章 64: Chapter 64 : Furihata VS Aomine - Little Scrimmage

"For sure, it would be that girl."

Furihata couldn't help but curse inwardly. While he doubts Momoi would have any malicious intention for his team, directing Aomine in their direction is enough to create trouble for Seirin, especially considering Kagami's personality.

"Hah?" Kagami growled at the sudden challenge. "Who the fuck do you think you are, challenging us out of nowhere?" Aomine smirked, already saw that coming.

"Just like I said before, my name is Aomine. I am sure you have already heard my name, right?" Seeing no reaction from Furihata and Kagami, he continued talking, "I am here to see if you are indeed worthy after beating Kise and Midorima. If you are not, that means those two only get weaker after leaving our team."

"Hah?!" Now, Kagami grows furious after hearing Aomine badmouthing Kise and Midorima like that. "Let's do it now! Ouch! What the hell, Bastard!"

Fortunately enough, he got smacked in his back by Furihata.

"First of all, why are you so angry? You don't need to defend Kise and Midorima every time someone badmouthing them, you know?" Then, Furihata turned around to Aomine and asked, "And if you hear anything about us from Momoi-san, you should know that we are still recovering from our injury, right?"

"Eh," Aomine just shrugged nonchalantly. "If you can walk, you can run, you can play basketball too. Only weaklings make an excuse like that."

Furihata couldn't help but sweatdrop at that logic.

'What the hell?! There is definitely something wrong with his head!'

However, Kagami doesn't care about that. He nodded stupidly at Aomine's logic as he said,

"You are right. Only weaklings would make an excuse like that. Just like I said, let's do it now. Ouch!"

He got smacked once again by Furihata.

"What the hell is wrong with your head, Red?" The point guard scolded Kagami in front of Aomine. "You are injured! Your doctor clearly said you have one month before you can run normally again, let alone play basketball. Why the hell do you accept a random challenge like that?!"

"Well, if my injury got worse, I could just blame him for challenging me." The red-hair trying to argue. However, he only got another smack from Furihata.

"Ouch! Stop hitting me like that!"

"If you want me to stop hitting you, start using your brain!" He growled too. "If your injury gets worsened, no matter how much you blame him, you would be the one who bears the consequence! Who do you think will pay for your rehabilitation? And who do you think would be the one who has to lie in the bed? It is you, dumbass! Not him!"

"So, you want me to act like a coward and run away from his challenge?!"

Furihata feels like he wanted to tear his hair apart in frustration after hearing what Kagami said. Honestly, why couldn't he act smart even once?!

They glared at each other for several seconds before Furihata let out a tired sigh and backed down.

"Fine! If he wants to challenge someone, I will do it for you!"

There is a silence descended upon them before it was broken by a sudden burst of laughter from Aomine.

"You? Play against me? Are you kidding?" Aomine asked with a mocking tone, annoying the hell out of Furihata.

"What? You wanted to challenge two injured people, let the least injured one play or go away!"

"Huh." Aomine snorted for a bit. "Sure, I will play against you. Just don't lose the game too fast, though, or I will regret it later."

A minute later, those three players gathered on the court, ready for the game.

"So, what's the rule?" Furihata asked after he warmed up. Aomine just shrugged nonchalantly before he replied, "What rule? Let's play it until I get bored of you."

All he got was a disbelief stare from Furihata.

"Are all the Generation of Miracles morons like you? Why would I agree with that stupid rule? Do you want to pay my hospital bill if I get injured again? No wonder Kuroko despises you."

"Heh, you keep throwing your injury as the excuse. Are you sure it is not just an excuse to get away from here? You can go if you want, and I will play against your teammate."

"Well, I am sorry that not everyone is son of a rich bastard like you, dumbass. We don't have the money to pay our hospital bill. Let's play the best of five."

"Sure. You go first." Aomine threw his ball to Furihata. "It's not like you will be able to get away from me."

However, the blue-haired boy was stunned by the sudden movement from Furihata. The point guard pulled up his signature move, a quick three-point shoot from the logo.

*Splash!*

"Two for me, Bastard." He snarked, running to get the ball. Now, he could see the excitement grow on Aomine's face.

