Present Day

Kana POV (Cont.)

Once in my room, I go to sit on my bed to continue to towel dry my hair. 'I should go use the hair dryer for my hair. Ryo-nii may get upset at me if I go to bed with my hair wet again.' As I thought this to myself I get up and walk over to my closet and get out my hair dryer. Walking over to an outlet that's next to my desk with a big oval mirror attached to it, plugging it in and I start to dry my hair. A few minutes after I started to dry my hair I hear a knock on my door.

"My Honey, my I come in?" Ryoma called through from the other side of the door. Turning off my hair dryer, I get up and walk over to the door to open it to let Ryoma in.

"Ryo-nii, is my hair dryer disturbing you?" I asked timidly.

"Not at all my dear, I was just wondering if I could dry your hair and brush it like I used too." He said and gently stroked my hair. Nodding happily I went to sit down in a chair in front of my desk and hand him my brush and hair dryer. "Wonderful! I've missed doing this." He turned on the hair dryer and started to gently run my brush through my hair. "Your hair has gotten long, Kana. It's past your back now." He looked at me through the mirror.

"I may get it cut. If I'm able to play basketball with Seirin, it may get in the way." I looked at him through the mirror and his face went pale. "I wont get it cut short. I like my hair long. Just a couple of inches. Then I'll put my hair up in a ponytail during games." Ryoma heaves a great sigh of relief.

"That's good to hear I love your long hair." He smiled and turned off the hair dryer as my hair was dry. He gently continued to run the brush through my long hair. I closed my eyes and my mind started to wonder what he and mother and father were talking about over the phone. "Am I putting you to sleep, Honey?" I smiled sweetly, with my eyes still closed.

"No. I was just enjoying you brushing my hair." I said and opened my eyes to meet his sad gaze in the mirror. "Ryo-nii, what's wrong?"

He forced a smile to cover the sad expression on his face. "Okaa-san and Oto-san called while you were in the bath. They had received word that you changed schools, they were not happy about it. They suggested that they take you back so they know that you are at least getting the proper education, and keeping up with your training." He bent down and rested his head on my shoulder, then wrapped his arms around me from behind. I could feel him shaking slightly but he continued to talk. "Oto-san said there was no one in this world that could make you happy, and that you should live with them so they can prevent more failures from you. I don't want you to go back Kana. I want you to stay with me, so I can protect you." I gently started to run my hand against the back of his head.

"Ryo-nii, you know you can't listen to Oto-san. I am plenty happy staying here with you and Yuzu-nii. I don't ever remember being happy when we stayed with Okaa-san and Oto-san. I don't want to go back to live with them. I want to stay with you and Yuzu. Although, I do miss Toma and Tomo. I would really like to see them here if possible. I don't want to go back to that house." I felt his hold around me tighten and slowly loosen to let me go. He spun me around in my chair and picked me up and held me close to him.

"I'm so happy to hear you say that." He said and slowly put me back down on the floor beaming happily. "Don't stay up to late, my sweet Kana. You have a big day tomorrow." He said as he slowly walked over to my door. He looked at me one last time before heading out of my room and shutting the door behind him. I softly sigh to myself and walk over to my to the all next to my door and turn off the light to my room then make my way over to my bed falling asleep after a few minutes.

Opening my eyes looking into blackness above me. My body felt heavy, there was a great pressure on my neck, it was hard to breath, something covered my mouth. I tried to call out but no sound escaped my parted lips. Then a great force slammed into my body and a great pain followed shooting through my whole body making me arch my back under the pressure. 'What is going on?! Ryo-nii help me! I'm scared.' After pleading in my mind for my brother to save me I hear a deep malicious laugh followed with a deep voice and a pair of bright blue eyes peering down at me.

"No one is going to want you, now you have been tainted." The black figure with the bright blue eyes swung something down to my chest. A sharp paint shot out from the center of my chest then I realized I was just stabbed with a rather large knife. Suddenly I feel something hard and warm being wrapped around my body and pulled out from under the black figure and pulled up into a sitting position.

