Chapter 2

The next day Haruhi had to be awoken again by Riko, but this time it was easier to get her out of bed. They got ready and headed out. Like yesterday, Haruhi had offered her seat, but this time to an aging lady, who kindly thanked her. Haruhi only smiled, while the lady sat beside Riko.

Once they reached the school the bell rang, and the two had ran their separate ways. Haruhi ran into the building, after noticing a small dog out on the field. Haruhi ran to her room and quickly took her seat in front of Kuroko.

"Ohaiyo, Tetsu-kun, Tai-kun," Haruhi greeted the neutral male and fiery red head. Kuroko's eyes slightly widen, when Haruhi noticed he was there once again. Not even Kagami had noticed him there the whole time.

"Ohaiyo," Kuroko's monotone voice greeted.

Kagami said, "Ahhh! Why can't you show up like a normal person?!" Haruhi chuckled, before she turned around as the teacher entered.

"Ohaiyo, minna-san," Ms. Akari greeted. She did attendance and began her lecture. Haruhi began to drone out Ms. Akari's lesson, staring out the window. Kuroko stared at the black haired girl, curious as to why she was able to notice him so easily, unlike most of the other people.

Lunch later came, and Haruhi quickly packed up her stuff and ran out of the room. She had wanted to see if the small pup was still out in the field. Kuroko and Kagami watched as she hastily left. The two headed the opposite way. Without realising, Kagami was left alone. Kuroko had disappeared.

"Kawaii~" Haruhi mumbled, as she found the small puppy. The dog barked at her happily as she lifted him up. Haruhi tilted her head as she noticed his eyes.

"Ne, you look like Tetsu-kun," Haruhi spoke to the dog. "I wonder what your name is…"

"Haru-chan?! Haru-chan?! Haruhi, where are you?!" Riko called, causing Haruhi to turn around and spot her cousin looking for here.

"Right here, Ri-chan!" she called back. Haruhi stood up and ran to her cousin, the puppy still in her arms. Riko noticed the small dog.

"Ne, Haru-chan. Why do you have Tetsuya #2?" Riko asked.

"Tetsuya #2?" Haruhi asked dumbfounded.

"Hai. We named the dog after Kuroko-kun from their similarities," Riko told. Haruhi didn't pay attention as she was playing with the dog and trying to teach him to roll over. Riko sweat dropped.

"Like this duex," Haruhi called Tetsuya #2 in her other language, rolling in the grass. Tetsuya #2 barked and began to copy her. Haruhi didn't notice, but Riko had left due to Hyuga calling her. Haruhi laughed, as she played with the dog. Kuroko was walking by and saw Haruhi, he watched as she rolled around with his dog.

"Konichiwa, Tetsu-kun!" Haruhi called which shocked the male.

"Konichiwa," Kruko said, as he walked up to the two. Tetsuya #2 quickly went to run up to his master. Haruhi rolled on her belly as she watched the scene. Kuroko picked him up and Tetsuya #2 climbed onto his head. Haruhi giggled and sat up, as Kuroko sat down.

"Tetsu-kun, you two are so cute!" Haruhi stated. Kuroko's cheeks turned a slight pink. Kuroko wondered how she was able to make him feel this way.

"Eh! Tetsu-kun! Daijobu? You're not sick are you?" Haruhi asked, quickly crawling to him and placing her hand on his warm forehead.

"I'm fine," Kuroko told.

The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. Kuroko stood up and left with Tetsuya #2. Haruhi watched as they left. The whole lunch break Haruhi had played with Tetsuya #2. She grumbled, holding her stomach realising that she should have eaten, as she trudged her way back to class while her stomach growled. Haruhi plopped herself in her desk, Kagami already seated at his desk.

"Konbanwa," Haruhi greeted dulfully.

"Yo," Kagami replied. "What's up with you?"

"Nothing," Haruhi grumbled, slouching in her seat. Kuroko came in and sat at his seat. Kagami noticed him entered and ask the bluenette if he knew what was going on with Haruhi's mood. Kuroko simply shrugged, not knowing what happened to Haruhi's cheery mood. For the rest of the day, Kuroko watched as Haruhi gloomily sat in her desk, lazily replying when the teacher asked her a question.

The final bell rang. Haruhi, Kagami and Kuroko began to pack there belongings. Kuroko and Kagami waited as Haruhi sloppily dumped her contents in her bag, slowly walking towards them. Kuroko and Kagami watched her carefully; still unsure of what could be causing the problem. She tailed behind them, dragging her feet along the way. Once they reached the gym, she face planted right in the middle of the sidelines, where Riko stood. Riko screamed, shaking Haruhi awake. Haruhi lazily opened her eyes to her cousin, confusion clearly written on her face. Everyone watched the scene before them. An awkward silence graced the room, until it was disrupted by a loud growl coming from Haruhi's stomach. Everyone sweat dropped.

"Ano, Haru-chan," Kuroko called. Haruhi and everyone turned they gaze to Kuroko, who was not there a second ago; well that's what they thought.

"Hai?" Haruhi called. Riko watched, as Haruhi sat up, making sure she was ok.

"Here," Kuroko said, as he held out a sandwich towards her.

"A-arigato," Haruhi blushed, as she took the sandwich. Kuroko only nodded, as he left to get changed for practice.

Once everyone was changed, Riko told the team about Haruhi being their strategist. Practice started, and Haruhi ate and watched intently while Riko ref the scrimmage. Haruhi scanned the players, jotting down notes in a black booklet. Haruhi drew plays, as she examined everyone's abilities and habits.

Once practice was over, Riko left with Haruhi. Practice had ended later than usual, so the two had to sprint to the bus. Haruhi was ahead of Riko as they ran, finally knowing where it was. Haruhi reached the stop just as the bus came; she waited to enter until Riko caught up. Riko panted as she reached the stop, while Haruhi just grinned at her and offered her a hand. They enter and sat at their usual seat. Riko wonder how Haruhi did not sign up for the girls' basketball team or any sport for the matter. Riko knew that Haruhi had high stats for a girl her size. Maybe it was because Haruhi was still new to the school.

"Ri-chan? Is something wrong?" Haruhi asked her older cousin, seeing Riko dazed. Riko shook her head.

"No, everything's fine." Riko stated. Haruhi nodded.

"Ne, Ri-chan, when will I see them play?" Haruhi asked.

"Soon, I set up a match for next week against Kaijo," Riko told. Haruhi's eyes gleamed, finally going to see the team play in action, and try out her new plays. Haruhi had heard that Kaijo had lost last time, but she was excited nevertheless.

CherryPop0120 - I checked your story, and... I love it! 3

Hola, this was my fail attempt to make a chapter funny. Just wondering, did it work? Probably not, I have the worst sense of humor,but hey, I tried... Not sure if I'll ever try writing a funny chapter again, so no worries about having another fail chapter :P

Anyway, other than that, I have bad news! :(

I'm grounded for 2 weeks until I get along with my sister, so I won't be able to update until then. I'm really sorry! I swear once I'm back I'll update lots! (maybe... no promises made) Until then, Adios!
