PROLOGUE
"R-Riko, a-are you sure t-this'll be alright?" a petite girl with shoulder-length ivory hair questioned nervously. Her posture was stiff as she looked over at her brown-haired cousin. Said cousin just carelessly waved her worries away.
"It'll be fine. "
"A-alright…" she answered hesitantly.
"I'm Aida Riko, coach of the boys' basketball team."
"…EEEHHHH?!"
"Her?! I thought he was the coach!" a boy exclaimed, pointing at the elderly man sitting on the side.
"Oh, that's Takeda-sensei. He's our advisor."
"Seriously?!"
"And also, I have someone else who wants to join," she announced.
After a few seconds of silence, one boy asked, "…Who?"
"Eh?" Riko turned her head to her right to find no one there. Then she felt small hands gripping the back of her shirt. Riko sighed. "Saya, come on." And with that, she pried the fingers off her shirt and pushed the person in front of her. The boys were confused for a second before looking down to find wide, silver eyes looking back at them. In front of them was a small girl who seemed to be trembling.
"A GIRL?!"
"Coach, we can't have a girl on the team!"
"She's a dwarf!"
"SHUT UP!" The gym turned silent at Riko's yell. "This is my cousin and she is perfectly capable of being on the team!" Hyuuga sighed in defeat.
"If Riko says so, she must be good."
"B-but-," a large redhead began, stopping at the death glare sent his way.
"No complaints. If any of you object, then leave." When no one moved, Riko smiled. "Good. Now, introduce yourself."
"U-uhm, I'm Furihat-"
"Not you, you idiot! I was talking to my cousin!"
"Y-yes!" he squeaked. The girl gulped.
"I-I'm Shiromi S-Sayaka. I-I'm a first y-year. I l-like basketball and…" They started to panic as tears fell from her eyes.
"O-okay, Saya. That was great!" Riko assured and quickly pulled her back. "Now, first order of business… TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTS!"
"…WHAT?!"
"DO IT!" The boys hesitantly removed their shirts before their eyes darted to Sayaka. She whimpered at the attention until Riko finally noticed and growled. "Oi! Hasn't your mother ever told you that it's rude to stare!" Riko screamed, pointing to her cousin's watery orbs.
"S-sorry!" Riko began to call out their names and tell them what they needed to work on. The boys were shocked as the coach listed out their strengths and weaknesses.
"S-she's right!"
"How is she doing that?!"
"Her dad is a sports trainer," Hyuuga explained, "so she's used to these things."
"Kagami Taiga!" she called. She gasped at the tall, muscular man in front of her. 'H-his numbers are through the roof! I've never seen s-such raw talent!' Riko started to drool when Hyuuga called her name. "H-huh?! Oh, y-yeah. Kuroko Tetsuya?" Riko furrowed her eyebrows. "Kuroko-kun? Hm, I guess he's not here today."
"Um…" She looked over at the voice. "…I'm Kuroko." Riko gasped, but Sayaka's reaction was worse. At first glance, she seemed fine, for she wasn't making any noise, but her eyes were wide with fright. Kuroko had appeared right in front of her and shocked her greatly. A soft squeak escaped her throat… and with that, she fainted.
Kuroko quickly caught her to keep her from hitting the ground. He was surprised. He wasn't the strongest person, actually he was quite weak, but even Sayaka was extremely light to him.
"Whoa!"
"Oi, Kuroko, you gave her a heart attack!"
"Is she dead?!" Riko laughed nervously as she tried to calm the panicking boys.
"Calm down, guys. It's not like it hasn't happened before… I'm actually surprised she lasted this long."
"What do you mean?" Kuroko asked.
"Well… Saya has Androphobia."
"…Huh?" The team looked confused. "What's Androphobia?" Riko smiled wryly.
"…It means she's scared of males."
"…EHHHHH?!"
