The Jewel of Miracle -Kuroko no Basuke ff- (GoM + Kagami x Male!OC)

21 : The Start of Winter Cup!

The first time Kuroko perfected his drive, Amanogi was stunned beyond words. Kuroko completely passed him like an invisible man. It actually sounded silly, almost unbelievable at first, but Kuroko made it possible. The red haired man was 100% sure that no one could do the drive besides Kuroko himself.

With Kuroko's vanishing drive, the play changed instantly. Seirin was finally catching up with Shūtoku and tied the scores. Amanogi was relieved that the opponents--especially Takao hasn't realised the tricks behind the drive. Of course he knew, like Kuroko's others skills, it couldn't be used repeatedly.

But it's enough for this match, with this pace Seirin could win.

The play went on with both sides not giving up the balls. Even the audience was having fun from watching them played. Amanogi only smirked as he could see both teams were enjoying the match. And they finally arrived at the determination of the match, the last 30 seconds.

Just when the ball was on Kuroko's hands and he passed to Kiyoshi, they all thought Seirin has won already. But they were wrong, Midorima was already jumping to block the shoot.

Amanogi held his breath when the referee declared it as a foul, with two free throw. He glanced at Kiyoshi, his condition was dropped immensely from the match, his legs were trembling from the force.

The first throw, it went in.

When Kiyoshi readied himself for the second shoot, Amanogi squinted his eyes, "It's not going in." he murmured. And just as what he said, the ball bounced from the ring. 

"REBOUND!" Both Coach shouted.

The ball was caught by Otsubo, but Kagami suddenly stealed it. He ducked down, and prepared himself for a jump. As if expecting it, Midorima was already in front of the man and jumped to block the shoot.

"Aww man." Amanogi said as he watched the timer ended. "What an unexpected outcome, it's a draw." He watched with proud smile as both teams lined up and bowed, ending the match officialy.

"You did a really great job today, Kiyoshi-senpai." He said while they're at the changing room.

All members suddenly stopped and glanced towards Kiyoshi who only scratched his neck with happy face.

"Don't give us that weird smile Kiyoshi!"

"Ugh d*mn you Kiyoshi!"

"So unfair, senpai!"

The red haired man only sweatdropped as he watched the members cornering Kiyoshi who won't stop giggling. It became a new routine for them to compete against each other just to earn Amanogi's praise. Because he rarely praised anyone and his training routine was even more brutal than Riko.

Riko barged in, ignoring the protests from the men who were changing. She brieved them about the next match against Kirisaki Dai-ichi, which was the final match before going to Winter Cup. In short, they have to win against them to make it into Winter Cup as Shūtoku was already qualified.

"Ano, Coach--"

Koganei explained how he secretly brought Nigou to the arena, earning panicked shouts from the rest.

"This is bad! Go find him!"

They neglected their belongings and scattered to search for Nigou. Amanogi immediately pulled Kuroko with him, "I heard someone's screaming about dog, it must be it."

Kuroko only watched Amanogi's back with astonished face, his ears were something to be proud of as he could literally hear anything from miles away--of course this is just an exaggeration.
