First Break

10.30

Seirin High - School Rooftop

Today was actually monday, the very day that almost more than half people would go groaning about. The reason was very simple, indeed. What is it? Oh, of course that is because people start their own daily activities that day until friday. The holy cycle of living.

Well, a part of it, there was more than that, actually.

"...What is this?"

A light-blue haired boy suddenly spoke up. His eyes were narrowed down, but he had no expression at all.

"Like I tell you, Kurokocchi! It's a pure coincidence, really!"

A blonde haired boy replied in defense. He was waving his hands in dismissal way, but one could tell that he was panicking over something.

"Hell no! You're [all] here for something, aren't you!?"

A tall ferocious boy pointed his hand accusingly, supporting the shorter boy's statement. It was a first break on the first day in the week, so not everyone was present there. Heck, they were all on the top of school's roof, which was why.

"Even the dumbest person on Earth could tell, Kise-kun." Kuroko bluntly said. Kise nodded in agreement, though.

"What the hell was that, Kuroko!?"

"Tch, I could care less." A tanned boy spoke up from behind, yawning all the way. His school uniform was already in mess, along with his dark blue hairs. "I want to sleep."

"Don't sleep, you idiot! Explain!"

"I'm sleepy, so I sleep. If I want to eat, then I eat. That's Japanese motto, dumbass." The boy called Aomine retorted back while rolling his eyes. "Ask the other."

"Mhm, askh hhe ohher." A tall, large boy spoke while munching on something. "Mheansh, hon'th askh mhe heitherh."

"Gross." A light green haired boy muttered while fixing his glasses position with his tapped fingers. "Finish eating first, Murasakibara."

"I khnowh." The one called Murasakibara nodded before gulping it down. Midorima sighed in defeat seeing this.

Kagami sweat dropped at the sight. "I told you to explain!"

"Shut up, Kagami." Midorima retorted back simply. "Ask Akashi. It's only a day anyway, so why bother?"

"That's not it!" Kagami shouted back. "I'm asking why of all people in your school, why do you, damn Generation of Miracles, have to be here!?"

"Like hell we know."

All four of them were saying the same thing with different expressions each other. Kise with pouting, Aomine with yawning, Midorima with turning his head, and Murasakibara with bored expression.

And the tiger was running amok. What a hectic morning indeed. Well, it was all started in the morning.

08.10

Seirin High - First Year Corridor

It was a normal day in summer. A first day of school after two weekdays. A sound of winds bristling was heard through Kuroko who strangely looked as usual. He was the master of poker face, it seemed. Even today was a normal, peaceful day as usual; if you don't count the training session after school.

Kuroko was walking through the hallway to his class before suddenly, he heard something interesting. Well, not exactly interesting enough since he was apparently forced to hear it all.

"Ne, ne, does everyone know?" A girl with ponytail asked her friends in merry way. The girls were crowding the hallway, making him hard to go to his class. Worst, his plea couldn't be heard by them.

"Umm-"

A girl with glasses replied with a curious tone, "Why is it? You seem happy today? Is there good news?"

"Oh, you can't believe it!" The braided girl that came with the ponytail girl replied. "We saw a pretty guy here, today! In front of this school! He's accompanied by tall, handsome high-schoolers too!"

"-Can you guys-"

"...Are you either day-dreaming or what?" The boyish girl replied with a groan. "Wake up, wake up! It's monday already!"

"-Please step-"

"Mou, it's true! You have to see them yourselves!" The braided girl replied back. "They're wearing different uniforms, but it seems that they're waiting for someone else!"

"Ne, ne, do you think they had a girlfriend here?"

"Eeeh!? I don't want thaaat~"

"Okay...you guys seriously need some whack to the brain." The boyish girl rolled her eyes.

"-I want to-"

The glasses girl suddenly said, "Wait! Didn't sensei say that there will be some exchange, err, students from another school?"

"Ha, geeky might be right..." The ponytail girl replied back cheerfully.

"-Please step-"

"Don't call me geek!"

"What is this, Kuroko?" A tall, muscular man from America suddenly spoke up behind the chattering girls. They immediately jolted suddenly. "Why are you here?"

"Kagami-kun." The boy calmly said his partner who wore a mess school's uniform. "I just want to go to the class."

