Ana's Fanfiction le final



Kuroko no basuke is a Japanese comic (called manga) following the development of a fairly young basketball team from Seirin High in Tokyo. In the manga there are six members who were part of a legendary team known as the “Generation of Miracles”, each member had an extra ordinary ability. Each member of the legendary team entered different high schools after the players stopped enjoying playing a game they once loved. The manga follows the Seirin team as each member over comes personal and physical hardships as they strive to overcome the “Generation of Miracles” and become the number one team in Japan. The manga mainly focuses on Tetsuya Kuroko, dubbed the “Phantom sixth player “from the “Generation of Miracles”, and Taiga Kagami, a teen who was raised in America with a natural talent for basketball.

This fan fiction takes place between the inter-high championship and the winter cup. The characters involved are Kuroko, Kuroko #2, Kagami, Kise, and Midorima.
Cultural notes; People in Japan call each other by their last names until they have a deeper or long relationship. Therefore Kise and Midorima call Tetsuya Kuroko “Tetsuya” unlike Kagami who calls him “Kuroko”.  “Sempai” is a Japanese term used for an older student to show respect. 


The autumn wind rustled through the brightly coloured leaves, Kuroko looked up from his book to see sky blue eyes staring at him expectantly. Kuroko #2 began to wag his tail in delight, as Kuroko got up from under the tree he’d been using. He glided through the house, unnoticed by all except the puppy who bounded along excitedly in front of him.  Kuroko winced as he walked up the stairs towards his room. Aida-Sempai had given the team a hellish training program after their defeat at the interhigh preliminaries to Senshinkan High, and Kuroko’s legs were still suffering. 

“I wonder what Kagami-kun is doing” Kuroko asked the puppy.


 Kuroko #2 tilted his head to the side, Kuroko smiled “I don’t know either, wanna go for a walk?” the puppy’s face light up and he started to bark.

 “Okay, okay, hold still” Kuroko said as he attached the lead to Kuroko #2’s collar.

Walking along the quite back streets Kuroko walked past the local convenience store. Kuroko #2 stopped and stared at the entrance, just as Kuroko turned his head to look.

A familiar voice called out from behind him “Kurokocchi!”

 Sighing Kuroko turned around “I told you to stop calling me that Kise.” 
 

In front of him was a boy of the same age but considerably taller.

The boy called Kise brushed his blonde out of his eyes and beamed down at Kuroko
“Now, now don’t look so bothered we were extremely close in middle school weren’t we?”

“Not really” responded Kuroko.

Kise laughed and patted Kuroko on the head “Where are you headed Kurokocchi?”

Kuroko blankly starred up at him through his ruffled bangs. 

Suddenly the door to the convenience store opened and a boy wearing glasses walked out, sliding his glasses further up his nose.

 He glanced towards Kise and Kuroko

 “How unlucky it is that I run into you two, especially the blonde idiot.” 

“What’s that supposed to mean Midorima?” yelled Kise pouting a little

“It means that I really don’t want to see you two fools during my holiday, idiot” Midorima shot back
Kuroko couldn’t help but think the exact same thing.

“Hello Kuroko” said Midorima coolly.

Kuroko nodded in his direction, “Midorima”. 
 
Both Kise and Midorima had been members of the generation of miracles with Kuroko. 

“This feels like fate” laughed Kise.

“More like misfortune” grumbled Midorima.

 Kuroko started to walk forward when he noticed that both Kise and Midorima were following him.
“Uumm what are you doing?” asked Kuroko.

 “I-I-I I just happen to be going this way too” spluttered Midorima

 “Well I’m bored and thought it would be fun to hang out since I haven’t seen you since the inter-high” said Kise with his hands behind his head and grinning.

 “Speaking of which, who’s this little guy?” Kise knelt down and started petting Kuroko #2.

“I don’t recall you having a dog Kurokocchi” Kise paused and stared at the dog, then looked at Kuroko then back to the dog and started laughing.

 “Oh my god, look at this Midorima!” said Kise while holding back his laughter.
“What?” responded Midorima.

“Don’t you think this dog looks a lot like Kuroko?” said Kise.



Midorima looked at the dog and then up at Kuroko; he let out a snorting sound and turned his head away, covering his mouth. After regaining his composure he turned back to the group,

“A little” 

 “What’s his name?” Kise asked as he started up at Kuroko.

 “Kuroko #2” Kuroko casually responded.

This sent the two over the edge with laughter, they laughed until they had tears in their eyes. Kuroko swiftly turned around and started to walk off hoping to leave them behind. A few seconds later he heard panting behind him and turned to find the two chasing after him. In a poor attempt to escape from them Kuroko turned down an unfamiliar street. But within seconds the two had caught up with their long legs.

