"Talking"

'Thoughts'

'Flashbacks'

Hello everyone! Here's the first real game I've written, so it might not be the best but I hope you all enjoy!

Important: I've went back to the first chapter and added a small description to both Naruto and Kuroko. I reread them and realized I totally didn't describe them. If you want to go back and read it, it's up to you. And thanks to Tru3Ph03niX I've gone ahead and put italics for all the flashbacks in the first few chapters.

I don't own Kuroko no Basuke or Naruto

The first thing Kuroko thought when she woke up was that didn't remember her alarm clock being that annoying. The second thing she thought was the her bed was way colder than usual. When she opened her eyes she realized that this was not her room, she had a light blue ceiling, not a dark blue.

"Wha?" She mumbled, still waking up.

Wiping her eyes and looking over at the clock she quickly turned and of and read it: 5:30.

Why was her alarm set so early? She remembered playing with Naruto-kun, then nothing? Did she pass out?

She tried to get out. Everything hurt so much, so had never been so sore in her life. She didn't know if she was going to be able to even walk. When she stood up, she wobbled slightly and fell back on the bed, it hurt too much. She was just going to lay her.

She noticed her clothes were hanging on the front of the bed, looking down, she noticed she was only in her panties and bra. She reached over, wincing, and put on her white and red shorts.

As she went to grab her shirt, she heard a knock on her door, then a fully dressed Naruto came through, he looked tired.

"Oh, good morning Kuroko-chan, don't get dressed anymore than that, come on follow me."

"What? Don't get dressed?"

He was already leaving, not hearing her. She blushed and fiddled with her hands. 'I guess I follow?' Still confused, she wobbled after him, she took the first few steps before she fell on her knee, her legs giving out. A loud thump rippled through room.

Naruto came rushing in. "Oh, shit! I didn't realize how sore you were." He picked her up and then grabbed her shirt.

Her faced turned into a tomato. "Naruto-kun, what are you doing?" She dug her head into his chest, her arms around his neck, incredibly embarrassed. He started to walk out of the room.

He felt her light blue hair tickle his arms, "Maa, you're so cute when you embarrassed."

Steam poured out of her eyes, 'cute?'

"Don't worry, once we start, you'll feel great."

'This is a dream, this is a dream.'

Naruto didn't say anything for a bit, and she calmed down, her face still flush from the close contact with Naruto. Even as he carried her, she still felt exhausted.

"Naru-kun, where are we going?" She sleepily asked.

He smirked, he wasn't expecting her to be so adorable when she woke up, "We're almost there, you'll see."

He lead her through a series of doors that never ended. There were so many doors! Finally, she pulled her head from his chest and she looked around, she let out a small gasp. This wasn't a house! This looked like a mansion. Did Naruto really live her?

As if reading her mind, he spoke, "This is were my parents stayed while they were here. They bought the house but died before they could really move in." He smiled sadly, "I really wish I could have meet them, I've watch so many of their games but..." He trailed of lost in thought. "Sorry, anyway, we're here."

They finally arrived, she looked through the door and saw another bed.

He placed her on the bed, 'Wait, is that?'

"Lay on your stomach."

Still confused and tired, Kuroko couldn't help but follow his instructions and put her head in the convenient hole by the top. He pulled out a bottle of oil and poured in on his hands.

"Naruto-kun, what are you-" his hands started to massage her shoulders, "oh, oh, that feels good."

She felt his arms start to massage her back. He started with her shoulders and traveled down to each individual arm. She felt like putty to his hands and the soreness melted away. He moved down to the base of her back. She let out another moan. She felt her muscles relax.

"You can go back to sleep if you like, I don't know what time you usually wake up. I'll wake you up once I'm done."

She sighed as he hit a particularly tense spots. Why was he doing this, not that she minded, oh, this felt so good. "Naruto-kun, why?"

His arms traveled down to her legs and he grinned as she let out a sigh of relief, "Why what?"

Do I get one of theses every day? "You know, this."

