"I brought her."
"Momoichii, what do you mean?" Kise asked curiously.
Nakbin turned around and saw a girl with dark hair and two pig tails. She is slightly taller than Momoi.
She smiled at the newcomer and walked towards her direction.
Otsuubo Taisuke recognized his sister immediately. "Tamara, what are you doing here?"
"Oh Aniki! Sorry I didn't tell you. I came to meet Nakbin of course. I'm so happy finally meeting you."
"And so am I Tamara-sama. I'm glad you accepted my invitation. You're just in time."
"Eh? Invitation? Invitation to what?" Takao asked nosily.
"Basketball of course." Nakbin replied straightforward.
"Hah?"
"Nakbin." Kuroko called her sternly. He didn't hear about this either. He doesn't find it amusing that his sister keeps on making decisions on her own and not telling him, despite the fact that he respects her independence. Yoon looks like he is aware of this though.

"Now everyone's gathered here, how splendid! Will you hear me out then?"
Everyone settled down, finding their own seats.
"I just had an idea how to make this tournament interesting. I actually agree with Shoichi-sama that it is better if you guys don't stay in the same team. But instead of draw lots, why don't you put yourselves into cluster like maybe based on your personalities?"
"Hah?"
"Oi Nakbin! Don't suggest something stupid again!"
Nakbin pouted at her shadow's remark then pulled a huge white board towards her.
"Where did you even get that?!" Hyuuga asked.
"For example..." Nakbin wrote something on the board.
"There!"
"What?!"
"This is one example. In this group, Tyelko will be the center, Yoon will be the point guard, I will be the shooting guard, Aniue will be the small forward and Chihiro-sama will be the big forward." Nakbin said with a wide grin.
"What kind of line-up is that, Nakbin?! And also that's power forward not big forward!"
"Nakbin, the way you say it makes me feel a little peeved." Kuroko sternly said.
"Sorry Aniue but I wasn't implying that you are short."
Kuroko irked at his sister's remark.
"You just said it Nakbin!" Yoon yelled. They heard few snickers from behind. Kuroko turned around with a glare, shutting them up. The phantom sixth man can be really scary.
"Anyway, that's for my first example."
"Well that's interesting Nakbin-chan. All phantoms in one group." Imayoshi said with his usual smile.
"Wait a minute, you shoot?" Tsugawa asked in surprise.
"Sort off. Well probably not as good as any shooting guard but I...love it." Light blush tinted her cheeks, making her look more adorable.
"Anyway, I have set more examples. Next line up probably we can have oh! The scary captains!"
"Hah?!"
"Yes! We can put Junpei-sama, Yukio-sama, Shouchi-sama, Taisuke-sama, and Shuzo-sama! We can also add Mako-chan and Seiju at the group!"
"What's with another ridiculous line-up, Nakbin!" Yoon retorted.
"Hmm...interesting." Imayoshi smiled evilly.
"Why am I with the same group as Imayoshi?!" Hanamiya asked angrily.
"You got a problem with that?" Imayoshi asked back, silencing him.
"Why am I included in that group?" Nijimura asked himself.
"Nakbin..." Hyuuga's aura turned dark again.
"I'm actually flattered that you put me in the same group, my empress..." Akashi hissed, his eyes are now mismatched again. Hearing him call her his empress makes the others jealous.
"It is because you are scary Seiju." Nakbin chided.
"That was too straightforward." Kotaro said.
Midorima frowned. Nakbin calls Akashi in two names. Does she know there's two of him?

"Next, the group of meanies...Mako-chan, Shougo-sama, Daiki-sama-"
"Oi! Don't put me with that guy!" Aomine retorted, pointing a finger at Haizaki.
"You are really fond of me, aren't you my evil queen..."
"Well you somehow blend in this group too, Mako-chan."
The Kirisaki players snickered angering Hanamiya.

