[A/N]
Alright so this chapter sheds a little light on the relationship between Mira and her beloved onii chan, Kiyoshi. There's also development on the plot with some new characters.
And of course, there's Aomine who just can't keep his hands off his coach :P
.......................................................................................................................................................................
You can't be serious..!", exclaimed a very surprised brunette.
"I am. That bastard deserved it anyway...", mumbles the blunette with disgust.
"He didn't seem like the kinda guy who'd do any of that.. Maybe he's changed"
"You've known him for 5 friggin minutes..! I've known him for 5 friggin years..! And plus, guys like him don't change that easily."
After the ohh so delightful conversation the coach had with with Kise's old nemesis, Aomine came out of hiding and confronted her about it.
He told her about the past, Haizaki's history with Kise, his antics during their games, the constant bullying, his pestering of girls... All upto him getting punched by the blunette himself.
Needless to say, Mira was shocked at the revelation. He had seemed like a nice enough guy to her...
"Mira-san..!", a voice calls.
"Huh..?", Mira turns away from the blunette only to see Kuroko rushing to them.
"Tetsu..?"
"You guys need to see this..!", he exclaims pulling Aomine, who's pulling Mira, back to the stands to see the ongoing match.
The rest of their team is already there, eyes fixed at the sore sight on court.
"What's goin on..?", enquiries their puzzled coach.
No response.
She pushes through them and her eyes widen at the scene.
Players, scattered across the court floor, swarmed by medical teams, groaning and hissing at their wounds being treated. Some are sitting with ice packs on purple bruises, eyes closed, tears in some, as they wallow in defeat.
And across them, stand five giants, towering over the defeated, grinning at the sight, as though they hadn't given them the slightest challenge, arrogance and disgust shown clearly in their faces.
"Hanamiya...", Hyuuga says through gritted teeth, stiffening at her side.
"How could he...?", mumbles Kagami, eyes still transfixed at the scene.
"Haizaki's with him...", grits out Aomine.
"So is Reo...", mumbles Hayama.
Just then, Hanamiya's eyes latch onto Kiyoshi's, not even needing to search the audience, relaying to him a silent yet obvious message, a wide arrogant smirk on his face, his grayish brown eyes sparkling with a disturbing malice.
'We're coming for you next'
........................................................
"He's back with a vengeance..!", exclaims Hyuuga.
"And he seems well prepared too...", adds Riko.
Back at Keio, sitting in their locker room, the entire team is trying to figure out the best way to get past Hanamiya and his minions.
Kagami steps in next.
"It's like he's got the perfect team... Him against Kuroko, Reo against Hyuuga, Seto( Hanamiya's right hand man, the one with a mole on his forehead ) against Hayama, not to mention Haizaki who's gonna be against Aho and me..."
"And together, they're all gonna be targeting you..!", all eyes fall on Kiyoshi.
"You guys are over thinking this...", says Kiyoshi, running a hand through his hair.
"Teppei do you even remember what he did to you the last time..?", Hyuuga mutters, concern filling his words. "You had bruises everywhere..!"
"I was the one that chose to protect my team..."
"At what cost..?", retorts Hyuuga.
".............",
"Senpai we're just trying to keep you out of harm's way", Kuroko says with slightly furrowed brows, eyes glinting with slight worry.
"He's right... We're not...", but before he could finish,
"Stop acting like he's a goddamn child..!", all heads turn to their coach.
All this while, Mira just stood there, leaning against the locker, eyes closed in irritation, listening to them as they bicker like pre-schoolers trying to find a way to deal with a big bad bully.
"You're benched for the game", she says to Kiyoshi in a stern tone.
"Mira....", he began.
"You're not playing and that's final", she says with warning and walks out of the locker room. Kiyoshi rushes after her.
"Hold on...", he grabs her wrist, stopping her.
"Mira please... Not you too... I'm not that fragile ya know"
"It's not about you being fragile brother... It's just...", her voice falters.
