and dark yellow eyes. Matsuri has jet black hair and green eyes.
"Okay guys, for the try outs, we are going to have a mini game. Try out players versus the club's starter players!
So better go stretch guys." Riku said. Risa, Miyu, Shizume, Kallen and Matsuri are the starter players. Each of them
grabbed a ball and practiced their shots.
'I already scanned the captain's sister..' Natsuki sat down and scanned them.

'Oh well... I'll give them a taste of their own skills later...' Natsuki thought, smirking. Chie is stretching her arms, Nao is stretching
her legs, Akira is meditating and Mikoto is eating. Where did she get that? I don't know.
Natsuki stood up and started to take off the tape of her hands. She wriggled her fingers as her hands met the cold air of the gym.
Chie approached Mai and Aoi and said, "Mai, can you take a video of us playing? Here's my Ipad."
"Okay, sure~!" Mai smiled. Chie thanked Mai and winked at Aoi. Aoi got a full blush.
As Chie went back to her team, she saw Natsuki's hands, "Hey, you took off the tapes. What's the use of that anyway?" Chie asked.
"To protect my hands from being broken." Natsuki replied. Chie laughed.
"So your hands are your secret weapon huh?" Chie said.
"Nah, my brother told me to tape it to take care of it." Natsuki explained. Chie tilted her head to the side.
"Brother? The one from Teiko?" Chie asked.
Natsuki nodded, "The green haired one."
"Oh... the one with taped fingers?" "Yeah.." Natsuki said.
"Okay! Stretching's done! Line up! The game is ten minutes per quarter." Riku said. Everybody said lined up by team.
"Who's the center? In front of me please." Riku instructed.
"You should do it Chie." Nao said and the others nodded.
"Okay." Chie nodded and stood in front of Riku and facing Miyu. Chie slightly widen her eyes.
'S-Shit... She's big..' She gulped.
Miyu looked at her, "Good luck." and focused her eyes on the ball. Chie calmed herself down before focusing her eyes on the ball.
The whistle was blown. The the ball was tossed. Chie and Miyu jumped at the same time to reach the ball. Chie widen her eyes
as she was the first falling to the floor and Miyu is still on the air.
'W-what!? Shit! Too high!' Chie thought as her foot touched the floor. "Defense! Now!" she yelled. The gang ran
backwards and went to defense position.
Miyu caught the ball and passed it to Kallen then went to her mark. She dribbled the ball while
walking, lifting a finger calling a play. "Eyes on the ball guys."
'It's time.' Natsuki smirked.
Kallen's eyes widen when the ball was already gone in her hands. "W-what the?"
Natsuki's teammates was also shocked when they didn't noticed Natsuki stole the ball. They recovered from the shock
and ran to Natsuki. "Nice steal Natsuki!" Chie cheered.
Before she got close to the ring, Kallen guarded her, blocking her way.
"You can't get away with my defense." Kallen said.
Natsuki just smirked. "Really? You sure about that?" She passed the ball to Chie who was behind the 3-point line. Chie caught the ball and took a shot and went to the basket with a swish.
"Yeah! Nice!" Nao cheered.
Kallen grabbed the ball and dribbled through the half court and was about to pass to Risa when
Mikoto intercepted the pass. She was guarded by Shizume.
'Feline Drive. Bounce the ball between the opponent's legs then do a quick drive to
get the ball.' Natsuki thought while running to her position.
And Mikoto did the Feline Drive to Shizume. Shizume was shocked by what Mikoto did. 'Damn it!'
But Mikoto was double teamed by Kallen and Matsuri. 'Oh.. How can I go through?' Then she
saw Natsuki far behind Kallen. 'Natsuki!' She tilted her body to get space to pass and when she got it, she quickly passed the ball to Natsuki.
Natsuki passed the ball in a swatting motion to Akira who caught the ball but was guarded by Risa. She did a right to left crossover and broke the defense. She jumped at the free throw line and did a lay-up.
'What? A lay-up? In the free throw line? It won't get in!' Risa thought. But the ball went in the basket.
'Heheh... The Scoopers...' Natsuki thought.
"Let's take our points back!" Risa yelled.
