Gin's POV

*Time skip one week*

The sound of squeaking shoes, and bouncing basketballs could be heard throughout the gym as the first string basketball members did their hellish training.

"Man I thought training was hard before, now I think he's just trying to kill us."

I thought as I wiped my sweaty face with a towel, I looked towards the others noticing their just as sweaty as me.

"Gather up everyone, okay you've all been training hard this week and I appreciate that however, from this point on it's only going to get harder." he paused looking at us.

"But other than that I have something important to say to the first years tomorrow Teiko middle school will have practice match against Kesasaki middle school(I made up the name.) even though this is a practice match nothing other than victory is exceptionable, now go hit the showers." finished the coach.

Groaning could be heard in the lockeroom as the first and second years got changed.
As I changed into my Teiko uniform,I grabbed my school bag and began leaving.

"Oye wait up Gin!" yelled Daiki as he ran to catch up with me.

"Yawn~ what do you want Daiki?"

"I'm going to the store to get some ice cream do you wanna come?" he asked hopefully.

"Sure ice cream sounds good right now."

As we were walking to the store Daiki had this troubled look on his face, I through he was going to ask me a question but all we did was talk about random stuff.

After we got our ice cream(I also bought a bag full of junk food.)
We were walking in silence for a few minutes before I finally asked what was bothering him.

"Well it's just that... Well.. Hey Gin are you nervous for that practice match tomorrow?" he asked looking away.

"Oh so that's why he's acting weird,he's nervous for tomorrow's game, I'm not surprised after all everyone is expecting us to win."
I thought.

Daiki looked at me as I continued to walked silently before finally answering his question.

"Not even slightly, because I know we'll win tomorrow wheather it be by a small or large margin doesn't matter as long as we win.........besides if you start to feel nervous just remember you can rely on me and our teammates." I smiled gently as I patted the top of his head.

"I-I-I KNOW THAT OBVIOUSLY....... I'm just a little nervous." he replied as he rubbed his head while facing the other direction so I couldn't see the blush on his face(but I know it's there.)

"Don't be with a team like us no one can stop us."I said confidently as I threw my ice cream stick behind my back into the trash can ten foot behind us.

SWOOSH( I quiet sure that's the sound it would make.)

*Time skip at the practice match.*

Coach Shirogane's POV

"Remember even though this is only a practice match nothing other than victory acceptable for Teiko, Kaminari you'll be doing the tip off, other than that have fun(Win)."

"Coach are you sure they'll be alright by themselves? I know their strong,but they've only been in the basketball team for a week." said Nijimura skeptical about the firstyears.

"Of course they'll be, their strong...... Besides if they start having some trouble then they have Kaminari with them."

"You have a lot of faith in Kaminari Gin why?" questioned Nijimura.

"Call it a gut feeling but I don't think Kaminari Gin is showing us all that he can do."

"The practice match between Teiko middle school, and Kesasaki middle school will begin." shouted the referee as he threw the ball in the air between me and and center of Kesasaki middle school.

"Man Are all of the people here short,the only tall person I've met so far is Atsushi." I thought as I looked at him noticing that he was a lot shorter than me(5'6).

As I slapped the ball to Daiki, he got the ball and faced number 11 who was guarding him. Daiki tried to do a fake to the left, but the guy was pretty decent he actually stopped Daiki's first fake with a triumph look on his face.

"Does he really think he stopped Daiki, just because he blocked one of his fakes." I thought shaking my head.

"OYE!! Why are you shaking your head at my teammate he just stopped your friend!!" demanded the person guarding me.

"Huh oh I forgot your there shortie, but if you really think you guys stopped Daiki, then your even dumber than you look." I said looking towards Daiki.

He looked at his opponent with a smile on his face as he did a double crossover passing the guy and scoring the first point by dunking the ball.

As the game continued the point gap kept getting larger untill the first quarter ended with us winning with a sixteen point difference (26-10)

As we were in the locker room for the ten minute break, satsuki and the other assistant managers were giving us towels and water bottles, as the coach talked to us about the other team.

"You guys are going a good on staying ahead of them, while staying on the defensive, but it's time to do a change of pace Murasakibara,Kaminari, and Aomine I want you three to go on the offensive while Akashi, and Midorima stay on the defensive." said the coach looking at each one if us to make sure we understood the plan before continuing.

"Other than that I only have one concern with the other team,they've been giving you dirty looks Kaminari,keep an eye on them Incase they do anything." he warned me.

As the basket ball game continued with us still leading, and with me, Atsushi, and Daiki on the offensive the point gap kepted getting larger. But then something unexpected happened.

"Hey look their triple teaming number 7"

"Number 7 is really good but I don't think he'll be able to break out of that."

The people on both benches of each teams kept commenting about how I wouldn't be able to score anymore.

"We lost this battle,but we're taking one of you with us."said the captain of the other team.

Our coached called a timeout.

"Kaminari they've been triple teaming you for the whole third quarter do you want me to sub you out?" questioned the coach.

"Huh don't sub me out Coach-san, the games just starting to get interesting they already admitted their defeat, right know their just grasping at straws trying to at least to stop me, but that's fine *POP POP POP!* because I'll just crush them." I told the coach as I popped my fingers.(he does it like kanaki Ken does from Tokyo ghoul.)

As we continued with the game,the other team still kept triple teaming me.

"I'm starting to get sick of this." I thought annoyed.

When Daiki got the ball I lifted my right hand signaling for him to pass me the ball.

Aomine Daiki's POV

When Gin signaled for me to pass him the ball with his right hand, I looked at him confused,before I noticed the look on his face.

"He had the same look on his face when we first played against the upperclassmen." I thought as I passed him the ball.

When Gin caught the ball with with his right hand the players around him got more serious and tried to take the ball away from him.

As the aurora around Gin got colder as he smirked at the people guarding him.

"Hey~ if you really think that three people can stop me,then they better be strong because-"

As Gin said that he did this cool trick with the ball dribbling between his legs, while doing two fakes. When he did that both guys on his left and right just fell down leaving only the captain to guard him.

"I WON'T LET YOU PASS ME!!" yelled the captain as he tried to block Gin when he went for a jump shot.

But as the captain of the other team jumped to block Gin's jump shot,he looked down and noticed that Gin didnt't even jump he did another fake. While the guy was still in the air Gin went around and performed a powerful dunk that made the whole basketball post shake.

As gin landed on the ground he turned towards us with that smirk still on his face. He looked at the other teams captain who had a horrified look on his face.

"Just because I'm lazy doesn't mean I won't crush you instantly, your just not worth my time." he said as he turned back towards the game

"Wow~ Gin is so strong, I can't wait untill we have another 1-on-1 again." I thought in amazement, not being able to wipe the gin off my face for the whole game.

Gin's POV

As the game progressed, I continued to get past their defense scoring more and more points. When the game finally ended we won 52-23.

After we left their school and made our way to our bus(teiko has their own bus for their students) Daiki emedently attached himself to my side asking about another 1-on-1 rematch.

"You'll have more than enough time to have a 1-on-1 with Kaminari later Aomine first we have to go back to the school so that we can discuss more training regiments, after seeing more of what you guys can do it's time to start cracking down on training."
The coach said with (evil) smile on his face.

"He's the devil!!!" we all thought as we stared at our coach.

Throughout the whole ride back to school Daiki still stayed by my side talking about the 1-on-1 rematch.

But the feeling of dread never left.
