Hope everyone is enjoying my stories. Been busy with work and I always feel drained after coming home. But it's somewhat relaxing and very fun to be writing these stories. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Disclaimer: Do not own Kuroko no Baskue

Classes were the same as the previous day, with group introductions and homework. When the final class was over students began going home or to club activities. In the gym, the basketball players are doing warm-up exercises. Blowing her whistle, Riko gains the attention of the players.

"Ok everyone, today we're gonna be playing a mini game. It'll be the first years versus the second years. " The coach announces and some of the first-years seem nervous.

"What a mini game?" One of them said

"There's nothing to be afraid of" Kagami had a smile on his face, "It's always better to have stronger opponents than weak ones. Let's go".

With the freshman in yellow and the 2nd years in blue, Riko throws the ball up. Kagami got the tip off and passed it to Kawahara who dribbled it down the court and passed over the second year's heads to Kagami who went for the first dunk.

"That dunk was unbelievable" Kawahara said in awe

"Amazing" Furihata nodded along

They're better than I expected Riko thought as she watched Kagami. Such a destructive force for such unpolished, intuitive play.

"This is unbelievable" Hyuga whispers while wiping the sweat from his brow

Kagami made dunk after dunk after dunk. The score, first-year 11 second-years 8.

"I can't believe the first years are this strong" Koganei had his hands on his knees "Kagami's doing it all himself"

Shit! That kid still has me on edge Kagami growled in thought. Kuroko had the ball but it was quickly stolen from him and moved back down the court.

It's him again Furihata thought to himself "Keep it together" He yelled

For all the profound things he says, he can't play for shit. Kagami thought as he raced past Kuroko on the court. Guys who are all talk… he stole the ball before Mitobe could score for the other team Piss me off more than anything!

"So high" Fukuda gaped

"Nothing can stop Kagami now" Kawahara grinned

"Time to put them in their place" Hyuga said

"It's on" Izuki smiled

Kagami had the ball but he was being triple teamed by Hyuga, Koganei, and Izuki. He tried to move but he was stopped at every turn.

"They're desperate to stop Kagami" Kawahara said

"They're double teaming him even though he doesn't have the ball" Fukuda added. Each of them looked serious now. "They have no intention of letting him have the ball!"

Kagami looked frustrated as the 2 nd years continued to score. The scene changed to show the new score first-years 15 second-years first years were all panting and sweating

"They're good" Kagami stated

"There is no way we could have won" Kawahara stated

"I've had enough" before Furihata could react Kagami had grabbed him by the color and pulled him up.

"Enough?! What the hell are you talking about?!" before a fight could break out between the two, Kuroko calmly walked up to Kagami and using his knee to hit Kagami in the back of his, making him falter and drop Furihata.

"Please calm down" the expressionless boy said monotonously.

Kagami turned around looking pissed a black energy around him "You bastard…" All the first years backed off yelling terror at the frightening threw a few hits and Kuroko dodged them all easily.

"Looks like they're fighting" Koganei said watching. Izuki's eyes widened

"What's wrong" Koganei asked as he continued to watch Kagami raging at Kuroko and the others trying to calm him down.

"Was he in the game" Izuki asked confused

"Kuroko, I don't know" Koganei admitted

I guess it time to play for real thought Kuroko as he moved his wrist and hand

"Excuse me. Could you just pass me the ball" He asked

What can you do with the ball once you get it? Fukuda wondered as he dribbled. He moved to pass it to Kuroko anyway, At least don't let them take it

The ball moved toward Kuroko and things slowed down for a moment focusing on Kuroko as his light blue eyes seemed to take in everything around him. The ball was passed over their heads to an unsuspecting Furihata. He looked shocked as he caught the ball not knowing where it had come from

He turned and scored. The 2nd years looked baffled "It went…what… how did that pass go through?" Hyuga was stumped

Riko pov

Who is he; his stats were way too low when I saw them yesterday,below average in fact. And on top of that, he was almost at his limit. Yet why do I feel so uneasy. Is something unbelievable happening? I thought astounded.

I watch closely as Kuroko passed, just barely touching the ball but somehow sending it off on a new course with precision and accuracy.

