Kazuya’s P.O.V
I noticed Huyga was on edge as we practiced before our next game and I couldn’t help but feel the same way.
I shot a three and then my calf felt a little funny.
“Ouch” I whispered.
“Watch that calf” I heard a voice smile from behind me and Kiyoshi was by my side in a second as I turned to see Kirsaki Daiichi’s Hanamiya Makoto. “You wouldn’t want to be pulled out because of an injury”.
“I beat you in Middle school” I smirked. “I can beat you again”.
“Nice to see you too, Hanamiya” Kiyoshi smiled grimly.
“I’m glad to see you’re looking much better” he smiled.
“I owe my thanks to you” Kiyoshi replied.
“Don’t strain yourself” Hanamiya waved his hand. “We don’t want another accident”.
“You’re gonna have to try to strain yourself” Kagami laughed as he stood on my other side.
“We will win, this time” Kuroko nodded.
“O...such attitude” Hanamiya exclaimed. “I’ve heard about you two, the 1st year duo”.
“We’re a trio actually” I couldn’t help but added that. “You forgot about me”.
“Let’s hope nothing happens” he laughed as he left.
“Kazuya’s will be off first so we can use her later” Riko explained. “You’ll have to hold out a little while, Kagami and Kuroko but don’t forget there are the others”.

“You’re mad!” I snapped slapping Kiyoshi’s face leaving a big red mark and everyone looked between us. “You’re not going to take the inside alone; Jesus fucking Christ; are you trying to make sure you don’t play for the Winter Cup?”
He grabbed my hand and pressed against his face so I could feel the heat of my slap “I’m trying to take the weight of your shoulders; you’ve been protecting them all by yourself without any help; now it’s my turn”.
“I know how Hanamiya works” I sighed. “If I think you can’t handle it; I’ll be the one to pull you off even if I have to drag you off”.

The next two quarters were a blur in my eyes until I heard that familiar flick of fingers.
“Kiyoshi!” I screamed.
“Half Time!”
“I’m going out for a bit” I grabbed my jacket and then slammed the door closed. “Anyone who is stupid enough to follow me is going to wish they didn’t!”

“Kuroko…?” Huyga stopped once he saw his face. “Anyone else wanting to after our wild card?”
“I might as well go” Kagami sighed. “Kuroko’s scaring me and Kazuya will probably swing a punch”.
“Izuki, I’m pulling you off” Riko sighed. “Kazuya needs to let off some steam”.
***
I walked out onto the court and saw Hanamiya smile. “You’ll lose this game; Shadow Brat” he laughed.
“You forget; you use other people to give you time to play your dirty tricks” I smirked. “I have my own dirty tricks”.
Huyga passed me the ball and I dribbled it past Bubble-gum and Redhead with ease but it was Hanamiya himself and Fisheyes that had me on edge and my hindsight hadn’t kicked in.
