So because in my story "to love a prince" everyone seems to see Kagami's dad as a prick I've decides to make a fanfic about Kotaro and his son. The story will talk a lot about kagami's childhood (and you all know how I like to give my characters heart breaking childhoods) so be warned. Also this story will be a yaoi but I don't know if sex will be in it though it will be mentioned so rated M just to be safe. Enjoy.3333#

Kagami Taiga, to say the least, wasn't a very depressed person; in fact he's the exact opposite. He's usually filled to the brim with passion and determination, always being the one person to never lose hope. Safe to say that his team loved to see that warm, good hearted smile on his face that shined brightly after a victory. The red headed idiot's smile was contagious, thought no one minded KagamiKagami smile syndrome. Even still...

This was a little much.

Slamming the innocent orange ball violently through the hoop, a very elated red head landed on his feet. "Sorry," he scratched his cheek sheepishly, "I'm just in such a good mood. I'll try not to break anything like last time," he apologized before jogging to his water, leaving his teammates in a state of shock. The normally brash, hot headed power forward was acting very energetic and -dare I type it- polite. Apologetic even. Not to mention he just willingly owned up to a mistake...

Riko swore she saw the world turn upside down, only to find that she crashed to the floor in shock.

"Kagami-kun," she said hesitantly. "Hm?" "Are you sure your alright, your not acting like yourself." It wasn't like the change was bad, if anything it was an improvement.

But it wasn't Kagami.

"Eh? Yeah I'm great, never been better honestly," there it goes again, that damn smile. His smile faltered at the looks he was receiving from his team. "What," he sounded genuinely confused, "am I..bothering you guys?" There was only a slight touch of hurt in his voice, but I was still there and everyone heard it.

Izuki spoke first.

"N-no it isn't that," he stammered in a attempt to comfort the ace. "It's just, your not usually like this. It isn't bad, trust me, it's just...," "different," Hyuuga finishes. For a moment the red head seemed to be contemplating about what was said. It wasn't their business to pry, but for something to distract the ace this much was too tempting.

They had to know.

"Kagami-kun," a monotone voice spoke, causing everyone to jump. "Will you quit," the whole team yelled at the small bluenett. Kuroko almost looked like he was pouting. "I've been here the whole time so quit acting so scary," he turned to his light with an annoyed twitch of the brow. "Kagami-kun, what is it that has you so happy?"

The question didn't take him by surprise, he just expected it to come from either Hyuuga or Riko. "Ah well I'm just having a guest over from America, that's all." No one noticed the way the door creaked open, nor did they notice the tall figure that stood a mere four feet away.

"Really, Taiga, just a guest from America? Your so cruel to me."
