Phantom of the underworld

chapter 32

Meanwhile as Shuzo dealt with the enemy, back at the camp where the others are, where you find the group at the court getting ready to see a match that Tetsuki and Akashi made a bet, will Akashi win this to get some answers from Tetsuki about their families? Or will something cause a storm to come by to destroy the Yamaguchi family? Well then lets find out shall we....

"Do you think Kuroko-chan team got a chance?"

"No way, this is the Generation of Miracles we're talking about; the same team that crushed other schools and got three consecutive championships." 

"But Kuroko part of the Generation of Miracles and their vice-captain, isn't she." 

"More like honorary member."

"No, that's Kagami."

Hyuuga vaguely listen to the conversation as the non-participating players sat on the pulled out benches while the coaches set up as referees. Hyuuga was busy questioning whether such secrets Kuroko-chan was keen on keeping as such was important enough to pull such a foolish stunt like these. How many more secrets did his kouhai hiding that-

"You're going to get wrinkles if you keep that up." The shooting guard jump a bit at Kiyoshi comment.

"Dear god, Kiyoshi don't scare me like that; it's already enough having Kuroko-chan doing it." Hyuuga grumble as the former Seirin center laugh at Hyuuga response, "Speaking of, do you know something we don't?"

"What do you mean?"

"You have that look in your eye when you know something and you're hiding it. Did you know Kuroko had connections with them?" Kiyoshi chuckles absentmindedly while rubbing back of his head.

"Not really, I only found out the person Hanamiya worked foe was Tetsuki after Tetsuki told us about the owner of the resort being her uncle. Though, Tetsuki can be quite a conniving little shadow."

"Huh! Conniving little shadow, what do you mean by that, Kiyoshi and since when did you called Kuroko-chan Tetsuki."

"It just an inside joke, and I ask her if its okay to call her first name she said its fine." 

About ten minutes elapsed when the two teams set up to being the match. As expected, Kagami and Murasakibara were the ones jumping for their respective teams. 

Coach Takeuchi tossed the ball into the air to begin the game as Murasakibara was quick to grab the ball and toss it to Akashi. Yukio was quick to mark Akashi and by that time the bystanders were able to see who was marking who. 

Kagami and Shoichi had switch to mark Aomine and Murasakibara respectively. Kotarō was position near Kise; the hyperactive players unusually calm compare to their typical behavior. Although, they couldn't see her at the moment, they knew Tetsuki was lurking around Midorima. Kazunari and Tatsuya were sitting out for the time being, though Kazunari seems to be watching the match with unusual intensity based on his hawk-eye players stiff posture but also Tetsuki instruction to observe them. 

Yukio studied Akashi movement as he kept up with the other movement, blocking him from making any useful progress toward the goal. He pause when the other did so, and prepare himself to intercept when Akashi lean forward for probably another attempt to pass. He hesitate for a moment when he notice Akashi cross the ball to his other hand.

'Is he attempting an ankle break already? Oh well thats what Tetsuki suspect he would do.' Yukio gritted his teeth when Akashi smirked. Taking advantage of the other hesitation. Akashi pass the ball off to Aomine. The ganguaro wasted no little time in proceeding to the basket and, despite Kagami best efforts scored the first points of the game.
