A New Miracle
Chapter 1
A New Beginning
A boy walked through the gates of his new school. He wore the school's uniform which consisted of black pants and black jacket with a blue stripe running down the middle, he wore the zipper slightly opened at the top. He looked rather intriguing he had messy smokey gray hair and pale blue eyes almost gray as well. The boy took a deep breath and continued walking through the schools court year, the court yard reminded him a lot of his old school. People were giving out flyers for their respective clubs, the boy had only on club in mind: the basketball club. He continued walking when he found another boy giving out flyers for the basketball club. The boy's face greatly resembled a cat, the grey haired boy asked cat face where he could sign up for the club. Cat face replied that he should look for a boy with black hair and glasses and a girl with short light brown hair. The grey haired boy found who he was looking for and walked towards the table where the boy and girl were sitting.
"Is this where I can sign up for the basket ball club?" the grey haired boy asked.
The girl nodded and gestured for him to sit down on the chair. The boy sat down on the chair and was given a form, which stated: to write down his name, high school year, middle school he went to, and why he wanted to join the club. The grey haired boy wrote down the information and headed it back to the girl, the black haired boy seemed indifferent about the whole situation.
"I see, so your name is Ryuto Rishihara(Ree-she-ha-ra). It's a pleasure to meet you Rishihara-kun." the girl said. "Call me Ryuto, I don't like it when people call me by my last name. I understand the reason behind it, but I just don't like it." Ryuto said with a straight face. "I'll make a mental note." the girl said as she continued to look through the form.
Ryuto noticed as her eyes widened as she made it to a part of his form. She then turned her head to the black haired boy who also seemed surprised. Ryuto then decided to speak up.
"Is there something wrong?" Ryuto asked. "Your from America!?" the girl asked loudly. "Yeah I am does that matter?" Ryuto asked. "No it does't it just surprised me thats all," the girl said, "well it was nice to meet you Ryuto-kun. Tryouts are today after school I expect you to be there." "I will, and it was nice meeting you too… uhh whats your name?" Right said with one hand behind his head and a nervous smile. "I'm Aida Riko and this Hyūga Junpei." the girl, now called Aida, said gesturing to the boy next to her.
Ryuto nodded and got up form his seat. He started to walk to the entrance to main building when he felt a bump on his chest.
"Sorry about that, didn't see you there." Ryuto apologized. "It's not a problem." the blue haired boy said very monotonous as he continued walking.
Ryuto was now confused, the boy kept walking as if he did not notice him. Ryuto shrugged it off and continued walking.
Ryuto got to his homeroom and sat in the back of the classroom waiting for the school day to start. He stared out though the window, his mind was only thinking one thing the person he wanted to see the most not that he was here in Japan. The school's bell rung and it snapped Ryuto out of his thoughts. His classmates started to pour into the classroom, the homeroom size was decently big. No one bothered to talk to him which was something he did not mind. Ryuto looked at all of his classmates when he noticed again the blue haired boy a two desks in front of him, no one seemed to notice him. Ryuto thought to himself: Could he have what I have? Ryuto was once again stripped for his thoughts when the teacher walked in she welcomed the freshmen to Seirin High School. Ryuto sighed today was going to be a long orientation.
The day had passed just as slowly as Ryuto had predicted. He looked at the clock and noted he had some time to kill before practice. His phone started to buzz, he got a text message from one of his best friends, one that he met when he visited Japan when he was about eight years old.
Ryu-chan, I heard you started school in Japan, is it true?
-Tao
Ryuto smiled, he knew this message would come eventually, he even expected it from him. He chuckled as he sent his friend a reply:
Yeah its true bro, I wanted to go to the same school as you, but the one I'm attending is closer to my house.
-Ryuto
He waited for a few seconds for a reply. He felt the vibration in his hand, Ryuto opened up the message that read:
Why didn't you, the bball team would be even stronger with you?
-Tao
Ryuto laughed a little again and responded with:
Who said I would join the bball team?! Anyways I would've joined, but maybe we can meet up before we see each other on the court. How does that sound?
-Ryuto
The response came quicker than Ryuto had anticipated.
