Chapter 11

Rakuzan vs Yousen (second part)

Yousen has the ball. Himuro is advancing but Akashi steals the ball. The Yousen player says "I see you are better than before but this isn't enough" Hayama runs to the opponent hoop but feels an ominous aura behind him. When the blond tries to shoot, Murasakibara is in front of him and gets the ball.

Nebuya, Hayama and Akashi tries to mark together Murasakibara, but the giant is so strong that when he smashes the ball in the hoop, Rakuzan players fall. Nebuya and Hayama quickly get up. Akashi tries to stand up as well but he feels pain in an ankle and fall again. Why can't I stand up? The red head is trying again when Murasakibara grips Akashi's arm and lift him.

The purple giant with scorn in his voice says " This is the reality, this Aka-chin can't do anything like two years ago. Without Aka-chin, no matter what you try, Rakuzan is bound to lose. So how is it? Was it fun, basketball?" Akashi bites his lips trying to control his rage. Nebuya goes to them "Oi, what are you doing?"

Murasakibara releases Akashi that fall on the floor. Mibuchi goes to him "Sei-chan!" and gives him his shoulder helping him to stand. Murasakibara says to Nebuya "Why are you so mad? I just gave him a hand, and gave him a piece of my mind"

Kuroko bows to his coach and begs "Please let me in. Even if I will spend all my energy, even if my body fall apart, please let me play"

Shirogane doesn't want to send Kuroko in the court, the boy hasn't enough stamina to bear a whole game, but without Akashi, he hasn't a choice "Very Well" the coach requires a member change. The referee whistles "Rakuzan member change!"

Mibuchi helps Akashi to walk toward the bench. Kuroko goes to him "Akashi-kun", Rakuzan captain stares deeply in Kuroko's blue eyes; with the whole composure he can muster despite the storm he is feeling inside, Akashi orders "Win".

Kuroko enters in the basketball court and goes to the purple giant "Murasakibara-kun, you just said that if Akashi-kun is gone, Rakuzan will lose no matter what we try" Murasakibara confirms it.

The phantom keeps to talk "It's no over yet, even if he's not here, he gave me a order. To be honest I don' t like when he orders people around but I will let it slide this time" Kuroko sends to the giant a gaze filled with determination and rage "I'll beat you in his stead!"

Murasakibara replies "Are you going to beat me? If you are actually serious about what you just said, I will crush you, weakling"

Kuroko says "No matter how hard you work, you can't reach it. Even if you like it more than anyone else, nothing comes to fruition, sometime it can destroy you as well. That's nothing rare. But you still practice hard because you like it, and you get happier than ever when you win. I definitely won't lose to someone like you, who rejects other people's hard work"

Murasakibara retorts "I told you those petty ideals are what make me so damn annoyed"

On the bench, the coach examines Akashi's wound "The ankle is swelled, you could have pulled a nerve. It doesn't look serious but I forbid you to play in this match. After the game I'll take you to a doctor" Shirogane gives the first aid. Akashi is bitter. This match serves to let go his past and move forward, how can he miss it? He feels anger toward himself, he feels so helpless.

Bokushi Akashi says If you had left me out, this wouldn't have happen.

Oreshi Akashi retort Shut up. The match isn't over.

Akashi looks at Kuroko, I believe in you, Tetsuya.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The match resumes. Hayama gets the ball and passes it to Kuroko. The phantom uses a vanishing drive and evades Wei Liu. He takes the phantom shot stance. Murasakibara tries to stop him remembering Himuro's advice, but instead to shoot in the hoop, the ball goes to Hayama's hand who slam dunk. Hayama says "Kuro-chan isn't the only one wanting to defeat you!"

Murasakibara says annoyed "Gathering your strengths together, that all ever do. But I told you, those are just pieces of trash in front of me" he emits his threatening aura.

"Yes, we are planning on gathering our strengths together... but, I told you already Murasakibara-kun..." Kuroko places himself behind Murasakibara marking him "I'm going to beat you"

Murasakibara says "hey, if you screw around too much here, you're gonna get hurt like Aka-chin"

Kuroko calmly replies "If it does happen, I'll simply stand up again" like in the past "I will stop you Murasakibara-kun".

