Hello everybody! Yay it took me three weeks (sort of) to finish this extra chappy! It was very fun to write and I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's the story of how Kise Ryouta and Matsuoka Kaede met for the first time. I hope you'll enjoy it. And don't worry, I haven't forgotten the main story. I'm working on that as well. Please enjoy!

Extra Chapter

'He really brought out the big guns with you, didn't he?'

.

"You want me to do what sir?" Kise asked his coach in confusion. He was wondering if he'd heard right. Takeuchi Genta wasn't the sort of man who'd have these kind of requests.

"I just want you to persuade her to stop by the teachers' office after school."

"How su?"

"Well I don't know," coach Takeuchi said impatiently. "Use your charms, your wits."

"My what?"

"You know how to charm a girl, don't you?"

Kise was starting to feel more and more uncomfortable. What on earth did his coach need this girl for?

"Uhm kantoku su? Can I ask why you need me to get this girl?" The blond boy asked carefully.

"That's not important right now," said coach Takeuchi quickly. "Just make sure to convince her. Remember, her name is Matsuoka Kaede. Year 2, class 6. Now hurry up, or we won't have any lunch time left." With this coach Takeuchi turned around and left Kise to fend for himself.

The boy stood there in silence, trying to comprehend what had happened. After a minute or so he let out a deep sigh. Realizing there was no point in waiting, he went to look for the right classroom.

Let's see... Kantoku said year 2, class 6, he thought while walking past the classrooms. Wait a minute, class 6? She must be smart then.

Kise walked all the way to the furthest classroom of the second-years' floor. He was in luck. A girl was just about to leave through the door. He quickly approached her.

"Sumimasen su?"

"Yes?" The girl looked up and immediately her cheeks started to redden. "Kise-kun? What are you doing here?"

"My reputation precedes me," the boy said with a smile. "I was wondering if you could help me su. I'm looking for a Matsuoka Kaede?"

"Oh...She's in my class," the girl answered, suddenly having made a 180-degree turn in attitude. "Matsuoka-san! There's someone here for you!" she yelled abruptly. Nothing was left of the cute, blushing girl from a minute ago.

Kise decided to ignore it. He wasn't here to see this Matsuoka girl personally. Besides, even if people thought he was, by now he was pretty used to rumors surrounding himself.

He thanked the girl and waited by the door. A moment later Matsuoka Kaede stood in front of him.

"Konnichiwa su!" he said, using his most dazzling smile.

"No way."

"Eh?"

"He really brought out the big guns with you, didn't he?"

Kise was speechless. He didn't know how to respond to that. She stood there, one hand resting on her hip, wearing a knowing smirk. An attractive girl. Quite tall and mature looking for her age, with a well-endowed body and appealing curves. She had shoulder-length chocolate brown hair, cut in loose layers, seductive eyebrows and sharp, brown eyes. Piercing eyes that seemed to look right through him. Though her most striking feature appeared to be a small beauty mark underneath the left side of her mouth.

"You must be the model," she said. "Kito? Kisa?"

"Kise su," the boy filled in, sounding a little sullen about the fact that she apparently didn't even know his name. He admitted to himself that he wouldn't have minded if she'd been a fan of his. Though that was obviously not the case.

"Right, Kise. Sorry." She took a breath. "So, Kise-kun," she began while shifting her weight to her other leg, now letting her right hand rest on her right hip. "You can tell your kantoku... I'm not interested."

"Excuse me?" said Kise confused.

"He probably thought that with you he'd win me over. But too bad for him, you're not my type."

Kise could not stop a small blush from forming on his face. He knew coach Takeuchi had send him to her for exactly that reason, hoping his good looks would work. But Kise would never admit that to the girl.

"Look, I don't know what you're getting at, but I was only told that coach Takeuchi wants you to come and meet him in his office after school." He was silent for a moment. "...Okay, somehow that sounded really perverted."

Matsuoka suppressed a snort. "Not a very good salesman, are you?"

