Chapter 2
VS. Kaijo
The Seirin team walked into the Kaijo campus in awe at how massive it was. Everyone was describing how expansive everything was. Even Ryuto had to admit it looked like he was on a college campus back in the States.
"Damn this place looks like a small college campus in the States." Ryuto said in awe. "If thats what your going to compare it to, then it is really big." Hyūga replied.
They continued walking trying to find the basketball court. Then the entire team heard a voice coming from in front of them. Ryuto turned his head to find blondie, Kise, running towards them. Kise walked right up to Kuroko ignoring everyone else.
"I'm really disappointed you decided not to accept my offer." Kise said.
He continues to talk about somethings that are incomprehensible to Ryuto, who sighs at how much blondie talks. Kise then stood up and faced both Kagami and Ryuto with a mischievous smile.
"You two are the ones I'm most interested in, can't wait to play you today." Kise says. "Blondie if you're declaring a challenge then say it with more confidence, then the way your talking right now. You remind too much on someone I wanted to get away from in the States." Ryuto said with a stern face. "So aggressive," Kise said as he turned his back, "follow me to the court."
The team followed Kise to the court which on the outside looked massive. Once they entered Ryuto noticed that the court was divided in two one side for their practice game and the other for the other half of the team to practice. It made sense to Ryuto why they only set up half the court, but the rest of team seemed pretty pissed about it. Ryuto noticed their coach talking to Kaijo's. Ryuto only caught the ending of the conversation, which was what pissed him off more than anything.
"Did I hear that right, he said 'don't let us triple your score.'?" Ryuto said in the locker room. "Yeah he did we're all pretty pissed about it." Izuki said. "All right everyone gather around!" the coach yelled. "Here's the starting line-up: Hyūga you're shooting guard, Izuki point guard, Kagami power forward, Ryuto small forward, and Kuroko." the coach explained. Everyone nodded in agreement.
They headed out to find the other team waiting for them. Ryuto took a quick glance at the baskets and noticed the bolts holding them up were a bit rusty. Better tell the team about the bolts Ryuto thought to himself, but the whistle to start the game sounded which stripped Ryuto from his thoughts. The teams met each other face to face. Ryuto could tell these guys were as good as they said they were, especially their point guard who kept a stern expression on his face. After a bow and hand shakes both teams set up to the game. Ryuto walked over to Kuroko and whispered into his ear.
"Start this off with a bang show them we aren't messing around, I already told Taiga he knows the plan." Ryuto said. "Ok." Kuroko replied.
The the ball was thrown into the air. Kaijo got the ball first as both teams set up Ryuto motioned to Kuroko and Kagami to do their play. Kaijo's point guard, Kasamatsu, was surveying Seirin's defense completely unaware at what was about to happen. Then Kuroko slapped the ball out of Kasamatsu's hand and Kagami darted to grab it. Kagami then jumped to dunk the ball, but on his way down the rim came with him. Ryuto stared wide eyed for a moment before walking over to Kaijo's coach who was about to blow a fuse. He looked at Ryuto with an angry look. His face changed to a surprised look when Ryuto bowed in front of him.
"I must apologize for what my teammate has done. I noticed the rusty bolts before the game, I should have said something but slipped my mind when the game stared. It's your choice if we play with the full court or use the other half." Ryuto said still bowing. "We can play full court, and thanks for giving me the heads up with the baskets have to get them fixed now." Kaijo's coach responded calming down. "Thank you for your kindness." Ryuto said as he stood up and walked back towards his team.
He walked over to Kagami who was still holding the rim, clearly amazed by what he did. Ryuto sighed deciding against scolding him until after the game ended. Once the game resumed Kise was put into the game, and about three seconds after he got into the court loud screaming was heard. Everyone looked back to find fangirls calling Kise's name. Ryuto face palmed that sight was all to familiar. He looked back up to find Kaijo's captain kicking Kise to get his head in the game. Ryuto shivered that was excessive in his opinion. When the game resumed Kaijo inbounded the ball which went directly towards Kise. Who went into a full sprint and dunked the ball, the same way Kagami did it, albeit with our breaking the rim. What Ryuto saw during the one-on-one just became reality, Kise could copy people's moves. The game continued at a fast pace, it was basically a grudge match against Kise and Kagami on who could make the better moves. Eventually Seirin called a time out to slow down the game, at Kuroko's request.
"Kuroko can I ask you something?" Ryuto asked. "Yes what is it?" Kuroko responded. "Kise can copy peoples exact movements right?" Ryuto asked. "Yes that is his ability." Kuroko said followed by a collective gasp by the rest of the team. "I see, so let me handle him." Ryuto said sternly. "No way I want him!" Kagami said. "Shut it Taiga you're in hot water with me already, let me handle blondie." Ryuto said. "Caoch!?" Kagami argued. "I'll let Ryuto handle him for now." the coach said. "Relax bud I got him all figured out." Ryuto said patting Kagami on the shoulder.
