Chapter 5
~Normal POV~
On the court you can see that the Shutoku players are warming up for their games. Especially Kise and Midorima.
Suddenly the door opened and in came the Kaijou players. Leaded by the coach and their captain. You can see, Tetsumi just behind Kasamatsu. With the others tailing behind her.
When Kise and Midorima, saw her they immediately dropped what they were doing and immediately went towards her.
"Hime-chi/Hime." They shouted together. Ignoring the curious looks of their teammates.
With Kaijou, you can see Tetsumi stiffen when she heard someone calling her princess and she only knows two persons who calls her by that name. Her ex-teammates have unique way of calling her after all. Like for her cousin, he calls her Tetsumi. With Aomine, he calls her Tetsu. Momoi calls her Tetsu-chan. Murasakibara calls her Hime-chin. Kise calls her Hime-chi. And lastly Midorima calls her Hime.
So she knows that Kise and Midorima was the one who called her.
When she saw that they were wearing Shutoku uniforms, she was shocked. Because she never thought that they would split apart. That they would stay together in one team. But guessing that it was her fault that this happened to them, she can't help but feel guilty.

~Tetsumi's POV~
"I see, that you two went to Shutoku high together." I stated and felt the prying eyes of my teammates.
"Everyone, can you leave me alone with them?" I asked them politely, seeing as Kise and Midorima looks so serious.
Captain and the others reluctantly agreed and left me to talk with my ex-teammates.
"Hime, we want to know why, you left us." Stated Midorima
"As I said before, I hate basketball." I replied easily, not really lying since I came to hate it after I last talked to them.
The pain and fear I felt of not ever playing basketball again. Without someone limiting me. My dream before was, to play freely, like before my illness became severe.
The very reason I have to stop in Middle school and leaving them without explaining.
"If you really hate basketball, then why are you here? If you really hated this, then you would have never joined the basketball team at all." asked Kise still not believing me
"I am only helping my mom's friend, I am only training them." Well it is true. I have been training them since the start of the school year. The coach did left me to train them. My mom did ask if I could help Kaijou's coach.
"Is that so, then you leave us no choice. We propose a bet Hime." stated Midorima
"A bet? And why would I want to have a bet with the two of you?" I arched a brow at him. Thinking that this has Sei's name on it.
"Because you owe it to us, Hime-chi. So you have to agree with our bet." Replied Kise seriously.
"Very well then, since I can't really change your mind or just walk out, what is this, so called bet that the two of you want to initiate?"
"It is not only us, Hime. But the rest as well. The bet, is that if we win against your school. Then you have to tell us the real reason of why you left us. We know you Hime. You are only pushing us away. Since you are afraid." Stated Midorima
"Afraid? Afraid of what exactly" I asked narrowing my eyes at them. But inside I was panicking.
"We don't know what you are afraid of exactly. But you must have little faith in us, if you would have believe that we will leave you alone, just like that. Something really serious happened. We know you. But there are two people that know you better than us." Kise replied
"And who will that be? Who are they?" I asked already knowing the answer to that.
"Aomine and Akashi." Midorima instantly replied
"I know why Sei is one of them. But why Aomine-kun." I asked closing my eyes. Trying to calm myself at hearing Aomine-kun's name.
"We are not blind, Hime-chi. We know that the two of you likes each other. We know that you still do, besides, your reaction to his name, gave it away and don't try to deny it." Kise stated
"Sigh. Then I believe that the others are in different schools, as well. Even though I don't know what school the rest are? But for sure, Sei is attending Rakuzan."
"Yes, Akashi is attending Rakuzan, along with Murasakibara" revealed Midorima
"And Aomine-chi is in Too with Sa-chi" added Kise
If I remember correctly, which I do, if we win here, our next opponent will be Too High school in the 3 days. Following that will be Rakuzan.
"So, this is an all-out battle against the Generation of Miracles, hah. You guys really won't leave me alone." I stated to them rubbing my temple. Having migraines at irregular hours really is annoying.
Luckily, they didn't know of my illness. Sigh
"Alright then, I'll accept this bet. That is if you can beat my team, I'll tell you the real reason on why I abandon you. Let me see you try." I challenged them.
"Are you not going to play Hime?" asked Midorima
"Force me to play then, let me see what the two of you are capable of. Since we haven't seen each other for a while. I am not naïve that I will believe that the two of you haven't trained since I left." I replied hotly. Inwardly wincing at me tone.
"Hime-chi, you've changed." Stated a shock Kise while Midorima agreed.
"Alright then, please warm up along with the others. It won't be long, until you step on the court to play." Replied Midorima and left, while Kise followed him, looking at me one last time and turned back.
Luckily they didn't see me looked at them sadly.
I went back to my teammates.
"Are you alright?" asked Himuro-kun while the rest looked at me wanting to know as well.
"I'm fine. We made a bet. That if we lose, I would have to tell them my reason on why I left that day." I replied sadly
"I see, then we will win this match for you Tetchan. You won't have to go out there to play. We will beat them for you." Declared Kiyoshi-senpai while the others agreed with him.
"That bet, doesn't concern only the two of them. That bet is declared by all of them and I heard that some of them are I Too and Rakuzan." I revealed
"I see, don't worry about that yet. Just focus now." stated Kasamatsu-senpai

~Midorima's POV~
Hime really changed. Sigh.
Her team, if she was really the one who trained them, then they would be in our level.
I looked at Kise and he looked as worried as I was.
Sigh.
"Ne, ne Shin-chan. That teammate of yours, gave the both of you a sad look when the both of you turned your back, on her." Revealed Takao
"Are you sure?" asked Kise
Takao nodded.
"Then, this is really a façade." I looked at Kise and nodded.
We message Akashi and the others on what happened with Hime.
Now, we are waiting for the start of the game.
Kise and I don't know if we can beat them. But Hime, only started this year in training them. While she has trained us for 3 years until the time she left.
We have an advantage in this. Beside I brought my stuffed dog with me as my lucky item for today.
Kise and I started to get ready. We were already being called to the court. We saw that Hime is, really sitting on the bench, not on the court. We really have to force her to come out and play then.
Then let the games begin…..

~Aomine's POV~
Unknown to Tetsu that I heard everything she had said to Midorima and Kise. I had Kise call me and I listened on, in their conversation.
Hearing that she was affected by me, gave me hope.
Akashi and Murasakibara couldn't come. But Akashi ordered Midorima to do as what Kise did to me. So that they can listen in to. Akashi put it on speaker so Murasakibara can hear it, while Satsuki was beside me listening on to the conversation.
We receive a message that said, Tetsu was looking at them sadly when they turned their back on her, as what had their teammate said to them.
"Ne, Dai-chan. There is still hope then. She is just really hiding something from us." Said Satsuki carefully, afraid that her best friend had changed to someone she no longer knew.
I only nodded. I saw that Tetsu was touching something around her neck. I narrowed my eyes and saw the necklace I gave her.
I am happy that she still has it.
I will talk to her after this match. Satsuki will be going with Kise and Midorima to give me privacy, later on.
We focused on the match that is about to start. I am quite curious of the team she had trained.
Will they be able to defeat Kise and Midorima without Tetsu coming out or not will be decided on this match.
