When he thought about the Generation of Miracles, he was really hoping that he would at least get to play a basketball match with them. Midorima was fine, but Kise was just plain out weird and he honestly didn't think things could get any worse but he just had to jinx himself didn't he.

His palms were sweaty as he glanced over at the girl on the couch before him, her ebony hair braided neatly to a side, her bangs covering a side of her face as she sat crossed legged. The tension in the air thick. A mole adorned the corner of her visible eye as she smiled at him, a poker face. "Hello, Taiga," she said smiling.

Kagami gulped before nodding, "Tatsuya."

The purple haired giant beside the girl stared at Kuroko, "Kuro-chin."

Kuroko stared back blankly, "Murasakibara."

Flashback, earlier in the day...

"So we have a game tonight," said Hyuuga as they waited in line for some coffee. "Apparently we're the opening game for another basketball team, I believe they're really well known."

Kagami grinned, "Oh really? What's their name?"

"I think it was called Yosen,"

Kagami felt his core freeze as he stared wide eyed at his sempai. "Did you say Yosen?"

"Yeah, there's a poster of their team." Hyuuga pointed absentmindedly as he picked up his cup of coffee. Kagami snapped his head to look at the poster where a picture of her stood in middle of the page. He stared at it for a while, she looked surprisingly real, almost life like in fact. That must have been some expensive poster quality.

"Hello Taiga," the poster spoke.

He yelped as he watched the girl approach him until she stood right before him. "We have some business to attend to," she told him. "But not now," her eyes glanced around the room as all pairs of eyes seemed to be staring at her. "Maybe later tonight, okay?"

With that, she left leaving him stunned.

He felt a forced punch the back of his head, scowling he turned to see his captain's disapproving face. "You sneaky bastard, you already have a girlfriend and yet you hit on beautiful girls like Himuro Tatsuya. You should be ashamed, bakagami." He told him.

Himuro Tatsuya, her name was no secret to the basketball circuit. The stunningly beautiful shooting guard of the exclusive university, Yosen. Her charms to attract men was universal. Old or even young, she could get them all without even trying.

Kagami scratched the back of his head, "I'm not cheating on her, besides, we have a bad history."

"What? You asked her out on a date and she rejected you?" Hyuuga teased.

"No, she's my ex-girlfriend." Replied Kagami, dryly.

"What!?" Exclaimed Hyuuga, dropping his cup of coffee on the ground, the cover falling off the paper cup as the contents spilled out, but that didn't matter right now. Hyuuga grabbed the taller man's shoulder, forcing him to face him. "How did you guys end up together?"

"We were childhood friends, she made me call her big sister but then we began to get feelings for each other, and we dated during high school." Kagami's left double brow began to twitch animatedly at an uncontrollable rate.

Hyuuga raised a brow, "Kagami, what the hell is up with your eyebrow?"

"Nothing..." He whispered lowly, his feet beginning to tap away wildly. "Nothing at all..." His pupils began to flicker about rapidly.

End of flashback...

He stared at the girl that he once loved, she had changed so much. He couldn't stand it, he lunged forward at the purple haired giant. "She used to be so nice!" He exclaimed, fist out forward but before he could even reach the man, a bright violet light engulfed him before shooting him back through the wall. Kagami let out a groan of pain as he felt Kuroko and Kiyoshi help him up. He looked up at the giant that now stood in his over six foot glory, his long hair tied into a ponytail.

Himuro sat with a poker face, "Didn't I tell you? Atsushi is a candy cadet." She said rather proudly.

"Most people don't use a hundred percent of their brains, that's why they don't have candy powers but I can." Supplied Murasakibara who began eating the candy bar Himuro handed over to him. "Thanks." He murmured while he chewed.

Kagami turned to Kuroko, his gaze questioning. "I knew he went to a college for candy cadets but that was it," she admitted. Kagami let out a groan.

"Lets handle this little settlement for Kuroko's hand of love tomorrow," said Himuro, smiling. "It's better that way, so neither teams gets disqualified at least." She supplied.

