Fire Dragons Game

On a plane heading to Japan sat a bored teenager. Said teenager was 198 cm (read: 6'6") in height with spikey salmon colored hair that reached down to his neck (read: Natsu's hair after the one year training trip). In addition he had deep onyx colored eyes with tan sun kissed skin. He wore a black short sleeved t-shirt with gold trim on the sleeves and collar, camouflage cargo shorts, black Nike socks, with black and gold Jordan Retro 7s. He also wore a gold dragon head necklace around his neck, and a gold hoop earring in his left ear. This was Natsu Dragneel.

Natsu was currently bored, scratch that very bored and he was starting to lose his mind. The only thing keeping him sane was the fact that the flight had wifi so he could use his laptop to watch basketball videos. It was also a good way to keep himself informed on the current top players in his age. Finding a decent challenge was getting difficult these days he really needed a tough opponent soon. Blowing through opposing players with ease was starting to drive him crazy. Pausing the video on his laptop he decided now was a pretty good time to text his best friend.

N: "Almost there should touch down in a couple hours"

?: "Great I'll be there to pick you up when you get here"

He smiled at the message remembering the fun times they had together before his parents decided to move to America during middle had missed her a lot after moving away even though they kept in touch with video chats and letters. Putting away his phone, he went to some articles he found earlier on his laptop about the Generation of Miracles he found them interesting especially since the last time he played with them at Teikou they were nowhere near this good. His eyes started to turn from their usual oynx to gold with reptilian like slits in the middle as he continued to read. A wide grin spread across his face as he shivered in excitement.

'Seems like I'll have some good matches when I get back' he thought to himself. Seeing he had a few hours left on his flight he decided to catch up on some much needed sleep.

-FDG-

Some time later Natsu was stretching his sore limbs as he entered the lobby of the airport. He had to admit his nap during the flight was some of the best sleep he's had in a while. Getting himself back on track he started searching for his friend that was supposed to meet him.

"It shouldn't be that hard to spot someone with blonde hair" he muttered to himself. Just as he was about take his phone to see where they were he heard someone call his name.

"Natsu! Natsu over here!" Spotting the person that had called him a fond smile overtook his features.

There was his best friend Lucy Heartfilia, blond hair that reached down to her back tied into a high ponytail, chocolate brown eyes that shimmered with happiness, and cream colored skin. She wore a black and white stripped polo shirt, blue faded jeans with holes at the knees, and black vans completed the outfit. He couldn't but help but notice at a second glance that she had filled out a lot since their childhood together; he also noticed that she had gotten taller. While he had always been taller than Lucy, she stilled reached his chest considering he was pretty tall for his age.

'Wow Lucy sure has grown up since the last time I saw her' he thought.

Lucy ran up to Natsu and hugged him happiness flowing through her. She was excited to be reunited with the person she had missed so much since he moved away to America. Letting him go she took a moment to get a good look at him. He had gotten taller while staying in America she noted; A LOT taller. She had to be at least a foot shorter than him. His jawline was more defined and the most of the baby fat he had before had left his face. His eyes were just as captivating as she remembered, dark orbs that seemed to hold mysteries within their depths. His hair was also longer than she remembered it to be but it looked attractive on him. She also noted that he had put on muscle if the tone of his biceps were any indication.

"Your hairs gotten longer" Lucy said, reaching up to play with one of the locks.

"I started growing it out a few years ago and it just kinda stuck with me", he replied noticing her apparent fascination with his longer hair.

"I like it it looks good on you" she said flashing him a dazzling smile.

"Thanks I'm glad I don't have to decide to cut it" he joked, happy that she liked his hair.

"So what do you wanna do? We could go check to see if all your stuff has been delivered to the apartment. Orrrrrrrrrr knowing you we can take a look around so you can get a decent layout of the school you'll be attending with me and check out the basketball team" Lucy said smirking.

She knew the first thing he would want to do is see team of the basketball club he was going to join.

"Ahhhhh you know me so well Luce" Natsu replied playfully.

"Well then lead the way milady".

"Ohhhhhh a gentleman now are we?"

After taking Natsu on a refresher tour around Japan, Lucy decided that it was a good time to take him to school to get a look at everything.

"Sooooo do you already have your class schedule and your locker number?" She asked; she had to when came to Natsu he tended to forget things like that if it didn't involve basketball.

"Maaaaa Lushiiiiiiiiiiii~" Natsu pouted. "I'm not a little kid anymore I made sure to get everything I needed".

