Disclamer: I don't own the rights to Kuroko no Basket.
Ever since the Generation of Miracles went up against the Jabberwocks, they wondered what it was like over in America. Kagami and Himuro are the only source they have to find out what it is like.
The day after the Winter Cup ended the group of Kise, Aomine, Kuroko, Kagami, and Momoi where headed to a court located near the stadium. They all agreed to do this as they watched the finals between Yosen High and Rakuzan High. Yosen High put up a good fight but came up empty when Mibuchi used his "earth" shot and fouled out Murasakibara. After that Rakuzan ended up winning by 7 points with a final score of 86 to 79.
"Akashi really did step up his game yesterday.", said Kise as they entered the park.
"Not only Akashi but Rakuzan as a team kicked it up a notch.", responded Aomine.
"This year turned out different.", said Kuroko. Everyone looked at him with a "how so" type of look. "Yosen was really strong this year because they beat both Serin and Too Academy."
Aomine looked up. "Yea, Muraskaibara is a monster to deal with. Himuro also is kinda tough to play against."
They all walked in silence as they walked onto the court. The day then consisted of them challenging each other and walk ons. Kagami ended up loosing to Aomine 6 times in a row before Aomine let him win to have his moment, only to crush it when he denied that he went all out.
Everyone there found this funny and started to laugh. Kuroko being himself just smiled. He thought it was funny but he didn't laugh. Kagami challenged Aomine again wanting to duel by going all out but Aomine stated he was tired. Kise on the other hand wanted to play Kuroko to see if he could beat the Vanishing Drive. In all effort, Kise got overwhelmed and Kuroko won his 1st one on one of the day.
After they left Kagami was walking back to Serin High School with Kuroko. "Today reminded me about my home.", Kagami said. Kuroko looked up at him. "Aomine was like one of the guys I trained with when I went over back before our first Winter Cup. Kuroko looked like he was in deep thought. "Was he tougher than Aomine?", Kuroko asked. Kagami shook his head.
The next day Kagami got a text message from Alex saying that she was going back to visit her family. This made Kagami wonder something. Should he go back and see his family? He was an only child and they seemed to care about him because they sent him at least one letter each week. Kagami decided to ask Himuro about what he should do.