The giant is confused, Kuroko is so light and weak! Are you made of cotton candy? even the others Yousen players are puzzled and an uneasy Fukui passes the ball to Murasakibara. The purple head decides to shake Kuroko away with raw power but Kuroko is so light that he can't even feel him so for a split of a second, he forgets the phantom existence. Himura yells "Atsushi!" but he is too late. Murasakibara pushes Kuroko out of the court. The referee whistles "Foul!"

Hayama goes to Kuroko "That was too reckless Kuro-chan! Akashi-captain will get mad! He doesn't like you getting hurt" the sky blue haired boy replies deadpanned "I'm fine and Akashi-kun isn't in the court, is he?" Hayama laughs "Ahaha, This is why I like you!" Hayama feels chills in his spine, he turns his face toward the bench "Not in that sense, Akashi-captain!"

Akashi looks at Kuroko with eyes full of scolding. The phantom has the nerve to ignore him. Kuroko returns in the court and goes to Murasakibara "Basketball isn't simple enough to just win by being big, Murasakibara-kun" the giant gets angry.

Nebuya and Mibuchi go near Kuroko. The muscles man says "Sure you have guts! and you stopped him with this little body! I feel my blood boils! Next time I will stop him! ahaha"

Mibuchi adds "But now you can't use the same strategy anymore"

Kuroko confirm it "It worked because I took him by surprise, but now he is wary of me, that why from now on we will use that defense formation we've been working on these months".

The match resumes, Mibuchi gets the ball and shoots in the hoop "Don't underestimate me. I'm not the most beautiful shooter for nothing" Hayama sweat drop "Reo-nee, beauty has nothing to do with this!" Rakuzan makes a man to man defense formation, but steadily changing the mark targets. When the ball arrives to Murasakibara, Kuroko steals it. This defense formation is created to make the best use of the phantom's steals. Sorry Akashi-kun, only during this match let me use it, Kuroko uses the phantom shot and scores. Rakuzan keeps playing with the S.A. M. formation. The third quarter ends.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

At Yousen bench the team talks about strategy, Coach Araki gives instructions for the last quarter "We'll pierce through with Himuro's dibble. Yousen's Ace isn't Murasakibara. It's Murasakibara and Himuro double Ace"

At Rakuzan bench, Akashi is ready to scold but Kuroko interrupts him "After the match you can reproach me" the captain decides to stay silent because indeed this isn't the time. Coach Shirogane starts to give instructions. Nebuya asks him "about that, Coach, if they penetrate through and the battle turns to a half-court battle, make it 2-3 zone with me in the middle, please"

Nebuya pumps up his muscles "I'll cover the entire two-pointer area just like Murasakibara. I'll stop anyone who come inside because..." Nebuya smirks "...I'm the strongest!" and also adds "For Akashi as well!"

Mibuchi teases "Eikichi! So do you care for your kohai! Such a good senpai!

Hayama joins "So under those stacks of muscles there is an heart!"

Kuroko says "Technically the heart is also a muscle"

Rakuzan players laugh, while Nebuya yells "You are only jealous of my body built!"

Mibuchi retorts "Like I want to be a Gorilla. Jokes aside, we must take revenge for Sei-chan!"

Hayama states "We're going to teach them to not mess with Rakuzan or Akashi! Although he is the devil sometimes, he is still our captain!"

Akashi smiles on those words, not Hayama's, the blond will get punished for his insolence, nice Akashi is still Akashi after all. He smiles about the whole talk. His teammates care for him. He really isn't alone anymore. Kuroko takes Akashi's hand. There is no need for words between them.

Akashi comes to a decision. He wants to fight alongside them. The red head bows his head to the coach "Please let me play the last quartet" Shirogane replies "You can't do it with your ankle"

"the wound isn't serious and I don't feel the pain anymore. I beg you, let me play." Shirogane stares the lowered head filled with determination. Ah, my heart softened with the years "Very well. I'll let you play but at the first sign of pain I will substitute you" Akashi is grateful and nods.

The referee whistles. The last quarter starts.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Murasakibara pierces Rakuzan defense, he overpowers Nebuya and dunk. Nebuya yells "Next time I will stop you!"

Himuro dibbles toward Nebuya, Kuroko intercepts him but Himuro reacts quickly "You are good, I almost lost it" and passes the ball to Murasakibara who scores.

Akashi lied about the pain he feels on his ankle but he bears it, he takes the ball and passes to Mibuchi that scores a three pointer.

Yousen gets the ball. The ball arrives in Himuro's hand. He faces Nebuya; the muscles man tries to remember what Akashi said about Himuro shot but the Yousen player manages to shoot and says "Although Akashi could have told you about my move, I can change the timing according the opponent's movements. My Mirage shot is untouchable".

