The girl on a red cape (Kuroko no basket fanfic)

Chapter 74

Thus the mission to spy on girls failed. The coaches found them in the middle of the game when they arrived. At least they won't face the wrath of one Kagetora Aida.

The girls snickered on the other side.
"Well that worked, didn't it?" Alex asked.
"Well I admit, that was genius. I wonder how will they react after this..." Masako cracked her knuckles loudly.
"Nakbin did great as well." Alex praised the innocent girl proudly.
"I did not actually do it on purpose. I really forgot my soap. Yoon and Aniue will scold me again."
"Don't worry Nak-chan. I'll help you explain to Tetsu-kun." Momoi told her.
"Thank you but why did we have to do that?" Nakbin asked innocently.
"First of all, they will definitely try to spy on us. Those boys have highly competitive streak. They don't want losing not even to girls. Trust me, I know. I used to play with my brother." Tamara answered.
"Aomine-kun too. Not only that, he's a pervert as well."
The girls shivered in thought. At least they are safe now.
"What's a pervert?" Nakbin asked out of the blue. Tamara and Masako looked at her disbelievingly.
"It's hard to explain Nakbin. But being a pervert is not a good thing." Riko explained.
"You mean Daiki-sama is bad?"
"Eh? That's not what I meant."
Masako sighed exasperatedly. "Let's just go back to our previous discussion. You girls have skills but they definitely need extreme polishing. You have to take this tournament seriously."
"Seriously? But Araki-sama basketball isn't really my forte." Nakbin told the Yosen coach worriedly.
"I usually play it with my brother but I am actually a gymnast by nature." Tamara added.
"I may coach the game but it doesn't mean I play it." Riko chided.
"Same thing goes for me." Momoi agreed.
"What's the matter with you?!" The girls stared at Masako disbelievingly. She is one scary woman. The Yosen coach turned to Nakbin. "Didn't you just played a while ago?"
"But..."
"And you! You already know their moves!" Masako pointed at Momoi, quite enraged.
"But facing them in a real tournament?!"
Masako grunted in frustration.
"What she means to say, you don't need to be a basketball expert to play the game." Alex told them with an encouraging smile.
The girls glanced at each other.
"Oh I got it! Why don't you incorporate the things you are good at and the things you love the most in basketball. Besides, it is only a friendly competition. Why not make it more fun?" Alex added. The girls beamed.
Masako smiled when the girls finally brought their spirits back.
"Alright ladies! Let's show those basketball idiots the true power of women!"
"Yeah!"

"That said. Knowing Masako she will definitely take this tournament seriously and she will definitely train those girls to end." Kagetora told the boys seriously.
"In addition they have your daughter and Momoi with them. Those two definitely have impressive analytical skills." Harasawa, the Touou coach commented. Kagetora sniffed and mentioned his daughter's name proudly.
"Those girls will not go down without a fight." Takeuchi added.
"Really? But shouldn't we go easy on them? They're just girls." Haizaki laughed.
"Do not let any of them hear you say that. Especially not coach, she will definitely put you on a Boston crab hold." Fukuda told the gray head. The other freshmen nodded. The rest of the Seirin team paled instantly upon hearing it.
"Okay, so Aida-san and Momoi-san have excellent analytical skills which make them a threat. Alex is an excellent player as well, she used to be our mentor after all," Himuro said.
"My sister is pretty good as well, not to mention she is really flexible." Otsuubo told the others.
Kuroko sipped his vanilla shake loudly.
"Well we have already seen Nakbin play but I don't think that was all. Any secrets you wanted to share, Kuroko?" Imayoshi looked at the phantom with his eyes on usual slits.
Kuroko looked at the former Touou captain blankly. The rest of the boys looked at the phantom intently, waiting patiently for his reply.
"She loves mounted archery. She can finish 39 cups of vanilla shakes in a day. She can converse with animals. She loves climbing and hopping on trees. She plays the cello. She loves puns."
This caused several responses from the group.
"39 cups of vanilla shakes?!"
"She can talk to animals, really?!"
"Puns?!"
"Climbing and hopping on trees? Is she even a girl?"
"What the heck Tetsu?! Not that kind of secrets!"
"SILENCE!" Rakuzan coach barked, causing the boys to shut themselves up.
Kagami, Hanamiya and Akashi noticed that Tetsuya didn't mention about her fear of mirrors. It must be really a big secret that they are actually lucky to know.
"We weren't asking about those kind of secrets son." Shuutoku coach told the teal head.
"I don't think there is any more I can tell you. Besides, she will simply tell you if you asked, Nakatani-san."
"But you see, that girl has better misdirection skill, no offence Kuroko, Mayuzumi." Kasamatsu said apologetically.
"None taken." Both phantoms said in unison.
"Agreed. She has quick reflexes as well." Kobori added.
"That's not surprising. She can obviously put herself in a fight." Yamazaki chided.
"Well we have the best players here. Besides we have the hawk eye and eagle eye here, her misdirection won't work that easily." Wakamatsu said.
Midorima narrowed his eyes. "She was able to escape Takao in our game earlier."
The boys turned silent. Takao sneered and slings his arm over Tyelko's shoulder. "Are you guys forgetting about the dragon eyes?"
"That's right! What's your perimeter pretty boy?" Nebuya asked.
Tyelko tilted his head in confusion. "He means to say, how far can your eyes see, Tyelko?" Mibuchi asked.
Tyelko got up from his seat and pointed at the the other side where girls are having their bath.
"Huh?"
"Ah until that post? That's wide enough." Kobori asked. Tyelko shook his head and gesturing beyond.
"You don't mean?!"
Tyelko nodded. The boys yelled in surprise.
"Impossible!"
"Don't tell me you've seen them naked?!" Midorima asked.
"Is that so bad?" Tyelko asked innocently.
"Wah! No my innocent prince! Delete that from your memory now!" Mibuchi wailed, cupping the poor boy's cheeks.
"Reo-nee! Let go! You're hurting him!"
"Oi Tetsu. Are you okay with that?" Aomine asked.
"As long as you won't teach him things, Aomine-kun."
"What the hell does that mean?!"
"Man, you don't know how lucky you are." Haizaki patted the dragon-eyed boy on his shoulder. Nijimura hit Haizaki on his head after that.
Kagetora gaped shamelessly. He gripped his gun and pointed it at the said boy.
"No! Don't hurt my prince!" Reo exclaimed wrapping his arms around Tyelko. The latter remained impassive though.
"Kagetora-san. My sincere apologies, he doesn't know anything about it. So I suggest you lower that weapon, please." Kuroko told the older male. Kagetora huffed in annoyance and hid his gun.
"So, how do we group ourselves?" Koganei asked, finally breaking the silence.
