The call came in the middle of practice
It wasn't unusual for Kiyoshi to call and give updates on how he was doing, but this wasn't a normal 'just checking in' phone call.

Since he had heard that his Kohai was coming back to America, he had taken it upon himself to watch out for him and give updates when he could.
This was one of those times, but it was what no one wanted to hear.

"He was heading to a meeting with some scouters and a car swerved into their lane..."

Hyuuga took all of the information in as gracefully as he could before hanging up and turning to the team that looked eager to know what was going on. How was he supposed to explain this to them?
His eyes landed on a certain individual at that point, and he thought that maybe he could lie and try to handle things behind the scenes; but the longer he was met with that gaze, the less he had the strength to hold anything in.

"Ah, shit."
Rubbing the back of his neck, his gaze veered off to the side. There was no way could he make eye contact right now.
"Kagami...he's been in an accident."
It was like time stopped in that moment. To be told the information and hear it was one thing, but to speak it created a completely different feeling. A tightening in his chest. Pain.

"What!?"
"What happened?"
"Is he alright?"

It was to no surprise that he'd be bombarded with questions but he really wasn't ready to answer any of them. Kiyoshi told him the situation, and he was hating him for it. For leaving him in such a painful position. Not only did he have to deal with his own pain, but now he would have to take on the team's pain, as well.
It was probably at that moment that he realized one person hadn't spoken. Not a word. Just stared at him. That look was everything he needed to see, though. There didn't need to be any words for him to know what the other was thinking. What he was begging to know.

Inhaling through ground teeth, he met those eager eyes with his own firm gaze. He was still their captain, and he owed them an explanation. He could do that much.

"They were heading to meet scouters and a car in the other lane swerved over. Alex made it out without anything serious but Kagami.." Don't stop. They need to know. "There was extensive damage to his legs. As of right now, he can't walk. They can't tell yet if the damage will be permanent."
Silence.
What could anyone say to that? What could they do? Of course this would be a moment of utter shock. In that moment, though, it was like everyone was feeling the same thing. All of their eyes fell on the one in the middle.
The first to move. Hyuuga couldn't read his gaze anymore. He couldn't tell what emotions were there, if there were any at all.

"Kuroko.."
Not a word. Instead, he watched the smaller teen move over to the benches and begin to gather his things. He watched him lean down to pet the top of Number #2's head before he was caught in that gaze again.
"Senpai, could you watch Number #2 for me for a while?"
"Wha? Why?"

"I'm going to America."
