[ Third Person's P.O.V ]

"Hah?"

"A training sports camp?"

"Great! More basketball players to crush!"

"Kagami-kun, she said it's three types of sports club so we wouldn't play against anyone but train on our own"

"Well, he's got the point"

"Ahem...."

Most of the boys flinch when they realized they were trailing off with their coach, Riko getting irritated when they didn't continue to listen to her announcement.

"As I was saying, our training starts next week so let's all be early on that day and please, get enough sleep and behave!"

He strictly announce with both hands on her hips. Clearly showing that she's serious about this. "Ano...if you don't mind, how were we picked?"

Teppei asked. Raising his hand asking a question. Riko thought about it for a moment. "Well, all I know was that. Their basketball coach saw how our matches with the members of the Generation of Miracles. He was amazed that we manage to defeat most them and he wanted to train you boys to see your potential"

"We still have one more member to defeat though..."

"Akaashi-kun.."

Kuroko thought. She explained while tapping her finger on her chin. Also uncertain but she said it anyways. "And with that being said..." she smiled and clapped her hand. "Let's continue to training hard as usual alright? No complains! We gotta impress the professional coach!"

"Hai....."

The boys went back to training as usual, dropping sweats and heavy breathing. Until it was time for them to head back home. Everyone head onto their separate ways. Only left with the shadow and the light, Kuroko and Kagami.

They stumble into a basketball court and decide to train a little extra. "Ne, Kagami-kun" Kuroko spin the basketball on the tip of his index finger. Letting it spin twice.

"Hmn?"

"What did you think of my new drive?"

"The vanishing drive?"

Kuroko nodded his head. Kagami thought for moment before answering.

"Not bad, if only you don't keep losing the ball. Thought you perfected it for real"

"That my bad, but I'll do my best"

Kuroko hold the ball with both hands and looks up at Kagami. "I'll keep practicing until I perfect my drive and with that, I'm gonna need your help Kagami-kun"

"Well alright but be sure to not lose the ball this time"

"I'll make sure of it"

Kuroko let the ball off his bare hands and trible it. Smacking the ball whenever it goes right back up to the surface of his palm. Gaining the momentum, he head towards Kagami who is on guard. Slowly he gets closer, Kagami crouching even lower and prepares to stop Kuroko from passing and steals the ball to score a dunk.

Then with a blink of an eye. Kagami immediately lose sight of Kuroko as he felt a wind brush by Kuroko to his left. He reacted to it but when he turn to his left, Kuroko wasn't there only to see from the corner of his eye. Kuroko was on his right as he successfully trible pass the ball around Kagami.

Seeing this made Kagami smile as he turn around to face Kuroko who stopped tribbling and take a look at his hands. "Ah, I didn't lose the ball this time"
