We are here for you

So, whose hand will you take?

* Your P.O.V. *

I was taken aback by the appearance of the people I know, and not taking it even better, all of them at the same place.
" We heard what you had said earlier, Tetsuya. And isn't it unfair only for you to offer her joining your clan? If you would do that, then I should do the same thing as well, " Akashi said.
" Yeah! I fully support Akashicchi-ssu! " Ryo-kun piped in, cheerfully adding.
" Get your filthy hands off her, nanodayo. " Shin-chan came over to us and attempted to release me from Ryo-kun's grip.
" No way! I'm her cousin! I should be the one to hug her first-ssu! " He jumped to a high tree branch, carrying me in a bridal-style.
" Kise-kun, you currently ARE hugging her. " Kuroko-kun deadpanned.
" Ryo-kun! Put me down! " I protested, as I struggled to free myself from my cousin's arms.
" Cousin, Shmuzen! I heard from Midorima that you're not blood-related at all, idiot. Now hand her over. " Aomine-san forcefully snatched me towards him.
" Atsushi. " Akashi ordered the purple-headed giant.
" Roger, Aka-chin. " Finally, I ended up on top of Murasakibara-san's shoulder, the others shutting their mouths.
" I think (f/n) here is confused by our actions. Why don't we settle down somewhere and tell her the whole story? " He stared at me with heterochromatic eyes.
" I'd love to, but I'm sorry, I would rather go back and have some sleep! " I quickly threw some smoke bombs, and tried to make my escape.
In the heat, a pair of hands caught me and disabled me to move from my location.
" Ichijo-san, you haven't gave me your answer. " The soft voice said.
" Tetsu, you shouldn't make a dirty move like that twice, you know. You're cheating. " Aomine-san coughed as the smoke screen cleared.
" I apologize. But I do believe that I found her first. " He blankly pointed out.
" That doesn't mean she's all yours to have, nanodayo. " Shin-chan retorted.
" Hey!! Kuroko!! Where are you?!! Riko-san's getting angry, you know! Whoa! The whole generation of miracles gathering here? What a sight, makes my blood boil. " A tall, maroon-red haired man came into sight.
" Kagami-kun. " I looked at the awkward situation we are in.
" Good thing you reminded me about it, Taiga. Speaking of which, the winter battle tournament is coming up, is it not? It'll be a few months left until the annual battle. How about- "
" We face each other in the tournament to win (f/n), right? " Aomine-san quickly interfered.
" That's right, Daiki. Until then, let us see, the clan that comes out as the champion will have (f/n) joined their clan. " Akashi, looking slightly irritated, replied.
" If that's the case, then I won't hesitate to lash out. " Shin-chan scoffed.
" I'll do my best to win (f/n)-chan over to our side, Shin-chan. " Takao-san cheered.
" I'll give it my all to have (f/n)-cchi in our clan-ssu! Plus, Kasamatsu-senpai needs some practice to be able to interact with girls-ssu! " Ryo-kun pumped his fists.
" Heh, interesting.. I might be motivated enough this time.. " Aomine-san smirked at me.
" If it's (f/n)-chin, I guess I have to get fired up.. " Murasakibara-san yawned.
" I'll go for both the battle and (f/n)! Plus, it saves us from having to do anything else... Riko-san will be delighted... And then... our training menu will increase into quadruple of more... " Kagami-kun ended his statement with a tired face.
" I agree with you, Kagami-kun. " Kuroko-kun placed his hand on the latter's shoulder.
" Hey, hey, since when did I agree on this? You guys won't even know that I might run away again. I'm totally against this idea. And I am NOT a price to win, I can decide things on my own, there's no need of you to make that bet. " I uttered with a bitter expression.
I was fed up, I didn't want to be pushed around anymore. I just wish that I wasn't a girl, so that I could live my life without anyone deciding on what should I do.
" Then, from all of us, whose hand would you like to take? " They all said at the same time.
After thinking thoroughly, I said these words with a determined look.
" I choose.... "
