Suginei: My last attempt to write an OC fic for KnB was a failure, so I'm trying again after... what, two years? ._.

Okay, so... couple of things~

Earin- pronounced like the name "Erwin"

June- pronounced in English, not Japanese

"Ore-sama"- a very pompous way a guy addresses himself as, directly translated as "The Great Me"

"Kagakuen" is a Japanese pun- Kagaku = Chemistry, Gakuen = Academy, so I guess directly translated it'd be like... Chemistry Garden, lol.

The idea was inspired by Katawa Shoujo~

WARNING: This is mainly a lighthearted fic, but there will be angsty parts... not too heavy, but... I am quite a sadistic writer if I do say so myself.

"Ehh...? A... charity match?" Kagami bounced the ball up and down on the same spot as he leaned his elbow on Kuroko's head, looking at Riko in a questioning manner.

"Yes! I don't know why, but my dad thought it'd be a good idea..." Riko explained, a bright smile plastered upon her face. It looked as though she was trying to hide the vein popping out from her cheek... "Our opponent is Kagakuen, a very prestigious school in terms of science and all that mumbo-jumbo none of us even care about-"

"Despite the fact that the Coach got a hundred percent on the last test..."

"Let me finish!" Riko took in a deep gulp of air before continuing on slowly, "As you can guess, the sport clubs in Kagakuen are probably not... the best... their basketball club in particular... from the information I've managed to gather from the Internet, it says that they not only have no experience at all for the past years since the club existed, the club is even co-ed..."

"Whoa, I'm not trying to be sexist, but... isn't that quite unfair?" Hyuuga scowled lightly as he folded his arms across his chest.

"Despite that, a lot of people joined the basketball club as it is an extremely common sport, thus they are split into teams by "class". Whatever that means, I'm not quite sure, but... the members who will be participating in this charity match are the captains of each of these teams, and one of them is in fact, blind; another is only 142 centimeters tall, and-"

"Wait, wait, I lost you at 'blind'..."

Riko put down the papers, an unreadable expression on her face as she faced the team straight-on, "I don't understand why they requested for us, but I hope they're not looking down on our team just because we're new..."

"Oh, I highly doubt that... Seirin is becoming quite famous, actually-"

"Regardless of that, I expect every one of you to put everything you've got into this match!"

"Goes without saying."

Still... no matter how Riko thought of it... it was still an odd request... and the fact that her father approved of it only meant one thing... they were probably in for a nasty surprise.

Kuroko looked over at the Kagakuen students. It wasn't the day of the match yet, but their school had sent the players over to get used to the environment first, apparently. As expected of a prestigious private school... always doing things at their own pace. Although, he had to say that the students did not look at all like they were from a prestigious private school without their uniforms on, of course. They looked just like... well, normal people. He wasn't expecting anything anyway...

Suddenly, he felt a pat on the head. Turning around, he came face-to-face with a girl with extremely light hair color, even lighter than Kise's hair color, although it didn't have the same "shine" to it. Her eyes had an equally light color, although there was something about her that bothered him... perhaps it was the way her eyes weren't looking straight at him despite the way her head was reacting to the sounds around her, turning towards sudden noises and such...

"Um, may I help you with something?" Kuroko asked as the girl hadn't done anything else besides patting him on the head.

"How cute~ 165 cm~" The girl stated, ruffling his hair up a bit more before sitting down on the bench behind her, "Sorry, I probably startled you. It's just that, during the self-introductions earlier, I couldn't help noticing how a really quiet voice was talking from a location where I don't have to lift my head up to see it." The girl smiled in a pleasant manner while stating what seemed to the Seirin players a quite... offensive observation.

...Wait.

SHE NOTICED KUROKO!?

"Oh, I've heard of him. The one who 'vanishes' on the court, right?" A boy came up behind them, taking the strange girl's hand off Kuroko gently. The home players couldn't help noticing how stunningly beautiful the young boy was... he had blue hair, and his eyes were a clear green, they had the same quality as newly bought glass marbles. "...I see he vanished earlier as well. Although your skill won't be of any use on us."

Kagami just had to wonder if all of these people were this deceiving in their appearances...

"Yo! Fetch Ore-sama a drink!"

