Alright, this may prove to much for me but I want to try either way. As long as I get some good reviews then maybe I'll have the encouragement to finish through this (going to be) long story.
There wont be that much changes yet since it's only the beginning of the story. So I shall warn you that it'll be a bit slow paste for a while.
Kuroko X kagami
Note: This (~) before a person talking means that there thinking it.
Episode 1: I am Kuroko
Seiren Private High School
The school was buzzing with new students, groups of teens wondered around the schools front yard it almost looked like a festival. Well it kinda was with all the school clubs trying to get the attention of the new students who are looking forward to joining one.
"Interested in Rugby?"
"Have you ever played Shogi?"
"You got to play baseball if you're Japanese!"
"Swimming! It feels great!"
Each club was yelling anything to attract attention, members were walking around with signs above their heads and handing out flyers to passing by students.
A boy who slightly looks like a monkey was raising a flyer above his head yelled out to the crowd, he had a pile in his right hand and a single one on his left. Two other boys who seem to be handing out the same club paper were just behind him.
"Basketball! Basketball club!"
He yelled out. The flyer had a line-art of a basketball and he waved it around in hopes that they would see it as they pass by.
"How'd you like to join the basketball club?"
He yelled out again, the boy who was facing the other way behind him turn and spoke.
"Koganei, you can't be serious."
The boy told him, as he also turned to look at Koganei. Koganei had short layered dark brown hair and his iris was small making his eyes look bigger but they were they also were brown. He responded.
"How else am I suppose to say it?"
he asked the other who had black hair just a bit longer than Koganeis and has dark gray eyes. He fully turned to face Koganei and raised his right index finger to make a statement.
"New kids, join the basketball club!"
He said confidently. Then added another.
"The basketball club needs some serious help!"
Koganei pinged away.
"I've had enough of your jokes, Izuki."
All the while the silent one remained at work handing out the basketball flyers, Koganei noticed and called out to him.
"Mitobe, make sure they hear you!"
He only responded with a nod, Koganei pouted to his response. Mitobe has thick eyebrows and sleepy eyes, but he was fully awake. His hair was also thick jet black and longer than Izukis.
"You're not gonna do it, are you?"
He asked as a blue haired boy who's focus was on a book walked by unnoticed. Followed just behind was another that caught Koganeis attention.
"Hey, do you have a minute?"
Koganei spoke to the boy.
-Following the blue hair teen.-
He was walking and reading the book in his hands when he passed by a recruiter.
"You're a reader, aren't you?"
The recruiter said who had square glasses, but the person he was talking to was not the blue haired teen. It was a boy who also was reading but was walking just shy from behind him.
"How about the literature club?"
He dramatically pulled out one of his club flyers and handed it to the boy, he responded with a little shock but still took the flyer of his hands.
"Sorry, but this is just a manga."
The boy spoke to the recruiter but was talked back immediately.
"Manga are books, too."
He stated, all the while the blue haired teen continued to walk off into the crowd. The boy finally got to a clearing just in front of the map board, he looked at it and saw that is showed the locations of each club stand. He eyed it carefully and spotted a certain club that the he seemed to be interested in. The basketball club.
-Resuming to Koganei, Izuki and Mitobe-
Koganei: "Basketball! Basketball club!"
Izuki: "Join the club and you'll be cute, too!"
Mitobe: "..."
Just as Koganei was going to call out again a shadow blocked the sun from touching him, he paused for a moment to see what it was that created the shadow.
"Are you guys in the basketball club?"
A deep voice spoke, Koganei looked up to see a towering boy before him and a silver chain with a ring as its pendent hung around his neck.
-At the basketball club stand.-
Two people were sitting down under the shade, the one on the left was a girl with short light brown hair and reddish brown eyes. The one on the right was a boy with short black hair, shorter than Koganeis he also has green-grayish eyes behind oval rimless glasses.
"Just a few more would be nice."
The girl spoke with a hoping voice as the boy beside her added a comment.
"We couldn't even get ten."
The girl who was looking at the clip board put it back down and regained her enthusiasm.
"We're just getting started."
She turned to look at him.
"We're a new school."
She raised he hand with two fingers up as she spoke.
"If we win the Inter-High and Winter cup, we'll be a big deal starting next year."
