Hi guys! Chapter 2 is up. Still very short though.
By the way, thanks for the review Redmoon2!
I rate this as K, so this fanfic is not up for romance.
Again, I do not own KnB or RkB.
Chapter 2
The Girls' Basketball Team
Kuroko's POV
It has been a week since I agree to the coaching.
Today Kenshin Academy students start their club activities, so I am expected to be there this afternoon.
And going there is equal to missing Seirin's basketball practice.
I actually managed to convince coach to let me miss afternoon practices on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with the exception of days with practice matches.
*Flashback*
Seirin basketball regulars gather in Maji burger for a meeting.
Everyone was there, Hyuuga and Kiyoshi with each a burger and a drink, Izuki with a coke and his pun notebook, Kagami with a mountain of burgers, Kuroko with a milkshake and the rest with either a burger, a drink or a sundae. They occupied a long rectangular table, Riko sitting at the head, while the Kuroko and Kagami sit at the other end. Their purpose is to revise their plans on gathering members and their goals.
Riko started the conversation: "We won the Winter Cup last year, so what are you all going to aim for this year?" She walked along the table, approaching every player one by one.
Hyuuga: "Win the Interhigh!" Smile.
Kiyoshi: "Let's have fun~~" Smack.
Izuki: "Interhigh…Coke INTERnal gives us HIGH fun!" Smack.
Kagami: "Nothing much in particular." Smack. "Ouch what was that for!"
"And I'd expect you guys to give me a better answer!" Riko yelled furiously, "Kuroko!"
"Coach, I'd like to make a request to not join practice on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon. I have something to do on these days…"
"And why do you think I will allow you to skip practices! You are not answering my question!"
SPLASH!
Suddenly, silence engulfed the table. Riko froze, one finger pointing at Kuroko. Kuroko's face had the same old expression, but his twitching eyebrows suggested otherwise. There is a patch of white on his midnight blue uniform, and his right foot itching to stepped on the paper cup that rolled back and forth on the floor, as if it was laughing at someone.
"Ah…err….erm…." Riko swallowed. Everyone did the same thing.
"Deal?" Kuroko asked, his pair of hollow eyes scanned everyone, a smirk visible on his face.
"Deal..." Riko sweated out of nervousness.
After that, no one dares to question him.
*Flashback ended*
Normal POV
When the bell that signals the end of school goes off, Kuroko literally disappears from his seat. He doesn't say bye to Kagami, and dashes out of school as quickly as possible. He wouldn't want to be late on his first day of coaching.
Kenshin Academy is a big school. The architecture of the buildings is magnificence, as expected from a rich school. The buildings are painted white, a semi-circle balcony protruding from the middle. There is a clock at the highest point of the school building, striking every hour, and last but not least, a classy fountain under the balcony. If it isn't for the name 'Kenshin Academy' on the school gates, the building can pass as an English mansion. That is just how grand it is.
Kuroko walks over to the security guard stationed outside the gates. The security guard is alert, but not alert enough to notice Kuroko standing in front of him.
"Erm, may I enter the school, name's Kuroko Tetsuya, I believe Takamura-sensei has made arrangement so that I can enter the school grounds." Now that makes the school guard turn to him and let out a gruff yelp. He only nods, then points in the direction of the gymnasium. Kuroko bows and walks towards the gym.
He stands in front of the gym, takes a deep breath, pulls the door handle…
Tomoka's POV
It is like a dream.
I thought I would not be playing basketball anymore.
And here, a girls' basketball club is formed.
And today, we will start our first practice.
In the gym
"Mokkan! How do I look?" Maho asks.
"Looks good," I respond.
"How about me, and Airi-chan?" Hinata, a girl too small for her age with pink hair, asks, with a girl who is too tall for her age beside her, shifting uncomfortably.
"It looks good on you, Hina, Airi!" the twin tails helps me to answer.
"Can you guys hurry up, Kuroko-san will be here at any moment!" a girl with round glasses, Saki yells impatiently at us.
"Yes!"
From Takamura-sensei, the person who will coach us is Kuroko-sensei's son, and he is a high school student. Obviously everyone is anxious about him. Hinata already refers him as oniichan, even before meeting him.
So, why are we worried about our looks? That is because of Maho's idea. She brings five sets of maid uniforms to school, and wants us to wear them to greet Kuroko-san.
I wonder if this is a good idea, since there are a few scenarios that will possibly happen:
1. If he is a strict person, then we will all get scolded, then he decided not to teach us, club disbands.
2. If he is an otaku, basketball club-maid club
3. He might forgive us.
Suddenly the door creaks, and we quickly line up in front of the door, eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Welcome back, master!" we say it in chorus, as we greet…the wind.
"Huh?!" we all blink our eyes in confusion. The door is ajar, but there is no one. The door is made of heavy wood, so it is impossible for the wind to blow it open.
"Where is the coach?" I think. Suddenly I think I see a hand moving in front of me…is it my imagination?
"Good evening, I am Kuroko Tetsuya, nice to meet you all." A low voice rings in my ears.
The owner of the voice is standing in front of the door, a boy, to be exact.
Wait…isn't that where we are looking at just now?
"EeeeeeeeeyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!"
Kuroko's POV
That is pretty much an expected reaction. The scream, I mean.
Everyone does that, when I voice out.
My eyes scan the group in front of me. There are five girls, so they barely make a team.
A girl with short dark pink hair stands in the centre. I guess she is the leader.
A blonde twin tails is on her right, she is so shock that she hugs the blue-haired girl beside her.
A very tall brunette (as tall as me) stands on her leader's left, face flustered in confusion.
A light pink-haired girl on the far left, she is the first to recover from shock, calls me 'oniichan'.
They all stand there like statues, with the exception of the little pink girl, and take a good five minutes to revert back to their own self.
"So…Sorry for not noticing you! My name is Minato Tomoka!" the girl with short pink hair stutters.
"Misawa Maho, nice to meet you!" the blonde girl introduces herself. She let go of her friend after the blue girl scolded her.
"I am Nagatsuka Saki," the blue girl says while she adjusts her glasses.
"Hina's name is Hakamada Hinata, and she is Kashii Airi-chan," the short pinkette says while pointing to the tall brunette. The brunette nods quickly and bows.
Right, I am supposed to coach a girls' team.
…what is the first thing to do on the first day of the club?
Haha, it is impossible to start the club activities like how Riko did, so what will Kuroko do?
Please look forward to it!