"Not bad." He smirked, still with a mocking face. "No wonder you can beat Midorima. You have some skills."

"Less talk and more play, dumbass."

Furihata grabbed the ball again, ready to pull up another three. However, Aomine didn't fall for the same trick as he closed the distance between them immediately.

"Don't think it would be that easy!"

Furihata knows that too. There is no chance Aomine would fall for the same trick twice. So, right when he saw Aomine close the distance, he lowered his stance and leaned his body before he charged forward.

"Not bad. You have a good speed."

Furihata ignored the comment and keep driving forward. Right before he entered the low post area, he bumped his body toward Aomine to create some space for him before taking a glance upward at the basket. Aomine noticed that too and raised his arm high, trying to stop Furihata from shooting the ball.

However, it was all according to Furihata's plan as all he did is a hesitation move to fool Aomine. Instead of launching the ball from the low post area, he took a quick step back and pulled up a shoot from the free throw area.

*Splash!*

"What happened, dumbass? Got something in your tongue?" Aomine just grin and said, "Nah, you are just more interesting than I thought. Let's start again."

This time, Furihata could feel the pressure immediately after he gets the ball. He charged to the left side quickly, hoping to get some space to pull up a shoot. However, Midorima followed him easily, making Furihata think twice before he could do anything.

'Well, if he insists to follow me like this, let's see what happened next.'

Furihata shifted the ball to his other hand quickly, slowing down his tempo for a second before he moved toward the opposite side. However, seeing Aomine could still follow him, he shifted the ball once again with a behind-the-back crossover move and increased his speed quickly, trying to leave Aomine behind.

However, Aomine didn't bulge for even a second and keeps pestering Furihata. Even though defense is not what he is famous for, that doesn't mean Aomine is bad at it. No, in fact, he is the best one-on-one defender out of all his former teammates when he is serious.

That was when a crazy idea suddenly kicked into Furihata's head. Yeah, he wanted to see how strong Aomine is and how would their team fare against him. And the best way to do it is of course by provoking him. And having been studying Aomine's movement when he was in the hospital, Furihata knows how to do it.

When he saw Aomine is still following him, Furihata backed down with a step back. Aomine has already predicted that and still didn't give him enough space to shoot. But that was when Furihata did the unexpected move. He raised the ball with one arm and use the other arm to protect the distance between them in a similar form of a quarterback before passing the ball. Then, he let out a small smirk before he launched the ball quickly.

It went straight to the board and bounced back to the basket, resulting in one more point for Furihata.

*Clank!*

*Splash!*

Aomine snapped his head in disbelief after looking at Furihata. Even though the movement is rough, Aomine knows it was one of his signature formless shoot movements, and to see his opponent execute the play flawlessly like that in front of him is unexpected.

"What? You think you are the only one who can do that shit from streetball?" Furihata asked in a mocking tone. However, all he got was a burst of laughter from Aomine.

"Ahahahaha! You are really interesting!" He grabbed the ball as he prepared to leave the court. But not before he said, "You win today. But you both better prepare for the next game, as I will destroy you after you get healthier, so prepare your next excuse."

Then, he left the court, leaving both Kagami and Furihata speechless at his action.

"What the hell is that?" Kagami finally broke the silence, voicing the question that wandering through his mind. After pondering for a second, Furihata realized what happened.

"He just tests the water." The point guard spoke. "You know that he will only play seriously when he finds his opponent interesting, right? Playing against us, the core members of Seirin would be his way of assessing his next opponent. If I am too weak and lose too fast, he wouldn't take the next game seriously. But now..."

"He would take the next game personally, huh?" Kagami finished his sentence, understanding what just happened now.

"Yeah. I accidentally woke up a sleeping monster that I shouldn't poke in the beginning." Furihata's face turned grim as he just realized the consequence of their little scrimmage earlier.

章 65: Chapter 65 : An Unnecessary Drama

Furihata and Kagami went back to the gym, just to find that Momoi is still there, talking with Kuroko.

"You are still here?" Furihata snarked rudely at the girl, catching his teammates' attention. "You have the gut even after almost causing trouble for us?"

Everyone looked confused until Momoi finally asked, "What trouble, Furihata-san? I don't know what you are talking about."

