An orange ball in one hand. A bottle of water on the other. Yellow sport bibs for their team. 3E girls walked onto the court for their basketball match. Their story started a few weeks ago when Koro-sensei had an inquiry. "Oh, the sports festival is here. But why is Class E not on the list?"
"End Class doesn't get to enter the tournaments, Koro-sensei", Mimura said. "Instead, we play in the exhibition games". Lions surround the baseball fields. "The boys play baseball". They also surround the basketball court. "The girls play basketball".
Kayano shuddered. Manami looked at her friend. Apparently, Class A girls who are on the basketball team have big boobs. She is sure to be angered once she sees them.
The girls gathered after school to discuss strategies. Kataoka writes on the board. Nakamura sighed. "Even with these strategies, there is no way we could win".
"Yeah, with Bitch-sensei as our coach, I'm not too hyped up", Yada groaned.
"I heard that", Bitch-sensei screamed. She's clutching a book; How to basketball. "It's just some stupid sport with some stupid ball passing and a hook".
"A perfect coach for a perfect team", Nakamura sighed.
"Come on guys. We can figure something out", Kataoka said. "Nakamura, you know pretty much about the team since you announced some of their matches before, right?"
Nakamura mused. "Now that you say that.."
=itl=
Class A has the ball. Their ace shooter, Shiomi Rei, aims for a layup. She utilised Fuwa and Nakamura's backs. She scores.
Class E has the ball. Their team runs to the opposite hoop. Yet a big and tall girl stops them in their tracks. That is Tsurugi Tomi. She passed to another defender, Utsugi Shinobu. She passed to another shooter.
Haku Nozomi, she was also about to do a layup but Fuwa stopped her on her tracks. A whistle sounded. Haku passed to their captain, Asahi Koko. She made a three point shot. Victory smiles on their faces. This is the strength of the team who won the middle school champions, is what Nakamura said in class.
"Not bad, for a team that is going to fail", Asahi said. Nakamura looked at her. She smiled. "Well, I wouldn't be too sure about that".
She passed the ball swiftly to a brown orange haired girl in pigtails. She got surrounded by the Class A team. Hayami made a faint. She passed the ball to Kurahashi. She scored.
Class A quickly runs to the opposite hoop. "Plan 1; sweet secrets", Nakamura said. "Oh, Shiomi-san. I heard you have that brand new luxury bag that's coming out this Fall. Mind if you tell me?"
"Nakamura-san. Not now", Shiomi said. She grips the ball.
"Oh, but you once said that your parents can cut your spending money if they find you bought another one and you didn't tell them about this because it's the 20th time", Nakamura chimed.
Shiomi grumbled. "Alright, if you really want to know".
Fuwa grabs her ball. She passed it to Hara. Hara comes face to face with Tsurugi and Utsugi. "My, I bet you didn't know about this. It's kind of awkward, but Utsugi-san, I saw Tsurugi-san was on a date with your brother this weekend".
"You did what?" Utsugi faced Tsurugi. Hara passed the two girls and scored. "I thought I told you. Dating my brother is gross".
Both Utsugi and Tsurugi couldn't sync their defences. Hara caught up to them when they tried to cross the half line. "And guess what, they kissed in public".
"You monster", Utsugi comes at Tsurugi's throat. Hara got the ball. She passed it to Hayami. She scored.
=itl=
The quarter time break came. Fuwa and Hazama bumped fist. She sits beside her. Hara takes out a bottle from the duffel bag in front of them.
"Y-you did great o-out there, Hara-san", Manami beamed.
"Thank you", she said as she drank her bottle.
"It's a shame we couldn't swap you now and keep you for the second half", Kayano sighed.
"Yeah, what can we do?" Nakamura shrugged. "They saw through our number and gave us some half baked rules. The End Class should play to show your strengths. We couldn't even have the same players for the first and second half".
"And I'm sorry I couldn't play with you guys", Ritsu pops up Kayano's phone.
"It's okay, Ritsu", Kayano said.
"Yeah, don't worry", Kurahashi said. "Thanks to the info digging Nakamura-chan did and the gossiping skills Bitch-sensei taught us, we might be able to win".
=itl=
The aces of Class A switched places. The girls said, "I won't be ruled by your gossip". Hazama chuckles. "Are you sure about that?"
Class A girls have the upper hand again. Nakamura said, "Plan 2; fright fest".
Hayami whispered to the defender, "Did you know that if you eat at midnight while studying for a test, you will gain 1 kg and you could never lose it?" She scores a shot.
Hazama whispered to the shooter, "Can you imagine this face with the name Kirara?" She passed it to Kurahashi. She scores a shot.
=itl=
The first half ends. Kayano reads the scores. "We're tied with Class A".
"This is the first time in history", Kataoka gasped.
"But I'm not really sure if we'd win", Yada said. "I mean, the strategy is working now. But what if it wears out?"
"Yada-chan, you're too pessimistic", Nakamura pats her back.
"Weren't you pessimistic as well?" Yada said.