Yeah sure sounds fun. I'll talk to you again later gotta head to practice. Talk later Ryu-chan
-Tao
Ryuto smiled as he put his phone away. He looked back at the clock and noticed that he was late for his basketball practice. He raced to a bathroom to change. He quickly changed and raced to the gym he slammed the door open panting, he looked up to find Aida saying his name.
"Here." Ryuto said panting. Aida looked back to find Ryuto panting. "Why are you late?" Aida asked. "Got caught up with something else and lost track of time." Ryuto answered. "Well it doesn't matter now that your here stand in the line." Aida said sternly. "Right." Ryuto said as he stood up.
He started to walk towards the line of other who wanted to try out, to find someone he was not expecting. He smiled as he saw the red head.
"Well Taiga this is the last place I'd find you." Ryuto said in english.
The one now called Taiga looked forwards to see the person who was talking to him, to find a certain grey haired boy standing in front of him with a smile.
"No way Ryuto, you're here too? I heard you were also coming to Japan, but I didn't expect you to come to this school." Taiga said in english as well.
The rest of the people in the gym looked at the two boys as they spoke a language they could barely understand and how much lighter Taiga was like now that Ryuto was talking to him.
"We'll catch up later, right now we gotta do this." Right said with Taiga responding with a nod.
Ryuto went to stand next to Taiga when he saw the blue haired boy standing next to him. Ryuto decided to test the theory he had about him earlier in the day.
"All right everyone remove your shirts." Aida said, who also turned out to be the coach.
Everyone seemed very uncomfortable with the idea, but Ryuto took off his his shirt anyways. The coach went around the boys looking at them intensely. After looking at them she would write something down and move on the the next person. When she made it to Taiga, she stared at him in awe, even Ryuto had to admit Taiga was in good shape. Hyūga talked to the coach and she was removed form her trance, she wrote somethings down and moved on to Ryuto. She was not as in awe with his as she was with Taiga, but she seemed to not be bothered by what she saw. She once again wrote something down and started to walk back towards Hyūga.
"Oi, coach aren't you missing one the one form Teikō; Kuroko Tetsuya?" Hyūga said.
Everyone started to murmur things about Teikō and how they had absurdly strong players. Ryuto inferred that the must be talking about the blue haired boy. The coach started to call out his name, when there was no response she concluded that he was not present. Ryuto noticed the blue haired boy walk towards her.
"Excuse me, I'm Kuroko Tetsuya." the blue haired boy, now called Kuroko, said monotonously.
Everyone jumped back in surprise as the Kuroko "suddenly" appeared. Everyone was asking the same question when did he arrive and how long has he been standing there. Ryuto sighed and decided to speak up.
"He's been here the whole time I noticed him the moment I walked in." Ryuto said.
No one seemed to calm down. Ryuto noticed Kuroko's eyes widen when he said the he could see him, Ryuto's theory was just proven correct. The coach had to clam everyone one down, she then ordered for Kuroko to remove his shirt. Once he did so she let out a high pitched yell. The rest of the practice went by rather smoothly after Kuroko appeared. Taiga was showing off his prowess in dunking, to which Ryuto scoffed. The practice ended at around 5:30, everyone helped clean up the gym as it was a requirement to be able to use it. Ryuto took off his sweaty practice shirt and put on a clean one. Ryuto was about to leave the gym when he heard the coach's voice calling for him to come over.
"Start talking now." she demanded, clearly ticked off about something. "About what exactly?" Ryuto asked. "How you know Kagami and how you were able to see Kuroko." the coach responded. "Well me and Taiga went to the same middle school in the States. As for Kuroko lets just say I have a good eye for people like him." Ryuto responded. "So your Japanese and yet you speak english without and accent?" the coach asked. "Yeah I was born in the States to Japanese parents, so in my home we would almost always speak Japanese while everywhere else I spoke english. Unlike Taiga who moved to the States when he was in elementary school. Will that be all I really have got to get going?" Ryuto asked. "Yeah thats answers most of my questions, so see you tomorrow." the coach said.
