Da Jia Hao ? :D Welcome back to another chapter of this silly imagination of mineee xD ! Btw,my school starts soon, so I think I won't update chapters as fast as right now because I am in holiday . . But don't worry, I wouldn't make this story in hiatus or anything, I will try my best to complete it before making another story/taking a break.

To reviewers who said I need to make longer chapter, thanks a lot for your opinion xD ! I am currently trying right now and forgive me if it is not long like what you've expected T^T. With ongoing chapters, I will try my best to make the chapter longer. So bear with me okay ;) All right, here you are. Oh, and I'm trying to write the basketball match that is going as well. Tell me if there is a grammar mistake or things like that, I will fix them asap for you!

Warning : I make GOM have their "blooming" problems in their third-year and they will overcome this with Yuka's help, so when they go to their respectitive high school, they will be rivals with good relation unlike the canon story in anime/manga. And this means, the Aomine in this chapter is still the good Ao-kun :3

To Ninja99 : Thanks a lot for bringing that problem up ! xD And I'm deeply sorry for not mentioning it at chapter 2 :') because I forgot about it. But don't worry I have the storyline for that already. My deep apologies as I am publishing the new chapter in fast mode and this is my first writing multi-chaps experience. But I have lots of fun xD !

To reviewers who said there is a grammar mistake in my story : Do please point it out just one is enough. Help me in learning as well, okay :D? Thankies :3

Chapter 3 : Focused Grey Eyes

As Tetsumi, Momoi-senpai, and me are sitting on the bench with the head coach at the left side of the court, the second strings members are walking towards the center of the court and lining up as well. Although their face all say they know that they will lose anyway, they are still trying their best to look not nervous to all of us.

" I kinda know that feeling, going against a very strong opponent makes us depressed first, it is the mental psychological effect on humans," said Tetsumi, looking into the second's string members.

"You've played before?" I asked.

"Yes, but my brother prohibited me from playing any kind of sports ever since I was seven," said Tetsumi, putting her chin to both of her hands.

"Oh, why?" I asked her. But before she could answer me, all of us hear the whistle is blown by the referee and it is already tip-off. I don't play games, but I know how they work. Not just basketball, I know some sports like horse-riding, golf, and chess. Mainly because my father always ask me to join him playing.

The ball is caught by the member of the first sting, the tanned skin dark-haired one, and he quickly dashed his way towards the second string's net.

"Aomine-kun plays good today as well," said Momoi-senpai. Oh, so he is named Aomine. And judging from how she said "as well" , the loud noise spectators made after he got the ball, and his wide grin when he make his first dunk of the game. He is a very good player or an ace in the team.

The first score is stolen by the first strings. The second string member now is dribbling the ball in the court, each members passed the ball to the other, when something suddenly disrupts the flow. Without me noticing, somehow, the passing has gone to the first string members again, this time the green haired one is receiving the pass.

"What was that?" I thought.

"Midorima-kun is going to shoot," Momoi-senpai said. And it is true.

Hold on it is the center of the court, how is he going to shoot from there? As all of us are caught in the surprise, the green-haired one is bending his knees and jumping from his place, he throws the ball with his left hand with such a high arc. Will it go in? No, how is it going to go in? I have seen NBA's very far three-points shoot before, but even it has slim chance of going in. But this one ...

"It will go in," Tetsumi said while squinting her eyes.

And just like her sayings, it really indeed go in. With smooth sounds the ball got into the net, no less. It took me by surprise, a junior high school student could make that kind of shoot?

The second string members haven't lost hope, they are trying to score a point by giving a high pass to its members. This time, when one of the members has caught the ball, he was dribbling and got guarded by Aomine-senpai again. He quickly passed the ball to the member on his left. Then, when the member wants to do a lay-up , he got guarded again. Only it is not Aomine, it is the purple-haired one. Being very tall like that alone is already intimidating, how about adding some skills to it? There you go, a very tough center to pass through. The purple-haired player block the member and while doing that, suddenly the ball got stolen again and is passed to the red-haired player. Yep, the red-haired player.

" Seijuro Akahi," I said without me realizing it.

