Everyone could practically taste the tension in the air while both aces practically danced upon the court. Both teams supporting their aces as good as they could till….

"RUN TETSU-NII!" again Hitomi was screaming at the top of her lungs. The sky-bluenette got the ball and before Imayoshi could react he already passed to Kagami who wasted no time in dunking the ball against Aomines efforts. The buzzer sounded and for a few second everything was silent before hell broke lose in the stadium.

They did it! They really did it! Everyone rushed teary eyed to the tired but on cloud nine floating players and congratulated them joyfully. The audience went wild…Seirin really won against Too.

Hitomi helped Kagami supporting an exhausted Kuroko and finally she also let out a few tears when her brother got his long anticipated fist bump. She gave Aomine a thankful look, smiled and entrusted Kuroko to his light to speak with his former. Her team already going back to their changing room.

The darker bluenette looked at her slightly wary when the girl walked his way and Momoi stopped jogging n her way to her childhood friend to observe the interaction between the two teens.

Aomine was not sure what to expect, in his eyes the girl could jump into different moods anytime and he steeled himself even though on the outside he seemed uninterested with his typical uncaring and bored expression in place again. He tensed when she again grabbed his taped arm.

Now also the other players of Too who wanted to return to their lockers watched in interest. What is the Seirin girl doing?

Gently Hitomi pulled away the tape and his team looked dumbfounded, when their ace let the girl move his arm in different directions, bending it to differnt angles, touching and feeling his shoulder. Wakamatsu was the first to react. He maybe didn´t like he other boy to much and the girl seemed nice the last time, but Aomine was still his teams ace and Wakamatsu knew of his injured elbow. "What do you think you are doing girl?!" he growled, stepped forward and pulled on the girls upper arm.

"The Zone strains the body immensely. I just wanted to confirm that his elbow did not get worse." Hitomi answered calmly and he blinked remembering again what she was.

"Oi baka! Let her be." Aomine grunted grabbed the arm that still had Hitomi in a now weak grip harshly and glared at the blonde, again surprising his teammates that he cared enough. "I just wanted to help you bastard!" Wakamatsu snarled back, his grip tightened in uncontrolled anger without him noticing and Hitomi let out a small wince. "Wakamatsu-san please let go! It hurts!" she called out and the blonde instantly let go and flinched back.

Aomine growled and took a step between the girl and his teammate. He may be a rude jerk most of the time but even he knows not to hurt a girl, even if his easy inflamed anger did not let him show this often. He knows not much about this girl, but she was kind enough to care for him and she was obviously very precious to Tetsu. This reasons were sufficent for the bluenette to become protective of the girl.

"My, my no need to fight…don´t you think?" grinned Imayoshi and the tense atmosphere thickened at the words of the captain. "Richter-san was it?"

The girl stiffened. This guy was suspicious to her. The way he played and smiled didn´t sit well with her but she still nodded. "I think your team is waiting for you Richter-san."

With a last look at Aomine and giving Momoi a smile Hitomi turned around and ran to the changing room of her team. It was time to properly celebrate.

At the end they all ended in Kagamis home. With the help of the boys Hitomi convinced Riko that "No you don´t have to cook with me because you want to reward the boys!", shoved her with a little forced smile out of the kitchen and just a bit later happy munching and moans of delight echoed in the flat. It was fun and soon every corner was filled with laughter before people started collapsing, because Riko still smuggled her "healthy" stuff under Hitomis cooking.

"Riko what did you do?!" sighed Hitomi looking at her knocked out team, when she returned from the bathroom. "Thank god I took my own share of food not from her like the others." And with this mental note to not EVER let anything edible in the hands of her coach again did she pull and push at her teammates to get them comfortable and putting bags and jackets under their heads, so they would not wake up with stiff necks and backs. Squeaking out a little moan and rubbing her eyes tiredly Hitomi took the next best blanket from the sofa and snuggled to her brother, falling asleep as well.

The nest day everyone woke up slowly to the smell of…fresh bread? The first guys opened their eyes, began streching and began shaking the others awake.

"I hope it´s okay that I used your kitchen and supplies." apologized Hitomi and began serving with Kagami who helped her prepare the rest of the breakfast. "No problem." "Kagami I need to…" Koganei started and the redhead just gestured to the right. Hitomi looked at Tetsu and giggled fondly. "Tetsu-nii your hair again." She started gently combing through his hair with her fingers and the bluenette closed his eyes in bliss when she also started to slightly scrach his scalp while the other boys looked with slight envy. Lucky bastard! The female just grinned at her brother knowng exactly how good it felt to him, he could be like the puppy he owned.

Even the last woke up at the point when Koganei began screaming like a banshee and stumbled as a stuttering, blushing mess in the living room. "Hey 3! What´s going on? What´s all this noise about." Hitomi stared like the others at the half naked blonde, busty woman who tackled and kissed the shocked Kagami. "Who the hell are you?!"

After the situation calmed down a bit (and putting some pants on) everyone sat down to talk. While the boys still tried to take everything in Hitomi started a conversation in english. "I guess you will watch our games?" Alex blinked at the girl and smirked. "A british accent? How adorable. You two are so cute." Kagami jumped up. "Coach, Hitomi get away. She got a kissing….bug…" But his warning came to late. Riko already got a big smooch on her lips and let out a muffled screech. Hitomi was the next "victim" finding herself snuggled and showered with butterfly kisses.

Hitomi blushed slightly but otherwise let herself be cuddled by the other woman. She herself was a big fan of physical affection by hugs and snuggling, she liked to show her fondness through bodily contact, to the delight of the males of her team who often found themself at the reciving end of a warm hug when their spirits were down, but always with the shadow of Seirin looming in the background as warning not to exploit the situation too much. Also she was no stranger to being very close to people…that comes with her job-description and so she kinda soaked up the attenton she got.