Ryuto said goodbye and headed out the gate of the school. He walked towards the nearest bus stop and got on it, it was the quickest way to his home. Once he arrived at his stop he got off the bus and walked up towards his apartment. Ryuto lived alone, his parents wanted him to have at least one school semester abroad before collage, so he chose Japan. His younger siblings and parents stayed in the States, they said it would be good practice for collage. Ryuto opened the door to his apartment, all the moving boxes were still a mess in a corner, he turned on the lights to the apartment, which unveiled even more mess from moving in. Right sighed he would have to clean that up eventually. Ryuto set down his bag, grabbed the mail key and went to check it. He found a package form his parents. He opened it once he got back into his apartment, it was a CD which had a note attached to it that read: You left this back home so I sent it to you. -Mom. Ryuto smiled his opened the CD packaging and put it into the stereo, it was his Japanese music playlist that he would listen to almost all the time. He friends from the States would tease him about it, but Ryuto didn't care. He turned on the stereo and pressed play to hear his favorite song from the CD, it always pumped him up. Ryuto then continued to move boxes around and put others in the trash. His apartment was only temporary he would move in with his cousin later into the school year, so he kept some things in their boxes, while the essentials the removed from them. Ryuto opened a box that read: Personal stuff. It had mostly pictures of his family. One was with his mother and father plus his two siblings, he had a few more of those. The ones at the bottom of the box were the ones he liked the most. One was with his cousin a pink haired girl who was always cheerful there was also a boy with tan skin and navy blue hair all three of them were smiling. There was another of those three playing basketball all three of them were having fun, those defiantly were the good old days. The then pulled out another picture from the box, this was with another cousin, but this cousin was a boy with red hair. Lately Ryuto felt distant from this cousin, he was not the same person he remembered when they first met. Ryuto set down the pictures on a table, when he felt his stomach growl.
"Well time to eat." Ryuto said aloud.
He got up form the floor and headed to the kitchen. There was not a lot of food in his fridge, Ryuto sighed he put on more casual clothes grabbed his house keys and went out to find a fast food place so he could get something to eat. As he walked around the city he looked through a window of a restaurant and saw Kuroko leaving the place. Ryuto turned around to meet him.
"Well Kuroko." Ryuto said to him.
Kuroko turned around to find his teammate smiling at him.
"Hello Rishihara-kun." Kuroko said.
Ryuto's smile faded as Kuroko called him by his last name.
"Please don't call me by my last name it bothers me." Ryuto pleaded. "Oh I didn't know. Why are you here?" Kuroko asked bluntly. "Well you're just like me you have low presence. Thats the reason I can see you, part of it really." Ryuto said. "So I was right then, I thought you might have it as well." Kuroko said. "You're observant, we're quite similar you know. But my low presence is more like an on and off switch." Ryuto said. "How so?" Kuroko asked. "You'll see." Ryuto said with a smile once again in his face. "Can I ask you something?" Ryuto asked. "Sure." Kuroko answered. "You went to the same middle school as he did right?" Ryuto asked.
Kuroko pondered the question for a second. He had to be talking about the Generation of Miracles, but the way Ryuto said 'he' Kuroko knew who Ryuto was talking about.
"Yes I did." Kuroko answered. "Did he ever seem like he changed?" Ryuto asked. "You could say that." Kuroko. "Thanks for the info see you tomorrow in school." Ryuto said walking away.
The next morning Ryuto was doing the same routine that happened the day before. He walked around the school's hallways. As he walked he heard some some girls that are in his class giggle as he passed, annoyed he decided to disappear. The rest of the day felt slow once again, it was not until he made to basketball practice that the day really got kicking.
"Today the first years are going to play the second years!" The coach announced.
The first years seemed scared they kept murmuring that even though they were only second years they made it really far in Inter-High the year before. Taiga was threatening them to calm down, to no avail. Ryuto walked towards his friend and swatted him on the back of the head.
"Hey what was that for?" Taiga yelled. "You gotta calm down your hot headedness is going to affect the whole team. Now get your ass to the middle of the court, you're going to do the jump ball." Ryuto ordered.
Taiga froze in fear for a few moments. The rest of the people in the gym seemed to be amazed at how Ryuto was able to control Kagami like that.
"Y-y-yes captain." Taiga stuttered as he walked to the middle.