"Oh, so these girls are making you wait outside, huh." Kagami replied nonchalantly. In an instant, the girls' faces were red of humility. After saying an apology to Kuroko, they immediately went off somewhere while murmuring something like 'I didn't see him', 'that Kagami is a rude boy', etc.

Kagami was practically ignored them but Kuroko punched his stomach lightly. Kagami shouted in defense, "What the hell was that for, Kuroko!? At least, say thank you!"

"Thank you." Kuroko said with no expression at all. "But you could say it better..."

"What?"

"No, it's alright, Kagami-kun." Kuroko added while nodding, "Only sensitive people know."

First Period

08.30

Seirin High - Class 1-A

After the bell rang three times, the students were practically staying in their own class, waiting for the teacher to come in. Since the Principal was sick today, there wasn't a morning ceremony, school radio said. Kagami was still in the middle of conversation with Kuroko about basketball. When in conversation, Kuroko found out that his classmates were mostly absent. From 20 students in class, only around 10 were present.

"Is this because of the unusual golden weeks?" Kuroko pointed out while glancing his surroundings. Kagami was sitting in front of his table; a sandwich was once on his hands.

Kagami muttered unconsciously, "If I know that they're absent, I'd better stay at home too. I'm all sore for sure!"

"Mou, you can't do that." Kuroko stabbed his hands with his mechanical pencil. "You'll be killed the next day you came by Coach for missing a practice."

A vein popped up from Kagami's head. Kagami flicked Kuroko's forehead in annoyance, "Stop that! Don't you know it's hurt!?"

"I don't know. I haven't try it. Is it?"

"Hell, try it yourself, stupid!" Kagami hissed out loud. He then muttered lowly, "It's that damn retarded Aomine's fault you've become this ferocious!"

"It's not Aomine-kun's fault." Kuroko stabbed his cheek with his own mechanical pencil again. "...Maybe."

"KU...RO...KO!"

Subject: Meet me

At 8.15 AM in front of Tetsuya's school. There's something I'd like to tell you guys. Just for your information, I had sent a letter of sickness to your headmasters.

07.40

Shutoku High - Class 1-5

Being a model student, Midorima Shintaro was already present in the school. He was filling some rolling attendance, as expected of the leader in the class. Though, when he received Akashi's e-mail soon after that, he yelped a little, earning few glances from his classmates. Midorima ignored them, but he couldn't ignore Akashi's e-mail, right?

So the first thing he did was gathering his school utilities and quietly went outside his class. Thankfully, no one noticed his absence right away. He then peacefully slid the door. But that was way before his current partner, Takao Kazunari, was standing there in front of the sliding door, startling him.

"T-Takao?"

With yawning, Takao greeted him. "Good morning, Shin-chan~!"

"R-right... Good morning." Midorima groggily replied, hiding his bag behind his tall, muscular body.

Takao's eyebrow raised, Shin-chan never answers his morning greetings. He leaned forward his partner; his sleepy attitude had gone off. "What's wrong with you, Shin-chan? Got a flu? Something's wrong? Oh, I get it! Is today your bad day in Oha-Asa! Yes, that must be it!"

"What nonsense are you blabbering about?" Came in Midorima quick reply. He raised an eyebrow. "Don't stay in front of the door saying nonsense, Takao."

"Mou, Shin-chan!" Takao pouted in his defense. He walked inside the classroom, passing some students. "That's because you're weird today..."

When his head turned back, he saw nothing but gust of winds. And later when Takao searched around the school, Midorima was nowhere to be found.

I'm sick. I can't attend today's practice. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Aomine Household - Daiki's Bedroom

Aomine was actually still brushing his teeth, much to his annoyance. When his childhood friend, Momoi Satsuki, wake him up from his uninnocent dream with Mai-chan, he could care less about today's school. If only the pink haired manager didn't threaten him to burn his porn magazines, of course.

"Damn that witch." Was Aomine's short comment to his only female friend.

So when Aomine had a chance to run from his not-so-daily routine, he had no objection indeed. He pretended to attend the school. Of course, that wasn't so easy since the certain manager always staying with him. Sometimes Aomine wonders that she has no better things to do but to be his nanny.

"Daaaiii-chaaaan! Hurry up will you!?"

A knock on his bedroom made him jolted once again. Oh, he knew damn too well about whose voice it was. That pink haired witch.

"Fine! I'm done anyway!"