Akashi feels his other self pressing on him, Don't make the same mistake like before, let me go out!The pain and the screams on his head makes Akashi missing the pass and the ball goes out.

Kise takes the ball "What's up with this sad state? I thought you were someone I knew, but I was mistaken, Who are you?" Kise glares Akashi coldly "I don't know you, this lame person so distracted isn't the captain of the generation of miracle. Anyway, it look like tomorrow we'll be playing against Murasakibaracchi"

the giant replies "That's is right, but I'm in the middle of the game now, so don't talk to me"

Kise leaving says "Somehow, if this is how it is... a certain captain I had, was far stronger"

Akashi is taken back, is he really weaker of his other self? Has nothing changed from two years ago? Akashi asks Kuroko "Am I really that weak Tetsuya?"

Kuroko replies blunt "I don't understand what do you mean with your question..." he stares deeply into Akashi's eyes "...but haven't you really good eyes?"

Akashi feels like slapping himself, Tetsuya is right, what was he doing in the whole match? He was so caught up with his past that he lost sight about who he is now. This is why Kise said he didn't know me.

Kuroko says "Akashi-kun?" Akashi-kun is really weird today. The red head smiles "I'm fine now Tetsuya. Let's win this match" Kuroko agrees.

Outside the court Kasamatsu says to Kise "How rare Kise, to see you helping out an enemy in need" Kise replies "Is that so? I just... said what I was thinking. If they lose here, than this is all they are. I want to play against Murasakibara-cchi as well... but if you make me choose which I prefer I'm interested about Akashicchi's teammate, how can he stand up even though his defeat in middle school? I want to see who is the better sore loser."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yousen has the ball but Akashi uses the emperor eye and steals it before they can pass the ball to a teammate; when Rakuzan has the ball, the red head passes smoothly to Mibuchi, this is his normal pass! Namely a perfect pass. Mibuchi scores. Kuroko smiles, Akashi-kun is back.

Murasakibara observes the situation, Aka-chin movements are different from before.

Himuro dibbles the ball but Nebuya blocks him "if I can't touch it while you are shooting, than I will stop you before you even think about doing it" Rakuzan player uses his super strength to steal the ball and passes it to Akashi that scores a three pointer.

Murasakibara takes the ball and goes toward the opponent's hoop. Akashi is under the hoop, and this time he isn't afraid. He uses the emperor eye and steals the ball from the giant. He passes it to Kuroko that use an ignite pass and the ball arrives in Hayama hands who is under Yousen hoop. The blond scores. Rakuzan is dominating the match. Himuro is shocked, No, I can't lose here. Not before I play against Taiga.

Aomine and Kise think that the only way for Yousen to overturn the outcome is for either Murasakibara or Himuro to get in the zone, but the giant has the bad habit to give up that can't permit him to archive such status, and Himuro has another problem.

Murasakibara tries again to dunk but Akashi ankle break him. In his knees, the purple head can only stare Akashi who emits the same aura like two year ago when the red head defeat him, no... not the same, the aura is different but equally powerful, or even stronger?

Coach Araki calls for the timeout. Murasakibara seats on the bench and says "Enough already, I'm done, sub me out. It's just that it got boring" Araki and Fukui are ready to kill him.

Okamura says "If we sub you out now, we won't be able to win the game. Are you saying you don't care if we lose, you bastard...?" the giant replies "Yeah, I mean no one can stop Aka-chin now, we are gonna lose anyway" Himuro can't restrain his anger and punch the purple haired teen. He yells "Cut it out! Atsushi! The game isn't over yet!"

Murasakibara says "You know that zeal is what annoying me the most. Besides, Muro-chin, you're even less of a match for Aka-chin than me. Do you understand what difference in talent means?"

Himuro quietly says "I understand something like that, I always been jealous of my brother talent..."

In the bleacher Aomine explains to Momoi why Himuro can't enter the zone "Only the chosen ones can get in the zone. I admit that his level skill is high, you might say he's infinitely close to the GOM, but he still only a prodigy. No matter how close he approaches, he will never cross over to our side"

On Yosen bench, Himuro says spilling some tears "...and yet, you that have what I thirst for so badly that hands might as well be growing out of my throat, would trow away the match so easily? That make me so angry I might lose it!