"Oh, you know him already Yanagi-chan? He is very popular, huh?" said Momoi-senpai smirking at me.

"I just know his name, Momoi-senpai, so you can't say I know him," I said.

Seijuro Akashi is dribbling the ball to the enemy's court and finding himself being guarded by two members. And while I am hoping he will do something that will amaze me, he passed the ball to his right side. Somehow, the ball has been in Aomine-senpai's hands. He is positioned in front of Seijuro Akashi and I've seen the ball was passed to Akashi-senpai's right side. So how is the ball now being in Aomine-senpai's possession? There must be something's going on at the court that I don't know.

And Aomine-senpai makes a beautiful dunk to the net from the free shot area, followed with the slam sound he gives when he puts the ball into the net. Making the referee blow his whistle to sign the ball is going in and the students who cheered the first strings merrier. Aomine-senpai makes this peace sign to his teammates and grinning widely to them. Boys, how cute. Suddenly, the referee blows his whistle again.

"First strings, changing players !" he said.

"I've just realized it. Why is Kise-senpai being benched all this time?" I asked.

"What are you talking about? There can only be five players in the court. If you add Kise-nii, it will automatically be six," explained Tetsumi with confused look.

"Five players? What are you talking about? I've only seen.. hold on. Your brother is playing all of this time?" I asked with a surprised look.

"You don't notice him, do you? It is his speciality," explained Momoi-senpai with a proud grin on her face.

Kuroko-senpai makes a high-five with Kise-senpai before Kise-senpai takes his place and enter the court. Some girly squeals can be heard from the spectator's side because of Kise-senpai. What does he do anyway ? How could he have such big fangirls group? Sure the other members also got some girls eyeing them, but Kise-senpai's numbers is just many.

The referee blows the whistle again, and start to round two. The second string member that got blocked by the purple-haired one pass the ball to his member. Then, the ball is thrown again with a high arc until reaching another member who is in the three-point area. Sure, in terms of power, second strings really lose to first strings. But seeing them as a lone team, they are actually not that bad. The one who got it is throwing a three-point ball, only resulting it doesn't go in and making rebound. The rebound is caught by Kise-senpai. Girls squeal can be heard for the I-lost-count times.

"Is Kise-senpai always been a chick magnet?" I asked.

"Oh, really? This doesn't have the half his fangirls the usual though," said Momoi-senpai calmly.

"You must be kidding me," I said with a low voice.

Kise-senpai make his way to the enemy's court without passing to anyone. Even with two second strings guarding him, he could easily ousted them. Then, I see something I saw. Another beautiful dunk from the free shot area. Just like what Aomine-senpai did. It is the same. The move, how he run, even up to the net sound it makes. A copy.

"Kise-nii excels in copying people's skills. He see it for a first time and could easily make them their own, with more power and speed," explained Tetsumi as if knowing what would I've asked.

"A copycat? And a better one to that extent?" I said with a high pitch.

Apparently his dunk got another welcome squeals from the girls. To make matter worse, he reply them with his white teeth smile to them, earning a louder scream.

After some minutes of the match, there is another first strings changing players. This time, it is the purple-haired one with Kuroko-senpai. Being unnoticed is a speciality, eh? I will know how he could become so "invisible" to my eyes.


The match is on again and this time Aomine-senpai passed the ball to his right side, ending up the ball is now in Seijuro Akashi's possession who is in the front left side of him. It is really strange. Now when I take a look at the court, is Kuroko-senpai always be there? How could I never notice him in plays? I make my gaze sharper and focusing my sight solely to him. This is an ability I've brought since I was a child. My parent said it is the absolute form of focus. I can know the rate of people's heart, how their legs move, where will their direction go, their eyes, their lips, even the drops of their sweats. I focus my grey eyes to Kuroko-senpai.

Right at that time, he got a ball being passed to him. But and not to hold it and dribbling it like another player, he quickly passed it to another direction. There can't be three seconds of him holding that ball. And judging from how the ball got passed with such formless bent, no one would've noticed the ball and his presence.

"So that is the secret to his invisibility?" I thought.

