Your POV

'No matter what Kise does Aomine seems to be able to block or stop his passes. Not even using his opponent's moves will help him against Aomine.' I observed the game as much as possible as Masaomi recorded the game.

'I'll have to ask for a copy later,' I began to feel like I'm being watched and I don't like this feeling.

"What wrong?" Masaomi asked as I shook my head.

"It's nothing just my imagination," I said as he seems to doubt it but look back at the game.

'I just hope it was my imagination.'

Masaomi POV

As the game proceeded I could tell something is going on with Kise but it's almost like it's taking his time to reach his goal.

'Could it be that he's trying to copy Aomine style? If he is them his body won't be able to handle the strain of muscles that Aomine uses to play. Not only that with all the running around he'll be exhausted to handle Aomine til the end of the game.' I began to worry for Kise until I saw Nigō head popping out of Tetsu's bag.

"Tetsu your bag," (F/n) said as he looked down and patted Nigō head making sure not to be seen.

"Since when have you guys had a dog mascot?" I asked quietly since they sneak him in.

"It's a long story I'll explain when Ayame is around since she'll ask the same question too." She said as I smile seeing that Ayame would ask too. I looked to see my brother kicking Kise probably cause he did something worth getting hit. The buzzer rang and the first quarter was over.

"Can I ask you something?" The guy name Kiyoshi asked as everyone looked at him.

"How did you guys beat Kaijo?" Everyone flinches, even (F/n) flinch too and she rarely flinches.

"Um... with spirit?" Kagami said as I held my chuckles.

'Well at least Kagami is honest,' the buzzer went off signaling the sea quarter is about to start.

'Good luck guys.'

Haruto POV

'As I continue to observe the game I can't help but notice that Aomine is actually trying. Is it because he's up against Kise and he doesn't plan to go easy on him?

'Kise is good at copying people but he has no chance with Aomine since he knows Kise will celery to copy Aomine style.' I notice he try to use Imayoshi-san technique but sadly Aomine stop his shot.

"Haruto senpai?" I looked over to Momoi-san and see her looking at me like she been observing my moves.

"Is something wrong Momoi-san?"

"Just now Ki-chan tries to use Aomine move," she as I looked back and saw what she meant.

"This could be a problem the only person to have successfully copied Aomine is Kurosaki-san," I stated as I began to worry if Kise is reaching the same level as her.

Kagami POV

"Achoo!" I looked to where (F/n) was at seeing that she had sneeze as quietly as she could.

"Are you alright? You're not getting sick again?" Coach asked as we got concerned about her health after what happened last time.

"No I'm alright I think someone is talking about me that's all." She said as everyone sigh in relief.

"You should still take it easy I still want to see you beat Aomine like you did back then. As well show Kise he still has a lot to learn to reach your level of being a perfect copycat." Masaomi said as the buzzer went off.

"Looks like it's the half-time break you should grab some fresh air it's a bit stuffy here sometimes," Masaomi said as he stretched out his arms.

"Right maybe some fresh air is what I need." She said a she got up from her seat.

"Just be careful alright," Hyuga senpai said as she nodded and began to head out.

"I'll be back too Nigō need some fresh air too," Kuroko said as Hyuga nodded saying that he should be careful.

Your POV

I reached outside and stretch my sore muscles after sitting for so long. I forgot to leave my bag at my seat and accidentally brought it with me.

"Eh Kurosaki-san?" I looked back and see Haruto senpai standing there in shock.

"Yo long time no see Haru-chan?"

Haruto POV

I couldn't believe my eyes there she was Kurosaki-san standing there like nothing happen. Am I dreaming or is this real?

"Haru-chan you okay?" She asked as I snap back and nodded.

"That's good to know," she said as turn to look up at the sky.

"It's been what one year since we last saw each other?" I ask as she nodded.

"Yeah seems like yesterday I saw you and Sora leave for high school. Can't say I miss the jeep with the way he treated us but we do miss you at the studio." She said as I smile seeing that she has nothing against me.