"This massage will help with the soreness. I let you stay in The Zone for too long. You still have a game to play in today and school for that matter. Turn over."

She did, feeling to great to even think about that request. He started from her foot and once he made it to her thighs he switched to her arms. He started to speak.

"I learned at Konoha High, they helped me learn how to do this. They can afford to buy people to massage their players everyday. Jiriaya insisted that I also learn how to do this since it can really help key players if they are too sore the next day."

He blew air out of his mouth, amused. "I was really bad at the start and I think I ended up making some of the players worse off, but I did get better at the end of the first year. So I thought I'd let you have one, since I don't know where you live. Besides, these really help with soreness and will help you feel much better later in the day. You'll easily be able to get back to playing after a good warm-up."

His hands made their way up to her neck. His eye twitched.

"Once I start to do this for some of the players, they made me massage them on the bus on the way home. It was ridiculous."

He made his way down to her stomach. She felt the heat rise to her cheeks and she let out another sigh.

"It's much more fun to give massages willingly and when you have time to do full body ones."

His hands move further up, making their way dangerously close to her breast, her face lit up. It felt to good for her to really care about and she felt her self slowly drift off. She tried to say something but Naruto seemed to be in a zone and continued to talked.

"You should probably get back to sleep or you'll end up sleeping all day. I'm sure we have a scrimmage today and I want you to be at your fullest. When do you plan on showing off some of your skills?"

He looked over at her, expecting an answer only to find a sleeping Kuroko. He smiled.

"Good night, Kuroko-chan."

Kuroko had the cutest snore. He chuckled. 'Poor Kuroko-chan, she was so tired, she slept in every class.'

They were on the bus to Kaijo and she was resting on his shoulder, blowing her hair away from her face with every snore.

He briefly thought back to their training sessions. Maybe, he pushed her a bit too much. Five minutes in The Zone is a long time for how low her stamina is. He would have to work on that.

He was a bit peeved though. Besides from Aomine-kun, did no one else train Kuroko at Teiko? Wasn't Akashi suppose to improve her skills? It seemed like all he did was work on her Misdirection. While it's not noticeable because of how well she hides her presence, her potential was great.

She wouldn't be a center or a forward but she could be a great guard. She was quick on her feet and she was exceptionally nimble because of her body structure. Her shots were better than he remembered but her threes need some work. She could go into The Zone, that was a great. She was a bit on the short side, so some of her shots would be blocked but, her Misdirection will allow her to get open and once she learns some plays. He had high hopes.

Hmm, he could work on her jumping skills. It would help with shots and the look on the other team's face if she could dunk the ball would be awesome.

He sighed, 'What do I do with Akashi-kun?'

His thoughts were interrupted, when the bus arrived to Kaijo. He gently nudged Kuroko's shoulder.

"Kuroko-chan, we're here."

"No." She briefly glanced up to him, then fell back to sleep

Naruto stared, impressive. Deciding she wasn't going to budge on this, he murmured to her, "Come on, let's get you off the bus, I'll carry you to the gym."

She whined before she mumbled, "Fine." She mostly leaned on Naruto as they left the bus. Once they got off Naruto knelt down and Kuroko climbed onto his back. She wrapped her arms around his shoulder and she fell back asleep instantly.

The group started to walk into Kaijo High. Aida finally noticed Kuroko as she went through her checklist of everyone.

"Naruto-kun, why is Kuroko-chan so tired?" A pissed off Aida asked.

"Don't worry about it, I'll tell you later," Naruto replied, serious for once.

That didn't make Aida any happier but she understood his tone and she asked, "Will she be able to play today?"

"Yeah she will, she'll just need to warm up."

Aida sighed in relief. She didn't think they could win without Kuroko's Misdirection.

Naruto look over to Kagami and noticed something. "Kagami-kun, are," he paused, "are you okay?" Naruto's brows creased, Kagami's eyes were bloodshot. He looked crazy.

"Hahaha, yeah, I was so excited, I couldn't sleep."