"...an. Kana...you...me." Hearing a soft voice sounding very worried almost in tears. "Kana...up...please." I can barely hear this gentle voice. I can feel warm drops of liquid slid down my cheek and neck. "Kana wake up please. I'm here." The warm drops continue to fall on my cheek only quicker. 'I know this voice... Ryo-nii. Please don't cry Ryo-nii.' I feel my body slightly shaking.

"Wake up my sweet Kana. I'm here now."

My eyes slowly open to my dimly lit room. I was having a bad dream. I gently touch Ryomas arm and slowly move my eyes too look at him. My body still felt heavy although it was sore now, like my whole body had one big cramp. Opening my mouth I try to speak, like in my dream, no sound comes out.

"Shh, my sweet it's okay Ryo-nii is here now." He gently continues to stroke my head as if he was about to say goodbye to a dying family member. Now noticing my brother was shaking and his cheeks stained with tears, my cheek was damp from those tears. Sitting up slowly I turn to face him and wrap my arms around him.

"I'm sorry to have woken you. I was having a bad dream. I'm alright now." Said softly, my voice sounded a bit horse. He wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"Care to tell me about your dream? You haven't had a bad dream for a long time now." I slightly pulled away from him and looked at his face. He had a pained expression as he looked back at me. I nodded slightly and sat to tell him about my dream.

"In my dream I had woke up in a pitch black room from a great pressure on my body and my neck. I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe. All of a sudden I feel this great impact followed by a great pain. I tried to cry out but the pressure on my neck and something covering my mouth prevented me from making a sound no matter how hard I tried to call out for Ryo-nii to save me." As I watch Ryoma as I'm telling him my dream I see him clutch his pants so tightly his knuckles turned a ghostly white. I slowly continued to tell him about my dream. "Then I see this black figure with bright blue eyes above me. He said "No one is going to want you, now that you have been tainted." Then he swings his arm down and I feel a sharp pain in the middle of my chest, then I realized I was stabbed by a large knife." Since I told him what the black figure said his eyes widened and his face when pale as if he seen a ghost. He gently pulled me too him shaking more than before.

"I'm so sorry you had a bad dream my honey. I wish there was some way I could help you, not have that horrible dream anymore." I look at my brother shocked. 'Wait he said anymore?' I thought but before I could open my mouth to question him about it, he forces a smile to his face and stands up getting off my bed. "I'll cook breakfast today Kana, you take it easy and rest up a bit more." With that being said he left my room not looking back at me. I try to think back to the other times I've had that dream but my head throbbed painfully. So I decided to forget about it and just get up and start getting ready for my big day today.


The time arrived to head to the studio where the photo shoot was being held. Kana wore a white button up blouse, and a black wavy skirt. Her long dark purple hair was braided loosely, yet cutely and draped over her shoulder. The final touch was black high heeled shoes. After Ryoma parks the car and gets out quickly and runs over to the passenger door and opens the door for her. He smiles to her as she stands up with her purple athletics bag. She brought it with her so she could change after the shoot was over. Just so she can play a bit of basket ball. 'Heh, little does she know I keep my athletics bag in the truck. I may just play some b-ball with her later.' Ryoma thought as he watched the bag slightly move with her hips as she walked. He pulled out his phone and thumbed out a quick text to the agent. Letting the agent know they had arrived. As they made it to the door it swung open quickly and someone came running out, knocking Kana down. A hand grabbed her arm and she was pulled into a chest of a blonde haired, golden eyes…bishounen*. (*Beautiful/pretty boy.)

Kana looked up into the golden eyes above her. He looked down into her heterochromatic eyes. Her right eye would put the bluest Sapphire to shame. Her left eye, purple, which would put a Verbena* to shame. (*A type of purple flower.) A blush begins to cover bother their cheeks as they realize how close they are. They pull away quickly and the blonde holds out a hand.