"I'm only good at selling myself su."

. . .

"And I don't mean in a perverted way su!"

"I didn't say anything."

"Yeah, but you were thinking it."

The girl started laughing. Cackling in a way that really annoyed Kise. "This is priceless. The popular Kise Ryouta being this awkward and clumsy. I knew it," she said as she let another giggle escape.

"So you did know my name su!" Kise responded, offended, although he didn't know why.

"I was just messing with you." She let out a sigh. "Alright. I'll go."

"What?"

"The answer will be the same, but I'll go."

.

Kise went back to his own classroom, feeling quite disheveled from meeting this peculiar girl. He knew he had to pick her up once classes were over, or else she might bail on him. And so, at the end of the day, he found himself strolling along the long corridor of the second-years' floor. To his surprise, Matsuoka was already standing next to her classroom door.

"I knew you'd think I would run away. So I didn't."

"How considerate of you su."

The two of them walked back past the classrooms and down the stairs. All the while Kise tried to sneak peeks at Matsuoka's chest. It might be almost as big as Momoi's.

"It's an E-cup," the girl suddenly said as if it were the most natural thing in the world to say.

"Eh? ...I... I see su," the blond boy said awkwardly, heat creeping up his face. "How fortunate you are..."

"Thank you."

This girl was dangerous. She'd made him blush twice today. This was bad for his image. I better be careful around her, he thought cautiously.

They continued walking towards the teachers' office, or so Kise thought. All of a sudden Matsuoka made a turn to the left, in de direction of the school courtyard and the long covered passageway towards the first gym.

"Uh the teachers' office is this way," Kise said while pointing to the right.

"I know. But he won't be there," the girl replied without missing a beat.

"But coach Takeuchi said to come to the teachers' office su."

"I know he did. But he won't be there."

"Huh?" This girl was getting weirder by the minute.

"Fine. If you want to be proven wrong that badly," she said as she passed him and proceeded to walk to the right.

Kise shook his head. The hell does kantoku want with this chick?

But to Kise's dismay, once the two of them were at the office, he was indeed proven wrong.

"I'm sorry, you just missed him," one of the teachers said at the door. "If you need to speak to him, you can find him at the first gym."

"Thank you sir," Matsuoka replied, bowing politely.

Kise couldn't utter a word. He was completely stunned. It was only after they began walking to the gym he was able to speak again.

"How? How did you know su?"

"It wasn't hard to figure out, after he sent you to chaperone me."

"You know the coach?"

"He doesn't teach my class. But I've met him a couple of times,"

"A couple of times?"

After a five-minute walk they came to the first gym. Kaijo High had three gyms, the first one being the biggest, which was mostly reserved for the boys basketball team.

Kise opened the door. The gym was already filled with members doing their warming up.

"Shitsurei shimasu," Matsuoka said quietly when the two of them entered.

Coach Takeuchi stood in the back, holding a clipboard.

"Yo kantoku su! I've brought the girl!" Kise shouted through the gym.

Everyone instantly looked up and immediate murmuring filled the air when Kise and Matsuoka started walking in the direction of the coach.

"Good job Kise," coach Takeuchi responded. "I knew I could count on you."

Kise made an awkward sound. Something between a wail and a cough. Matsuoka rolled her eyes.

"I'm sorry sir, but my answer is still going to be the same," she said strongly but politely. "Even if you were planning to keep me here to watch your team's practice."

"Good observation."

"You weren't hard to read."

"I'll make you change your mind."

"I sincerely doubt it sir, but you're welcome to try."

Kise was looking from the coach to Matsuoka and back, not understanding a thing the two were talking about. He shrugged and went to the clubroom to change his clothes. After a few minutes he returned to the gym.

"Alright boys! Practice's starting!" coach Takeuchi yelled while clapping his hands.

Matsuoka had taken a seat on one of the benches. Kise joined his teammates.

