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

Chapter 79b

Hanamiya kicked a can as he was walking his way home. He never felt this strange feeling before and how he hated this feeling.
He remembered the first time he met her. He always thought that the supposed to be boy was really strange. Stupid and intelligent. She saw her expression when he threatened her. She looks so afraid but at the same time she's fearless enough to challenge him. She doesn't approve of dirty play of his team but at the same time she respects it. Sometimes he wonders how the girl can be always both.
He hated it. He hated how beautiful she is in his eyes. He hates the fact that she can make him follow her demands. He hates it how much he loves her. He tired to deny it several times and swore to deny it until his very death but stupid Seto came to him and told him to be honest of his feelings even once. He wanted to punch his face so bad but at the same time he is right. His teammates keep teasing him nonstop which irritates him more.
Now that he is trying to make a move and here comes the Seirin monkey and Rakuzan tyrant trying to steal her away.
Hanamiya looked up at the moon. He won't lose. Hanamiya despises losing not on Kiyoshi or anyone. He can't lose. He has to make her his. His evil queen.

Akashi Seijuro is lost in his thoughts, a shogi board abandoned. It seems he is half way on finishing his game when he stopped.
He never thought this will come to this. He hated her by the time they first met. The defiant look in her eyes. Akashi despises it when his orders are disobeyed and his commands, not requests, are not granted and that girl violated all these rules. Even his other self would agree.
But when he finally get to know her, he fell deeply in her spell. He made a promise to himself that his mother is the only woman he will love. Other women, except for Momoi who happened to be his friend, are nothing but pawns in a chess that can be easily toyed with and he will never fall for such. But it all changed when she came.
She's elegant and graceful and always exceeds his expectations just like his brother. He always holds a great respect and admiration for the phantom sixth man.
Akashi longed for her touch and for her smile. He is almost tempted to kiss those red lips of hers. He almost got her until Hanamiya and stupid Kagami proclaimed a war against him. He may have lost the Winter Cup but he won't lose the second time around. He is still absolute and he will win her. He is the emperor after all.

Kagami cannot sleep that night. After the talk with Kuroko, he was finally given the chance.
Anything that doesn't relate with basketball never crossed his mind, not even girls, until she came. At first he thinks it was only a simple infatuation, his friendship with Kuroko must be the reason that makes him attracted to her but he got it all wrong.
He stared at the ceiling as he thinks of her. She's hard to notice just like her brother. She's young and innocent but not so defenseless. She's elegant and graceful, something he really looks for a girl. Kuroko even teased him that what he is looking for is kind of his opposite which must be really true.
He blushed when he remembered her naked form before and mentally slapped himself. How much he longs for that bond. He wanted to hold her small form in his arms and kiss her deeply. He imagined them having children, running around their house as they happily cook together. He promised Kuroko that he will make her happy once she chose him. He won't lose.
"Yosh! I am going to confess to her!" Kagami slapped his cheeks until they turned red.

And so the war begins...