The game resumed with Seirin with the ball. Ryuto's mark was still Kaijo's over enthusiastic power forward, who was quite annoying. Ryuto motioned for Izuki to pass him the ball, when he receives it he positions himself looking at the basket. The center is looking at him to see if he can out maneuver his mark Ryuto smiles, he pump fakes which makes the power forward jump Ryuto then starts to dribble towards the basket. The center comes at him to try to stop his advance, but Ryuto comes to a complete stop and shoots a fade away that banks off the backboard into the basket. His teammates congratulate him on their way to defense with high-fives and pats on the back. Ryuto sees as Kaijo's captain passes the ball to Kise. Ryuto is now face to face with one of the Generation of Miracles.
"Thats was quite the move you pulled." Kise said. "Thanks but I don't need praise form you blondie." Ryuto replies. Lets see if he tries to do the same thing I did Ryuto thinks to himself.
As expected Kise pump fakes and charges towards the basket. Ryuto smiles and turns around to knock the ball out of his hands form behind his back. No foul good Ryuto thinks as he grabs the ball and runs for the basket. Ryuto feels Kise gain on him, he suddenly finds Kise right in front of him. Ryuto crosses over to right hand and then back to his left and in seconds he's under the basket with the ball going through the hoop. Ryuto looks back to find a wide eyed Kise. He jogs back to defense.
"Try and copy that blondie." Ryuto says as he passes Kise.
Kise turns to Ryuto and smiles. "If its a challenge you want it's a challenge you'll get." Kise says.
The game continues to be fast paced. Kuroko and Kagami's teamwork plus Ryuto's crossovers are knocking Kaijo off balance. During the fourth quarter the game is starting to get even more heated up. During the end of the third quarter Kise accidentally knocked Kuroko out which agitated Kagami, to replace him the coach put Mitobe in the original center. At the half way point of the fourth quarter Kuroko gets back up determined to finish the game, the coach lets him play for the final half of the fourth quarter. Kise continues to have problems with both Kuroko and Kagami's teamwork plus Ryuto. Ryuto receives the ball from Izuki, this time Kise is guarding him with Kasamatsu standing next him, it was a double team. Ryuto tsked at the double team it was going to be difficult to get out of it. Ryuto then notices Kuroko passing behind the double team, his low presence returned. Ryuto smiles and does a quick pass in between the legs of Kise to Kuroko to redirects it to Kagami, who dunks it in. The teams are now tied 98-98. Both teams are at their limits. Kaijo starts by inbounding the ball, once Kasamatsu makes it to the three point line he stops. Ryuto looks at the time, barely any left. Looks I'm going to have to use that move Ryuto thinks. He then starts running towards Kasamatsu, Ryuto slaps the ball away form him much to everyone's surprise. Ryuto then picks up the ball and starts to sprint down the court, Ryuto then notices Kise right in front of him. Ryuto the crosses over to the left then once again to the right, the back to his left with a small movement forwards, crosses over once more to his right with a slight step forwards, which cause Kise to fall on the floor. Kise stares at Ryuto wide eyed as he passes by him and scores with the clock expiring as the ball hits the floor. The court is quite for a few moments, Ryuto looks back at Kise who is still on the floor with a look of disbelief on his face. He walks towards Kise and extends his hand to help him up.
"I thought someone like doesn't stay down." Ryuto says with a slight smile.
Kise lowers his head and grabs Ryuto's hand as he helps him stand.
"Your move is so similar to his." Kise says. "That's no surprise I taught it to him." Ryuto says this time with an actual smile and Kise has once again a face of disbelief.
Then Seirin roars in happiness at how they managed to defeat a really strong school that had a member of the Generation of Miracles on it. The five that were on the court lined up in front of they opponents and bowed saying: "Thanks for the game." Then they all shook hands. As Seirin left all the Kaijo players had the same question on their minds.
"Is he one of you Kise?" Kasamatsu asked. "Who the grey haired one?" Kise replies. "Yeah." Kasamatsu affirms. "No he isn't but he taught one of us, that probably makes him stronger than him." Kise says as they see Seirin leave the building.
Seirin kept cheering about their victory, commenting on all their good plays. Ryuto stood behind all of them thinking about someone in particular. He then looks forwards seeing everyone looking at him as if waiting for answers.