"Oi Kise. Who's the chick? Your girlfriend? She's pretty cute," one of them asked.

"No. She is... I don't really know su. Except that she and kantoku seem pretty tight."

Practice began and kept going on for two hours. All the while Matsuoka kept watching from the sidelines. She didn't move. She didn't flinch. She just went on viewing the training with a nostalgic look on her face. When practice was over, coach Takeuchi gave a small speech and then everyone hit the showers. He waited for Matsuoka. He saw the look in her eyes.

"Why don't we talk in my office?"

.

Meanwhile Kise tried to finish his after practice routine as quickly as possible. He was the first out of the shower, then rushed into his clothes. He wanted to know. He had an idea about Matsuoka, but he needed to know for sure. She was acting so damn mysterious, and it irked him. He hurried back to the gym. But when he passed the coach's office, he heard her voice.

"You have a great team. Promising new players. I'm positive it will all come together in a few months. I just don't understand why you need me?"

"I need your eyes. Your analytical ability. The skill to read somebody with just one glance."

"You give me too much credit."

Kise held his breath as he listened to the conversation, trying to stay as silent as possible.

"I've given up basketball." He heard Matsuoka say in a downcast voice. Kise swallowed inaudibly.

"Are you sure about that?"

He could practically hear Matsuoka hesitate.

"I'm sorry sir, but you'll have to find someone else."

He heard her leave. Panic took over and he started nervously squirming around, to no avail. He had no place to hide. She opened the door. Her eyes immediately fell on him.

"Yyo," Kise whispered awkwardly.

Matsuoka sighed. "You're pretty bad at eavesdropping you know?" she whispered back.

"Eh?"

She took his wrist and started pulling him with her. "I heard running all the way down the hall. And then you suddenly stopped right in front of kantoku's office?"

"I wasn't planning on eavesdropping. I was just looking for you su, and I heard your voice."

"Why were you looking for me?" she asked while letting go of his wrist. She stopped. Then turned around.

"I just want to know what all of this means. Did coach Takeuchi ask you to be our manager?"

"He did. Several times."

"And you said no. Why su?"

The girl sighed. "I'll show you,"

.

They were back at the gym. The quiet, empty space felt strange. It seemed bigger than usual. Kise shivered, though it wasn't cold at all.

Matsuoka held a basketball and started dribbling. She had skill and speed. She drove to the basket, was ready for a jump shot... But then the ball dropped. It bounced for a few seconds until it died out. It rolled towards Kise. The blond boy picked it up.

"I... can't lift my left arm," Matsuoka said softly. "I cannot raise it above my shoulder."

"What?"

"I got into an accident during my last year of middle school, and injured my shoulder. Doctors tried to fix it, but it was in vain." She turned around to face him, hurt visible in her eyes. "I can't play basketball anymore..."

.

.

Those words kept echoing inside Kise's mind. It had been days, but he couldn't stop thinking about it. Why was kantoku pushing this? It's understandable if he wanted Matsuoka for her basketball experience, but that wasn't all. I want your eyes. He had said that to her, but what did it mean? Kise wanted to know. So, one afternoon during lunch break he found himself standing next to Matsuoka's desk.

"It would be better for you to just let it go," she said without looking up.

"I want you to play basketball with me."

The girl turned her head, eyeing Kise for a moment, then turned back to look in front of her. "You know I can't."

"Yes you can su."

She didn't respond.

"You don't have to score. You just have to stop me."

She turned her head again. This time her eyes showed a bit of confusion while looking at the boy next to her.

"I want to know what kantoku meant when he said 'I want your eyes'."

"He meant nothing."

"Stop being so secretive dammit!"

Students surrounding the two of them started to take an interest in their conversation, so it was only getting noisier around them with everyone speculating. Of course Kise Ryouta visiting their classmate not once but twice was already enough material for gossip.

"Why do you care?"

He knew she was cornering him. But if he had to be honest, he didn't know why himself.

"I just do su," he said stubbornly.

