Alice Gunjo (Kuroko no Basket)

The Turning Point

The game continued on and eventually they removed Alice from the game as Aomine was enough to win them the game.

"Momoi... He's become more stronger... I believe he's blooming." Alice had spoken up after seeing how Aomine had dodged three opponents with ease and scored more points.

"Y-yeah..." Momoi had responded absent mindedly as she too watched Aomine with shock.

However what caught Alice's attention more was the way the opponents looked at Aomine with defeat already manifested on their eyes and faces.

What was worse, though, was the face Aomine made when he realized that he was the one to make them feel such a way.

'...' Alice just simply looked at him intently until the end of the game, the nasty feeling she had, growing even deeper.

...

"...Hanna... Today's game... Did you see it?" Gunjo asked her childhood friend as they walked back to their homes after their usual training.

"I didn't but Momoi told me most of it though... So... Aomine huh...?" Hanna replied back as she continued to walk without looking at Alice.

"... Hes beginning to bloom... I know i should feel excited about it... but the face Aomine made when he noticed he was too strong for the opponent was a bit heartbreaking." Alice confessed as she look at the ground in front of her but not low enough too look like she was depressed.

"That was something that was bound to happen you know. He had a hidden talent and he worked a heck load to bring that out. It was just something that no one could interfere with. Besides if he truely loves basketball so much he'll know how to make use of his new strength." Hanna replied back as she took a glance at her friend who was slightly frowning.

"Yeah... But i just... Have this nasty repulsive feeling and... Fuck! My instincts are telling me to run away and never see them again! And fuck that shit! I wont leave my friends behind!" Alice bursted out suddenly, her hands clenching at her school bag tightly that it turned her knuckles white.

"... You came to love your team Alice, and im glad." Hanna replied simply as she removed her eyes from her friend and continued to walk.

"... I see them as another family besides you, Sugar and the rest of the girls... But like i said seeing Aomine's fucking face just made the feeling grow bigger..."

"What feeling where you getting when you saw Aomine?" Hanna asked as both girls walked into a park near their houses and sat down on the benches.

"... I felt like... Anger, and sadness was going to begin... The happy moments we all shared felt like they were about to vanish in the blink of an eye..." Alice replied back as she looked at the swings move by themselves thanks to the night breeze.

"You idiot, that wont happen, have a bit of faith in them like you do on us! He just barely bloomed, you never know he might meet his match this year, and if not, he has next year as well." Hanna told her friend in a comforting tone as she swung her feet.

"... Yeah, you're right, besides their big boys now right!?" Alice replied back as she suddenly turned positive again.

"Yeah so just keep playing, baka and dont turn away ever."

"Yeah, yeah, i wont. By the way, when is Pirate and Luka going to play again? Their games are always fun to see!" Alice suddenly said as she stood up from the bench and looked at Hanna excitedly.

"Its going to be next week, people are still able to enter so i think that maybe Sugar and Shorty will enter it for sure... I'm not sure about the twins or about Akiri, Arashi and Hikari, they said they were bussy next week..." Hanna said as she stood up and continued their walk back to their houses.