Murasakibara replies "Ahhh gross. I can't believe you, you are crying? For the first time I'm seeing something way too annoying, so much I actually think it's awesome. Guess it can't be helped. I'll stay on the court to the end" the giant is moved by Himuro words. He asks his coach an hair band and tie his hair. On the other side of the basketball court Kuroko says "the situation looks more dangerous now than before" Akashi agrees "Now Murasakibara is serious".

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

In the court, Akashi goes near the giant " I thought at this point you would have give up"

Murasakibara replies "Yeah, I was going to... but I didn't. I'll just go ahead and crush you. I don't like how it become so bothersome, but I like losing even less"

Akashi smiles "I also don't like losing Murasakibara. Come at me with all your strength".

Himuro has the ball, Nebuya goes to block him "Your tricks no longer work on me" Himuro smiles "You think so?" the one-eyed boy passes the ball to Murasakibara and Akashi tries to stop him but the giant does something unimaginable if he is still his previous self; he passes the ball to Himuro that scores. Akashi feels proud, finally Murasakibara opened to his teammates. Thanks to the new teamwork, Yousen manages to score but Rakuzan keeps to score as well.

In the last minutes of the match, because Murasakibara was completely into the match, for the first time he enters in the zone. Akashi uses the emperor eye to steal the ball but with the power of the zone, the giant catches again the stolen ball. Murasakibara doesn't notice Kuroko behind him. The phantom chase away the ball, his captain catches it and runs toward the other side. Murasakibara reaches him and tries to block him.

Akashi resolute says "I'm not the same as two years ago. I grew stronger as myself as well" he ankles break the giant and scores.

Although there are only a few seconds left, Himuro tries again and passes the ball to Murasakibara but the giant, under the opponent hoop, loses his energy and can't jump. Akashi says "This wasn't planned, but it's because of these events going beyond expectations that makes basketball fun, don't you think so Murasakibara?" Akashi steals the ball. The referee whistles. Rakuzan wins.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Himuro can't believe it, he lost... I'm sorry Taiga, I couldn't keep the promise. I'm unfit to be your brother.

Akashi goes to Murasakibara "This has happened because you lack training. Next time work more seriously"

Murasakibara replies "Ha? No... because I'm quitting basketball. Just because I was very into the game, I played until the end, but I was bored. It's already a boring game. If on top of that I lose, well there is no point to keep going"

Akashi makes the smiles 'I know everything' " You won't"

Nebuya walks near his captain "Is he quitting because a defeat? He is a coward."

Kuroko replies "No, he won't do it, because it's impossible for him to hate basketball" after these words the phantom faints. He is really tired. Akashi, despite being wounded, carries with care his lover in the locker room. No one can touch Tetsuya except him.

Himuro says to the purple haired boy "We'll win next time, Atsushi"

"Ha? I already said I'm quitting"

"but it doesn't seem true to me"

Murasakibara is crying, he wanted win.

Outside the court, Kise smiles. He looks forward to his match against Rakuzan.

In the bleacher, Kagami doesn't know what to do. Can he go to comfort Himuro? but they aren't brothers anymore... will he get angry? Kagami squeezes the chain with the ring on his neck.

Mayuzumi says "You are BaKagami" the taller Seirin player yells "hey! Are you picking a fight?"

Mayuzumi replies "So you can act like the idiot you are" Kagami understands the hidden message. He smiles "Thank you" the dark red head runs to search Himuro. The others Seirin members smile at the scene, so even Mayuzumi has an heart. Kiyoshi says "So even you have an heart" Hyuuga smack him "Don't tell our thought out loud"

Mayuzumi sighs, Again, why did I go to Seirin? Ah, it's because is the nearest to my home.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kagami finds a beaten Himuro outside the building together with a male that is strangling Alex. Kagami is furious "Who the hell are you? Let her go, now!" Haizaki looks at him "Ah! You are Chihiro's partner. I wonder if we will play against each other in the final"

Alex takes this opportunity for dropping a kick. Haizaki lets her go "You are a fierce woman" Kagami wants to punch him but Himuro stops him "Don't lay a hand on him! If a player starts fighting in a place like this, you aren't the only one who'll get into trouble!" Himuro explains what happened to Kagami.

Kagami look at Haizaki, how can a basketball player hit someone for something so stupid! He doesn't care for basketball at all!

A ball is thrown to Haizaki who catches it "You sure got some nerve Ryouta"

Kagami asks Kise "Do you know him?"

