Chapter 53


The ball bounced off the rim, as Izuki yelled "REBOUND!"

Immediately, Kagami and Kiyoshi stood in front of Okamura and Ryu. The ball bounced away from Kagami's position, as Ryu jumped to get the ball. At the corner of his eyes, he saw Kiyoshi grab the ball first, as he passed it to Hyuuga. He and Kuroko ran for it, as Mursakibara stood in front of them. Mursakibara jumped, as Hyuuga did a shooting position, but he threw it to the side, into Kuroko's hands. Mursakibara had his hand over the direction of the ball, but Kuroko had shot it already, as it went into the net. "Kuro-chin~~~!" growled Mursakibara. Seirin cheered, as the second quarter was over.

The points were 29 to 17. Seirin was catching up.

"With this, we'll go on a break. Second half, 3rd quarter will start in 10 minutes." They announced. Seirin watched the back of Yosen slowly get smaller, as they realized this.

It's just the beginning…


As both teams briefed in their respective rooms, Yosen heard a knock. Everyone looked at each other, as they rose an eyebrow. Araki opened it as they saw Misaki, standing in front of them.

"You are-"

"Good evening, Coach Araki. I need to speak with Himuro Tatsuya for a moment." Greeted Misaki. Araki was about to deny her, until she saw the threatening look in her eyes. Araki swallowed as she allowed her in.

Himuro got up as she saw her. Surprise all over his face. " Misaki, what are you doing here?"

Misaki smiled threateningly. "Please clench your teeth, please." Himruo instinctively close his mouth. Before anyone could react, Misaki had punched Himuro in the jaw, as he fell onto the ground. The others went to stop her, but Medusa Eye, was leaking out. Everyone froze.

Himuro got up, as he looked at her straight in the eye. "I guess I deserved that." He said.

"You think?!" she hissed, as she pointed a finger at him. "You….YOU! What is the fuck wrong with you Tatsuya?! I understand you want to play against Taiga, seriously. Fine, I respect that. But forcing me, to stay out of this match, because of your own selfish desires, what happened?! Have you gone nuts?!" she yelled.

Everyone could only sit on their chairs, looking at the two frighteningly. Himuro didn't speak, chewing on his lips.

"So? Are you going to answer me?!" she yelled.

"No." he said.

"No? Fine. " said Misaki. "Were you serious, about if you win, you will transfer me to Yosen?"

Himuro looked down. "I wanted to do what was best for you."

Misaki slapped his face, as Misaki grabbed the front of his shirt. "Listen here, Tatsuya….if you did and manage to transfer me to Yosen, I will, I will, break my own legs."

Himuro widened his eyes as did the others. She let go of his shirt, as Himuro looked at her. She walked away, as she bowed apologetically to his teammates. She walked away, as Himuro stopped her.

"Misaki…you can't be serious…"

She spun towards him, as she cocked her head to the side. "No? Like I didn't mean to kill myself." She hissed. The others looked at her, in surprise.

"Did you even bother to ask me? Did you even brother to ask how I felt, before rushing into your own desires? No, you fucking didn't." she said. "You never asked me, how I felt…." She said in a low voice. Himuro seemed surprise, as he couldn't speak.

"Please…don't-"

"Don't what? Don't break my legs? Don't leave? "she said. She drew out her scissors, as she held it in front of Himuro. "I already have my hands full on Akashi and I don't need to hate my own brother. I will tell you this, Himuro. I am very serious. And I will prove it to you." She said. Himuro and Mursakibara ran at her, before she could do anything.

Everyone stopped as she had stabbed her left arm. She barely made a noise, as she drew it. She stabbed her right leg, as Himuro and Mursakibara grabbed her hand.

"Let go of me, Mursakibara." She said. Murasakibara let go of her hand, as she threw Himuro off. She exited the room, as Himuro looked down.

"I'm sorry, can I be excused?" he asked. Wordlessly, they nodded.