Knowing well enough, by one look you can't make a judgement, I focus my eyes to Kuroko-senpai again. He get a ball passed again to him. This time, he doesn't just bent it like the first one I looked. He clenches his fingers half his palm and push the ball straight up ahead. A gust of wind suddenly appears, surprising all the people in the court excluding the head coach, Momoi-senpai, his teammates, and Tetsumi somehow. When I look to where the ball has gone, it is now in Aomine-senpai's hands which is just below the net. He makes another dunk and earning his team another two points.

"Aomine-kun scores a lot today," said Momoi-senpai.

"He usually isn't like this?" I asked.

"He always in fire when in matches Yuka-chan," said Tetsumi while smiling.

When I looked at the court, somehow my focusing eyes haven't been turned off. And it is just the time when my eyes met the red and gold irises. There is a second before he make a curve at his lips and joining his team to play again. And there is another second before I could catch my breath and gaining my senses again.


The match ends in favor of the victory of the first string with the score 89-22. It seems the head coach wants to show all of us the true power of Teikou's Basketball Team, encouraging the new candidates to sharpen their abilities and reconsidering their thoughts on joining the team. After the match ends, Momoi-senpai handed them some towels while Tetsumi and I helped her with giving them the waters. I handed the water to Kise-senpai first.

"Nice play you've given there, Kise-senpai," I said with a smile.

"Thanks, Nagicchi. Coming from my beauty-kouhai, it triples the meaning," he said while laughing and drinking the water.

" Nagicchi? What kind of nickname is that ,senpai? If you could flirt towards every girl you meet , you don't earn the honorifics senpai, Kise-san," I said while pouting.

"Don't pout, Nagicchi, and just call me Kise-kun, Kise-san makes me like an old man-desu," he said, not wanting to lose in pouting. We both laughed and I walk again, handing the water this time to the purple haired-one.

"Good game," I said while smiling to him.

"Oh thanks for the water, are you new?" he said while gulping the water in large amount.

"Yes, I am Yuka Yanagi, a new freshman, and could I know yours senpai?" I said, trying to add a respect voice into it.

"I am Atsushi Murasakibara. By the way, here," he give me a cola lollipop.

"My favorite flavor, thank you Murasakibara-senpai," I said.

"It's okay, Nagi-chin, I could call you that, right?" he asked.

"Sure, Mura-senpai. Who knows you have a sweet tooth like mine?" I said while putting the lollipop inside my mouth. The last water bottle is handed to ... Oh no.

"Is that one for me?" Seijuro Akashi, no less, asked the bottle I hold in my hands.

"Ah yes, here you go," I handed him the water bottle. But somehow, it slipped my hand and nearly fall.

Yep, nearly, because Akashi-senpai catch it before it falls to the ground.

"I'm sorry, it was careless of me," I said, hiding the blush I have.

"Geez, nice first impression, young miss," I thought.

"Don't we have this kind of meeting as well? But let's just say it was you who fall and not the bottle," he said while drinking some of the water.

He still remembered? Wait, why am I getting happy because such a small matter.

"Ah yes, let me introduce myself, my name is Yuka Yanagi and I am a new freshman here, and thank you for saving me this morning," I said while bowing.

"Ergh, 'saving'? Couldn't I think of better words to use?" I thought.

"It's alright. I just happen to pass by and got surprised as well by the sight of you suddenly falling," he said while closing the water bottle.

And an awkward silence... Urgh, what else I have to say? I have to think of something fast.

"By the way, Akashi-senpai-,"

"YUKAAA-CHAAAANNNN !" a loud bum can be heard as my falling. Tetsumi is trying to hug me from behind, but ended up smacking me to the ground.

I bet my horoscope for today is : a relationship with the ground.

"What is it, Sumi-chan?" I asked her, trying to get up when a hand is offered to me. I accept it, only to see the red and gold irises again when I stand.

"Thank you," I said.

"All of us want to eat ramen after practice, will you join us?" she asked me.

"Yes, please join us, Yanagi-chan," Momoi-senpai followed.

"The more, the merrier," Kise-kun and Aomine-senpai said in unison as well.

