Spark | Kuroko no Basuke x OC

Happy-Go-Lucky

That not only caught the blonde himself off guard, it got the whole court wondering what that 'weakness' could be.

He found it?! "What is it? A certain number of copies he can only do? A blind spot?" Tomoko jumped up and down, excited to hear the big reveal.

"Neither. He said he can take on anything with one look," Kagami explained with a wide smirk, then turning to face Kise, "but what if you can't see it? Against someone who's already invisible, you can't ever achieve an invisible basketball style, no matter how athletic you are. So your weakness," his large hand came down on Kuroko's head and he dragged the boy over in front of him, cackling proudly, "is him!"

"What are you doing," Kuroko droned in monotone, but there was a hint of exasperation.

Everyone seemed to be floored by the Seirin ace's announcement, but Hyuuga Junpei was the first to come back from it. "Kagami's powerless against Kise, but his weakness is...?"

"Aside from passing, the weakest guy on the court... Kuroko-kun?" Riko finished the captain's thought incredulously. The others look surprised, as well.

"...Ah. That makes sense!" Tomoko said, drawing all of the attention towards her when she realized what Kagami meant. She flashed them a lopsided smile. "Kise-kun can't imitate Kuroko-kun's plays—it's too unique. That's what makes Kuroko-kun so much more amazing!"

Being so blatantly shot down about his own skills, Kise pouted at Tomoko dramatically. Didn't girls idolize him? Why was she repeatedly doubting his basketball? "But what does that change?"

"It changes everything," Kagami smirked confidently.

The whistle for the end of first quarter came to signal break, and before they knew it, they were back on the court after a short 2 minutes, recharged to start the second quarter. Both teams made new plays and strategies after learning from the previous quarter.

This time, Kaijo was smart to focus their attention on Kagami and Kuroko's passes. But the light and shadow duo were an un-staggering force... For the most part. Tomoko giggled when the two lost control of the ball.

As the quarter played on, however, Kise was getting increasingly irritated by Kuroko's misdirection passes—he wasn't used to playing on opposite teams with his 'teammate.' It further stunned the blonde when the boy became his mark, rendering him unable to run by. But Kise wasn't powerless, either.

He jumped for a three-pointer. Or so he thought—Kagami was actually covering the top. Kagami had prepared to jump higher with the help of his shadow and slammed the ball down from midair.

"Fast break!"

Kise growled and spun around, trying to catch up to the redhead. The fast motion made his arm swing outward and he unintentionally hit Kuroko, who was behind him at this point, hard in the head. Time was drowned in slow-motion as Kuroko came crashing onto the ground.

Gasps from the players and fans watching from the second floor rang throughout the court, and Tomoko dropped everything when she saw how serious her blue haired friend was hurt.

"KUROKO-KUN!"

Off in the distance, one could see a black haired teen pedaling a bicycle as he huffed and wheezed. Chained to the bike was a wooden cart, and inside sat a calm, bespectacled green haired teen.

Takao Kazunari was breathing hard, riding uphill and lugging two hundred pounds behind him wasn't what he would call a casual workout. "We were supposed to trade at the signal, damn it!" he whined, but continued the painful torture. "You haven't pedaled once!"
