Classes weren't all that interesting, then again, Hitomi didn't pay much attention in the classes either. There was a feeling of dread in her stomach, from what she didn't know. She wasn't hungry, because she had been munching on snacks all day. She didn't know what it was, and it was worrying her.

'Maybe I'm getting sick?' She thought to herself. 'Yeah, that's probably it.' She hummed quietly as she walked down the hall to the basketball court. She opened the doors to the basketball court, seeing Kagami and a few students already there.

"Kagami-kun!" She grinned at him, a large smile on her face.

"Hey, Usagi-chan." He smiled slightly back at her, looking around. "Has the coach talked to you yet? She was looking for you."

"Oh, I'll go find her." She nodded and slung her bag over her shoulder.

"She went to the principal's office!" He yelled after her. She gave him a thumbs up and walked out of the gym. She walked to the principal's office, peeking in to see Riko talking to him. She sat in a nearby chair and waited. Students passed, some looking at her, others just ignoring her presence. Hitomi pulled out her phone and texted her mom.

*'Waiting for the Basketball coach to tell me what's up. ~H~'* She sent the message, the corners of her mouth turning up in the slightest bit. Her mom and her had always had a close relationship. Her dad and her were close too, but he's almost never home. Her Dad loves her Mom and her a lot, and works really hard to keep them safe and funded. Hitomi's parents have been together for a really long time. Her phone chimed softly and she opened it.

*'Alright, Tell me what happens Babygirl.'* A smile broke across her face at the text. Her Mom was the most supportive person she knew.

*'I will. ~H~'*

"Ah, Usagi-chan, how long were you waiting?" Riko asked her. Hitomi stood and grabbed her bag.

"Not long, Kagami-kun said you wanted to talk to me." They both walked down the hall.

"Yeah." Riko smiled. "The Principle said that it's up to me. That I should evaluate your skillset before I let you play in any official games."

"Awesome!" Hitomi grinned.

"So you need to change, Come on, I'll make sure none of the boys peek at you." They walked into the locker room. Hitomi took off her uniform and changed into gym shorts and a tank top, to go under her practice jersey.

'Her numbers are pretty high in her legs, but the rest is average...I wonder if she's a runner?' Riko thought, tilting her head a bit as she looked at her.

"Ah…Riko-san?" Hitomi asked shyly, wondering why the older girl was staring at her.

"Oh, sorry!" Riko scratched the back of her head sheepishly. "Let's go out now, Neh?"

"Right!" She followed Riko out, standing in line by Kagami. She nudge him with her arm, a happy smile on her face. Kagami rolled his eyes at the same time Riko shouted.

"Boys, take off your shirts!" Hitomi blushed and looked at the floor while the men took off their shirts. She kept her eyes down while Riko checked their numbers. She heard their shirts being put back on and looked up and around. "So that's everyone right?"

"Riko, where's Kuroko?"

'Kuroko? As in Kuroko Tetsuya from Teikou?' Her eyes widened. 'That's the boy I ran into earlier!' She spaced out, thinking. 'He's part of the Generation of Miracles, isn't he? I didn't really talk to him much. But, that means he knows Kise-kun...'

"Usagi-chan!" Kagami snapped his fingers in front of her face. She flinched, looking up at him. "Practice is over."

"WAAA?"

"Relax!" Kagami rubbed his ear. "We didn't do much after the Kuroko scare." She nodded. "Want to come get some burgers with me at Maji burger?"

"Maybe next time, I've got to get home. My mom's made dinner." She smiled. "Hey, maybe tomorrow after practice you can come to my house for dinner. You live alone right? My mom wouldn't mind."

"Err…Sure, I mean, free food right?" He scratched the back of his head.

"Yeah!"

"Alright, we can walk home together then." She nodded.

"I'll see you tomorrow Kagami-kun!" She grabbed her bag and jogged home.

_Yuuki_

Yuuki sighed as she walked into the gym again. She felt like this was going to be a habit for her every morning. Her eyes narrowed, when the same blue-haired man from yesterday was in there, napping in the middle of the floor. She rolled her eyes and let her basketball drop, dribbling to the hoop. She was hoping she would wake him up. She did a layup and ran dribbled to the other side, doing another one. She kept this up until she was almost out of breath.

"Oooooi." The man groaned, sitting up. He looked around, glaring at Yuuki.

"What? I didn't know you owned this place. I don't see your name on it." She snapped, looking back to the basket to shoot a free throw. She made it in with ease and went to grab the ball. Aomine grumbled and got up.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

"Well shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

"Aomine Daiki. Now answer my questions."

"I'm Tae Yuuki. And I'm playing basketball...what else?" He rolled his eyes and held his hand out for the ball. She shot him a strange look.

"Play me in a one-on-one." She thought for a moment.

"Sure, why not." She tossed him the ball. They got ready in the middle. He tossed the ball in the air and she jumped up, grabbing it before he could. She dribbled slowly, watching him carefully. 'I have to get past him.' She faked him and ran past, he was faster than her though, and was soon in front of her again. "Holy crap man!" She grinned and tried to get past him again. They ended up playing for a few hours, when Yuuki's phone rang.

"Oh, Crap! What time is it?!"

"11:30. Why?"

"Uh, I don't know...SCHOOL?"

"Hey, we're busy!" He yelled as she picked up her phone.

"Busy with what? YUUKI WAS THAT A GUY?" Hitomi yelled.

"We're playing basketball, just...playing basketball. Why are you calling me?" She sat down.

"To see if you were in school."

"I probably still would have answered." Yuuki scoffed.

"Yeah, Probably."

"What do you need Hitomi?"

"Are you coming back this weekend?" She asked quietly. "I miss you." Yuuki smiled softly, dribbling her basketball. Aomine watched her with confused eyes.

"Yeah, I'll be back this weekend. I miss you too."

"Good! I'll have Mom make your favorite! Love you!" Hitomi hung up. Yuuki laughed and looked at Aomine.

"Was that your boyfriend?" He asked.

"So what if it was?"

"It doesn't really matter."

"It wasn't. It was my best friend."

"Oh." Yuuki shook her head, still dribbling.

"We should probably get to school." She said, wiping her forehead with her shirt.

"Momoi will take notes for me."

"Yeah, But I don't have someone who'll do that."

"Sucks for you."

"Rude!" She tucked her basketball under the bleachers. Aomine chuckled, rolling his eyes. She waved to him and walked out, planning on how she was going to sneak into her classroom.
