Predator [UNDER EDITING]

Chapter Eight:

~POV: 1st~

~CHARACTER: (F. Name) (L. Name)~

~LOCATION: Kaijo Gymnasium~

The rest of the game went fast paced in the fourth quater. After the third quarter ended I was pulled and Kuroko was put back in. I understood her reasoning. The team wasn't use to me playing alongside them yet so we wouldn't be able to work together as well as they could with Kuroko.

Sure I was a little upset that I couldn't finish out the game but it gave me time to cool off. I got a little worked up when Kuroko got hurt. It didn't show on my face but I couldn't help but think back to Teiko.

"Come on brat! Pick up the pace!" He shouted at me. I grimace as I run back down the court. I've been doing this for the past hour, just running back and forth across the Teiko Gym. Yes, we are suppose to be use to running for extended periods of time but he was ruthless. I had to sprint non stop.

"I'm trying!" I reply through gritted teeth. My leg muscles were screaming, begging, pleading for me to stop. I knew I would collapse soon but those consequences would be worse than this. "Don't back talk me! Ten additional sprints!" He snarled as he returned his attention to prized players. I give a small groan considering I now had twenty more sprints on top of the hundred I already did. 

I heard Aomine ask the coach to give me a break. It was unusual to say the least considering the fact that Aomine liked to watch any girl run. So the fact he was asking the coach to allow me a break was almost unsettling. I heard a chorus of agreements and mentally smiled. They weren't as heartless as I originally took them for.

"She needs to be taught what happens when she messes up. That beast needs to be tamed." Was all the coach said in response. He clapped his hands and demanded they resume practice. I got to the other end of the gym and took a three second break before sprinting to the other side. But my body had taken enough strain and I fell, tumbling head over heels across the hard wood floor. My head throbbing when it slammed to the ground, my legs blazing with a fire so fierce I wanted to scream and die, and my back felt stiff from the way I landed. 

When I rolled to a stop I didn't move. I couldn't move. Everything hurt and my world was spinning and blurring from both my injured head and my exhaustion. I can't do this anymore. I thought miserably. I heard everyting else stop in the room. It went dead silent as I gasped softly for air to fill my needy lungs. A soft pair of footsteps reached my ears but I couldn't do anything to acknowledge them. They stopped by my side and the sound of rustling fabric could be heard. 

The person knelt by my side and gently picked my head up and rested in on their lap. My blurry vision only noted the fact that it was one of the Miracle Generation supporting my head. I closed my eyes and listened to what was happening. "Get her some water. You find her a place she can rest. Make sure her head injury isn't severe. Everyone else give her some room." It sounded like Seijuro. He sounded extremely close so it lead me to believe he was the one supporting my head. It made me feel slightly more reassured knowing my boyfriend would go out of his way to help me.

More footsteps sounded and most of them sounded hurried. I was carefully picked up and I didn't bother fighting him. There was no point to hurt my pained body even further by retaliating. "Leave her. She failed so she handle this on her own. You can't coddle a wild tiger and hope it doesn't kill you." The demon of a coach snapped. Akashi hesitated a moment but didn't put me down. Then I slipped into unconsciousness.

"(F. Name)?" A voice shook me from my thoughts. I shake my head and subconsciously run my hand over the spot I hurt myself in middle schol. I focus my gaze on Tetsuya who had walked over to me. "The game is over. We won." He told me quietly. I nod mindlessly and feel him place a hand on my shoulder and lead me over to everyone else.