Nao was about to took a shot but it bounced off the rim and Matsuri jumped and turned on air to get the
ball and turned again when her foot touched the ground. She passed the ball to Shizume who jumped, leaned back and shot the ball
with an ark of 4 feet off the ball went into the ring effortlessly.
'Hmm... Tornado Rebound and Fading Rainbow...' Natsuki thought. She looked at the scoreboard. 25-23 in favor of the club members. 'Five more minutes before the end of the second quarter...'
Akira passed the ball to Natsuki who quickly passed the ball to Nao who was beyond shocked.
'When did I got the ball? Who passed it?' She shook it off and shot the ball. The score is now a tie.
Risa positioned herself behind the 3-point line and took a shot. 'Her arc is so high! I can't do that.' Chie thought. Risa's arc was 6 feet off the basket.
'The Everest Jumpshot...' Natsuki thought.
"Let's get them back!" Nao shouted.
Mikoto passed the ball to Nao who was guarded by Kallen.
'This one's good in defense..' she thought. She could feel the Kallen's aura. 'So big... Like a shockwave... That's why
you won't get through... Her aura serves as a barrier... Not if i can make her fall in her ass... Time to do the Web Spinner...' Nao smirked.
Nao made a lot of crossovers between her legs and another behind her legs, between, and in front, and another between her legs. The
crossovers were so fast that it made an anklebreaker that made Kallen fall.
'Ow! Shit, her crossovers are so fast!' Kallen thought. Nao got through Kallen and before she was guarded, she passed the ball to Natsuki who made a tap pass to Chie. 'Huh? Who passed the ball?' Chie went to the 3-point line and took a shot.
SLAP!
'What the?' Chie was stunned. Miyu blocked the ball in mid-air and Chie didn't saw that happening. 'Please... Somebody take the ball!'
'The Genzou Block... Oh well...' Natsuki thought.
A flash of blue appeared between them and took the ball, passed it to Akira and did a lay-up.
'Natsuki?' Chie thought.
Natsuki smirked, "It's okay Chie... Guys! High paced!" and ran to get to defense.
'A high paced play will be the answer so they won't notice me...' Natsuki thought.
Risa was running fast while dribbling the ball. A few seconds later, the ball was out of her hands. "What!?"
She passed the ball to Chie behind the 3-point line who gripped the ball tightly.
'Time to get serious.' She thought. She held the ball in a shooting position and shot the ball with her hand twisting and her
wrist in a flicking motion, making the ball spin in the air quickly and went to the ring with so much force yet with a swish.
'Nice... The Hurricane shot...' Natsuki thought.
Riku blew the whistle loudly signaling the end of the first half. "Fifteen minutes break!" She yelled.
Both teams went to their respective places panting and sweating.
"Wow...hah...hah...they're good..." Risa said.
"They're awesome... So good for mere freshmens..." Kallen said and Miyu nodded.
Matsuri drank some water and said, "What do you think captain?" They all turned to Riku.
"For me, they're in. What do you think Coach?" Riku asked.
A shadow behind them appeared. The person behind the shadow spoke and said "They're in. They will be a great addition to the team."
"You're right, Midori-sensei..." Shizume said.
"I said call me Coach... You're making me old..." Midori said glaring.
"Still, that bluenette is good..." Riku said.
"Bluenette? She didn't do anything..." Matsuri said.
"Are you blind? We have great defense. But she's the only one who broke through each of you and make those
passes for them to shoot." The group widen their eyes in realization.
"Keep an eye on them.. Especially that bluenette." Risa said.
Natsuki's group are sweating as hell.
"Water... Give Mikoto water!" Mikoto grumbled.
"Here you go cat girl!" Nao threw the water bottle and hit Mikoto's head. "Ow!"
"You guys are awesome!" Mai said.
"Thanks!" Chie grinned and winked at Aoi. As usual, Aoi blushed.
Chie grabbed her Ipad and pressed 'play' and watched the first half. Her eyes widen as she saw Natsuki
passing the ball to them. 'She's the one passing the ball all this time? Like...' she gasped. 'Could it be?' She opened her browser and
searched for 'Kiseki no Sedai'.
While waiting, she watched the whole video... 'She's like the Phantom...' she thought. She went back
to the browser and pressed the Kiseki no Sedai/ Generation of Miracles Official Website. She saw the picture of the members of the said group.
