~*Chapter 101*~
Misaki gave Midorima a reassuring pap; who was blushing red with embarrasement and Takao was grinning at this. As they got off, Miyaji and the others were teasing him which rose the embarrasement as Misaki and the others laughed a bit.
After calming down, Misaki took a swig of water and spoke into the microphone. "Okay, Touou! It's your turn!" she spoke, raising her fist in the air. "First up, this song is called by "Brand New Season" and will be sung by…. Momoi Satsuki!" she pipped as everyone blinked. They didn't expect Momoi to sing as the pink headed girl hopped onto the stage. She had tied her hair into a pony tail and she looked nervously at Misaki who merely nodded and smiled.
She took in a deep breath and with a nod, the song begun. The piano piece could be heard pretty easily as Akashi merely played with a small smile.
atsufuku wo kaze kugutte miageru sora sukitooru hizashi
Bara-bara no TEAM ni natte hajimete no kisetsu ga kurunda ne
As the breeze passes through our summer clothes, looking up the sky and the transparent sunshine
The first season since our team split up is coming
Minna seichou shiteru koushin sareru DATA
Hanarete itatte shitteru
Hayaku aitai keredo tsugi wa chigau BENCH da ne
Fukuzatsu na kao shimatte
The data updates as everyone grows
I know that even though we're apart
Though I want to see you soon, next time we'll be on different benches
Making such a complex expression
Itsumo kono toki wo seiippai watashi mo ganbaranakucha
Onaji basho ni tatte itai
Dare no sasaemo iranai nante samishii serifu
Iwasenai youni
Every time like this with all my might, I've also got to give it my all
I want to stand in the same place as you
So that you won't say such lonely words,
As not needing anyone else's support
Otoko no ko tte taihen ne tsuyoi kuse ni sensai dattari
Kare no koto ki ni naru keredo aitsu mo hotte okenakute
Boys are so problematic, so strong and yet so delicate
Though I'm worried about him, I can't even leave him alone either
Kakechigatta botan wo muzukashiku shiteru no wa
Nani ga warui to ka ja nai no
Ima wa shikata nakute mo kitto wakari aeru kara
Mada mimamotte isasete
Mismatched buttons making things difficult
Are not so bad
Though reluctantly, now I'm sure we can understand
Let me continue to watch over you
Itsuka daisuki datta egao de atsumareru hi ga kitara naa
Negatte shimau yo, dame ka na
Zutto issho ni tatakatte iru tsumori de watashi
Minna to ita kara
I'm sure in time, the day will come when we can all gather with the smiles I love so much
I wonder if it's hopeless to wish for such a thing
Since I intended to always fight together
With everyone here
Itsumo kono toki wo seiippai watashi mo ganbaranakucha
Onaji basho ni tatte itai
Every time like this with all my might, I've also got to give it my all
I want to stand in the same place as you
Itsuka daisuki datta egao de atsumareru hi ga kitara naa
Negatte shimau yo, dame ka na
Kaze wa mata sukoshi iro wo kaete tsugi no kisetsu he
Ugoki hajimeter~
I'm sure in time, the day will come when we can all gather with the smiles I love so much
I wonder if it's hopeless to wish for such a thing
The breeze is still slightly changing colors to the next season
It's started to move
Everyone clapped at Momoi's singing and was surprised that were voice was less pitch than her normal voice and it was softer. The pink haired girl of Touou blushed and hurried off the stage as Misaki clapped a long. She might not like the girl much but she had to give credit to her.
Misaki set her guitar down, her body ready to move. "Alright! Now, I'm pretty sure who you guys are waiting for and hold on a minute, please." She said with a closed smile.
With a hop off the stage, she took off running and they heard a curse in the distance and they all stared wide-eyed at the door she just left.
They heard more colourful curses as they saw Misaki slam the door open, pulling Aomine by the scruff of the neck. "What the fuck, let me go! How the fucking hell are you so strong, you tiny shit?!"
Misaki twitched as she laughed a bit, "Too late to back out now Ahomine." She said, everyone snickering at the nick-name.
With that, Misaki got Aomine onto the stage as the tanned player scratched the back of his neck, grumbling to himself. Nevertheless, he got ready to sing.
With three taps to the floor, Misaki started by playing a guitar solo. As soon the drums started, Aomine sung.

Don't disappoint me that much, alright?

If you want to say something, say it after you beat me
The results have been all positive to me
This is probably the answer, I've had enough of this
Are you not feeling hopeless?
In my game

Come here honestly and be careful, it'll be decided soon enough
Are you being a little serious? Or not at all?

No matter who comes at me, they cannot stop me
No matter who comes at me, they will not hold me down
This is reality, you're wasting your efforts
You're in my direction, move out of the way
It's my game
When the music died down, everyone gaped a bit as Aomine hurried off the stage with a red face. Misaki threw her guitar pick to the side; completely ruined after so much use and dug into her pocket, holding another. Kagami was teasing Aomine with the rest of Touou while Momoi was reassuring him.
"Ahem-" said Misaki, drawing eveyrone's attention. "It's not just over just yet, Aomine!" she said as Kuroko got up as Aomine muttered in his hand.
Everyone stared confused as she nodded to Himuro who switched her electric guitar with an acoustic one. She had to sit this one down with a stool as she smirked. "This song is called "Ray of Shine" and will be sung by Tetsu and Aomine!"
Misaki begun to pick her guitar for the first few seconds before the rest of them sung. After 20 seconds, Aomine sung first.

