But I don't have main character hair! Kuroko help me!

A secret weapon or a new shadow

A/N Thank you guys and gals for all the reviews! I will try to meet your expectations (and probably fail, but so is life) In any case the main reason for this is to tell you that I know Vyliana is not acting the same as she did at the very beginning. There is a very specific reason for that and I will address is later. hehe until then, enjoy the story. *begins to walk away while muttering to self* I hope I got the terms right. oh they will hate me for this...hehehe

Chapter 10

I roared, hoping it would startle him. I knew in a head to head battle I would lose, he just had far more upper body strength, but luckily it worked. His hand jumped back and I slammed the ball into the hoop before falling back to the ground. His eyes widened as he watched me fall. When I jump, I don't really fall, I plummet. I can float through the air and when I want to reach the ground I just go straight down. There is no lag time. 'Float-drop' that's what I nicknamed the skill. When Kagami finally hit the ground he had a look of excitement on his face.
"Hehe, looks like I have competition" he smirked.

As the game progressed, I used my knowledge of Seirin strategies against them. They seemed shocked at how I always seemed to be there no matter what play they used. In my mind I fist pumped saying to myself 'Hooray for my lack of social life!' Kagami started to get really revved up, it was half point and we were tied 42-42. It was their ball. I say a small spark fly from his eyes, sh& , he's in his zone. Five minutes later it was essentially a one-on-one match w/ assistance from Kuroko. My knowledge and float-drop were just barely keeping up. The score stood at 54-50, Kagami in the lead. I couldn't pass, so all I could do was try to get to the goal and dunk before Kagami got there. Kuroko was essentially out of commission since I could see him like any other player. The third quarter was almost over, 65-54. Eleven points behind, I looked at my teammates. They were exhausted, they couldn't keep up with the pace Kagami and I set. Since half time, they seemed to be trying to do something but I couldn't figure out what. I found out soon enough. They were trying to force to shoot. 'how'd they figure it out?' It almost worked but while they were focused on me, my team was free to move. I grinned and moved into position. I raised my arm to shoot, but instead of aiming for the hoop I went for a purpose rebound to Shinji. Who turned it into an easy 2 points. After that they stopped trying to corner me and just went for points. Third quarter was over and my team was being crushed.

The fourth quarter started and I stepped onto the court. Kagami was still in the zone. I heard one of teammates whisper, "We are doomed." I snapped. My head bent forward, my bangs covering my eyes. I dug deep and pulled on my power. I felt a surge come over me. It was warm and comforting. I looked up and my eyes flashed. I grinned at Kagami.

Kagami POV

(Half-time)

I was surprised this girl made me go into the zone. She seemed to know exactly where everyone was at all times. It was almost like she knew our moves before we did.

"Does she have Eagle eye?" I asked.

"No." Kuroko appeared beside me. I jumped. "Even if Vyliana did, she still shouldn't be able to see me. Her ability is something else."

"Does she even have a power?"

"You can't have those kind of stats and not" Riko-senpai interjected.

"Did you see her jumps? They were ridiculous! You can't just float and suddenly drop likes that! Is her jumping, her strength, like me?"

"Her jumps are rather weird, but with her running from earlier I'm not really surprised her legs are so strong."Riko-senpai said while she looked at her board. "I really want to see her in the zone! Kuroko is she capable of entering?"

"I don't know I can't really tell. Her presence is off."

"What do you mean?"

"It doesn't feel like other people's, but it's not like mine; where it's practically nonexistent." Kuroko thought for a second before speaking again, "Vyliana's presence is almost like the air, it's always there, but you don't always notice it. Either she just has that big of a presence or she is somehow able to spread what she has out so you can't pinpoint her location." The team nodded

"That actually kind of makes sense." Captain took a turn speaking. "But that doesn't explain how she is able to intercede on all our plays. There is no way we would be this far ahead if it wasn't for Kagami's brute strength and what about the fact she never shoots. All she does is dunk. Why is that? Is she showing off?"

"I think she has too." I finally spoke up. They turned to me and raised an eyebrow. "What?! It just seems as though she can't shoot. Remember at the beginning? When she had an easy 2 pointer in front of her, she just passed the ball to her teammate without looking at the hoop."

"There's only one way to find out we have to force her into a position where she has too shoot." We agreed and headed back onto the court.

(End of third)

We walked off the court.

"Well, that failed." Kuroko commented.

"Yeah, but did you see that pass it right to him! It was like one of yours, except we could see it."I mentioned. I looked over at Riko-senpai, who had a devious look on her face.

"HEheehe, I can work with this, yes. Oh yes, I can." I started to walk over when Captain pulled me back.

"You shouldn't bug her when she is like that." I gulped and nodded. "Instead of trying to trick let's just focus on winning."

"I can do that." I grinned and walked back out on the court. I looked at Vyliana. She had head bent forward, then she suddenly looked up. Her eyes glinted dangerously. I her a whisper from behind me. It startled me and I spun around.

"For Kami's sake, stop doing that!... Wait what did you say?"

"She just made it into the zone."

"Whaaat?" Kuroko sighed and looked at me like I was stupid,

"She is in the zone, watch out we don't know what her skills are quite yet." I nodded. Vyliana just stood there grinning at me.

Vyliana's POV

I saw the doors just like in the show. They opened and I walked through. I could feel my energy being renewed and I wanted to share that with my teammates. Then I felt the power disperse through the room. It made the air of urgency and tension from the game turn into calm. I pulled the power back into me. I had a plan. Kagami and I faced off on opposite sides of the court. He was fully submerged in the zone. His face showed his concentration and desire to win. He started forward, dribbling the ball. . . He came at me full force. He faked right and went left. He was so fast, I could barely keep track of him. The calm inside me told me that he was going to fake and I unconsciously moved to the left instead. He narrowed his eyes and gazed down at me. After a little bit of dancing back and forth, he broke past my defense, going for a dunk. I turned and leapt to block him. It was a battle of strength and I was losing until I let my zone power out. I could see the spark fade from his eyes as we fell. 'It worked! He can only play the zone when he turns his emotions into raw power, my calm overrides his emotions. Taking the core of his power away.' I grabbed the ball and darted away. The moment I was out of range he was able to reenter the zone. The game continued like that. I used my calm to dispel his zone and my passing and dunking to score. I would occasionally retract the calm to desensitize them, it wasn't perfect and my team was still affected, but they worked hard despite that. Riko blew her whistle, signaling the end of the game. The score was 73- 81, we won. I high-fived my team and congratulated them. I looked at the regulars they were in a circle talking urgently, well all except kagami. He was smiling like a maniac, a dark aura surrounding him. I laughed and walked over.
