Chapter 1- Kagami Taiga
"Is Kuroko Tetsuya here?" the tall red head asked.
"Sure he is. He is in room 202. What is your relation with him?" the nurse asked.
"He is best friend and we played high school basketball together." said Kagami Taiga with a solemn look.
"Wait I need to ring him up and confirm what you just said." said the nurse picking up the phone.
"Hello Kuroko san! Someone by the name Kagami Taiga has come to visit you. Should I let him in?"
"Okay I will let him in." The nurse put down the phone.
"Kuroko san does not mind visiting you now." said the nurse.
"Thank you." said Kagami.
Kagami stepped into the lift in the hospital and pressed 2.
Once he reached the second floor he entered room 202.
"Kagami kun. What a pleasant surprise!" said Kuroko putting down the book he was reading to attend to his friend.
"What's so surprising in that?" asked Kagami sitting on the chair next to Kuroko's bed.
"Well I thought that you and Aomine kun would be busy with the NBA games." said Kuroko.
"Hmm.. I asked coach for a break. We don't have a game till next week."
"How is Aomine kun and Momoi san?"
"Doing fine. Momoi is in her eighth month of pregnancy."
"Can you imagine Aomine san becoming a father?"
Kagami and Kuroko looked at each other before bursting into laughter.
"Ahomine's kid might outsmart him by the age of five if he gets Momoi san's brains." said Kagami.
"Wait just imagine it. A child with Aomine kun's playing ability and Momoi san's analyzing ability would be invincible on court!"
"Yeah but no kid of mine is losing to an Aomine!" said Kagami with a sly grin.
"What if your kids are of different genders and can't compete in the same tournament?" asked Kuroko with an innocent smile.
"Hmm. Point Kuroko!" said Kagami.
"So how is team Seirin?" asked Kagami.
"Well Hyuga san is still angry at you for not attending his wedding with Riko san. Kiyoshi senpai has started coaching at Seirin and also teaches music (he plays the harmonica and I had no freaking clue what his favorite subject is). Mitobe san is an office worker and Koga san is a vet and specializes in treatment of cats. Izuki senpai has become a comedian but that was not successful so now he does research in maths. Hyuga and Riko san manage a training centre for athletes."
"I feel like a baka for not knowing all of this."
"Well everyone is always sending you emails and letters but they say you never reply to them."
"It must be because of my fan mail manager. Her job is to filet my mail. I think I need to talk with her. Wait I got something to eat for old times' sake."
Kagami dug through his pocket and removed a Maji Burger bag out of it. He handed Kuroko a vanilla milkshake and started gobbling down on the burgers he had brought himself.
"Kagami kun has not changed one bit." said Kuroko with laugh.
"Shut up baka and slurp!"
Kagami and Kuroko talked for hours. They talked about old times. Their matches with the Generation of Miracles. The lack of good Japanese food in America.
At about 9 in the night, the nurse knocked on the door of the room.
"Kagami san Kuroko snah as to sleep now, so could you kindly leave?"
"Hai! Gomen!" said Kagami stepping out.
Once the nurse closed the door, Kagami felt the tears falling. How could Kuroko die?
Midorima Shintaro never got along with Kuroko Tetsuya. Midorima despised the fact that he could never fully grasp Tetsuya's technique.
Midorima worked in the same hospital where Kuroko was being monitored but he did not visit Kuroko until the third month of Kuroko being there.
"Midorima san. You finally visited." said Kuroko weakly.
"I visited simply to pass time. I have no work at the moment."
Kuroko knew very well that Midorima did not come here to pass time.
"Kuroko I feel I need to apologize. I never got to know you well because of my grudge towards you. Maybe I was jealous that Akashi kun had so much respect for you or that the whole Generation of Miracles acknowledged you. I also feel jealous of you now. You have had so many visitors ever since you were admitted here. I wonder whether I will have so many visitors on my deathbed. I.."
"Midorima kun, I am sorry that I made you jealous but I think Akashi kun also has respect for you. Even I regret that we never got to know each other but you have left an impression on me Midorima san that I will carry to my deathbed. I know you were scared of visiting me because of our relationship but I am happy that you mustered the courage to come and visit me despite of your grudge. That is the true quality of a warrior. He acknowledges the strength of the enemy."
Midorima could not hold his tears back. He said I quiet goodbye before leaving the room.
Recently I realized that I was writing romance a little bit too much so I decided to do something more serious and tragic. This story is an account of the visitors Kuroko gets before he dies. I know the Kagami part sucks so I think I will make him visit Kuroko again. I think I will write Aomine , Momoi and Kise's visits next! Keep reading and review minna san!