Kuroko lazily opened her eyes and asked, "What are you, a child on a field trip?" And then fell back asleep, or maybe she just closed her eyes, he couldn't tell.

Kagami's eye twitched, she woke up to say that?

"Hey guys!" Kise yelled in the distance, running up towards them. "I thought I'd come get you since this place is so big."

"Kise," Kagami muttered intent on tell him something.

Only for him to walk right past him, "Where's Kurokocchi?" His eyes roamed over the group and then landed on Naruto, with Kuroko on his back.

"Wah! What did you do to Kurokocchi. She turned me down, only to go with you? Did you take her virginity?" Kise started to bawl. "Akashicchi he'll kill me and then I'll know Kurokocchi didn't love me. That's the worst way to go."

"Well, she does love me more than you."

His face suddenly twisted into a frown, a reply on the tip of his tongue. Akashi's words come back to him, 'Don't piss him off.'

If Akashi-kun said it, he would believe it. He decided he would instead beat his team. He faced Kagami.

"I also don't know why Kurokocchi is interested in you," he menacingly walked by, "but if you're going to challenge me, who am I to say no?" He turned and started to walk away. Kagami stared, annoyed, but they couldn't do anything else but follow.

Once they arrived Kise took off to get into his uniform. Takeuchi, Kaijo's coach, turned his attention towards the team.

"Oh, you're here. As you can see, it's not worth our time to stop practice to watch this beating, so we're are only playing on this side of the court." He walked away and headed towards Kise, who was dressing up for the game. The entire team felt insulted. Aida while external was displeased, was internally pleased. 'Oh, I can't wait to see your face once Kagami kicks their ass.'

"What do you think you're doing? You are not playing today, it's not worth it."

Takeuchi walked away telling instructions to the rest of his players, ignoring the looks of Seirin's members.

Kise was somewhat sad before a evil grin reached his face, he turned his attention to Seirin and approached them, "Sorry, sorry! I won't be playing, unless you do something to change my coachs mind. If you can't do that, you're not worth it."

He headed towards his team, the challenge hanging in the air.

The coach turned to him, "Hey, go show Seirin to the locker room." Kise turned disappoint, he wanted to warm up, only to look an see Seirin heading towards the locker room.

As the walked away, Kuroko, still on Naruto's back, glared at him and said, "It's fine, please warm up, we don't have time to waste."

"Huh?"

Kise saw the glint in Kuroko's eyes and nodded, excited for the game.

"Let the practice game between Seirin High and Kaijo High, begin!" The referee announced.

"Umm, Seirin High, where is your fifth player, we would like to start."

"Ano, there are five of us."

Most of the gym yelled at the same time, "What!"

"She was right in front of me and I didn't even notice her! Did you notice her Kasamatsu?" One of the players asked.

"I didn't. And besides, what are they doing letting a little girl play, Seirin High is a joke."

Off to the side, their coach said, "This is ridiculous, they boasted so much but they don't have a decent player."

"We'll see," Kise said, with a huge grin on his face. The coach turned to him, confused. "You may be right. They're not just decent and Kasamatsu-sempai pissed off Kurokocchi."

On the other side of the court, Aida quickly check over the stats of the players, slightly worried. Their stats were much better than her own.

As if reading her thoughts, a hand went on top of her head, "Don't worry coach, they got this."

"Naruto-kun..."

"Wha-"

"Don't touch my head."

Naruto, suddenly on the floor, smoking rising from him, he realized that, that might of been a bad idea.

While that was happening, the whistle blow and the ball was tossed into the air. The ball was quickly acquired by Kasamatsu and he took in to Seirin's side, intent on scoring. He dribbled only to find that the ball was out of his hands and on the way down to the other side of the court.

Shocked he saw the girl taking the ball down the court and he took off. He wouldn't let her make a fool of him. Once he got next to her, he intended on stealing it back, only for her to pass it to Kagami. He got the ball and quickly slammed the ball into the next, destroying the hoop.

Kasamatsu stood there shocked, that shouldn't be possible!