Is he using his lack of presence to pass Riko observed her eyes calculating. He's not even touching the ball for very long. Could he be diminishing his already weak presence even more? Misdirection a technique used in slight of hand, he's drawing his opponent's attention away from himself. To be more accurate he's not using his lack of presence, but directing his opponent's direction elsewhere. I wonder how someone with this kind of ability managed not to be recognized. I wonder….

Normal pov

Kawahara had the ball he looked around trying to find an opening when Kuroko suddenly appeared. He quickly passed the ball to Fukuda who caught it looking amazed.

"Go for it! Shoot!" Kagami yelled looking excited. They scored. The ball continued to be passed randomly and the first years scored again.

"They passed the ball and made the shot before we realized it " Izuki said amazed

"What's going on," Koganei questioned as Kuroko passed the ball to Kagami.

Hyuga cursed Damn it! I got caught up in Kuroko's pass!

Kagami smirked and shot.

The score was now first-years 36 second-years 37.

"I can't believe it's a one point difference"

The ball was stolen from Koganei by Fukuda and passed to Furihata who threw it to Kuroko.

"Crap!" Hyuga gasped

"GO KUROKO!" His team shouted as Kuroko dribbled to the basket with a significant head start. Kuroko tried to shoot…

…and missed.

All the first years looked distressed. Kagami got the ball and went for the dunk "That's why I hate the weak. You have to make the shot, dumbass,"Kuroko just smiled .

After the match finished practice was over. Before Kuroko was able to leave he was called over by Riko and Hyuga.

"Kuroko-kun, how were you able to play like that? I have never seen anything like that." Riko asks

"Yeah, I thought you didn't have any experience in a basketball match. You didn't put anything on your signup sheet for past experience. " Hyuga added.

"I'm sorry. Seeing as my cousin showed me how to play I didn't think to write that since it wasn't for an official team or club. My cousin is a starter a Rakuzan University. His coach allows me to go to their practices at times as a favor to him." The teal haired boy explains.

Both second-years look at the boy in astonishment and disbelief.

"Oi, you can't be serious. That's like a powerhouse college for like any sport. And you got trained by a starter?" Hyuga asks again and Kuroko just nods.

"Ok, thank you for the info. You can go now." Riko says. Kuroki bows and leaves.

At Maji Burger, Kagami had a tray stacked high with burgers. He sat down at a table where Kuroko was not noticing him there. He had set his stuff down and took a bite before he noticed Kuroko. Kuroko just stared at him, a shake in hand and Kagami looked shocked. Kuroko just set down his shake and said a simple "Hello."

"Where did you come from? What are you doing?" Asked the red head.

"I was sitting here first. I like this place's vanilla shakes." Was the pale boys response.

"Go somewhere else" Kagami told him

"I don't want to" the quiet boy said.

"If someone sees us they'll think we're friends." Kagami said, like it would be a huge problem.

"This is my usual hangout." Kuroko said, uncaring.

Kagami sighed and tossed Kuroko a hamburger "Here. I don't like guys who suck at basketball. But you've earned yourself one of those"

"Thanks"

After they finished the boys walked down the street together.

"Hey Kuroko, do you know about the Generation of Miracles?" Kagami asks out of nowhere, and Kuroko nods his head

"They're a group of prodigies that go to the same school. Although I have never seen them I've heard of their talents. " Kuroko explains.

"Yep. That's them. They are all amazing and I can't help but want to compete against them. I want to get stronger, so I can be on even ground with them. And I think Seiren can help with that." Kagami states." Hey, before you said somethin' about being a shadow. What does that mean? "

"It means just that, I'm a shadow. The stronger the light the darker the shadow, and the more it accentuates the brightness of the light. I will be the shadow to your light and help make you even better than the Generation of Miracles. " Kuroko says with determination in his voie.

Kagami laughed."Do what you want. Not that I can stop ya."

"I will" Kuroko replies with a small smile.

He looks kinda cute when he smiles. He should do it more often. Kagami thought before he shakes his head. No there is nothing cute about him. Although I wonder how the others would react if they met him.

"See ya." And with that, the boys went their separate ways.
