A/N: Sorry for the wait guys, I'm back!
Here's the long awaited chapter of how Kuroko will get into the basketball team, will she bribe her captain? Beat him to pulp or maybe... have a relationship with him just for this.
Just joking... or am I? Mwahahaha
Chapter 4
Dribble, Dribble, Who's This Pretty Little Girl?
Kuroko checked once again. This was the fifth time she'd look up the site and read the entire content. If this was false, or if anything here was a sham, everything would be ruined.
Nothing there.
There was not a single rule in the website that said girls were not allowed to participate in matches, official, nationally or internationally. She'd checked again and again in almost every website there was about basketball.
No Rule.
She breathed a sigh of relief. She could play, as long as she can do what she had to do.
Noone noticed a blue-haired girl walk into the court, not a single person looked up to wonder who she nor did they see her, instead they whispered amongst themselves.
"Hey, did you hear? They said that no first year has gotten into the first string on their first try."
"What?! So our best hope is second string?"
"Okay then, second string is our goal today!"
It was just as she remembered.
The sweaty smell of boys who was anxious and excited, all wearing jerseys of some sort and all whispering rumors and tips to each other. She remembered the bounce of the ball in his hands. The thumping of his shoes on the floor. As he tried his best to at least get into the second string.
She remembered them, in the end, standing together. The first year Generation of Miracles.
Her trip down memory lane was interupted by annoying squeals of girls from the door.
"Kyaa~ it's Kise-kun in a jersey!"
"He's so gorgeous no matter what he wears!"
"He looked into my eyes! He totally did."
The bluenette let a little smile form on her lips. Kise had come, and for some reason, the thought of the blonde model here gave her happiness.
"Kurokocchi~!" the blonde called, "where are you?"
The boys stopped talking, instead wondering who was 'Kurokocchi' and why would the blonde have hundred of girls when he looked like a first year to them.
Before the blue haired girl could answer the call, the captain had shouted.
"I am Nijimura Shuzo, captain of the Teiko Basketball Te-"
"What's with that blonde?"
"How can he have so many girls after him, it's not fair!"
The whispers interrupted the captain but both Kuroko and Kise were wise enough to just shut up and listen. Too bad for the rest they didn't.
"-am AND IF YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT THIS THEN YOU MAY LEAVE, OTHERWISE SHUT UP."
The whispers immediately stopped and Kuroko stayed at her place in the back of the gym, waiting patiently for her chance.
With a pissed off look on his face, Nijimura continued. "We will be having a series of tests to determine which string do you belong. Even if you're not immediately placed into the first string, you may retake the test again after a few months or whenever you think you're ready to move higher. So if everyone's done talking, we will begin."
A scared hush swept the room. It was something everyone can agree on. Their captain was not to be messed with.
As the group of boys shuffled to the first part of the test, Kuroko followed them-
Until he was stopped by Nijimura's arm.
"The managers and helpers are over there. You can sign up if you want."
A blank look was his response as the bluenette didn't move from where she stood.
"I'm here to try out for the basketball club, captain."
A surprise silence entered the room as the boys looked back, some looked startled as the girl had appeared to come out of nowhere and the whispers started again.
"Jokes are not welcomed here."
"I have no sense of humor, captain."
The bluenette looked over to the group of boys. There was Aomine with his dark blue hair, Midorima's green hair and rabbit pillow (which was probably his lucky item) and of course Murasakibara's towering height and purple hair gave him away and Kise's blonde hair and energetic smile was right in front. Akashi was nowhere to be found.
For some reason their presence alone gave her courage.
She looked again at the captain who looked incredibly irritated and ready to slap her. Of course not a single guy there would slap a girl, they may be basketball idiots but they were gentlemen.
"I'm sorry miss, but I'm sure there some rule that does not permit girl on a basketball team."
Nijimura looked down, and to his surprise, the girl had vanished from before him.
"There are no rules stating that girl are not permitted to join the basketball club nor are there rules that say that they are not allowed to play in matches, practice or in a competition, nationally and internationally."
The girl appeared beside him, handing over papers with a blank look on her face.
The others had gone silent. Kuroko glanced at Kise who was rocking on his feet, unsure if his interference would just ruin everything.
