As childhood friends, Kagami and I played basketball together. I rose to fame in the American national team but abruptly quit. Years later, Kagami’s plea brought me back to Japan.

Now, I’m a basketball assistant for Kagami’s team, watching Kuroko and Kagami play on the court together. In the meantime, I hear a commotion not far from me and see a few basketball gangsters bullying some boys trying to play basketball. I get angry, stomp over, grab a basketball, and throw it at the leader’s head as I yell “Pick someone your own size, asshole!” The leader sneers at me, grabs my shirt, and yells “Watch your mouth, girl!” Kagami and Kuroko stop playing. Kagami sees the situation I’ve put myself in and mutters, “This girl… HEY! Keep your hands off her!” he yells at them, but before he can run, he sees his rival Aomine sprint up to the bullies, throwing a punch at the leader holding my collar.

The leader staggers back, releasing his grip on my shirt. Aomine stands protectively in front of me, his eyes burning with anger. “If you want a fight, come at me,” he growls. The gangsters, taken aback by Aomine’s fierce demeanor and reputation, hesitate.

Kagami reaches us, standing beside Aomine. “This isn’t your playground. Get lost before things get ugly,” he warns. The gangsters exchange nervous glances, recognizing they’re outmatched. Reluctantly, they retreat, muttering curses under their breath. Kagami checks if I have any injuries as Aomine smirks at Kagami and replies cocky "So you do have female friends, this one looks quite cute. However, she should know not to put herself in trouble" he says as he grins at me checking me out

Kagams glares at Aomine, brushing off his comment “That’s not the point, Aomine. You should leave her alone now” he snaps, his voice tense with protective anger. “And you better watch how you talk to her.” Aomine grins cockily as he looks at me "No thank you from the damsel in distress or how you are called?" He says grinning