"Yeah sorry that Sora acted like that he can be dramatic sometimes," I stated as she laughs softly.

"It's fine but it's Rika that he should apologize to the most." I couldn't help but agree I couldn't but feel a bit guilty when he yelled at her for messing up the routine. In all honesty, Ayame and Masaomi told him to chill out but he would ignore their words.

"Do you still talk with him?" She asks as I rubbed my head.

"Yeah but he doesn't reply to my texts sometimes but sometimes he does."  She smiles as she seems to be thinking of something.

"So you that glasses guy seem pretty close. Do you like him?" She asked as I blushed looked away feeling my face getting warm and my heart racing.

"We're just friends nothing more than that!" I said as she smiles.

"Sure you are and reincarnation of Cleopatra," she said sarcastically meaning she knows there's more to it.

"Listen nothing is going on between us and I'm not sure what my feeling are for him. Is it alright for me to feel this way?" I questioned since I didn't understand my feelings either.

"So what if your both the same gender if you like him go for it. If he doesn't feel the same way then that's his loss and you could move on." She said bluntly.

"Seriously Kurosaki-san I-"

"(F/n)," she said interrupting my sentence.

"Right sorry but as I was saying it's easy said than done. I don't want to ruin our friendship just because I have a crush on the guy." She looked up at and smile.

"Honestly I don't understand people sometimes." She said out loud making me sigh.

"The game will be starting soon," I said as we both look up at the blue sky

"Yeah I should get back to my team or they start to worry where I am." She said as began to head back inside.

"Hey, can I ask for a favor?" She said out of the blue.

"Sure what is it?" She pulled out a box and handed it to me.

"Can you give this to my ex-boyfriend?" She asks as I grab the box.

"Sure but why me?"

"Cause seeing how the game is going Kaijo won't win this game. Kise has no chance against Aomine and I sure don't want to see him yet." She stated as I smile as seeing that she knows who is winning.

"I heard Sora join the basketball team where your ex is at," I stated as she seems a bit disturbed about the news.

"If that's true then I have to make sure to be on guard with him." She said making me glad that she still the same cautious person.

"If I were you and Rika I would be careful around Sora. You know he still mad that you were better than him and that Rika stopped being his partner." I warned her but all she did was smile.

"You do realize that even if we encounter each other I won't run away. Plus if he tries something I can just knock him out  or something." She said with a confident smile.

"Alright then I trust you just be careful," she nodded and began to head inside but stopped.

"Haruto senpai thank you for everything and if you see Rika watch out for her. She told me she's at Yosen but if she's helping out the basketball club then there's a chance she'll run into him."

"Right I'll keep an eye out for her and I'll make sure to give Akashi this box."

"Right, I'll see you around hopefully we'll get a chance to go against each other for the Winter Cup."

"Right, and we'll win that game too," I stated as she chuckled softly.

"Sure in your dreams the last game you were lucky but this time I'll be joining the game." She said making me a bit nervous since I know her title and her data that Momoi-san has on her are it's very little since she changes up her style and the fact her style and Kise are the same but very different at the same time.

"Well I can't wait to see what you got," she smiled and waved as she left.

'Maybe she can give Aomine a wake-up call.'

Imayoshi POV

I decided to look for Haruto to see if he's alright. Lately, I've been feeling strange around him and today I just can't help but near him. So far I can say for sure that no one has been suspicious of my behavior but Haruto has been acting weird around me today.

'Maybe he's worried about the game but he's never been like this,' I turn the corner to see him talking to a girl. I could tell they knew each other by how relaxed they are. I notice he was blushing and she smiled but I couldn't tell what they were talking about.

'Who is she and why are they so calm?' I see that she gave him a gift but it didn't look like a gift more like a package. They began to go their separate ways I hid making sure they don't see me.

'That girl who is she and how do they know each other?'
