Author: Hello all again. *looks around at the empty room* Ah… I guess it can't be helped then, considering I took a long while in trying to at least update new chapters somehow. Anyways, I'm afraid this chapter will be short but once I get my Internet back, I'll be updating faster and longer chapters. For now, bear with me!

"This is the lockers so feel free to use them but please keep it clean. It's already a pain up the ass to clean the locker room everyday." Amane said as he stood at the entrance of the locker room while the Seirin team filed in. Amane waited until the last three people filed in before stepping in Natsumi's path who narrowed his eyes in question, though to others it would seem he was annoyed by the action.
"What is it that you want, Amane-kun?" Natsumi questioned as he crossed his arms over his chest as he stared down at the silent man in front of him. He was taller than Amane by half an inch but he still needed to look down to be eye-leveled with the other.
"Natsumi-kun knows what I want," Amane said and he exhaled a silent sigh. "it's a shame I have to go against Natsumi-kun here and also at the Interhigh."
"I'd say it's just how life is." Natsumi replied. Amane narrowed his eyes in which caught Natsumi off-guard, though he didn't show it, and said nothing for ten seconds before opening his mouth again.
"Then how is winning? Natsumi-kun should know the answer to that." Amane said, leaning against the wall but still kept his eyes on Natsumi who scowled at the question.
"Winning does not mean anything to me, Amane-kun. Back then was just a slip-up of my phase and I regret ever using it." Natsumi replied calmly and he raised a delicate eyebrow at the expression Amane was showing, one of mock.
"A slip-up, is it? Natsumi-kun sure knows how to make up excuses and get away with it-."
"What do you know, first of all? You don't know of my condition and I will dare cut my tongue off just to keep it that way. Did I asked to be naturally talented? No, I haven't but it was given to me as a gift and I am both proud and resentful of it. Don't assume things that aren't true, Amane-kun." Natsumi said with a low voice. Amane could note a warning tone in it but was unfazed by it either way.
"I'm not one trying to get under your skin, Natsumi-kun. Just plainly stating something." Amane shrugged. "Besides, Seigarou-kun has been waiting for this moment and I'm curious to know Natsumi-kun's reaction to that?"
"My reaction you say… I'm not surprised at the turn of events, I give you that." Natsumi paused. "Also, I'm not really worried about the others as well. My only worries are on Kanou-kun."
"Natsumi-kun is mean, only having eyes for Kanou-kun." Amane shrugged again, as if it didn't really bothered him at all. Probably Seigarou would but not him. He didn't actually had a close connection with the violette since both of them seem like negative ends of two magnets, just talking only when needed to. "I had thought Natsumi-kun cared for Roro-kun than Kanou-kun. Or is it because Natsumi-kun cared for the both but chose Kanou-kun instead?"
"That would make me seem like a prick. Besides, Roro-kun is not of my concern anymore after our final game." Natsumi said dangerously low to the point that the Seirin team, who were watching the two of them, flinch at the sudden change in temperature and a blood-curling shiver run down their spines when a sudden cold wind swept past them. Amane noticed this but remained impassive, although he felt a bit intimidated under those golden orbs which dulled after the words left the violette's mouth.
"Is that so? Roro-kun has been getting a bit strange lately, dunno why since I don't even know him like Kanou-kun or Natsumi-kun does but I've seen him looking a bit out of place." Amane said, waiting for Natsumi to respond and also see what reaction would he put up. But of course, Amane knew that Natsumi is a difficult individual to read when it came in matters people wanted him to react and it doesn't surprise Amane but it did kind of gave him a shiver.
"He was strange to begin with." Natsumi said, dropping his bag on the bleachers and unzipped his school's jacket, revealing him already in his jersey. "What makes this any different?"
"Dunno, he just stood out like a sore thumb I guess?" Amane raised an eyebrow. "Although I did heard that his mother was in the hospital after an car accident, must be why he's that way."
