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

Game time!

Chapter 12

As the day slowly began to progress I got this nagging feeling in the back of my head that told me that something bad was going to happen. My fears were confirmed when I saw Riko smiling as she walked down the hallway. I gulped and mentally prepared myself for the news. As soon as school ended I trudged down the hallway, dreading each step. 'what school is it this time? Is it a MiraGen? She wasn't skipping so I hope that means she only thinks we have a match....' When I had finished dressing and went out onto the court I caught a glimpse of a small figure in the hallway, it was bouncing up and down as it slowly became bigger. With each leap, I stepped back hoping it wasn't her. Just as my back collided with the far wall, the rest of the team entered the court. They saw me and asked what was wrong. I just trembled and raised my hand to point at the approaching figure. You could practically see the flowers and sparkles floating around her. The older members on the team cringed, but the rest just stood there clueless. 'oh how I wish I were as ignorant as they.' I wished longingly to myself.

"Minna, Gather up! I have wonderful news!" The team groaned and slowly moved towards her. "Alright! I managed to get us a practice game against..... Kaijo! Hehe :3" Kagami was the first to react. He was grinning from ear to ear, just like Riko.

"That's where one of those generation of miracles people go right?"

"Yes, that is where Kise Ryouta goes." Kuroko said and scared the daylights out of Kagami. Riko clapped her hands.

"In light of our upcoming match, I'm going to double our practices. We need to practice very hard." Although we knew that was part of the reason, we also knew that Riko would take ANY opportunity to make us practice more. Which wasn't a bad thing in and of itself but... it still hurt.

Over the next week, Riko worked us to our bones. A lot of the work went into the Kagami/Kuroko team. While I did participate in training, same as the rest, I didn't need to work in a specific pairing like Kagami and Kuroko.

Finally the day of the match was on us. I was so excited to see my favorite show, turn into reality right before my eyes. I was super giddy and basically skipped all the way to school. I had forgotten I was on the team, I was going to have to play. Before leaving I changed into my basketball shorts and t-shirt. As we lined up on the bus to leave, Riko stopped me.

"Vyliana, we have a problem."

"What is it?"

"Your uniform hasn't arrived yet. I don't have any spares. You'll have to completely sit out this match." She looked worried. I just shrugged.

"It's ok. I mean I can still go with you guys right?"

"Yes, yes of course." She brightened and hopped onto the bus. I followed after her. I chose the seat right behind Kagami.

"hey, Bakagami."

"Yes?" he sounded dragged out and he had dark circles under his eyes.

"Didn't sleep much, huh?"

"I was too excited. I couldn't" I laughed and handed him a candy. He took it and popped it into his mouth. I simply sat back and enjoyed. (The candy was a piece of hard candy filled with habenero paste. The shelled is sweet and makes the hot taste better) I watched as he realized his mistake. His face slowly turned red and steam came out his ears. I laughed really hard, it was hilarious! I leaned forward and asked him,

"Feel better now?" he looked at me for a second with a look of pure hate, before widening his eyes. He was fully awake now.

"Yes. Thank you."

"No prob."shorrtly after our conversation, we arrived at Kise's school. The huge gates loomed over us. Although our school was new and this place was ridiculous.

A blonde object comes hurdling out of the school building. As it came closer we heard a high-pitched scream

"Kurokooooccchhhhiiiiiiiii!" I winced and looked at Kuroko. He tensed up waiting for the impact. I side-stepped and blocked Kise from hitting Kuroko. I didn't move and Kise just kind bounced of my arms that were crossed in front of my body. He sat on the ground and whimpered.

"Hello Kise-kun."

"Waaah Kurokochi! He hurt me." Kise pointed at me. I raised an eyebrow.

"I hurt you?" Kise stood up and dusted off his arms. "I am fairly sure it was you, that ran into me."

"waaaah! Kurokochi, He's being mean to meeee." He turned and held his arms open for a hug. Kuroko denied him.

"Kise, he is right. You shouldn't run out of the building like that." Kise whimpered but nodded.

"So this is team you chose, huh. You should transfer here, then we could play just like we used-"

"no." Kise began to whine, but Kagami quickly cut him off.

"Oi, you there, the blonde one. Where is the gym?" Kise turned around annoyed, then he remembered why it was that we were there.

"Yes, yes, this way." we followed him into the gym. The team was amazed by the size of the facilities, but that was cut short by the net dividing the gym in half. I smirked to myself. hehe well we won't be seeing that for long. The other team's coach swaggered over. Even though I knew that swager wouldn't be there for long, it still angered me how he acted. That B $%$ rd. I tapped Riko on the shoulder.

"Riko? I'm going to the bathroom." She nodded and I turned to leave. I went up to Kagami, with full knowledge of what I was doing and said, "I don't like this "coach". He swaggers too much. If he doesn't respect us as opponents, I expect you to destroy them right out of the gate."

"As if I would slack off under normal circumstances," He grinned, cracking his knuckles, "but I won't let anyone disrespect us. You've got it."

"Good" I grin to myself. Perhaps I shouldn't mess with the plot... I took one look at the other coach's smug face and dismissed any musings. I walked up to Kise.

"Kise-kun?" He jumped and spun around.

"ehhh?! um, yes....uh" He looked me up and down. "Who are you again?"

"I'm one of the players of Kuroko's team. Nice to meet you. I was just wondering where the restrooms were." I let my voice get a little lower, just enough so that it didn't sound too much like a girl's.

"Oh, ok. It's this way." He started to lead me out of the gym.

"There's no need to take me all the way there. Just point me in the right direction, I can find my way back."

"This is a pretty big school, you may get lost." I sighed and followed him out the gym and down a hallway. When we finally made it the restrooms, I hesitated for a minute before entering the guys restroom. Kise waited outside thankfully and no one was inside. I went to a stall and sat down, I held my hand over my mouth and screamed. The sound echoed a bit, but I was too excited to care. I was about to watch my favorite characters play right in front of me. Speaking of which, I needed to get back to the gym. I stood and flushed the stool. After washing my hands I left the bathroom. Kise was still waiting for me to come out. He was leaning up against the wall opposite the doorway, looking off into space. I tapped him on the shoulder.
