I'm super sorry about the long wait! I was doing something for my little bro for a few days, not to mention getting sucked into Natsume Yuujinchou thanks to my sisters, and that threw everything off track, but still, you've finally got it! I hope you enjoy and please review! Sorry if it was too short, but it'll probably be better next time.

"Boss, I want the job!"

I stared blankly, as usual, at the young adult before me. He was obviously a college student. With a young face, despite the in depth muscles that could be seen due to the rolled up black sleeves of his hoodie and the silver athletic shorts.

What really struck me was the dark tan skin and the blue hair. How unusual for a japanese person, but I have teal hair and eyes with ghostly pale skin so I don't really have much room to talk.

He was holding a flyer I had just put up in front of me, and was heavily panting. He probably ran all the way over here. For this job. That works with children. And with the shape of his body...He's really desperate.

The athlete began blinking, then looked side to side. "WHAT?!" he suddenly shouted. Why would he? Oh. Wait, kami darn it, he can't-

"He must still be putting up flyers or has already gone home! I can't believe I missed him! I ran at top speed and it'd only been up for 10 minutes!" he moaned, sitting on a little bench meant for when the little children are waiting to be picked up. He can't see me.

10 minutes! 10 minutes ago, I had taken a bus to go onto the border of the slums and a bus back, put up 2 more flyers then walked home! How did he cover that much ground on foot in 10 minutes when it took me a bus?!

"Well, it's true I found it at the very edge, which is a long time from here, so he's probably still out there putting up flyers. Yeah, that's it!" he reassured himself. I felt sort of sad. He was tricking himself into believing there was still hope. Fortunately for him, luck may have been on his side this time.

"Excuse me," I spoke, but he was completely oblivious to it. Sighing, I tapped his shoulder. He screeched and whipped to look at me. My lips tugged at a smirk. "Hello. Are you waiting for someone?" I asked innocently, smiling a bit. Yes, I feel very proud to admit I have learned how to smile. I feel giddy just doing it.

He stared at me, still wide eyed, but then broke into a really big smile. So big, in fact, it nearly caused me to look away. "Yeah! Are you another employee? Thank God someone's still here! I was waiting for him to return, but could you tell me about the job opening?"

He must think that because I'm also very young looking, but I made no move to correct him. This could be interesting. "Yes. Work days are Monday to Saturday, with 950 yen per hour (around 9-11 dollars, so pretty much minimum wage). You duty would be to help entertain the group that is not being taught."

"Taught?""Yes. This place doubles as a Kindergarten," I informed him as he nodded. "Excuse me for asking, but you seem to be a jock. Is that correct?""Um, yeah?" I nodded this time.

"Someone like you is usually not the type to sign up for this kind of job. Why?" I prodded. I knew I had no right, but I was seriously curious. His face grew grave. "My mother said that since she's paying for my college, even though I have a sports scholarship, she said that she shouldn't have to be paying for my living expenses as well.

"She kicked me out, and I looked for a job, but no one was hiring. I headed toward the slums, since that's where you go when you're homeless, but then I saw this flyer! It was really plain, but it clearly said it was looking for employees for a daycare called Vanilla Care, so I rushed over!"

I nodded again. I felt really sympathetic for this ma-no, boy. He had no home, and was grasping desperately for some hope. I smiled a bit. He had found some hope, and I had a plan. I walked passed him, who was watching me in confusion, for the door, stopping before I opened it.

"You've got the job," I said. Out of the corner of my eye, I say joy wash over his face before he looked at me, doubtful. "How can you say that for sure? You're just an employee," he sighed dejectedly. "Let me tell you two things." He stared at my back again.

"I'll let you crash at my place for a while, if you follow me," he stood up, surprise, glee, unbelieving, these all showed on his face. "And?"

Smiling, I opened the door, letting the pleasantly cool late April air in. "I'm not an employee; I'm the owner." He stared at me, again, in shock. "But you're only-""My name is Kuroko Tetsuya. What is your's?" I interrupted. It took him a moment.

"Aomine Daiki."

I hope you enjoyed it! And so the first one is Aomine. I have an idea of which one will appear next and which one will join next, and they are different. Also...DING! DING! DIIIING! Animefan106, you were correct! Thank you for reviewing! Also, I thank ben4kevin, Tuvz, Rikki-tan, Itachigurl93, Sapphire 00, MisanthropicGoddess (sorry, as well) and Blacknight291 for reviewing, plus the people who followed/favorited. Blacknight, I'm sorry, but your first guess was wrong...But! Don't get discouraged! Several of your ideas were quite interesting to me and will most likely be used later on. Please review for a quicker chapter and see ya later!