At this, both Kuroko and Kagami noticed a slight change in attitude on Natsumi. Natsumi didn't express anything but they could almost tell he was either curious or worried about what Amane just said. Natsumi exhaled a long sigh and crossed his arms again with less tension, making him seem like it was a drag to stay stern. "What else do you plan to spill?" Natsumi urged silently while Amane pondered a bit.
"He looks like a walking dead being. But that wasn't the only thing. What actually rendered me silent and shocked was the fact that he seem to be in school fights recently or so I was told by Seigarou-kun." Amane said.
"In fights?" Natsumi said incredulously, stunning his team from behind Amane. "That baka… What good would do him…" Natsumi glared at the wall beside him while Amane nodded in agreement.
"That's what I thought as well but since he's more close to you than to Kanou-kun, why don't you pay him a visit?" Amane suggested, this time, not sounding so robotic but sincere. Natsumi noticed but decided not to question it, knowing Amane was also a weird individual as well. "It's not like he'll keep you locked up or something, would he?"
"That's what I'm concerned though I wouldn't mind if that's the only option to keep him from being brutally beaten by his crazed father." Natsumi spat out the last part, turning to look at Amane who had his gaze on him with a knowing glint.
"I would suggest Natsumi-kun don't go but then again, Natsumi-kun's stubborn." Amane said, his monotone on again. Before Natsumi could say something, Seigarou appeared in the locker room, looking pissed once he spotted Amane against the wall with that bored face on. "Ah, I guess I took a lot of time talking with Natsumi-kun."
"This confrontation actually surprised me since you're not one to talk longer than usual with me but I'll let it pass." Natsumi said lowly in which Amane gave him a small glimpse of his rare smile before putting on his bored expression once Seigarou neared the two of them.
"The fucking Coach had almost had it when you suddenly disappeared, you damn asshole!" Seigarou growled as Amane shook his head.
"Ah, so Hanaka-sensei felt the need to send his Ceberus onto me to be satisfied? What a sadistic bastard indeed." Amane drawled out boredly, angering the red-head further.
"Shut the fuck up before I fucking smash your head against the wall!" Seigarou threatened. Amane glanced at Natsumi and smirked while said violette watched with boredom and amusement.
"Yeah, yeah. Say that when Seigarou-kun's away from Natsumi-kun's range, I miss does days of Natsumi-kun beating Seigarou-kun in basketball." With that, Amane pushed himself off the wall and patted Natsumi's shoulder before shoving past a short-tempered red-head and exited out of the locker room, not before saying "Oh, if Natsumi-kun happens to actually go visit Roro-kun, say my greetings to Roro-kun for me." And left.
"Roro…. So you're still with him?" Seigarou questioned, a brow raised while his anger faded away. Natsumi shrugged, not bothering to turn around, and sat himself on the bleacher to tie his shoes. "Aren't you putting your life at risk being near that guy?"
"That guy is Roro-kun and whatever happens between me and him, is none of your business Seigarou-kun." Natsumi said, checking the laces of his shoes before turning to look at Seigarou who had a mocking glint in his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah. Doesn't interest me either way. Be sure to be on your guard Natsumi." Seigarou turned on his heel and waved before exiting out, leaving a heavy silence in the locker room.
"Who was that anyway?" Kagami, being the BaKagami, decided to break the silence as the other members in the room held their breaths.
"Someone you shouldn't even consider as normal." Natsumi said blankly and stood up with his sports bag on his left shoulder. "I'll tell you more after the match or… when the time deems it, I guess…"
'Is Roro-kun someone special to Natsumi-kun?' Kuroko thought with a small frown no one took noticed.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
"Amane! Where have you gone?! The match is about to begin!" an thirty-four year old man with nicely combed-back hair, narrow-framed glasses and in a sports get-up, snapped at Amane who held up both hands in defense.
"I just went to greet a former teammate of mine, Hanaka-sensei."
"For a thirty minute talk?!"
"Soka…."
"I don't know what to do with you at times!" Hanaka growled as he turned away and faced the other members.
"He's always like that." One of the members, a brunette, spoke. "Nothing new."
"Yeah, don't make such a big deal." A tall and buff guy said.