“Naaaw we’re sorry Kurokocchi, but it’s just so funny how similar you two are” panted Kise.

“I must agree with Kise on that, even though I’d rather not” remarked Midorima.

A light breeze swept through the group, Kuroko #2 sniffed at the air and suddenly bolted down an alley way ripping the lead from Kuroko’s unsuspecting hand. Kuroko ran after him, with Kise and Midorima close behind.

“I see you’re training camp went well” commented Midorima as he caught up to Kuroko.

“Yeah, you don’t run slower than my grandma any more Kurokocchi” laughed Kise as he whizzed past them.

At the end of the alley was a chain link fence, Kuroko #2 had managed to crawl through a hole to the other side where he sat watching someone shoot hoops. As Kuroko got closer he recognised the players form.

“Kagami!” shouted Kise

The player turned around and swept his dark red bangs away from his eyes.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Kagami shot back.

“We ran into Kurokocchi at the convenience store and were hanging out” Kise shot back with his lady killing charm.

Unfazed Kagami responded “Yeah right, you probably stalked him, damn stalker!”

“….Hang on, who’s we?” Kagami demanded.

“Huh? Me and Midorima, he’s right here” Kise pointed to his left.

“I see you’re as rude as ever Kagami” Midorima coolly said.

“And I see you’re as weird as usual Midorima” Kagami shot back.

“So where’s Kuroko? Didn’t you two stalkers follow him here?” asked Kagami.

The group looked around, and couldn’t see Kuroko or Kuroko #2 anywhere.

Kagami sighed “What the hell”

Kagami turned around and found a puppy half an inch from his face. 

While the others had been talking Kuroko had decided that it would be funny to sneak up behind Kagami with Kuroko #2 to give him a fright.

Kagami fell backwards, yelling.

There was a sudden burst of laughter from across the court. Kuroko turned towards it and saw a group of what seemed to be delinquents holding Kagami’s ball
.  
“Oi would you mind passing me that ball?” Kagami asked the tallest boy in the group.



“Now why the hell would I wanna do that eh?” responded the boy

“Why the hell not you bastard” Kagami retorted

Kuroko could see that Kagami was getting angrier and angrier by the second.

“Why don’t you take you’re group of pansies and piss off, you weak bastard.”

Kuroko could hear the last restraints holding Kagami’s anger at bay snap.

“No, Kagami don’t!” Kuroko screamed.

Kise and Midorima lunged towards Kagami.


Blood gushed forth from what was once the delinquent’s mouth.

The End

There was a sudden burst of laughter from across the court. Kuroko turned towards it and saw a group of what seemed to be delinquents holding Kagami’s ball.  
“Oi would you mind passing me that ball?” Kagami asked the tallest boy in the group.

“Cause it’s mine” Kagami said.
Kuroko could see that Kagami was getting angrier and angrier by the second.
“Why don’t you come and ge...” before the boy could finish his sentence Kuroko went and flicked the ball out of his hands. Kise ran up and got it.
“Nicely done Kurokocchi” Kise smiled as he spun the ball in the tip of his finger.




Humanity (Final)



“Disgusting” 

I stated, glaring down to the bustling metropolis below me. The wind blew ferocious and unforgiving, causing my cobalt coloured hair to whip around my face viciously. A strange sight being the middle of a Tokyo summer, not surprising to me in the least though, not thanks to them. Mother Nature is angry, forcing her wrath upon us, punishing us all for the cruelty they have shown her. Cutting her down, crushing her beneath them, poisoning her air and building on top of her all for their own selfish wants and needs. Their civilisations only got bigger and more spacious as they bred like the cockroaches that they are… no, that’s insulting to the cockroaches. The Skyscraper I sat on for example, is something so obnoxiously big necessary for survival? What an abomination, a complete and utter waste of space, a fitting description I think, one that mirrors that of its creator. Hah, I could destroy it now. Transforming this mass of man-made material into dust and rubble, returning this place to the way it once was, hopefully killing a few of them in the process.



“Humans, a useless existence”

Humanity, a stain on the world Master Hao wishes to create, one I will help him create. A world free of humans and their self-indulgent natures. An untainted world, a Shaman only kingdom. We Shaman are people that have the ability to communicate with spirits and utilize their power to fight with. Humans once viewed Shaman as saviours; they relied on my people and viewed them like they were a faction of gods. Though there are a few weaklings among us we are the superior race, far superior to that of the human race, if you can even call them a race. More like a parasite, feeding of the nutrients off the world, sucking one area dry and then moving on to the next. Pitiful. 

