Let's Continue
The Whistle showed it was time for the second Quarter.
Seirin: 25. Too: 37
"A 12 point difference. We can't make it 15!" Hyuga shouted.
Serin on the court nodded. Aomine smirked as he looked at Kagami. To him it was a good opponent.
The ball was in the air! Who ever got it first would start. Kagami grabbed the ball as fast as he could and ran for the hoop. He jumped which looked like he was going to dunk. Aomine blocked him. Kagami quickly passed it to Kiyoshi who dunked the ball in.
"Go Seirin! Let's go! Let's go Seirin!" The people at the Seirin Bench shouted happily.
"We're doing good! We have to catch up!" Hyuga shouted with determination.
"Hai Captain~" Izuki sang, as he made a dunk by stealing the ball from Wakamatsu. "I did good right~?"
"Shut up Izuki." Hyuga said walking back to position, "Or do you want to be substituted early?"
Rin blinked. She never thought that people on court could be so...scary. Aomine's freestyle, Kagami's jump, the intense atmosphere. It felt like you were chocked.
Riko smiled, "Don't worry. They all practice hard to win."
On the other bench, Momoi smiled as she watched the game. She wanted Too to win yet she believed Seirin would win again.
Kuroko got the ball and passed it to Kagami who jumped and did a hard dunk.
Seirin: 31. Too: 37
"A 6 point difference! Go Seirin!" The Audience shouted.
Kagami smirked. Aomine glared as he got the ball. He ran to the hoop and made a dunk. Kiyoshi dried to defend it but Aomine pushed the ball through.
Imayoshi smirked, "Sorry, but we're going to win." He said to Hyuga who glared.
Sakurai now had the ball, Izuki tried to use Eagle Eye to steal it but Sakurai did a quick shot and it went in.
"Sorry!" He cried.
"Don't say sorry if you're going to shoot." Hyuga replied.
"Eh, S-sorry! I'm sorry!" Sakurai cried worriedly as he looked at Hyuga's clutch time personality.
"W-what happened to Hyuga?" Rin asked confused.
"That's Hyuga-kun's clutch time personality." Riko explained.
"It's captain's true personality. When the game is in deep trouble but it's good since he won't miss most of his shoots." Koganei said.
"Ah..I see. But why do he have that type of personality?" Rin asked.
Riko smiled.
~Flash Back~
"Coach! I want to learn how to shoot accurately even under stress!" Hyuga shouted.
Riko gave a thoughtful look, "Hm...How about every time you miss a basket in Practice, one of your warrior action figure will be destroyed?"
Hyuga wondered looking at the ground, thinking hard. "Hm...I accept."
Riko smiled. Then every time he missed a shot, one warrior was destroyed.
"As you can see, Hyuga-kun's personality was severed.
Rin blinked, "I-I can see that..."
Aomine had the ball. He dribbled it and ran faster than he was before past Kagami. He threw the ball right into the hoop.
The gap in both team's points was still getting bigger. Seirin: 31, Too:41. A ten point gap.
Seirin decided it was best that Kagami should mark Aomine.
Kuroko passed the ball to Hyuga who did a quick three pointer. Aomine tried to dunk the ball but Kiyoshi blocked it and Aomine earned a foul.
"Black! Number 2(Random Number) Foul! Three free shoots!" The referee shouted as he whistled.
Kiyoshi smiled.
Seirin cheered. With this, they could catch up to Too Academy.
Kiyoshi stood in position. He was going to try and use all three throws for a three pointer. He bended his knees and threw it. It went in. Two more.
Again, he threw it, but it didn't make it. Kagami ran to the ball and slammed it in.
Seirin: 39. Too: 41
It was the last throw. It meant everything. With this, Seirin can finally catch up. Pause. He threw it right in. Seirin cheered. They caught up.
The referee blew his whistle signaling the end of the second quarter. Seirin and Too played intense. Riko and Rin gave small advices that helped them. Kuroko stayed on the bench during the third quarter to save energy.
