"MURASAKIBARA! WHAT THE HELL?!" Aomine snarled angrily.

"Ah…sorry Mine-chin…" The purple giant answered as he pushed back his lavender locks away from his face.

"Atsushi, that's the third time you missed a pass, is something the matter?" Akashi asked concerned.

"Ahh…mmmhh…" Murasakibara shrugged.

"Oi, answer properly, if you have anything bothering you speak up, you're messing up the practice." Midorima joined the lecturing.

"There, there Midorima-cchi, maybe Murasaki-cchi is just tired, it's quite hot today after all…ne?" Kise beamed at the irritated Midorima making him more annoyed upon seeing the blonde's stupid grin.

"Murasakibara-kun, why don't you take a break first?" Kuroko suddenly spoke up.

"I believe that's a good suggestion, Atsushi, you'll be benched first." Akashi supported.

Murasakibara have nothing else to say, he dragged his enormous body towards the bleachers and sat near their manager, Momoi Satsuki. He then grabbed his bag of goodies and started munching some cracker stick as he watched the others play the mock game.

"Mukkun, here…" Momoi handed him bottled water.

"Thanks Momo-chin…" He politely accepted and drank all the liquid in one gulp.

"Mukkun, stop calling me that…" She pouted. "Ne…about today…you actually missed…three passes. That's unusual." She added.

"Hmm." He shrugged as he started on his third stick.

"Mukkun, is something wrong…?" She moved closer to him.

"Nothing really…" He answered; once again he pushed back his hair into place.

Momoi examined the purple giant; there must be something wrong with him. He is Murasakibara Atsushi after all, not a player who would miss a simple pass.

"Momo-chin, stop looking at me like you're going to eat me…" He commented upon seeing the girl lock her gaze into him. He opened his bag of chips devoured the whole thing.

"Mukkun…"

"Hmm?"

"Is your hair bothering you…?"

Murasakibara stopped munching for awhile and tucked some locks of his hair behind his ears, unfortunately more oh his hair fell back down to his face and he can't do anything about it but sigh heavily and continue munching his precious junk foods.

"Mukkun, we should trim it…"

"NO" He quickly answered.

"But… it's keeping you from playing…conveniently… besides, it has grown pretty long already…" She convinced.

"NO."

"Akashi-kun and Midorin will lecture you more~" She tried again.

"I don't care…"

"Mukkun… it will grow back once again!"

"I like my hair already."

"Pleaseeee?" She clasped her hands together facing the boy; Murasakibara only looked at her with lazy eyes.

"No."

Momoi sighed in defeat. Like a child you always were, Mukkun. She averted her sight towards the practicing boys, if she doesn't do something, Murasakibara will continue to be handicapped by his hair.

Just then, a brilliant idea came to her, quickly she ran towards her bag, she grabbed her purse and a clean towel nearby and hurried back to the giant's place.

"Mukkun, come here." She said as she held the towel open, Murasakibara held his head closer to Momoi, she then ruffled gently his hair to dry every tip of it.

"Mukkun, your hair is really beautiful." She smiled as she continued drying it.

"You think so?" He deadpanned.

After drying his sweat off, Momoi picked up her brush and ran it through his lavender mane. She was technically enjoying it while he was a bit annoyed, nobody touches his hair other than his mother or his older sister, and neither does he likes whatever those two are up to all the time.

After a few minutes, Momoi finished off with his locks tied and secured into a low ponytail, no strands on his face, no strands at the side of his face, no strands lost at place.

Momoi beamed at him as she presented a mirror in front of his face.

"Now you can play without having to cut your hair at all!"

Murasakibara examind his hair, true, it's neat, unlike what the female population of his household used to do with him: pigtails, buns, headbands. Disgusting. He even tried shaking his head to test if it'll fall off. But no, it's actually well done.

"You're the best Momo-chin…" He complimented.

And he was ready to play again, no more Aka-chin or Mido-chin to lecture him.

Before he stood up he faced the manager who was fixing her things.

"Momo-chin, AHHHHH~" He hung his mouth open letting out a monotone voice.

Unsure of what to respond, Momoi imitated the purple head and opened her mouth. Murasakibara popped in a small red ball into the young girl's mouth and left her with a dumb smile on his face and went back to court.

Surprised, she munched into whatever matter it is in her mouth.

Cherry?

She looked at the giant and saw the others gathering around him, she's still confused; after all, Murasakibara never ever gives out his favorite candies to anyone. At all.