He turned to face the girl, only to see that she wasn't there. He tried to find her and when he did, she looked to him and sarcastically said, "Little girl, huh?"

He was surprised he didn't die on the spot from that glare.

Kagami and Kuroko went towards Kaijo's coach, "Sorry, we broke the hoop, can we use the whole court instead?"

It was easy to tell that the coach wasn't happy.

It didn't help that one player from the other team was laughing obnoxiously, how dare the blonde laugh at him!

He turned to Kise, "Get ready, you're going in."

In his rage, he didn't notice Kise's smirk.

The nets were put down and Kise stood on the court, waving to his fans. Then he found himself on the ground face first.

"Kasamatsu-sempai, you already hit me today," Kise whined.

"Who is number ten?"

"Number ten," he saw Kagami's number, "Oh, that's Kagami, don't worry about it, I got it." He quickly switch to another player, "Did you see number eleven? That's my old teammate from Teiko, Kurokocchi, wasn't she amazing." He started to tear up, "But that number thirteen corrupted her."

"Why are you so happy?"

He was suddenly punched in the gut, "Kasamat-"

"What ever, it doesn't matter, all I know is they gave us quite the greeting and we should return it, and who's number thirteen, he's not even in the game."

Kise pointed to the bench and Kasamatsu's eyes landed on Naruto. 'Who is he, he looks vaguely familiar?'

"Kasamatsu-sempai?"

"Don't worry about it, lets just win."

With that the game recommenced and return the favor they did. The girls cheered as Kise scored an amazing slam dunk. He got up only to be throw back down my Kasamatsu. "You baka! I told you to break it!"

"Sorry!" Kise cried. 'Why do I always get hit?'

Kagami stood there and stared, he instinctively knew that Kise was stronger but didn't care. He smiled. Even as Kise taunted him, as he passed and he couldn't help but yell, "Bring it on!"

What came after was some of the most intensive play Aida had ever seen in the first five minutes of a game. Seeing that this was a dangerous pace she called a time out, hoping to slow down the game.

Only to end up choking Kuroko when Naruto told her that her skill, Misdirection, wouldn't last the whole game.

"You couldn't tell me that your skill wouldn't last the whole game, Naruto-kun had to tell me!" She obviously wasn't happy.

"Maa, Aida-chan," he reached he hand out to her head, "don't be so mean to Kuroko-chan."

Then Naruto found himself tasting the court. "Aida-chan..."

"Coach your being scary."

"What was that Hyuga-kun."

"Nothing!"

A whistle blow out.

"Wahh! All I did was hit Naruto-kun, this is your fault!"

This was the third time Naruto tasted the court that day.

All Naruto heard was some muffling between two people, he spoke up, "Maa, coach, I think I hit the ground too hard."

Then his world faded into blackness.

While Aida helped Naruto to the makeshift bed they made, Kuroko and the rest of team returned to the court.

Aida looked over at the score, 22 to 25, they were not doing so bad and Kise was playing! They were standing up to a 'Miracle' player! But she was nervous. Kuroko's main skill wasn't going to last forever. She glanced over at Naruto, while the referee handed the play to a player to pass it in, I'm curios to see if he'll ever play.

She suspected that Naruto and Kuroko new each other, especially after this morning. They were too close, they looked very comfortable on the bus ride here, you don't do that with somebody you just met! And she still didn't know why Kuroko looked so tired today. It must be Naruto's doing. 'What if?' A blush hit her face. She quickly shook her head.

'I'll come talk to him after this game. He did say he would answer. Maybe I can even find so more information on him.'

She looked back as Kise stomp Kagami's slam dunk.

Dammit! What could she do?

The first quarter ended, 27-33, Kaijo's lead.

Kuroko was the first to speak up, "Let me guard Kise. He'll underestimate me and I can sneak the ball from him, it might be a one time thing, but it's what we need."

Aida nodded her head, "We'll save that once your Misdirection runs in course, which is probably at the end of this quarter. They've already blocked you once, we can't afford another ball to change possession."

