Kagami sighed and looked to his left and saw his blue haired friend, Tesuya Kuroko, and his caption Junpei Hyuuga next to him. He glanced behind him and saw the blonde talking loudly on his phone, Royta Kise, the hetero-chromatic emperor of Tokyo Seijuro Akashi, to his back was the Center for Yosen High, Atsushi Murasakibara. He wondered why he was called here in the first place, Akashi walked in front of him and knocked on the door.

"Hurry up, standing here isn't going to answer why we all got called here any faster," Akashi said not looking up at him. Kagami rolled his eyes and waited when the door opened up to see a brightly smiling girl, her brown hair put up in a fancy bun and her brown eyes lit up with excitement.

"I'm so glad you guys came!' she said hugging everyone of them.

"Cassie, why did you call us so late?" Kagami asked.

"Well, remember what I said about making my own team and winning a tournament?" they nodded. "Well, I did it, I called one of my friends up, and they said that I need a team to coach not just one person, so I told them that I would form one and meet them over there" she explained.

"You don't mean America do you?" Kise asked

"Yep actually!" they all looked at each other and sighed, "So all we have to do is form a team and play together?" she nodded.

"No more no less OK?" Akashi patted her head

"Sure then, but I have to be the captain, I can not be ordered around by others" she nodded

"If anyone argues I'll, for sure kill you in his place" Cassie said smiling sweetly, they nodded slightly in fear."Now I hope you brought what I told you to bring," she paused and looked at all of there bags. "Good, cause were leaving right now!" she said.

"WHAT!?" Kagami, Kise, and Hyuuga screamed in unison.

"Yep common!" she grabbed her bag and locked her house and walked off, Akashi followed her as did Murasakibara and Kuroko. The three left looked at one another and sighed.

"WAIT UP!" they shouted jogging to catching up to them.

At the airport Cassie had already had their tickets ready for them so they just found their seats. Cassie took the window seat, Murasakibara sat next to her, behind her sat kuroko and kagami, in the next row next to her sat Akashi and Kise and in front of her sat Hyuuga. "Guys listen up, she's your last member on your team," they looked at her.

"SHE?" they asked quizzically. "Yeah she's a girl, what did you think it was a male?" they nodded. "Well she's amazing, almost as good as you guys!" she spoke admirably.

"What's her name?" Kise asked eager to meet said female.

"Her name is Tara, this is what she looks like," she took out her phone and showed them a slim, fit girl with long black hair that reached her back, while the tips were white. Her red eyes glowed with passion, that's when they noticed something odd.

"Um what is that?" Kagami said pointing to the small animal in the corner of the picture.

"Ahh that's a snow leopard, right?" Atsushi said taking to popsicle out of his mouth.

"Yeah Saki-chin!" she said smiling approvingly.

"Why does she have that?" Hyuuga asked which Cassie shrugged back as a response.

"I think she takes care of it, since the zoo can't find a mother for her, but her name it Crystal, because of her cute blue eyes!" Cassie said adoringly.

"Hey, Crystal looks almost like Tara, expect for the eyes" Kagami pointed out.

"Yeah, your right Kagamicchi!" Kise agreed while patting Kagami's head in approval.

"Really, wow" Cassie said, she put her phone away "But aside from that, I have a few other things to tell you guys," she said, they took on determined faces and nodded. "First of all, I have your substitutions flying in as well, they'll be here in about two days which gives them about a day loss in training, and your first game is on the second, in three days, the first day is lost thanks to this trip but you'll have a full day of training tomorrow then you'll play," they nodded "Also Tara's house is pretty big so we'll all be staying there instead of paying for a hotel room" she explained.

"Wow looks like you got this down to a T" Akashi said, she giggled.

"Yep I won't mess up this time, everything is perfect!" She said, Cassie put a finger to her chin in deep thought "But I can't help but think I'm forgetting something" she paused, "It was something about Tara and her liking something," she shrugged.

"Maybe it was basketball," Atsushi suggested.

