None of Seirin players were playing. They all had gone out to do laps around the school which left the gym opened for the new transfered student. Of course, no one knew of the student's arrival which was kind of sad on our part but in his part, he could careless about it.
He happened to find the gym opened so he help himself in since the gym seemed to be waiting on him with open arms. He surveyed, finding duffle bags on the benches and water bottles on the coolers. Basketballs were rolling around on the court as he entered furthermore. He dropped his duffle bag on the floor and waited for anyone to come out.
But it seemed that no one is here yet, he walked over toward the court and picked up a basketball and dribbled it. He glanced at the ring as he ran forward. As he ran, his right hand switched the dribble's position to his left hand. When he was near enough, he halted abruptly and leaned back, arching his back like a bow and with his right hand, he shoot the ball. The ball went right in, so flawless.
"Not enough." He once again went to retrieve the ball and started dribbling his way back but this time, dribbling his way toward the other ring. Of course, he wasn't going to shoot the ball to the other ring. He turned around, right below the other ring, dribbling the ball as his golden fierce eyes glazed. He swiftly brought the ball up, bending his knees and arms, ready to release the ball until he heard a bark coming from the entrance. He glanced at the entrance, seeing a puppy with azure blue eyes, wearing what look like a jersey, staring at him.
"Got lost?" he asked the pup. The pup shook his head no and continued barking happily at him. He shook his long violet hair as he refocus on the ring at the other side. Just as he was about to release it, he heard a voice speak beside him, startling him as he released the ball.
"Seems you're into basketball." The violet haired man turned to face a baby blue haired man with azure baby blue eyes, wearing an blank expression. They both heard a 'dank' and both glanced at the ring, just in time to see the ball going in flawlessly.
"Ah, it got in. But the distance is too far. Amazing." commented the blue haired short guy.
"..." the violet haired man turned around to go pick up his duffle bag but the pup had jumped over on top of it, preventing him.
"It seems #2 doesn't want you to leave just yet." explained the blue haired boy, beside the tall long violet haired guy whose eyebrow twitched at the sudden surprise.
"Figures.." said the violet haired guy, standing up.
"I'm Kuroko Tetsuya." said Kuroko. The violet haired guy seem to choke on his own saliva as he started coughing violently. He felt pain on his rib cage as he glanced at Kuroko who had poke stab him on the ribs. "Are you ok?"
"How could I be ok when you just poke stab me.." mumbled the violet haired guy as he straightened himself up, his violet bangs falling over his eyes. "Besides, you said you're Kuroko Tetsuya, the sixth phantom player of Generation of Miracles."
"Ah, so you know me."
"Not quite. You're a mystery."
"What's your name?"
"Natsumi Suyanai."
"I think I've heard of you, Natsumi-kun." said Kuroko. Natsumi glanced at him while setting himself on the floor, his long violet hair cascaded down and touched the floor, pooling around him. "You used to be a soccer player, correct?"
"Used to. I don't play soccer anymore." added Natsumi. He scowled at that fact though, he sighed.
"I take that you miss it." it wasn't a question, it was more like a statement.
"A bit. I'm barely getting over it." Natsumi closed his golden eyes as he continued to listen the other boy.
"What made you go after basketball?" asked Kuroko, staring at the other's face.
"I'm not pursuing it. I just wanted to give it a try. That is all." said Natsumi, opening his eyes to stare at the court.
"From what I've witnessed, you seem to be familiar with playing it. You might have a talent, perhaps." said Kuroko. #2 hopped on to Natsumi's lap and stood on both back legs, reaching to lick Natsumi's chin.
"I used to play basketball." added Natsumi, smiling a bit while patting the pup's head softly. "At first, I didn't really got the hang of it. Even if I practice alone or with my teammates, makes no difference to me. I couldn't get the hang of it. But during matches, I just go with the flow."
"Go with the flow?" questioned Kuroko. Natsumi nodded.
