Juliessa: Long time no see, everyone. Sorry for the late update since I was all occupied with my study and exams.

Quarter 3: Goodbye Seirin, hello Rakuzan.

It was already autumn when a shocking new struck Furihata Kouki. The new was too good to be true and also too bad to accept. "We're moving to Kyoto and I'm going to the Rakuzan High?" She asked her father in disbelieve. "But, dad, I want to study at the Seirin and also what about the basketball team? Isn't Rakuzan difficult to enter?" She had heard that it was one of the top schools in Kyoto.

"Honey, we've arranged everything you need to attend the Rakuzan plus you can join the Rakuzan basketball team. I'm sorry but we've no choice but to move to Kyoto since your father's been transferred to Kyoto branch of the company." Her mother convinced her. Furi could do nothing since her parents had already decided to move. She sighed. 'What am I supposed to the coach and the others?'

"You are goin' where?" Kagami shouted. It was too loud that everyone near him had to cover their ears. Furi let out an 'eek'. Aida Riko slapped him with a paper fan.

"You don't need to yell that much, Bakagami! We can't help it. Her parents are moving and it's not good to leave her alone in Tokyo." She said. Kagami looked at her while nursing his recently-hurt-head. Kuroko was beside him, lecturing. 'Recently, I kinda seeing them almost together everywhere while in school.' Furi wondered. 'They're suspiciously too close.' Normally, Furi would run over to Kuroko and tease her about Kagami and herself, but right now, she was so not in the mood of having fun.

"I'm really sorry, coach. I don't want to move. I really love this team." A small drop of tear appeared from the corner of her right eye. "I'll keep on supporting this team even I'm in the Rakuzan. I'll come to cheer you on in the winter cup." She kept on saying. Hyuga and the rest of the boys were shocked seeing Furihata almost crying and not knowing what to do. Riko hugged her tightly and patted her head. "There, there, it's not good to cry, Furihata-chan. We'll miss you for sure. You're a good friend."

"So even coach can be gentle and motherly when it's needed." Hyuga slipped out these words while fixing the position of his glasses. Unfortunately, Riko's ears were sharp enough to hear what her team's captain had said. Kiyoshi and the others came to say Furi farewell without concerning their captain who was currently tortured by their devilish coach.

"Furi-chan," Kuroko called her friend, "if there's something wrong, don't forget to contact me. Remember I'll always there for you." She took her friend's hands in hers. "Kuroko-chan!" The two girls embraced each other. "Sure, I'll do. I promise." Furi agreed.

After a week, Furi finally left Tokyo and moved to Kyoto. The Seirin team saw her off at the station. Riko finished her farewell five seconds before the train left. Actually, there were plenty more to tell Furihata, but Kiyoshi stopped her so that the brunette could go. "Then everyone, I'll be going." Furi shouted before hopping onto the trained. The others waved at her. 'Furi-chan, I hope everything to turn alright.' Kuroko wished in her mind.

"So this is the famous Rakuzan High." Furihata looked at the beautiful, white, enormous building in awe. "Let's go." She cheered herself and stepped inside the school. Each period passed peacefully and finally the school was over. Furihata walked out of the classroom with a white paper in her hand. The paper said "Club Submission". She was really confused whether she should join the basketball team or not. She decided to take a look before joining the club.

The gym of the basketball club was really fancy just like the rest of the classrooms. She peeped into the gym. "Wow, they're so systematic and the facilities are so cool." She told to herself. In the gym, many players were training their best. "It's a nice team, but still….." She turned around. She felt like the atmosphere lacked the warmth she usually felt back at the Seirin. "I wonder what to do." She walked away from the gym.

BAMP!

She fell down to the ground as soon as she made a turn at the corner. A tall, middle-aged man was who she hit. "Ouch." She yelped.

"Are you okay, Miss?" The man asked her. "Yes, I'm fine, Sir." She replied, getting up from the ground. "I'm sorry, Sir." She apologized. She bowed and then looked at the man. It was Shirogane Eiji, the Rakuzan basketball team's coach. "Then I'll take my leave." She said and walked. He called out for her. "You left this on the ground, Miss." He picked up the sheet. "Club submission form? Are you applying for the basketball team?" He hand her the paper.

"I haven't decided, yet." She took the paper. "It's already in the middle of the school year and you haven't decided?" He looked surprised. "No, I'm just transferred here." Furi told him. "I'm glad to have on board if you join us. May I know from which school did you transfer?"

"From the Seirin High." Furi answered. Eiji raised one eyebrow. "Oh, I see. It's a good team. I see many potential in them." He said. "Really, thanks." Furi said cheerfully. "I'm afraid I've to go. Please consider to join the team." He left the conversation and walked toward the gym.

"Coach, what's taking you so long? I saw you at the corner for quite long." A tall young male walked out of the gym with towels and water bottle in his hands. "Nothing, Mibuchi. Taking a break?" The coach told him. "Yep." Mibuchi Reo said. The coach went inside. Reo looked at in her direction. "Oh, you are…." Their eyes met. "Hey, you're the girl from the Seirin. What're you doing here?" He ran to her.

"I transferred from the Seirin." She told her. "It's been quite a while, isn't it? We haven't seen each other since summer." Reo said, swiping the sweat with a towel. "Ah, it is." Furi replied. She remembered the first time Mibuchi and the Seirin team met. It was at their summer training camp.

Juliessa: Yes, I transferred Furi to the Rakuzan. I'm sorry I made the whole story different form the real one. To the ones who read, followed, made favorite and commented, I personally thank you. See you again in next quarter.