"Ah, thank you for your kind offers, but I'm sorry, I have to decline since I need to attend family's occasion today. Please excuse me," I said while bowing myself.

"Do you want me to walk you home, Nagicchi?" asked Kise-senpai.

"I think it will be better if someone go with her," said Tetsumi with concern on her look.

"Good game today everyone, you may be dismissed," said Sanada-san to all the first strings.

"No, it's okay. I remember the way to my house, Kise-kun, thank you for today everyone and see you tomorrow," I said, picking up my bag, waving my hand to all of them, and going straight to the exit.


Today has already been a tiring and hectic day for me. From the morning I've met Seijuro Akashi until witnessing the power of Generation of Miracles. Heck, I have made some acquintances in my school, and here I thought, will be a good quiet girl today. After what've just happened to my life, it seems God is not satisfied with it. I rejected my butler, Sebastian's call to ride me home and now I am lost in the street. Sebastian is a twenty-year old butler my father assigned to take care of me. Well, I don't need it anymore. But, he is like my own brother already. He has blue eyes and white hair, a pale complexion like me, very tall, at 190 cm, and good have been together since I was a little girl. Being the sole daughter of Yanagi family,my father is against having another child, believing it will lead to fights over the politicial place and the my butler to pick me up again is a good option, but I know myself well, not to give up early and my pride is still high on the line.

It is afternoon now, five p.m I guess? From the look of the orange sun and sky. I want to go home as soon as possible. My maids and me are going to bake our own style of birthday cake for her while Sebastian will direct our head's chefs to cook meals that my mother like. As usual, my father is busy with his works and can't go home because he is currently assigned at Nagoya. But he still spares his time to call my mother and sends her a birthday gift.

"This is getting nowhere," I thought.

I got to Teikou today because Sebastian escorted me and I ... slept. A stupid action of mine. When I lost all of my hope and going to ask the police I've seen at the intersection about my address. Someone pat my shoulder lightly. And when I turned, I can't believe my eyes.

"Do you get lost?" Akashi-senpai asked me.

"Umm, yeah. I forget the direction to my house," I said, feeling embarassed about it.

"Let me walk you home, then. As a sign of appreciation of your support to my team today," he said.

"But I haven't done anything," I said.

"Support doesn't always mean you make a cheering voice to the team, you know," he said calmly.

"Ah, okay, if you said so. Umm, here is my address," I give her a piece of paper from my pocket.

"You write your own address?" he said with a brow risen up.

"Yeah, because I fear I have amnesia someday because of an accident and forget where do I live, or if someone needs to contact my family if something happens to me," I explained with a blank face.

"You are an interesting one," he said with a small smile on his lips.

His words only makes me turning around, not wanting our gaze to be together. We both walked in silence through the noisy street of Tokyo. I took this chance to inspect him further. His spiky red hair is complementing with the color of sun, his oval face is framing his jaw line, even if his height can't be compared to other players of first strings, he is still taller than me, his eyelashes are quite long with a sharp gaze, like me, only his right red eye is in unison with my flushed face now. He is not just charming, he is handsome.

Wait, why am I being this nervous around him? And the look people are giving us now is like the look for a young new-bloom couple. What am I talking about? Couple, where do I get that idea?

"Do you get a fever? Your face is getting red," asked him suddenly, making me gaining my senses back to world.

"It's nothing," I said, hiding my face.

"Have you remembered the way? We are here," he said.

"The way? Oh, I'm -,"

Before I could say more, we are indeed have arrived at my lovely house. At the gate, Sebastian welcomes me with a worried look on his face.

"Milady, where have you been? What took you so long to come back?" he asked with concern.

"Oh, I got lost, but Akashi-senpai helped me-" I said.

"Akashi-san? Who is that? You arrived alone, milady. Are you tired from your first day of school?" he asked again.

"Where did he go? My senpai helped me to find directions to home. I'm sorry if I worried you, Sebastian," I said with an apologetic face.

"Milady, please just let me escort you to and from school this week, just for you getting adapted to your ways. Now come in, you need to do your task after all," he said with a wink.

"Okay, Sebastian, lead the way," I said , laughing.
