Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha or Kuroko no Basuke, but it's obvious isn't it? I mean, I definitely wouldn't be writing fanfiction if I owned them right?

Summary: Kagome didn't expect to find out that she had a hidden talent for this basketball thing. Nor did she expect the amount of attention this said talent would garner her from basketball-obsessed guys!

Slam Dunk!

Chapter Two

After the seal placed upon her by Magatsuhi vanished, her spiritual powers hadn't been the only thing that had righted itself. When she had stepped back into the classroom after the well closed, it was as if a fog had lifted from her mind.

Things which had seemed so hard before were no longer a problem for her to do.

Math equations that once haunted her dreams were nothing that she couldn't work through with ease. Surprisingly this also carried over into other things as well.

This is why she was getting a handle on working with the ball under the watchful eye of Yukiko Suzumiya, the captain of the basketball team before their way to the bus taking them to their opponent's school. From the shocked gaping of the others around her, she suspected that they hadn't expected her to grasp the basics as quickly as she did.

Yukiko however only smirked with amusement clear for all to see in her brown eyes,

"As expected from Rakuzan's own Lady Jack of Trades!"

Dribbling the ball, Kagome got a feel for the ball and tried out a few of the moves she had seen while attending various games with the basketball team as a helper. Some were easy while others were a bit more difficult, but as she repeated them…it grew easier for her to do them. After jumping up from the ground and tossing the ball into the hoop with a swish, she turned to the maniacally grinning captain and her temporary teammates.

"While this is sudden, I hope that I won't trouble or get in your way." A loud guffaw from Yukiko was her only answer.

Lifting herself up from the bow, she was a bit stunned when an arm was suddenly thrown around her shoulders.

The short-haired girl gave her a thumbs up, "If you're as quick in the game as you are in picking up the basics then I'm sure you'll be fine, Higurashi."

Nodding, Kagome spun the basketball on her pointer finger.

One of the other girls named Ruriko Sawada rushed up to her with grin. In her hands, Kagome saw the Rakuzan Girls' Basketball team uniform that bore the school colors of white, light blue and with a little black as well. The girl came to a stop in front of her and it held it in both of her hands.

"Here you are Higurashi-Senpai!" Accepting the jersey with a nod and smile, she unfolded it to see the number 42 on the front and back.

"The Rakuzan Girls' Basketball team is going up against Seirin's Girls' team tonight?" Taiga Kagami stopped in his desolation of his Maji Burger to gape at his stoic teammate, who was silently sipping from his vanilla milkshake.

The two-toned redhead with strange eyebrows only twitched when his shadow sent him his usual deadpanned look while moving his mouth away from his straw. "I'm guessing that until now you didn't even know there was a Girls' Basketball team for Seirin, Kagami-kun?"

Kagami's lips twitched a bit, as he could feel slight embarrassment at his obvious lack of knowledge. Not that he truly felt that he could be blamed for that; the only club he cared for in when coming to Japan was the basketball team. Along with that, he hadn't really heard anyone mention it before today much less talk about it.

"Anyway, how did you find out about this Kuroko?" he questioned, slowly biting into his burger, though his red eyes still locked with the light blue-haired boy's gaze.

"Akashi-kun had texted me as well as the rest of the Generation of Miracles…apparently he has some interest in the game and ordered that we all attend the game." With that, he went back to sipping from his vanilla shake, ignoring the annoyed snarl.

"What!? You guys are still listening to him?" he slammed his hand on to the table, startling a couple who were walking near their table. With his attention completely on Kuroko, he missed the disapproving glances he received from others. But after receiving no answer, the larger boy just sighed.

"Ugh, what time is the game going to start?" Finishing the last of his shake just as Kagami started on his second to last burger, the blue-eyed boy slipped a hand into his uniform pocket to pull out his cellphone and looked at the time.

"In two hours." With that he slipped the phone back into his pocket, and Kagami grumbled.

"I guess we'll just invite the rest of the team then…show some support for our team against Rakuzan?" A small nod and smile were Kuroko's only answer.

Making his way out to the car waiting for him outside, Seijūrō Akashi looked down at the answering texts he received from not only his current teammates, but also the rest of the Generation of Miracles. He was sure that they all were curious about why he had called them out to watch a Girls' Basketball game, but he was sure they would show up and be surprised.

Before now the girls' team from Rakuzan had been a disgrace so to speak; filled with nothing but fan girls, who hoped to catch their crush's notice by wearing the uniform. Though that had all changed with the arrival of Yukiko Suzumiya, who arrived the previous year and torn down the old system and captain from their decaying throne. With her in charge, she has been slowly but surely getting her team ready to bring back prestige to Rakuzan.

The situation was a little like the Generation of Miracles' years in Teikō Junior High, and he was sure the others would also see it that way as well. Of course, that wasn't the only reason why he had interest in the happenings at tonight's game. Especially since one of their regulars wasn't able to play the game and so they were bringing a substitute player to replace them.

'Suzumiya-san was very adamant that there would be something I would want to see tonight, and seeing as she's been helping smooth things over since our loss at the Winter Cup…' the redhead resisted the urge to sigh at the memory of his loss to Tetsuya and Seirin, but shook his head.

Nodding towards his driver, he slipped into the back of the car and slipped his phone into his pocket. He had gotten word that this substitute was someone who the Girls' team's captain has had her eye on since she arrived on campus, but had held off until now to see if her intuition was right.

"I guess we'll see if you've found a diamond in the rough or a dud Suzumiya-san." He looked towards the front of the car where his driver glanced back at him in the rear-view mirror.

"Seirin High School." He ordered and the driver obeyed.

A/N: I am very much aware that no Girls' Basketball team existed (or at least mentioned of) in the actual canon, but I'm taking a creative license on this. I've seen plenty of stories where there is a Girls' team, and honestly I feel that there could be one, but it really isn't important to canon and so is never mentioned.