"Hello. Sorry about running into you. They said you where here and that you were a beautiful girl. I was excited to meet you. So I wanted to be the first to introduce myself." He paused for a few seconds as Kana gently took a hold of his hand. "I'm Kise Ryouta." Kana smiled sweetly as she recognized the name. He was a member of the Generation of Miracles.

"It's quite alright. I feel honored to hear you say that Kise-kun. My name is Mizuki Kana. Please take care of me." Kana bowed slightly "This here is my eldest brother, Mizuki Ryoma. He claimed himself to be my manager as well." Kana looked over at Ryoma with his usual business smile. Kana knew he was using his business smile to mask his lust to kill Kise. Ryoma still stuck out his hand to shake the teens hand. Kise shook his hand and opened the door and gestured them inside.

"It's nice to meet you both." He clapped his hands together happily. "Okay! Let's head inside! So you can get acquainted with the staff." Kana and Ryoma nodded and followed the cheerful bishounen. 'They sure were right! This girl is VERY beautiful. Aomine-cchi will be so jealous. Oh I know I'll take a picture of her and send it to him. Well her… assets should please him as well.' Kise thought as he giggled to himself.

Once to the room of the studio the staff crowded the three. Kana smiling happily, bowed her head.

"Hello I am Mizuki Kana. This is my first time as a model. Please take care of me." She straightened up and flashed everyone a gorgeous dazzling smile. All the men in the room including Kise and Ryoma blush and think simultaneously 'She's gorgeous…' Then the one in charge steps up and begins to speak.

"Alright we will start out doing individual pictures, then we will do couple shots of the two of you. Take them to their dressing rooms and lets get started." The girls gather around Kana and happily grab her arms and pull her to her dressing room. Once there they sit Kana down in a chair in front of a large mirror that stretched across the length of the wall, with a table that stretched across the wall underneath it. A girl pulled back my bangs with a head band and moved my loose braid off my shoulder, so she could start on my make-up. 'Her hair is so long and pretty. I'm so jealous for the fact I'm not her hair stylist.' Another girl walked over with an outfit.

"You will look lovely in this dress. Kise-kun really likes this type of dress too. He actually picked it out for you. Shoes and accessories as well." She held out a purple-blue spring sundress with light blue straps, top and bottom hem, with light purple flowers design, lavender shoes, and light blue rose accessories. "He has wonderful taste." Kana smiled and nodded in agreement.


Kise POV

It was quite lively in my dressing room from the boys talking about Kana. I was already dressed in the outfit that was picked out. I was wearing a white button up shirt, a black vest, pants and dress shoes.

"Did you see her eyes?" I was listening to two of the guys talking.

"Yeah, blue and purple. I just about got lost in them when she smiled."

"When I went to go greet her I bumped into her and pulled her to. I almost knocked her over. When she looked up at me and I got a better look into her eyes. I think I fell in love with those eyes. Her blushing face was adorable as well." I looked at the two through the mirror in front of me.

"OH! Kise-kun! Your fan girls would murder that poor girl if they heard you say that." One of them said as he was styling my hair. I just laughed. I started to think back to when I caught her by the arm. 'Her arm was pretty solid. Almost like she works out or plays sports… or something. Maybe I'll ask her when this is done. I may do some research on her while they are working.' I thought and pulled out my smart phone and looked her up. My eyes grow wide to find out she comes from a great sports family. It talked about how she won many tournaments in different martial arts, even in dancing and gymnastics. Even says she's super smart. She plays a few instruments, she sings. 'This girl is perfect. Wait…what's this?' I continued to read about her. It says at a young age her eldest brother gained full custody and rights over her. 'I wonder why.'

"Kise-kun, you are all done. They are also ready for you." Someone said as they knocked on the door to my dressing room. I stood up and walked out the door.

"Alright. What is Kana doing? Have they done her pictures yet?" I asked as I followed after the person that come and got me.

"No not yet. She's almost done. They are doing her hair. Her hair won't hold any curls. They all are having fun though. I seen her smiling, laughing so I took a quick picture. She's…I can't put it into words how beautiful she looked being so happy." He pulled out his phone and showed the picture he took of her. Immediately my cheeks started to burn with a furious blush. I was speechless.

