Chapter 3

3rd P.O.V

Sunlight streaming through the curtains and to the girls face, opening her eyes then looking at the clock. Yelping she jumped out of the bed then immediately took a bath for she was gonna be late. 10 minutes and she'll be late. "Shit! I overslept, I forgot to turn on the damn alarm clock! Shit, shit, shit" she panted running to school. She ran until she reached the classroom before composing herself and entering the door. Inside Haruko found Kuroko already there sitting alone. Miyuki gossiping to someone, so Haruko move towards Miyuki and greeted her. "Miyuki-chan ohayou." She just waved at me disinteresting then returned to her gossip friend. Frowning at her dismissal, Haruko walk to Kuroko and greeted him. "Ohayou Kuroko-kun. Gomen I woke up late." Kuroko greeted back emotionlessly. "Ohayou Haruko-san, it's fine. After class we have to go to Akashi-kun's class, the teacher wanted you to give Akashi-kun the stack of papers over there." Pointing towards the stack of papers at the teachers table.

After that, class started and pass by like usual. Passing the assignments, having group activities. The bell rang signifying the lunch break. Kuroko, Haruko and Miyuki walking towards the class 1-A. Haruko already told why to Miyuki. "So?.." Miyuki started "Hmm?" Haruko blinked confusedly at her. "Since when are you close to the basketball captain Akashi Seijuro?" Miyuki finished her eyes sparkling. Haruko looked at her with a confused expression.

Haruko's P.O.V

'What is she talking about?' I thought while opening my mouth to say something when Kuroko interrupted. "We're here." I'll talk to her later, I opened the door when I came face to face with Akashi who looks surprised but not by much. "A-ah Akashi-san. Sensei wanted to give you this." I told him while handing the papers sensei wanted to give him. Akashi took them from me and nodded his head while walking out the door. "Hanako-chan, Miyuki-chan. Gomen but I won't be able to go with you." I told them. "Ehh demo Haruko-chan why?!" Miyuki said dramatically with fake tears falling down her cheeks. Hanako just stayed quiet, though I suspect that she might already have an idea. "W-well you see… uhh…" "Spit it out already." "Fine! I'm the new Assistant Coach of the Basketball club." I stated. Miyuki and Hanako looks shocked for a minute, then Miyuki's face slowly turns mischievous that I started to become nervous.

"So~ you can introduce me, I mean us to the players of the Generation of Miracles?" Miyuki asked while looking at me with the damn puppy dog eyes. "Er you see I'm just starting today, so maybe next time?" I suggested weakly when Miyuki's shoulders started to droop. "Fine. But you better or else…" she threatened. I just nodded then, she and Hanako; who's been quiet all this time to walk home and me with Kuroko to the gym.

*SKIP TO A FEW MONTHS*

'Maaan I'm beat.' I thought as I started to stretch, it's been a few months since I became the Assistant Coach and I've never been this tired when I'm helping them to train and couple with the fact that Miyuki has been bugging me non-stop about when I'm going to introduced her to the guys, so I did and all she did was fucking flirt with them all. And then when Akashi-kun came in she started flirting to him with more vigour than she did with all the guys she met. At least Akashi-kun just ignored her.

*FLASHBACK A FEW HOURS EARLIER*

"Haruko-chan it's already a few months and you still haven't introduced me I mean us!, to the Generation of Miracles!" Miyuki demanded annoyed. ' I guess there's no avoiding it.' "Fine, after class I'll introduce you and Hanako-chan to the guys." I replied calmly "You better!" she threatened before stomping off somewhere. Sighing deeply I turned to Kuroko, "Kuroko-kun is it okay?" he nodded before responding. "We just have to tell everyone at the roof." I shot him a grateful smile before turning to our teacher.

Over the last months, Kuroko-kun, Kise-kun, Mura-kun, Midorima-kun, Aomine-kun, Suki-chan, Akashi-kun and I have been growing close as if we're friends for a long time even though I just met them. Especially Akashi-kun, I've grown closer to him than the rest of the Generation of Miracles. And that few months I also realized my feelings for him, at first I thought it was a simple puppy love and I'll get over him soon enough, but it didn't. As weeks flew by I started falling for him deeper.

"Haru-chan, do you love Akashi-kun?" Suki-chan asked me seriously. "N-no of course not! Why would you think of t-that?" I responded nervously. "Weeelll its just that when I see you looking at him its like your confused at the same time blushing." She stated a matter-of-fact. Do I? Do I really love Akashi-kun and am I really blushing when I look at him? Confusion became evident on my face because Suki-chan giggled."Don't worry Haru-chan! I'm sure Akashi-kun feels the same as you!" she said joyfully while patting my head and walking away to Aomine-kun, while I stared at her back confused and dumbfounded.

Lunch break and Kuroko-kun and I walked towards the roof joined on the way by Aomine-kun and Suki-chan who is arguing as usual but stops when they spotted us. We continued walking and as expected the rest are already there. "Umm, everyone I have an announcement to say." I started nervously and they all give me their attention making me more nervous. "A-ah you see… my friends wanted to meet you later, so both of them will come with me at the club later" I finished and looked at all of them, seeing them look at Akashi-kun. "Fine, however, make it so they won't disturb us at practice when they decided to watch." Akashi-kun ordered me softly. "Hai. Arigato Akashi-kun" I smiled softly with a pink tint on my cheeks that I didn't notice.

Akashi's P.O.V

This girl, what has she been doing to me? Over the past few months I tried to distance myself from her but I couldn't do it. Every time Ryouta or any guy makes a move on her I would glare at them harshly unconsciously, although that girl is very oblivious to it. I am softer with her around, I didn't order her, I make an option if she wanted it or not. Though I'm others have notice it, everyone but her. How can she be oblivious to it I wouldn't know. But I know one thing, NOTHING can take my Empress away from me after all I always win so I'm always right.

3rd P.O.V

Currently Kuroko, Haruko, Miyuki and Hanako are walking towards the gym with Miyuki and Hanako chatting happily and Hanako putting some opinions when needed. So now here they stand infront of the gym, Haruko and Kuroko at the front to enter and Miyuki and Hanako behind them. Whistling Haruko called the boys, noticing Akashi missing she dismissed it thinking that he'll be there later. "Okay everyone this is Miyamoto Miyuki and this is Takeda Hanako (AN: I just realized I didn't even introduced Hanako. Gomen minna) they're my friends."

"Hi!~ I'm Kise Ryouta-ssu" then one by one they introduced themselves, Haruko looked around still not spotting Akashi who already returned and is behind her. "Wait, where's Akashi-kun?" Haruko questioned them, but before they can say anything, Akashi spoke scaring the wits out of her "And I am Akashi Seijuro the captain of the basketball club." "Hyaaa!~ Akashi-kun don't do that!" Haruko scolded with a hand to her pounding heart where she didn't know if because she was scared or because of Akashi being close to her. Akashi just smirked not minding the players who were quite dumbfounded that their captain didn't get angry for someone scolding him. Miyuki then went to each players to flirt with them, with Hanako trailing behind her though most noticeably not flirting like her friend.

Miyuki suddenly cutted whatever Haruko was saying to Akashi to flirt with him. "So~ Seijuro-kun would you like to go on a date with me after this?" she said coyly. Suddenly the whole court turned deadly silent that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was shocked at what Miyuki called Akashi, heck, screw that they were completely dumfounded! Even Miyuki's friends who knows that she isn't like that, though one person was quickly growing irritated and her views of her friend changing rapidly. Then suddenly-

Chapter 3 finished! Hmm, I wonder who was that one and what will happen to Miyuki because she calls the Emperor by his name?!