"Maybe, but anyways get your rest you'll need it for tomorrow!" she exclaimed.

"Right!" the most of them replied.

Murasakibara went back to eating his candy and sharing some with Cassie most of the time, Akashi was reading a book he brought explaining some of the parts she asked about. Kagami went to sleep, Hyuuga tried to sleep but he had a kid kicking the side of his foot the whole time. While Kuroko just thought about something.

Cassie woke up and yawned, looking out the window seeing that they were about to land. Akashi was the only one awake, she glanced over and he looked at her.

"Could you wake up Kise for me?" he nodded, she gently tapped Atsushi's arm and his eye slowly fluttered open.

"Wake up, where here," she said sweetly, he yawned and rubbed his eye.

"OK" he said, she put her knees in the seat and took a deep breathe and screamed in Kagami's and Kuroki's faces.

"WAKE UP!" she said loudly enough to wake up the whole plane, luckily enough she didn't, but they woke up with a jump. Kagami wound up hitting his head on the roof of the plane!

"OW!"

She giggled then turned back around and hit Hyuuga over the head, he woke up and looked at the smiling girl over him.

"Time to wake up!" she said, he sighed and slumped back into his chair. Once they plane landed she got off and took a deep breathe and exhaled rather loudly "It's good to be back!" she said, then turned around to face them. "OK, Tara should be around here somewhere, just look for her while I call her OK?" they nodded and went in their own directions.

Tara's phone went off "Cassie, hey, did you land already!?" she asked.

"Yeah, were at the gate right now" Cassie informed her.

"OK I'll go there right now!" she nodded then turned off her phone and decided to look around.

Kuroko managed to wonder off only to find the souvenir store, he looked around at the objects, some small some big all ranging from things he'd only heard of. He touched small basketball key-chain, he picked it up and walked over to the cashier (Since Cassie transferred their Yen, to dollars) and paid for it. Then left the small store, that's when behind him he heard someone screaming his name, he hoped that it was just Kise but was honestly wrong, that's when he was tackled down in a hug and landed on the floor.

Back at the front of the gate Kagami, Hyuuga, Kise, Atsushi, and Akashi met back up, they looked around for Kuroko but didn't see him. "You don't suppose he got lost" Cassie asked worriedly glancing around.

"I don't think so, I saw him at the souvenir shop" Kise mumbled.

"Where could he be then?" Kagami aked, that's when Murasakibara turned around and looked toward that direction.

"I think I see him," they all turned their heads and started to walk over to where he said.

Kuroko was still on the ground with this strange person over him, the person looked at him, he looked into her red eyes and noticed that she looked a lot like that picture Cassie showed him.

"KUROKO!" she said standing up still holding on to him "I can't believe I get to finally meet you!" she said, he looked at her honestly confused, he couldn't understand her.

"Um…I'm sorry" he said, she looked at him and nodded

"Oh I'm sorry, I thought you understood English, sorry about that, but I'm so glad to meet you!" she said hugging him once again, he nodded.

"Are you Tara?" he asked, she giggled and nodded confirming his suspensions.

"I'm so glad you know me!' she said smiling.

"Well Cassie showed you to me" he said, that's when they heard everyone saying there names, Tara turned around and smiled "CASSIE!" she said running over to her and hugging her.

"Hey, why didn't you meet us at the gate?" Cassie questioned.

"Well I figured that Kuroko would have to be somewhere else so I looked around instead for him, and I found him!" she said, Cassie grimaced and looked at everyone

"Guys I just remembered something, Tara does love basketball, but she also loves something else, or more like someone else, and that person is Kuroko!" she looked down "Like a LOT!" she said, while Tara blushed and smiled.

Kise looked at the affection fest Tara was giving Kuroko and made his way over to her.

"Taracchi, I hope you're a good challenge for me!" Kise said smirking handsomely, she blushed slightly and nodded.

"Same here!" she said holding her hand out to him, he grabbed it and gripped it.

Cassie smirked 'Looks like we won't be loosing, let's give it our all everyone!'