Everyone was amazed at what just happened. They were even surprised when Kagami called him captain. Ryuto looked to the others on his team, it consisted of: Kuroko, Kōki Furihata, and Hiroshi Fukuda.
"All right then here's the game plan: Furihata your going to be small forward, I'm playing point guard. Got that?" Furihata nodded. "Fukuda; you're center get as many rebounds as you can. Got it?" Fukuda nodded. "Taiga you're playing power forward, you know what to do." Taiga nodded. "Kuroko say back for a little while, you'll do your thing later." Kuroko nodded.
The coach threw the ball up as she blew the whistle, Kagami was the first to get the ball and passed it to Ryuto. Ryuto dribbled slowly towards the three point line, he looked around the second year were serious, but their guards were a bit low. Ryuto smiled, a quick and easy shot. He moved the ball to his right hand, the one guarding him was the second year point guard Shun Izuki. Ryuto started to dribble with his right hand, it was a bit clumsy but enough to do his maneuver. He started to dribble slower. Ryuto then did a quick crossover to his left hand and in a matter of seconds he was already under the basket with he ball going through the hoop. First point was for the first years. Everyone was silent all that was heard the ball bounce on the floor, then murmuring started. It ranged from: "How did he do that?" to "That was really fast."
"Come on guys we're on defense." Ryuto called to his teammates, who were broken form their trance.
"Don't mind Izuki, you'll get him next time." Hyūga patted him on the shoulder.
The second years got into their positions on offense. Ryuto did a quick analyze of their formation. Their main person to get points was the captain, Hyūga, Izuki was the one who set everything up, the center Mitobe was for rebounds and inside shots, finally their power forward and small forward were a bit of a wild card, Ryuto could not figure out what their strengths were. Izuki made a quick pass to Hyūga, who caught the ball and made a three point shot. Ryuto was impressed his form was excellent. Ryuto's team was back on offense, Taiga had calmed down and was now usable. No need to show too much Ryuto said to himself. He passed the ball to Taiga who made it into a flashy dunk, Ryuto rolled his eyes as they returned for defense. The two teams continued to get points until the second years to a good lead once half-time came. Furihata started to say that the second years were really strong, Taiga grabbed him by the shirt and brought him up to his level. He was not able to finish threatening him due to Kuroko's intervention to tell him to calm down. Ryuto smiled there was at least one other person who could calm Taiga down.
"Kuroko." Ryuto called out to the blue haired boy. "Yes, Ryuto-kun?" Kuroko replied. "Come here for a sec." Ryuto said.
The blue haired boy walked over his teammates were jumping in surprise at Kuroko's sudden appearance.
"What do you need?" Kuroko asked. "I want to see what you can do, and nows the time." Ryuto said. Kuroko nodded as the coach blew the whistle to start the second half.
The first years started with the ball after half-time, Ryuto dribbled slowly down the court again. He looked towards the second years, their guards were up. Ryuto looked towards Kuroko who started to make his way to the key. Ryuto faked an attack to the right and passed it to Fukuda, who was guarded by Mitobe. Mitobe positioned himself to receive the ball, but suddenly the ball curved towards Kagami, even though he was surprised made the shot. Ryuto smiled this was Kuroko's ability: misdirection. The game continued with a fast pace each team scoring after another, Kuroko was continue to use his ability through the game to send passes mostly Taiga's way something Ryuto did not mind. Once the final whistle blew, signaling that the game had ended, Ryuto looked towards the score 38-37, the first years had won thanks to Kuroko and Taiga's teamwork. While everyone was starting to leave Ryuto stayed behind a bit longer to practice his jump shots.
"What are you still doing here?" a voice called out to Ryuto.
He looked back to find the coach standing at the door way, waiting to lock up the court. Seeing her impatience he decided to stop. After putting the balls away he went to his bag grabbed his clean shirt and put it on after taking off the sweaty one. He walked outside and watched as the coach locked up before turing to leave.
"Sorry about that, just getting some extra jump shot practice thats all." Ryuto apologized as they walked together towards the gate of the school.
They walked in science for a few minutes, Ryuto was looking at all the buildings around completely ignoring the coach.