During the whole song, Aomine was smiling just a bit and everyone was surprised at this but they didn't say anything and smiled along while Misaki was tilting left and right, with the music. Kuroko was also smiling abit, sneaking a glance at both Aomine and Misaki, happy to be on stage with them.
Misaki begun to pick at the last minute and it slowly drifted off. Everyone cheered and clapped at the song as Aomine quickly disappeared and Kuroko smiled at Misaki who did the same. With the two off the stage, Misaki got her electric guitar again and spoke into the microphone.
"Now this next song is called, "Zero Game" and will be sung by Murasakibara Atsushi and Himuro Tatsuya of Yosen!" she chirped, the two walking on. "Just so you know, Murasakibara wouldn't sing unless Tatsuya didn't sing with him." Earning a few laughs and a sheepish smile from Himuro. Murasakibara placed a hand on her hand and messed it up, the girl twitching and slapping his hand away.
The song begun to start as the two started.
Yeah Yeah Yeah…

Everyone blinked as they clapped, not expecting this as the two got off. Midorima was about to switch with Akashi as he descended down the stairs of the stage as Misaki nodded at her friends. They all nodded back as Ava appeared. Midorima was surprised as she took his place as Misaki looked at everyone. "Ah…For this last song, I'm dedicating this song for not just for our senpais but also for everyone else- including the Generation of Miracles."
Everyone stared at her confused as she continued, "This song is called 'Mukashi Mukashi no Kyou no Boku' (Once Upon A Me). Enjoy."
(WATCH THIS: watch?v=KfP2uBtmo3o&list=LLEfK8RSTW5L3R5UR-DmyQg&index=64 it's the song below)

