You have got to be kidding me.

Standing between Seirin and Touo was Fae in her robe with a towel on her head. Fae looked at both sides before sighing to herself. "This is not in my vacation list."

"Fae-chan!"

"Fae."

"Fae-san."

"Hello, Momoi, Tetsu, duo idiots."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN IDIOT?!" Said Aomine and Kagami in perfect sync. They continued to glare at each other.

"Whatever. Goodbye." She was about to pass Aomine by when the teen caught her arm. "Let me go, Ahomine."

"What are you doing here?"

"Enjoying hotspring. As recommended by my doctor."

'Doctor?' Kagami looked at Fae. 'Is she sick or something?'

"Yeah right." Aomine sarcastically agreeing. "Like Akita didn't have one that you had to travel all the way here."

"I can do whatever I like." Fae pulled her arm with greater force. "And it will still not involving you."

If it wasn't for Takao, Momoi and Kuroko, Kagami was in deep trouble. Glaring at him were Aomine who was clenching his fist so hard that it already bled and Midorima could be seen mumbling something, probably chanting a dead spell onto Kagami.

All because Fae was in emergency room. Thanks to a certain idiot.

Flashback

"No, I am not a player." Fae offhanded said. "Basketball is a stupid sport where you injured yourself in order to win. Just like any other sports. Just like you injuring your knees." Just like someone she knew injuring himself, particularly his elbow for God's sake.

Needless to say, Fae's a good provoker. Kagami challenged her to a one-on-one to prove her wrong. He wanted to show her how basketball could be fun. He wanted her to shut her mouth so badly.

Fae accepted it.

And Kagami could have sworn the girl, if not better than Midorima, she would be on par with the horoscope freak. She made one after another shot into the basket.

"Not a player, my ass." Kagami began panting. He walked to where the ball was rolling to pick it up. "You-" And his face went pale when he turned around and saw her collapsed on the ground.

End flashback

"If anything were to happen to Fae, I'll seriously kill you." Aomine hissed.

"Not if I killed him first."

Momoi looked at both Midorima and Aomine. This was the second time she had seen them this furious. Furious enough that one glare from them spoke a death threat. Kagami had not raised his head since they arrived here after receiving his call. Well, more accurately, he called Kuroko and Kuroko called them.

The air of tension broke when the doctor came out. Midorima went to get him first to ask about Fae's condition. To which the doctor replied, "You can see her after they transferred her to her room now that she's stabilized. But, if you let her pull a stunt like that again..."

Midorima nodded and thanked him. He looked at Kagami who's now finally had a relief face. His anger had tone down a bit, but not fully. "Be thankful, idiot."

Aomine, on the other hand, didn't mutter a single word. But, knowing him, Kagami knew now he really got on Aomine's bad side.

Fae hold her head in her palms. "For the 100th time, get lost already!"

Midorima still wouldn't budge from his seat. He was so busy peeling the apples for her to eat. The apples that he tsundere-ly bought for her, because he wouldn't admit he cared for her.

"Is that how you treat your visitor?"

"Visitor? Try a prison guard." Fae crossed her arms over her chest. "Don't you have practice or something?" Fae then looked at Takao. "Please drag him by any means. I'll take full responsibility."

Takao just smiled. "It's not everyday you could see Shin-chan's being nice to a girl."

"She's my cousin, idiot!"

"Where's Kagami? I'm here because of him in the first place." And the bickering stopped like a bomb had been dropped onto the room. Purely silence. "What's with the creepy quietness?"

"I forbid him from coming." Midorima continued peeling. "Aomine too." He mumbled the last part to himself, but Fae caught it.

"Aomine was here?"

"Kuroko called us."

"Seeing Kagami is not bedridden beside me..." Fae took a slice of peeled apple. "I assumed Aomine didn't kill him."

"Almost do." Midorima put the peeling knife in the fruit basket. He looked at his cousin with determined face. "Fae. Stop torturing yourself. I'm serious and I'm not asking."

The girl clutched the sheet of her bed and bitterly smiled. "Not easy to do that. Especially when it was once, part of your blood."
