Monoma was training along with some of his classmates in the school's training grounds when he saw a familiar girl. The black haired Kuroo Koneko was easily detectable, wearing a black tank top and black yoga pants.

"Oh? Lover girl! What a pleasant surprise to see you here!" His loud voice announced, and his classmates turned to look at the girl in question.

Koneko flinched as several eyes went on her. She glared at Monoma for announcing her presence, but quickly faltered when her eyes met her crush's curious gaze. Koneko's heart beat quickened as her face reddened from a blush.

"Oho? I'm talking to you here!" Monoma's face appeared in front of her, blocking the view of her crush. Koneko's eye twitched and her fangs glinted.

"Get away from me, you freak!" Koneko shoved Monoma's face away from her face roughly. The boy fell down on the floor, clutching his cheek in disbelief. He had a crazed look on his face.

"Nice to see someone putting Monoma on his place," a pretty girl with orange hair chuckled as she saw the twitching form of Monoma on the floor. She walked in front of Koneko and held out her hand.

"I'm Kendo Itsuka, I'm sorry for Monoma over there." Koneko, liking the girl already, instantly shook hands with her and gave her a smile.

"I'm Kuroo Koneko. It's an honor to meet you, Kendo-senpai!" Koneko bowed. Itsuka bowed politely as well. She leaned closer to the younger girl to whisper something in her ear,

"A tip, just karate-chop him on the neck if he ever gets annoying."

Koneko blinked. She remembered she saw Kaibara-senpai did it once back then when the two fought.

"Ah, it's his weak spot?" Koneko grinned and her eyes evilly glinted. She looked down on the ground to see Monoma who had a fake smile on.

"Just you wait, one day I will get my revenge!" He pointed at Koneko and went stomping away. Koneko just rolled her eyes and clicked her tounge. She turned to look back to Itsuka who had an amused look on her face.

"I feel bad for you, Kendo-senpai. That guy is a lot to handle."

"You'll get used to it." Itsuka shrugged and then added, "He's not actually that bad."

Koneko raised an eyebrow at that sentence in shock and disbelief. Her eyes followed the blonde in question, scanning him up and down just trying to find his redeeming point.

It was actually their third time meeting, each one being unpleasant and always ending up with the two bantering like cat and mouse. When they first met Koneko had already disliked Monoma's personality. Her accidentally confessing to him was like a stroke to his ego, and when she quickly fixed the misunderstanding, the guy turned passive-aggresive, as if he doesn't want to admit the event was like a blow to his pride.

Kaibara Sen is way more of a better guy than him.

"Irritating, stupid, dumb, noisy, psychotic, jerk--" Koneko grumpily mumbled.

"Um, are you here to train, Kuroo-chan?" Itsuka asked nicely, sweatdropping at Koneko's mumbles. Koneko quickly turned around with a smile.

"Oh, yes, Kendo-senpai!"

Itsuka sweatdropped, but put on a smile of her own.

"Would you like to train together with me? I could use a sparring partner!" Itsuka offered. Koneko's eyes gleamed in happiness.

"I would love to!"