"By the way, who were you talking to?" the same brunette questioned. Amane turned to him and was about to answer but a hand on his head stopped him.
"Someone new to the Seirin team." Seigarou said lowly as he pulled Amane back and stepped forward. "Someone you should be very aware."
"Sounds like we're going to face a lion." The brunette said with a mocking serious face in which it tick off Seigarou.
"Baka, worse than that." Seigarou growled lowly and a smirk pulled at his lips when he saw the confuse faces of his team. "You probably heard about him, so that's why be aware."
"Seigarou-kun says that and yet Seigarou-kun is going to provoke him." Amane mumbled lowly.
"It's payback time!" Seigarou smirked wildly.
"Quit chatting like fools and get out there!" Hanaka snapped. "Tsuchida! Cover the defense as planned! Seigarou, Amane, and Dotaka cover the offense with Reiner as mid-offense!"
"Hai!" the Tenkio team yelled out as they lined up at the center of the gym where the referee waited patiently. They didn't have to wait long as the Seirin team arrived looking awe-struck at the gym which sparkled with cleanliness.
"I admit, they have a nice gym." Hyuuga commented as he drop his bag on the benches provided, his teammates following suit. He turned to look at them and nodded before walking toward the other team with Izuki, Kagami, and Kiyoshi following behind him.
"Oi, you're slow." The Tenkio brunette drawled out in a bored tone once the Seirin members lined up.
"Now, now don't start Tsuchida, don't anger them." One of the Tenkio members said to the brunette.
"Don't defend them, Dota-kun." A tall, light brown-haired guy said from the bench.
"Masaomi even agrees.." Tsuchida sighed while the Seirin looked at them with anger and confusion.
"Oi! Shut the hell up!" Seigarou growled out and his team quieted down as the referee nodded but noticed a member missing in Seirin's group.
"Seirin team, please have your fifth member here." The referee said.
'As usual, the referee can't see Kuroko is right there…' the Seirin team thought and waited for said phantom to speak up but weren't prepared for the next unexpected moment.
"Ah, gomen. I'm here now." Who spoke up wasn't Kuroko but Natsumi himself!
'W-What the hell?!' Hyuuga thought, staring incredulously at the tall violette who seem unfazed by their reactions.
'This is indeed shocking…' Izuki thought with a sweatdrop at the back of his head as the others on the bench thought the same.
'I thought Kuroko-kun was going to start out with us…' Kiyoshi thought, affected by the sudden change.
'The hell? Why is he starting out with us? Didn't the Coach planned to use him later?' Kagami thought, looking at the violette, then glance at the opponents and he wanted to laugh outright if it weren't for the disturbing change in plans about their formation.
"N-No way… It can't be…" Tsuchida breathe out, staring at the violette in shock.
"Wait… A girl is allowed to play?" Reiner questioned, staring at the violette as well. "Well, a very attractive one that is."
The Seirin team were trembling as they tried to hold in their laughter while Natsumi's eyes darkened and a sinister smile pulled at his lips. Seigarou and Amane face-palmed at their team's stupid reactions, not wanting to look like fools in front of a dangerous dragon about to devour them.
"Bakas!" Seigarou growled out. "If you knew who he is, you wouldn't be saying those things!"
"Neh, gomen Natsumi-kun. " Amane spoke up, successfully silencing his team. "If it weren't for your hair length, they wouldn't be saying that but with shorter hair will still be the same."
"W-Wait… Natsumi? You mean 'that' Natsumi?!" Tsuchida asked, shocked.
"You're shitting us, aren't you Amane?" Reiner questioned, still stunned about the information given.
"Heh, if you're asking about him," Kagami spoke, pointing at Natsumi who still held a sinister smile in place. "he's actually Natsumi Suyanai."
"S-Seriously?!"
"They have Natsumi Suyanai?! I can't believe this!"
"Why would he go to their school?!"
Seigarou rolled his eyes at them but glanced at Natsumi. "Oi, this is the first time I'm ever seeing you start out first. Back then you were the last resort."
