(c) I do not own Kuroko no Basket, but I have full rights to Miyako Sao and her character development, however.
I also noticed how I called Hyuuga by his last name and same with Riko. gomeeen. ;A; I'm just going to call Hyuuga by his first name and Aida by her last. Okay? DDx don't kill me...
" Interested in rogby?"
" Ever played shogi?"
Frantic club leaders shouted through the crowd of students, looking for more members for the following school year. Seirin had been only two years old, leaving the school to be new to the community and society. Most of the club members returned for the following year, and most faded away to try out new activities. Miyako sat at a table that resembled a few others. She sat next to Riko, who sat next to Hyuuga. Riko and Hyuuga chatted on about how they thought the turn out for this season would be, while Miyako kept quiet and fiddled through papers. Her crutches leaned up against the table gracefully, and her leg did indeed look beat up. She had been asked about her leg numerous times already and it was only an early hour into the morning. The thing that angered her most about the banadages is that only her ankle was broken, yet it look like her whole leg had been. Miyako worn her hair down today, her royal blue locks ending just next to her bust. She had her bangs pulled back while in a braid like always.
Kaganei stood a few feet from the table, advertising the group loudly. Izuki looked annoyed at the boy's attempt to bring in newcomers to the club. Izuki stopped to scold Kaganei while Miyako watched from behind. She met the second years through Riko, like usual. Most of her friends came through Riko. The thing that she felt awkward about, though, is that she was a first year and not a second. Everyone she knew was always a year older, that is why she secretly had wished for first years to enter the club as well.
" Basket ball! How'd you like to join the basketball club? " Kaganei asked to the air. Kaganei waved a basketball flyer around his head, making sure to stand clear. He was ignored by a few students standing around him until Izuki turned to face him.
" Kaganei.. You can't be serious! " Izuki said in return. " Well, how else am I suppose to say it, Izuki? " Kaganei looked at him from over his shoulder, sending him a blunt and wide-eyed look. He had been trying his best, obviously.
" Hmm.. -" Izuki raised a finger as he looked down. " New students, join the basketball club. The basketball club needs some serious help! " Kaganei stared at Izuki almost as if he were the one to say ' Are you serious? '. " Your jokes are getting old, Izuki. "
Meanwhile, in the background, Mitobe had made an attempt to advertise while the two had bickered. As the three carried on advertising, Miyako had stared off into space. She looked almost hypnotized, and remained in that state for quite a period of time. Her hand held her chin as if she was about to fall asleep. Miyako had been extremely tired, considering she couldn't sleep at all due to Riko talking in her sleep all night. Her eyes began to flutter open and close as she fell asleep, small, adorable snoring noises escaped her mouth within an instant. She relied more and more on her arm strength to hold her head in her hand. Her silky, thick, hair began to drape over her face with ease, only for it to be blown out again by the wind.
" Just a few more entries would be nice.. " Riko began to Hyuuga. She held the stack of papers in her hand that Miyako had been playing with earlier. Riko shuffled the papers over and over, re-reading each entry with a keen eye. " We couldn't even get ten. " Hyuuga agreed. " I guess being a new school is a problem. If we win the Inter-High-" Riko began to count off on her fingers. "-and Winter cup, we'll be the stars next year. " She smirked proudly. Hyuuga rose an eyebrow at her, another sweat drop forming on the side of his temple. " Are you just casually putting pressure on your captain?" " Oh, come on. Hyuga-kun, have you always been this sensitive?" Hyuuga sighed, throwing his hands halfway into the air. " I'll do my best. I will do my best. " He chanted.
Riko turned her head to see the sleeping Miyako that sat next to her, and she laughed with a smile. She poked Hyuuga and pointed to Miyako, whom was sound asleep. " What should we do, coach? " Hyuuga asked. Riko laughed again. " Let's let the poor child sleep. She's had it rough over the past few months, eh-" She was cut off by Kaganei meeting her face to face as she turned her head back to it's regular position. She jumped back, hitting Miyako in the arm. Since the two of them were sitting so close, Kaganei was also in Miyako's face. Miyako's eyes immediately opened, and she fell out of her chair as she jumped along with Riko.
