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 Four

Munching on the sweet popcorn, Atsushi Murasakibara looked down upon the court with hooded eyes. The game had begun moments ago, and he has yet to see why Aka-chin had wanted him here. Yes, the girls were playing better than he had expected – better than he believed, seeing as he's never actually saw a girls' basketball game. But it wasn't anything worthwhile to him.

Well that wasn't exactly true.

'The snacks are tasty…' he grabbed another fist-full of popcorn from the large plastic bag he brought along with him from the concession stands that some students set up. Sitting beside him was Tatsuya Himuro, who was watching the girls were battling it out on the court with rapt attention.

Which isn't something he found out of character for the other boy; after all, Himuro loved basketball more than anything. Especially compared to Atsushi, seeing as even now the purple-haired giant wasn't sure about whether he still played basketball because he is talented or because he actually didn't hate it as much as he believed.

'I wonder if Aka-chin, Kuro-chin and the others have made it yet.' Tossing another handful of popcorn in his mouth, his eyes happened to land on one of the girls on the court. Not that anyone could blame him, her fiery-red hair was pretty much like a sign designed to catch your attention. It was after a few minutes that he noticed she was wearing the Rakuzan's jersey.

"Wow! I don't think I've ever seen a girl as tall as her before…" Murasakibara turned his gaze over towards his friend, just in time for the other to glance over at him with his one visible eye.

"Hmm, here's I was thinking you were the only one who is that size."

For the first time in a while, that Yōsen's center wanted to crush his teammate.

Kagome could admit that her blood was pumping a bit just watching the game, much to her surprise since she had never really given much care for the sport before. But she could say that she found herself wanting to actually get out there on the court more and more as time passed by and the clock continued to count down to the end of the Second Quarter.

Her blue eyes took in every move that was on the court, every dribble, every fake-out, every lay-up, three-pointer, etc. With every sight, her brain was busy cataloguing them all and trying to decide on how she would go about those things to fit her so she could use them herself.

This was something that she had felt for a very long time, since her adventures in the Feudal Era: Excitement.

The sound of sneakers squeaking against the hardwood floor, the sound of the basketball bouncing with each dribble, the sound of the crowd and the clock counting down enveloped her. While it wasn't exactly like the sounds that she heard while fighting with Inuyasha and the others against their enemies. It was just the same in some ways.

Her schoolmates were playing with all they had to win, as if their lives depended on it.

'Though knowing how Suzumiya is, I wouldn't be surprised if that's truer than others would think…' she mused, thinking of the rumors of the tor – training that she put the team thought. Despite only being under her guidance for a few hours, Kagome couldn't imagine what the other would do if she was an actual member of the team. Shivering, she almost jumped when the buzzer signified the end of the second quarter.

Kagome looked up at the scoreboard.

Seirin: 27

Rakuzan: 30

Half-time set in, and the players come off the court on both sides and made their ways to their designated locker rooms. Kagome stood up from the bench and as Yukiko stepped toward her.

"Taichou, good work out there…" Grabbing the fresh towel next to her, Kagome handed it to the other girl with a nod as she fell in step with her.

Smiling, the brown-eyed girl nodded back in return.

"Yes, though I'm happy to know that there's another team that could push us to work this hard…it's a good thing since we've been disappointed up until tonight since our other opponents had underestimated us before we crushed them."

Dabbing her neck with the towel, she tossed it around her shoulders while the music played from the speakers. The closer they got to the locker room, the sounds of the gym lowered down to a hum behind them. Pushing open the door to the locker room, Kagome saw the other girls sitting down, drinking from their bottles of water or dabbing away at their sweaty faces and necks with towels.

Moving over to the side, she leaned against the locker and glanced towards Yukiko, who placed her hands on her hips and grinned.

"Well guys, we've finally found a team that we can proudly call our rivals, but game time is over."

Turning her gaze towards Kagome, her grinned became a bit more mischievous.

"When we go out there, I am going to put Higurashi on the court."

A/N: So had no idea that the Kuroko no Basuke manga had ended until someone had said it. XD I guess I just have a good sense of timing eh? Anyway, I appreciate all the support you've all given me so far. As for the issue of Pairings; at the moment I have no idea who I want Kagome to end up with, if you have any thoughts then share them with me. Ultimately, the last pairing just depends on Kagome seems more compatible with as the story goes along. But romance isn't the complete focus, at least not until this introductory arc of the story. Even then it is only half the focus.

Also, apparently I've messed up on how the characters refer to each other. My bad (lol), I went back and made corrections to the best of my ability.

Anyway, I hope you guys will continue to stick around regardless…though the GoM x Kagome pairing suggestion was very tempting. Though since I've never written a harem before, I would probably only develop it slowly – probably too slow for some of you (lol).

Well this chapter was short, but that's because I plan on having the next chapter be at least 2,000+ words. So look forward to that, after all, Aomine and the others will see a sight like they've never seen before…at least to my knowledge anyway.