"Just what..?", Kiyoshi asks in a soft voice.
"I can't see it okay..? You getting hurt...", she turns to face him completely. Attempting poorly to hold back her tears.
"I still remember that day at the hospital... That face you made, the look in your eyes when the doctor first told you that playing ball isn't safe for you... That your leg would only get worse if you did... You looked so lost, so defeated...", her voice cracks.
"You hated therapy didn't you..? Always sitting around or going on slow walks, limiting the pressure on your leg... No basketball for months... You hated it..."
"I've seen you staring out the window countless times, your eyes hollow as you watched those kids go at it in the park... The funniest thing is that sometimes you'd even cheer for them...", she says with a low chuckle. "You just couldn't help it...", she straightens a little.
"You love this goddamn game..! And it nearly killed you to be away from it... And it was all because of him..!"
"Mira... I...", he says reaching out. "Listen... That time has passed... I won't get myself in that position again... I was just..."
"Trying to protect your team..?", she finishes for him. "That's what you always say... They're more than capable of protecting themselves... You know that... Then why..? Why do you put yourself through that..?"
He just flashes that beautifully soft smile of his. "I guess I can't help it...", he says with a shrug.
And then suddenly, like a hard gust of wind, Mira crashes into him, crushing him in a hug.
"Baka..!", she sniffles a sob. "Why won't you understand..?!"
"Oi... You worry too much...", he says softly, his arms wrapping around her comfortingly.
"How can I not..? Onii chan is precious to me...", Kiyoshi smiles down at her and kisses her hair as his arms tighten around her.
"Okay now your just being selfish", he says jokingly.
Mira pulls back slightly and glares at him.
He chuckles and hugs her again. "Don't worry... I'll be fine...", he whispers, his tone soft.
"Ohh yes you will be. You're not playing after all", she pulls away, kisses him on the cheek and starts walking away.
"Hey...!", he protests as he runs after her.
.................................................
"He's playing isn't he..?"
"Yeah... He's stubborn that way...", the ball leaves her hand and falls straight into the hoop.
Aomine grabs the ball as it fall to the ground and walks to her.
"And your okay with this...", he asks with narrow eyes.
"Obviously not... But it's his fight...", Mira says with a sigh.
"So what's the final line up for tmrw..?"
"You're on it so don't worry...", she says with a slight chuckle.
"It's not me I'm worried about...", he says as he dunks the ball in, dangling from the hoop.
"Your not okay are you...?"he drops down and walks to her, a look of genuine concern on his face.
"...........", she averts her gaze.
"Hey..!", he holds her chin and forces her to look at him.
"He's gonna be okay... We're all gonna be okay..."
"Don't underestimate them...", she says pulling away and grabs the ball from his hand. "They're more dangerous than you think."
"They're not the only ones", he cuts her path and steals the ball.
"Hey..!", she protests.
"Don't YOU underestimate us...", he says smirking as beckons her forward.
"Ohh I'm not", Mira gets on the offensive.
He dodges, but she swats the ball from his fingers, her intention wasn't to steal it from him.
"Promise me...", she says softly. "Promise me that you'll take care of yourself"
"Question. Why are you all so freaked out about this stupid match..?"
"Hanamiya is very dangerous.... He's hurt a lot of my friends...", she trails off.
"I know that... But what I don't know is this... You..."
"Huh..?"
"Since when do you get so freaked out about some cocky bastard..? I thought you were better than that..!"
"I dunno... Okay..? I don't know why I'm freaking out like this... This is not me... But this guy, he's hurt my brother... He ruined his dream of playing professional ball... He... He ruined EVERYTHING..!", she retorts. "And now that he's got a stronger team, he's gonna come after you..!"
"Let him", Aomine says in a soft yet stern voice. "Let him come..."
"What are you...", before she could finish,
"We'll defeat him...", he turns to her, looking straight into her eyes, a monstrous aura surrounding him. "We'll crush them..!"
