Riko POV

As the game went on and time was running out, no one was giving up any ground. Shutoku wasn't holding back either every time Midorima would go for the long distances shots (F/n) would copy the same move and try to keep the game as small as possible.

"There's no time!" Kogenai yelled

"Go get them!" As the first years cheered for the others.

As Izuki had the ball Shutoku number 5 was able to knock it out of his hand, but luckily for us, Kuroko was able to catch it. As Takao try to stop him he was able to use his new drive to get past him

"Yeah!"

"All right!"

"The vanishing drive!" As number 4 went to stop Kuroko, he managed to pass the ball to Teppei.

"Nice pass, Kuroko!"

"Go!" We all yelled hoping to get the ball in the basket, but as he went in for the jump I notice something happen to make him flinch. I was barely able to notice it but the way Hyuga is reacting makes me wonder if Teppei knee is giving him trouble now. As Teppei went in to make a dunk Midorima jumped in to stop him but accidentally pushed Teppei.

"Defense, pushing! Shutoku number 6! Free throw, two shots!" The referí yelled with only two seconds left and with one point behind.

'It comes down to these two free throws now.'

Your POV

I notice that Kiyoshi senpai's legs were shaking a bit, and by the look of the captain's face it was something very serious.

"Hyuga senpai what should we do?" I asked as everyone waited to hear him out.

"Screen them out! Don't let them get the ball!" He said as I couldn't help but worry if Kiyoshi senpai is alright or not.

"We're just being prepared, we're not telling g you to miss, of course." Izuki senpai said to Kyoshi senpai nodded.

"Of course, making both of these shots makes it the fastest way to win," I said as I felt my heart racing from the amount of fun we're having.

"Let's have some fun," Tetsu said with a calm expression. As Kiyoshi senpai took a deep breath and smiled at us.

"That's what I'll do."

We all took our place near the basketball as Midorima was on the left and his captain on my right. My height difference with these is shorter but my jumps are far stronger. In the referí game Kyoshi senpai the ball I could feel the tension in the air.

'Please make it in,' I prayed as I kept my eye on the ball as he made the first shot. It felt like time slowed down when he went for the first shot.

"It went in!" The guys on the bench yelled as the first shot went in. I felt relieved that it made it and with that shot in we finally tied with Shutoku. Now is he makes this shot in we can win the game. As Kiyoshi senpai grabbed the ball to make the final shot everyone seem ready if he miss the shot. I could tell something wasn't right he seem more tired now and his leg seem to shake a bit too.

'Something isn't right did he injure his knee?' As he went to make the shot every was waiting to see if the ball will make it. Time seem have slow down and it felt like we were going in slow motion the anticipation was killing everyone. As they got closer to the basketball it bounce back on the rim.

"Rebound!" I could hear both coaches yell and my instinct kicked in as we all jumped I thought I wouldn't reach it but I was able to reach it before Shutoku could get it.

"Go (F/n)!"

I jump as high as I could and tried to make a dunk but before I could Shin-chan jumped and stopped me from doing so. I could feel the amount of strength he was putting in to make sure I didn't dunk.

'I won't lose!'

Masaomi POV

I couldn't believe what my eyes just saw, I wouldn't have believed it even if I have seen it, but both Shutoku and Seirin ended up with a tie-up with 104-104.

"No way your joking?"

"Would they be going into overtime?" I asked Haruto as he sigh.

"Normally yes, but since this is a tournament they're trying to keep the games short, so they have no overtime rules." He explain as we all knew what that means.

"So that means it's a tie," Kenma asked as we both nodded. I looked at both teams and see they are all exhausted and out of breath. Even (F/n) is out of breath and I wouldn't blame her either seeing she had to rely so much on her copy ability from Kagami and Murosakibara. I notice that the Seirin team ran up to high five their the number 7 guy but they ended up knocking him down.

"I gotta admit this was a good game," Bokuto said as I remember something.

"Wait since neither team win what happens to our bets?" Haruto mumbled something to himself as his grip tightened.

"Well since neither team won and ended up as a tie, no one wins or loses on the bet. Meaning no one pays," he said I smiled knowing fully well that he wanted that money.

'Well it's better than losing money but a little extra money would have been better.'

Kagami POV

"With a score of 104 to 104, it's a tie! Bow!" The referí yelled as everyone in the crowd clapped.

"Thank you very much!" They all bowed as they came back walk to the locker rooms.