"Wait," said Kuroko, monotonously standing up, her eyes narrowed coldly at the girl. "How did you know about my exes?" Despite not mentioning it, it was clear to Kuroko that this girl, Himuro, definitely knew more than she was letting in on.

Himuro's poker face didn't waver. "Have you ever heard of a basketball stadium called the Emperor's Domain?" Kuroko felt a throat go dry as her body froze. "Well while I was there, a little birdie told me something." Himuro told her before she glanced at the watch on her wrist. "We better get going, Atsushi." She said as her boyfriend followed her. "Remember Taiga, tomorrow in front of Hiro Bargain house at twelve pm."

Later that night, he found himself lying in Kuroko's bed beside the petite girl. Neither of them could sleep, unrested questions seemed to rest in their minds. "So you and Himuro..."

"Yeah," replied Kagami. "She's really changed..." He sighed.

Kuroko gazed at him, "What was she like in high school?"

Kagami smiled to himself, "She was so nice. Always volunteered to help others, and even in games for little kids. Everyone loved her, and so did I." He admitted with a soft smile. "For a while, she was perfect and we were really happy..." He said, his brow slowly beginning to twitch in ungracefully. "But then she began to change, started kicking out the members of the basketball club we formed that she deemed weak. She began recruiting members from outside school, forming her own team and at first I was alright with it because I wanted to save our relationship but then..." His brow moved frantically now. "She told me to get out of her life..." He whispered, his knuckles turning white as they grasped the baby blue blanket tightly. "It was so cold that day..." He murmured.

Kuroko wrapped her arms around the tanned teen, "Why does your brow twitch when you mention your break-up?" She asked softly.

"It does?" Kuroko nodded. "I thought it would have been gone by now..." He sighed, scratching the back of head. "According to Kiyoshi, I was traumatised by the after break up shock. He found me in the snow one day, just curled up like that." A hand laced with his as he stared down at Kuroko's teal blue eyes. "What about you, how did you and that candy cadet guy get together?"

Kuroko rolled away from him and back onto her side of the bed. "Well to be honest, the moment Murasakibara walked by, I dumped Kise. Harsh, I know but back then I used to be like that, Kagami." She admitted. "Halfway during he year, Murasakibara disappeared, apparently his father forced him to go to a candy cadet school." She said. "But then he came back one day, well...he made a hole in the moon to demonstrate his candy powers and love to me." She shrugged.

"Wait! He made a hole in the moon? Isn't that dangerous or something?" Kagami exclaimed, sitting up abruptly and staring at the girl wide eyed.

Kuroko nodded, her hand playing with a strand of teal blue hair. "Yeah, there were a few major nature destructions that took place after that." Her tone was calm and passive.

"That guy is dangerous." Said Kagami, his expression turning horrified.

Kuroko shrugged, "Yeah, but Murasakibara isn't really that bright so I guess you have a chance. Besides, his powers run on a strict candy only diet." She told him.

"How is he not diabetic by now?" Asked Kagami, lying back down into the bed.

Kuroko shrugged once more, her eyes shutting as she began to feel sleepy. "I don't know." She admitted. "Goodnight, Kagami-Kun."

"Oh, goodnight, Kuroko."

At twelve pm the next day, he stood outside Hiro Bargain House. On his side, he had Kiyoshi and Kuroko. Himuro's eyes narrowed as they landed on the tall brown haired teen, "You're still friends with him?" She asked with a raised brow, a hint of annoyance in her tone despite her poker face.

"I never liked you too." Replied Kiyoshi, a smile upon his face. "Two faced envy freak." He sweetly added, grinning wider.

"I'll crush you," said Murasakibara, glaring down at the brunette. "Nobody should say stuff like that to Muro-chin."

Kiyoshi began to laugh, "Wow," he said before his face turned serious. He turned to stare at Kuroko, "He can crush skulls?" He asked in a low tone. Kuroko nodded. Kiyoshi turned to Kagami, patting his head with a wide grin on his lips. "Good luck, lets hope you don't die." Kagami scowled before moving away from Kiyoshi's large hand. "Wait," said Kiyoshi, his eyes travelling to Himuro. "What exactly are they doing?" He asked.