" E-EHH! " She yelled, as she fell. Riko quickly grabbed her shoulder before she could fall half way and pulled her back to her balance. Miyako yawned loudly and rubbed her eyes. She thought she saw a very tall man standing infront of the trio, whom was holding Kaganei by his collar. She continued to rub her eyes, trying to get them to focus in on the scene. " K-Kyuu..." She mumbled.
" The new students just arrived... " Kaganei said. " What? " Riko looked upwards to what was holding Kaganei, and was surprised by a humongous first year with red and black hair. He was taller then Hyuuga even, and this is what surprised Riko most.
" Is this the basketball club? " The boy asked, but eveyone just stared, except for Miyako that is. She was still working on her eyes. Her eyes soon came into focus as she studied the tall figure. She jumped again, the other four staring at her. " E-EH! " Miyako pointed at the boy in confusion. Riko suddenly clamped a hand over Miyako's mouth, blocking what she was about to say. Riko knew she wasn't good in these situations of surprise, and knew that she would begin to ramble on and on.
" Yeah. This is it. " Riko said with a nod, not taking her eyes off of the boy.
" I want to join. " He simply tossed Kaganei aside, and pulled out a seat on the opposite side of the table. By now, Miyako had shaken off her fright. She was still hypnotized, though. ' H-He's kind of... cute..' She didn't notice everyone staring at her until Riko had already given him a cup of water. Riko poked her in her arm and laughed.
" Y-Yes? " Miyako jumped, only for puzzled looks from everyone around the table. " Uhm.. Mi-chan.. we need the clipboard. Yes, the clipboard that is under your arm. " Riko smirked. Miyako blushed, lifting her arm up and scooting the clipboard across the table. The boy signed his name as Riko talked.
" You know, Someone with your build is excellent for th-"
" I don't care. " The boy stood, crushing the cup in his hand. " Basketball is the same everywhere you go in Japan. " He tossed the paper cup over his shoulder. Miyako watched as it landed directly into the garbage bin. He began to walk off in a different direction. The four of them sat and watch with awe.
" H-He's terrifying! Is he seriously a first year student? " Kaganei wailed. He threw his head onto the table on the stack of papers. Miyako beamed. " A first year student! EH! THAT THING WAS A FIRST YEAR? " She crumbled in her seat. " I-I feel so small... " Hyuuga just laughed it all off. " He's one in a million. You don't see that everyday. " Izuki said from behind.
Kaganei jumped, startled. " YOU! Where were you hiding! " Kaganei and Izuki bickered more. Hyuuga then picked up the clipboard and read the information aloud. Riko and Miyako surrounded the clip board. " Kagami Taiga. Hmm.. He went to school in America, Must have learned from a source. "
" Either way-" Riko spoke. " I'm sure he'll be extraordinary. " Kaganei examined the other paper that had laid under the clipboard, disrupting the two from their conversation of awe about Kagami. " Yo. You forgot this club request. " He waved the paper foolingly in front of Miyako, Rio and Hyuuga.
" Ah, sorry. Thank you. " Riko took the paper with ease, and examined it as well. " Let's see. Kuroko Tetsuya... huh? " She held the paper closer to her face. " It says he was on the middle school team... but I don't remember him at all. " Riko scanned the page, this time almost slamming the soft paper into her face. " H-He's from the Teiko BasketBall club! " Hyuuga turned and looked at her as if she were crazy. " Teiko? As in theTeiko? " He grabbed the paper from Riko and joined in.
" Yeah. And if he's a first year, he must be from the Generation Of Miracles! " " That famous group? "
Riko began to spin around, waving her hands and arms in circles dramatically. " Why can't I remember that egg's face? And that guy just came back from America! This year's first years could be rediculous! "
The team had formed in the gymnasium after school, and Miyako was in charge of role-call. Now, the young bluette had been sitting in a wheel chair since Riko convinced the head office that it would be easier for Miyako to move around. She loved her new chair and agreed that it had been a lot easier to move around. The only back lash was that her hair draped over the back of the fabric that supported her back. She hated it because she always had thought that her hair would be caught inside the wheel or something similar. Miyako had begun role when all of the males underestimated her, ignoring her. All of the males except a tall, built, boy with red-black hair.