Kuroko nodded. Aida turned towards Kagami, "You need to pass the ball."

"What! I pass the ball!" Kagami frowned as he yelled.

"No! Every time you drive trying to get past Kise, face it, you're not good enough to beat him, but, if you pass with Kuroko, you can't sneak by him while he turns his attention away." Kagami felt insulted.

The team looked on, satsified. "Okay, that can work, it looks like you cooled down a bit, Kagami-kun. Play smart and calmly."

"What I play-" He got jabbed in the side. "Gah! What was the for?"

The team echo, in sync, "You were really pissed!"

Kagami's eye twitch, so what if his anger got the best of him sometimes?

Aida glanced at the duo, "Your coordination is key. Can you do it?"

"I guess, we can-" He got jabbed in the side, harder this time. "Gah! What was that for?"

She looked over, "Do you want to beat Kise-kun?"

She got a jab back, "Of course I do!"

'Ouch, that really hurt, does he not know his own strength.' She turned her head towards Naruto, where he was still laying down.

'Good, I'd rather him not kill Kagami-kun.'

"Let the second quarter begin!"

Seirin quickly closed the gap bringing from a ten point to lead to a five point lead, 34-39 Kaijo's lead.

The first thing Naruto heard was the audience saying, "She doesn't stand a chance!"

'Wah! My head, what hit me?'

He sat up and looked over. 'Well I'm still on the court. Oh, that's right, Aida-chan hit me, like three times.'

He got up, and wobbled slightly, why was the damn floor so hard?

"Hmm, she doesn't stand a chance? What does that even mean? Maa, my head."

He sighed, it feels like I just went through Jiraiya's training. He saw everyone on the bench staring intensely on the court. 'Was he missing something amazing?'

"Maa, Aida-chan, you've got a nasty hit."

He heard her gasp, and she turned around, a frightful look on her face

"Naruto-kun, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hit you so hard. That's never happened, everyone usually just jokes around, but I," she paused, obviously upset, "I actually hurt you!" She looked down, she was suppose to be the coach, yet she hurt one of her players, even if he was annoying, she shouldn't have done that.

She hearts some footsteps and a hand gently touched her head.

She looked up and saw a soft smile on Naruto's face. "It's okay, Aida-chan, I know you didn't mean it. Don't worry about it, we can worry about it after the game, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Naruto-kun."

She turned back to the game and watched as Kagami blocked Kise's three point shot. When the hand on her head started to move, she felt the slightest bit of heat rush to her cheeks.

'Is he rubbing my head?'

A gasp came from the audience.

She turned to face and scold him, but when she looked he wasn't there. She felt a gust of wind blow by her face. She followed it.

She gasped. What happened? Why was Naruto holding Kuroko? Oh, no!

"Kuroko-chan!"

When Kise felt his hand connect on something, at first, he was confused. He turned, followed it and gasped.

He just hit Kurokocchi! Oh, god! He didn't mean to do that. He just react to the fast break, when did she get so close! He tried to move forward, to catch her before she hit the ground, but before he even moved, someone else was there, holding her, gently.

Once he got a better look, a dire feeling fell over him as he remember Akashi's words, "Naruto is overprotective of Kuroko-chan."

Naruto's bangs covered his eyes, and when he looked up, Kise couldn't stop shaking. 'Akashi-kun didn't do a good enough job explaining how terrifying he is!' He wanted to ball up in a corner and cry, he didn't want to play basketball anymore today. He wanted to pretend today never existed.

The presence only lasted a second, Kuroko's hand reached up and touched Naruto's face, controlling the beast that was almost unleashed.

"Naruto-kun, no." She faintly said. The pain from the hit making her dizzy. She felt blood flow over her eye and closed it. "Don't do anything to… Kise-kun," her voice became even more faint, to the point to where only Naruto could hear it. "This is my game, play, but you can't be the one who wins this game." Her eyes closed.