Himuro sighed, "Taiga and Atsushi are going to be running through that shop, the first person who makes it to the other side first, wins and just to make things fair for Taiga, Atushi," her boyfriend turned to look at her, a lollipop hanging from his mouth. "No candy powers okay?"

"Okay, Muro-chin."

Himuro stood at the entrance, "On your marks, get set... go!" They sped off into the entrance.

Kuroko turned to Kiyoshi, "What's so bad about this bargain house?" She asked.

Kiyoshi turned, placing a hand on the petite girl's shoulder, chuckling ominously. "Inside that shop, Kuroko, are the many horrors of product failure..." He whispered. "Their prices were marked down, so low..." He murmured, unconsciously hugging himself.

Inside the store, Kagami was fighting for his life.

"Oh my god, my eyes," exclaimed the red head, shielding his eyes as he couldn't bare to stare at the prices that hung everywhere, but he wasn't the only one.

Murasakibara stood frozen, the giant rubbed his eyes. "It's so cheap," he whispered. "But there's no food here!" He exclaimed, his hands unconsciously moving to tie his hair.

Kagami grabbed some sunglasses as the teen covered his eyes before continuing forth to the other side of the store. "Got to win," he muttered to himself. "For Kuroko."

Murasakibara spotted the red head and began charging towards him, "You! Where is the candy here?" He shouted, chasing him throughout the store. Purple light flaring from his eyes as his powers began to activate. He seemed to be losing more and more control as his powers began to go haywire.

Kagami screamed.

"So how long do you think it'll take?" Asked Kiyoshi.

Himuro glanced at the watch strapped to her wrist, "They can't be much longer, three minutes have passed."

Inside, Murasakibara was losing it. "Where is the candy!?" He screamed.

"Excuse me sir," a sales assistant said as the purple haired teen stared at him. "We don't sell candy here."

A bright intensive like shot out of the windows of Hiro Bargain House. Kiyoshi let out a low whistle, "Nice catch you have. He has completely no control over his powers," he commented, a smile on his lips. "Anymore bright ideas that can destroy more of Tokyo?" He asked sweetly.

Himuro frowned, "Shut up. I'm thinking."

The next time they settled the score was on the basketball court, Seirin vs Yosen. All hope seemed to be lost, until Kagami saw a snack bar. "Here," he held out the wrapped treat. The giant stared at it. There was no label, and it didn't look like health food according to the giant rabbit on the cover. "You look hungry." Said Kagami.

Murasakibara took the candy bar, staring at it, "Is it healthy?" He asked in a childish like tone.

"No."

"Okay," Murasakibara unwrapped it and took a single large bite. He hummed to himself. "It has a really weird favour to it, what is it?"

"Vegan food."

The purple hair giant froze.

"Freeze!" Two members from the stands suddenly jumped down, they wore dark black shades as they pointed their finger at the teen. "Candy cadet police! Atsushi Murasakibara, you have been caught eating excessive health food. You're in violation of law."

Murasakibara dropped the vegan bar, his face blank. "So what, I don't care."

A purple glow surrounded them before a beam shot out of their fingertips. Kagami watched as the giant crumbled to his knees shouting and screaming. The two Candy cadet police looked satisfied at themselves before they walked away.

Murasakibara looked over at Kuroko, his eyes filled with rage. "Kuro-chin!" He lunged for her.

Using his reflexes, Kagami threw a basketball at him. What he didn't expect was for the purple hair teen to suddenly shatter and disappeared. A red icon float in the air where Murasakibara once was, Kagami winced at the image of his smiling face. "What the hell is that supposed to be?" He asked.

Kiyoshi smiled, "I think it's like an extra life or something," the teen replied. In his hand, he held his current boyfriend's hand, Hanamiya Makoto. "Why don't you touch it."

Kagami reached out before he tapped the icon, it disappeared. As he looked back in front of him, he met Himuro's sad face as the girl stared at the empty spot where her boyfriend no longer stood. "Um, are you okay?" He asked awkwardly.

"No, you just head butted my boyfriend out of existence."

Needless to say, they managed to settle their differences.