"I don't always play as the last resort, Seigarou-kun. That's not how my basketball works if you haven't noticed." Natsumi replied, his sinister smile didn't faltered not even a bit. "Then again, it doesn't concern you whether I choose to be first or last."
"Don't get so cocky just because you're superior than the average player." Seigarou said as a smirk tugged at his lips. "It'll become your downfall eventually."
Natsumi turned his gaze on Seigarou, his sinister smile faltering and was replaced with scowl. "You're no one to decide my fate, don't get cocky with me." And with that, Natsumi along with his team shouted out "Let's have a good match!"
"They have the Trump Card brought out so suddenly… this will take a while for us to score…" Tsuchida commented, finally getting serious like the rest of his team.
"I've only seen him play at the last minutes of fourth quarters…" Dotaka commented, brows furrowed in concentration. "But him being a starter is unsettling…"
"What do you think he'll do, Seigarou?" Tscuchida questioned to the red-head in front of him as they took their places with Seigarou, Amane, and Dotaka as offense while Tsuchida as defense with Reiner as mid-offense.
"He doesn't have a position, he can cover any position." Seigarou said, eyes on Natsumi who stood behind Hyuuga as defense while having Izuki, Kiyoshi and Kagami as offense with Hyuuga as mid-offense. "He's like a mirror, reflecting one's movements."
"Natsumi-kun is very unpredictable, you won't know where he stands until he gets you from behind." Amane added.
"We should limit his passes then and not let him move further." Reiner said, Seigarou turned to give him a glare.
"He won't be affected, he'll shoot from any distance when he deems it necessary."
"Even if we block Natsumi-kun, Natsumi-kun finds ways to use us as screens." Amane added.
"A head-start eh? Not bad for them." Reiner huffed. "Having that guy as their Trump Card is a bit funny in some way. However, that Natsumi guy has a limit, doesn't he?"
Amane stared blankly at Reiner who stared back in confusion until Amane finally spoke. "Natsumi-kun used to have a limit back then in Middle school, however, it has been broken through and I don't even know if he does have a limit or not." Reiner gaped at him while Dotaka and Tsuchida kept silent.
"He does have a limit but it wouldn't be called as limit, it's more like a trigger." Seigarou added, ruffling his red locks as he took his team's silent response as they understood. "So be aware, because you won't like it when I hit his Trigger." Seigarou smirked.
"What are you trying to do? I thought you were better for last?" Hyuuga questioned, turning to look at Natsumi who shrugged.
"I know Seigarou's intentions so that is why I'm here, to warn you guys about him and what he's capable off. However, he not plans to use the dirtiest techniques but also aims to trigger my limit, if I have one that is." Natsumi explained, Hyuuga stared at him like he has gone mad. "What?"
"Basically saying that you have no limit? Like you could play throughout the whole four quarters?"
"Hai."
"Why didn't you say anything about this then?!"
"You never mentioned nor asked me."
"Do you want to die?!"
"My last few words would had been "Jesus take the wheel" but I like living so no."
"This is not a moment to be joking around!"
"I could tell you already died inside."
"S-Shut up!"
"Hai."
"W-Wait…. What?"
"You told me to shut up so I will since you're my senpai." Natsumi said innocently in which Hyuuga glared at him and stalked up to him and placed a hand on the golden-eyed shoulder. "Nani?"
"You have no absolute shame in respecting your senpais during something like this situation and not outside said situation…" Hyuuga drawled out dangerously as Natsumi kept his face impassive.
"Gomen."
"Like that would work!"
"Gomen."
"Argh!" Hyuuga turned back around, nostrils flaring as he glared ahead. "I'll make him run around in sand…"
"Somehow it reminds me of Kuroko." Kiyoshi said thoughtfully. "I don't know why but Natsu-kun reminds me of Kuroko-kun."
"That's creepy…" Kagami said, had heard what Kiyoshi said and he shivered at the statement. Seigarou stood in front of Kiyoshi who also stood there with the referee in between them, holding the basketball.