The boy looked less confident and he repositioned his body.
"Are you casually putting pressure on your captain?"
He asked and she replied with her own question.
"Hyuga-kun, have you always been so delicate?"
Her question seemed to have effected him because he raised his hands above his head and rested his elbows on the table. His head was looking down as if he was praying and spoke a small reassuring chant.
Hyuga: "I'll do my best. I will do my best."
She looked around.
"I wonder how the recruitment is going? If they could just bring in some promising ones, that would be..."
She turned back around to the sound of some one approaching. Suddenly she was face to face with Koganei, he had a water fall of tears and his mouth shaped as monkeys.
Koganei: "The new students are here."
He said shakily. She was shocked and could only reply with.
"What?"
"Is this the basketball club?"
The same deep voice asked the question, and finally she looked up to see who it was that was asking. A tall boy with red hair and piercing red eyes looked down at her, his eyebrows spiking to make two ends. He was holding Koganei up by the back of his school uniform collar, everyone at the table paused with amazement.
"yeah."
The girl nodded.
~"Who is this guy? He's got the intensity of a wild tiger."
"I want to join."
He said as he pulled the chair back and stepped over it.
"what?"
He sat down hard and dropped Koganei on the table.
"The basketball club."
He said. Dumbfounded for only a moment she spoke with a little joy and shock in her voice.
"Um, Welcome, welcome! Wait a minute!"
Hyuga passed her a cup of water so she could pass it to the red hair boy before her. She then placed it in front of him.
"I'm sure you know, but our school just formed last year."
He gladly took it and chugged it down.
"We only have second years to compete with, so I'm sure someone of your build would be..."
"I don't care. I'm going after I leave my name."
He interrupted. Putting down the cup and picked up the pen he wrote down his name, Huyga looked very UN-pleased with his attitude. She was watching him sign when she was surprised to she that he didn't write down his reason for joining.
"huh, do you don't have a reason for joining?"
-The Club Sign-Up Form-
Boy's Basketball Club
Name: Kagami Taiga
Previous School: *Somewhere in America*
Reasons:
Kagami picked up the cup and finished what was left, gulping it down with three bobs of his Adam apple. After he finished he crushed the cup in his hand.
"Not really. Basketball's the same, no matter where you join in japan."
He got up and was about to leave when her throw the cup over his shoulder and landing it straight into the trash can. She watched with aww as he was skilled with his aiming. She watched as he walked off, Koganei who has remained silent up until now spoke up.
Koganei: "He's terrifying!"
Koganeis face was full of shock and fear.
Koganei: "Is he really a first year high school student?"
Izuki: "He's one in a million."
Koganei quickly raised his head to look at the two who finally joind them at the stand.
Koganei: "You! Where have you been hiding?"
Huyga looked at the clip board that held Kagamis sign-up form.
Hyuga: "Kagami Taiga. He went to middle school in America. Must of learned from the source."
"Either way, I'm sure he'll be extraordinary."
Koganei: "Yo!"
He got the attention of the two behind the table.
Koganei: "You forgot this club request."
"Oh, Sorry. Let's see Kuroko Testuya...huh? but I don't remember him at all."
Koganei passed the page to her and she read through it.
-The Club Sign-Up Form-
Boy's Basketball Club
Name: Kuroko Testuya
Previous School: Teiko Middle School
Reasons: I was here the whole time, Kuroko Tetsuya.
Teiko Middle School Basketball club.
The moment she read 'Teiko Middle School Basketball Club' She zoomed her face to the page.
Hyuga: "What's wrong?"
She moved the page away from her face in bewilderment.
"H-he's from the Teiko basketball club."
Hyuga: "Teiko? You mean the Teiko?"
"Yeah! And if he's a first year, me must be from the Generation of Miracles!"
Hyuga: "Generation of Miracles...That famous group?"
He looked at her with amazement. She nodded, then knotted her finger in her hair as she leaned back.
"AAAHHHH! Why can't I remember that golden egg's face!?"
She squirmed in her sit in frustration.
-Somewhere in the crowd-
Kagami Tiaga was walking through the crowd with his hand in his pocket not caring for any other club but the basketballs.
~Girl from the basketball stand: "And that guy just came back from America. This year's first years could be ridiculous!"
