Alice Gunjo (Kuroko no Basket)

Chapter 4: Practice Begins (Part 1)

Sunday

Both girls had taken off at 5 a.m to the courts right after a small talk on Alice's House, which lasted 10 minutes before they began to talk about the training for the day.

"So today is dribbling and stamina... how will you accomplish that Hanna?" Alice had asked as the finally reached the court.

"Run arond the block 10 times none stop now." Hanna had commanded as soon as they had dropped their belongings in the benches.

"W-what!? Already!?" Alice reaction was almost immediate.

"Yes, i want to see how long you can last before you faint, fall, breath very hard, or throw up. Now go and prove to me your stamina!" Hanna had explained and Alice made a face that said she didnt want to go. She stood there for a while but not for long before Hanna had glared at her making her flee away from such an evil glare.

'If i remember correctly her stamina should be fine for a normal player but if she's going to be in games with thoes monsters then she should become more resistant...' Hanna thought as she watch her friend run away from her.

Before 5 laps Alice had began to pant harshly but didnt stop until she got to 8 laps.

"I have to stop Hanna, i feel like i will throw up." Alice had warned as she grabbed her breath in the benches.

"It alright for now Alice i was just checking how much you would last and you did okay for now too." Hanna reassured her friend who was still panting harshly.

"Why would you make me run so much?" Alice asked after she had her breathing under control.

"You have good stamina for a normal person but you have seen the team starters. They aren't normal middle school players. They are prodigies, and they will have a different aura in them... my friend told me about it. She told me that the players who go against them lose their strength, stamina, and control which we cant allow on you to happen or you will just be useless. Now lets practice your dribbling the way you were practicing on friday. Run with the ball at a constant speed and I'll yell out for you to stop okay. Ready... Go!"

Monday

"Today we will be practicing on your guarding skills and for that, today i brought some of our friends over!" That was the first thing Alice heard from Hanna as she barely reached the entrance to the court.

"Which ones?" Alice asked in a stressed out manner.

"Rina, Ren, Sugar, Luka, Arashi, Akiri, Pirate, Shorty and Hikari!" Hanna announced in happiness and as she said each name the girls there would stop what they where doing to wave or say hi to their friend.

"You brought a heck load of people to help in practice!" Alice yelled as she saw each girl. The first one she saw was Sugar and she was a very crazy girl with long black hair that reached her waste and covered one of her dymond green eyes. She wore a bit of make up but only on her eyes and lips, not today which made her wierd to look at, since they all got used to it, but her slim body made up for that.

"Alice! They will be helping by playing a game with you! Five on five!" Hanna had said as Alice looked at all of her friends with a smirk.

"Hey guys, been a while!" Alicesaid after hearing Hanna explain, not soon did she went up to the group of girls and began to talk to them with a grin on her lips.

"I already arranged groups for you guys alright, for Alice team it will be Shorty, Arashi, Pirate, and Hikari. For Sugar's team it will be the rest of you alright! Okay stretch for a while and then we will begin!" Hanna adviced as she sat down on the bench near Alice. Without a second to spare Alice went up to her and asked her the question Hanna knew she would ask.
