Chapter 1

Someone will die by the end of this story.....

If your fragile heart can't stand to read Shin-chan getting hurt, then I will understand if you leave

The atmosphere was intense in the locker rooms. No one dared to say anything, only wanting to concentrate on their hardest game yet (besides when they faced Seirin). The members of the Shutoku Basketball Club were on edge because of the upcoming game. They were facing an opponent no one wanted to challenge.

Kirisaki Daiichi

Everyone in the basketball circuit knew that Kirisaki had a horrible reputation that followed them wherever they went. In every game, the ace of the opposing team was sent off the court with horrible injuries. The members eyed their green-haired shooter with worry and anxiety in their eyes. The hawk-eyes user was especially worried. The members knew that the raven was highly protective, especially when it came to his taller boyfriend.

“Shin-chan....maybe....maybe you shouldn’t play today”

The members stared at the raven like he suddenly sported 3 heads. The players directed their eyes back to the green-haired male. He said nothing as he started to undo the taping on his left hand. As soon as the green-haired male was finished he stood up and looked at his boyfriend straight in the eyes.

“I will do no such thing Takao”

He turned and picked up his lucky item of the day, a stuffed penguin plushie, and walked out of the door. A blonde-haired male walked up to Takao and hit him on the back of his head.

“Good going you idiot, now he’s gonna be all pissy and it’s thanks to you...what were ya thinking of anyway?!?!?!”

Takao groaned and rubbed the sore spot on his head before turning to look at his senpai. “Miyaji-senpai, we’re going against KiriDai. They always go after the ace of the opposing team. I just don’t want Shin-chan to be injured.”

The captain of the team, Otsubo, heard their conversation and jumped in while slapping both males on the head. “While you do have good intentions Takao, they will also go after anyone who poses a threat to them, so this is my word to everyone. Do NOT make yourself stand out, don't do anything that will grab their attention to you alone. Divide the word amongst everyone. Do I make myself clear?”

The members nodded and started doing their own thing to prepare for the game.

Otsubo, however, couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that he had.

‘I have a really bad feeling about this’

*Somewhere in the stadium*

The moment that the other miracles heard that Shutoku was facing off against Kirisaki Daiichi, they immediately went to search for their green-haired friend. The teams of the respective miracles also followed them. They found the male standing outside while staring at his hands. They looked at each other and silently nodded before making their way outside.

Momoi didn’t like it when one of her friends were sad, so she did what she thought was best. Jump on them while screaming their name for the entire country to hear her.

“MIDORI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Midorima stumbled when he felt weight on his side and looked down to see a bubbly Momoi hugging him. He sighed while reaching up to fix his glasses. He was about to say something when he was suddenly staring up at the sky.

“MIDORIMACCHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Midorima looked down, again, to see that he was being hugged by a blonde and a pinkette. He sighed in frustration before putting his hand again Kise’s face to get him off.

“Would you get off of me??? You’re heavy”

Midorima put in a little more strength to make Kise get off of him. Kise cried dramatically before he went to his captain and cried about ‘how cruel Midorima was to push him off’ and to ‘indirectly call him fat’ before he was kicked to the ground by the annoyed player.

It was then that Midorima noticed the other miracles and their respective teammates. He quirked his eyebrow at them.

“We came to see how you were doing before the game started” The phantom player answered his question.

“Hmph..of course I’m ok. I have luck on my side after all”

“Is luck going to save you if Kirisaki decides to go after you?”

Midorima saw that their ex-captain, the red-haired midget from hell, walked towards him and helped him off of the ground (after they helped Momoi up first). He sighed in irritation. The heterochromatic-eyed male could always sense his inner burdens.

“Hmph...as I have said before many times ‘Man proposes, God disposes’ so long as I have faith in my playing and fate, then nothing bad shall happen in that game”

Akashi smirked as he seemed satisfied with the answer. “Well, just in case, we all are going to be there to speculate the game. I will not be pleased if I see that you and that team of yours are slacking off.”

“We will never slack off”

“Hmm...very well then...good luck to you”

The other players nodded in the green-haired males direction and turned to make their way into the stadium to find seats (preferably as close to the court as possible) before they were filled. Midorima sighed heavily before turning back to stare at his hands.

‘Why can’t I shake off this feeling then?’

Everyone who was watching the game sat on the edge of their seats. They watched as Shutoku, the Veteran Kings, was actually having a hard time against Kirisaki. The miracles and their teams had their fist clenched as they eyed the many bruises that graced the pale skin of the green-haired male. Their teammates were trying to prevent the rainbow players from committing murder then and there. The Shutoku players eyed their ace with worry.

Midorima was doing a lot worse than he actually looked. His body was hurting and he swore that he thinks that one of his ribs was broken. It actually hurts to breathe right now. He was the opposing team making their way towards Shutoku’s half of the court. The team made a defensive stance as they tried to block them from advancing. The players were running around the court. Midorima was being marked by Hanamiya himself. The spectators and the players were nervous about that fact.

“Midorima be careful!!!!!!”

Midorima stared at the player in front of him and the captain smirked at him.

Are you going to kill me???

Please don't
