Special Chapter 001

They were losing. It was simply an amazing feat itself since it had never in their wildest dreams had they thought it could happen but they could not afford to be amazed and allow their opponent to win. They simply could not let that happen because losing means that they have to do training from the list of one evil witch. Some of those list included fifty laps of running around the school grounds while carrying a basket full of basketballs over their heads, being left in an isolated island that has no tree that gives that person no choice but to swim from that island back to anywhere that has civilization or starving to death, and the most cruel of all- though only for some of them- sending your crush your most embarrassing or scandalous photo that you thought you had burned and hidden but it was unburied from I-knew-I-flushed-that-picture-down-the-toilet-before.

"Please, we need the first string!" One of them pleaded. They could not lose! "Anyone from the Generation of Miracles could do!"

All the third strings had agreed and started to ask Momoi who was currently the Teiko boys' basketball team third strings' manager. She was at home doing her assignment when she got a call from her asking if she could be the manager for the third strings' playoff against their rival school in the upcoming district meet. Stupidly, she accepted and now she was there sitting with them instead of watching her present crush practice his basketball. Momoi grabbed a folded newspaper and hit the player that started her headache whom was named Seito.

"Ah. That's bad Momoi-chan." The evil witch of Teiko said in her oh so wonderful voice like that of a siren that made the third string players quickly forget about their ire and fear and maybe, somehow they were also rejuvenated. The evil witch was wearing her wavy and bouncy black hair in a high ponytail. She's also wearing a huge taupe overcoat and- is that rubber shoes?

"Ojou-chan! I thought you weren't coming?" Momoi asked, genuinely confused. She really thought that the other girl was torturing the first string since the interschool competition was only three weeks away. The other girl was really good at instilling fear but also bringing the players past their limits. She once made that daunting P.E teacher wet his pants. There was also that one time where she befriended the plainest girl of their school and made her into a popular next-in-line for Queen Bee. She's a strange person capable of cruelty and kindness.

"Nah. I just have to finish some preparations." The other girl replied cheekily. She then turned to the third strings both those playing and benched.

All of them gulped when her eyes focused on them. What does she want? Why the heck is the evil witch even there? Why is she so beautiful and friendly and scary? And shit why is is she pointing on the sitting area across them?

Seated there on the front, second and third rows were girls. All of them beautiful and damn, why are their crushes there?! And &$)! There on the banister of the seating area hung a tarp that wrote:

WIN=DATE

All expenses paid.

"All expenses paid?" Momoi asked increndously. And no, that high pitch voice does not belong to her, hopefully.

The third string quieted down and listened closely to the witch. Who were they supposed to date? Most of them saw their crushes on the sitting area. And it was only because some of them were pinning after the witch or one of their managers.

"They've agreed to date them," the beautiful and oh so kind witch said while reading the data reports of their opponent on Momoi's notebook. Why is she not taking off that overcoat? It is already warm season so why is she wearing it?

The acting captain of the third string, Raiu, who was busy trying to calm his rapidly beating heart at the arrival of the witch, stared. He is one of those unfortunate souls that dared to harbor a crush on her. "What about those who are not there?"

Ojou-sama hummed and stared at him and those whom she knew had a feeling of attraction towards her. "The coach agreed to allow the officers to some time off to date the varsity players who improved the most."

"Okay! Third String!" The troublesome player who was unluckily named Seito called. "We have to win this thing!"

Just then, the timer for the time out went off and the five players who were playing made their way again to the court.

Seeing them driven to win, Momoi pulled their ojou-sama to the side and asked her who would pay for the dates' expenses. To which the other girl pulled out a small folder from the inside of her overcoat.

"Is this-?" Momoi asked and then gasped. From inside the folder were photos of the first strings down to the third string, most of those in the photos were the popular ones. And the photos were beautifully taken too.

"Shuzo, Seijuro, Atsushi, Daiki, Shintaro and Ryota."

"Huh?"

"They're the best sellers though the most popular is Ryota so his pictures get sold out right after we put them on sale."

"How? Why? I-"

"I wonder if Tetsu's photos would even sell. You might be the only one who would buy them Momoi-chan." Their resident witch murmured ignoring the fact that the person she's conversing with was red faced from embarrassment or anger one would never know. "Besides, how do you think the basketball club maintains everything? So, do you want to buy Tetsu's limited edition pics? I have a few of them here."

"You can't do that!" Momoi whispered indignantly. "What about their privacy and-"

"I can do so, Momoi-chan. What they don't know would not hurt them. They'll all forgive me instantly. It comes with the perks of being the muse, you know?"

"But you're not a muse! You're the overall team manager! Since when did you become the muse?!"

"Last night."

And just like that, the third strings won the game.

-End

A/n: I don't know what to name my OC o.O

Ahh one of the reasons Teiko's men's basketball members have a love/hate relationship with the witch.
