Hi everyone! Sorry about the delay, I've been dealing with a lot of things. (One my boyfriend broke up with me, so I've been trying to get over him. Also, schoolwork and stuff, omg I'm just dead)

Also, before I forget, I want to just rant about this:

Whoever did that plagiarism check...first of all, no, the characters are not similar at all. Fuji Manami is not similar to royalpurple153's story "Dreaming on" Fujioka Masami at all. If you read through my story more, maybe you'll find out the characters are different. The name sounds very similar, but the reason why Fuji Manami is named Fuji Manami is because I wanted her to be a sibling of the Fuji family from PoT and the reason her name is Manami is because Manami is one of my aliases. So please, don't assume someone plagiarised so quickly. And to be honest, fanfics can be similar because there's so many fanfics out there. There's bound be some similarities between fanfics by now. So keep an open mind.

OKIE RANT OVER! Sorry guys! Very emotional month tbh. Thanks for everyone who's been sticking with my story and thanks for everyone who has been reviewing! It makes my life happier that people enjoy the story!

Alright, onto the story:

Chapter 6

"So, who exactly are we playing today?" Manami asked as she was stretching with Kuroko. Her legs were laid straight on the ground while Kuroko was pushing her back to help her stretch. She was wearing her oversized white sweater on top of her jersey and shorts while her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, with her layered bangs down.

"You weren't there when coach was telling us?" Hyuga said, looking away as he was practicing shooting.

"I was at my brother's game remember?" Manami replied as she continued stretching. Suddenly, pain ran up her inner thighs. "Ow, ow, ow! KURO-CHAN STOP!" Manami exclaimed as Kuroko continued to push her down further.

Kuroko smirked, but let her up.

Manami grumbled as she continued to sit on the ground, rubbing thighs to get rid of the pain. "Freaking Kuro-chan, being annoying as always."

Kuroko decided to annoy her more by ruffling up her hair.

"KURO-CHAN!" Manami whined as she swatted his hand away. "Look what you've done." She pouted as she took out the hair tie she had on, brushed her hair with her fingers, and tied it back up.

Suddenly, Hyuga looked over to the other team that was practicing on the court. "Wait, Dad isn't here?" He asked.

"Now that you mention it…" Izuki replied as he looked over as well.

"Who's Dad?" Manami asked as she pushed off the ground to get up.

"SORRY I'M LATE!" Someone shouted from the door. Suddenly a thump was heard. "OUCH!"

"Hmm?" Manami hummed as she turned towards the sound. She saw a really tall, tanned, guy with a Shinkyo Gakuen Jersey jacket.

"Everything is so low in Japan." The said guy said as he rubbed where he hit his head.

"Wow…he's really tall." Manami mused as she stared at him. "Actually, more long than tall."

"That's 'Dad' by the way." Kuroko said to her.

"WHAT WERE YOU DOING, HURRY UP!" His teammate exclaimed.

"Sorry I'm late!" The tall boy said back in fluent Japanese as he walked over to his teammate slowly.

"WHY ARE YOU SPEAKING JAPANESE FLUENTLY ONLY IN THESE CASES!" His teammate exclaimed back. After reprimanding his teammate, he turned over to Hyuga. "Ah…by the way, I've heard you defeated Kaijou, is that for real?"

"Well…it was just a practice match, though." Hyuga humbly replied back as he stopped shooting.

The other guy looked relieved. He seems like the captain of Shinkyou. He turned to the tanned guy. "They're not such a big deal as I thought then. The school with one of the generation of miracles I told you about."

Hyuga looked pissed as he heard what the other captain said.

"What did he say?" Manami asked to Kuroko as she raised an eyebrow.

"Lost? I've been called here to defeat the generation of miracles. I'm disappointed if they're weak." 'Dad' said as he walked in Kuroko and Manami's direction.

He suddenly bumped into Manami, who got pushed back a bit. He looked around, confused about who he bumped into. He suddenly looked down, saw Manami, and picked her up.

"It's no good, little one. Little girls shouldn't get on the court." 'Dad' said as he looked directly into the girl's eyes.

Said girl was twitching in anger. "Please put me down." She gritted out.

"Someone must have come with her…WHA! That's a player of the opponent team!" The captain of Shinkyou exclaimed as he saw Manami's jersey peak out under her sweater.

"Player?!" 'Dad' exclaimed. He put Manami down and stared at the bluenette next to her. "A child player?!"

He glanced down, sighed, and walked away. "They lost to a team with a girl and a kid like that? Maybe the generation of miracles are all just kids?"

"Haha!" His team captain laughed. "Maybe!"

Kuroko and Manami looked angry. "To be honest…I am quite irritated now." Kuroko said calmly.

"I'm quite angry." Manami gritted out as she glared at the backs of the two opponents who were walking away. She turned to her teammates, smiled innocently and cracked her fingers. "We're not losing…" She said innocently. Suddenly her whole demeanor changed and black aura spilled out of her as she glared at her teammates. "Got it?" She said forcibly.

