A/N: Okay, so I figured I'd update this first before 'Waiting' since it's shorter and easier to make. Besides, the idea had been there since I was in the hospital. Anyway, here's the 2nd installment for this one-shot series!

Second Impression: Kise Ryouta

In case of with Kise Ryouta, it possibly happened like this…

Kise Ryouta, 14 year old, a very pretty boy with soft, straight, short yellow hair and warm amber colored eyes under long golden eyelashes, part time model slash member of Generation of Miracle, a promising growing star of basketball prodigy.

No one didn't know who Kise was. He was very popular. Ton of girls worshipped him and would die to become his girlfriend, or simply to only be graced by his charming and enticing smile. Moreover, he was rich, sort of, being a model and such. He was cheerful and bright, and even though he needed more time to understand school lesson (because he didn't have time to study at home, obviously), he kept up his grade at bay.

Generally, Kise led a very happy, healthy middle school life as one of Teikou's student. Once upon a time, he might have felt bored because all the sports were too easy to master for him, but right now, he had a life-goal to be a better basketball player than Aomine Daiki. All and all, Kise was very satisfied with his life.

Although… sometimes he wished he could be less popular, especially when it was involving his (now and then, but mostly) rabid fan girls running after him in the middle of the road.

"Kise-kuuuun! Kyaaaa! Please marry meee!"

"Nooooo! Please be my boyfriend first!"

"Back off, bitches! Kise-kun is mine!"

"No way in hell! You, back off!"

"Kise-kuuun!"

Kise was running for his dear life because he really didn't want to get caught by those crazy fans. He had had enough of them because he nearly got kidnapped several times before, and Akashi really hated it when Kise was caught in some short of scandal (or drama) with those girls.

Kise shuddered imagining what kind of punishment the red head would give him if that happened again. No way, no sir. One time was enough traumas. Thank you very much.

Luckily, he was near school-gate and just a few meters ahead, he would be safe inside the school vicinity. However, he didn't count on more girls appearing from both outside (from the opposite direction) and inside of the gate. Judging from their looks? Yep, same obsessive fan girls, only from his own school and neighboring schools a few blocks away.

Oh, and they crowded around the gate, waiting for Kise.

And now they saw him coming.

Shit!

"Kyaaaaa! That's Kise-kun!"

"Where?! Where?!"

"Aww! You're right! Kise-kuuuuuun!"

Okay. Kise had to think a way out of this (soon to be bloody) mess in the next few seconds or his life would be forfeited since behind him was shark's mouth and in front of him was crocodile's.

Kise was in the verge of panicking because he didn't have anywhere to run. He was half resigning to his fate when someone seemed to appear out of nowhere, alright, exaggerating. The guy just walked out of the small alley between buildings that was usually never used because it was so narrow and dark, though, he seemed to immediately notice the danger of showing up in the middle of the 'almost exploding war' state of affairs because he just grabbed Kise's shoulder so suddenly, effectively startling and stopping the blond from running, and then immediately yanked his body into the alley.

Kise squeaked in total shock at the unexpected gesture, but his voice was slightly muffled because the other guy looped his arms around Kise's body, one hand holding his back while the other grabbed his head to duck and hid Kise's face on his chest, rendering Kise immobile and relatively hidden.

"Ssh," the stranger said softly as the sound of horde of fan girls running approaching and Kise tensed, shutting his eyes until the screaming of those agitated girls (since they lost sight of Kise) went far away from that alley.

A few minutes later, the situation was calming down and silence befell the alley. Kise blinked up his eyes as he wiggled slightly to loosen the other guy's hold on his body. The guy seemed to catch the message and released Kise immediately.

"Sorry, you okay?"

Kise looked upward stiffly at the taller teen. Well, Kise was tall himself for a boy in his age, but the other was taller, maybe as tall as Aomine-chi and there was approximately two inches difference between him and the teen.

Besides, his eyes were… intense. Blood colored eyes, just like Akashi's, but they seemed more… wild, the black ring around the red irises looking awesome, and his face was rather dauntingly handsome, plus… he just saved Kise from his doom.

"Ah, y-yeah! Thank you, um…" Kise honestly had never seen him before, so he tilted his head aside, silently questioning who this boy was.

Oh, the boy's eyebrows were split. They looked strange, but funny. Kise almost chuckled. His hair color was rather weird too. Flaming red at the top and dark brown at the bottom.

"Kagami Taiga," the stranger introduced himself and Kise beamed.

"Kise Ryouta! Nice to meet you!" It was a chance to make a new friend, and this Kagami guy seemed interesting.

"Aah," Kagami's expression softened a fraction and a nice smile bloomed on his face. Kise was surprised that the guy could make such look. He half expected that he would grunt or something, but he actually smiled,

"By the way, why did you get chased around by them earlier? Did you do something?"

At the wondering question, Kise laughed nervously. "Yeah, well… fans can be scary sometimes, so… eh?" then he just realized that that question was weird. "Wait, you don't know me?"

Kagami raised his eyebrows. "We just met today," he stared at Kise oddly, making a face as if saying 'duh'.

"No way, you really don't know me? How rare…" Kise was impressed that there was actually someone in his age that didn't know him. Apparently he had overestimated his popularity too much.

Well, it was nice once in awhile to make someone know him beyond the façade of model and prodigy title.

"What is it, are you some short of celebrity?" Kagami looked almost laughing at that, clearly joking.

"Eeh, I'm quite popular, you know!" Kise pursed his mouth slightly in a whiny pout, but then he grinned, finding it funny himself.

"Ah, but I understand. You're quite pretty with that face. I understood why those girls would chase you around," Kagami chuckled then. "Though, I have no idea that Japanese girls can be very crazy too. Women are scary indeed," he nodded philosophically and Kise cracked at that.

"Oh man, you're funny! Ne, you're in Teikou as well, right? What grade and class?" Kise then proceeded to try to know more about him while steered him to walk to the school gate after making sure that it was safe to come out from their hiding spot,

"Yup, just transferred yesterday. I think I'm in 2-D or something." Kagami casually answered.

"Seriously? That's beside my class! I'm in 2-C!" Kise grinned widely.

"Oh? Then we can hangout during recess period," Kagami grinned back as widely.

"Of course! I'd love to!"

Yes, there was an instant friendship blooming between the two. And damn if Kise didn't want it because it was so atypical to get his ass saved by a very interesting guy. He was funny to boot! And Kise kinda bet with Kagami's height, he probably played basketball as well.

Kise couldn't wait to get to know Kagami Taiga better!

End of Second Impression

A/N: Alright, so this is the second one-shot. Short of KagaKise if you squint *lol*. Kay, for next one I'll probably try KagaMido. But that might slightly challenging. Meh, I'll still do it. Hopefully I can find a nice idea for that *giddy*