"If you don't want that then maybe we can have the group of Bottomless Stomach."
"Ah! Bottomless-"
"Izuki, shut up!"
"Hah? What kind of group name is that?" Aomine asked. Takao laughed out loud.
"Well people who will be in this group love to eat such as Shigehiro-sama, Atsushi-sama, Eikichi-sama, Taiga and of course you, Daiki-sama."
"As if I will be in the same group as Bakagami!"
"As if I will also agree to be in the same group as you Ahomine!"
Nakbin bit her lower lip. "Well, what about team glasses? We can put Shoichi-sama, Junpei-sama, Shintaro-sama-"
"I don't think that will work either, nanodayo." Midorima butted in. Takao laughed again. This time Seirin joined in.
"Takao!"
"Why not, Shintaro-sama?"
"Nakbin...you really like angering your sempai?"
Nakbin stiffened at Hyuuga's remark.
"Okay... Pretty Faces then. We can have Reo-nee, Ryota-sama, Yoshitaka-sama, Shun-sama, Tyelko and Yoon!"
"I'm flattered you find me beautiful my quee-" Yoon hit Moriyama in the face before he can finish his sentence.
"Nakbin! I'll kill you!"
"Well I don't mind being in that group." Reo said with a smile, batting his lashes at Tyelko. The latter tilted his head innocently.
"Me neither..." Kise added with a sparkling smile. Kasamatsu smacked him on the head. "Itaii!!! Sempai what was that for?!" Kise cried.

"We can also have Team Beasts, composed of Kotaro-sama, Taiga, Daiki-sama-"
"Stop putting me with that guy!" Aomine yelled.
"As if I will also play in the same team as you!" Kagami yelled back.
"Well I like team beasts." Kotaro said.
"Shut up!!!" Both aces yelled at him.

"Okay The Linguistic Group then."
"Linguistic? That group sounds cool." Koganei said.
"We can have Kazunari-sama, Shun-sama, Yoshitaka-sama-"
"Why are those people in that group, nanodayo?" Midorima asked.
"Well they happened to like saying punchlines and make jokes."
"Is that your definition of linguistic?!" Yoon asked irritatingly.
"Well..."
Yoon groaned in frustration. The others sweatdropped.
"What about The Eyes? We can put Kazunari-sama, Shun-sama, Tyelko and Seiju."
"Stop putting people into squads! And that group sounds creepy!"
"Tsundere group then. This time you can play with Shintaro-sama and Mako-chan."
"Nakbin!"
"I'm not a tsundere!"
"This is ridiculous, nanodayo!"
Everyone laughed at the three unfortunate tsunderes.
"The weird group then, where people here may or may not fit in any category and their personalities are hard to understand sometimes like Mako-chan, Teppei-sama and you of course, Yoon."
"Why did you put me in the same group as that idiot?!" Hanamiya fumed.
"Oh Hanamiya we finally get to play together!" Kiyoshi said with a goofy smile.
"Shut up! We will never be in an official group!"
"I have enough of this Nakbin!" Yoon retorted.
Nakbin exhaled resignedly. "Fine. That was just a suggestion. You my lords shall find your groups then. I'll just be with my fellow kind."
"Hah?"
Nakbin high fived Momoi and Tamara.
"Yeah!"
"Ah... You mean you are going to form a group of girls? How can you even defeat us?" Haizaki asked in a mocking tone.
"Watch your tone Shougo-sama. Don't get so full of yourself. That's not nice." Nakbin scolded.
"Whatever you say."
"There's only three of you though." Takao chided.
"Make that four." Riko stepped up.
"Eh? Coach?" Furihata stammered.
"Count me as well."
"Alex?" Both Kagami and Himuro were surprised, at the same time they feel excited. Alex is their mentor after all.
"And I'll coach them." Masaki Araki, coach of Yosen spoke up, causing the others to look at her direction in shock.
"I see. We will be somehow fighting each other again, huh?" Kagetora told Masako.
"What? You mean?" Kasamatsu asked but his coach cut in.
"That's right Kasamatsu. This won't be an official game without the coaches."
Behind him are the other coaches from the other teams and the head coach of Teiko.
"Coach?!" Momoi was surprised to see their former coach. Now this sounds like grand reunion.
"However I have one request." Coach Nakatani butted in. "I want to see these phantoms play together against whoever wanted to fight them."
"You mean, Nakbinchii included?"
"Why not? Masako and Riko-tan have been telling us proudly about Nak-tan." Kagetora walked towards the girl's direction.
"Neh Riko-tan, she's so cute! Let's adopt her then you will now have a baby sister!" Riko hit her father in the face causing him to wail in pain.
"Sorry about Papa, Nakbin-chan. Why don't you show us how you play. I brought some gym clothes for you."
"That's alright, Riko-sama, I already brought mine though, thank you."
Nakbin looked at her brother. Kuroko nodded in approval, as well as Chihiro.