Mira just stands there rooted to her spot and stares at the blunette, not knowing what to say. She can feel the tension on the court, his aura radiating fear coupled with a confidence like none other.
That's when she sees it. The reason his light is so bright, the reason he's unrelenting, the reason he's unbeatable.
His commanding presence, the unparalleled strength of mind and heart, a fierce determination to win giving rise to pride that's well earned. Those pantherous eyes, sparkling with an excitement to take on any challenge, also with love for the one sport that drives him wild...
But this time, something is different. There's also something else, a reason more important than the rest. Something that sets him aside from what he was before, from who he was before...
Faith... Complete and utter faith in his teammates.
He knows how powerful they are and he respects it. This time, he's not the lone wolf of the past, but a monstrous one of the present and together with the rest of the pack, he's unstoppable.
They are unstoppable.
Unstoppable... Her lips twitch at the the thought.
She inwardly whacks herself for doubting them... For doubting him. For if he's so confident about their oncoming challenge, then why must she be left behind..?
"You've sure got a way with words", she says shaking her head, a wide smile stretching across her face.
"Never did before...", he says rubbing the back of his neck, his aura resigning.
Seizing the moment of his distraction, she swoops past him, grabbing the ball in the process and without missing a beat, seamlessly falls into position and executes one of Hyuuga's three-pointers, not even sparing a single look at the startled eyes boring into her.
"We're gonna win...", she mutters, now convinced herself.
"Let's win..!", she says smirking at the blunette.
"Hell yeah..", he returns her smirk, walks to her, lifts her chin and kisses her.
Her lips were soft against his. Slowly, his arms surrounded her closing in a tight yet soft embrace, to which the brunette responds by snaking her arms around the blunette's neck, kissing him back with a passion.
They parted a minute later, panting.
"You sure know how to ruin the moment..."
"If that's what you're gonna give me, I'll ruin all your moments...", he teases.
She lets out a slight laugh and shoves him.
"Aho..!", he laughs at that too.
"That shot...", Aomine says pointing to the basket, "That is you... Don't let it go... And please don't become a freaked out mess on me again..."
She rolls her eyes at that and turns to get the ball lying on the floor.
A strong arm pulls her back into a bear hug.
"What you miss me already..?", she teases.
Chapped lips trail soft kisses from the back of her neck to the side, stopping at her ear.
".... Always...", he whispers, sending a shiver running down her spine.
She turns around, fingers sliding into his hair and she tugs, pulling him into another kiss.
"Get a room you two..!"
Their heads snap to the side to see Kagami, with a knowing smirk on him and Kuroko, with a poker face.
"Get lost Bakagami..!"
................................................
"Match No.2 : Semi-Final : Keio vs Kyoritsu"
The air around is filled with tension as the players make their way to their respective benches.
Hanamiya looks at Kiyoshi, an evil smile tugging on his lips, silently warming them of the flood that's to wash them all away.
Reo waves to Hayama and Eikichi, an apologetic smile on his face, almost as though feeling sorry for them for being on their opposition.
Aomine whips his head to them too, only to see Haizaki looking at him, a mischievous smirk gracing his features. He glances over at their coach, his smirk only widens. Aomine glares at him in warning, silently threatening to burn him at the stake if he tried anything.
"Any last words coach..?", asks Kagami.
Mira sighs. "This match... Is not gonna be easy", she glances over to their opposition. "They're strong and dangerous...", she looks back to her team. "But you're no less"
"So fight... Give it everything you've got..!", she clenches her fists. "Show em that we're not to be taken lightly... That you're not to be messed with"
They huddle together around her.
"Show them that if you play with fire, you get burnt", she says with a hint of malice that does not go unnoticed by the rest of her team. They smirk in response, nodding heads in agreement.
Mira stretches out her hand, palm up. The rest piled up on it, one after another, Aomine first and Kiyoshi last.
"Let's do this..!", all hands fly to the air.
"Bring it home boys"