Though, when they arrived downstairs, his mother was saying unnecessary thank you for his childhood friend. And of course, Satsuki would always respond with bright smiles and politely as ever. Why won't she do that to him once in his life!? Well, that was because he needed it, anyway.

When they both had arrived in Touou High, Momoi suddenly remembered that she had to go to the school's gymnasium, much to Aomine's gladness. Seeing this as his last chance of the day, the tanned boy ran off from his school to catch the train to Seirin High. But he still left a message to his childhood friend, just to make sure that she won't run amok after he went home today.

From: Aomine Daiki

To: Momoi Satsuki

Subject: None

Satsuki, I need to go to Tetsu's school. Dunno why, ask Akashi for details. Don't come here! And don't wait me there after school!

Road to Kaijo High

"Yosh, finally back to ordinary days!" Kise exclaimed happily when he was walking to his school. Of course, he took another route to school since his fans were already knew his usual route. He couldn't afford being late in school, right? Though, he didn't reject being surrounded by pretty girls. When he saw the clear blue sky, he suddenly remembered of the certain nonexistent friend.

"Man, I missed everyone..."

Without his knowing, Kise muttered it. When he came into senses, he smiled wryly. It had been weeks since they met again. Of course, 'they' referred to his late middle school friends; Generation of Miracles with an addition of the certain Tiger. Well, after the Hokkaido incident, they somehow bonded as friends. Only God knows why.

Kise almost arrived to his school, Kaijo High, that Monday morning. But when he got a (threat) e-mail from the certain Captain of Rakuzan, he couldn't do anything in his defense. Instead, he texted his basketball club's senpai, Kasamatsu Yukio, for being absent for just a day.

Glee with meeting his friends again, especially the shorter boy, he turned his way back to the train. Even after being a high-schooler, Kise was still carefree about his educational needs...such a good student, indeed. Though, he couldn't miss the first train, right?

From: Kise Ryota

To: Kasamatsu Yukio

Subject: Practice

Ne, ne, Kasamatsu-senpai~ /(^~^)/ I'm sorry that I can't attend practice today (._.) There's...something I have to do. Ja nee! (^o^)/~

Road to Yosen High

"That's 1400 Yen, thank you very much!"

A tall, lean, giant boy nodding while taking the plastic bag from the shopkeeper while drinking a grape juice in a purple plastic tube. And such, his plastic bag consisted of nothing but snacks, jelly, and colorful juices in tubes. When he went from the convenient store, he was greeted by a Yosen High-schooler.

"Good morning."

"...Good morning." Was Murasakibara's first answer before adding, "Muro-chin, what are you doing here?"

"I'm just passing by." Himuro Tatsuya chuckled. "You really bought a lot."

"Hmm." Murasakibara hummed playfully. "It can't be helped, they're tasty."

But then, Murasakibara turned left soon after on the road while Himuro turned right. Wondering what might be wrong, Himuro asked, "Atsushi? Isn't school right this way?"

"..." Murasakibara went quiet for a moment before saying, "I think I'm sick."

Himuro immediately responded, "Oh, is it your stomach? Or fever?"

"Hmm, both of them, I think. I need to go home now." Himuro got confused but Murasakibara only nodded a little before walking away from him. "Can you tell the others I can't attend practice too?"

"Sure, no problem."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Muro-chin!"

Himuro waved with a gentle smile. "See you tomorrow, Atsushi. Get better!"

Murasakibara didn't reply, though. After seeing his partner in Yosen went away, Himuro walked away to school before suddenly a realization hit him. "...Does his house go that way?"

07.50

? ? ?

Akashi smirked when he got his friends' reply, once again. Of course, the very nonexistent player and the Tiger weren't informed. If they were, who would be the fun in doing it? And such, Akashi was somehow ended in this room. No one knew that he was here, though, since no one bothered to check this room in the morning.

Being a figure of Akashi, he had discussed it with Seirin's principal about their arrivals here. The said principal was agreeing on his persuasion, saying it would be beneficial to his school. Anyway, after searching for a while, he had found 'something' that he wanted. And today he was going to have much fun messing with those Seirin guys.

08.30

Seirin High - Gate

Aomine had originally thought that he was the one who would join Akashi's crazy plan today. But somehow, everyone was already present in there. Of course, by everyone, he meant everyone in Generation of Miracles minus the leader and apparently the phantom player.