"Is there something troubling you guys?" Ryuto asked nervously. "What was that move you did at the end of the game?" the coach asked. "Oh that, it's just my ankle breaker." Ryuto said so as a matter of factly. "Well duh thats what it was, but what you said to Kise when you helped him up, whats up with that?" Hyūga asked. "Oh that…Thats not important." Ryuto said. "Well anyways I think we should go out to celebrate!" Koga says enthusiastically. "With what money?" the coach asked.
The whole team pulls out what they have which is not a lot. They all sigh and decide to walk home. But before they even went a few feet the coach stops them.
"Lets go get some steak!" she says.
Everyone stares at her wide eyed. Once they make it to the restaurant, Ryuto notices how stereotypically American the place looked.
"Jeez do all other countries think we're only cowboys?" Ryuto says. "Wait your not one?" Izuki asked. The whole team laughs at Ryuto who hides his face, which is red with embarrassment.
They all sit down and a few moments later their food was served. It was a large pice of meat, Ryuto notices as his teammates groan. They start to complain about the size of the meal. Deciding not to complain Ryuto starts to eat, he had to admit for being stereotypical American restaurant it served good food. As soon as Ryuto finished he noticed his team struggling to start. Then Kuroko excuses himself saying that he's full. Jumping at the opportunity Ryuto grabs his plate. He teammates look at him in shock.
"Can you even eat another?" Koga asks. "Well just this one I did't have lunch so I'm starving." Ryuto says as he finishes Kuroko's steak.
He also excuse himself to go to the bathroom. When he walks out of the bathroom he sees Kuroko leaving the building, curious he follows along. Once outside he notices Kuroko talking to Kise.
"Blondie, Kuroko what are you guys doing out here? Plus Kuroko if we don't get back coach is going to be pissed." Ryuto says. "Just a minute I'm having an important conversation with Kise." Kuroko says. "Well actually I also wanted to talk to you." Kise says gesturing to Ryuto. "Kagamicchi may not be able to beat the Generation of Miracles at this moment, but you certainly can Rishiharacchi." Kise says. "First off don't call me by my last name and second what makes you think I care about the whole Generation of Miracles nonsense. It's just a title you five use to think your on top of people, to be honest it makes me sick. And by the way call me Ryuto." Ryuto says. "Your probably right about us," Kise says staring into the sky, "so does that mean I can call you Ryutocchi?" "As long as I can call you Blondie, its cool." Ryuto said.
Both boys shake hands acknowledging each other. Ryuto turns to see Kagami calling his name. Ryuto motioned for him to come over.
"Coach is going to kill you two." Kagami says. "Relax I can calm her down, I hope." Ryuto says as he places his hand behind his head. "What going on over there?" Ryuto said pointing at the street ball court next to them. "Stupid bullies." Kagami says. "What hell is Kuroko doing?" Ryuto says as he sees him walk up to the bullies.
Eventually a game a street ball was played between the five bullies and a team consisting of Kise, Kuroko, and Kagami. Ryuto stayed back and let them do their butt kicking. Once the bullies realized they were defeated they ran off into the street.
"What the hell where you thinking?!" Kagami yelled to Kuroko. "Relax Taiga, Kuroko probably doesn't like bullies is all, right?" Ryuto asked. "Exactly." Kuroko answered. "What would you have done if it turned into a fight?" Kagami asked. "They would have ran away once they saw these guns." Kuroko said as he flexed not showing any type of abdominals.
Ryuto and Kise laughed as Kagami started scolding him. Eventually their laughter died down.
"Well it was fun playing with you again Kurokocchi and it was fun playing with you Kagamicchi." Kise says as he walked away. "What the kinda nickname is that?!" Kagami said frustrated. "He gives it to people he respects." Kuroko said.
This did not end up helping, Kagami went on a rant saying that he did not want a nickname. Ryuto laughed as the two friends bickered about pointless things.
"There you are!" a voice yelled.
Ryuto looked forwards and saw the coach running straight for them. She immediately headed for Kuroko first and put him in some kind of wrestling hold. Which looked like it was painful. Kuroko kept asking for help but no one came to his aid. Eventually Ryuto made it back to his house and sat down on the couch, he starts to drift off, but shakes himself awake. I need a shower and some fresh clothes Ryuto thought to himself. As he walked into the shower and let the water rain down on him, he stood there for a few moments thinking. I wonder what you're thinking right now cousin Ryuto says to himself. He exits the shower a lies down on his bed after putting on his pajamas. Maybe I showed too much today, well no use moping about it now Ryuto thought as he turned off the lamp and went straight to sleep.
AN: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I realized it was short, but I'm working with someone to try and make them longer and more exciting, such as making the games seem more actiony. Or what might end up happening is that nongame chapters will be longer than game chapters. But thats what I have in mind. Remember to review, follow and/or favorite. Also any ideas you might have just write them in the reviews and I'll try my best to add them in.