Her eyes widen as she realized that the picture of the group are the same boys in Natsuki's picture in their room. Though she saw someone with a short midnight blue hair just like Natsuki with the same style as the blonde one in the picture.
She then saw a link with a picture of the midnight haired person that says: The Hidden Miracle!. She pressed that link and read the bold font.
The Hidden Miracle's Story.
The HM (Hidden Miracle) is a part of GoM (Generation of Miracles) whose is so mysterious. At the first
game of the GoM, Teiko (Teiko is the school where the GoM studies) made us believe that HM is a boy, which
is a big shock to us, but still, it didn't stop us to idolize her.
But even though she's popular in Tokyo, she is mysterious. So mysterious that we don't know her name
and her abilities as a GoM member. She has blue hair but not like Aomine Daiki. Hers is midnight blue and she
has unreadable emerald eyes. Here's other information about HM:
Name: Unknown, Hidden Miracle, The Lightning.
Age: 16
Abilities: Unknown
Skills: Analytical Vision?, Skill Mimicry?
The skills have question marks because we are not sure about it and we're sorry for that.
She is called Hidden Miracle since her identity was hidden by Teiko. Sometimes, she is called
The Lightning but we don't know what's the relevance of that name to her.
We don't know that much about her because she's not a starter player of Teiko. She's a substitute and a mysterious ace player.
Chie's eyes widen in realization. 'I-I remember now! It really is her!' she mentally gawked at Natsuki who was breathing deeply.
'T-The Hidden Miracle is my roommate? THE HIDDEN MIRACLE IS MY ROOMMATE!' Chie recalled when
someone called Natsuki on the phone. 'So the one who called her is... K-Kise Ryouta and Aomine Daiki!?' she could feel dizziness coming
to her. 'So the skill mimicry is true... She mimiced Kuroko Tetsuya! The Phantom!' Her thoughts were cut off by Riku's whistle.
"Okay! Let's start with a throw in! Starters!" Riku said.
'They're smart enough to know that I'm the one who makes the passes... Maybe I should change my strategy...' Natsuki thought.
Shizume was the one to start the throw in. She passed the ball to Kallen who sped up but was guarded by Natsuki.
'What? She's being aggressive now!' Kallen thought as she did a drive but was shocked to see Natsuki in front of her.
'Shit! This is not good...' She was about to charge when she felt a barrier in Natsuki's aura. Her eyes widened as she
realized she know what Natsuki's doing.
'I-It's my move! The Shockwave! How can she do that! I trained hard for that move and she
learned it that easily!?' Kallen thought. She saw Miyu running past her so she have no choice but to
pass it to Miyu. 'Even I can't get through my move...' She thought.
Natsuki left Kallen and followed Miyu. Miyu took a shot and waited for the ball to go in the basket.
SLAP!
Miyu's eyes widened as she saw Natsuki slapped the ball in mid-air. Nao caught the ball and passed to Mikoto and she
passed to Chie. 'She mimiced Miyu's move that she used earlier..' she thought as she made a shot and went in the basket.
'Damn.. a four point difference...' Risa thought. She dribbled the ball and sped up when Natsuki stole the ball from her. She ran
up to Natsuki and her jaw dropped as Natsuki did a shot she knew so well.
'I-Is that the Everest Jumpshot!? And her arc is higher than mine! My limit is 6 feet but hers is 7 feet!' Risa thought.
Both teams were shocked about that shot.
'Natsuki is really something..' Nao thought.
Matsuri ran towards the basket and took a shot but missed. A flash of blue was seen and a spinning rebound. Matsuri was beyond shocked.
'T-Tornado Rebound!? Compared to mine, she's faster! What is she!?' Matsuri mentally exclaimed. Natsuki passed it to
Akira who took a shot and went in.
After a few minutes, the score is 39-34 in favor of Try Out players.
"Natsuki!" Akira passed the ball to Natsuki who was guarded by Kallen. Natsuki smirked and did a Web Spinner that
made Kallen fall on her ass. Nao was shocked by what Natsuki did.
'Is that my Web Spinner?' Nao thought. 'Cool...' she added and shrugged.
After Shizume took a shot, Mikoto caught the ball and passed it to Natsuki. Natsuki caught the ball and sped up to
the half court but was guarded by Shizume.