"Are you ready?" Both Aces nodded before the basketball was thrown up in the air and both Aces jumped for it, Kiyoshi using his Iron Claw to grab the ball toward himself and started to run with it. Seigarou growled but didn't made no move to go after it and he turned to face Natsumi's direction who was watching his teammates play. Natsumi briefly glanced toward Seigarou before reverting his gaze back to the game. Kiyoshi had passed the ball to Hyuuga due to being double-team by Tsuchida and Reiner, and Hyuuga was having trouble to score because Dotaka was pressuring him so Hyuuga passed it to Kagami.
"Alright!" Kagami said as he started to dribble his way in but Amane appeared in front of him suddenly. 'Shit! He's fast!' Kagami thought and tried to shake him off but Amane wouldn't even budge from his spot. 'I won't be able to shake him off and Natsumi is far from my reach! Fuck! I have to do a Buzzle Beater!'
"If you're planning to do something whilst of your situation, go ahead." Amane said blankly but smirked internally when he saw Kagami hesitate for a second until he jumped up but before Kagami could position himself, Amane managed to smack the ball down through the red-head's hands and it bounced toward Seigarou. Kagami watched in shock as Amane gave him a small smirk before running past him to help Seigarou with Natsumi and Izuki.
"Damnit! He got Kagami!" Hyuuga said while he ran back to help the defense, Dotaka already ahead of them. 'They're pretty fast to recover!' Hyuuga thought.
"Heh! Easy!" Seigarou grinned as he passed the ball to Dotaka who took it and dribble around Izuki but due to Izuki's Eagle Spear, the ball was lost and was bouncing almost outside the game court if it weren't for Amane catching it before it went out and dribbled his way past Izuki with ease and was now face-to-face with Natsumi.
"You're underestimating them." Natsumi said lowly as he focused on Amane who stared right back at him.
"Are we, Natsumi-kun?" Amane questioned before going to a head-drive but Natsumi reacted quickly and didn't let the other pass. 'Natsumi-kun, you've improved greatly. But I'm not going to let you win though.' Amane thought before dribbling again to the right and was again blocked by Natsumi but Amane dribble-spun and passed the ball to Dotaka who jumped up to dunk the ball. However, the ball was tipped down and found itself on Natsumi's left palm, did Dotaka cursed in shock and couldn't comprehend how the heck did Natsumi manage to catch up that dangerously fast until Natsumi was gone, leaving a shocked Dotaka behind.
"Alright! Natsumi has it so block Tenkio!" Hyuuga yelled out as he blocked Tsuchida while Kiyoshi and Izuki got Reiner . Natsumi dribbled his way toward the hoop until Amane caught up and tried to block his path but Natsumi abruptly halted in mid-track and bended his back like a bow while his arms held the ball in a odd position until he released it. Amane couldn't stop it since he didn't have that ability to abruptly stop like Natsumi so he ran toward the hoop to at least tip the ball off but the ball beat him as it fell right through the hoop.
"Yes!" Riko exclaimed as the others on the bench cheered as well. Kuroko's eyes widened in amazement, wondering how can Natsumi pull that off.
"Way to go, Natsu-kun!" Kiyoshi smiled toward Natsumi who shook his head and went back to his spot. Amane blinked in disbelief while Seigarou growled and stalked up to Natsumi who turned to face him.
"What kind of trick is that, Natsumi?!" Seigarou growled out in Natsumi's face. Natsumi raised an eyebrow at the question before he shrugged and pointed to the cheering crowd going wild. The crowd kept shouting 'Odd-Shot!' repeatedly, which made both teams confuse.
"You don't know of my moves but the crowd does. I'm surprised you have forgotten about the Odd-Shot since I used it a lot against other opponents." Natsumi said simply. Seigarou glared at him and turned away to get in position while Tsuchida held the ball.
"You're really naïve, Natsumi." Seigarou said suddenly while Natsumi glanced at the other's back. "Like a child. Oblivious to the world and your surroundings, acting only when you want to. Not knowing what's right and wrong… I'm surprised your team cope up with your attitudes."
"My attitudes?" Natsumi questioned, causing Seigarou to laugh at him in a mocking tone.
"Like that-" Seigarou started.
