Tsukiko's POV

"Tsukiko-san, are you done already?" Emiko appeared in my bedroom while I packed my stuff for the training. We're leaving today and I'm so pumped up! This is my first time to join a team and already playing in the international competition! How lucky am I!

Well when I was still in my province, we only get to play with other towns, or gangs who want to challenge us in basketball. I was the youngest and only girl player there, but I still managed to chase after the guys' pace.

"Tsukiko-san?" Emiko called me again.

"Yeah!" I smiled, and couldn't contain my excitement. I finished packing all my stuff and zip my bag shut. I slung it around my shoulders and followed Emiko downstairs where Tetsuya was already waiting for us.

I saw Nigou in his bag that was staring at me with its big blue eyes and barked. "Oh hey Nigou, you're coming with us too huh?" I placed my palms on my knees bending down and pat him on the head.

"Well there's no one to take care of him at home, so I decided to bring him with us," Tetsuya said as I nodded.

We exited the house and Tetsuya locked the door before we walked off to Seirin. Kagami happened to pass by our route so we decided to walk to school together.

"Ne, who do you think will the 2 other schools be?" Emiko asked, striking a conversation.

"What do you mean, Emiko?" Tetsuya responded his sister's question with a question too.

"Well, I'm pretty sure 5 out of the 8 schools picked to compete, are the schools of the Genration of Miracles" Emiko started off. "Plus, Seirin was picked too, so I was wondering the 2 schools left in the spot to compete," she finished as we all nodded understanding her.

"Hm, maybe that school Kirisaki Daichi," Kagami suddenly mentioned. Even though I don't know that schools they're mentioning, I asked Kagami how strong the school he mentioned. "Is the team good?" I asked. "Kirisaki Daichi I mean."

"Yeah, I guess you could say that," Kagami replied lazily. "But I don't think they're that good without their dirty tricks."

"What do you mean dirty tricks?" I questioned.

"We're here," Kagami didn't managed to answer my questions since we already arrived at Seirin. And just in time too. We saw the bus already loading our players, and Hyuuga-san and Riko-san were waiting for us just outside at the school entrance.

"There you four are, just in time," Riko-san smiled at us. "Ikuzu, we'll be leaving," with that, she and Hyuuga-san proceeded to enter the bus, with the four of us at their tail.

TIMESKIP 

We arrived at our so called training camp, and the bus parked just outside the gate separating us from the buildings. We got off the vehicle and saw Kise and Satsuki exit the gates and ran towards our direction.

"Kurokocchi!" Kise greeted with his too happy smile.

"Which one?" Emiko and Tetsuya chorused, both of their head tilting to the side.

"Both of you!" Kise cheered and pulled them both into a bear hug.

"Tetsu-kun!" Satsuki was the next one to hug Tetsuya. I don't know if it was on purpose or not, but I think she was shoving Tetsuya's face onto her large breast. What the hell?

"Oi Tsukiko, stop spacing around, let's go inside," Kagami snapped me out of my thoughts as I followed him entering the gate. There was a big quadrangle before the building, and a platform in front. Six schools were already lined up, with us the 7th, and was still waiting for the 8th to arrive.

"Welcome Tetsu-kun! We're so excited to train with you and your team!" Satsuki beamed at him. "Akashi-kun's team isn't here yet, so we couldn't start the ceremony and greetings yet"

"I see," Tetsuya replied with a nod.

"Gah! I want to start the training already!" Kagami whined boredly.

"You really should learn how to wait," I told him with a sweat drop. I turned to my right to see the green haired guy I saw at the mall before, and was scanning me from top to bottom.

"You're the so called Monster Player?" he inquired, sternly. He looked strict and cranky, like he doesn't want to make friends with you.

"I-I guess..." I replied. "Y-You're that guy that gave me my horoscope last week, right?"

He pushed his glasses up. "Yes, that is me. And today's lucky item is," he showed me green porcelain frog. I sweat dropped. "This is, Kerosuke."

"R-Right..." I said, forcing a smile at his weirdness.

"Oi, Midorima, what stupidity are you holding now?" Aomine suddenly appeared staring at the frog that this guy's holding. Hm, Midorima eh?