"Shin-chan thanks for not holding back on me," (F/n) said as looked away.

"Yeah Shin-chan but you have gone easier on her too," Takao said as some began to tease Midorima.

"If you guys went easy on her she wouldn't forgive you and Ayame found out I'm sure we would be in a worse situation," he said as the fear of mentioning Ayame brought everyone in our team shivers.

"Whose Ayame?" Their captain asked as we were all surprised.

'I guess they don't know how scary Ayame can be.'

Ayame POV

I sigh seeing that we had to leave immediately before anyone would notice us gone. I would have stayed a bit longer to surprise them but I knew if I stayed any longer we wouldn't make it in time.

"That game was so intense," Eiji said as he and Eiichi were amazed by the tie.

"It would have been better if Seirin would have won but I will admit it was fun to watch. Even if didn't get to see the whole game," I said as felt glad to see how much Seirin has changed her. I wouldn't have seen her play like that if it weren't for them.

'Maybe it's a good thing that she went to Seirin after all.'

Midorima POV

As I waited for everyone to go home I decided to grab some red bean soup at the vending machine that was nearby. I place the amount of money and before I could press the button someone else beat me to it. I looked over and see it was Momoi.

"It's been a while, Midorin," Momoi said as she handed me the cane of red bean soup.

"Not a bad game, right? Kise said as I remain quiet with both of them. They began to follow me to where the cart is at but Kise had to break the quiet walk.

"If you win your next game, you'll be in the winter cup, make sure you don't mess up," Kise said as if I didn't know.

"That's impossible and don't be a stupid fool," I said kept walking.

"Who are you calling stupid?" He whined.

"I'm not the one you should be worried about," said as I stopped walking.

"Seirin's next opponent is Kirisaki Dai Ichi, Hanamiya Makoto, it's obvious they have their sights set on Seirin in the championship league. They're guaranteed to do something to secure their victory," I said as I started to worry about (F/n) now that she's returned to games.

"One of the Uncrowned Kings... they've got another difficult opponent to face." He said as we knew that he won't be an easy opponent.

"I'm leaving, see you later."

"Already? But it's been so long since we've seen each other." Momoi said as they both ran to catch up to me.

"Woah, what is this?!" Kise said in surprise.

"It's exactly what it looks like, Takao pulls-"

"Arf!" Something caught our attention as we all looked in and see a dog.

'Why? Looking at him makes me so angry for some reason!' As Momoi and Kise grab the dog I noticed something that he left in my cart that made me scream.

"That dog peed in my cart!" I yelled as I pointed at the creature.

"Give him to me, Momoi."

"Why?" She asked not looking at me.

"I'm shooting him."

"No! You can't do that, Midorin!" Momoi said as she proved that creature.

"Arg!"

"Excuse me, that's our dog!" Someone yelled as the dog got out of Momoi's arms and ran to its owners. Which happen to be Kuroko and (F/n).

"Huh?"

"Tetsu-kun, (F/n)-chan!"

"Kurokocchi, (F/n)cchi!"

"Kuroko, (F/n)."

"Well isn't this a surprise to see you guys here altogether," (F/n) Said as she came up to us.

"What are you all doing here?" Kuroko asked as his dog began to lick his face which somehow made Momoi faint.

"Momoicchi!"

"Hey, Shin-chan!" Takao yelled making glad.

"I'm going home," I said as began to walk away.

"Huh, you're leaving already?" (F/n) asked as she seem surprised.

"What? You sure?!" Takao asked as I walked past Kuroko but stopped and looked back.

"Kuroko, let's play again at the winter cup." He turn around as (F/n)came up to stand next to him.

"Yeah," kuroko said as I saw (F/n) smile but she suddenly remembered something.

"Oh that's right, Shin-chan I'm sure you know by now, don't you?" She asked as I didn't know what she was talking about.

"Know about what?"

"Ayame got transferred to Shutoku recently," she said as I freeze where I was standing.

"What?!" I yelled not by anger but by the fear of Ayame going to the same school as me.

"Yeah but I'm sure it's only until it's all sorted out... maybe." When she said that I could already feel the amount of fear I be having now that I know Ayame could attack me.

"(F/n) I beg of you control Ayame to not hurt me," I said as she thought about for a bit.

"Alright but that means you have to do something for me," she said as I flinched.

"Fine, what do you want me to do?" I asked as she smiled.

"Well, how about we go on a date?" She said making my brain stop working.

"Ehhhh?!"
