This is my first time writing fanfic. Please comment and review and share your ideas so that I can improve my writing and content. Also, I would like some ideas for the plot. I apologise for mayuzumi's curses but I though it would be reallistic

I don't own Kuroko no basket. Some names are taken from the one shot.

Chapter 3

"I AM KUROKO"

"And tip off!" screamed the referee

Two really large people jumped into the air reaching for the ball. Seirin's second practice match before the interhigh was against Shutoku. Along with Midorima and Takao, the team had three new additions this year-the captain, Yuuya Miyaji and vice captain Kensuke Kimura . However, the surprise to Seirin came in the form of Shutoku's center who was none another than Kenji Mitobe, the younger brother of Rynnosuke Mitobe.

"I am not going easy on you, Onii Chan" Kenji announced before the tip off. Mitobe nodded and then they jumped. Just as Rynnosuke was about to tap the ball, Kenji smacked it towards a certain shooting guard. Midorima instantly went into form and shot. The ball sliced through the air and promptly swished into the hoop. Midorima confidently adjusted his glasses but he didn't notice a short player cyclone passing the ball to a ready captain. Hyuga caught the cyclone pass and shot a jump shot. The ball took a high arc and landed into the hoop.

"Nice shot Hyuga!" Koganei congratulated.

"Nice with a nice"said Izuki.

"Shut up, Izuki!" Hyuga reprimanded.

A green haired shooting guard looked at Kuroko. "Kuroko!" he cursed.

"Sorry Midorima kun, I can never let you take the first quarter" Kuroko coolly replied.

Midorima reminiscenced about the exact same exchange which happened an year ago. But this time, there was no Kahani Taiga. No weakness for Midorima. Cancer was in the first place and the lucky item was a frog toy. Midorima smiled. He nodded at his own shadow in preparation for a secret move.

"Oh yeah! this is gonna be fun, Shin Chan" Takao grinned.

"Dammit! How do they do it?" Hyuga shouted just as the ball splashed into the hoop. He desperately looked at the scoreboard. The score was 30-16 in favour of Shutoku High and almost all of the points were scored by Midorima Shintaro. Takao and Midorima completely shut Seirin down. First Kuroko was controlled using Takao's Hawk Eye and he was constantly conversing with Midorima to predict Kuroko's next move. The control tower of Seirin was marked by Kensuke Kimura whose giant size and pressure defence completely overwhelmed the Eagle Eye. Izuki could neither dribble nor pass nor shoot. Hyuga was guarded by Miyaji. He was not a strong defender but he had always seemed to tap the ball from Hyuga. Also Hyuga lost track of how many times he got ankle broken and how many times Yuuya got past him. Mitobe was marked by his brother who was using Mitobes's own technique on him. Koganei was conviniently covered by Midorima and was the only one making progress using his reflexes for blocking.

Then came Midorima and Takao's cooperation play. They seemed to take a page out of Kuroko-Kagami and Nash Gold. The play went like this-Takao, who executes Nash Gold's Vanishing pass, passes to Midorima and no one suspects anything. The ball lands into a ready Midorima's shot pocket and he shoots.. It was like a combination of the sky direct 3p, Nash Gold's disguised preparatory movements and Kagami's Misdirection as Midorima draws attention to himself while Takao passes.

"Crap! They got us. With Kuroko kun's Misdirection missing and with Midorima kun's magic shot, there is no way we'll win" coach thought.

"We need a miracle, now" Hyuga thought as he watched Izuki passing to Koganei which will be intercepted by Takao. Takao was an inch close to the ball, but the ball never reached him. A bluenette appeared out of nowhere and tapped the ball towards a very confused captain. Luckily, Hyuga recovered quickly and went into shooting motion. Miyaji jumped to block him. Hyuga took a deep breath.

"I did it once. I"ll do it again" he thought as he jumped, bumped into Miyaji, and shot; performing a successful Earth shot.

"Yes! Way to go captain!" The bench shouted. However, all the captain could feel was the feeling he had got when he used to receive kuroko's tap passes.

"He's back, isn't he? Seirin's shadow, The phantom sixth man" Hyuga smiled. As he looked at a certain bluenette.

Kuroko looked at his hands. He couldn't believe what he had just fone
