Hey, guys! I hope you're well, unlike me... I am a little sick. Ironic, huh? It's summer and I'm sick.

Thanks for all the reviews! They make me so happy!

Shinohara Mayumi

"Hey. You're Kagami Taiga, right? Play me. I'll test you." Aomine said, smirking.

"What? Who the hell are you?" Kagami asked, with a badass look. "I don't take kindly to guys who tell me to play them without even telling me their names." He had a point.

"I'm not asking how you feel. If I tell you to play, you play." Aomine said, acting like a leader of some sort.

"Why do you have to be so rude to people?" I asked him, with a pout on my face.

"Just shut up, Mayu." He said, with a smirk, not even glancing at me.

"Mayu? Since he has a nickname for you, I guess you're pretty close with this bast-" Kagami didn't get to finish his sentence, as he got interrupted by Aomine.

"I'll tell you my name, at least." Aomine said. "It's Aomine Daiki." He said, with a smirk.

"Aomine?" Kagami looked surprised, as his eyes widened a bit.

I watched the scene before me and got slightly worried. Kagami's legs were injured so he couldn't play his best and I sure knew that Kagami wouldn't back down from a game when it includes the Generation of Miracles.

"Aomine-kun, Kagami-kun is inju-" I got interrupted, as Kagami lifted his hand up and stopped me. I looked at him confused.

"I've heard about you, but you can't expect me to just say yes when you talk down to me like-" He got interrupted again.

Aomine chuckled. "Come on, now! I said I'm not asking." He said, looking down, before lifting his head up. "Shut up and play. No one's expecting a real match." Aomine ordered him, cockily. That's what I hate about him.

"Aomine-kun! Stop it!" I said and scowled.

Aomine turned his head to me then back to Kagami. "What are you doing with him anyway? Where's Satsuki?" He asked, looking a little… angry, I guess?

"She's inside." I said and leaned back to the fence.

"Why do you care if she's with me or not?" Kagami asked, looking pissed. "You don't own her, right?"

Aomine's brows furrowed. "Tch! Got a crush on her already?" Aomine chuckled, before looking dead serious into Kagami's eyes. What's up with him? Why did he look so angry now? "Don't have high hopes though."

"What did you say, bastard?!" Kagami got really frustrated. This was something new to me. Did Kagami really have a crush on me? Two guys were arguing now, because of me. But why did Aomine even care?

"Come on. Shut up and play. I told you, I'm testing you." Aomine said, his smirk returning. "I'm not looking for something that doesn't exist, like a stronger player than myself. I just want to know how much you can do to relieve my boredom." He turned serious again. Aomine's so weird. He gets mood swings almost all the time.

Kagami took a deep breath, before saying something. "From Kise to Midorima, the Generation of Miracles is full of guys who piss me off. But you're exceptional even among them. I'll crush you." Kagami said, pumped up.

"Kagami, don't say something you'll regret later." I whispered to myself.

Aomine took off his sweater and threw it towards me, which I caught, unexpected.

Aomine beat Kagami, like it was nothing. He didn't even drop a sweat, while Kagami sweated as crazy. His breathing was hard as well.

"This is ridiculous. Did you really beat Midorima?" Aomine said, while dribbling the ball. He had a bored and disappointed look on his face. Well, of course he can't battle you when he's not in top shape. He is injured, after all.

"Bastard…" Kagami cursed.

"Tetsu's judgment must be clouded. You can't draw out his full potential." Aomine said, his eyes turning into a bored look. "He's a shadow. The stronger the light, the darker the shadow. In other words, he becomes stronger or weaker depending on the strength of the light." He said, as he in a flash passed him. "Your light is too dim." He said and threw the ball to the hoop.

"Aomine, that's enough!" I said, seriously.

Aomine walked towards me and grabbed me by my arm. I stood up but stumbled into him, since he pulled me a little harshly. "Let's go, Mayu." He said and started to drag me. "And don't call me Aomine." This is actually the first time I called him just Aomine. I guess I got a little too upset about his cockiness.

"Oi, let her go!" Kagami said.

Aomine stopped and turned towards him, while putting on his sweater.

Aomine Daiki

I narrowed my eyes, before turning towards Shinohara. "Mayu." I said, and earned a questioning look from her. "Staying or going?" I asked her, still holding her arm.

She looked back and forth between me and that red head. What was she thinking? She should come with me, so why was she hesitating? Did that idiot already get into her head? I let go of her arm.

"I see… You want to stay. Then fine. Stay!" I said a little bit too loud, which startled her. I started to walk away. I was frustrated. She chose that idiot she just met today, over me. I clenched my hands into fists.

"Wait, Aomine-kun!" She called out. "Kagami-kun, I'll see you later at the game!" I could hear her running towards me, but I didn't stop. "Aomine-kun! Aomine-kun!" I just continued to walk in a fast pace. "Daiki!" I stopped. My eyes turned wide. She called me by my first name. For the first time. She caught up to me. "Why didn't you stop?" She asked as she bent down to catch her breath. After a few breaths, she straightened up, looking at me with a pout.

She always looked cute when she was pouting. I smirked and ruffled her hair, before putting my arm around her shoulders. Then we walked away. I had put my arm around her shoulder to make that red head see and understand that she belongs to me. I slightly turned my head to look at the idiot who was far behind us. He looked pissed, and I made him much more pissed when I gave him a smug smile.

I turned my head back to the road ahead of us, while still walking with my arm wrapped around her shoulders. "So you chose me in the end." I said, still grinning. I looked down to her face and saw her blushing. I smirked, but then suddenly I realized something. "You're pretty short now that I look at you."

"Urusai! You're the one who's too tall!" She said, embarrassed and tried to break free from my grasp, but I only pulled her towards me more.

"You don't even reach my shoulder." I said, teasingly. "Chibi, Mayu-chan!" I said, with a teasing smile, which made her even more embarrassed. I only laughed at her reaction as she pouted and crossed her arms.

Far behind us, was Kagami Taiga looking at the pair that was walking away from him. He looked pretty pissed off.

Poor Kagami... But don't think that he has given up!

I hope you liked this chapter, and please leave a review!
