“Focus on stretching! Go!” Riko blew on her whistle. We were training in the pool, working on our squats. She wore a two piece bathing suit as so did I. I was wearing board shorts over my bikini bottom, but Riko was still glaring at me. Not my fault I have C cups bordering onto D, I sighed. The guys still couldn’t stop glancing at me every so often to check me out.
“This. Is. So. Wrong. Of. You. Guys,” I said in between each squat. I heard them chuckling at me from behind. I was in the front row in between Hyuga and Izuki.
“Hai! Take a minute break!” Riko shouted. I latched myself onto Izuki’s back as I was too tired to stand. I chuckled inwardly, observing the jealous glares Izuki was receiving.
“Oi! I don’t want to carry you!” Izuki complained. I laughed, resting my head on his shoulder.
Suddenly we heard an unwelcomed voice echo inside the pool building.
“What a cute dog!” Riko snapped her head to look at the newcomer and the guys blushed at the sight: a pinked-haired girl with big breasts like me.
“Oh, Momoi-san,” Kuroko greeted. Koganei gasped at Kuroko. “You know her?”
“Mmh hmm. I’m Tetsuya’s girlfriend. Tetsuya Kuroko’s.” She replied grinning.
Silence….
“EHH?! YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?!” Everyone shouted. I giggled.
“No. She was our manager back in middle school,” he replied nonchalantly. He lifted himself out of the pool only for Momoi to press herself against his bare chest. I smirked, amused at everyone’s expression of jealously. I slid off Izuki’s back and quietly left to pool to check up on Kagami.
-----------------------------------
“Oi! Bakagami!” I shouted when I found him playing basketball. I had pulled a shirt over my head and my board shorts still on, but I was barefooted. I ran up closer to where Kagami was and found another person with him. Aomine Daiki. With his dark blue hair and tanned skin, he wasn’t hard to find.
“This is ridiculous. Did you really beat Midorima?” His deep voice brought shivers that crawled down my spine. So this is the ace of the Generation of Miracles team…
“Teme…” Kagami growled.
“You can’t draw out his full potential,” taunted Aomine. He craned his neck to look back at me, smirking. “And who is this child?” His dark eyes scanned over my body, stopping at my breasts. I crossed my arms and glared at him.
“Kagami, let’s go back,” I demanded, my eyes not leaving Aomine.
“Kuroko’s a shadow,” he continued. “The stronger the light, the darker the shadow. In other words, he becomes stronger or weaker depending on the strength of the light.” He darted past Kagami. “Your light is too dim.”
Aomine dunked the ball hard, rattling the hoop. He turned to face me. “And are you the girl who helped defeat Midorima? Tch. At least I’ll have fun with you later, girl.”
“It’s Fujioka Masami to you, teme!” I snapped, furious. He smirked, only adding fuel to my anger. I growled lowly, feeling irritated with his cocky behavior.
“Ahh…Fujioka Masami, eh?” He mused. I continued to glare at Aomine, watching him rub a hand in his chin. “So you’re that chick Satsuki wouldn’t shut up about. Run along now and go do your ballet stuff.”
I snapped.
I lunged for the stupid navy-haired teen with my hand clenched into a fist. With my light and agile body – courtesy of ballet – I covered the distance between us in a single jump. I came down, punching him square in the cheek. Aomine stumbled backwards, surprise written on his face.
“Tch, Ahomine,” I spat. His hand flew up to his cheek as he grumbled. Kagami stared at me with wide eyes, surprised at my violent behavior.
“Fiesty. This will make things more interesting for me at Inter-High.” Aomine recovered from the initial shock and was now back with his cocky attitude. I spun around, turning my back on the stupid tanned giant and stomped over to Kagami.
“Come, Bakagami. Riko’s looking for you.”
-----------------------------------
“I was worried about the two of you! And you! Baka Masami! You’re a girl! Taking on Aomine Daichi is no joke! Bakagami! Why didn’t you stop her? You’re reckless and…” Riko continued her rant. Kagami and I were kneeling on the hard indoor floors of the basketball court. Hyuga and the others smirked at us evilly, silently supporting Riko. It was only because I left them to go find Kagami while Momoi was here. After she left, Riko intensified their training by multiplying everything by three and I had skipped out on them.
Riko continued her rant as I tried to hold back a yawn – keyword: tried. She stopped mid-scold when she noticed my yawn,
“Oh sorry, Masami-chan. Am. I. Boring. You?” She leaned in closer to my face as I panicked.
“A-ano, R-ri-ko-c-c-chan, I-I was j-just appreciating y-your c-concern for m-me,” I stuttered, frightened out of my mind.
“Pffft!” A snort escaped from the red-hair’s lips which caught Riko’s attention.
“And you!” I held back my laughter when Riko turned her wrath upon the trembling giant.
-----------------------------------
After kneeling down and listening to Riko’s rant for two hours, Kagami and I trudged back home with everyone else. I was so tired from listening to her scolds so I ended up blocking her out for the majority of the time.
Ugh, tomorrow’s Saturday…That means ballet practice from 10 to 2:30.
“Ano…Riko?” I tentatively called out. I was in the middle of the group while Riko was up front with Hyuga. She turned around.
“Yes?”
“Eto…I have ballet tomorrow so I can’t go to practice.” I swear I saw my life flash before my eyes – Riko stomped towards me and gripped my shoulders, shaking me violently. My head rolled around on my shoulders with my eyes becoming swirls.
“Why?! Now you tell me?! I was about to make practice plans for tomorrow!”
“O-oi, Riko! Stop shaking her! Masami-chan’s going to die!” Hyuga shouted. Riko stopped, glaring at me.
“I h-have a performance in front of the prime minister of Britain by the end of the m-month. I’m the lead role as the prima ballerina, so I have rehearsals every other night around 8 to 11.” My vision slightly cleared up. I was greeted by the sight of my teammates staring at me in awe and admiration.
“W-what? You guys are creeping me out,” I said.
“YOU’RE performing for the prime minister of Britain?!” They all exclaimed.
“Are you guys doubting me? Tch.”
“I didn’t doubt you, Masami-san,” Kuroko’s soft voice responded. I threw an arm across Kuroko’s shoulders.
“That’s why you’re my favorite out of these weirdos, Kuroko!” I chirped happily. They sweat-dropped at my reply.
“We just didn’t think that you were THAT good…” Kagami trailed off. I gave him a murderous stare.
“Well, you guys can come watch me tomorrow if you want. Hyuga and a couple others already know where the studio is at because they stalked me last time.” I gave them a pointed look and they chuckled nervously.
“Well, I’m off! Practice tomorrow at 10 if you want to come!” I jogged off ahead of them, throwing a hand up in the air to wave goodbye.