"You were right. I can't put into words either. You should send it to me." He nodded and sent it through an email I use for the studio staff members.

While they were started taking pictures of me I hear someone call out: Entering Kana. I look up and see her in the things I picked out for her. It seems they decided to do something different to her hair. Her hair is up in a braid but they made it look like a rose on the side of her head. Also a long lovely curl on both sides of her head. My cheeks heat up in another blush. Just then I see a flash of light. 'Damn they took a picture of me blushing.' I look over to the camera man he is holding in laughter and waving his hand saying not to worry, they won't use that picture. I heave a sigh of relief.

After a few more pictures were taken of me then it was time to switch. She walked past me and smiled sweetly. I went to a chair to sit on stand-by. I continued to read up on Kana. After her brother got her, she continued to win tournaments. I got excited as I read the words she played many sports since she was young, but her favorite sport is basket ball. 'Hell yeah! I'll ask her to play basket ball with me sometime. Oh I'll probably ask her for her email or number. Oh yeah! I'll send that picture to Aomine-cchi.' Texting Aomine-cchi.

Kise: Hey Aomine-cchi! I want to show you something!

Aomine: What is it Kise?

I attached the picture of her to the text message.

Kise: This girl. I'm doing a shoot with her today. Someone in the staff said she will be a new Idol.

Aomine: Big breasts! Nice smile! Gorgeous! You should introduce me to her at some point!

Kise: One of these days, I will! She plays basket ball too. I did some research on her. Look for her in magazines. Oh you should also see her eyes! I'll see if I can get a picture.

Aomine: Nice! Maybe I can show her some moves! What about her eyes?

I had gotten up and walked over to her so I could get a better picture of her eyes. Her beautiful heterochromatic eyes. After taking the picture I look at it. She was lying down on the couch that was there as a prop. On her stomach. Her head was slightly tilted and her head was elegantly propped up on her hand. I attached the picture to a text message.

Kise: I'm going to ask her if she wants to play after the shoot. She has heterochromatic eyes. They are beautiful colors.

Aomine: Damn look at that. You sure she doesn't have a split personality like Akashi?

Kise: I'm pretty sure she was born like that. I'll ask her, when I get the chance.

Aomine: Awesome. What's her name?

As I gotten Aomine-cchi text message someone called my name.

"Kise-kun we are ready for you!" I look up to the voice calling me and nod.

"Alright." Turning back to my phone I quickly thumb out a quick text to Aomine-cchi.

Kise: Mizuki Kana. They are calling me now to join the shoot with her. Talk to you later, Aomine-cchi.

Putting my phone in my bag I walk over to where Kana is. They were touching up her make-up and fixing her hair. She looked over at me and her eyes narrowed slightly as if she was smiling with her eyes. Ba-bump! 'That look was so cute! I really have to exchange numbers with her. I'll ask her after this is done.' After they finished with the touch ups on Kana the photographer began talking to us.

"Okay you two. Act like a couple, and have fun with." He said putting the camera on the tripod. I hold out my hand and look to Kana with a smile on my face. She slowly takes my hand with a light blush and a shy smile. As we continued the shoot we took many different poses as couples. Every so often we would hear "hold that pose" or we would hear the photographer would tell us to move closer or look at each other if the pose seemed to miss something. Then finally we were done. As we started to walk towards our dressing rooms I call to Kana.

"Hey, Kana." She turned around and smiled.

"Yes, Kise-kun?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to exchange numbers?"

"Oh. Uhm…" She looked around where we were then nodded. "Sure. My phone is in my bag in my dressing room though. I can put my number in your phone if you'd like? While my manager isn't around." She said and started looking around again.

"Sure!" I unlocked my phone and brought up the new contact screen and handed it to her. "Your manager is your eldest brother right?" Kana nodded as she put in her number under her name, then she handed my phone back to me.

