The Good, the Bad, and the Tsundere

Thank you guys for the votes! I've made my decision based off how I felt about the two as well as majority rules - so, brother-sister bond it is! They're just too cute to not be siblings asdfghjkl ^_^

The days following the end of the Interhigh games was filled with a sort of peace for everyone who have participated. The results were as follows: Yosen High took third, Touou Academy took second, and Rakuzan High, the reigning king of the Winter Cup tournaments for five years straight, won Interhigh and placed first.

Although summer vacation had already started, for some, these few weeks was finally their time to enjoy themselves before the new semester started. However, the upcoming Winter Cup was on every basketball player's mind... It was going to be a hard and cold battle between the top teams in Japan. Whether it was those in Kaijo, Shutoku, Touou; each team had their own plan in training. And for those on the Seirin basketball team, a certain coach has been working them long and hard as well, and their second training camp was only a few days away.

However, all of the teams, like Seirin, get to enjoy a few days to a week basketball-free so they can rest up and are encouraged to finish their dreaded summer assignments in peace.

Some were frantically getting their homework done before the summer ended, while others...

"Mura-kun! How come you didn't tell me you're one of the Generation of Miracles?" Tomoko whined into the phone; she was strategically avoiding to do her math assignment today and decided to call her purple haired friend. There was the distinct crunching of chips on the other end.

"Hm? I didn't?"

"No," she puffed up her cheeks and frowned. "When I asked if you played any sports, you only said 'I don't like it' and stuffed your face with apple pie."

"But it was really good pie~" Murasakibara munched some more. "Don't be mad, Tomo-chin. I promise I'll tell you next time."

She could practically hear the purple haired giant's childish pout from the other side of the line. It wasn't that she was mad at him in any way; she was just a little surprised when she heard about it.

After Interhigh, each day was filled with more morning training from the Aidas at their family gym, and it was then Tomoko heard Kuroko talk about the last two miracles they will finally meet during the Winter Cup. When Murasakibara's name came up, Tomoko was at first convinced that it was someone else the boy was talking about, but the description of the miracle made it no mistake that it was the Murasakibara she met in Akita.

Letting out a small sigh, Tomoko reassured the giant that it was okay. "I know now, and I'm not mad at you, Mura-kun. Anyway, how was the semi-final? I know Touou beat Yosen and all, but—"

"I sat out for the game~ So I don't know."

She blinked, "Huh? Why?"

There was a pause, and the ripping of something cardboard could be heard before Murasakibara spoke again. "Who knows? Aka-chin told me not to play. It's okay though, because I'd rather eat more snacks."

"'Aka-chin'?" Tomoko wondered, twirling the noraemon charm on her phone.

"Hm~Mmm~ That's our captain from Teiko."

Tetsuya-kun mentioned someone named 'Akashi Seijuuro' before... That must be him...

"Ah, Tomo-chin," Murasakibara called shortly after, bringing her attention back to their conversation. "Come visit me."

She paused and thought for a second. Since it was summer break, her brother had recently came over to Tokyo for a longer visit, and she didn't have anyone at Akita to house her if she did travel over there. "I want to, Mura-kun, but Ichi-nii's here so I wouldn't be able to stay at Akita by myself. Plus I have manager duties for my team; we're going on our second training camp soon!"