'Dammit, she knows me too well.' He returned his gaze a Kise, who seemed ready to flee. 'I guess I can't be to mad at him, I know it was an accident. He looked so scared when he hit her. I'm glad she made someone who cares for her while I was away. But, I went to fast, Aida-chan will defiantly want me to see me play now. Hmm, how will I do this?'

He stood up, Kuroko in his arms. 'I'll let him think I'm pissed, just for a bit.'

"Kuroko-chan!" Aida quickly rushed over.

"Is she okay, can she play?"

"Sorry coach, seems like she won't be able to play. That blow know her unconscious." He set her down and started to put a bandage where Kise's finger marks were. He started to say something but Aida was staring off, an intense look on her face.

'What was she going to do now! She was banking on Kagami-kun and Kuroko-chan bring victory for them.' She looked over at Koganei and smiled. 'That's right, I still have my returners who can play, maybe it's not a lost cause.

Naruto stood back up, finished wrapping Kuroko's head. "Ahh, Aida-chan, are you okay? You zoned out for a bit."

She had the decency to be embarrassed. "I'm sorry Naruto-kun, what were you saying?"

"I said, let me play."

"But… You have hardly practiced with us! When we run, you keep up with Kuroko-chan! You've never even ran any of our plays! I don't even know what position you play."

The rest of the team approached. Aida continued to rant on.

"How would that be fair to the rest of the players, who try their hardest all the time."

Naruto sighed, that was fair, but he had no intention to play, until now.

"How about this, the next time we drive, give me the ball. If I can score on Kise-kun, you let stay in, if I don't you can take me out. No matter what happens, I'll show you my stats, without blocking them."

The Seirin team stared on, he thought he could beat Kise?

Kagami laughed, "Yeah right! Kise is really good, he's one of the strongest people I've faced! I don't know how you know Kuroko-chan, but just because your good friends with her, doesn't mean you can compete with her old teammates."

It looked like the rest of the team agreed. While Kagami was talking, Aida was thinking something a bit different. 'He was actively blocking his stats? Is that even possible? Her dad never mentioned anything like that before.'

Aida decided.

"Fine."

"Coach!"

"I'll take him out if he doesn't score on Kise." She turned her gaze back at Koganei, 'Dammit, I really wanted to see how well they would do, I'm sure they're not happy that the first years are playing so much.'

Naruto smirked and followed her gaze. It seems that she wanted to have her usual players play in absence of the Kagami-Kuroko combo.

"I'll take Kagami's spot and have Koganei play like you were planning. That's what you were planning right?" Naruto smirk at Kagami's enraged look. "Did you even research the school at all before you even came here? They have a good combo," Naruto said.

'But, they are still missing a key component.'

"But you'll be right back in anyways, so why does it matter?"

'Maybe I like pissing off Kagami too much, he's a lot like me when I'm playing seriously.'

Seirin took the court and drove down to Kaijo's side.

Hyuuga took it and saw that Naruto was open. 'This better work or I'll kill him.'

Naruto took the ball and turn to face Kise.

"You know, Kise-kun," Kise looked at him and felt a shiver pass through him. "I wasn't planning on playing for a long time. But," he started to drive to his left. "It seems that you forced my hand, I won't ever allow someone to get away with hurting Kuroko-chan." Kise was in front of him, halting his progress. He was scared of Naruto but still wanted to win.

The entire gym watched on with vast interest, who was this guy and why was he fighting Kise?

Naruto took a step back bringing himself back to the three point line, the shot clock was at twelve seconds and Kise was still hot on his tail. Time slowed down as the next words were passed between them.

"I can tell you care for her, I don't know why, but, she seems to care for you too. I really want to bury you, I can't do that to someone she cares for, instead," He drove to his left once more, "I'll just humiliate you."

Kise knew he was better than Kagami, maybe no one but him saw it, but, Naruto could of easily ran by him there. He was frighten and hesitated, but Naruto went slower and that allowed him to catch up. Kise was surprised just how easily Naruto brought the ball back to where he started, it's hard to stop a drive just like that.