The blue hair boy was walking only a few feet away from Kagami, still reading his book. He steals a glance up at Taigas back.
-Time skip-
In the gyms, all members that had signed up were at present including the second year regulars.
"All right, looks like all the first years are here!"
The girl from the stand was talking with one of the club members.
One of the first years elbowed to the one beside him, and leaned in to whisper.
"Hey, isn't the manager cute?"
The other replied.
"She's a second year, right?"
"If only she were sexier..."
Hyuga then appeared behind them, both his hands in the shape of a fist punched the back of their heads simultaneously.
Hyuga: "Moron's, you're wrong."
The one they were talking about than walked up to them as the tried to reduce the pain from the back of their heads with their hands. As they notice her they both asked.
"what?"
Riko: "I'm the boy's basketball club coach, Aida Riko. Nice to meet you."
All the first years in the gyms all screamed out.
"WHAT!?"
The one who elbowed the other pointed to the old man who sat down behind her on the bench.
"It's not him?"
Riko: "That's our adviser, Takeda-sensei."
He shakily looked up to the sound of his name, while smiling at the members. The two couldn't help but ask.
"Seriously?"
Another said.
"You've got to be kidding.
Riko: "Now that you're acquainted with Takeda-sensei, you guys..."
She first faced away from them then drastically turned around.
Riko: "Take off your shirts!"
A low huh? escaped the first years, the their voices broke to a yell.
First years: "WHAT! WHY!?"
Riko only gave a smirk for a reply.
All the first year boys lined up and had their shirts off. She was walking across them like she was the captain of a military team. And she played that role beautifully, stopping at each new member to point out there needed improvement areas.
Riko: "Your ability to move instantaneously is a little weak. I bet you do 50 side jumps in 20 seconds, don't you? You'll need to do a little better for the basketball team."
First year: "O-okay."
She looked at the other beside and simply said.
Riko: "You're to stiff."
Then she continued onwards, the two who she just commented were amazed.
Riko in the background: "Do some stretches after you bathe."
First year: "Seriously? She's right."
Riko in the background: "You.."
First year: "What do you mean?"
Riko in the background: "You should strengthen up a bit."
First year: "How'd she know that just from looking at us?"
Riko in the background: "Try some sprints on your own.
Hyuga had walked up to the three baffled first years.
Hyuga: "Her dad's a sports trainer. Collecting data and creating a training regimen. It's a skill she picked up from observing bodies and data every day at his workplace. When she looks at your body, she sees all your physical abilities in numbers."
When Riko was looking at Kagami taigas body she was staring with her mouth open full of aw. She saw his numbers and they were incredible.
Hyuga: "I wouldn't expect any less from a coach."
Kagami only stood there shirtless with an amazing body to show, not really caring about how the coach was staring at him. But it was a bit discomforting so to hid it he asked a question.
Kagami: "What?"
Snapping out of it, she reviewed his numbers again.
~Riko: "What... what is this? All his numbers are through the roof. These aren't the values of a first year high school boy! I can't even see his potential. I've never seen anything like this. Such raw talent!"
Hyuga: "Coach! What are you staring at?"
Hyuga had brought her back to reality.
Riko: " Sorry, Um..."
Hyuga: "You looked at all of them. Kagami's the last one."
Riko: "Really? Huh? Is Kuroko-kun here?"
Riko took a look around.
Hyuga: "Oh, that kid from Teiko..."
Everyone began to wonder who they were talking about, creating whispers in the gym.
~Riko: "I thought I'd be able to pick out someone that strong when I saw him."
Riko: "Looks like he's not here today. All right, let's get started with practice!"
She punch the air above her head to indicate that practice was starting when suddenly a boy moved his hand like her was going to ask a question.
"Um, excuse me."
They were at a standstill, he remain silent as she was because of shock.
~Riko: "How long has he been there?"
Kuroko: "I'm Kuroko."
He stated, the blue hair boy before her said he was Kuroko? He had a beautiful light blue hair and matching blue eyes, though his eyes almost looked like of a dead fish, there is still life with in them. It took her a few seconds to register his presence, she pulled back her hand and screamed.
Hyuga: "What? How long have you been there?"
He asked the question every one else was thinking.