Nakamura chuckled. "Don't worry. You got miss class rep here to guide you now".
=itl=
"Am I seeing things right?" one of the Class A girls said.
"No way. A high score at the start of the game?" another Class A girl said.
Kataoka swished her ponytail to the back. She made a three point shot. She runs back to her teammates. "Kanzaki-san, follow me. Yada-san. Hinata. Get ready".
"Yes, ma'am", the three girls said. Class A formed a two person shooting squad. They passed their balls in front of Kanzaki.
"Kanzaki-san, I heard", the Class A girl smirked. "Sugino-kun is peeing in his pants in the baseball game. He couldn't handle Shindou-kun's brilliance".
Kanzaki smiled. She placed her hand on the ball. The Class A girl gasped. "I don't know how much you know about Sugino-kun or any one of my classmates in 3E. But if they set their goal into something, they work hard for it". She passed the ball to Okano.
Okano did a layup. She shoots.
"Yada-san" the Class A defender chimed. "Aren't you tired of being watched by people because of your body?"
Yada swiped the ball. "Well, yeah. Usually I would blush. But I'm thankful that people compliment me for my beauty". She scored a shot.
Class A increased their defences. Their centre moves through the teams of possible shooters. One of the girls managed a layup. They scored.
"Looks like the time is almost up now and we scored again", the centre said. "Wait for the final round and be crushed by the Ace of Class A".
Kataoka managed to get a ball. She went for a shoot. The Class A defender gasped. "From that distance?"
"Wait, how did she get the ball?" the Class A centre said. She looks at a twin braided girl beside Kataoka, wiping her sweat. "That girl, was she in the game at all?"
Kataoka's ball made it past the defender. It was short on the hoop. "No", the class rep whimpered.
"You couldn't score after all", the Class A defender mused. She smirked at Kataoka. She didn't look back and see that a twin braided girl went past her. The girl did a layup. The orange ball flew through the air. Manami scored. The timer went off. The Class A team gasped. Never before in history has the End Class beat the Ace Class.
=itl=
"Okuda-chan, you did great back there", Hara hugged her.
"T-Thank you", Manami blushed.
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't score at the end", Kataoka said. "Me and my big mistake".
"Don't sell yourself short, captain", Nakamura patted her shoulders. "You were able to score in the beginning".
"Thanks, captain", Kataoka said.
Kanzaki fist bumped Kayano. "Good luck".
=itl=
The finals begin. It was tense. Class A was so sure they would win since the Ace team will play but they are not sure. Asahi counts their earlier loss. Another girl wears the Ace team uniform.
"What happened to Tsurugi-san?" Kataoka said. "Shouldn't you be upholding your condition? Only Ace team basketball members play?"
"Oh, excuse me, Kataoka-san. I think you forgot to count that basketball teams have more than five players", Asahi said. "Meet our sixth member, Matsuda Riri".
A girl with bigger boobs than Yada turns around. Her curvaceous body adorns the school's red basketball jersey well. "I will be the defender and she will be the centre. Any objections?" Asahi said. "Ah, but under our school rules, you can't say no to us, can you?"
Kataoka seethed. She turns back to her team members. "Girls, let's play".
Manami looked at Kayano. Her green haired friend smiled. "I'm okay, Okuda-san. Don't worry about me".
As soon as the game started, Matsuda and Shiomi tagged Kataoka. Kataoka feinted her jump and passed the ball to Manami. Manami passed the ball to Yada. They scored.
Utsugi and Asahi passed the ball to each other. They passed the ball to Shiomi. Kayano caught the ball. She passed it to Manami. Manami sprinted across the court and did a layup. She scored.
Asahi looked at Matsuda. They both nod at each other. "Plan A; bounce back".
Kataoka did the three point stance. Asahi smiled at her. "Look at you go, class rep. I hope your shoot makes it". Kataoka freezes. Asahi swiped the ball. She passed the ball to Haku. They scored.
Sometime later, Shiomi got the ball. Kayano defended in front of the hoop. Shiomi snickered. "Oh, you're short and you have no chest". Kayano gasped. She looked at Shiomi's voluptuous ones. They are not as big as Yada's but they are visible. A score for Class A.
"Curse you big boob bimbo", Kayano screamed. Shiomi runs out the court.
Manami passed to Okano. Okano passed to Yada. Yada was guarded by Asahi and Utsugi. She smiled. She passed back to Manami.
"Say, Okuda-san", Matsuda said from behind. "I heard you like Science, so I will let you in on something". She leaned into her ears. "Have you ever seen a blackhole? If you haven't, you can't prove it's real".
Manami bounced the ball. She never saw a black hole so that must mean. Matsuda received the ball. Kayano blocked Matsuda's advances. "No one messes with my friend and gets away with it". Matsuda passed the ball to Shiomi. Shiomi did a feint. Matsuda layup. She scored.
A few minutes later, the Ace basketball team scored a lot of points. Kayano rose up from her fall. "No way. Are they-?"