Many years ago, Master Hao was one of their saviours, his power great and his generosity knew no bounds. Unfortunately, those unthankful humans didn’t see it that way. Their negative and egotistical dispositions have forced him to the conclusion of complete and utter genocide. Why not rid them now? Well this we will accomplish through the Shaman King tournament, once Master Hao is victorious he will become Shaman King and will purge the world in one fell swoop, creating a perfect world instantly. He has handpicked the ones that will be able to join him in this world, me being one of them; he has no room among him for weak beings.

Gazing up into the sky I noticed a full moon, its glare was bright and bore into me, it was almost painful. Not something I particularly wished to look at right now; being worn out from the shamanistic battles I took part in today.

The wind had died down slightly; I took this chance to light a cigarette and take a long awaited drag. The weather around this area lately had greatly prevented me from partaking in my unhealthy habit, something that could be considered a good thing if it weren’t for the fact that the smoke from my cigarette was the medium used to summon my spirit; Ashcroft. I looked down at the stick of tobacco I held in my hand and stifled a chuckle.


(Ashcroft)

“Those good for nothing humans managed to create something of use to me after all”


Not that this gained them anymore favour from me. One small act of practicality for me does little to overshadow all the other atrocities they have caused.

“Kanna”

I whipped my head around startled by the sudden call of my name, ready to unleash Ashcroft if need be, only to be faced by my saviour. The man I would follow to the ends of the earth and back. I knelt on one knee in front of him.

“Master Hao, you caught me off guard”

“I trust you passed the preliminary rounds with no trouble”

“Of course Master Hao, I won’t allow weaklings to get in the way of your perfect world”

He gave a small smile, and turned to leave.



“The rest of your team are waiting for you. Do not brood over the humans for too long, they won’t be among us for much longer”

With that he left, seemingly disappearing into thin air. 

“Yes… Master Hao”

Standing up straight, I stretched my tired and worn out muscles, it’s definitely been a long day. I sighed and stubbed out my cigarette against the skyscraper, leaving a small scorch mark on the metal. I took one last breath of fresh air, before descending down into a dark alleyway nearby. Riddled with homeless humans it reeked of week old garbage and urine, I feel sorry for the stray animals having to share such an enclosed space with such revolting creatures. Ugh, suddenly that huge hunk of metal is looking like paradise, the air is cleaner up there, full of pollution it may be but at least the stench of humans is almost unnoticeable at such a height. What a headache these humans are, I lit up another cigarette to ease growing nausea in my stomach.



Out of the corner of my eye I noticed one of the dirty little beggars eyeballing me, if he enjoys having eyes he’ll look away before I gauge them out. His eyes travelled down to the packet of cigarettes I still held in my hand, If he enjoys having a tongue he won’t ask for one either. He smiled wide, revealing infected looking gums and one rotting tooth, why he thought I would want to see something like this is beyond me. The human must’ve been in his late 80’s at least, old, decrepit, homeless and… smiling? I scoffed at him; this human and his confusing actions need not worry me. Walking out of the alleyway I heard him call;

“You shouldn’t be smoking young lady; it could damage your chances for children later on in life”

The arrogance! How dare this human comment on my life choices, what hypocrisy! As if you humans have any right to tell others what they should and shouldn’t do. I did nothing but glare at the insignificant old man, no need to act on such cheek, if old age or sickness doesn’t get to him first, Master Hao surely will. I smirked and looked back at the old man…

I hope for the later.

Ana's Fanfiction-draft (part 1)



Kuroko no basuke is a Japanese comic (called manga) following the development of a fairly young basketball team from Seirin High in Tokyo. In the manga there are six members who were part of a legendary team known as the “Generation of Miracles”, each member had an extra ordinary ability. Each member of the legendary team entered different high schools after the players stopped enjoying playing a game they once loved. The manga follows the Seirin team as each member over comes personal and physical hardships as they strive to overcome the “Generation of Miracles” and become the number one team in Japan. The manga mainly focuses on Tetsuya Kuroko, dubbed the “Phantom sixth player “from the “Generation of Miracles”, and Taiga Kagami, a teen who was raised in America with a natural talent for basketball. 

Cultural notes; People in Japan call each other by their last names until they have a deeper or long relationship. Therefore Kise and Midorima call Tetsuya Kuroko “Tetsuya” unlike Kagami who calls him “Kuroko”.  “Sempai” is a Japanese term used for an older student to show respect. 