Off to the side, Aida was pissed! "What is he thinking? He could of totally drove pasted him! Gah! He's so infuriating!"

She started to mumble to herself, "But, why did Kise look so scared when Naruto-kun came on the court and he froze when Naruto-kun started to drive by him. There's something I'm missing and it revolves around Naruto-kun. Maybe I can get some information from Kuroko-chan or I can ask him when he shows me his stats."

She watched as Naruto and Kise exchanged words. She couldn't hear them but she was reading Kise's facial expressions. His became suprise, then embarrassed and then his face had that frightful look in it again. How does he bring fear into Kise just like that?

She didn't understand but she did watch Naruto drive once more to the left.

'Is that all he does? He is keeping up with Kise though. That's pretty impre-' Her thoughts stopped as she looked on with disbelief in her eyes.

He drove to the left but disappeared to his right, driving to the hoop and dunking. That move! It was a move she hadn't seen in years! She remember seeing that move on TV. That was the Cross Flash! It was what made Minato Namikaze so famous. How does he know that?

The rest of the gym must be thinking the same thing, it was dead silent.

Naruto looked over to their bench. "That means I can stay on right?"

Nobody responded, and only Naruto started to head back to defend, chuckling to himself.

Nobody knew what to do. Each coach stared at him as he made his way back.

Finally the rest of the Seirin members made their way back. Staring at Naruto in a new light.

"Hey Hyuuga-kun, don't pass me the ball anymore."

Hyuuga turned to him, a questioning look on his face, "What! But, you could easily beat Kise!"

"Sorry, but I promised Kuroko-chan I wouldn't win the game for her. I'll make sure Kise can't score but it's up to you guys to keep the game alive. I know you can do it, you guys were good last year."

"Coach will be pissed." Hyuuga turned to face the Kaijo team, as they finally got over their shock. 'And I will be too, for that matter.'

"I don't care, it's not my game to win."

Hyuuga sighed, 'He isn't budging it seems. I guess it's up to us. At least we don't have to worry about Kise.'

As Kasamatsu took the ball down the court, he looked over at Kise.

He let out a small sigh, that really took away all the momentum away from Kise-kun had but he was still there best player and it would be good to see how well he fared against this new player Seirin had.

Kise grabbed the ball and started to dribble down mid court.

'Dammit, it's like facing Aominecchi, it's so intense! I love it! But, he's scarier and that's a move I can't copy. Dammit!'

He drove head on towards Naruto and planned to come back like Naruto did before. He stepped back and jumped. He started to shoot.

'He might be fast but I've got the height on him, by a large amount.'

He reached his highest point and the ball shot from his fingertips. His eyes widened as a shadow fell over him. How did Naruto jumped so high, he was going to block it. Naruto's fingers easily could of smacked the ball down but at the last second, before the ball hit his hands, he moved to the side and let the ball go through.

'What! He could of blocked that! Why did he let that through?'

The ball went through the net with a swoosh!

Hyuuga looked at Naruto and spoke in a dangerous tone. His shadow fell over Naruto.

"I thought you were going to stop him."

'Wow, he's scary."

Naruto laughed nervously. "Don't worry, he knows that I let that one through, he won't want the ball again or I will stop him. Like I said, I don't want to win the game, so I let that one through. The rest is up to you."

Hyuuga started to dribble the ball down the court. "If you let him score again," his evil side showed, "I'll kill you."

"Ahh, don't worry about it." God, what a scary person, he seemed so friendly beforehand.

Kuroko finally woke up towards the end up the finally quarter.

She heard Aida say, "I need Kuroko-chan to get back here, we have Naruto-kun playing but he's not doing anything! I don't understand, the game would be ours. We need to put Kuroko-chan and Kagmai-kun back in."

She got up, it was her fault she limited Naruto-kun, besides, she wanted to beat Kise-kun. She couldn't let her student beat her, even if he was better at her then almost everything in basketball.

She spoke up, "Very well, good morning, put me and Kagami-kun back it."

