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 Five

Adjusting the bands on her wrists, Kagome looked at the opposing team with bright blue eyes. This would be her first time actually playing against an opposing team, seeing as she's never actually played against others since Yukiko didn't have enough time to set up a mock game.

Yukiko had sat down with her and discussed what she had wanted Kagome to do. Of course as soon as the other had laid it out for her, Kagome questioned her temporary captain's sanity. But despite this, the shrine maiden couldn't help but feel excitement once again blaze through her body. It has been such a long time since she's had "comrades" and was facing an "enemy".

'Yes, I haven't played against others but from what I've seen I will just have to put everything I've got into this and hope for the best…' Kagome huffed causing her fringe to fly away from her face.

One girl in particular, standing in front of her on the opposite side of the court had smirked at her. Mud brown eyes trailed down from the top of Kagome's head to her sneaker-covered feet, obviously trying to bring the miko's attention to the height difference between the two of them.

But instead of causing her to become nervous, Kagome only rolled her eyes.

The fact that she was one of the shortest players on court hadn't escaped her, but small things like that meant nothing to her. She had faced demons that were as tall as a department store and lived. While this girl was definitely taller than her...there was a distinct lack of the possibility of her being a danger to her life. So Kagome couldn't actually form any kind of care for the other girl's supposed threat to her person.

Settling down into her ready position, as Yukiko had showed her, Kagome waited with anticipation for the starting buzzer to sound.

BUZZZZZZZZ

Her body was buzzing with energy as the game kicked off.

"Higurashi!"

Electrified blue eyes darted over towards her captain, who held the ball. The dark-haired captain smirked as she then outmaneuvered the girl trying to block her.

"Catch!"

As those words flew from the older girl's lips, Kagome's eyes were locked on the ball that was making its way over to her. In that moment, nothing else mattered but that ball.

Catching the ball in her hands, she looked over at the girls, who were rushing towards her. Her eyelids became hooded as she slid into the battle persona, which had developed through her journey into the past. The light in the room seemed to cause her eyes to glow, and as if in slow motion, Kagome began to dribble the ball side to side.

Every motion she made, a small almost unnoticeable trial of blue light followed behind her.

With no effort, she slid through the girls' guards and made her way to the basket where other girls were. Dribbling the ball with each step, Kagome wondered what exactly she should do. She had never actually scored any real baskets, and there was no one around to pass the ball too.

It was through the haze the captain's voice filtered in through everything.

"It's time to bust out of that cage Higurashi, and show these guys just what Rakuzan is made of!" Yukiko shouted out, as she blocked the other team's captain.

With that said, something inside of Kagome had opened.

The world around her suddenly righted itself as she jumped up, and used the shoulder of one of the girl's in front of her. Suddenly she was in the air with the ball, getting closer and closer to the basket. Lifting the ball above her in the air, she gave an impressive battle cry as she slammed the ball down through the hoop.

Complete and utter silence fell onto the court as Kagome continued to swing from the hoop and the ball bounced on the court floor until it came to a stop at the feet of the girls looking up at her with gaping mouths.

In the crowd, several of the audience members, more specifically from various basketball teams all tensed at what had happened before their very eyes.

The team from Rakuzan in particular were shocked; Akashi especially.

"She went into The Zone."

As if they were broken out of a daze, the entire gym was then consumed by chaos.

Okay so apparently, I'm a lying liar who lies. XD This was obviously not 2,000+ words. Well I wanted to update something since everyone seems to be really enjoying this story above the others.