Seirin: 81, Too: 80
During the last quarter, Kuroko did misdirection overflow...Though there were a few gaps in it. During the end, Aomine quickly made a dunk, Leading Too to win.
Kagami ran to the basket as fast as he could. Too blocked the way. But with Kuroko's passes, he passed them and made a buzzer beater.
Score= Seirin: 102, Too: 100
Seirin won.
"Woooooo!" Kagami shouted with Seirin.
Aomine looked down, "Tsk."
Momoi gave a worried look at Aomine. She wondered if he was okay.
"Aomine-kun." Kuroko said standing in front of him.
Aomine looked, "It's your win."
Kuroko held his hand out in a fist. "We didn't fist bump."
Aomine sighed, "Fine. Just this once." He said giving a fist bump to Kuroko like in the old days.
Too's coach looked down. They lost, again. But they'll make a comeback.
Riko smiled. She was too happy. She was crying.
"RiRi.." Rin muttered giving her a handkerchief.
"T-thank you...And RiRi?"
"Hai (Yes), It's cuter and shorter.." Rin said smiling.
"Okay. Let's go get something to eat." Riko said happily.
Because no one really had money...they ended up at Kagami's place.
"Sorry for intruding..." Riko muttered.
Kagami was wearing a apron, cooking. With Riko's help.
"Ah, it's okay." Kagami said. "Hey! Why aren't you helping?"
Rin blinked, "I don't want to..."
"At least help with getting the plates." Kagami answered.
She frowned and sighed, walking to the cabinet. She set the table ready and sat back in her seat.
"Um...Rin." Koganei said.
"Yes?" She answered.
Koganei gave a nervous look, "You seem to be familiar to this place."
Everyone paled...
"Hm..? Oh yeah that's right. I come to Kagami's place sometimes." She said blinking, "Why do you ask?"
Kagami glared, "Tsk. Stupid...Don't talk so casually. It was your fault getting lost."
"But.." Rin started.
Riko looked around at the atmosphere and changed the subject, "Let's eat."
"H-Hai Coach!"
"It's good." Hyuga said.
"Coach, did you really make this?" Koganei asked.
Riko tried to act cutely, "Well~ I did get a little bit of help."
The atmosphere paused...
"Congratulations Coach." Kiyoshi said, saving the day.
"Teppei..." Hyuga muttered.
While Izuki was eating, he thought of a pun. "I decided that becoming a vegetarian was a missed steak."
The group laughed.
"It is a bit funny..." Rin said smiling.
Kuroko blinked. He still had a expressionless face but you could still make out the small smile.
"Today was fun." Rin said.
They agreed, "It is and we won." Riko answered, "But we still need to practice for the next game."
"Ne, You guys should come to my place next time." Rin answered.
"Are you sure?" Hyuga asked.
She nodded, "Yeah. Okkasan and Otousan seems to want to meet you guys too.."
"Then we'll go to your place soon!" Riko said smiling.
They nodded, "T-they're not to strict o-or mean right?" Furihata asked.
"Hm...They're laid back so it';ll be okay."
Fukuda and Kawahara sighed.
"Good night." Kuroko and Rin said as they took out a random sleeping mat and laid on the ground asleep.
"H-Hey! Who said you guys are staying over?" Kagami shouted.
"Well...It is late." Kiyoshi said.
"Tsk. Fine only this once." Kagami muttered.
"Yay...!" Rin muttered and continued to sleep next to Kuroko.
Riko looked, "H-Hey! Rin. You should sleep with me. I won't let you sleep with the guys."
"Coach...she's asleep..." Koganei said poking Rin's cheek for a slight movement.
They all went to sleep on the floor and Kagami just fell asleep since he ate too much.
The next morning, Rin and Riko woke up early and decided to leave so their parents weren't too worried.
The team looked around for their manager and Coach but couldn't find them.
"There's a note." Fukuhara said.
'Woke up early. Bye.' ~ Riko and Rin
"I'll be going." Kuroko said as he was already in school uniform and dissapeared.
"Huh?" Kagami asked.
The dishes weren't done it and it was a mess. Everyone just left quickly.
Kagami exploded.
