A/N: Is it just me or does anyone else forget the other first-years names? Like, the only one I know by heart is Furihata. Oops. Anyways, enjoy!

CHAPTER EIGHT - ACE VS FORMER ACE

KIYOSHI WAS DRIBBLING THE BALL onto the ground while Kagami stood in front of him. He moved right past Kagami who was quick to react. "He's bigger than me, but he's pretty fast!" Kagami thinks to himself.

Kiyoshi jumped up to score a point but Kagami ended up knocking the ball out of his hands. "So high! His jumps really are unbelievable in person." Kiyoshi noted. 

"Amazing!" Fukuda exclaimed in awe.

"Neither one is budging." Furihata commented.

"They're evenly matched?" Kawahara questioned.

"Kiyoshi really is amazing." Hyuga stated. "He hasn't played in a while, but he's doing this well against Kagami."

"But Kagami's the one pressuring him." Izuki pointed out.

"Kiyoshi... Kiyoshi... I know that name is familiar to me somehow! His moves are familiar too." Daigo thought. He was scolding himself for not remembering where he heard that name.

Kagami now had the ball in his hands. "But what is this? Kiyoshi's movements..." Hyuga thinks to himself, narrowing his eyes in thought.

Kiyoshi was breathing heavily as he wiped the sweat off of his face. "This is harder than I thought it would be." He thought, before getting into position.

"He broke past him?"

"Crap, I responded too slowly!" Kiyoshi scolded himself.

Kagami jumped up to score but Kiyoshi jumped up to block him. "It's not over yet." Izuki commented.

Kagami moved up from behind Kiyoshi before slamming the ball into the hoop. "What?" Kiyoshi questioned in his head.

"That's amazing!" Furihata said. "He dunked from behind. Kagami wins!"

Kiyoshi sighed in defeat. "You got me. I lost." He said, placing a hand on Kagami's shoulder. "Just like I promised, you can start."

"Okay." Kagami replied.

"Hey..." Riko started to say.

Kagami opened the door. "I'm going. Good work." He called out as the door closed.

"What are you thinking, Kiyoshi?" Izuki spoke.

Kiyoshi turned around. "He really is strong." He complimented.

Riko slammed her paper fan at Kiyoshi's back. "And what are we going to do without you?" She asked angrily as Kiyoshi rubbed his head.

"I can't help it. Saying I haven't been playing isn't really much of an excuse." He responded. "This is the best I can do."

"That's not your best. You're acting too stupid. Look at your feet!" Hyuga pointed out, gesturing to his shoes. "Those are indoor shoes, you moron!"

"What?"

"Sheesh... Don't tell me you lost on purpose." Hyuga told him.

"Oh, crap!"

"It wasn't on purpose?"

"Sheesh!"

"Aha!" Daigo suddenly exclaimed, getting his teammates attention.

"What is it, Aomine?" Hyuga asked.
