~POV: 1st~

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

~LOCATION: Basketball court~

Kuroko and I slip off from the two with no problems whatsoever. We head for the basketball court silently, neither one of us speaking a word. Which, of course, is fine with us since we normally walk in silence. The baby blue haired male still holds his neutral expression but deep down I know he's angry. This situation reminds us both of the unfairness at Teiko.

"Hey Testsu-kun," I start talking, "doesn't this seem a little unfair?" I ask referring to the basketball game being played before our eyes. My friend merely nods.

"Yeah. It's always like this though. No one can match them. It's almost like our team is made up of 'super humans'."

"What are 'super humans'?" I ask in confusion as my brows furrow.

"It's an American term I believe. It's used to describe people who exceed normal human abilities," Is the soft response.

I nod understanding what he's getting at. "That does make sense when you explain it. This team really is almost full of 'super human's'."

I sigh as something gets stuck in my head. "Uhm... Testu-kun... are we super humans too?" I ask as a fidget a little.

The phantom seems to ponder it for a few moments before he gives a slow nod. "I would think so. But at least know when to hold back and when to let go of restraint," He says softly. I give him a look saying 'oh' and with that I turn my attention back to the game.

"You're thinking about that too aren't you (F. Name)-chan?" Kuroko asks as we walk. I nod grimly.

"Hai. Even though this isn't on the same scale it is strikingly similar," I murmur as we turn the corner and walk onto the court. Naturally we aren't noticed which makes me feel a little better. I didn't realize that I missed this feeling of getting into mischief. Will Ryo-kun and Tree-kun get us out of this or will we have to do this ourselves? Oooh I'm excited to find out!

I grin knowing either way we will be fine. We step closer and the baby blue haired male stoops down to pick up the basketball that has been forgotten. He straightens and I give an encouraging nod. I'm not all nice. I think. A lot of people mistake me for a helpless victim yet that's not the case. Most of the time I do follow the rules but I have my moments too. Like all people.

I blink when I hear a shout and realize I didn't hear what Kuroko said. Instead I see an angry male holding his nose as the basketball spins on Tetsu's finger. The male makes a move towards my friend and I intervene easily. As the male swings I jump in and turn his arm causing him to hit his own friend.

They start swearing at each other and ignore the rest of us. "Why did you do that?"

"I didn't mean too!"

"How can you not mean to hit someone when you choose where to swing?"

I give a small, low laugh. "I helped with his aim. I don't think he has any anyways."

All the males whip their heads to look at me. Confusion etching itself onto their faces. "What? When did you get here?" The supposed leader of the larger gang hisses.
