Hey there beautiful people! This will be my first Kuroko no Basuke fic! It will certainly be a multi chapter fic and I will keep it going with weekly updates! Please enjoy!
Chapter 1: Summer vacation
"Bonzai!" Everyone cheered together. We all were gathered in the team locker room after a quality practice. Raising our fists in the air as we all celebrated the end of the school year.
I was the most relieved since I didn't have to worry about keeping grades up any more. I was literally on my last legs there. I just could not wait for my upcoming summer.
"Everyone listen up!" Riko raised her voice so everyone could hear. "We've had an awesome school year guys! You all make me so proud to be this teams coach!" she stated joyfully. Everyone cheered. "And I can't even bet that we'll have an even better summer training!" she continued. Team Serin was going to cheer again but it quickly turned into unsure and questioning murmurs.
"Come on, summer is supposed to be our break." Koganei piped up.
"Yeah, what's up with that?" said Hyuga. "It's the end of the season, so we won't have any games any time soon."
"Which is why I want you all to be prepared for next season! Right Kagami, I know you'd back me up." She and everyone else turned their attention to me. I straightened.
"Um…well…about that…" I chuckled uneasily while rubbing the back of my head.
"What? What is it?" she questioned. I haven't told anyone yet, but I was going to have to tell them sometime.
"I'll be going back to America soon so…" Before I got to finish my statement, my ears where filled with screaming 'WHAT!'s.
"Say it isn't so Kagami! We don't want you to leave!" Koga sobbed clinging on to my arm.
"You aren't leaving the team are you?" Kiyoshi asked. "You're like one of our strongest players so we kind of need you."
"Kagami-kun? Is that true?" Kuroko, who I almost forgot was sitting next to me, caught my attention. I could just see imaginary cat ears on his head sag with sadness.
"I'm not leaving for good, geez. I'm going to visit my grandfather." I explained quickly. The old man left me here to fend for myself. My dad told me to come and visit not too many days previous.
#Flashback:
The annoying shrill sound of my phone went off, disrupting my sleep. I snapped open my eyes and glanced at the clock. "Who the hell is calling me at 3 am?" I complained. Grabbing my phone I looked to see who it was. Sighing roughly I answered it. "Hello?" I answered in English.
"Why do you sound like you just woke up? Boy! It is 1 am in the afternoon!" the voice over the phone scolded.
"Dad, how many times do I have to tell you? There a fourteen hour difference from where I am! It's 3am here!"
"Oh right, I forgot about them fancy time zones."
"What do you want?"
"Why do you have to be so cold all the time? I was calling to tell you that you comin' back to America for the summer! Your mother and I miss you dearly and so does your poor grandfather!"
"What? Already? Fine...but-but I get to bring a friend along. I'm not going there alone again!" Last time my folks were too busy to even be home when I was last visiting, I barely even got to see them.
"You don't have to worry my son! Your mother and I took a vacation from work to spend more time with you! Isn't that nice of us?" Dad said happily over the phone.
I sighed. I knew I shouldn't be mad at them for not spending much time at home. They always seem like their trying their best to be with family, but at the same time their jobs are very important as well. "I still want to bring a friend though." I told him.
"Ok, fine. I would love to meet your new friends anyway! Your leaving a few days after your last day of school! I'll fax you the plane tickets tomorrow, bye. Or as they say in Japan, Ja ne!" Click.
I hung up then rubbed my temples. I hated news dropped on me at last minute.
#End of Flashback
"How long will you be gone?" Riko asked. "We need you here!"
"I dunno, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow so about a month…maybe."
"That's almost the whole summer!" Everyone exclaimed. Of course I'd miss the practice sessions with the team, but I'm certain they'd live without me. I took a glance at Kuroko who was staring right at me.
I felt my heart skipped a beat. What was it about Kuroko that makes me do that? Maybe it's because he's kind of creepy when he does that. I could never figure out what's going on in that kids mind. In the past year I've known him, Kuroko is probably my closest friend that I've made ever since Tatsuya.
The next day, Kuroko insisted on hanging out at the local basketball court which was their usual hang out on weekends. "Is this your way of seeing me off or something?" I chuckled warmly, placing a hand on his head.
"I guess it is." He said with his usual quiet voice. "I just want to play basketball with you a bit more before you have to leave." He said looking down and gripping the basketball in his hands. I smirked.
"Well, if that's the case…" I smacked the ball out of Kuroko's hands taking the boy by surprise then made a quick dunk in the basket.
"H-hey! Don't do that please." Kuroko protested. I laughed loudly. Moments like this were always fun when it's just the two of us.
I knew I made the right choice.
"Hey Kuroko." I panted. I slouched on the bench while Kuroko was lying on his back beside me. We have been playing for a half an hour which wore us both out. He looked up at me. "I didn't want to ask you this in front of the guys but," I began. "Would you like to come with me to America?"
"Huh?" Kuroko pushed himself up on his elbows. "You mean, come with you? I can't. I wouldn't want to burden you with something so major."
"Pff, don't worry about it. Plus we already got you ticket to surprise you. So you're going whether you like it or not." I ruffled his moist hair.
"I-I don't know what to say. Thank you very much Kagami-kun." I could see Kuroko's cheeks blush a bit. "Me? Going to America? I've never even been to Tokyo if you could believe that." He said anxiously. I smiled at how excited he looked. To the normal person, Kuroko wouldn't look that excited, but I have come to recognize his neutral facial expressions to how he's really feeling right now.
"If you never been to a big city before, then you going to love New York. It's getting late so you should go home and pack."
"Ah, Hai."
And that is the first chapter everyone! I know there are a lot of headcannons in this, so please don't criticize. I don't have much knowledge about Kagami's family other than his grandpa so, I'm making it up as I go. The next chapter will be updated next Saturday! See you then!.
