I do not own Kuroko no Basket or Cardfight! Vanguard.

The team trailed behind the two who were just chatting softly. This garnered odd looks from the people around, but the duo didn't seem to notice the attention of the public. The two stopped in front of a shop with the name 'Card Capital' written on it.

They stepped in and the team hid behind a bush, peaking through it to look inside the shop, watching as Kuroko pulled out a deck of cards and stood in front a table. On the opposite side of the table stood a tall teen with spiky brown hair, eyes narrowed in concentration and scrowl on his face.

Both teens had one hand on the table saying something before flipping their hands. As the team was watching, trying to figure out what was going on, they didn't notice someone sneaking up behind them. "Hey, what'cha doing?" The entire team flinched and dashed away, all except Kagami who was still in shock.

When he managed to look up, he saw a blonde teen with a blue blazer over his red hoodie. "Umm... I'm just...curious?" The ace questioned, his mind not fast enough to think up an excuse. The blonde smiled and offered a hand to him. "Come on then, I'll show you what we do!"

They stepped in and they were unexpectedly hit by a very heavy air that was full of tension. The blonde lead Kagami to the two, who seemed to be glaring at each other, playing a kind of trading card game. "So, these two guys here are playing a card game called 'Vanguard'. It's basically monster cards and the first to get six damages loses." The guy briefly explained.

Just then, Kuroko and the guy seems to have finished as Kuroko sighed in defeat. "I still can't beat you Kai-kun."

He then noticed Kagami and the blonde standing beside the table, with the former looking at him in shock. He has never seen his phantom act like... that! He's mostly emotionless with the occasional emotion filtering through, but never a full-on expression like that!

"Domo Miwa-kun. Kagami-kun, why are you here?" Kagami seemed very flustered and attempted to make an excuse. And one look from the pair of teal eyes and he gave up. . He explained that Seirin was curious and followed him and Morikawa to the place called Card Capital.

Kuroko didn't seem bothered at all. He just looked like he was used to Seirin's nosy behaviour. "Then would you like to learn how to play Vanguard? Since you are here, you might as well learn it. Right?" Miwa suggested. Kagami just shrugged. "I'm Taishi Miwa by the way, the guy next to me is Toshiki Kai." "Kagami Taiga." Now that they've introduced themselves, Kuroko must have known the two for a long time, he's calling them by their first name for god's sake!

Soon, Kagami got to learn more about their mysterious phantom. Kuroko was as competitive as when playing a basketball match, which was something different as the red tiger never saw those types of emotion from their phantom off the field. It was also fairly fun to tease the others who ran away about what Kuroko was doing.
