Hello!

This chapter is small, but it was on my mind for a long time and I think it was necessary to post it to better clarify the conflict between Sana and Aomine, because she doesn't like him, and I doubt that she will ever like him, but Kise is a friend everyone, so... Enjoy!

I'm planning a new Kuroko no Basket fanfic, focused on an Isekai world, so I'll be very happy if you read this new fanfic in the future.

Thanks for reading!

Extra Chapter 8

Girl Power

Kise P.O.V.

I had given my all in that match, but it still wasn't enough. My whole body hurt, but I didn't care, it wasn't as bad as the feeling of actually losing a friend. I never thought that Aominecchi and I would end up growing apart over time, but in truth, I guess I just didn't see the signs in front of me.

Even though Moriyama told me not to go after Kasamatsu after the match, I decided to wait for him inside the stadium. He was my captain after all, and I had learned a lot from him, especially how to be better than I was at Teikō. I actually think I liked this version of myself better.

Some girls formed a group to greet me after the match, but I refused their advances and attempts to take a photo despite their encouraging words. It was the first time I felt so embarrassed, not that I cared what those girls would think of me, but because I was worried about what my girl would be thinking now.

Sana had been my biggest supporter over the past few months since we started dating. Still, I knew she feared the day I faced another member of the Generation of Miracles. She said they could hurt me and wanted to protect me, she didn't know them like I did.

Before the game against Tōō Academy started I looked for Sana in the crowd, but I didn't find her, there were too many people, but sometimes I could swear I heard her voice scream my name louder than all the others, or maybe I was just hallucinating. Either way, it was a good feeling.

Kasamatsu hadn't appeared yet, he was probably still wiping his tears, but suddenly Moriyama came running back to where I was.

- What happened? - I asked. It was obvious that something had happened, it was written all over his scared face.

- Your girlfriend is fighting with Aomine outside the locker room!

- Sanacchi is what?

I freaked out as soon as Moriyama finished speaking and followed him to the Tōō Academy locker room as quickly as I could despite being exhausted from the game.

So that was why I hadn't seen Sana after the game even though she promised she would see me as soon as the last whistle sounded.

We ran as fast as we could and I looked at each group we came across, hoping to find Sana, but after a while I started to hear her voice echoing through the halls in an area meant for players only. Sana was crying while Aomine just stared at her with a lost look and I automatically hugged her, fearing he had done something. He was twice her height, but even though she looked like a bunny facing a wolf, Sana went forward again, pointing at Aomine:

- You are a cruel, heartless idiot!

She got close enough to Aomine to push him, which had no effect.

- This is a game, and he was weak.

It hurt to hear Aomine say that, he didn't seem sorry about anything and I didn't want to hear it anymore.

- What is happening? Dai-chan!

Momoi suddenly arrived next to the guy with glasses who had a trickster expression, I think he had gone to get her.

-Ki-chan? - Momoi looked at me, then at Sana, I think she remembered her from Teikō - Sana?

-Momoi! - Sana quickly looked at the pink-haired girl, then looked back at Aomine - How can you be friends with him? Look what he did to Ryōta!

Sana moved forward again and gave Aomine another push, but this time my former friend implied that he would return the favor, which I wouldn't allow. I stood between Sana and Aomine.

- Don't you dare touch her.

Aomine glanced sideways at the small, blonde girl I was protecting, then sighed.

- Let's go, Satsuki - he said, turning his back to me, as if nothing mattered other than his own ego, which was sad and revolting, because the Aomine I admired didn't look anything like this one - there's nothing interesting here.

Momoi looked at Aomine walking away, then looked at me and Sana.

- I'm sorry - she said before running after him.

The guy with glasses said something to me and Moriyama, but I didn't care, I turned to Sana, I was more concerned with seeing if she was hurt or not, but other than her wet face she didn't seem to have suffered anything.

We had arrived before anything worse had happened and both schools were punished.

- Thank you for warning me, Moriyama - I said - but I can take care of Sanacchi now.

My teammate nodded, then followed the guy with the glasses out of the hallway.

When I was left alone with Sana, I finally took a deep breath. She was fine, she was safe.

- Did I embarrass you? - she asked. She was wearing Kaijō High colors from head to toe, even her eye shadow color was blue.

- Not at all - I replied.

- I wore your uniform like you asked - Sana pointed to my shirt. I liked her to wear my clothes before a big game because it gave me good luck - but I guess it didn't work this time.

I shook my head, I didn't care about that silly superstition, I just liked seeing her wearing my clothes, smelling her perfume and knowing that she was close to me all the time.

- Of course it worked, Sanacchi - I hugged the short girl, blonde just like me, her face wet with tears like mine was when I left the court.

A small smile formed at the corner of my mouth, but Sana couldn't see it. I didn't believe she had tried to fight with Aomine because of me.

- I'm sorry, Ryōta - Sana said, hugging me back - I just didn't want to see you crying, and I went crazy when I saw how hard you tried.

If those girls who tried to take a picture with me saw this they would probably cry tears of blood, but I would still hug the girl I loved the most.

- This was a girl power move, Sanacchi.

I was still tired, but I still took Sana in my arms and spun her around twice before putting her down. I was still sad, but it was nice to be able to smile with Sana for a moment and realizing how, unlike Aomine, I wasn't alone, I had love in my life.

She reminded me that not everything was over, I still had another chance and she would be by my side through them all.