Aida turned towards the unexpected noise. "But you're still injured! I can't do that."

"You just asked for us to go back in, put us in, please. It's my fault, I told Naruto-kun not to win."

'She has a lot of control over him, it seems.' That's a bit unsettling. "Fine, I'll switch you out immediately if I think anything is wrong." She made her way to the scoreboard to sub her players in. They were down by six, hopefully Kuroko and Kagami could turn the tide.

The final minute approached after Kise turned up the pace, bringing Kaijo back ahead after Seirin tied it up.

"Kagami-kun, there's one thing I can do that nobody will expect. Once we get the ball we'll do the normal strategy," she smirked, "I'll be the one who wins this game."

Kagami looked aghast, 'What? What does that mean. I'll have to listen to her.' He scowled, 'It's not like I have much of a choice.

Kagami blocked Kaijo's final shot and it came to Hyuuga. He launched it down the court to where Kuroko and Kagami were sprining. Kagami started to dribble but had to pass the ball to Kuroko-chan once Kise stopped him.

Kise smirked and stepped in front of Kagami, making him stop in his tracks, he knew what they were planning.

Kagami's eyes widened, he knew their plan, he couldn't get past him for the alleyoop.

Kise outsmarted them, Kurokocchi couldn't shoot, so if he stopped Kagami, they wouldn't be able to score.

Kuroko smiled, 'Sorry, Kise-kun, Kagami-kun, but this time, I'll be the one who shines.'

The ball hit her hands, the clock ticking down to one second. She took her form and shot the ball. Both Kise and Kagami watched thinking the same thing, 'When did she learn how to shoot the ball?'

The buzzer went off as the ball went in, allowing Seirin to pull off a victory, 100-98, Kuroko scoring the final shot.

Naruto looked on as Kise's teammates cheered him back up. 'Good, that's what he needs, I went through the same thing and it's hard to come back realizing that you have a team that would be with you the whole time.' He saw Kasamatsu punch Kise, 'Even if they were a bit strange.'

He looked over at Kuroko, 'But, she started to reveal her abilities. It will only get harder from here on out. I'm happy though, that last shot, she glowed afterwords. This is what I want and even if she doesn't realize it, it's what she wants too.'

"Kise-kun?" What was he doing her.

"Do you have a minute to talk?"

She started to walk after him, Naruto looked out and followed after staying a safe distance behind.

They started to head towards a park bench.

Kise started, breaking the silence, "It's been a while since we talked like this. How's your injury?"

He sat down on top of the bench, "It's fine."

"I just saw Midorimacchi."

Kuroko's face turned a bit sour, "Honestly, we don't get alone and I don't like him too much."

Kise laughed, "Now that you mention it, you're right, but his left hand is no joke, especially on his good days."

"Yeah." She sighed

"He came to watch our game," he balanced the ball on his head. "Everything's going wrong, I didn't expect you to say yes, but I was serious. I really miss you."

"I'm sorry." Kuroko responded, somewhat sad, she liked Kise but she couldn't be with anymore.

"Anyway, I wanted to ask, why did you leave right after the middle school championship game? Oh and were did you learn to shoot?"

Naruto stepped out.

There we go. It's really hard to write a game but it was a lot of fun. I do have a quick question to ask, do you want my writing to continue the way it is, mainly focusing on the changes that occur or do you want me to write down how the full game would've went?

It's easier for me to only write the changes that I think will happen and I'll be able to update quicker. If not, updates may take a bit longer and some of the scenes will just be repeats of what already happened. I would only change small bits of the dialog, but that means more work for me and updates would take a bit longer.

For me, I prefer writing only the things that change, but I'd be willing to do the full thing.

long live Uzumaki clan: Thanks! Unfortunately, the reason why Kuroko might be angry at Naruto in the future is something I don't want to tell everyone. It didn't happen to much in this chapter but there will be some hints as to what is going to happen.

As always, thank you everyone for review and if you have any questions and have time leave a review!

'Till next time!