 This fan fiction takes place between the inter-high championship and the winter cup. The characters involved are Kuroko, Kuroko #2, Kagami, Kise, and Midorima.

The autumn wind rustled through the brightly coloured leaves, Kuroko looked up from his book to see sky blue eyes staring at him expectantly. Kuroko #2, the team mascot, began to wag his tail in delight, as Kuroko got up from under the tree he’d been using as shelter from the scorching hot sun. He glided through the house, unnoticed by all except the puppy who bounded along excitedly in front of him.  Kuroko winced as he walked up the stairs towards his room. Aida-Sempai had given the team a hellish training program after their defeat at the interhigh preliminaries to Senshinkan High, after the team had suffered a crushing defeat from Touou Academy the day before, and Kuroko’s legs were still suffering.

“I wonder what Kagami-kun is doing” Kuroko asked the puppy. Kuroko #2 tilted his head to the side.

Kuroko laughed “I don’t know either, wanna go for a walk?” the puppy’s face light up and he started to bark.

 “Okay, okay, hold still” Kuroko said as he attached the lead to Kuroko #2’s collar.

"How do we look alike?" wondered Kuroko as he started at the puppy.

His team mates had named the puppy Kuroko #2 claiming that they looked like twins. Kuroko chuckled as he remembered his team mate and friend, Kagami’s reaction when he had first brought the puppy to the gym.

Walking along the quite back streets Kuroko started to walk past the local convenience store when Kuroko #2 stopped and stared at the entrance, just as Kuroko turned his head to look.

“Korocchii!” A familiar voice called out from behind him.

 Sighing Kuroko turned around “I told you to stop calling me that Kise.” 

In front of him was a boy of the same age but considerably taller. The boy called Kise brushed his blonde out of his eyes and beamed down at Kuroko

“now, now don’t look so bothered we were extremely close in middle school weren’t we?”smiled Kise

“not really” responded Kuroko.

 “Where are you headed Kurokocchii?”said Kise as he patted Kuroko's head.

Kuroko blankly starred up at Kise through his ruffled bangs. 

Suddenly the door to the convenience store opened and a boy wearing glasses stepped out onto the street.

“I thought today was meant to be my lucky day, I even brought along two sets of my lucky item.” the boy muttered as he slide his glasses further up his nose.

He glanced towards Kise and Kuroko

 “How unlucky it is that I run into you two, especially the blonde idiot.”

“What’s that supposed to mean Midorima?” yelled Kise pouting a little.

“It means that I really don’t want to see you two fools during my holiday idiot” Midorima shot back

Kuroko couldn’t help but think the exact same thing.

“Hello Kuroko” Midorima said coolly as he glanced in Kurokos direction.

Kuroko nodded, “Midorima”. 
 
Both Kise and Midorima had been members of the generation of miracles with Kuroko.

“This feels like fate” laughed Kise.

“More like misfortune” grumbled Midorima.

 Kuroko started to walk forward when he noticed that both Kise and Midorima were following him.

“Uumm what are you doing?” asked Kuroko.

 “I-I-I I just happen to be going this way too” spluttered Midorima

 “Wweelll I’m just bored and thought it would be fun to hang out since I haven’t seen you since the inter-high” said Kise with his hands behind his and grinning.

 “Speaking of which whose this little guy?” Kise knelt down and started petting Kuroko #2.

“I don’t recall you having a dog Kurokocchi” Kise paused and started at the dog, then looked at Kuroko then back to the dog and started laughing.

 “oh my god look at this Midorima!” said Kise while holding back his laughter.

“what?” responded Midorima as he slide his glasses up his nose.

“Don’t you think this dog looks a lot like Kuroko?” said Kise.

Midorima looked at the dog and then up at Kuroko; and let out a snorting sound then turned his head away and covered his mouth in a poor attempt to muffle his laughter. After regaining his composure he turned back to the group.

“A little”he calmly responded

 “What’s his name?” Kise asked as he started up at Kuroko.

 “Kuroko #2” Kuroko casually responded.

This last statement sent the two over the edge with laughter, and they laughed until they had tears in their eyes. Kuroko swiftly turned around and started to walk off hoping to leave the two behind. A few seconds later he heard the heavy sound of footsteps behind him and turned to find the two gaining on him. In a poor attempt to escape from them Kuroko turned down an unfamiliar street and picked up his pace. But within seconds the two had caught up with their long legs.

“Naaaw we’re sorry Kurokocchii, but it’s just so funny how similar you two are” panted Kise.

“I must agree with Kise on that, even though I’d rather not” remarked Midorima.