Kise was trying his best blocking his face to female students by using Midorima's lucky item of the day; a green frog toy. Midorima was very mad about it and started to take it away from his face, repeatedly saying some threats. Murasakibara was just watching them while eating his pocky, of course.

When Aomine arrived at the scene, his eyebrows irked. "Would you both stop fighting in the morning?"

"Aominecchi!" Kise was very surprised seeing his late friend, seeming to forget about the frog which of course, Midorima took it away with quick reflex. "Mou, Midorimacchi!"

"This frog isn't your lucky item of the day, stupid." Midorima coolly replied as he fixed his glasses' position. "Don't use my lucky item for your stupid own reason, Kise."

"That's mean!"

Seeing that he couldn't talk to those stupid high-schoolers, he turned his head to Murasakibara who was still happily munching his pocky.

"Oi, Murasakibara, care to explain?"

"...Good morning, Mine-chin."

"Yeah, yeah, good morning." Aomine could care less about greeting right now. Though, those two guys behind him were fighting again.

"Simply put, Kise-chin is an idiot." Murasakibara commented lightly which didn't escape Kise's sharp ears. "Uh-uh, I think it's like that from the very beginning."

"I'm noot! Murasakibaracchi, you're very mean!" Kise whined at his statement before pointing at the glasses boy. "It's Midorimacchi's fault!"

"I know about that. Don't state the obvious thing, Murasakibara." Aomine lightly replied, sighing at the sigh of the blonde model. Being underrated at, he turned into the remaining person and whined who unfortunately, was Midorima. Aomine continued, "I mean, where that damn captain is?"

"Aka-chin, eh? Hmm..." Murasakibara looked as if he was thinking before he said, "I don't know. We've been waiting for few minutes by now."

"Tch! He's late again! What is he thinking-?"

Actually, Aomine wanted to finish his harsh remark before suddenly a red scissor went away nearly an inch of his eyes. He immediately froze at the sight but say nothing regarding that. Of course he knew who was the sender, the very captain of Rakuzan.

"Sorry for the wait. It took much time for me to get 'it'." Akashi said with smirking. He apparently was still using his Rakuzan's school uniform as well. "Follow me; you'll get stared at using your school's uniforms here."

Aomine was once, glad, for that. That was before Akashi slightly turned his head and said. "Daiki, I'll have a word with you later."

Or not.

Seirin High - Class 1-A

Finally, the teacher went in. Kagami and Kuroko stopped their one-sided bickering immediately. Though, the teacher was already a nervous man, so when he had his handkerchief on his hand, wiping his sweats, everyone in the class was already knew something wasn't right. Even a person as insensitive as Kagami knew it as well.

The teacher cleared his throat. "Uh, okay, class. Courtesy to the Principal, we would have five new students here."

The class immediately was in state of shock. Of course, the seats were already full as well as the attendance list, so why did the Principal put them here? Well, there were still empty seats courtesy to the sick students, but when will they put them if they attend tomorrow?

The teacher cleared his throat again, gaining his students' attention once more. "Quiet please. Of course, they're only here for today. They came in respectively in different schools altogether, for observing the method of study in Seirin High. So I hope you all would have nice attitudes to represent Seirin High."

The class immediately shut their noises when the teacher instructed them to. He then welcomed them in decent, strict manner of teacher.

"From Shutoku High School, Midorima Shintaro."

The Tiger jolted out of shock; meanwhile the phantom player was still quiet. Though, Kagami reasoned, Midorima was known to be highly intellectual, so maybe he was right to be chosen as representative, of course.

Midorima went in the class and wrote his own name in the board with chalk. His lucky item was put in his bag, much to Kagami's gladness. He eyed Kuroko and the very Tiger before introducing himself strictly. "My name is Midorima Shintaro from Shutoku High. Pleased to meet you."

"Alright, Midorima. You may sit behind Kuroko. Please raise your hand, Kuroko Tetsuya."

Kuroko obdiently raised his hand, though the teacher asked. "Huh? Is Kuroko absent today?"

"Sir, I'm right here." Kuroko voiced his thought while waving his hand. The teacher immediately found him before went few shades of red.

"Oh, yeah! Umm, please sit down behind Kuroko, Midorima."

Midorima walked to his seat, passing through a glaring tiger and an empty seat (?). Though, being Midorima, he glared back at their sight before sitting on his chair right behind Kuroko.

"Okay, the next is from Kaijo High-" the teacher said. Kagami immediately jolted but Kuroko was still quietly hearing what the teacher had to say the next. "-Kise Ryota."