"W-What are you talking about?! Kerosuke isn't stupidity!" Midorima argued with a nerve pop on his head, and shouted annoyingly at Aomine. The tanned guy just rubbed his ears lazily, completely ignoring Midorima and turned to me.

"Oh Satoshi!" he smirked at me. "Ready to get your ass kicked by me again?"

"That's supposed to be my line to you," I retorted. Yeah, he was the one who always lose to me.

He flinched realizing it, and blushed. "Urusai! I'll beat you if it's the last thing I do!" he pointed at my face even though it's a few inches away. I slapped his hand away and yawned.

"You sound like Kagami," I told him.

"Eh?! Don't compare me to that, red head idiot!" Aomine growled at me in annoyance. They're totally the same.

"Who are you calling a red head idiot?!" Kagami interrupted us, glaring at Aomine. There was a dark aura around them; their foreheads pushing each other's. I face palmed. Don't tell me they'll do this every single day at the training camp?

"Oh, Kirisaki Daichi's here too," Emiko noticed as I looked over to the direction where she was looking. Kirisaki Daichi huh? "Seiho too," she added. Okay, I have no idea about the school's she's mentioning.

"Oh we're the last one to arrive," a girl's voice said catching everyone's attention as the final team arrived. The girl looked over to our direction then smiled with a waved. She dragged a red head guy with her and approached us. "Mina!!!" she cheered excitedly.

Hey, these two... I saw them at the mall yesterday. They're the weird couple.

"Aka! They're all here!" she shrieked and hugged her boyfriend.

"I know Aya, I can see them too," the red head guy said, looking annoyed. This so called Aya looked at everyone then her eyes landed on me. "Gah! It's the Monster Player!" she smiled and attacked me a hug.

"O-Oi Aya, stop it before you suffocate her..." Aomine pulled Aya away from me, as her tight grip loosened releasing me from her hug.

"Gomen" she giggled sheepishly, putting her hand behind her head.

"What? You're the Monster Player?" the purple haired guy who I saw at the mall the other day appeared and moved his face closer to mine while I backed away my face.

"Unconvincingly yes," Aomine answered crossing his arms. "A girl," he rolled his eyes.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I gave him a glare but he just responded with a shrug. Then I heard him yelp in pain that caught our attention as we looked at him.

"What was that for, Aya?!" he complained, tears at the corner of his eyes as he rubbed his foot.

"Stop being rude to her Daicchi!" D-Daicchi? "So what if she's a girl? Girls can beat guys too!" Aya scolded Aomine who was still whining in pain at his foot.

"D-Daicchi," I gagged trying to hold my laughter. Okay his nickname is hilarious!

"Oi! What are you laughing at!?" Aomine glared at me annoyingly.

"By the way, Kuro-chan, what's her name again?" I heard Aya ask my cousin. She even has a nickname for Tetsuya too!!!

"Oh her name's Tsukiko Satoshi, Aya-chan," Kiyoshi-san answered for Tetsuya with a smile. "But we call her Tsu-nyan!" he added. I saw Aya's eyes sparkle and a blush on both of her cheeks.

"C-Cute!!" she cooed admiring me. "We even let her wear cat ears once!!!" Kiyoshi-san added. I sweat dropped. Does he really have to mention it?! Aomine gagged. I glared at him.

"You? Wearing cat ears?!" he laughed, slapping his thighs. I felt a nerve pop and kicked him far away from me. He shouted in pain but most of us ignored him. I even hear someone comment 'Nice kick' from afar.

"Gah!! Cute!" I looked over to see Kiyoshi-san showing Aya a picture of me wearing the cat ears. Hey when did he take a picture of that?!?! "Tsukiko-chan, cat ears suits you!" she cupped her right cheek still blushing.

S-She's weird...

"Ehem," we heard someone cough through the speakers catching all of the team's attention. We looked over to a 40 year old looking man, which I guess is the head of this training camp. He was wearing a suit and is ready to announce something on the microphone.

"So, now that you're all arrived..." he started. "Let me welcome you to the International Competition Training Camp"

GaH! Sorry if nothing really happened her ! =-= still suffering from writer's block!! :(((