The rest of her teammates, except Kuroko and Kagami, shivered in fear as they nodded quickly.

"Hahaha!" Kagami laughed. "It's unexpected. But there's a side of you two that hates to lose, huh?"

He took off his shirt, revealing his jersey. "Well then, let's teach dad and the others that girls and kids can be quite scary when they're pissed."

Kuroko also took off his shirt and put on his wristbands. Manami took off her sweater as well to reveal her jersey.

She looked back at her teammates who were still sort of scared of pissed Manami. "Well, aren't you guys getting ready?" She said calmly.

The others snapped out of it and took off their shirts to get ready for the game.

"Eh? You two both want to be starters?" Riko asked as she raised a brow at Manami and Kuroko. "You have a time limit, right Kuroko-kun? And Manami-chan, I want to hide your talents until later."

"Please." Manami and Kuroko said together.

"Why are your eyes so bloodshot Kuroko-kun?" Riko asked. "And why does it look like you want to kill someone Manami-chan."

"Just put me in so I don't kill someone." Manami stated blankly.

Riko was shocked. "Okay, well, I don't hate going at full power from the beginning, but…" Riko started. "If we're going to put both of you in, you two better get at least a 10 point lead at the end of the first quarter."

Manami smirked as she put her hand to her waist. "Please, who do you think we are." Manami walked to the courts to greet the opponents.

"Well then, it's time to start the match between Seirin high and Shinkyou Gakuen High!" The referee called.

Hyuga was standing in the middle, while Kuroko and Kagami were on both sides of the captain. Manami was standing next to Kagami, and Izuki was on the other side of Kuroko.

"Alright!" Everyone exclaimed.

Papa looked at the team. "All the opponents today are so small." He sighed out as he walked towards the center. "Are the Japanese eating proper meals? Well, there was even a kid and a girl on the bench too."

"I think I've been eating well. How about you Kuroko?" Manami mused out.

"I am not a kid." Kuroko stated out blankly.

"WAA!?" Papa exclaimed as he turned to face Manami and Kuroko. "Wait you're not on the bench? You're a starter?" He continued to shout.

Manami pouted. "I know Kuroko is hard to see, but I've been standing here since the beginning." She said. Izuki patted her head as they both walked to their positions.

First quarter ended: 23 to 8, with Seirin in the lead.

"Whoot! 15 point lead!" Manami exclaimed as she plopped down on the bench.

"Kuroko-kun, Manami-chan, you're substituted." Riko stated.

"That's fine!" Manami said happily, all her anger gone from getting a 15 point lead in the first quarter.

Kuroko looked as though he didn't want to be substituted.

"From now on, we'll have to preserve Kuroko-kun and Manami-chan for a while, but we can't let the difference in points shrink during the time our offensive power is down." Riko continued on. "Actually, if you look at it objectively, the other 4 players aren't a threat to us. So if Kagami holds out as Dad's opponent, we'll be fine." Riko continued. She turned over to Kagami. "You're the only one who might be able to counter that height."

Kagami looked determined. "Leave it to me!" He grunted out.

During the last 5 minutes:

"Kuroko-kun!" Riko exclaimed as she turned over. "Can you go for the last 5 minutes?"

"Actually, I could've gone for quite a long while now." Kuroko said blankly.

Manami raised an eyebrow. "You could've said something; you know that right?" She asked.

"SORRY!" Riko exclaimed. "Just go!"

"Substitution!" The referee shouted as Kuroko went into the game.

"Why don't you let me play?" Manami pouted to Riko.

"You are going to rest until I say so." Riko said without taking her eyes off the game. "Besides, I can't have you too tired for the other games."

"Oooh…" Manami sounded out. "Does that mean I'll play all the other games?" She exclaimed with her eyes shining as she looked at Riko.

Riko glanced and gritted her teeth, trying not to be too distracted by Manami's cuteness. "Don't get your hopes up though. It depends on how much we need you today."

Manami looked satisfied. "Okie!" She exclaimed as she sat normally on the bench again and went back to watching the game.

'Aish…this girl is going to be the death of me.' Riko thought as she sighed.

"Whoot! We won!" Manami cheered as Kagami slapped the ball out of Papa's hands. The referee blew the whistle, signaling the end of the game.

"End of the match!" The referee shouted. "Victory is Seirin High!"

Everyone lined up and bowed to each other. "Thank you very much!" The teams said to each other.

Both teams were gathering all their things.

"Hmm?" Manami mused as she saw green in the corner of her high. She stopped gathering her stuff as she turned to see a retreated figure with green hair.

'Midori-kun?' Manami thought to herself.

"Manami! Let's go!" Hyuga exclaimed drawing her attention back.

Manami turned back around to see her teammates leaving her.

"Okay! I'm coming!" She exclaimed as she quickly zipped up her bag, grabbed it, and ran over to the exit.

'Well, I'll see him soon.' Manami thought to herself as she caught up with her teammates.