"They're doing the same thing as Megu-chan", Yada said.
"Stop them", Okano runs. She and Manami almost reached Asahi's place.
Asahi smiled. "Too slow".
The three point shot was made. The bell rang. The timer has stopped. The game ended. Class A cheered for their Ace team. They jeered at Class E's loss.
=itl=
The basketball court was empty. The End Class girls lied on the floor. Bitch-sensei approached them. "Girls. After defeat, you shouldn't be moping around doing nothing".
"Yeah, it's not like I asked to be defeated by big boobs", Kayano sighed. She bowed her head. "I'm sorry, girls".
Fuwa laughed. The girls looked at her. Kanzaki taps her shoulder. "Fuwa-san. Please don't laugh on your own".
"Sorry", she said. "I just found something funny".
"What is it?" Kanzaki said.
She sits up. "When Matsuda-san blocked Okuda-san, she should have said; Wow, I found Kuroko's long lost sister". She laughs again.
"What kind of humour is this?" the girls said. Kataoka also laughed. The girls turned around.
"Megu-chan is okay, right?" Kurahashi said.
"We'll get them next time, Megu", Okano said.
"Yes and you've also scored many points during the game", Ritsu pops up in Kayano's phone. She pulls up the full statistics of Kataoka's match performance.
She wipes her tears. "Sorry, and thank you. No, I'm okay. It's just that I remembered how Asahi-san looked at the start of the Finals. She looked scared".
Hazama chuckled. "And at that fright fest time. I'm pretty confident with my own Kirara stunt but Hayami's is pretty frightening on its own".
"Thanks", Hayami said. A tint blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Being fat is not a sin, you know", Hara puffed out.
"I'm sorry, Hara", Hayami said.
"I'm happy to pull out stunts with you lot", Nakamura said. She fist bumped each girl. "Let's do this again sometime. We'll be playing as rivals, but who cares?"
"Bring it on", Okano smiled.
Bitch-sensei shouted, "That's the spirit, girls".
"What are you talking about, Bitch-sensei?" Yada said. "You didn't even help with a thing".
"Yeah, we got down and pulled ourselves back on our own", Kayano said.
"A coach should be cheering us in the game but all you did was text Karasuma-sensei", Kurahashi pouted.
"That was work related", Bitch-sensei screamed.
=itl=
The sports tournament ended. Group 4 just happened to walk by together. Kanzaki approached Sugino, "I'm glad you boys won the game". Sugino blushed and chuckled.
"What about you girls?" Nagisa said. "How did it go?"
"Well, let's just say we win a bond rather than winning a game", Kanzaki said.
"Kanzaki-san. Okuda-san. I'm sorry. I let that player get into my head", Kayano lowers her head.
"It's alright, Kayano-san", Kanzaki said.
"I-I think you have done that plenty of times. N-no need to apologise", Manami said.
"What? Did someone pick on you, Kayano-chan?" Karma chimed.
"Yeah, she told me I'm flat chested and that she's got big boobs. And that she scored one over me", Kayano sighed.
"Oh, could that girl be Shiomi-chan?" Karma mused.
"Yeah, that's her name. How did you know?" Kayano said.
He chuckled. "I fight with her all the time".
"You mean she's a delinquent?" Kayano gasped.
"Yeah, if you want, I'm planning to pull in some fishies this summer with Nagisa-kun and Sugino. Would you like to join us as well?" Karma said.
"Pull us out of it", Nagisa screamed.
"We want nothing to do with it", Sugino screamed.
Manami and Kanzaki looked at each other. The green haired girl is still looking at him with hope. "Ka-Kayano-san. Karma-kun. I-I have special coupons".
Kayano gasped. "You got coupons for that high-end sweet shop?"
"Yes, m-my dad gave them to me. H-he said t-to go there.. with.. f-friends", Manami said. Her face beetroot red.
"Aw, what did you say, Okuda-san?" Karma chimed. He pulled out his ear buds. "Sorry, I was listening to music. Me and Kayano-chan will discuss our revenge tactics in a café. That okay with you?"
"I-I, but you guys are. You're my.." friends. "So I-"
"Kidding", he stuck out his tongue. "Okay, Okuda-san. Lead us to the sweet shop".
"Let's go before the sun's down", Kayano chimed. His devil horns and demonic expression is still there. They walked down the road.
"Karma-kun teased Okuda-san too much", Nagisa sighed.
"Okuda, are you alright?" Sugino checked her face. The girl hunched her back for a few seconds. She shot back up.
"Karma-kun. Kayano-san", Manami screamed. Her glasses glinted. "T-that's the wrong way".
It was Okano Hinata's birthday on 2nd April. Happy birthday Okano-san!
And I want to say that for this week, I will upload chapter 12 and chapter 13 that starts off the summer stories. For next week, I will be taking a one month break to sort out the next few chapters. I will post the exact date in the next chapter of when I will return. This is a chapter on the girls' basketball team that is full of Kuroko no Basket references hehe.