"Going with the flow, to me, it releases something within me that no one can stop. Even if I have talent on soccer, it all transfers to basketball. To me, both are no different but similar. Of course, both are played differently, obvious. But if you really think about it, its just quite the opposite."
"Now that you mention it, you've made it to the Nationals. As for basketball, you've brought your school to victory. With incredible strength, reflexibility, and trust."
"Yes, but...It's just all pure luck. What I'm saying is, anyone could have what I have." Natsumi scowled again but smiled at #2 who looked at him with curiosity.
"It's not just luck, Natsumi-kun. It's all about whether you enjoy playing and have trust to your teammates who support you."
"Ah, Ah. How touching." said a voice from behind them. Riko stood there, hands on her hips while behind her, all the players collapsed. "Kuroko! Weren't you suppose to be running the 70 laps with the others?" She inched closer to Kuroko who had a sweat drop behind his head while Natsumi seemed unfazed by her threats, still staring at #2 who barked happily at him.
"I had ran only 25 laps." replied Kuroko. Riko had a huge vein popped on her head as she cracked her knuckles threateningly.
"25 laps aren't enough. If you have time disappearing and flirt then I suggest you go do 50 sit-ups!" yelled Riko. Kuroko kept his face blank but was about to stand up when Natsumi, being referred as a girl, whirled around to face Riko with a scowl on his handsome face.
"Excuse me, but I'm not a girl. And also, Kuroko-kun was just keeping company." said Natsumi. Riko gaped at Natsumi while the players all perked up from the floor and stared at Natsumi with wide eyes.
"A-Ah, my d-deeper apologies-wait...what's your name?" asked Riko.
"Natsumi Suyanai." All players except Kuroko and Kagami, were surrounding Natsumi.
"You're that famous soccer player right?! Who gone to the Nationals?!"
"You taken your team to victory?!"
"Yes, that's me. Sorry to ruin your admiration but I quitted both soccer and basketball. And, I must take my leave." said Natsumi, standing up and finally took ahold of his duffle bag. Turning around, he say every eye on him, which caused him to produce a sweat drop behind his head.
"He's tall!"
"Taller than Kagami!"
"Hey!"
"Taller than Murakisabara?!"
"I doubt that tall, he must be in between Kagami and Murakisabara!"
"Oi, enough! Out of my way!" growled Kagami, standing infront of Natsumi who had an eyebrow raised.
"You said you quitted soccer and basketball?"
"That's exactly what I said."
"Oi, captain! He might be worth of trying!"
"Wait, hold on a second here" Natsumi started to regret ever coming here in the first place.
"Well, what do you think, coach?" asked Hyuuga to Riko.
"Natsumi-kun, take your shirt off"
"Why?!" exclaimed Natsumi.
"I say so."
"Over my dead body..." mumbled Natsumi, walking away toward the entrance. Before he walked out, a hand grabbed his shoulder so he turned his head to look over his shoulder.
"Just consider it. Think about it." said Kuroko in which all the Seirin members gaped at him from behind but as usual, he ignored them.
"I'll just consider. But I'll give my word tomo. Later." said Natsumi, walking out of the gym.
"What's a tomo?"
"He meant 'tomorrow', Furihata."
"Oh."
"I think we've gotten ourselves a new teammate!" barked Riko happily.
"He said he'll-"
"Makes no difference. He'll join." assured Riko. "Right Kuroko?"
"If he came here to give basketball a try, then yes."
"Yes!"
"Can we all go now? I'm starving here.." grumbled Kagami. 'That guy...there's something special about him..And what's with that long hair?! He'll get mistaken as a girl often if he doesn't tie it or cut it. Ah, but that hair compared with Riko's and Momoi's...will put both Riko and Momoi to shame...'
Kagami laughed as he gathered his things on his duffle bag.
"What's so funny, Kagami?" asked Riko, questioningly.
"Ah...nothing.." smirked Kagami.