Kuroko: "I've been here the whole time."
~Riko: "He was right in front of me and I didn't notice? What? Did he say he's Kuroko? What? He's practically invisible!"
Hyuga and Koganei ran up to the dumbfounded Riko and an emotionless Kuroko.
Koganei: "What? This guy's part of the Generation of Miracles? He couldn't have been a regular."
Hyuga: "Of course not. Right, Kuroko-kun?"
The three Riko, Hyuga, and Koganei looked at him like they were right but they couldn't be more wrong.
Kuroko: "I played in games."
Of course it didn't truly cross their minds so they began to agree like he had agreed to them first.
Hyuga: "Right? ... What?"
Koganei: "What?"
he looked away thinking about what Kuroko just said to them.
Koganei and Hyuga freaked out, Riko only seemed to be annoyed with the screaming they were doing.
Koganei & Hyuga: "WHAT!?"
while the were questioning their new member Kuroko, Kagami was only interested into one thing they had said.
~Kagami: "Generation of Miracles? What's that?"
Riko: "Take off your shirt!"
Kuroko looked a little surprise but still nodded and started to take off his shirt.
Kuroko: "What? Okay."
The more she looked at him the more she was disappointed and completely shocked.
-Time skip-
Riko was on her way home, taking the transport bus. She listened to her music while thinking about the new first years, Kuroko played in her mind. She looked out the window using it as a board to put out her imagination, there in her mind was Kurokos body with his stats shows very low numbers. Having enough thinking she looked away from the window.
~Riko: "Who is he? His stats are way to low. All his numbers are below average. On top of that, he's already almost at his limit. There's no way he could have been a regular on such a strong team. What on earth..."
-Else were at a street basketball court-
A basketball went through the hoop, a certain red head jugged up to the ball and picked it up to shot another score. Out of the blue his vision blurred just before his next shot making him miss. The miss ball bounced off the rim and landed in the hand of a blue hair boy. Kuroko stood there watching him.
Kagami: "When did you get here?"
Kuroko: "Nice to see you."
Kagami: "What the hell are you doing?"
Asking rather harshly.
Kuroko: "What are you doing here by yourself?"
Throwing the question back at him as well as the ball, Kagami catches it no problem.
Kagami: "Nothing. I'm not doing anything."
He said.
Kuroko: "Is that so?"
Kuroko stared at him, taking in Kagamis features. He was tall, much taller that of himself not that it was obvious. Kuroko was smaller than most of the players even the fist years. To be completely honest he was the shortest player in the team excluding the coach. Even though Kagamis body was hidden underneath the Seiren school uniform he could tell he was ripped, abs and all. Why Kuroko was thinking of this then he had no clue but the moment he first saw Kagami he knew that he was the one.
Kagami: "I was in America until my second year of middle school. I've been appalled ever since I came back by how low the standards are here. I'm not looking to play basketball for fun. I want to play a more serious game that really gets me going."
He gave Kuroko a cold stare sharpening his eyes more than they already were. As he paused from his chatting he looked over Kuroko, he looked so week. Fragile even, like if he were to truly play he would get broken before anyone knew it. But somehow everyone was commenting on how he couldn't have been on the Teiko middle school basketball team yet he claimed that he was. Was he strong or was her weak? A breeze went by pushing Kurokos hair forward and Kagamis back.
Kagami: "I heard all about you. I've heard all about the supposedly strong Generation of Miracles from our year. You were on that team, weren't you? I have a pretty good sense of how good others are."
He put the ball on his index finger and began to spin it.
Kagami: "People who can succeed smell different from the rest."
He then tossed the ball back to Kuroko who in return caught it with both hands.
Kagami: "But something's not right with you. The weak should smell weak, but you... You don't smell like anything. And your strength has not scent. Let me see. Show me... Show me just how good your Generation of Miracles really is."
Kagami was challenging Kuroko to a one on one basket ball match. Kuroko didn't know what to say at first, he was no pro especially if it was going to be against Kagami. But he too wanted to see how good he was, by actually experiencing his movements.
Kuroko: "How Fortunate. I've also been hoping to play against you."
He started to unzipped his school cardigan and pulled it off, swing it to his side as if he was throwing it.
Kuroko: "One on one."
