The One (Kuroko No Basket Fanfic)

Its Seirin Or Its Yosen

It was the day or the league of six for the winter cup championship. Which meant the game between Seirin and Yosen was underway. This time we weren't going to faultier because this was the game that will tie us into the final four, we were not going to let them beat us easily. I stand in the boys locker room with them as i check my clip board for the first play. The boys wear their Yosen track suits with their shorts under the pants. I stand there: skirt, button shirt, sweater, black tie, knee high socks and tiny black converse shoes. My mind going in two different directions, if this game is going to work out. Will Yosen truly win against Seirin? Can my coaching truly overcome and be on top with all my mind sets of being alone, afraid, scared.

This isn't the time Aria. This isn't the time to faulter about who you are and what you can do. This is about your boys. Your boys. Got it? It's about your boys of the Yosen basketball team. They will play their hardest for your school, for you!

My mind stops in its tracks when Kenichi walks up to me. He places his large hand on my head and i finally feel the tears that i didn't know were falling down my face. I look up at him, no him is not the word to use. The word is them. I look up to them, all the boys, standing over near me. They see me crying, they see the tears coming from my eyes, but in their eyes, i don't see pity, i don't see worthlessness, i see strength and fire. And they are looking at me this way. Kenichi, Lui, Fuiki, Himuro and Murasakibara. They are lit with fire and excitment, and i'm crying because i doubt these boys and their strength. No, i don't doubt them, i never doubted them, i doubted myself. I've always doubted myself, for beiing small, for being weak, for being afraid of this world and of being left alone in this dark world.

"There is no need to cry if we haven't lost the game yet." Kenichi says. The tears still flow down my face as Kenichi's voice resonates from his mouth and into my mind. He lifts his other hand up from his side and wipes away the tears. "We are going to make you proud coach, we promise."

I smile up at them, my boys who are special to me and have brought my life back into the light. From all the pain i've felt, all the fear, the doubt, the hatred. They gave me the light, they gave me this happiness, and i shouldn't be crying over something that hasn't happened yet. The tears are finally gone.

"I know. We haven't lost yet. But we haven't won either. So boys?" I say finally, loud and proud.

"What is it coach?" They say in unison.

"Let's go out there and beat Seirin highscool!" I scream at the top of my lungs and that's when Kenichi's hand finally falls from my head. That's when i finally get empowered with strength, fire and excitment just like them.

**Basketball Court**

We stand there, crowd filling our ears with cheers as my boys stand on the basketball court. Kenichi in front of Hyuga, Fuiki in front of Kuroko, Lui in front of Iduki, Himuro in front of Kagami, and Murasakibara in front of Teppei. Teppei and Mukkun are both tall, but Mukkun towers over him still by his height. I stand there with the bench warmer players and breathe calmly. The referee stadns in the middle and tells them to bow. They bow, and take their positions, Himuro in the middle with Kagami and Murasakibara under the hoop for our defense tactics. Its how Yosen works, the ability that Mukkun posses is perfect defense and that's what Yosen is about. They won't score against us from the inside easily, the outside is where we faulter, but with Himuro that's what comes in handy.

Then the tip off, which means the game has started. We get the ball first, Himuro passing it to Kenichi, our aufense working well up agaisnt Seirin but Kagami is fast. He pushes the ball and then Kuroko gets it, passing it to Teppei, he is quick too. I didn't see him shoot, but he didn't get it in, Murasakibara smacks it away from the hoop with force and speed. It shocks Seirin, but they still continue too fight.
