''Sakura no Basuke''

Prologue

It was another normal day for the Seirin basketball club freshmen. At the moment they were sitting around a table in a café, staring incredulously at their red headed giant who was trying to eat food with his left hand. Grasping a broccoli with trembling chopsticks the ace of Seirin tried to insert the vegetable into his mouth, but to no avail. Shouting out in frustration, Kagami pulled on his red tresses, all the while banging his head on the table.

''What's he doing?'' One of the freshmen trio asked, sweat dropping, Furihata shrugged while sweat dropping himself.

''Don't know. I think he's practicing to use his left hand.'' Stated the said brunette who gulped down his own salad. A teal headed small boy slurped on his milkshake making the others at the table jump. After all this time they still haven't got used with his sudden appearances. The redhead's eyebrows started to twitch, so wanting to hit the smaller boys head.

''S-So what are you going to do this weekend?'' Luckily for Kuroko one of the freshmen broke the ice. Gaining a little more confidence the raven haired guy continued with an exited voice '' It's our rare break after all!''

''Kagami just grunted, giving up with eating with his left hand ''Hmpt… Just going to sleep in.'' And with that he continued munching on his large portion of salad. ''Hah..'' The trio mumbled while sweat dropping. Suddenly a light bulp appeared above the brunette's head.

''Ah! I got an idea!'' He exclaimed happily while browsing in his bag. After a few seconds later he pulled out a flyer with 'STREET BASKETBALL' in big letters on it. Kuroko blinked while examining the piece of paper. A tournament, huh? The ace thought while grinning, this should be interesting.

''You guys want to join?'' The other two of the trio looked hesitant while the baby powder haired boy stared blankly at the flyer. ''I don't know… Our day off from basketball to play even more basketball..?'' Fukuda stated uncertain. The other in the trio looked at the brunette curiously.

''Where's that?'' The said brunette beamed at his teammate, happy that someone considered his idea. He put an index finger on his chin as if thinking.

''I think 30 minutes by train from here, you can enroll in the same day as the tournament anyway.'' He leaned back and eyed the light with its shadow that sat on the other side of the table from him. Grabbing his milkshake he huffed.

''Honestly, you two are regulars, let us play in competitions too!'' The baka trio exclaimed similarly, that made a tiny small creep onto Kuroko's lips.

''Alright… Let's go it.'' Kagami said, all the while smirking. Maybe he will meet someone from the Generation of Miracles there? Kuroko on the other hand, didn't want that to happen.

Only forty minutes later the small group of players walked into the courts where the tournament was held at. They were amazed by the mass of basketball players already there. All kinds of teams were taking it off already too! Looking around, the trio minus one of their group looked around in awe. The phantom sixth player crouched down and petted Tetsuya's #2 head to keep him from barking.

''Wow! The tournament is grander in scale then I thought!'' One of them exclaimed. Kagami gave a look when he met an unwanted teammate's gaze. He pointed an accusing finger at his senior who was oblivious to the redhead's mockery.

''Why are you here?!'' he yelled at the older teenager with furry. Invisible question marks appeared above his head, still completely oblivious at his junior's irritation. He raised an eyebrow when just then he saw the boiling red eyes directed at him.

'' Huh? Why shouldn't I be here? You're missing a member anyways~! So relax and enjoy!'' He exclaimed happily, a glitter filled background appeared out of thin air behind the male. Kagami gritted his teeth but mumbled a small 'Hai' anyway. When he calmed down from his mini temper tantrum he scanned the area. Where the hell was that god damn booth anyway? The blue eyed stoic boy pointed a finger to their right. The boys fallowed his fingers with their eyes to discover the booth.

''Alright Kuroko! You found the booth!'' One of the now baka pair exclaimed in happiness. The boy nodded his head stiffly before freezing. The team seemed to notice him slacking off for a change and started to worry. That was out of character for Kuroko alright. What got them more shocked when the small boy's milkshake slipped out of his hand.

''-The hell do you mean by that?!'' An angry female's voice bummed in the area. All heads twisted to the direction of the booth only to see a beautiful female yelling bloody murder at the poor guy in the said booth. In physical appearance she looked similar to Momoi Saksuki, GoM's former manager except for the fact that the said pinkette had stunning emerald eyes and short choppy hair that was held in a messy bun.

''I'm sorry Miss bu-'' The girl put a hand in front of the unfortunate souls face to shut him up. Placing a sweet smile she shifted from her position and leaned towards the scared boy with murder intent. That's when they noticed that the bubblegum haired girl was wearing Rakuzan High basketball club's jersey.

''Just sign the papers and you won't die young.'' She said in a sugar coated voice that sent chills down the young boy's spine. He furiously nodded his head and the girls smile widen. Sighing the paper in an inhuman speed the girl walked out like nothing ever happened leaving the other people to stare at her in awe.

''Haruno-san…?'' Kuroko muttered under his breath but due to the silence the Seirin team picked up what the shadow said. Kagami, coming out of his daze looked down at his partner with a raised eyebrow.

''You know that chick Kuroko?'' The said bluenette nodded his head gaining his teammates attention.

''Generation of Miracles hidden weapon, Akashi's right hand Haruno Sakura.''

I hope you liked the story so far, this was only a very short prologue to the actual story. The other chapters will be flashbacks from the GoM Teiko days plus Sakura in it. Basically it will tell the story from when Sakura ''joins'' the team until graduation from Teiko :) I didn't decide on a pairing yet so I'm going to leave it as Sakura harem for now, you can vote if you want :P
