The Dark Zone (KnB)

Kuroko In the Zone?!

(Time skip. 2 months into the future)

It's been two months since Japan beat the United States in the Olympic game, and now all the hype from that game has now transferred to the high school spring cup coming soon.

"Tetsu-kuuuuuuuun!!!" Ahhhhhh, yes the scream I hear everyday after school.... And the pain from getting tackled with a hug.

"Good afternoon Momoi-san, I was just heading to practice, are you coming too?" I asked.

In the two month period that happened since the Olympic game, Momoi-san joined that basketball team as my private manager. When I say private, I actually mean private. She doesn't give a single other person any water or towels besides me. I can't exactly say I don't like it though.

"Sorry, but today I promised my mom and dad that I would eat at a fancy restaurant with them today." Momoi-san said, with a cute pout face.

"It's no problem, I guess we been having lots of practice recently, skipping one day wouldn't hurt. How about I walk you home?"

What? I just can't let my defenseless girlfriend walk home by herself. I can go home and practice with Brian-nii.

"My my, what a gentleman." Momoi-san responded.

I took her hand and started walking away from the school.

(Magically the time skips to Kuroko's practice with his NBA superstar brother)

"Tetsu, always remember, even though your trying to get better offensively, you can't stand out. Make a shot here and there, but you can't forget, the more you stand out, the less effective your misdirection is."

He's right. It's happened to me before in the Rakuzan game. What if it happens again?

"Yes sir." I responded.

When I practice with Brian-nii he becomes really strict. I guess it shows how much he loves basketball.

"Tetsu, make sure you go to practice tomorrow, because I won't be here for the next few days." Brian-nii said.

"Really? What business do you have to attend to?"

"Today is a dear friend's final game before he retires. He was our generations Michael Jordan. I wouldn't feel like a good friend if I didn't attend."

He's obviously talking about Kobe. By now even the news has spread to Japan about the great Kobe Bryant retiring.

Also, in the Olympic game against USA, Brian-nii injured himself going one on one with Steph Curry, so he hasn't played in the NBA for two months.

"No problem Brian-nii. But before you go can I practice a move on you?"

I know I could just show him tomorrow before he leaves, but I really wanted to try this move out on him today. He's a two time league MVP and a one time defensive player of the year, if I can get through him with this move, I can go through anybody.

"You sure? My defense is pretty much unbeatable" he warned me.

I shook my head yes and started dribbling the ball towards Brian-nii.

No matter what I did, I couldn't get pass him. I kept trying over and over and couldn't even budge him.

"COME ON! PUSH YOUR LIMIT HARDER!" Brian-nii kept screaming.

I honestly felt like I was going to pass out. But before I knew it I was in some type of dream like place.

This place is somewhere I've never been to before. I was floating until I hit the bottom of the surface.

There stood a giant door, with some person standing in front of it, I couldn't see him clearly but I could tell he was emotionless.

Just where am I?

(Hehe, cliffhanger. For those of you that finished the anime or the manga, you pretty much know where he is. And btw, let's not forget about Kobe's 60 points in his final game, I thank you Kobe for the amazing 20 years of basketball #ThankYouKobe )