"I'm sure you did Natsu, I mean its not like you EVER forgot anything" she replied giggling.

Natsu only responded by pouting more and turning his head to the side. Having turned his attention away from Lucy for the moment he noticed that they were walking past some basketball courts. He could he see two people standing there as though they had just finished a game. He was also close enough to vaguely recognize one of the two and he could hear some of their conversation.

"It's better if you give up on basketball. No matter what kind of beautiful things you can say about effort, its an undeniable fact that you need talent in our society", Kuroko stood there taking in what the redhead had to say with a blank stare."You have no talent".

Hearing that Natsu started making his way toward the court, Lucy trailing after him wondering what he was doing.

"Ara ara~", drawled a voice from behind Kagami.

"Who are you to crush ones dreams just because they might not be as talented as you?" the newcomer said.

Kuroko was shocked into silence, before him was the one person he could honestly say was on a HIGHER level than the Generation of Miracles having played with him during his time at Teikou before he moved away in the middle of their first year; he could never forget his former captain after all. Kagami turned towards the voice to see a pink haired male, who was surprisingly enough, actually taller than him.

"And just who the hell are you?"

"Natsu-kun?" Kuroko questioned.

"Oh I'm just a fellow basketball player" the pinkette replied cheerfully. "Wanna play a few games with me?"

Kuroko's eyes widened at that; while he knew Kagami to be talented the person offering the challenge was at a whole other level, and he was seriously worried about his confedience. Not everybody can handle playing against someone of his former teammates level.

"You sure about that?" Kagami smirked.

"Sure I am" Natsu replied smirking back.

He could sense that Kagami had talent and this could be a decent warm up.

"Just don't be a sore loser when I beat you". Kagami's eyebrow started to twitch trying to -and failing- ignore his opponents slightly cocky attitude.

"Tch, whatever we're playing to five" Kagami said tossing Natsu the ball.

"Haiiiiiiiii~" Natsu drawled catching the ball and dribbling it casually in his right hand. Natsu dribbled back and forth between his hands as Kagami dropped into a defensive stance.

'Hmmmm not bad his defensive posture is decent so far. Lets see how his on-ball defense is' Natsu thought.

Natsu started to walking forward speeding up his dribble.

'Alright lets see what you can do Kagami', Natsu switched the ball to his left hand and started to drive to his left before he was cut off. Taking a step back he started dribbling the ball between his legs, then spun right driving towards the hoop. Kagami came to cut him off again, stretching his hand out to knock the ball away. His fingers were inches away, when Natsu suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, dribbled back and forth twice, stepped back then pulled up for a jumper.

Kagami jumped up to block the shot but as he got close to the ball, Natsu suddenly flicked his wrist and the ball disappeared. Kagami eyes widened in surprise, 'How the hell did-'

Swish!

His eyes widened even further - if that was possible - as he turned and saw the ball, that had just disappeared a moment before, as it dropped to the ground after going through the net.

"I think that makes the score 1-0", Natsu said with a bright smile.

Kagami was confused and slightly pissed off, 'What was that shot just now?' he thought.

"How the hell did you do that?", Kagami asked.

"Maaaaaaa its a secret~", Natsu replied with a mocking smirk. "Lets finish this up I got somewhere to be."

-FDG-

"That was a good game!"

Kagami scowled heavily, pissed off with the comment, and his opponent's seemingly never ending cheery demeanor.

"You pretty much crushed him Natsu-kun", Kuroko said with a blank gaze.

"Tetsu! I thought that was you! Still as blunt as ever I see", Natsu replied with a smile.

"There wouldn't be any point in boosting his ego after a defeat like that", Kuroko shrugged.

"Ahhhhhhhh I can see your point there I guess", Natsu replied.

"We should catch up after Luce is done showing me around."

"Oh so you and Lucy-san are still friends, thats good."

"Yeah she was showing me around earlier before we spotted you guys over here."

"When you did get back to Japan, Natsu-kun?" Kuroko asked.

"Today actually, I'm supposed to be joining a school and its basketball club pretty soon", Natsu said.

"Ahhh of course, which school?"

"Does Seirin sound familiar to you?"

"Wake up Natsu! Its time to get up!"

"Ughhhh not now Pikachu, I'm still have to get all eight badges", Natsu drawled turning over in his sleep.

"Natsu Dragneel! You get out of that bed now, or I won't make that spicy curry you love so much!"