"My brother is very protective." She took another look around. "Where is he any ways?" She tapped someone on the shoulder as someone was passing her. "Have you seen my manager?"

"OH! I'm sorry Mizuki-chan. I forgot to let you know that he had to leave for urgent business at work." Kana nodded and bowed in gratitude as the person walked away, after being called.

"Looks like our one-on-one match won't happen today." She looked down slightly disappointed. She just shrugged then looked at me. "Well, good work today, Kise-kun. Send me a text when you are able too." She said and bowed and walked into her dressing room. Once into my dressing room I send Kana a text letting her know it was me. 'She looked sad. I wonder if there's anything I can do to cheer her up…'


Kana walked out of her dressing room wearing a pair of purple and black Jordan's, gray t-shirt and gray basket ball shirt. She also wore her weighted sweat bands, elastic knee and elbow braces, along with the weighted straps around her ankles. Her athletics bag hung on her shoulder by the strap. She walked to the door and seen Kise at the corner of her eye.

"Oh, Kise-kun. I thought you already left?" She turned to look at the blonde bishounen.

"I waited for you. Are you going to play basket ball? Mind if I join?" He asked as he looked at her attire.

"I don't mind. I was just going to practice some of my shots though." She looked up at Kise and smiled.

"Awesome! Do you mind if I invite someone? I was talking to him about you and he wanted to meet you. He plays basket ball too."

"Sure! The more the merrier!" She giggled. She told Kise the street the basketball court she was going to. She was hoping she would meet a certain someone there again. She watched Kise pull out his phone from his pocket and thumb out a text. He looked at Kana and nodded after he received a text back from who he sent a text to.

She began walking towards the basketball court. Kise and Kana, talked along the way, about random things. Till Kise worked up the nerve to ask Kana about herself.

"Hey, Kana, I was wondering if you were born with your eyes or do you were two different color contacts?" Kana looked over at Kise slightly confused.

"I was born this way." She giggled. "My Oto-san has blue eyes. My Okaa-san has purple eyes." She looked over at Kise. Kana looked toward the nearing basket ball court and herd sound of a basket ball. She felt her heart start to race in excitement. She quickened her pace to a jog. She smiled as she seen who was there. "Kagami-kun!" Kagami stopped in a mid-running pose and looked over to see Kana.

"Kana. Hey, how are you?" He turned and walked over to her. His eyes widen as he heard her happily call to Kagami. Twitch. Pang. 'She knows Kagami-cchi? Does Kana like Kagami? He likes her?' He walked over to them and put his arm around Kanas shoulder.

"Oh. Kagami-cchi? You know Kana?" He looked at Kagami and smiled.

"Yeah, we met yesterday." Kagami looked at Kana and smiled. "I met two of her brothers as well."

"I met her today. We had a photo shoot today." Kise said with his arm still around Kanas shoulder. "I met her eldest brother as well." She started too looked a little bit uncomfortable. Kagami gently grabbed her arm and pulled her to his side.

"You shouldn't put your arm around her like that. She may not like that." Kagami slowly let go of her arm and she walked over to the concrete wall with the chain link fence on top of it. Kana pulled her phone out of her bag and seen there was a few missed calls and text messages from Ryoma.

Kise walked to stand directly in front of Kagami and Kagami crossed his arms.

"Do you like Kana, Kagami-cchi?" Kise glared at Kagami. Kagami just knitted his brows.

"We met just yesterday… However I'll admit she is very beautiful. A really cool girl." Kagami stole a glance at Kanas back as she was looking at her phone. "Although, Ryoma may act differently towards you since it's not at Kanas work place."

"What do you mean?" Kise was taken back by what Kagami said.

"He is a very protective and doting brother. A fatherly figure to Kana. He may seem very gentlemanly, but when I met him he seemed like a thug. Also don't let Kanas small size fool you either." Kagami chuckled as he recalled the events that happened before, between Kana and Ryoma. Before Kise could say anything to Kagami, they hear Kana scream.