Furihata just rolled his eyes.

"You directed Aomine toward us even when you know we are still recovering after our injury and you know your dumbass of a friend behaved, and you still have the gut to act clueless like that?"

Momoi's face turned pale as she just realized what Aomine did.

"What happened?" Riko voices the question that lingers through his teammates' minds who still don't have any clue.

"He challenged us, of course. What else could happen?"

It stunned his teammates for a moment before the silence was broken with questions erupted from his teammates.

"What?"

"Why would he do that?"

"And how could he know where you will go in the first place?"

"That's absurd!"

"Okay, everyone! Enough!" Riko raised her voice, shutting up her players. "First, where did you go?"

"We went to the basketball court nearby," Kagami answered. "That is the place I would go if I wanted to calm myself. The fact that Aomine said Satsuki's information network is incredible when he saw us means.."

"He got that from you." Furihata finished Kagami's sentence while pointing his gaze at Momoi. "You know that it is creepy, right?"

"He has no right to call the other people creepy. I bet he would do that if the position is reserved." Hyuga muttered under his breath, which caused his teammates to snicker at that.

"I.. I don't know what to say.." Momi finally speaks, trying to gather her thoughts. "I just told him that Tetsu-kun's partner can be spotted on that court if he was interested. I don't think he would challenge Kagami-san like that.."

"So, what else do you hope to get when you said 'if he was interested'? That he would go over there and have a nice chat? You are not fooling anyone here, Momoi-san."

There is a hint of irritation in Furihata's voice. While he didn't know what he wants to accomplish by antagonizing the girl, he sure can hold a grudge for the trouble that she almost caused to the team.

"Okay, calm down, Furihata-kun." Riko interfered before things escalated out of control. "What happened after he challenged you?"

"I accept," Furihata replied, gaining stunned gazes from his teammates. "Hey, what else can I do? He provoked Red quite badly and said that only weaklings run away from challenges with an injury excuse. If I am not stepping up for him, I am sure Red would go and make things worse for his injury."

"Yeah, I can see that." Hyuga nodded in agreement. "While it was irresponsible, you did the best here. Who knows what Kagami-kun would do if you didn't accept his challenge? He might go behind our back and search for Aomine."

"Hey, I am not that bad, you know?!" Kagami tried to protest. However, he only got an eye roll from Furihata. "Red, you actually agreed with him that only weaklings use the injury as an excuse and are ready to play. Don't you dare to say you are not that bad."

"Fine!" The red-haired boy huffed in annoyance. "But you cannot deny that it feels good to beat him, right?"

A silence dropped for a moment as everyone looked at Furihata with astonished gazes. It only last five seconds before chatters erupted among them.

"You won?!"

"What the hell! How is that possible?!"

Furihata just rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"He didn't play seriously, duh." He spoke, calming down his teammates. "He was just there to test the water. If he found us boring, he wouldn't take the next game seriously. But this time, he would come to us with all his strength."

The entire pool turned dead silent at his speech.

"Yup!" Momoi who has her face paled a moment ago suddenly spoke with a bright smile. "If you caught his interest, you could see Dai-chan play at his full strength. It would be fun to watch him treating the game seriously again!"

"That doesn't change the fact you almost cause us a lot of trouble here, girl." Furihata rolled his eyes. Momoi just pouted at him and said, "Mou, Furihata-san. You are so mean. It is not like you get hurt or anything. You even win against Dai-chan! Is that good enough for you?"

Furihata just looked at him ridiculously.

"It surprises me how unconcerned you are with our situation. While I doubt you have any harmful intention in the first place, now I cannot think of anything about you other than an insensitive bitch. You didn't even consider us still in the recovery phase, right? Is that why all your friends called you the ice queen? Not because of your cold demeanor, but because of how easy it is for you to dismiss their concern like that?"

Seeing Momoi flinch, Furihata feels like a jerk. However, it really irritates him how easy it was for her to downplay her role for the trouble that she almost caused. He could also see Kuroko frowning at him.

"That is a bit harsh, Furihata-kun." The blue-haired boy said. "I am sure Momoi-san didn't mean to do that. And just like she said, there is nothing happening other than you played against Aomine-kun, right?"