*CRACK*

Kagami slightly looked behind only to find that Kuroko's mechanical pencil was already broken in two pieces. Kagami was deep down glad that he wasn't the source of the black aura Kuroko emitted just now. Midorima just practically shrugged off.

Kise entered the scene only to find that he was being stared at mostly female populations who went all noisy because of him. It was a normal sight to him before he found a black aura from behind a glaring tiger. Behind them, Midorima smirked at the sight as if saying 'it's not my fault'.

"Uh, my name is Kise Ryota from Kaijo High. Pleased to meet you. Please take care of me, even if it's just a day."

The girls went uproar, but the aura Kuroko emitted was increasing much to Kise's dismay.

"Kise, you may take your seat next to Midorima." The teacher said. "I hope you don't mind with the setting?"

"No, sir. It's alright." Kise hurriedly replied before walking to his seat. He winced when he passed Kagami but he stopped a moment when he was next to Kuroko's seat.

That was because Kuroko whispered him while taking Kise's hand, "Please meet us at the school's rooftop first break. I'd like you to explain. Tell your kin."

"R-Right." Before he went seated next to Midorima.

"Next is from a quite far High School, Yosen High, in Akita prefecture. Come in, Murasakibara Atsushi."

This was the first time the whole class gawked at the sight. Murasakibara was still a giant even though he had changed school. Though, for the second time in his life, Kagami Taiga found that the guy didn't say something with snacks in his mouth.

"My name is Murasakibara Atsushi, from Yosen High. Pleased to meet you."

After he wrote his name on the board, the teacher said, "Alright. You may sit behind Midorima, Murasakibara." Of course, the safest choice was to put the giant behind. He stopped for a moment next to Kuroko and ruffled the phantom's hairs a little.

"It's been a while, Kuro-chin, Kagami~"

Though, he didn't hear Kagami's retort since he had walked away and passed through Kise and Midorima before sitting on his chair.

"The next is from the neighboring school, Touou High-" With the teacher statement, Kagami winced. Kuroko was still aloof as usual, he noted, and his two friends were trying their own best not to comment on anything about it. "-Aomine Daiki."

Okay, this certainly went up from his limit. And said limit was Kagami's. He had already enough with the Generation of Miracles, of course. Ever since that, uh, so-called incident, he found out that he was used by their presences but NOT THAT much, thank you, not to the point they INVADE his school.

When Aomine went inside the class, he smirked cockily to Kagami, though he suppressed his already popping vein and calmed himself as much as he can. Aomine wrote his name on the board while introducing him lazily.

"Aomine Daiki. Touou High. Nice meeting you."

The teacher sweat dropped at the sight before saying, "Uhm, please take your seat..." The teacher looked at the class before nodding, "Next to Kagami Taiga."

"Fine then."

"NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

Kagami immediately shouted in his defense. The class turned their attentions to him, making him blushed for being the center of attention.

"Do you guys know each other?" The teacher asked while glaring the returnee student from the States, as if saying 'quiet, Kagami! Or I'll give you special lecture after school! You're absolutely not going to ruin our school's reputation!'.

Seeing his code, Kagami responded immediately, "Y- No, sir. Yes. I'm sorry."

Aomine looked as if he had won a lottery before walking to his seat. He managed to say 'Yo, Tetsu!' to Kuroko and grinned cockily to his chair mate before sitting down his own seat. Though, Kuroko's face had gone became more and more less expression after a while. The black aura had still on the air, but he apparently had no intention to lower it.

"And the last came from another far school, Rakuzan High-"

Kagami only prayed that the last student wasn't him, though.

"Come in, Akashi Seijuurou."

Or not.

Akashi came in with confidence. No one realized that he gave Kagami-Kuroko duo a slight smirk, of course. After writing his own name on the board, he introduced himself.

"My name is Akashi Seijuurou from Rakuzan High. Pleased to meet you guys."

Well dooonee! Okay, welcome to the Day! :DDD As I've said it in the summary chapter, this story is kind of [A Trip to Hokkaido]'s aftermath story, but for people who hadn't read the Trip, you might enjoy the Day without reading it first since there wasn't much the Trip material here. Yup, it was made after the Trip ended, but my Trip story hasn't ended anyway :P I planned to have 6 short chapters (as per study hours) each week. Please review, if you like!