Everyone in Seirin jumped, as they heard the door open. They looked to see Misaki, standing in the door way.

Kagami and Kuroko got up. "Misaki-" said Riko, until she gasped. She saw her arm and leg were bleeding, as tears were soaking her face.

"Sorry, I'm late." Said Misaki. Kagami ran over, as he carried her. Kuroko and the others surrounded her, as Kagami set her down on the bench. Riko went to cut her pants leg. She treated her leg and then her arm. Kuroko rubbed her back, as she cried silently.

"What happened, Misaki-san?" asked Kuroko.

"I got over here, during the second quarter." Said Misaki. "When the 2nd quarter was over, I went to yell at Tatsuya's face."

Kagami and the others froze. "I punched Tatsuya's face and I confronted him. I told him, if Yosen did manage to win, I would break my own legs."

The others froze. "Misaki, you can't be serious…" said Izuki.

"I don't joke that often." She said.

"Coach. Captain." said Misaki. The two looked at her "When the times comes, please let me play." Said Misaki, seriously.

"Misaki-"

"Please." Begged Misaki. Kagami looked at their captain and coach. The two looked at each other, as Kiyoshi nodded. Hyuuga sighed.

"Fine. But only for a while." He said.

Misaki looked at them as she smiled. "Hai."


As the others got on the court, the others went to prepare. Thus leaving Kuroko and Misaki alone, for a while.

"Misaki-san…will you be alright?" asked Kuroko.

Misaki nodded. She rubbed the ring around her neck. "Ya... Hey, Tetsu?"

"What is it, Misaki-san?"

"Is…is it alright to be selfish sometimes?" she asked.

Kuroko looked at her, as he held her hands. "I think so."

"I see…Tetsu, can I ask you a favour?" she asked.

"What is it?"

Misaki lifted the ring around her neck, as placed in Kuroko's hand. "Can you please hold this on, for me? Please?"

Kuroko stared wide—eyed at her, as she grinned. "Please?" asked Misaki again.

Kuroko nodded, as he kissed the edge of her lips. Misaki blushed, as he smiled. "So…that's a yes?" she stuttered.

Kuroko laughed a little, as Hyuuga yelled for them to get ready. She got up as Kuroko went over to Kagami and Kiyoshi. "Kiyoshi-sempai, Kagami-kun." He called out. "Both Mursakibara-kun and Himuro-san are strong. It won't be easy matter to beat them. But I don't believe you lose. Please mince them to pieces." He said, as he held out both of his fists to them.

"Hell Yeah! Like I'd lose." Grumbled Kagami.

"Mince the huh? Nice." Said Kiyoshi, as he and Kagami returned the favour. "Leave it us!" they both said. Misaki smiled as she coughed. Her body was getting warmer but not fast enough. She had taken some medicine already and she hoped it would last for a while. She tied her hair into a pony tail, as she got serious. Mitobe placed a hand on her shoulders, as she looked at him. Mitobe stared at her intensely, as Misaki shook her head. He sighed through his nose, silently and hoped for the best.

Right after the announcement came on, both teams charged.

"They pulled Tetsu out." Said Aomine.

"And this… triangle two!" said Momoi. Her eyes caught a certain player as she gasped. "Misaki-chan!" said Momoi.

Izuki begun to guard Fukui, as he had the ball in his hand. As he moved left and right, he managed to throw the ball past Izuki and right into Himuro's hands. Misaki narrowed her eyes as she looked at Kagami and then at Himuro.

"SORRy TO KEEP YOU WAITING…NOW WE CAN GO ALL OUT. TATSUYA!" yelled Kagami.

"Nice eyes. I'm relieved. Looks like you were serious about what you said before the match." Said Himuro. "BUT I'M THE ONE WHO'S GOING TO WIN. TAIGA!"

So it's finally time…huh? Thought Misaki, as she bit her lip.
