Your POV
The second half began and I could tell things are about to get a bit interesting. Just seeing how focused Kise is now means that he has something up his sleeve.
"Kise amazing! He's just like Aomine!" Kogenai senpai said as we watch.
"No, it's not perfect yet," I stated as I didn't look away.
"What?"
"He's only doing it when people beside Aomine come to guard him proves it. He must still think he's off the mark." The coach explained to the others who didn't know what I meant.
"In other words, when Kise tries to go one-on-one against Aomine again, it will be once he's perfected his copy." Kiyoshi senpai said as I couldn't help but be a bit excited to see the outcome. For Kise trying to make a perfect copy of Aomine basketball skills is a bit tricky, but once you get the hang of it then it's a different story.
As Kaijo started to take action of Kise copy, Aomine suddenly made a shot that I haven't seen before. It was so fast that I didn't know what happened. With five minutes left on the clock and fifteen point difference it's going to be tough to get those points back.
'This is bad, Kasamatsu senpai is having a hard time trying to get past Imayoshi-san. They know what he's going to do cause of Momo-chan data.'
The game was getting more intense as each second passed. Then it happen, the one thing that I never thought would happen to Kise.
"So he finally passed Aomine," Masaomi said a bit glad.
"It would seem so but just how long can he keep it up?" Masaomi looked over at me confused.
"Is there something that you know about Kise?" Masaomi asked as I didn't look away.
"Yeah, and its effects are a bit risky if he has to play another game after." They began to wonder what I'm talking about.
'Hopefully, Kise can recover quickly.'
Rika POV
"Rika-chin!" I heard Murosakibara call for me.
"What's wrong?" I asked hoping he was alright.
"Come with me to grab some snacks," he said as I sigh seeing that he likes to eat.
"Alright I'll go with you right now it will give me a chance to grab some things I need." I grab my phone and wallet and went to the coach to inform her that we'll be back before the warm-ups.
"Ok let's hurry and grab your snacks we have about 15 minutes before we start our game." He nodded and followed me to the closest mini-mart hopefully we would make it in time.
Time skip
Masaomi POV
When the game was finally over my brother and his team lost 98 to 110 a 12 point difference. I finally understood what she meant by the effects of the perfect copy. Kise couldn't get up after he landed on the ground.
'So this is Kise perfect copy side effect, he's unable to get up after overuse. In a way, it's like what (F/n) goes through only a bit different.'
"Masaomi you should go and see how Kise and your brother are doing. "
"Sure but why?"
"Kise lost to Aomine again and your brother will probably feel guilty for letting his team down." She said as I smile seeing that someone that Kuroko and her know went through the same thing.
"Right I'll send you a copy of the game when I get back home," I said as I got up and headed to the locker room where they were.
"Say hi to the guys for us kay," she said as I waved without turning to them
'Yukio is probably beating himself up right about now its best to not annoy him for a while.'
Haruto POV
"All right! We won the inter-high quarter-!" Wakamatsu yelled but was sprayed with water by Imayoshi-san.
"Do you have to do that every time?" He asked as I sigh and looked around to see Aomine missing.
"Hey, where's Aomine?" I asked everyone only to get word he already left.
"What? That was quick." Sakurai said surprised seeing that he's more close to Aomine.
"That game was really close! Why aren't you guys more excited?" Wakamatsu said as he dried his face with a towel. I could be asking the same thing but didn't say much since I'm only a manager.
"I guess I was nervous but in the end we won despite everything that happened," Imayoshi-san said as he opened his locker.
"Even that idiot gave it everything he had!" Wakamatsu said as I sigh.
"I see, you guys don't know," I said out loud as they seem confused about my statement.
"Aomine still hasn't shown us everything he can do," I said as I remember what (F/n) said to me during our time in the studio.
"He has shown me once before... he has an even higher level," Imayoshi-san said with a smile that I couldn't help but smile.
"Well he can't do it all the time, what he didn't do this time, he probably couldn't do. That's why he still can't win against the queen no matter what state he's in." I said as I grab a few things as everyone seem interested.
"There's someone he can't beat?" Wakamatsu said as I smile.
"Seirin happened to recruit her but we were lucky that time when we went against them. I highly doubt we can win against them again if she there. Especially knowing that Aomine has never once beaten her in a one-on-one match. That's when we should begin to worry if we lose." I said as grab my bag and headed to the door. I made sure to have her the package, that (F/n) entrusted with me, in my bag.
"If I were really worried about him, I'd say it's the soft spot left inside him," Imayoshi-san said as I began to wonder if there that were true.
Your POV
As we began to leave the building I looked in the bag where we hid Nigō. Since we weren't in the stands anymore it would be fine to let him out.
"Hey Tetsu you should let him out now," I said as he nodded and place the bag down, and kneeled to grab him.
"Are you sure this is the right way?" Someone said but I didn't turn around. Seeing that it doesn't have to do with me or anything.
"Huh? I feel like we've been here before. Where are we again?" I recognize that voice immediately and felt shivers up my spine. I can't forget his voice not after what happened.
"Come on this is no laughing matter we need to get back before our game starts!" The girl yelled at him seeing she was brave enough to lecture him.
"I know but I don't want to play basketball anyway, it's so tiring. "
"Hey, you have no choice now since I had to pay for the extra food you wanted." She said as they passed both me and Tetsu without noticing us.
"Oh wow, this new flavor pretty good." I noticed where they went and no doubt about it it was him.
'Was that Rika? Why is he with her?'
"What are you two doing?" Kagami asked as he waited for us to catch up.
"We'll leave you behind!" Hyuga senpai yelled as I felt my fear coming back.
"What's wrong?" Kagami asked as he came stood beside me.
"Nothing... I just forgot to greet someone." Tetsu said as I began to catch up with the others quickly. Avoiding answering Kagami's question at the moment.
'I need to get out of this place and quickly.' When I got outside I felt a bit better now that I'm away from them.
"Are you alright? You look a bit pale Kurosaki-san," Kyoshi senpai said as I stepped back and gain some distance away from him.
"I'm fine," I said hoping that he wouldn't ask me again.
"Are you sure? You got sick last time you were like this." Hyuga senpai said as everyone was getting worried.
"I'm fine I just remember that I forgot to do the extra credit to make up the missing days," I said but I area did that and had it ready to be turned in. They seem to accept my lie and waited for Tetsu and Kagami to arrive.
'Murosakibara Atsushi and Azumane Rika are in the same school. What are the odds that they would be friends?'
