But why?!

Because I have to...

No you don't! I thought you said you cared about us! Why are you going!

I have no choice! Kise! Aomine! Midorima! Kuroko! Murasakibara! Akashi! I am sorry I have to go!

These two years have been amazing but I have to go.

I am sorry...

The school bell rang, all of us had gathered in the main auditorium, which in fact was quite big, you could probably fit about to 23,000 people in here, the auditorium was our second biggest hall, and ranking first ,our basketball court which could fit a staggering 45,000 people. Yes I know these numbers sound insane but our school site is really gigantic, really gigantic. One of the biggest in Asia, with such enormous facilities these are one of the reasons we host such events. But basketball is not the only event the school holds, the stadium is used as venues for concerts.

Few minutes had passed; the whole hall became silent, just then footsteps could be heard, the headmistress had now arrived. She was quite tall for a female actually, she probably had been on a basketball team, I mean the school is known for its basketball and other subjects. Taking a step at a time, she was now on the platform, looking confident she began to speak.

'Good evening ladies... It seems as though you are all had a great winter holiday. Yes? No?'

'Yes!' Everyone hummed in unison.

'Very good! Then let me get to the important news, I am well aware that some or maybe all of you have seen a group of male high schoolers like yourselves. Well actually they are the basketball teams of some of the top high schools here in Japan. As you know, this year is the time when we Shoen International will hold the 5 year basketball event for them. So that means the school will be used as a training camp for them and some of our students will be participating and helping with them. Right here they come...'

Everyone twisted their heads backwards only to see a massive assemble of boys walk in. Everywhere in the room, I could hear shouting, screaming and chattering as they entered the hall. Just as they sat down, the silence once again conquered the auditorium.

'Ladies, may I please introduce to you the players of this event.'

'Wooooooo!' Claps and cheers could be heard everywhere but it seemed as though the faces of these players look intimidated, maybe because it was an international school and most girls here were not from Japan.

'Okay! Okay! It is now time to remain silent.' The headmistress tried to keep us quiet and frankly it always works. 'I will now give you to our school basketball coach.'

The headmistress had now left the platform and went to sit down next to the event holder; the only person now on the stage was our coach. 'Well ladies, it seemed as though all of you are more excited than the boys! Interesting!'

We all laughed, it was true though. Soon after we had all stopped she had opened a presentation on the screen behind her. Following the presentation, she had spoke of some unnecessary details and that she wishes them good luck. Suddenly when I thought she had finished speaking, she said one final thing.

'But before I let all of you go, I think we should have some words from this school's basketball team. So I would like the captain of Shoen to please make her way to the stage now.'

What... the... hell! The room uttered silence... again. And I had now got up and made my way to the front. Gulp... Usually I am not like this but of all things to do, why... why!? But without any fear I had finally made it and with confidence I spoke, all eyes were on me, watching, staring, gazing. However, all I could see where six certains just looking but they looked with anger. Were they still mad at me? Akashi could have not been mad at me; I mean he still seemed the same when I saw him earlier, Aomine, he was fine aswell, Kise, I never actually said hi to him properly but I am sure it is okay. Though I am not sure about the other three.

'Hi everyone, it nice to know you are all doing well! And as for the boys, uhh... good luck in the games and I hope to see you all very soon again thank you!' I tried to leave as quickly as possible, thank goodness it was a success. As everyone clapped, I had left the stage however I did not return to my seat, I had noticed that someone was missing from them. It was Akashi, which meant trouble. Secretly I escaped from the auditorium in a hunt to find where he was, I manage to find myself in the hallway.

The hallway was empty, with everyone in the auditorium I could perhaps find him sooner. Room after room I checked to see if he was in, sadly with no luck I could not find him until I had finally stood at a door which was locked. Damn... I thought, but no matter, I had soon managed to open it and carefully enter the room without making so much noise. I scanned the room looking for anyone but I was unsuccessful he was not here. With no chance I turned around and decided to leave.

'What are you doing?' kfgh89kirogbhnrfigbhnio! It was Akashi!

'What am I doing?! What are you doing?!' I shouted at him, goodness, he scared me to death. 'What are you?! Kuroko!?', I know that's rude but I had to make a point to him.

'No...' He said to me with a poker face.

'Nevermind, why are you here? You're supposed to be in the auditorium with the others!

' 'But I don't want to. I want to be with you...' He took a step forward. What did he just say...

'Pardon?' I asked not knowing what would happen. 'I said I want to be with you...' He took another step forward but this time I took a step back.

'I want to be with my Ari-ri...' 'Akashi...' My back hit the wall, there was no way out. I was trapped.

'You left us. Why did you leave? Do you hate us?' He kept moving closer. 'Akashi... I... I'm sorry...' Tears soon started falling down my face. I wanted to cry so badly but I could not, not in front of him.

'I'm sorry...' Soon he was right in front of me.

'It's alright Ari...' He took my face and wiped the tears away. Though something was not right, he lifted my face so I was staring right at him, at his eyes. 'You know why?'

I shook my head, no.

'Well it is because you are mine and you do not have to be sorry.' He brought his face down and kissed me on the lips. 'You are mine... Remember that...'

Your mine...

Remember that...