Kise replies "He is Haizaki Shougo. He is the guy who was one of Teiko starting members until I joined and he is a player that Akashicchi forced to quit the basketball team. He had skill but he was too violent. I pretty much took his place.. or rather that was how it supposed to be but... what is with this turn of event?"

Haizaki says "Well, there is this guy who hates you GOM to death so he hired me. But don't get it wrong I didn't accept because I want revenge, I'm just killing time. I don't give a shit about basketball but you became the famous GOM after I quit. So I felt like stealing that seat back from anyone of you five. I came to take back what is mine and if my opponent is Ryouta then is even better, because you ended up getting called the 5th man, without being able to beat me even once. It's a pity I can't do it, because your will surely lose in your next match against Seijuurou. But It's okay for me. I have a score to settle with that midget as well"

Kagami is surprised, Kise lost to him?

Kise says "Kagamicchi I wants to check something... who is that hot blond?"

Seirin player replies "She is mine and Tatsuya basketball teacher. But that not the issue here!"

Kise returns serious " I'm really sorry, can you leave this as it is? I understand the situation but I really want defeat him. I said before I don't care about the title of GOM but it isn't cheap enough to be thrown around by someone like you, Shougo."

"You speak too big Ryouta, are you sure you can defeat Seijuurou before to go against me? And I told you I'm not here to buy it but I'm telling you to hand it over 'cause I want it" Haizaki goes to Kise and stepped on the blond's foot very hard. Kise bearing the pain, with determination on his voice says "I'm going to win" Haizaki laughs and walks away.

After the storm is passed Himuro says "That's right. Weren't you here for something, Taiga?

The dark red head sighs "Yeah... it's not the time for that anymore. I'll tell you later. Definitely!"

Kagami goes to the Kaijo player "Kise, don't lose no matter what!" the blond replies "of course".

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Coach Shirogane says to the Rakuzan players "I will take Akashi to a doctor. I think you are old enough to go to the hotel alone"

The players bow to the coach and say bye to their captain. Kuroko, now awake, says "When you get back, come to my room. I want to know how the visit went"

Akashi replies "Of course. Don't forget there is a good scolding waiting for you. And on the way don't get into any trouble"

Kuroko sighs "Yes, mother" Akashi get annoyed "I'm only worried about you, I don't want you to get hurt"

the phantom says "Don't worry, I will be careful, see you later" Kuroko walks away with the other club's members.

Coach Shirogane says to Akashi "Stay here. I will ask for a car".

Left alone, the crimson haired guy hears a laughter. From the shadow a guy appears. Akashi knows him. Ogiwara Shigehiro, Tetsuya middle school teammates

"Look who is alone, long time is passed, Akashi Seijuurou or should I say Kuroko's boyfriend? Do you know that me and him are childhood friend?" Ogiwara chuckles darkly "I must say I know Kuroko very well but I can't understand how he can bear to stand near you, or even love you after what you did to him. But let's take this matter aside, how much do you really know about him?"

Akashi at first wanted to apologize about what happened during the match against Meiko, but he doesn't like the mocking tone Ogiwara is using "I know Tetsuya very well, what are you implying?"

The chestnut haired boy replies "Nothing. Oh, don't get angry, you could risk to kill someone you know?"

Akashi glares him "What do you want from me? to apologize? I'm ready to do it"

Ogiwara's smile falters, his voice is filled with rage " Your apologies are useless, your sin is too big. I will never forgive you! I will crush you and the GOM, like you have done to us!" he goes near Akashi and whispers in the ear "You who claim to know Kuroko, do you know that him never go under the hoop?" Ogiwara mockers "I wonder why..."

Akashi is growing annoyed "What do you mean?"

Ogiwara laughs "Why don't you ask your lover? Seeing you are so close..." Ogiwara loses his smile again "You don't know anything" he gives a final glare filled with hate to Akashi before leaving.

Akashi stares at the leaving boy, Ogiwara Shigehiro, a new enemy I didn't expect.

Rakuzan captain is pondering about the whole talk when he hears his coach "Akashi, let's go" the red haired boy follows Shirogane to the doctor.

Kuroko, walking with his teammates, thinks about tomorrow match, Next is Kise-kun. The phantom is filled with determination, I won't lose.

For all the Ogiwara lovers I'm sorry I made him an enemy, but at least he will have more screen time than the Canon!Please review.