Nijimura just stared at the first year. Feeling angry yet a little scared at how the girl seemed to pop out of nowhere. He wanted to say no and turn the girl away, but honestly, there were already thoughts of what this girl could do.
"I will let you tryout, only on one condition. You have to beat me in a one-on-one."
A one-on-one. With her new shooting skills, she could go with that. But only 7 out of 10 of her shots ever went in. She wasn't gonna quit asketball because she did 't have the guts to ask for a two-on-two. Besides, after remembering what had rappened in the Rakuzan match, bringing attention to herself would lead to her own downfall.
She wasn't a light that would stand by herself. She was a shadow.
"I refuse. Instead of a one-on-one, I suggest a two-on-two," Kuroko took a breath. It wasn't usually her to disrespect her senpais but this was for basketball. "Or is the captain scared she'd be beaten by a girl and a first player?"
The challenge was now hanging in the air. She was sure the Nijimura was proud of being Teiko's captain and he had the right to be.
Nijimura's anger simmered. This girl was disrespecting her, accusing him of being a coward. He wasn't gonna lie down while she trampled him.
"Fine. A two-on-two then. Pick you partner, but as you said, only a first year is allowed to be your partner."
Kuroko scanned the boys again. Kise-kun was practically begging for her to pick him despite not knowing how to play. Both Aomine and Murasakibara looked disinterested, or rather, Aomine looked like a basketball idiot. Midorima-kun was silently surveying the scene.
There was no hesistance as she picked her partner.
"Aomine-san, please play with me." Kuroko said, no emotion in the girl's voice at all.
Aomine Daiki dropped the ball he was bouncing and turned red at her wording. Even if the tone wasn't, the words were suggestive. At least to his perverted mind, it was. And it was coming from a rather pretty girl, even if she didn't have much of a big chest.
A few laughed at his reaction, getting what he was thinking while Kuroko just tilted her head slightly, wondering what were they laughing at.
Nijimura inspected the tan boy. He looked athletic, obviously a veteran and by the way he handled the ball, he was obviously good.
Unlike the girl before him who looked weak.
"Haizaki, come here."
The white haired boy walked forward lazily. It was obvious that Haizaki would rather be home and fool around than be here. But still the boy came forward and giving Kuroko a look over, he swung his arm over her petite shoulders and smiled.
"Hey baby, won't you rather come home with me than play baskeball like these idiots."
The boy winked, obviously expecting a yes but what happened instead was just as surprising as Akashi losing in shogi.
The blue-haired girl turned to face him and drew her hand back and in one swift motion, she twisted her arm and punched forward and hit Haizaki right in the guts. The white haired boy keeled over in pain while Kuroko blankly looked over at him.
"Please refrain from harassing me in the future."
The white haired boy scowled at the girl as Nijimura came up behind him and smacked his head. This girl may have mocked him but she was still a girl.
Helping Haizaki up, Nijimura looked at the 13 year old girl with more respect than before. He led the other 3 to the empty court simultaneously apologizing for the white haired boy's actions.
Kuroko inwardly frowned. She had forgotten the fact that the three years of training he'd had to develop Ignite Pass Kai was now non-existent. She had practiced a bit but other than that, the 16 year old boy had a 13 year old girl's body now.
Beside her, Aomine stood uncomfortably. He had no idea what was happening, and the girl he was playing basketball with kept disappearing from his eyes. But the excitement was there. IT was just the first day, yet here he was playing basketball.
The four faced each other, Haizaki still in somewhat a little pain from the earlier punch.
The coach was silently, gauging the outcome of the match. Two veterans and their best players versus 2 freshmen, one girl and the other a tall boy. The results were already obvious.
With a blow of a whistle, a ball was thrown up in the air and two boys jumped reaching for the basketball, not knowing that every single move they make could determine the future of a young girl.
The game started.
A/N: I feel like something's missing...
So far this is my longest chappie, woohoo! I've been writing here and there everytime I had the chance and this was the result.
Haizaki's such a womanizer and Aomine is an aho as usual.
I was joking guys :P no Nijimura x Kuroko here... maybe a tad bit of Haizaki and Kuroko
And please tell me if you want Haizaki in Kuroko's harem *sly grin* Because if you want them then you get them