"...Huh?"

Kagami looked down to see a tiny girl with very light black hair and grey eyes. Her hair was tied into high twin tails, making her seem more childish than ever as she puffed out her cheeks, tapping her toes against the floor as she looked up at him.

"...I never knew there was someone more rude than Kagami-kun." Kuroko stated, slightly amused by the scene.

"Kuroko!"

"I said fetch Ore-sama a drink!"

"...She's a girl, right?"

"Ah, a hundred percent." The first girl replied. For some reason, the "pretty boy" was holding her hand... although they didn't seem like they had "that" sort of relationship... it was just a feeling, of course. "Though then again, none of us are a hundred percent female or male." The girl chuckled, tilting her head to the side, "Though yes, she is a girl."

"Stop addressing Ore-sama as 'she'! Ore-sama has a name!"

"...Okay, care to tell what it is?" Kagami asked in an annoyed manner as the girl continued to glare at him, trying to look down on him by tilting her chin straight up, to no avail, of course.

"Mei!"

"So we're on first name terms now, huh...? Shouldn't you introduce your full name to someone you just met?"

The girl made scrunched up her face like a monkey that had smelled some rotten scrambled eggs, "Ore-sama's name is Mei! And that is how all of you peasants shall address me by!"

The first girl chuckled again from the side, "I'll go get you a drink, no need to trouble Kagami-chan, Mei-chan."

"Hold on, 'Kagami-chan'!? Wait, how did you know my name!?"

Hyuuga looked at them from the side. The Seirin members had introduced themselves earlier, so they should had only heard their names once... but this was basically a school for geniuses (or rather, nerds and geeks) after all... as expected of their amazing memorization skills?

"Just Vera in particular."

Hyuuga jumped at the voice and turned around to see a girl with the same hair color as the first girl whom had startled Kuroko earlier, except a couple of strands were dyed light blue. For a moment, Hyuuga thought the girl had heterochromia eyes, though as she turned to face him straight, he realized it was just because of the lighting.

"...Are you talking to me?"

"Yes." Simple reply.

"...You... did you read my mind or something?" It was meant to be a joke, but the girl simply looked back at him, not smiling.

"Depends on how you think of it. Although common sense would tell you that a science-based school wouldn't be playing any 'supernatural' tricks on people now, would they?" The girl jumped down from where she was seated in the bleachers and walked over to the girl from earlier who was now trying to calm down the argument between Mei and Kagami.

It suddenly struck Hyuuga how similar the two girls looked standing next to one another. "...Excuse me, but do you mind introducing yourselves?"

"Ah, did we not introduce ourselves? Sorry, sorry! I am Vera."

A foreigner...?

"This is Earin, and this is my younger sister, Ura." Vera nodded towards the pretty boy and the creepy stalker girl. She turned towards the rest of the members who were still sitting in their seats, almost looking bored out of their minds, "Over there we have Maria, June, Sara, Tennou and Priya."

What the... it seems like all of them are foreigners!? Hyuuga thought to himself as he scanned over the group in front of him. "...If I may ask, are you..."

"Foreigners? Arguably." Ura glanced over at Hyuuga, "As you know, our school is a private school, and protecting the identities of the students from the outside world is one of the top priorities of the school board. Thus, most of us here have code names."

The way this girl chose her words were really getting on Hyuuga's nerves... "Your school sounds very restricting."

"It is." Ura replied, again, simply.

Vera sat down next to the member she had introduced as "June", after finally handing Mei her drink and calming the girl down.

"Che, how old are you anyway?" Kagami glared at the small girl. Even though she seemed so innocent at first glance... and when her mouth's not open.

"How dare you talk like that to Ore-sama! Ore-sama is a third-year in high school, just in case you're wondering!"

"...WHAT."

"Yo, 142 cm is not that bad!"

"...For you, maybe."

"Do you want Ore-sama to kill you!?"

"Whoa, whoa!"

Like an angry squirrel... ha.

Looks like this was going to be way more hectic than Riko had anticipated...

Suginei: Hope you enjoyed it even just a little? Don't worry if you get confused about their names! The next few chapters will focus on each of the Kagakuen characters individually. Although it would help if you guys can tell me which character you find most appealing at the moment!
