A/N:Nijimura is not afraid of Akashi,but can be freaked out by him and Midorima can't say no to Takao when she really wants something.
I forgot to mention 1.I don't own Kuroko no Basuke otherwise the story would be very different, story doesn't have a beta so please disregard my errors.
Finally I will be posting a story called "Seirn's basketball" it has no relation to this story,it is merely a what if basically follows the timeline in canon,but is very different in terms of certains character's roles in the timeline,for example Kuroko's and Kise's,but enough rambling,enjoy!
Chapter 1-In the Makings
It was a cold had been in session for about three weeks basketball team had just began practice about two and a half weeks ago and a certain red-head was not happy with his team...
"Shuzo"a menacing voice called
The male in general shivered,"Hai,Akashi?"
"I told you I wouldn't accept failure as an option,correct."It wasn't a question,it was a statement,and Nijimura knew it.
"Yes"
"So..."Akashi looked at his sempai"Why are they showing no progress,when you promised me there would be progress!"Akashi glared at the male.
"Oi I'm still your semapi!Don't get all high and mighty just because I made you the captain alright!"Nijimura yelled angrily at his kouhai.
Akashi signed,calming his person by pinching the bridge of his nose and closing his eyes,"I'm sorry Shuzo"It was rare of Akashi to apologize,but he respected Nijimura and would cross the line with his violent sempai,"It was wrong of me to do that,but I must say I am quite disappointed with this team."
"I know"Nijimura signed,"All the good players from last year quit because they didn't want anything to do with the "Disgrace of Teiko" and decided to join something like baseball or soccer."Nijimura signed continuing"And because of that we only have first years who like the game,but don't know how to play."
Both sighed,closing their eyes.
"Ano c-captain?"one of the first years called out.
Opening his eyes and looking towards the voice,Akashi spoke,"Was do you want."
"Well it's just,we kinda felt,maybe we should,I think we should..."
"Spill it out!"shouted Nijimura,they were starting to piss him off.
"We're gonna quit!"the first year suddenly yelled out.
"W-what?"both Akashi and Nijimura spoke,astonished.
"We're quitting the basketball club"
"We already spoke to the principal and he said it was okay,so yeah"
"Gomenasai,Akashi-san,Nijimura-san"they bowed and left.
The two boys were in a complete state of practically collapsed onto the ground.
"So"Akashi was the first to speak"now we don't have a team and the basketball team is most likely gonna be history."
"Uh-huh"
"What do you suggest we do?"All that followed was wouldn't they be silent,they had no team,nothing!
"Maybe we could try to recruit some new guys?"Nijimura said it a manner that lead Akashi to believe it was the best thing he could think.
"Yeah sure,let's talk about it tomorrow"saying quick goodbyes the captain and vice captain parted ways,still in absolute shock.
By the time the next day rolled around,the news that the basketball team had lost all but two members spread around like a wildfire.
"Shin-chan did you hear about the basketball team losing most of it's members?"asked Takao the minute she caught up to her best was walking down the hall towards their classroom when she suddenly popped up.
"Takao!Don't just sneak up on people like that!"he scolded.
"Eh?Why because you got scared~"Takao really loved to tease her best rolled his eyes at her before opening the classroom door and walking to his the door behind her she sat in her seat right behind Midorima,"But seriously did you hear about the basketball team?"
"Yeah I did,everyones talking about it."replied Midorima,digging for something in his bag.
"I can believe everyone would just quit like that,it hasn't even been a month school started"
"It's basketball team here at Teiko is it's disgrace,so badly it's literally named "The Disgrace of Teiko",so it was bound to happen,nanodayo."Midorima placed a teddy bear on his students just sweat dropped at the sight of the took only a week for them all to learn the green hair teen was obssessed with his luck and Oha Asa.
"Aww,Shin-chan is that your lucky item?It's so cute!"she squealed reaching over and grabbing the fluffy bear,"It's so soft,too~"
"Baka!"He snatched the bear from out of Takao's grasp,"Oha Asa says not to let anyone touch my lucky item or risk losing it and experiencing extreme bad luck!"
