The Second Kagami (Kuroko no Basket/Basuke)

Chapter Eleven - Like

Sora:

I sighed walking into class, still feeling bad for letting the team down. 'Why am I still stuck in this personality?' I questioned myself. I looked around the class noticing that Aniki was still distancing himself from Tetsuya. Class ended and I walked to the gym not even bothering to wait for Aniki and Tetsuya. I entered the gym noticing that Coach looked like she was waiting for someone. "Coach, who you waiting for?" I questioned walking up to her. "You'll see." She smirked at me. I stares at her awkwardly and wait for the rest of the team to show up.

Once everyone has arrived Coach is about to speak up when the doors of the gym are slammed open and in walked a brown mob of hair. "Kiyoshi! Why are you in your uniform?" Coach sweat-dropped when she noticed his attire. "Guys listen up! This here is your sempai who hasn't been here due to an injury." She introduced. He smiled at everyone and then his eyes stopped on me. "Oh my god! You're the new female player! She really is cute!" He glomped me. I removed him off me and bowed my head. "Nice to meet you Teppei." I replied bluntly. "I'm leaving." I stated leaving the room.

3rd person:

Taiga stared at Sora as she walks out of the gym sighing. Hyuga went to Kuroko and explained to him that Taiga still believes in him and Taiga's only distancing himself because he doesn't want to be a burden. While Taiga and Kuroko are making up Sora is roaming the streets alone still stuck in her split personality.

Sora:

I roam around the streets feeling nothing but emotionless. I bumped into someone causing them to fall backwards. I looked down and I noticed the blonde hair. "Ryouta?" I questioned helping him up. He looked up at me and grinned. "Soracchi!" He exclaimed happily. He stared at me then something in his eyes changed. He then stared at me concerned. "Let's go get some ice-cream Sora-chan." He offered and leading us towards the closest ice-cream place. He held my hand as we walk. 'His hand is so big and warm...' I thought to myself smiling a bit. I felt comfort and warmth in my heart as we walked. We arrived at the ice-cream place and he held the door open for me smiling sincerely. I walkd into the ice-cream place and I found a table for two and sit at it. "I'll go get our ice-cream." He smiled at me. I watched him walk off and I started thinking about how nice he is to me and how whenever he's around my heart flutters. 'I can't like him... can I?' I questioned to myself thinking really hard. A hand appeared in front of me holding an ice-cream cone with vanilla ice-cream in it. I reached my hand out and I took the ice-cream in my hand and I started eating it. He sat down and ate his as well.

"So what's wrong Sora-chan?" He asked startling me. "Eh.. Nothing.." I replied not wanting to tell him. "Come on Sora-chan, I can tell that there's something on your mind." He smiles at me caringly. "Well, Aniki is ignoring Tetsuya and it's pissing me off so damn much. I mean I know that he's depressed and all from losing but that's no reason for him to let it out of Tetsuya." I ranted making my hand into fists. "And the other reason?" He asked. I stared at him and smiled. 'He can read me really good.' "I feel like I always let down the team. I mean I got hurt in your game and hurt in the Touou game too. Why can't I ever do anything?" I croaked straining my voice. The feelings that I've locked up are now forcing themselves open, breaking the locks. A tear runs down my face and I wipe it off fake laughing. "Huh.. Why am I crying? ... I'm so stupid." I cried looking down hiding my face from Ryouta-kun. I heard the sound of his chair screech and arms enveloped me and now I'm crying into his chest. Ryouta-kun held me closer and rubbed my back as I let out these locked up feelings. "It's okay. I'm here." He cooed patting my hair and brushing the pieces of hair in my face away to the side. I hugged him tighter sobbing into his chest. I sat there crying for a good 10 minutes not caring about the publicity. And then something clicked in my brain. 'I like Ryou-kun...'

"Thank you for comforting me, and I'm sorry about wetting your shirt." I murmured smiling. He smiled at me and I felt more butterflies in my stomach. "Anything for you Soracchi." He stated smiling even more. I bow thanking him but in reality I was actually only doing so to hide my now blushing face. His hands lifted up my face and brought his face closer. My heart pounded in my rib cage and I closed my eyes anticipating his lips on mine. A felt a soft pair of lips on the corner of my mouth, just one centimetre from my mouth. My face turned completely red and I broke the silence. "Um, Nii-chan must be worried. Umm bye!" I stuttered running off.

We were now at our training camp near the beach. Surprisingly Mido-kun's team was also training up here so Riko-san decided along with the couch of Mido-kun's team that we should train together.

So I'm here waiting outside of the male bathroom for Nii-chan and Kuroko-kun. Suddenly I heard people yelling inside of the male restrooms. I peeked my head in and noticed that Mido-kun was in there along with Takao-kun. "Eh? Mido-kun?" I tilted my head questioning. He looked at me startled and a blush dusted his cheeks. "Sora-" Mido-kun started but gets cut off by Takao-kun who pulled me into a hug, pissing off Mido-kun. "Sora-chan!" He exclaimed hugging me tighter. I looked over at Mido-kun and he looked as if he is about snap someone's head off. Mido-kun ripped me from Takao-kun's hold and glared at him. "Don't do that, it's uncomfortable for her." He snarled. "But Shin-chan, you're doing the same thing." Takao-kun whined pointing as us. Mido-kun blushed and let go of me turning away. "I-it was a-a-an accid-dent." He stuttered hiding his face. I giggled hugging him from the side, I smiled at him and commented on his cuteness "Aw, Mido-kun you're so cute. Don't worry you can hug me as much as you want." He blushed even more when we're interrupted by Nii-chan's cough. "You're in the men's room Sora." He stated the obvious. I looked around at all the males and blushed rushing out of the room.
