Chapter 10

~Teach me how to shoot. I beg you~

"Yuki!" I yelled out of despair as I finally found her. I hug her tightly.

"R-remi? What are you doing here? What's wrong?" She was astonished.

"Are you okay? Someone hurt you?" I asked her frantically.

"W-what? No, I'm fine. But-"

"Who the fuck took those pictures, huh?" I was now growling at those present in class.

"Who did it? Who the fuck was!"I yelled. I felt someone started to dragging me out, I turned around and I saw Aomine.

"What are you doing Aomine!?" I tried to wiggled out of him.

"You're putting up quite a show in here-"

"Let the fuck go!"I shook him off, but he picked me up dragging me out of the class.

"Let go, let go!" finally he put me down as I was now marching right into the class, he stood before me.

"Knock it off! What the hell's wrong with you, barging in the class and yelling?" Aomine searched for some answers.

"It's none of your business. Aomine, I'm starting to loose my patient…"

"What are these?"Aomine took my phone seeing the pictures.

"Give it back, you dumbass!"and I snatched it away from him.

"Oi, blondie, is it me are you looking for?" a guy appeared in the hall.

"Huh? It was you who took those photos?"I was furious and I stepped towards him.

"Mhm, If it is? what ya gonna do?" the guy leaned towards me right into my face. "If it is? I'm gonna fucking kill you! You piece of shit!" I thought. I couldn't help myself anymore, I clenched my fist and hit hard his face.

"You've done it, bitch!" the guy was about to grab my neck but a tanned hand prevented him from do it.

"I dare you to touch her!" Aomine said staring right into the guy's eyes.

"Get the fuck out of here. Don't even think about to go look for her afterwards."the tanned boy told the guy as he was now leaving. I was looking at Aomine and I felt a strange feeling in me: He protected me. Why would he do something like that? I could have handle it myself. Ahomine!

"Why would that guy took some pictures of your sister?"he was now talking with me, I snapped out of it.

"Ah… I don't really know." I lied. How could I tell someone that some of the Russian's team was blackmailing me? If the coach knew, he would not let me play and if Aomine or someone else knew, what would they do?

"I g-gotta go, now. See ya."I bidden goodbye to him.

"What the hell! I will never understand women…" Aomine thought scratching his neck.

It was true that we were going to play against Russia, but even if we won last time, it didn't mean that we would this time as well. In fact we watched their last game against USA, they thrashed them, completely. They had some new members, and they were freaking strong. If we wanted to breach through their defense, we needed a brand new tactic plan.

Even though I was a power forward, I needed to improve my 3 point shots, I was actually pretty shitty at it. I had to find a way to score points outside the the 2 points area as well. So I decided to ask for help to him. The one who was the best at it.

"Why did you called me out here? It's cold outside."

"Teach me how to shoot. I beg you." I asked bowing at Midorima.

"What?" He asked dumbfounded.

"I need to learn how to shoot from outside the 2 points area and beyond. You're the best long-range shooter I know. Please teach me, Midorima."

"Why would you learn how to shoot from the 2 points area, aren't you a power forward?"

"I am. But I'm going to play an official match as a member of the national team against Russia, in 5 days. They have a really tough defense, I need to find a way to score points from outside the area as well." I explained.

"In five days?! You will never master how to shoot in only five days." Midorima stated.

"Imma really fast learner. Teach me, I promise I will master it by the time the game starts." I told him.

"I'm just gonna show how I shoot." The green haired boy took the ball and throw it, scoring a perfect long-range 3 points. And so, without him realizing, he kept helping me with training, day after day.

"Aomine, what are you doing here?!" Midorima asked to the tanned boy who just showed up at our practicing spot. The playground where I told Aomine to come and join me to play together. He, then, actually showed up.

-Flashback-

"Aomine, temee! That's not fair!" I yelled at the boy. He jumped to reached the basket, leaning and pushing on my shoulder.

"What! You said All's fair I'm just doing what You told me." He said smirking.

"Tch! Cheater!" I pouted. He laughed as he saw it.

Ah… what was that feeling? I was always been bewitched by his smile, it made my heart skipped a beat.

"Oi, what are you spacing out for? I'm gonna score…!" Aomine called me back on reality.

"Like I'll let you!" I snapped out of my thoughts.

"So?" I asked.

"So what?"Aomine asked again.

"Will you acknowledge my playing?"

"Pftt! You have a long way to go, girl!" Aomine said.

"Huh? What you talking about? Last week I've beaten you three times, Ahomine!" I exclaimed laughing.

"Ah! Told you not call me like that!"He scolded me.

"Aomine?"

"Mhm?"

"Is is still boring? Basketball, I mean." I asked him while we were now sitting on the ground, catching our breaths.

"I still find it boring sometimes. It's not like I will find stronger opponents all the times, is it? But, there's one thing that makes it better all the time." the boy said.

"What is it?" I asked out of curiosity.

"It's you."

At that moment I felt his eyes wandering deep through my soul, as if he could see everything of me. My fears. My weaknesses. My vulnerability when he acted like this.

"It's me?" I asked regaining control of myself.

"I don't know how to explain this, but when you play basketball, it's as if you did so that even the others feels your love for it. And makes you want to play just because of you."

"I see. You know, you too make me want to play basketball. Even more when you play with a smile, like this one!" I placed my two index fingers to the sides of his mouth, and making it into a smile.

"Oi! You're too close!" He back away a little. He was blushing?

-End flashback-

"Do I need a reason to be here, Midorima? Rather, what are you two doing here at this hour of night?"Aomine asked the guy, he seemed flustered.

"Midorima is teaching me how to shoot long shots!" I excitedly told him.

"Huh? You never mentioned during our playgames." He said almost offended.

"What do you mean? Midorima is the best at long range shooting, I just thought asking for his help."

"Whatever!" He said bothered.

"Sakurai, we're wasting time."Midorima called me.

"Tch! I don't really get ya!" I yelled at Aomine while he was walking away.

I needed to focus on my training, the match was tomorrow night and I couldn't get distracted by Aomine's childish behavior, he got pissed and just walked away, why in the world couldn't he just hold a conversation like grown up people!?

I didn't even know if he would have come to see me play and I actually been disappointed knowing that he didn't even say some encouragement words. "Whatever! I don't need him!" I thought. I returned to my practice with Midorima.
