Chapter 4
Yuki's POV
The hell is this idiot thinking? He brought us to a basketball court? In the middle of the night? There are probably a hundred predators and druggie's creeping around. A shiver crawled its way up my spine.
"I challenge you to a game!" Kagami announced pointing his finger (again) in Kuroko's face.
"Okay, I wanted to see your skills for myself." Kuroko said with a shrug and a straight face.
Whelp, he sure hasn't changed much. This is going to be a disaster. I sighed and rubbed my face with my hand. It panged my chest to see my favorite sport but not participate in playing. It hurt me so much when the thing that I loved screwed me over. I sat down knowing that this would be interesting. Not because of the actual one-v-one game, but because Kagami's reaction was going to be comical when he figures out that Kuroko is kind of a crappy player by himself.
Snort.
Crappy is putting it nicely. I was partially in the shadows and I was soon forgotten about by both Kagami and Kuroko as this fight of "basketball dominance" occurred. This one-v-one situation occurred aften during my Teiko days with my own team and with the boys' team. It was a formal way of seeing who was the strongest and the weakest on the team. It was like two lions trying to figure out who was more powerful.
This happened way too often between Daiki and Ryota. No, another voice in my head said, you mean Aomine and Kise. I sighed again as I watched Kagami cream Kuroko. Feeling sad, I stood up and walked away from the court, away from the sound of the ball bouncing rhythmically against the ground, away from my passion. I'm not sure I can handle this. The pain is too much. I looked back once more before disappearing in the night like a ghost.
3rd POV
Kagami stopped the game. It was obvious that Kuroko lost. Kagami slapped the ball out of Kuroko's hand and took it for himself.
"The game is over. Not that I would call what we just played a game. That's what I hate about weak guys like you. Quit basketball before you bring shame upon yourself. You'll never be good." Kagami said. "Yu-chan, come out here and play me too. I want to know if the 'Fab Five' is just as crappy as the Generation of Brats." He shouted toward the dark.
"She left, Kagami-kun." Kuroko said quietly.
"Eh? Seriously? What a wimp." Kagami scoffed.
"I won't quit. I love basketball and it's that love that makes me try really hard to be where I am. And I know Yu-chan used to love basketball as much as I did, if not more. So you can't and you don't have the right to tell us what to do in regards to basketball." Kuroko said firmly.
"Good luck with that," Kagami said with an asinine tone. "Again, here's my advice: Quit basketball, it'll just make you look stupid if you play. Maybe I'll see you around." Kagami walked away from Kuroko and picked up his bag that was near the base of the hoop. If Kagami had looked back he would have seen a brief flash of annoyance in Kuroko's eyes before it was replaced with his usual stoic expression.
Sorry for making Kagami seem like an a$$. I love his character, I truly do! Also please let me know who you guys would like to see Yuki paired up with. I know it's still pretty early in the story but, it would be nice to get some opinions.
