Intentional Injury

So this will be my last writing for the next few weeks as I prepare and take my finals! So I'll just leave you with a prompt that I found on kagami /kuoko prompts. If any one is interested I'll send the URL through a PM. But I saw this one and wanted to attempt it. I think I did a fairly decent job. I'll give you the original prompt, disclaimer and story!

"Hanamiya Makoto intentionally injures Kuroko during a game expecting protective boyfriend Kagami to go apeshit and lose his concentration on the match. Instead, Kagami goes into a terrifyingly serene rage and proceeds to win the match in the scariest display of calm anyone has ever seen."

DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN KnB

We were playing Kirisaki Daiichi once again. This time it was as part of the fall competition. Which means it doesn't matter if we lose here as we already qualified for the winter tournament this year from the Inter-high, but as usual everyone was giving this game their all. It was only three minutes into the game, but my misdirection seemed to be in full affect despite the fact that we had played this team before and my presence wasn't as weak as it used to be. It was unsettling, but I went with it, thankful to be useful to Seirin.

The score was four to eight Seirin leading. I stole the ball quickly and easily from one of their new starters and made a simple pass to Hyuuga. Our captain made the shot, it sunk straight into the net. It was flawless. I saw Kagami flash me a grin as he ran back to join defense and I smiled at him slightly, something only he would be able to spot.

"Nice pass, Kuroko!" Hyuuga clapped me on the back as he ran pass.

As I turned to run to defense I saw Hanamiya look at me, his eyes quickly flashed to Kagami returning to me a second later. He smirked.

What does he have in mind? Probably nothing good. I thought to myself.

I headed in the direction that Kagami was. "Kagami-kun please be careful."

The red-head nodded. "Yeah. Same to you."

I shook my head. "No, I think that they are going after you."

He glanced at me this time, eyes filled with something that I couldn't describe. "I was waiting for that."

I stared at him out of the corner of my eye, my face blank, not showing how concerned I actually was.

The game restarted, Kirisaki Daiichi were making basic, clean plays. They didn't seem aggressive, in fact they weren't showing any ill-intent towards us. The pace of the game slowed considerably. They easily broke through our weakened inside and made a lay-up.

This is worrying. I thought.

Seirin had the ball again. We we're planning on using a new play that we had just created. The play was fairly simple; it started from Hyuuga, who would pass to Kagami who would make a break away passing to Izuki as he did, Izuki would pass back to me. I would perform my vanishing drive and finish with a pass to Mitobe, and the last part was Mitobe making a hook shot alley oop to Kagami who would dunk it.

So far the play was going well. Then I noticed the player that had been marking me. His stance was something that I had never seen before.

Huh? I glanced at him fully. What's with that stance?

The player's arms were stretched out in a normal guarding stance normally reserved for the larger players, his legs were spread too far to give him any agility or speed benefit. They actually were more of a hazard for being off balance. The ball caught my attention and I turned to grab it, when I had it and I was turning into my drive, I stumbled over his foot.