" Hey. " She called. The boys still didn't listen, and she began to become annoyed. " Hey. " Miyako's voice rose, and caught a few male's attentions. Though, some, including Kaganei continued to talk. Miyako sighed and wheeled herself over to behind Kaganei, coming to a harsh stop on top of his foot. " Y-OWWWWWWWWW! " He yelled, grabbing his foot and hopping around the court. " Are we all ready to listen, or what? Because, I'll just leav-"
" Get to the point, wheely. " Kaganei called over his shoulder. Miyako's left eye twitched, and Kagamei could have sworn he saw steam flowing from her hair and nostrils. " Do not think I won't break your toe and you can sit out all season.. I'm pretty sure Riko-san would allow it since you're being disrespectful. " Miyako shot. She sighed, looking at the clipboard once more. " Everyone's here. " She called towards Riko and Izuki.
Riko and Izuki had been talking in the corner of the inbounds, while the players soon began talking once more. Miyako wheeled herself over to the small group, joining in on the chatter. Little did she know, two first-years were talking about something other then the season.
" Nee. Don't you think the manager's kinda cute? " The shady, brown haired own whispered to a fellow player. " Yeah. Isn't she a second year? " The other player agreed. " If only she were sexier like her friend.." He referred to Miyako, who was as innocent as can be. " Yeah, but isn't shea first year? " At that moment, Hyuuga came from behind the two and punched them both in the necks. " Morons, They both are too old for you. Let alone, mature."
Riko and Miyako soon turned their attention to the club. Riko began to walk towards the group, Miyako spinning right behind. She came to a halt when Riko began to speak. " I am Aida Riko. Head coach for the Seirin boys basketball club. This is your co-coach, Miyako Sao. Nice to meet you. Miyako is pretty shy, but she warms up quickly. " Miyako smiled shyly. She was alright around the Kaga-Idiot and her second year friends, but being infront of a lot of people scared her. Let alone boys. " Warm? She's cold as ice. " Kaganei called quietly. Miyako squinted her eyes and gritted her teeth. Her eye twitched again. " I'll kill you. "
The rest of the club memebers were confused, a few even pointed to Takeda, whom was sitting in the corner and observing the club. " Our coach isn't him! " " Nope, that's our advisor, Takeda-sensei." " Seriously, you've got to be kidding! " The crowd continued to ramble. " Now that you guys are aquainted with Takeda-sensei.. Take off your shirts! " Miyako, along with the rest of the boys, jumped and gave her a crazy stare. Miyako simply turned the wheel chair around, not wanting to see the insides of their shirts. Riko laughed. " Did I mention that she's extremelyinnocent. Hasn't even had her first kiss yet. Addicted to gymnastics. " Riko pretended to whisper behind her hand. Miyako blushed and spun her chair around once again. " I heard you, you she-devil! " Riko laughed to the point her face was about to turn red. " You were meant to hear it, deary. You can't even look at a male's body without being flustered! " " Nuh huh! " " Fine then. Watch each and every boy while I examine their stats, and if you don't look away once, I won't ever make an innocence joke, ever again. " Secretly, Rika had her fingers crossed behind her back, in plain view for the boys to see. They all chuckled, some even laughing aloud. " Deal, she-devil! " Miyako began to pout, crossing her hands over her chest.
Riko turned towards the boys. She began to evaluate each one, while Miyako sat there. She stared down the wall, pretending to be looking at the boy's chests. Her hands were folded in her lap neatly and elegantly. ' No way I am going to lose! She beats me to much at things.. Not this time!'
" You probably only do 50 jumps in 20 seconds. "
" ... WOAH! She's right? "
Riko continued down the line until she came to the tower-boy whom Miyako had been hypnotized at. She smirked at first, but at the first sight of his stats, her mouth almost it the floor. " Eh, coach. What're you starin' at? " Hyuuga called. " Gomen.. " Riko looked back at the clipboard. " Kagami was the last one." Riko looked almost puzzled for a second. " Really? Huh.. Is Kuroko-Kun here? " " The kid from Teiko?" " Seems like he's not.. Onto Prac-" A male boy appeared infront of Riko, scaring the living whits out of her. " A-AAAAAAAAAAAH!" She yelled, startling Miyako. Miyako jumped out of her state of trance and wheeled over immediately. She was startled too.