"Oi, leave Natsumi alone." Kagami said in boredom while Seigarou turned to glance at the red-head.
"Why don't you mind your own business?!" Seigarou growled and he turned fully to face Kagami while Tsuchida passed the ball to Dotaka, who was being held back by Kiyoshi and Hyuuga. Kagami's eyes narrowed slightly before smirking at Seigarou who glared at him and started to stalk up to Kagami, almost bumping chests. Kagami dropped his smirk and glared at Seigarou in warning while Seigarou returned the glare.
"Don't talk like you known him." Seigarou drawled out, pointing at Natsumi who approached them with the intention to separate them since the referee was now looking at them. "You don't know him that well-"
"What makes you any different?" Natsumi argued, placing his arms on both of the red-heads to separate them. Izuki came over to help as well since the referee decided to approach them to see what was the commotion and who to give the foul card at.
"Look here, Natsumi. A lot of guys are gonna mistake you for a girl and you won't have the slightest idea what they'll plan to do to you or what they think about you. I'm not saying all this shit because I care, heck no. I'm making this very clear that you attract people towards you and that will be your downfall." Seigarou said, leaning close to Natsumi who seemed unfazed by Seigarou's words but his mind was processing them. Kagami frowned and grabbed Natsumi's forearm to pull him back slowly, away from Seigarou, sensing danger at that very moment. "That moment when my eyes landed on you, that first glance we met, I knew you would cause trouble but I couldn't help it when I had the urged to pull you against me and feel you." Seigarou whispered lowly for only Natsumi to hear, who held a puzzled expression on. Seigarou smirked at that look and shook his head. "You are naïve indeed and dense, very dense. But then again, I wouldn't complain about it."
"What's going on here?" the referee finally interceded, glancing at both parties with a serious expression on. "This is just a friendly match, don't get all physical." Seigarou turned to look at the referee and was about to snap at him when Amane landed a hit on his head to shut him up.
"Nothing, just slight disagreements but the game continues." Amane said while ignoring the way Seigarou glared at him with a killer intent, did he chuckled. 'Ah, you wished looks could kill, Seigarou-kun. Unfortunately, such thing is beyond human's power.' Amane thought with a small smirk. The referee nodded then and announced the game to continue on.
"What the heck was that for?! Were you trying to ask for a death wish?!" Seigarou hissed at Amane who shrugged his shoulders boredly, angering the red-head more. "You piece of shit!"
"Maa, I'm not the one wanting to have Natsumi-kun all to myself." Amane said casually, seeing Seigarou glared at him even more. 'Looks can't kill, Seigarou-kun.' Amane thought, laughing internally. "You just confessed to him in your poor choice of words, do you know that?"
"Shut up, piece of shit!" Seigarou sneered at Amane who held back an amused smirk, clearly saying he was having way too much fun teasing the hot-tempered Seigarou.
"I wonder why Seigarou-kun is worried about Natsumi being the center of attention? Is it because the rumors of him being seeing with, oh I don't know, with the Generation of Miracles?" Amane drawled out, his sadistic side enjoying every expression Seigarou was expressing when them were mentioned. 'No doubt about it. Seigarou-kun is jealous of GoM because Natsumi-kun hung out with them. I swear that Seigarou-kun is stupid, well, very stupid. If he wants a chance with Natsumi, he could've said something nice but looking at back then when he did that thing on Natsumi when they first met, well, he's screwed. I do got to admit that Natsumi isn't that bright when it comes to people confessing to him or trying to make moves on him, he's like an innocent child. Speaking of that, he doesn't show any interest in girls nor with guys. Hmm, that is very frustrating. I can't determine his sexual preference with this low and poor information-'
"-mane!"
Amane was abruptly brought out of his thoughts when a ball was soaring towards him and he didn't have the time to react so the ball hit him at the side of the head, the force of the ball and the impact made Amane's head snap to the right. Amane just blinked in confusion and turned to give a look at Reiner who facepalmed at Amane's idioticness. 'That hurt you bastard. Now die.' Amane thought to himself, still staring at Reiner with a bit of anger. A cackle was heard behind Amane and he turned his head to look at Seigarou, holding his sides while tears streamed down his sweaty face and sweaty shoulders trembled. 'You got balls to laugh at my disgrace so now allow me to cut them off and make you choke on them, Seigarou-kun.' Amane thought, his sadist mode activated.