"Can I ask you something?" the coach asked. "Yeah sure, whats on your mind?" Ryuto answered. "Kagami called you captain, whats up with that?" she asked. "Well back in middle school I was the captain of the team for my last year and that year Taiga was a full time starter too, so that probably why." Ryuto answered. "And what about that move you pulled?" the coach asked. "You mean the crossover?" Ryuto replied. She nodded. "Thats something that I've been working on since middle school, I'm a born lefty so I began to practice dribbling with my right, it's a bit clumsy, but it get the job done." Ryuto said with a smile.
They both made it to the bus stop and got on it they sat in silence for some time. Aida started to study Ryuto this time instead of looking for his stats.
"What are you doing?" Ryuto asked turning away form the book he was reading. "Oh uh nothing just trying to read your shirt." she said nervously. "Well you could've just asked." Ryuto said with a smile. "Its the physical education shirt for my middle school. I'm surprised it still fits me. I mainly kept it was a reminder of back home." Ryuto explained turing back to his book.
The bus came to a stop, Ryuto looked up and noticed it was his stop. He got up to leave. When Aida grabbed his arm to stop him.
"This is my stop, I gotta get going." Ryuto said as she let go of his arm. "I just wanted to give you this is all." she said handing a paper.
The paper read: Club Membership Form. Ryuto looked towards her with a smile.
"Thanks, uhh when do I hand this in?" Ryuto asked. "I'll tell you." she said. "See you tomorrow." Ryuto said as he waved goodbye.
Ryuto walked towards his apartment and opened the door. It was the same as he had left it boxes everywhere. Ryuto sighed as he sat down on the couch. He took out his phone to find a message form one of his cousins. He opened his phone and read the message.
Ryu, can't wait to see you, when do you want to meet up?
-Satsuki
Ryuto responded back saying during the weekend they could meet up. He set his phone down and looked at one of the picture he had on the table. One in particular stood out, the picture of his middle school team when they won the championship in his last year of middle school. He set down the the picture and decided to go to sleep early.
The day after the coach gave Ryuto the form, he was told to go to the roof of the school during the morning assembly. Deciding not to question anything Ryuto went towards the roof. When he got there he found some of his fellow first years and the coach.
"Why are we here, we have morning assembly right now?" Kagami asked. "Well here your going to say your resolve for going to nationals! If you fail to do this you'll have to confess to the girl you love." the coach said.
Three of the six freshmen on the roof started to shudder. Ryuto noticed Taiga smile he walked towards the railing and yelled: "Class 1-B, number 5, Kagami Taiga. I will defeat the Generation of Miracles and become the best player in Japan!" "Who's next?" the coach asked. Furihata, Fukuda, and Kawahara shuddered again. Ryuto walked forward he decided to go next. He grabbed onto the railing, he took in a deep breath then shouted: "Class 1-A, number 10, Ryuto Rishihara. I want to help my team become the strongest they can be!" Ryuto walked back to the group, once there let out a deep breath. "Still afraid of heights Ryuto?" Taiga asked. "Yeah I am. At least its not as bad as your fear." Ryuto replied.
Furihata and Kawahara told their reasons to join the club, even though Kawahara's was forcefully cut short. Kuroko was about to say his reasons, though a megaphone, before two teachers burst through the door that leads on the roof. They started to punish everyone there, deciding to not to be one to get yelled at, Ryuto disappeared. The day progressed rather quickly and eventful. Everybody was talking about what had happened on the roof. That day there was not any basketball practice, so Ryuto had the rest of the afternoon free. He decided to call his friend see if he wanted to do something. He pulled out his phone and dialed the number of his friend. After a few moments he heard his friend's voice on the other side.
"Hey Tao, wanna do something today? I got the afternoon free." Right asked. "Yeah sure. Where do you want to meet up?" Tao asked. "Want to meet up at an arcade then grab something to eat?" Ryuto suggested. "Yeah sounds good. Give about 20 minutes." Tao answered. "All right then see you then." Ryuto said as he hung up.