Please hang out with me for just a little while
And please listen to this slightly (?) gloomy song
My reflection in the mirror yesterday truly resembles myself today
It was sad it was frustrating and it was painful
But no one cared to listen to me
So my knees were my only friend
My tears falling down drops after drops have reached someone, somewhere
"Say, do you know that your heart is only visible to people other than you?"
Right now, as I'm heading toward tomorrow
I can hear some familiar voices
Saying "See you again tomorrow," waving both hands
And saying "Do your best" to my back
As I break into a run on the asphalt surface
I can feel my warm tears soaking into my skin
So bye-bye "myself today from once upon a time"
Please hang out with me once again
Now that I've gotten slightly more positive
Does my heart look like it's twinkling?
Was it sad? Was it frustrating? It was painful, that's for sure
But please don't say that no one cares to listen to you
My friend
Your tears falling down drops after drops have reached me today
"Come on, it's all right! I'm looking at your heart"
Right now, as you're heading toward tomorrow
I shouted with a familiar voice
Saying "See you again tomorrow," waving both my hands
And saying "Do your best" to your back
Sending along my twinkling heart
Which has broken into a run
So bye-bye "myself today from once upon a time"
Please hang out with me just a little more
This time, it's my turn to be of help
To all the people who have supported me
When I felt like crying just a little
It was sad it was frustrating and it was painful
But you always looked at me and listened to me
So it's my turn this time
As you struggle, unable to swim in the sea made of your tears falling drops after drops
I can sing for you the magic spell "It's all right," and that will be a lifebuoy for your heart
Right now, I'm heading toward tomorrow with you
Hand in hand, toward tomorrow
As I listen to the many voices
I've held close to my back
We start crying at the same time
Showing each other our warm hearted smile
So bye-bye "myself today from once upon a time"
Throughout the whole song, Misaki was smiling and looked to be on the brink of tears as Kuroko gripped his chest. In one song, jampacked all the feelings he had for all those years. Kagami knew why Misaki sang this song instead of making her own- it was to convey the feelings that Kuroko had pent up in himself and it was meant for the others- the GOM- what he had to endure and emerged out happy. He snuck a glance at everyone and the GOM stared at Misaki and Kuroko; knowing why she sang this song. The others, stared in surprise at Misaki and some were prickling tears.
Throughout, the party after the singing, was lively. Everyone was enjoying every second, complementing or teasing the singers as Misaki smiled. Photos were taken, capturing every minute. Misaki lowered her camera and smiled sadly at the scene in front of her. She wondered if she should forget taking pictures and enjoy the party but if she didn't, she would regret it. Well, either which, I regret some things that I wished and shouldn't have done.
Kuroko saw the look of her face and disappeared within the crowds to go to her. Kagami saw this but merely smiled a bit to himself and tried directing everyone's attention away from the two. He wasn't used to the two becoming an item but on the other hand, it was perfect.
"Misaki?" spoke Kuroko softly, dragging the girl back to reality as she looked at her partner in many senses.
"Yes, Tetsu?" she asked, cocking her head to the side. Kuroko slid his hand behind her neck and tilted her, bringing his face towards her. Misaki closed her eyes and smiled, enjoying the evident vanilla milkshake. It was a wonder to her; how did he taste like Vanilla Milkshake so much even though he didn't reach any today?
They separated and Kuroko slid his arm around Misaki's waist, the two looking at the party. Izuki made a bad joke and Kiyoshi did the same while Hyuuga and Riko hit them both on the head for the joke. Nevertheless, they all laughed.
"I'm going to miss them." Spoke Misaki.
Kuroko looked at her, "We can always call each other and meet up." He spoke.
Misaki shook her head with a small smile. "It's not that. I mean, I'm going to miss the times we spent together. From playing basket, going to the Hot springs, the beach…. Everyday was filled with so much memories. There were so many things I wanted all of us to do together and now…? I guess I kind of regret not doing them."
Kuroko smiled a bit at her, kissing the top of her head. "Well, there is one thing that we can do."
"Huh?" wondered Misaki, completely clueless what he meant. He smiled to himself as he covered her hands with his and walked forward, pulling her along. "Whoa- Tetsu!" she piped.
The two were close to the Seirin group as Kuroko spoke up, "Everyone, can you spare us a moment, please?"
Of course, everyone jumped at the sudden voice as everyone looked at him. "KUROKO!"
Miskai had a sneaking suspicion that Kuroko enjoyed sneaking behind everyone's back and scaring them. She saw the small sparkle and twitch of the corner of his lips before returning her attention back at the group.
"W-what is it, Kuroko?" asked Hyuuga, trying to calm down his racing heart.
"Misaki-san and I have something to tell you." He spoke, everyone turning their attentions at the phantom player.
"Something to tell us?" asked Riko, "What do you mean?" All of the Generation of Miracles (including Momoi) flinched and their senpais looked at them weirdly. They knew what he was going to do. Akashi sighed a bit to himself and placed a hand to his head, shaking his head with a smile small. 'Ha…it seems Kuroko has a tendency to surprise everyone when we least expect it.' Reo and the others stared at him in utter confusion as the attention was returned back to the duo.
Kuroko grabbed Misaki's arm, shocking everyone as she let out a yelp, before everyone dropped their mouths. Kagami face-palmed himself but he jolted himself out before returning his attention back at his brother, Himuro; who was radiating a killing aura. Everyone had a mixture of reactions as they saw Kuroko kissing Misaki right in front of them. A smile appeared on her lips unconsciously and when she realized what was going on, her face started to turn into different shades of red.
They separated as Misaki's face was completely red and she was gaping like a fish. "Kuroko…." Growled a couple of people in the room; such as Himuro (no duh), Hyuuga, Riko, Akashi (again), Kagami (for some reason), and so forth as Kuroko merely blinked before taking off as he tried ot reach for Misaki but Mitobe grabbed her-by the orders of Koganei and Hyuuga- as Kuroko had a shadow drop over his face. He took off running as Kiyoshi merely laughed and congratulated Misaki who was covering her face.
After a while, considering everyone doddy piling Kuroko and everyone having their turn at Misaki and Kuroko, everyone had gradually gone to the party and Misaki smiled as she and Kuroko's fingers intwined with each other. Kuroko kissed her again quickly before Misaki kissed him again. They smiled a bit before they leaned against each other.
"Love you Amaya Misaki." Spoke Kuroko as Misaki looked at him.
"Love you too, Kuroko Tetsuya, my phantom player." She said, grinning.
"Oi!" yelled Kagami, getting the attention of the two. "Hurry up and get back here! We're cutting the cake!"
"Got it!" yelled Misaki as she hurried forward, pulling Kuroko along- ready to create more memories and play more basketball together.
~*The End*~
Note From Me:
Oh.
My.
Gawd!
Finally…finally….the final chapter! ASdkasdhakjsdhakda- okay, sorry for that! :D
So, those who have been long followers of this story since the beginning, thank you so very much for bearing with my grammatical errors, spelling, hiatuses, craziness, mistakes, and so forth. Those who 'recently' started following this, you may be like "What? It's over?!"
Yes, it's over. Sadly and happily.
I started writing this since November 11, 2012. And now it's September 18, 2014. Gawd, two years of writing and 101 chapters. Considering, I tried to do my best as a Fanfiction writer- writing chapters and posting them regularly for you; the readers, to read and not be like those Fanfiction writers who post a few chapters, stop writing for a long while to post a chapter; leaving you to forget the plot was or completely leaving the readers hanging. A lot has happened over these two years and I feel relieved and sad to be finished with this story.
So, with that….
Thank you so much for all of the appreciate reviews, the favorites and following that appeared in my e-mail account. It was always such a joy seeing them every time! :33 I was even surprised to the people out there who put this story in communities! I never expected that too ever happen. If you guys- ever by chance- do fanart of this, let me know! I really, really, really want to see! :D
You guys have been awesome and until next time,
