Shooting for Her Heart

shoot 53

Your POV

As coach and I watch the guys practice I've noticed that Kagami is acting like he was when he first join the team. Sure it makes my blood boil but having to only rely on himself is the worst way.

"Hey I'm not sure if I should ask you this or not, but did you and Kagami have an argument?" Coach asked as I looked down.

"Coach I don't want the team to worry about our personal problem. If we fight then we'll fix it when he regains his senses." I said as we kept watching the guys.

"Solving those personal problems will benefit the team as well. You and Kagami are our best duo we got at the moment." She said as I was becoming uneasy with this conversation.

"Not to be disrespectful coach but stay out of my personal life at the moment," I said as she flinches.

Riko POV

For some reason, I felt like I could be killed by just her words. Now that I think about we don't know much about her other than her ability to copy everything perfectly and her side effects. Other than a few other details that Ayame and Kuroko have mentioned. I don't know her that well as the others.

'Could there be some reason why she never opens up to people?'

"I'm not trying to get into your personal life, I'm just saying you guys should fix the problem before it affects the team." She sigh.

"Right... sorry for my behavior." She said and began to write things down.

'I wonder what kind of past does she have.'

Ayame POV

I sigh as I watch with Masaomi his brother's basketball practice, but something has been bothering me since the Seirin game.

"What's wrong your usually saying 'I want to see (F/n)!' But you've been very quiet." He said while reading his book.

"It may be nothing but I have this feeling that something is up. I've called her so many times but she never picks up, but when I text her she answers my text." I said he looks away from his book.

"That's is strange she never likes to text unless she's avoiding something." I began to wonder what could (F/n) be hiding from us.

"Do you want to go visit her?" He asked as I was surprised by his question.

"I don't know... this is the first time I don't know what I should do," I said looking at my phone.

"I know that giving her space is what she needs now but you and I know both know that her experience with those miracles has affected her sense of trust with others. What if she doesn't want us to know her problems because she doesn't trust us?" He placed his hand on my head and smiled softly.

"I don't think it's because of that but she just doesn't know how to ask for help. For now, let her solve it but when she needs help we'll be there to lend her a hand." He said as I couldn't help but smile and agree with him.

'Masaomi sure knows what to say to keep us from falling.'

Your POV

I had my team uniform on but I knew I won't be in the match since the coach said it was only the guys who would play today. Honestly, I'm glad since I'll see the results we'll get from these new strategies and training.

"May I ask why our first years are play?" I ask the coach and I guess I wasn't the only one who wanted to ask.

"He insisted on watching the first year's play." The coach said as I didn't know who she meant.

"I'm sorry but 'he'?" I questioned as Hyuga point to the guy next to him.

'This guy just what is he planning?' I looked at our tallest member. He seems to notice me and smile as I flinch and looked away from him.

'I don't know if I should trust him or not. What if he does the same thing that Kagami did.'

"Now that I think about it we never really talked haven't we." He said as I flinch.

"No sorry we haven't," he just smiled but I was feeling uncomfortable with him being friendly.

"Hey leave her alone or you'll scare her off with that creepy face you make." Hyuga senpai said as I thanked the heavens for my rescue.

"Kiyoshi what is this?" Hyuga asks as he didn't respond.

"I know what Kiyoshi is think!" Kogenai senpai said as we all looked at him.

"We're probably going to lose this game, aren't we?" He started as some seem to agree.

"Well recently, Kagami's been playing selfishly, but they can't win that way. That's why you're making them lose on purpose so he can realize he can't win on his own, right?" He stated at it seems like this was well thought out.

"I see..."

"Huh?"

"That's amazing Koga." He said all happy.

"Wait, but..." I started as he smiled.

"He's not wrong, but... Do you think he's so stupid he wouldn't notice if we tell him?"

"Well, this is Bakagami we're talking about so yeah he is stupid," I stated as he sighs and watches the game.

"He didn't seem uncertain or worried to me. If there's anyone I want to notice something, it's him." I notice who he was looking at and notice he wasn't talking about Kagami but about Tetsu.

'This guy... just what is he up to.'

In the end, we won the practice game with 43 to 41. Just barely ahead by two points which isn't bad since most of our second years were benched. By the looks of things some of our moves were useful in the game.

"Coach is it alright if I go to the studio once we're out of the school grounds?" I asked as she was unsure about my request.

"I need to talk with Ayame and Masaomi about something personal." She seems to know what I meant and agreed to my request.

"Just be careful we're going to need you for our games too." I nodded as I heard people squealing.

"She really is here!"

Riko POV

"Looks like some of her fans found her," Koga said as I couldn't help but feel bad for her.

"Fans?" Kiyoshi asked as I forgot that he might not know who (F/n) is related to. Since she told us to call her by her first name when we met.

"OH yeah, we'll give you the details in another day. For now, let's just say that our manager is well know." As everyone left to get ready to leave.

'I wonder how he'll react to who she's related?'