"You won't get away.." she said.
Natsuki just smirked, "We'll see about that..." She bounced the ball between Shizume's legs and did a drive past her to get the ball.
'The Feline Drive? Sugoi~! Natsuki-kun is so cool~!' Mikoto thought.
Natsuki ran towards the basket and jumped up high, leaned back and shot the ball 7 feet off the basket while smirking.
'Never underestimate...' She thought.
Shizume was stunned. 'W-Was that my Fading Rainbow!? It's so high!' she thought.
Akira was guarded by Risa but she can't get through. 'What should I do?' She saw Natsuki running behind Risa so she
passed the ball to the midnight haired player.
Natsuki was behind the free throw line when she caught the ball and Kallen was about to steal the ball when she did a lay-up.
Akira's eyes widened. "S-Scoopers!?" she thought as the ball went in the basket.
'Heheh... This is just like at Teiko. When they still didn't know my abilities.' Natsuki thought.
The starters became aggressive as the game went on in fourth quarter.
"Let's get back on this one!" Kallen yelled.
"Yeah!" Risa cheered.
'Aren't they too optimistic? How lovely...' Natsuki smirked.
They were in man-to-man defense with Kallen dribbling the ball. Akira broke the defense and stole the ball. She passed
it to Nao then Nao passed it to Chie. The score is 67-66 in favor of the starters.
Five seconds left.
Chie jumped high and shot the ball high but Risa jumped to block the ball.
4...
"I won't let you do that!" Risa yelled. Her nail touched the ball.
3...
'Damn it! It's gonna miss!' Chie thought. 'Were gonna lose!' she added. The ball bounced off the rim.
2...
In a speed of light, a hand grabbed the ball and dunked it in the basket.
1...
Everybody left their jaws hanging on the floor court. Even the ones on the benches were left
stunned. Everyone having the same thought in mind.
'A PUTBACK SLAM!?'
Riku shook off the shock and blew the whistle.
"Game Over!" she yelled.
Everyone looked up to see who dunked the ball.
'Natsuki!?'
Natsuki was still hanging. One hand gripping the rim as breathe heavily. She
let go of the rim and dropped effortlessly.
"Okay! All of you are in! Welcome to Fuuka Falcons! You will get your things,
uniforms, jackets, all you need for the club tomorrow. You can use the showers." Riku said.
"Yeah~!" All of them cheered. Natsuki just smiled and walked towards her bag.
Natsuki was about to grab her bag when,"Natsuki-kun!" She turned and saw Chie and the others walking towards her.
"How can you do those?" Nao said.
"Yeah! You are amazing back there!" Akira agreed. Mikoto nodded.
"How can you copy those moves Natsuki?" Chie asked.
"That was nothing..." Natsuki shrugged as she walked to the clubs locker room.
Chie, being Chie followed her and insisted, "I know you are the Hidden Miracle."
That stopped Natsuki in her tracks. She turned to Chie who was smirking and said, "How did you know? Nobody here
knows about the GoM. Honestly, I'm impressed."
"My dad was the Chief Editor of Basketball Monthly in Tokyo. His article was about the GoM." Chie said while taking off her
clothes, preparing for a bath.
"Oh I see..." Natsuki shrugged and took off her sleeveless shirt revealing her abs. It was masculine but it didn't lose her
feminine curves. She was wearing a black sports bra. Her arms are toned, her biceps and triceps can be easily seen. Masculine, yet so
feminine and sexy. Her whole body is tanned with no tan marks. Her basketball shorts are loose that it show off her hip bones. She has
a necklace with a wolf tooth in it. She grabbed her towel and other necessities and went to the showers. She opened the
shower and let the water run through her body.
After taking a bath, she got changed and went out of the gym only to collide with someone.
"Ara~"
Natsuki was stunned by the voice. 'That voice... Reminds me of someone...' she thought. She shook it off
and helped the person she collided into. "Gomen." she said.
"Ara, its okay... No worries..." the person said. 'Ara, that husky voice...'
'Kyoto-ben? That really remind me of someone...' Natsuki thought. Chesnut hair
cascaded her shoulders. Their heads rose up to meet each other.
Crimson met Emeralds.
"Baka-chan?"
"Ara, Kawaii-chan?"