" Where the heck did you come from..? " Miyako questioned for everyone. " I've been here the whole time. " Miyako wheeled over to the mysterious man, jabbing him in the side to see if he was real. He bent over, clutching his rib. " Ow. " " AHA. So you ARE real! Phew, I thought I was dreaming or something.. "
" This guy's in the Generations Of Miracles? He couldn't have been a regular."
" Of course not, Kuroko-Kun. Right? " "I played in games. " " Righ- Huh! "
" Take off your shirt.. "
" Hm. Okay.." Kuroko reached up and slipped the white T he was wearing right off of his body.
Later that day, Miyako had been told that her mother wanted her home for the night. Riko had already taken her bus to her house, while Miyako had to go by wheel. She had stopped by her locker when she saw Kagami sitting on the bench outside. ' E-Etto.. Should I talk to him? Or was he scared off by what I said to Kaganei..? ' She wiped away her fear and slammed her hand down onto the 'Handicap' button that opened the doors automatically. She wheeled out, books in hand. She acted as if she didn't know he was there. He looked at her, just as she looked at him.
" Hey. What are you still doing here? " She asked.
" I could ask you the same. " Kagami then returned his gaze to the road infront of them. Miyako had to admit that she was disappointed. Kagami really caught her eye, and she wasn't going to let him go easily.
" Well, I guess I should get going. House is pretty far from here. " She sighed, remembering how it was part of her punishment that she had to wheel home every night. Kagami shot her a look from the corner of his eye.
" By yourself? This late? Don't you know how many thieves run around this time of night? "
Miyako just simply shook her head. " I'll be fine. No one's gonna touch a girl in a wheelchair. "
Kagami then stood, sighing. " That's where you're wrong. Thieves look exactly for that. Then they'll kidnap you or something. Atleast let me walk you home, coach."
Miyako could feel her face heating up rapidly. " Fine. I only live like two blocks. " Kagami gave her a look of astonishment. " In those apartment buildings, with the basketball court? " Miyako nodded again, the two of them already making their way down to the complex. " Hm. I live there too. " ' You, me and probably everyone else at Seirin..' Miyako thought bitterly.
They continued the walk in an awkward silence, and then arrived at Miyako's apartment. She sighed, knocking on the door with Kagami standing right beside her. A very busty woman opened the door, a cigerette poing from the side of her mouth. " Aye. There you are. Who's this? " The woman peered around the corner, smirking. " No one, mom.." She turned to Kagami with sorrowful eyes, knowing that she was probably going to get beat again by her father. " Bye, Kagami.. " She wheeled into the smoke smelling house as Kagami raced off to the basetball court.
As soon as she was fully into the house, her mother pulled her aside. " You better have n-" " Mooooooooooooooom." Miyako groaned. She wheeled back towards the hall way when she was stopped by her father.
" Didn't I fucking tell you to never come home again? You disgrace. " Miyako paused, fear now spreading all over her pupils.
" B-But, Mom called and sa- I don't give a damn about what your mother said! Does she pay the bills in this house? No. I'll teach you a lesson for not listening to me. " He rose his fist, and that was the last picture that Miyako saw before pitch blackness.
The next school day, Miyako was a no-show, leaving Kagami, Riko and Hyuuga worried. Riko and Hyuuga stood in the corner, Kagami was lurking around the court, stretching.
" I knew I shouldn't have let her go back to that hell.."
" Hey, it wasn't your fault. She'll probably be here tomorrow. You never know, she may have gotten sick or something. "
Kagami heard these words from even the far distance, and felt responsible for Miyako's disappearence. Even though he did not know the girl that well, he felt as if he had a special connection with her.
" Okay. Let me coach, and you go play basketball. "
" Hai! "
Riko walked up to the line of members, calling out at her fullest. " Coach Sao is not here, but we must continue our practice. Please, everyone line up. On my mark. " She held the ball high above the second and first years, and as she tossed it into the air, she blew her whistle, annoucing the begininng of the pratice-match between the two classes.
Wellllllllllllllllllll, yeah. What happened to Miyako? o: I didn't like writing about it.. But, you'll have to wait atleast three days to find out. :D R&R! I hope you liked it.. ;w;! So many typos.. sorry about rushing it towards the end, im sleepy OTL. R&R, byee until next time!