Ryuto walked towards the nearest arcade that was in between Tao's and his school. After a few minutes of waiting Ryuto looked towards the other end of the street to find his friend across it waving at him. The boy was Ryuto's age he had black hair with a few strands falling to his eyes, he had blue eyes and had his usual smirk. Ryuto waved back, once he made it across the street he and Tao fist bumped.
"Its been a while, Takao." Ryuto said. "Yeah it has Ryuto." Takao responded. "So what game do you want me to destroy you at first?" Ryuto asked. "Ha, good luck with that. I'll be delivering the destruction." Takao replied. "Fine then, how about a bet? If you beat me in the most games, I'll pay for food, but if I win the most you have to pay. Sound fair?" Ryuto asked. "Challenge accepted Ryu." Takao agreed. "Then let the games begin, Tao." Ryuto replied.
They both smiled and went to play their bet. By the time they had finished night had fallen onto the city. The friends walked out of the arcade laughing as they did so, it was a fun night.
"I'll admit it your good Ryu." Tao said. "Looks like your paying for food." Ryuto said laughing. "Yeah, yeah. What do you want to eat something American?" Tao said mockingly. "I could go for a burger, but how about something Japanese?" Ryuto asked. "Right then I know just the place." Tao said with a smile.
They went to a restaurant that you could cook your own food, which was something completely new to Ryuto. Since neither of the two were not all that hungry, so they ate light.
"So why did you decide tome to Japan?" Tao asked. "Well my parents wanted for me to have at least one school semester abroad before collage. They said I could chose wherever I wanted to go, so I chose Japan. My parents didn't come with me though they stayed also claiming that it is good practice for when collage rolls around. But sooner or later I'm moving in with my cousin so it's not all bad." Ryuto answered. "Wow thats interesting. What schools did you consider going to?" Tao asked. "Well Seirin, your school; Shutoku, my cousins school; Tōō, and Rakuzan. You can tell which one I chose." Ryuto answered. "Wait, why did you consider Rakuzan?" Tao asked. "You're asking a lot of question, but anyways. I thought about going to Rakuzan, 'cause I heard their sports program is good and my grades were all right, but it seemed too uptight for me. And someone who I would rather not talk to goes there." Ryuto answered. "Yeah I agree, Rakuzan does seem too uptight." Tao responded.
The two sat in silence for a short period as they ate. After they ate and payed the walked outside of the restaurant and decided to call it a night.
"It was good to see you again, Tao." Ryuto said with a smile. "Ditto bro. Hope we can meet on the court someday." Tao said. "Yeah me too. Well see ya." Ryuto said as he raised his fist for a fist bump.
The two parted ways, Ryuto walked to the nearest bus stop to catch a ride back to his apartment. He wanted to go to sleep, his body was tired and he could feel that tomorrow was going to be another long day. When Ryuto arrived for homeroom the next morning there was quite the commotion around the windows. Everyone was crowed around it murmuring things here and there. When his curiosity peaked him Ryuto walked over to the window and saw a message written in the courtyard, it read: We will be the best in Japan. Ryuto smiled he had a pretty good idea who it was that wrote it. After school the team met up at the locker room to get changed. Hyūga, Izuki, and Koga were looking at a basketball magazine that featured the Generation of Miracles, however there was not an article about Kuroko. All of a sudden Fukuda burst into the locker room.
"She's back, the coach is back! She said we're going to play a practice game." Fukuda yelled. Those that were in the locker room gasped. "I wonder who we're playing?" Hyūga asked. "Who knows. She was skipping though." Fukuda said with a hand behind his head. "She was skipping?!" Hyūga said startled. "Be ready everyone. If she was skipping are opponent is gonna be real though." Hyūga warned.
Practice started as normal the first years practiced offense while the second years were on defense. Furihata passed to Kuroko, who then quickly after passed it to Kagami, who drove to the basket then did a spin move to get Izuki away from him then proceed to dunk the ball. The rest of the team started to comment on how fast Kagami had maneuvered. Ryuto let out a sigh, flashy as always.