She sighed and stood up slowly. "Let's get this over with then."

And so, the two of them found themselves back at the gym. They had somehow been able to persuade a teacher to let them use it during the break.

"What if I can't stop you?" Matsuoka asked, though Kise couldn't quite place her tone of voice.

"Then I'll drop this," he answered determinedly.

"Fine."

Kise took the ball, Matsuoka a defensive position.

"Ready su?"

The girl nodded. Kise started his attack, but it was over pretty quickly. He bypassed Matsuoka in a flash. Though he didn't feel like scoring at all. He stopped and turned around.

"Come on! I'm going all out here! At least do your best," he said, flailing his arms.

"What makes you think I can stop you anyway? You're a Miracle. I'm just a girl."

"If you were just a girl, kantoku wouldn't try so hard to make you our manager. Why can't you take this seriously su? What are you so afraid of?"

"If I knew myself, it would be easy."

"I want to help you." The words were out of his mouth before he realized it.

Matsuoka smiled sadly. "Alright. You win." She shook her head, opened her eyes, and suddenly before him stood a completely different Matsuoka Kaede. "Come at me."

Kise didn't know why, but he was actually having quite a hard time against Matsuoka. He wasn't going all out though, and she probably knew. Still it was difficult, but he had fun. She was pretty tough at defense and was good in stealing. He hadn't scored yet since they started. And for a moment he could have sworn he saw the girl smiling.

Matsuoka made another steal. She quickly tapped it out of Kise's hands. The ball bounced off.

"Ahrg. One more time! One more time su!" the boy wailed childishly.

Matsuoka chuckled. "I think we're almost out of time."

"Then how did you do it? I've never been beaten by a girl before," he said, panting a little.

"I thought you wanted me to win?" Matsuoka said, panting a little as well. She shook her head. "To be honest, you showed your vulnerabilities a lot more openly then I expected."

"What?"

"You have a tendency to use the right side when you're cornered. It's understandable, since your right hand is your dominant one. Plus before you go for a full drive, you have the habit of moving your foot in the direction you want to go just a little."

Kise was baffled. She saw all that? Things he didn't even know of? And was able to keep him from scoring? He understood now why coach Takeuchi wanted her to become their manager so badly.

"Your- Your eyes su," he said, still slightly stunned.

"They're not super eyes. I just pay a little more attention than most people."

"You're still amazing."

"Thank you. It means a lot to me. And," The girl took a step closer. "thank you for doing this for me. I really had...fun." She smiled. A true, genuine smile this time.

Something happened, Kise noticed. Something that seemed to quite surprise him. His heart skipped a beat. Though he decided to ignore it.

"Does that mean that you'll..?"

"It will still be hard for me to see you play, knowing I'll never be able to do that again. But I'd rather regret joining you, than regret not joining. I'm afraid it will always keep me wondering."

She smiled. Kise was speechless. Once again she'd made him look for words. The school bell rang. They both looked up, startled by the sudden sound.

"We should get back," Matsuoka said.

"Yeah."

The two of them walked back to their own floor in silence. Kise still couldn't believe he'd got the girl to join the boys basketball team. If he had to be honest, he hadn't known what would happen when he challenged her. But he was very glad he did.

When they came to Kise's classroom Matsuoka said goodbye. "Well, guess I'll see you this afternoon."

"Yeah."

"Try not to fall asleep in class."

"Eh? How did you know I-?"

"Hey, I'm your manager now. It's my job to know. Plus, you're so obviously the type." She gave him a knowing smile.

Kise couldn't help but smile back.

"See ya," Matsuoka said as she turned around to continue walking to her own classroom.

"See ya Matsuokacchi."

She turned around, surprised, then smiled. "Don't ever call me that again."

And that was my very first extra chap! I hope you enjoyed it. I'll probably do some more extra chapters in the future. Don't know when yet. We'll see. For now I'll continue working on chapter 13. So I hope it will be finished in about three weeks. Seeya!
