I cannot stop my overflowing addiction towards KnB so please... bear with me.
I used to hate Kise because he was really annoying. Now, I'm head over heels in love with that playboy jerk. D: He's so full of himself, it kills me. UGH WHY SO PERFECT?
Anyways, please bear with me.
I DO NOT OWN KNB.
I only own Gale-chan~
Kasamatsu had no idea what to do. They had to keep going, that's for sure. Even though they are currently taking a break from basketball, he knew they shouldn't be in a break for too long. He groaned as he walked along the hallways of the school, leading to the first floor lobby. "Let's see… though there are no basketball games coming up for us… we still need to at least warm ourselves up…" He said, yawning. He skidded down the stairs, and finally reached the first floor lobby. He was suddenly taken aback at what he saw.
All over the bulletin board were identical consecutive posters and flyers. "W-what is this…" His eyes gazed past the many posters until he stopped at the last poster, which was still currently being posted. He blinked in confusion, staring at the small girl who had her back turned. He slowly walked toward her, ignoring the fact that her hair looked like the northern lights due to its purplish blue hue. "Ah… excuse me…" He cleared his throat. "Hmm? Oh, hi, captain!" She held out her right hand to her forehead, saluting him. Her icy blue eyes sparkled with delight and she had a smile on her face. Kasamatsu blushed at the recognition. "Y-you know who I am?" His eyes darted to the ribbon. Now that she's facing him, her ribbon looked more like cat ears. "Of course I do! Ya-chan told me all about you and the Kaijo team!" She held out her two index fingers in front of her.
Kasamatsu was a bit too surprised to see someone greet him so lively. "And… you are?" He asked, scratching the back of his head. "Shiro-desu! But that's not my real name!" The young girl's ribbon twitched as if they were real cat ears. Kasamatsu just stared at her with wide eyes and a very confused look on his face. "My real name is Galanthus! My friends call me Gale. But you're Japanese so you can just call me Shiro! Or Yuki! 'Galanthus' is the scientific name of the snowdrop flower. 'Yuki' means 'snow'. And 'snow' is 'white'. 'Shiro' means 'white'!" She said excitedly, as if she was so proud of having many different names. "Ya-chan said my school's basketball team is a great team. Your team is not like the other teams because you have great teamwork!"
Kasamatsu wasn't sure how to react to that lively description via a hyper girl saying it with pure bliss. "Y-Ya-chan?" He asked, wondering if this girl has loose screws in her head. Kasamatsu was never the type to interact comfortably around women, knowing that he would only stutter and shake in nervousness, but at this point, he wasn't even sure how to react to this unusual girl standing about 5 foot 2 inches tall and is currently fangirling over the Kaijo basketball team. How did the topic get from her name to the Kaijo team? "Kuroko Tetsuya! You don't know him? He's my cousin!" The topic abruptly changed from Kaijo to Kuroko. Kasamatsu wondered if there was an end to her talking. "He's really cool! My cousin can take advantage of his weakness, which is his lack of presence, to something very deadly! Don't take your eyes off of him if you wanna win!" Now Kasamatsu was sure that this girl does have a loose screw in her head. They've just met today. Why does she keep talking as if they were two close pals who haven't seen each other for years?
He was about to walk away when he felt a hand tug his shirt. He sighed and proceeded to massage his temples. "Waaaaaiiiiit! Captain, I'm not done yet! You have to listen to this! Ya-chan has a new move! You can stop him, right? I can't wait to see Seirin and Kaijo go against each other again!" She just kept on talking. Can't she even read the atmosphere that Kasamatsu is going to be late for his next period? He then wondered if he could trick this girl into leaving. "… You should go back to posting up posters and flyers, you know." He managed to say, even if he was aware that the bulletin board is already tampered by the same poster. "Oh, that's right! Well, see you, Captain!" The young girl skidded past the lobby and disappeared out of Kasamatsu's sight. "… For some reason, I still feel the tension even if she already left." He sighed before going back to class.
"BASKETBALL! BASKETBALL! I wanna see Ko-chan shoot some hoops!" A young girl ranted. "B-but, he can't shoot, right?" Her companion answered. The two of them looked odd together, knowing that their appearances were so different from each other. "I cut my afternoon classes, you know! I had to visit you here, you know! I wanted to see how Kurocchi is doing!" the other girl suddenly burst, her eyes gleaming as if it was the actual night sky with dozens of stars.
As the two girls walked on the road, they didn't notice a group of young men watching them from behind, embarrassed. "… Kuroko please tell those fangirls of yours to at least try not to yell out your many nicknames so proudly…" Hyuuga was face-palming. "I didn't know you had pretty cute fans, Kuroko. Lucky!" Kiyoshi patted Kuroko's back. Kuroko sighed heavily. "… 'Ko-chan'? 'Kurocchi'? Hey… they're making it sound like you're their pet." Kagami found himself close to bursting into laughter.
"… I don't know them."
"EH?"