"Gather around everyone!" the coach yelled. "Yes ma'am!" everyone replied in unison. "A practice game against Kaijo?!" Hyūga said startled. "Yep. They'll be good practice for us, we're also going to put some first years in." the coach. "But they're so much better." Koga said. "Are they really that good?" Kawahara asked. "They're at the national level. They make it into Inter-High every year." Hyūga answered. "They even have one of the Generation of Miracles, Kise Ryōta." the coach added. Three of the first years started to shudder again, Ryuto realized whoever that was he was strong. "Ummm who are the Generation of Miracles exactly?" Ryuto asked. All eyes were on him, most of the people had wide eyes even Taiga was looking at him funny. "I'll go look them up." Ryuto said nervously.
Ryuto looked to his left and saw a long line of girls with papers or pictures in their hands. He then looked towards where the line ended and there sat a boy with blonde hair signing autographs. The team was still engrossed in conversation, so Ryuto decided to step out.
"Oi, blondie you lost?" Ryuto asked. "I don't think I am." the blonde responded. The blonde seemed to be studying Ryuto he kept looking up and down. "Then if you aren't, then what are you doing here you don't look like a student from this school." Ryuto said. "I'm looking for someone is all, just got caught up doing this." the blonde said as he walked towards Ryuto.
Ryuto had to admit he did have some kind of pretty boy swagger, which he hoped to get away from since he left the states. His team had finished talking and they looked towards the blonde amazed, Taiga had his usual hotheaded smirk. Ryuto knew what that meant.
"It's good to see you again." Kuroko said gesturing to the blonde. "Good to see you." the blonde replied. All eyes were on Kuroko now and the blonde. After a few moments the fangirls in the gym left and the blonde was only looking at Kuroko. "What are you doing here?" Hyūga asked startled. "When I heard our opponents were Seirin, I remembered that was the school where Kurokocchi went to, so I thought to come say hi. He was my best friend in middle school." the blonde said still only looking at Kuroko.
Kuroko replied with a rather blunt statement and made the blonde get emotional. Ryuto eventually realized that the blonde was that Kise the others had been talking about. Furihata started to read the article on him form the magazine, Ryuto was not interested so he decided to grab a ball and take some shots. Eventually Ryuto turned to see Kise facing off against Taiga in a one-on-one. Ryuto face palmed and walked towards the group watching. Before the one-one-one got started Ryuto walked over to Kise and grabbed the ball away from his hand. The entire court seemed on edge when Kise looked back towards Ryuto.
"Why the hell did you do that?" Kise asked irritated. "This one-on-one is unnecessary, I know your gonna beat Taiga." Ryuto said. "Well then how would you fare then?" Kise asked confidently. "I'll leave that for when we meet on the court." Ryuto said as he turned his back to Kise and threw the ball towards the basket without looking, the ball went into the basket nothing but net. "Thats just a small taste." Ryuto said with a smile.
Kise then turned to Kuroko with a smile. "Give us Kurokocchi. Come join us, lets play together again." he said. The gym let silent once agin. "I seriously respect you, it's a waste of your talent to stay here. What do you say?" Kise asked boldly. All eyes turned once again to Kuroko. "I'm honored to hear you say that. I must respectfully decline your offer." Kuroko answered while bowing.
Kise started to complain, he went on to say that winning was everything in middle school. When Ryuto heard this he scoffed, all of them must think a like.
"I made a promise to Kagami-kun, to beat you the Generation of Miracles." Kuroko said. "It's not like you to joke around." Kise said.
Behind him Kagami let out a small chuckle, Kise then turned to him. There was a tense air around the three of them, even the others could feel it. Ryuto made a mental note to comment on Taiga's hotheadedness. Eventually Kise left soon after that practice had ended, Ryuto noticed Taiga's expression; it was the same one he would have when he faced tough opponents in the States.
"Taiga I need to talk to you." Ryuto called to his friend. "What is it?" Taiga asked. Ryuto then swatted him on the back of the head. "That was for being a dumb ass." Ryuto said in english. "Oh man when you speak english it really is serious." Taiga commented. "Get some sleep." Ryuto said as he walked away. Taiga stood there confused for a few moments then proceeded to walk.
Once Ryuto arrived to his home he sat down on the couch. Tomorrow was their game against Kaijo and the blondie. They were going to be tough, if what Ryuto saw in Kise was what he could do then it was going to be difficult to beat him.