"I think Kuroko-kun is right." Riko nodded in agreement. "You have already prevented Kagami from accepting his challenge and it was good enough for us. I don't think we need to bring this conflict further than necessary. And you call her a bitch is also a bit too much. While I don't like her, I don't think that she is as bad as you portrayed her to be."

Seeing his teammates also nodded in agreement leaving Furihata a bit speechless. After a few seconds, he burst out a laughter.

"Well, I am sorry if you think it was too much for her." He spoke after wiping out his tears. "But I will still call her a bitch. And in case you forget about something, it is not only Red who is still recovering from the injury. Thank you so much for your concern."

He stood up immediately before they could say anything, leaving the pool in silence. However, before he could leave the gym entirely, he was stopped by someone who called him out.

"Oi, Bastard! Wait!"

"What do you want, Red?" Furihata answered without turning his head to the source of the voice, already knowing who the person behind him is. Yeah, only one person called him bastard on the team.

"Slow down a bit, will you? You are the one who says I need to be careful or my injury will get worse."

Furihata clicked his tongue in annoyance, didn't expect Kagami would use his words against him.

"Fine, what do you want?" He asked again, but after slowing down his walk to let Kagami catch up with him.

"Just want to ask, are you okay?" Seeing the dumbfounded expression on his face, he just shrugged nonchalantly. "Hey, even though we are not that close to each other, we are still teammates. And even though your reaction is still surprising me, I don't think you are wrong in the first place."

Furihata's expression softened at that.

"Thanks, Red. I appreciate that." He sighed tiredly. "And I will be okay. While I admit that I went a bit too far earlier, it irritated me how easily she disregards our concern and how quickly Phantom defended her. And coupled with the game against Aomine earlier, I couldn't help but snap at the team. I still have three days off, so I will be back for training in the next three days."

Kagami nodded at him.

"I will tell Senpai about that. Use your time. Just make sure you come back with your head clear. We are in a crucial time right now and we don't need this unnecessary drama."

Furihata snorted at him.

"You sure can be smart, Red. If only you use your brain earlier."

"You are the smart one here, so it is your job to do that. I only do this because you are way too hot-headed than usual, so I need to make sure you are okay."

"Whatever, Red," Furihata muttered under his breath. "Anyway, I will take my leave now. See you in the training next three days and take care of yourself, Red. Bye."

And with that, Furihata leaves the gym, wandering around aimlessly for fifteen minutes. However, he was stopped by the sudden voice that called him out.

"Furihata-kun? What are you doing here?"

When he raised his head to see the source of the voice, he could see the coach of the basketball community he grew up with, Shiro Fujita, looking at him. That is when Furihata realized that he is already walking toward his home and arrived at the court nearby.

"I am still not allowed to go training until the doctor checks me up the day after tomorrow, so I just go back a bit early."

He could see the eyes of his old coach softened after hearing that.

"I am sorry for your condition. How is it now?"

"Not bad." Furihata shrugged. "I even did something foolish enough to accept the challenge for a stranger earlier, so I guess I will be okay. How about you? Is the team doing well?"

"It's been better than well." Fujita has his eyes beamed at that. "We are growing fast right now, and we are even invited to the local tournament several times. Godai even suggested that we took a registration fee so we can afford new jerseys for our team. It would be embarrassing if we go to the tournament with sports vests, right?" He chuckled at the end.

Furihata just nodded his head in agreement. However, after hearing the name Godai mentioned, a sudden brief idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Say, Fujita-san." He spoke slowly, gaining his old coach's attention. "Would you mind asking Godai-san to do me a favor?"

"What favor?" Fujita asked back, this time with curiosity lingering on his face.

"I want to ask him to train me in a one-on-one situation. I think I will need it in the near future."

"Why?" Fujita asked again with a strange face. "Besides me and Godai, you are the best in the one-on-one situation here. Hell, even we would have a hard time facing you in that situation. Is there a need to train that specifically?"

Furihata nodded at him,

"Yeah, I will need Godai-san's specialty because my next opponent is Daiki fucking Aomine."

Now, his old coach just looks at him with pity in his eyes.