Kasamatsu was sitting on the bench with very menacing aura. "O-oi… Kise, do something…" Moriyama urged with a cool look on his face. Dread immediately appeared in Kise's eyes. "W-w-why me? There's a huge chance that I get kicked on the face no matter what I say!" The freshman complained. They all looked at Kasamatsu once again. His aura was like that of the Grim Reaper. "… I can hear you, idiots." He said as his eyes turned to them. Each and every one of them started shaking. Kasamatsu stood up, sighing. "… That was just a brief moment but I felt tired entering that girl's high tension atmosphere…" He mumbled as he walked past them. Kise and Moriyama froze in their places. "Did he say… 'girl'?" Moriyama asked. "SENPAI! Congratulations! Did you finally get a girlfriend? Hey, who is it? Tell me the details!" Kise suddenly went all hyperactive, nudging Kasamatsu with his elbow. He only got kicked as a response. "IDIOT! That wasn't what I meant!" The captain yelled, causing more tension.
When it seemed like everything has already calmed down, Kasamatsu cleared his throat. "There's this odd freshman who calls herself Kuroko's cousin around the school." He started. "Kuroko's cousin? They why was she here in Kaijo? Shouldn't she be—wait… is she cute?" Moriyama asked. "IS SEARCHING FOR CUTE GIRLS YOUR ONLY HOBBY? Anyways, HOW THE HECK WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHY SHE'S IN KAIJO?" Kasamatsu yelled once again. Kise and Moriyama almost grabbed onto each other out of shock. "But she did mention something about Kuroko's deadly technique or whatever. I wasn't sure if she was joking. All I know is, her endless talking made me tired for the rest of the day." Kasamatsu sheepishly bit his lip and sighed. "You can go home now, if you want. Practice is over!" He announced before grabbing his bag and heading to the changing room.
In the changing room, he wasn't expecting a towel to come flying towards him. Kasamatsu looked at the door to see Kise, grinning like an idiot. "What?" The captain asked, flinging the towel over his shoulder. "I thought you didn't know how to interact with the ladies? It seems you got along well with that cousin of Kurokocchi." Kise teased, not noticing a shoe flying to his direction, hitting him on the head. He clutched his head in pain. "Shut up! Geez…" Kasamatsu hissed. Kise went back to smiling like an idiot. "I never knew Kurokocchi had a cousin studying here. Same year as me, too! Hmm… maybe she's one of my fans or—" "She is not your fan, Kise. She spoke to me as if she was a fan of everybody." Kasamatsu cut him off before the blonde could finish talking. That statement surprised Kise. Usually, some girls in school only watch them play when Kise is on court. But… was there really a girl who seemed like she was a fan of everybody?
When they both finished changing back to their uniforms, Kasamatsu tossed the towel back to Kise. " I didn't even use that towel. By the way, if you're wondering about that girl… I think her name was Shi— no, wait… was it Yuki? Gale? Galanthus? She mentioned too many names, I can't recall which one's her real name." He said, his head hurting from taking in too much info from the girl. Kise just stood there, his face filled with confusion.
The Seirin team was always walking home together. It was rare for them to leave at least one member behind. "About those two girls who were screaming Kuroko's obvious nicknames… I wonder what has gotten into their minds that made them want 'to see Kuroko shoot some hoops'." Riko brought out the topic after noticing the tense atmosphere. "Did you see their eyes? Even from afar, I could tell how night and day clashed whenever they made eye contact with each other." Koganei commented. Kagami's eyes darted to Kuroko, who was carrying Tetsuya No. 2 so calmly. "… You don't know them, right? You said so yourself." He asked the blue-haired young man. Kuroko stared back at him. "I don't." Kuroko only managed to say. "Then wh—" "YA-CHAAAAN!"
Everyone turned around in bewilderment to see a young girl running towards them in a very, very lively manner. "It's a surprise to see you walk home alone so late." Kuroko walked towards her, leaving his companions in a state of confusion. "Hey… don't tell me that's Kuroko's real girlfriend?" Hyuuga whispered. "W-what? But he already has Momoi, right?" Izuki whispered back. "Not to mention… those two girls who were talking about him in school today…" Kiyoshi mentioned with a serious expression on his face. Mitobe just nodded. "W-wait… how many girls can he get?" Hyuuga was already panicking. Riko just stared at them with a face that says 'I-am-surrounded-by-idiots'.
"Hey! How's practice? Hey, I heard you have a lot of fangirls now!" Everyone's attention was focused on the young girl. Her eyes were so much like Kuroko's… except hers were like ice. "Well, I did see two girls…" Kuroko mentioned, which made the young girl tilt her head. "Oh? You should have said 'hi'!" The young girl scolded him. "… Only girlfriends scold their boyfriends, right?" Izuki asked his fellow teammates once again. "Y-yeah! That means she's—"
Kuroko turned to his companions. "… This is my cousin, Gale." He motioned towards the young girl. "It's a pleasure meeting you!" She bowed down, leaving very dumbfounded expressions on everyone's faces.