"The ball goes to Seirin!"
"Hahaha! You should've seen your face, Amane! Hahahahahaha!" Seigarou kept laughing, doubling over while Amane exhaled an annoyed sigh. Amane then turned to look towards Seirin's direction, only the gaze landing on one violette. Natsumi held a blank face but Amane could tell that he wanted to actually help his injury but remained where he was.
"Oi, are you done of laughing at my disgrace?" Amane directed his question to the still laughing red-head. 'Yes, keep on laughing. I hope you die that way.' Amane thought sadisticly. Seigarou finally calmed down and stood up from the floor, wiping the shedded tears from his eyes before glaring at Amane. 'You got the nerve to glare at me, you shithole.' Amane thought.
"I swear Amane, if this happens again, I'll strangle you." Seigarou hissed out lowly. Amane stared at Seigarou with half-lidded eyes, as if bored, and waved him off.
"You got a lot of nerve to be threatening me, Seigarou-kun. It's best if you just shut your shithole up or I'll shut it for you." Amane said plainly. With that, Seigarou did shut up and stopped bothering Amane but turned to look at Kagami who was right behind Seigarou, waiting for Natsumi to pass it the ball.
"Oi." Seigarou called the other red-head. Kagami glanced at his way with a narrowed gaze but listened. "Natsumi is not who he seems to be when he's in his Trigger Mode. Since you guys don't know him that well, just warning ya about his Trigger Phases."
"What're you trying to say with that?!" Kagami snarled, Kiyoshi and Hyuuga exchanging looks between them before hardening their gazes on Seigarou who turned his head a bit to look over his shoulder.
"What I'm trying to say," Seigarou paused, at that moment, Natsumi released the ball and it soared toward Kiyoshi's direction, before he continued. "is that you don't know him."

Author: Here it is! 12 pages in total! I know I'm slow at updating chapters and I know I got this Winter Break to create more chapters, trust me, I do know that. But I still don't have Internet due to my parents wanting to change the contract and get another company like xinfinity. Ugh, I swear I want to strangle them sometimes, which is why Amane was having his sadistic thoughts in the story. I do gotta admit that I'm not good in describing basketball stuff since I'm not really into basketball. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy how they play basketball in the manga but in reality, it's a no-go for me. What I'm really good at least is to describe a soccer game. That's my power right there! And also, my main weapon is describing Yaoi scenes in a slow and torturous pace. Ah, the goodies. However, depending on the story's pace and the rating, I'll keep the lemons limited. Unless you all want me to write it all out, then I will. Depends though. Alright, enough of my damn speech. Ugh, don't you guys get tired when people rant on and on in their Author notes? I do, that is for sure. I just feel like it takes up most of the story than the story should to the Author's note. But It's alright, I do that a bit often I guess. Oh lookie here, I just ranted a full paragraph here. I don't know what possessed my hand to keep writing my thoughts down that I feel like part of my privacy is being invaded. Damn you hand! Anyways, please stay tune for the upcoming chapters and please bear with me. I understand that you don't want to keep on waiting for my updates because I'm slow as a turtle, but you guys got to understand me as well.
Life as a fanfiction writer isn't easy. It takes time to start writing down a story and debate on whether you should continue it or not. There are times where I wanted to give up on this story and finish on my other ones but since this story got the most reviews than my other works, I decided to continue it. However, seeing no reviews as of late, I am planning to move this story to Wattpad so I could update it faster since I got the app and I can use the school's Wi-Fi. Agh, shiiiit! I'm ranting off again! Well, nobody bothers to read my note anyways so yeah.
Sooo… Stay tune for the upcoming chapters! If you happen to see this story in Wattpad, leave a comment and I'll respond ASAP! For now, this story stays on this site until I get back to school from break.
Ciao, mio amicos!