Takao pouted in response,"Geez Shin-chan so stingy"
If there was one thing the students of Takao's and Midorima's class knew was that the two teens had a complecated Takao said they were best friends,Midorima denied those claims and said she was a stalker who wouldn't leave him alone which would lead to an argument between said students and even their teacher had believed the two were dating,but when asked Takao just giggled and said"Himitsu" and walked one asked Midorima this happened"Nani?!We're no dating!"Midorima pushes his glasses up in an attempt to cover his blush,"Where would you get such an idea,nanodayo?!"after denying it a couple more times he'd run was then that they learned another fact about Midorima Shintaro,the fact that he was a tsundere.
While attempting to wrestle his lucky item back from Takao the bell had rung startling both teens as they fell to the floor.
"Good Morning students please take your seats"the teacher spoke,ignoring the suggestive position Takao and Midorima were in,it happened almost everyday after all,he quickly jumped off,glaring at those who dared to giggle at the covered his blush by hiding behind his book,like he did every time it merely sat back in her seat,mentally noting to speak with Midorima later.
Akashi and Nijimura didn't know what to day they'd asked people to join the basketball team,but were turned even threatening boys were beginning to lose now they both sat on the floor of the basketball gym,weighing their options.
"I honestly don't know what to do."said Nijimura.
"Perhaps we should give up on this"said Akashi
"Heck no,I'm not gonna give on this team ever,"said Nijimura"basketball is my passion and I know it's yours too,Akashi"
Akashi sighed in response,"Of course it is."The sat in silence contemplating their options once more.
"Oi Takao!Where do you think you're taking me,nanodayo!?"The two basketball players looked up to see a black haired girl successfully dragging a male with green hair.
"Stop struggling,shin-chan"the girl known as Takao whined.
"No!Not until you tell me where you're taking me,nanodayo!"the boy known as "Shin-chan" said.
"Who cares"says Takao
"I do"retorts Shin-chan
Takao was about to say something when she noticed Nijimura and let go of 'Shin-chan' and approaches the two males,"Hey are you guys a part of the basketball team?"
"What's left of it"says Nijimura,bitterly.
"Why do you want to know miss?"asked Akashi in a polite manner.
"We wanna join"she stated happily.
"No 'I' don't"Said Shin-chan.
"Oh come on we did this in middle school too!"she argued"You played on the team while I was the 's not that bad Shin-chan"
"I came to this school for it's academic values, I wanted to go to a school for its athletic values I would have chosen Shuutoku."
"Either way I would have followed you and have become your manager,"Takao paused before continuing"After all I'm Takao Kazumi,forever best friend of Midorima Shintaro!"
"I don't think I've ever called you a friend"retorted Midorima.
Takao ignores him or maybe she just didn't listen,it wouldn't be the first time.
"So we'd like to join"she says cheerfully
"Oi I didn't say I wanted to join!"
"Eh?But you love basketball"Takao pouts.
"Like I said if I-"
"You know if you like basketball what's the point in opposing?"asked Nijimura.
"Shuzo is right,Shintaro if you like the sport you might as well join"Akashi said Matter-of-factly.
"I already said-"
"Shin-chan~"Takao whined.
"What is it Takao...?"He trailed at the girl one could see the kicked puppy look she was giving the green haired and Akashi couldn't help but stare.
"Come on Shin-chan,just this one time can you please listen to me"She said batting her eyelashes and giving him a pout.
"F-fine,but it's not because you asked,it's because I like basketball,nanodayo."he stuttered adjusting his glasses in an attempt to hide his and Akashi couldn't help but sweat drop at how he fell for Takao's trap.
"Great"interrupted Nijimura"All you gotta do is fill out this form and turn it in as soon as you can"he said handing Midorima a slip of paper.
"Right"and with that the two left.
"Perhaps we can save this club"said Akashi
"There was no way I was gonna let it fail to begin with,Akashi"
"I know"
With a new total of three players and one manager on their team,the hope for Teiko's Basketball Team grew...
