Misfortunes to Fortunes (Akashi x OC)

Chapter 21

Sumire's POV

We bowed and walked to our positions and I saw that their team had gotten the tip off. I quickly glance around and predicted where he was going to pass to. As soon as the ball left his hands, I ran up and jumped to grab the ball.

He had a look of surprise and shock. He tried to take a side step and slap the ball out of my hand but I turned around mid-air and threw the ball to Sei-nii who was waiting at the three point line. He caught it smoothly and made a perfect shot. He walked towards me and gave me a pat on the head. We quickly separated and continued the game.

Kuroko soon started showing off his misdirection that once again shocked the opposing team, and Kagami's dunks weren't half bad. The first half went by rather smoothly with us being in the lead. The second half was where we were getting serious.

'Dad' jumped up and tried to shoot the ball but I intercepted it half way and slapped the ball onto the floor, which caused it to bounce right back up and land right in Hyuga's hands. He seemed shocked for a while but soon recollected himself and shot a three-pointer. 'Dad' looked at me and clicked his tongue in annoyance.

In the last quarter, we didn't even have to get close to the other team. I had made sure that every time 'Dad' was going to shoot, he'd make eye contact with me. Because of our previous actions, this gave him an uneasy feeling because he thinks that whatever he does, I'll just intercept it. And this is exactly what we were waiting for. The more he thinks that way, the less he'll concentrate on his shots, thus resulting in him missing all his shots.

They had already used up all their timeouts so they had to keep playing. In the last 5 minutes, they seemed devastated so me and Sei-nii just stood around and let the other team shoot. Despite no one being there to block them or scare them off, they barely made any shots. The game resulted in a one-sided play. 180-18.

As we walked back to the benches and sat down, I felt Sei-nii wrap an arm around me and pulled me closer to him so I could lay on his lap. I took the invitation and curled up comfortably. Again, my stamina wasn't the best so I felt pretty tired after playing that game. Sei-nii held his bottle close to my face and I took a few sips.

I felt my eye lids slowly drooping as Sei-nii covered me with my jacked and threw his around his shoulders. He was rubbing up and down my back as I let out a purr here and there. I closed my eyes to rest a bit since we're going to be leaving in a while anyways.

I jolted up as I felt someones heavy steps approach us. I lifted my head up to see that everyone had already packed up and was basically ready to go and that 'Dad' was heading our way. I nudged Sei-nii a bit and he looked in the direction I was looking in.

Akashi's POV

I turned to see 'Dad' walking to us and I could tell Sumire had her guard up. I placed my hand on her head so she would relax a little. Once he reached us, Sumire had sat up so I could stand up and face him.

"That was a good match. I admit my defeat against the two of you."

I looked at him sceptically to see what else he had planned. With what I have seen of his personality, theres no way he would admit defeat so easily. He definitely had more to say.

"Ha! I bet you thought I was going to say that! There's no way I would admit defeat to you and more so that twerp behind you. She was definitely cheating and using some underhanded methods! Theres no way that bitch could win against someone as amazing as me! You guys are such losers!"

I was certainly expecting some badmouthing, but he had gone too far for making fun of my beloved Sumire. How could he call her a bitch and say that she was cheating? This guy...

"I was going to let you off the hook, but now that you have crossed the line, you're as good as dead meat. Your head is held too high"

As soon as I had finished my sentence, I grabbed the pair of scissors that just happened to be in my pocket and threw it at him. It left a deep cut on his cheek and while he was in shock, I gave Sumire a signal and she ran towards him. She swept his feet off the ground and pulled his arms back so he was in a kneeling position before me.

He tried struggling but there was no way he could move since Sumire was still holding onto him. when he finally stopped struggling and looked up, his eyes met mine and his whole body tensed and even when Sumire let go of his arms, he didn't attempt to move. Sumire made her way back to my side and stood slightly behind me. I lightly pat her head and she hugged me from the side. I held her head close to my chest and draped my other arm over her shoulders.

"I dare you to use that attitude with us again. But next time, you'll be leaving without a head."

I could see that he had started to tremble under my glare. I smirked and grabbed Sumires hand. Walking to the bench and grabbing our stuff, I turned to the still shocked coach.

"We'll be taking our leave now. We will see you tomorrow for our last training session together."

"Y-Yeah. See you"

We walked out of the gym after I gave that bastard one last glare. I looked down to see Sumire rubbing her eyes. She must be tired after all that. I picked her up and walked to a secluded area and let her change into her cat form so resting would be easier. I placed her in my bag with her head popping out so she could breath. She gave me a small mewl as thanks and fell asleep. I smiled down at her and gave her a scratch before heading back to the hotel that we were staying at.