"Miss Alex as much as I like that maybe we should stop. The boys seemed to not handle it too well." she grinned still speaking english."But your so soft and cuddly. And this accent!" Alex cooed rubbing their cheeks against each other. Riko still shell-shocked from what happened to her and the other boys rooted to the spot Kagami was the first to snap out, pulled his poor classmate out of his teachers/ masters embrace and pushed her to Kuroko all the while bickering with the blonde.

Hitomi again started giggling slightly when Tetsu pulled her to him with a pokerface but the girl knew that he was not happy by seeing his sister "violated" by a foreigner.

Seirin currently watched the game between Shutoku and Onita and even Alex looked shocked at the Aura of Midorima. All the while Hitomi stood up an went to fetch herself a snack to calm her rearing desire for something sugary and unhelathy. She maybe the supervisor for health of her team but she also had her guilty pleasures. She is half german for crying out loud, she loves some good chocolate!

"Kise-kuuuuuuun!" she jumped a bit at the screams and turned around seeing Kise Ryouta running away from his fangirls. She laughed before turning two corners waiting paciently. Like she expected was Kise fast enough to round the first corners alone and she grabbed him.

Kise yelped surprised when he was pulled behind a ironically big poster of himself posing for a perfume and a soft, smaller but strong hand clamped over his mouth before he could protest further. The rabid crowd ran past him and the hand let him finally go. "Thank you!" he panted and supported himself on his knees, acknowleding that this person just helped him. "I like my fans… really but sometimes they are too…"

"Wanton?" he turned aorund surprised at the voice he swore he heard somewhere already. His eyes began sparkling when he recogniced the girl. "It`s you! What was your name again?" he stood directly in front of her like a exited puppy. She swore you could see some ears and a wagging tail. "Richter Hitomi…but please call me Hitomi. Nobody here can speak my last name correctly." she smiled and the blonde nodded his head with a big grin taking a step back. For a short moment did his face distort in pain and he smiled again to mask it up but Hitomi noticed. "Kise-san? Are you alright?" Instantly her eyes narrowed and Kise tensed when her eyes raked over his body judgingly. "No it`s nothing."

Again with that smile and Hitomi sighed. "Kise-san please stop smiling this fake smile. That`s ugly." He flinched surprised at her blunt retort and took another step back. A mistake because the girls sharp eyes instantly went to his leg. "Habt ihr Jungs irgendeine Wette am laufen, wer am längsten seine Verletzungen belasten kann? Erst Teppei, dann Takao, dann Aomine und jetzt du?! Mein Gott! Ist das jetzt euer Hobby, dass ich euch immer verarzten muss bevor ich eine normale Konversation mit euch halten kann?"** A big question mark floated over Kises head at the small rant. He didn´t understand a single word but the names, Aomines ecspecially catching his attention. Before he could open his mouth to ask her what she said, was he grabbed by his jacked and dragged to a bench. "Wait! What? Hold on!" suddenly he pushed her away his eyes becoming colder. "I´m not going to let you push me around." he spoke neutrally but with a cold edge.

He saw the girl looking at him and his own eyes windened slightly. Crap! He usually tried to hide this side of him. But suddenly the girl let out a laugh and used his confusion to push him on the bench and kneeled on the floor. "That´s more like it Kise-san! You shouldn´t hide that even idols like you have a "bad" side. There is no need to like anybody and be nice to everyone." The Kaijo ace stared at her in slight wonder. He maybe acted like a dork or a most of the time but if someone would look closer, they would see that he only acts like that with people he really likes and admires. All the other times he is smiling and polite but that does not mean that he is honest in his act.

Still in a daze and his own thoughts he yelped when the girl twisted his ankle in a new way and he looked at her. She did not swoon at him like the other girls and every touch felt professional and smooth not like groping. Hitomi began a firm massage and the blonde could not surpress a groan. It was painful but at the same time it was so good…

"Oi Kise? Where are you?" Moriyama came around the corner and he began sparkling. "Nurse-chan! Again doing the duty for us men!" He swooned and even Kise sweatdropped. "Senpai? I know this is sudden but I need your help."

"Anything for you my little Nurse-chan!" Kise grinned when the girl rolled her eyes and signed his senpai to kneel beside her.

"Please look closely." She very slowly pressed in Kises leg, streching it to a degree and bending it carefully followed by a satisfied groan from Kise. "Now do it too." Moriyama blinked perplexed but complied and repeated her movements under her rather stern guidiance. She let him do it again and again till Kise was a relaxed pile of happiness and Moriyama had the impression that he could copy the movements in his sleep.

"Very good! Do this exercise every training day before and after the training." She clapped Moriyama on the shoulder and stood up. The boys looked at her finally registering why exactly she did that. "You need more magnesium for your muscles Kise-san. Eat some sunflowerseeds and consider to put some oatmeal in your diet." She smiled at them and bowed. "If you excuse me I think my team already misses me."

The two Kaijo boys stared after her retreating form in awe still comprehending what just happened.

"Wait!" the girl turned around at the blondes cry and tilted her head. "Thank you for the tipps." Kise smiled and Hitomi laughed. "Isn´t that a nice smile." and with that she disappeared behind the next corner.

….

Damns she still needed her chocolate!

**Translation: Do you guys have some kind of a bet going, who can strain his injuries the longest? First Teppei, then Takao, then Aomine and now you?! My god! Is that now your hobby that first I have to treat you before I can have a normal conversation with you?