Natsu eyes shot open in panic, then proceeded to try to get out of his bed but in his state of panic, got tangled in his covers and fell to the floor with a crash. Turning toward the giggling he could hear coming from his doorway, Natsu glared at Lucy with a pout on his face.

"Rushhiiiiiiiiiiiii~" Natsu said his pout still in full view. "You could've picked a better way to wake me up you know."

"Eh its the only thing I could think of that wasn't extreme", she replied with a shrug.

"THAT wasn't extreme?!", Natsu cried anime tears streaming down his face.

Lucy sweatdropped, 'How did I get stuck looking after this idiot again?' she thought to herself. "Come on Natsu, get dressed I still have to show you around the school since I never got to show you yesterday."

"Hai hai", he replied taking off his shirt and heading towards the bathroom. Lucy blushed as she got a view of Natsu's chest.

"B-baka! Don't just take off your clothes before you even get to the bathroom!"

"Hmmmmm like something you see?"

"Pervert!"

Natsu laughed and went inside the bathroom. Lucy willed her blush to go down as she walked out of his bedroom with a sigh.

"I have a crush on a perverted basketball moron."

-FDG-

"All right let's start things off with a five on five scrimmage!" Riko Aido, Seirin's basketball coach, declared. "Freshman against the second years!"

"A scrimmage against the senpai?"

"The ones that got to the Final League with freshman!"

"Eh?! That doesn't seem fair!"

"Yosh! Sounds like that could be fun!"

"Hush you baka!"

The Seirin basketball team observed the two intruders-as far as they were concerned- arguing with each other. They first took notice of the pink haired male -hair dye maybe?- that was actually taller than the freshman Kagami. He seemed like he might be foreigner but the way he spoke Japanese proved otherwise. And even though it might have bothered them, they had to admit he was just as good looking as the person he seemed to bickering with.

His female counterpart was someone that made the first years, and even a few second years, to blush like they were in grade school. She had blond hair that reached her back in a single high ponytail, and that most charming brown eyes they had ever seen. But even though she was beautiful she still seemed to have kind and helpful personality that made her a bit more easy to approach. Everyone knew of the ever popular Lucy Heartfilia even though she was only a freshman.

Kagami on the other hand was beyond pissed. "You bastard!"

"Hmmm? Ah, Tai-chan! Tetsu!"

"Don't you 'Tai-chan' me you son ova-"

"Hello Natsu-kun, Lucy-san" Kuroko interrupted before Kagami could make scene.

Riko recognized the blonde haired idol of the freshman -even though shes one herself- and decided to ask about her friend.

"Excuse me Heartfilia-san, only club members are allowed in here".

"I apologize Aida-san. But my bone-head friend here-" she choose this moment to send Natsu a glare, that he shrugged off with a grin, "decided he wanted to check out the basketball club he's going to join."

Riko eyes widened as she looked over at her kouhai's friend. To say she was interested was an understatement, especially with the stats she was getting off him.

"So he's planning on joining then?" she asked.

"Hai he's been playing basketball since we were six. And he's currently playing for the team at the school he's attending now."

Riko gained even more interest after hearing that. "If its okay to ask what school does he attend now?"

"Hmmm I'm not sure exactly but its a school on the west coast in America."

Riko smiled at that. "Ahhhhhh I see well whats his name? And is he a freshman like you?"

"Its Natsu Dragneel. He doesn't like to called by his surname though and yes he's a freshman."

Suddenly a loud yell caught their attention. "Hey! Coach! Can you officiate? I haven't able to cut loose in a while, and I wanna see how good my teammates are.'' Hyuga Junpei, a teenager with glasses and the current captain, walked over the coach with a questioning gaze.

"He must be really confident or he's an cocky idiot."

"From what I gathered from Heartfilia-san, its definitely the former."

Hyuga glanced over at the pinkette before turning back to Riko. "Really now?" She nodded, "Heartfilia-san said he was planning on joining for the rest of his high school career."

"Are you sure you want him to play though? He's not even enrolled yet." Hyuga asked.

Riko nodded, "Yeah I'm sure. He's taller than Kagami which is already a plus, and from what I can see with his clothes on his potential is even more through the roof than Kagami's. And from what I can tell he seems to know Kuroko."

Hyuga's eyes widen in realization at that. "Which means he might've came from Teikou."

Riko nodded again, "Exactly also we kill two birds with one stone, we test our freshman and we see how good he is."

Hyuga heaved out a tired sigh, he couldn't really argue with that, and he did want to see how talented this new freshman was. "I guess you got a point" he said.

Riko gave him a small smile, "I know."
