Derp. Short chapter. Got lazy. Sorry if it's boring.
Chapter 14: February 14th. See what I did there? :D
"Basketball. I have a basketball game today."
Eve didn't know how she wound up, sitting on a bench, wearing a basketball jersey, and watching Elesis shoot hoops on a basketball court with about 9 other players.
Flashback...
"Eve, someone from my basketball team is sick today. Can you fill in for us?" Elesis stopped Eve in the hallways as she walking to her next class. Eve turned to Elesis.
"Why should I? I'm horrible at sports, anyways." Eve replied, focusing on getting to her next class and starting to walk away.
"Eve, please! You're the only one I can ask!" Elesis stepped in front of her.
Elesis held up her five fingers. "Aisha plays soccer," She lifted one down, "Rena plays tennis, Ara does martial arts... And you're the only one I can ask!" She exclaimed, still holding up two fingers. Eve put her arm down for her.
"I refuse." Eve remarked. Elesis reached for her claymore. In the middle of a busy hallway in school.
"Eve..." Elesis started to draw her sword out.
Eve turned her head back to look at Elesis. "Fine. Don't blame me if we lose the game."
Elesis sighed, then put her sword back where it belonged. She waved at Eve and yelled to her, "Thank you so much! You're our savior!"
Eve rolled her eyes. This was going to be a long day...
Back to reality...
Elesis got in a position to shoot, but Eve caught her attention. She stood up normally, and stared at Eve.
"Eve, aren't you going to practice?" Elesis asked, holding the ball in both her hands.
"No." Eve replied, playing with her jersey. Elesis shot her a look of death. Eve stood up at once and walked over to Elesis.
"What would you like me to do?" Eve asked, irritated. Elesis handed her the ball.
"Shoot a three pointer." Eve looked at her as if she had no idea what the heck that was.
Elesis pointed to the place closest to the large circle, but outside of it. "Shoot from right there." Eve walked over to where she pointed.
Eve bent down, gripped the ball in her hands, then jumped up and let the ball fly in the air. It easily missed.
Elesis looked back at her in disappointment. Eve shrugged.
"Here, watch me." Elesis said as she went over, grabbed the ball, then stood where Eve stood. She shot the ball into the air, and it fell through the hoop.
"That's how you do it." Elesis said, jogging over and retrieving the ball. She then handed it to Eve.
Eve tried again, and this time, it was a perfect shot with a perfect form.
"Amazing..." Elesis muttered in awe, her eyes widened in surprise.
Just then, the coach blew the whistle. Eve and Elesis' heads shot around.
"Alright, everyone! The game is starting! Positions, positions!" She yelled. Elesis hit Eve's elbow with her's. "Come on." Elesis said quietly. Eve nodded and followed her.
"I want that brain of yours to know exactly how to play this game." Elesis said, patting Eve's head and smiling. Eve rubbed the top of her head.
"Tip off!" The coach shouted, then threw the ball in the air. The two starters hopped in the air, and the enemy team hit the ball.
It flew through the air and into another player's hands. She dribbled the ball and ran forward, but stopped as Elesis jumped in front of her.
The player twisted around, trying to find an opening, but Elesis's senses were sharp. The player passed, but Elesis stole the ball.
She ran away from their basket, but to the other team's. Stopping suddenly at the three-pointer line, she shot. The ball fell through the hoop.
Eve's team was in the lead
5 minutes later...
"We're making good progress." Elesis remarked as she looked at the scoreboard. 18:10.
"Yes, I suppose." Eve replied.
At the end of the final quarter...
The score was tied. There was 10 seconds left in the game. Eve held the ball in her hands.
As she rushed forward, fast as lightning, all the players on the other team tried to stop her.
She made it to the three-pointer line, and shot a fadeway.
"What? There's no way..."
The ball hit the rims and bounced off, but before it could hit the ground, Elesis jumped in the air and slam dunked it in.
"ALLEY-OOP!"
The buzzer sounded, and everyone on Elesis' team cheered.
"Nice, Eve!" Elesis and Eve traded high fives.
Eve followed Elesis as they walked to their bench. Eve watched as Elesis picked up a book and she started to walk away.
"Elesis, what's that?" Eve asked. Elesis stopped in her tracks and looked down at her KagamixKuroko yaoi book.
"Ah, this?" Elesis flashed one of her greatest smiles.
"It's basketball."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KUROKO TETSUYA!
Happy KagamixKuroko day! :D
