SailorStar9: Anyway, Chapter 18 goes up. This is Chapter 19. To all my non-reviewing readers, I love you all! Will love you more if you review! *hugs all round!*
Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and the pairing.
Chapter 19: I Surpassed You Long Ago
"Seirin's dropped their pace." Kise remarked, the game restarting after Kuroko was put back in.
"If they attack carelessly right after bringing in their trump card, they'll completely lose control of the flow of the game." Momoi stated.
"He caught it!" Kise gaped, Kuroko catching the ball Kiyoshi threw at him after switching marks to Midorima. "Kurokocchi…" he muttered, shocked to see Kuroko bypass Midorima using his new move.
"Tetsu perfected his drive." Momoi realized.
"It's the final quarter." Kise noted, the buzzer going off and the players re-entering the court.
"Listen to them cheer." Momoi breathed, hearing the deafening the cheers of the spectators as the game came down to a point war.
The players on the inside are having the most fun, though. Kise mused. They're absolutely focused and experiencing a high, like… "I feel like playing basketball!" he whined, much to Ami's amusement.
"Two seconds left." Momoi glanced at the timer after the referee paused the game and awarding Kiyoshi two free throws after Midorima fouled.
"The game comes down to two free throws." Kise added. "The fateful shot…" he muttered, Kiyoshi scoring a basket.
"He's going to miss this one." Ami predicted, seeing Kiyoshi's obvious wince when he felt his knees acting up.
True to be told, Kiyoshi did miss the shot, with Kagami snatching the rebound from Shutoku's hands and going for the lay-up with Midorima defending him.
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
