Oopsie daisy...sorry for the wrong 'chapter naming'...so, let's move on shall we?? :)
--------------------------------
-Kuroko P.O.V-
"Oii Kuroko!!", Kagami-kun nudge me. "What is it Kagami-kun?", I asked. "W-What is she doing here!?", Kagami-kun panicked. "I know that she shouldn't be here...just let her be", I smiled.
"It's nice seeing Akashi-kun and Mana play together again...afterall today might be the last day they...", I sighed.
-Mana P.O.V-
I substitute Chihiro-senpai. "Reo-senpai, Nebuya-senpai, Kotaro-senpai, I'm looking forward working with you all", I bowed. "Mayoi-chan! What are you doing here!?", Reo-senpai panicked. "Do not worry, I will do my best", I said determined. They all stared Akashi for decision. "Let her be", Akashi answered emotionless.
"Alright", I nodded.
"About before...I would like to apologize", Akashi said politely to the senpai. The senpai's surprised, for the Emperor to apologize...must be something unbelieavable. "Don't worry about that, Sei-chan", Reo-senpai grinned. "Same here", Nebuya-senpai smiled. "Since it's the Captain...then I'm okay", Kotaro-senpai blushed.
"Now let's not waste our time", I staggered. "Haii!", they chorused. Taiga get the first ball, he's currently in the Zone. Tetsuya watched every of my movement.
"He's observing me...".
I averted Tetsuya gaze by appear right in front of him, he was shocked...to the extent almost fall, I wasn't called by the name 'Illusion' for nothing. "Kagami-kun!", Tetsuya passed to him. Taiga faced Akashi in one on one. When Akashi is about to steal it, Taiga passed it to the three point shooter, Junpei Hyuuga.
"I can't let him score more further", I rushed to Junpei Hyuuga and steal before he could jump.
"What the-!? Who the heck is he!?", Junpei Hyuuga shocked.
"It's funny to see they were tricked by my disguise as a male", I giggled.
"This is it", I prepare my shooting stance.
But Teppei Kiyoshi and the cat guy block my vision.
"Changing plans", I passed the ball to Reo-senpai.
No one would expect I will pass to Reo-senpai and they didn't guard him. Reo-senpai three point shoot get in.
"With this, our gap decrease", I thumbs up.

"Seirin is tough", I gasped for air.
"Mana, are you alright?", Akashi asked concerned.
"I'm fine", I pant heavily.
"Twenty more seconds! We have to hurry!!", Kotaro-senpai panicked.
"Two points to go and we win!!", I unleash my limit.
-Akashi P.O.V-
"Mana?".
She's entering the zone. "No, don't!", I warned her.
"She's already tired, if she enter the zone now...she might-".
Mana move swiftly through the Seirin defense as if they're nothing. But the cost of using the Zone is...
-Flashback-
"What?", I asked in horror. "I...can't use Zone for more than three minutes...unlike you and the others...who usually last for five minutes", she sighed. She draw a scribble on the paper.
"She said that paper is for...strategy...", I sweatdropped.
"Why?", I asked in curiousity but she won't answer. "I just can't...", she frowned.

After I put Mana on the bed, Ryota called me on the way home. "Akashicchi, I heard you're going to play against Seirin, goodluck!", Ryota cheer me. "Be quiet", I scowled. "Meanie...", Ryota pouted. "Goodbye", I glared. "Wait! There's something I want to tell you!!", Ryota panicked. "What is it?", I sighed. "It's about Manacchi!", Ryota said seriously.
"Mana?".
"Since it's the finals...she might overdo it again...", Ryota panicked. "Overdo?", Ryota words concerned me. "Yeah...you see...you know that Manacchi also enter the Zone right?", Ryota sound nervous. "Yes? What's the matter?", I asked.
"Manacchi...she's not allowed to use the Zone again...", Ryota explained.
"Why?", I was shocked.
"Manacchi doctor said...Manacchi health is not that good...and playing too hard might...decrease her lifespan".
"Lifespan?", I widened my eyes.
"What's the meaning of this?", I snuffed.
"Her health is getting worse since that day Akashicchi...", Ryota pouted.
"I...I'm the one who make her..", I clenched my fist.
"It's not your fault Akashicchi", Ryota tried to cheer me up.
"I...always cause pain to her...I...".
* * *
"Sei-chan!!", Reo snapped me.
"I'm sorry", I frowned.
Mana is in the middle of the enemy territory, being cornered by Junpei Hyuuga and Shun Izuki. Like usual, she passed them as if they never even there. "I am the Goddess, I am limitless", she mumbled.
"Did she copy the way I speak?", I sweatdropped.
"U-Ughh...", she hold her chest.
"She reach her limit", I rushed to her side immediately.
"N-Not yeett!!!", she throwed a three pointer.
"No more time!! Three seconds left!!", Reo-senpai panicked.
"This shoot will determine our fate...".
