(KnB) Behind The Mask

It Is A Deal

YUUKA'S POV

It was a really great day today. I met new friends and I have played basketball after classes. Well I miss playing it since it is like many months past by since I didn't play it. I also got everyone's cellphone number in case of emergencies and stuffs.

I also promised to coach, I will tell the other members who am I in the right time.

"Yuuka, aren't you hungry?", my brother asked me.

"No, I'm fine thanks," I said and continuing what am I doing.

Ring. Ring.

I pick up my phone and someone just message me. It was from coach.

Fr: Coach Riko

"Yuuka, I have made up my mind. You can play basketball but only in two quarter. Is that okay for you?"

Well this is unexpected for my coach.

Fr: Yuuka 

"It's fine I guess."

COACH RIKO'S POV

I have made my mind and I wanted Yuuka to play only in two quarters in the game. I still can't make a girl play basketball. She might have awesome skills and techniques but I won't let the others know that she was a girl- we are going to be in a big trouble because of that. We can't fully take the risks and for her to be able to rest.

I have texted her about that and she agreed.

But aside from that, her real skills can only show in the game during her days in Teiko High. I know beside those skills she showed me at the short practice, she has many techniques that still haven't show us.

. . . . .

Everyone that are a member of the Seirin's Basketball Club gathered in the gym. As usual, they have practiced. But not for Yuuka, she still need to have plenty of rest. They believed that she may need to conserve her energy and play later.

"Only two days before the fight over Touka High, huh?", Yuuka thought herself.

"Oi!", someone called her which she doesn't hear it. "Oi Yuuka, don't screw around."

"A-ah? Kagami-kun?"

"You know the battle between Seirin and Touka is going to be occur within two days right?"

"Oh...I already know that. That's why I'm just resting here in the corner so I can have a full stamina later. Don't worry, I'm going to play." Yuuka said while Coach Riko asked her to play right now. She stood up and then joined the practice.

. . . . .

"Finally. REST!" Everyone exclaimed while still gathering accept Yuuka, who is texting in the corner. Her eyes were furious behind the mask.

"Yuuka, what are you doing over there?"

"Nothing, sorry coach but I have a important meeting....I'm so sorry..."

"S-sure...", the coach said and she leave. She need to meet a one certain person. A person which cause a mess.

"M-Midorima-kun?"

"Oh, it's you, Yuuka." The green haired boy with an eyeglass saif. And as usual, he has a stuffed toy with him, er....I mean lucky item. "What is that?"

"The lucky item for today, the horoscope said we Cancer will be have a bad luck starting tomorrow to Monday. This made the bad luck go away."

"Um, okay? By the way why did you call me here?" And after that, everything becomes serious all of the sudden. "I know how you guys can beat Touka...."

"Ha? Becoming so friendly? Why so sudden?" Yuuka said while taking off her mask. And smiled.

. . . . .

She started walking in the streets towards her home. She gathered the information that Midorima told her, according to him, it is very important. She can't fully understand why he was helping her- the team.

"Yo Yuuka, it's been a long time." A voice suddenly said behind her, making her startled for the sudden action. He faced the person who just spoke, turning around.

"Akira." Yuuka whispered in gritted teeth. In just seeing the boy's face, it irritates her somehow. It makes her have the guts to punch him or any brutal stuffs. Akira Saikusa. The captain of the Touka High.

"Eh? Keeping that poker face of yours? You did not really change?"

"What the hell did you want?"

"You."

Yuuki raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"I wanted you to transfer in our academy and play with me, together with my fantastic team." He said with a smirk. "Tsk, no way in hell."

"So why not we make our deal?"

"Deal?"

"Yes a deal. If we lose, you can do whatever you wanted and I won't bug you again. But if we win......join us. Did I make myself clear?"

"A challenge? Tsk, you bugs are easy to beat! Seirin is much much more better than you losers and cheaters are!" Yuuka snorted.

"Eh? What a brag, I need to go. Have a good night and Sweet dreams...." He said and then a cocky smile formed in his lips.

"Tsk, have a bad night and a nightmare, hope you won't woke up," Yuuka frowned and leaving him alone.

. . . . .

"Yuuka, you're late!" Kuroko said, crossing both of his arms.

"Gomen ne, onii-san. Just a important meeting."

"About what?"

"Um, I just met Midorima-kun and-"

"Midorima? Well that's fine.....", Kuroko said. He doesn't what to let her sister talk to strangers though; what a protective brother. But it's okay if it's one of his friends (or trusted past friends) she's been talking to.

"Well that was quick...", she chuckled and went to her room and she lay down on her bed.

"Yes a deal. If we lose, you can do whatever you wanted and I won't bug you again. But if we win......join us. Did I make myself clear?"

"We will definitely win, you, Akira, haven't seen how the other players play fair and square and how the coach's plans and obversation is too good

"And I hope you Akira will really have a bad night and a nightmare and won't woke up," she mumbled and then snickered.

"So are you gonna sleep or not?" Kuroko suddenly said behind the door.
