*Hides in a corner whispering to herself* They will kill me…I know they will! *Looks behind her to see she has been spotted* H-Hey everyone! Been a while, huh? Well, I'm sorry! I got home on the day I was supposed to, but I was hardly home, and then I got really sick with the stomach flu and the regular flu. Then I had to prepare for my trip to Mexico! I was going to write there, but the Wi-Fi was really bad, and there was only one outlet in my room, and if I plugged in my behemoth of a laptop, it might have overloaded the power of the bungalow. So I am starting to write this on the last plane home after I charged at the second airport. I am finishing this at a friend's house at the moment. I got into a weird funk where I just didn't want to write, but now I am writing!

Kagami ended up surprising the other teams because, in fact, his basketball hadn't really decreased. This, of course, please the Kiseki no Sedai, though most of them would never admit it. All throughout the first day, Kise followed Kagami around, asking questions and trying to hit on him. It seemed to really annoy both Kuroko and Aomine greatly. The two blue haired boys were possessive, so they also had to try and get Kagami's attention away from the other.

At one point, Kagami was next to Midorima, happy to be away from the three previously mentioned boys. Midorima, seeing how tired Kagami was, handed him a towel, a water bottle, and a little tiger charm.

"What is this for?" Kagami asked, looking at it.

"Oha-Asa said that Leo's would have a bit of bad luck today, but if they had their lucky item it would be okay." When Kagami only blankly stared at Midorima, Midorima continued talking, blushing. "I-It's not like I went out and bought it for you specifically! I just had it on me, and since your lucky item is a tiger themed item, I thought you might want it."

Kagami looked down at the charm again, seeing how cute it was. With a smile on his face, he looked back up at Midorima. "Thanks! I don't know much about Oha-Asa, but the thought that you listened to mine and thought of me makes me happy. Also, this is a really cute charm~" Kagami reached into his bag, pulling out his cellphone, putting the charm on it. Since he was looking away, he didn't see the blush on Midorima's face, or the glares from Kise and Aomine. Kuroko almost glared, but he was staring intently at Midorima. Takao only hid his laughing at his teammates tsundereness.

"I-It's no problem." Midorima then got up and went back to practicing, not wanting to see Kagami because, and he hates to admit it, he was really cute just then. Plus, he could feel the heated looks.

After the first day of practice was over, it was close to dinner time. Everyone started walking to the cafeteria. It was Hyuuga who asked, "Is there a worker here making food for us, or are we supposed to cook?"

Riko looked over at him, smiling. "Momoi-san and I are taking care of it." She looked at Momoi, who smiled and nodded.

Everyone looked at Kagami in surprise when he screamed, "No!" He looked down embarrassed by how loud he said it, and the fact he even said it out loud, before saying, "How about I cook? And I might be able to get some help from Mitobe-sempai and Sakurai, since Aomine likes his cooking."

Riko thought about it, before nodding. "Alright. I'll leave it to you tonight. I was planning on some simple curry."

"Alright, sounds good. I'll go freshen up and then go make dinner. I'll call you when dinner is done." As Kagami rushed to his room, Touou, Seirin, and the Kiseki no Sedai sent him grateful looks, or something equivalent.

Everyone was lounging in their rooms when Riko got the call. Many of the people who knew Kagami's eating habits but not his cooking skills were a little nervous. But everyone saw Seirin looking happy, so they weren't too nervous.

When they arrived, Kagami was making the last plate. "Go ahead and sit down. It should be cooled off enough to start eating right away." The last plate was Kagami's, since it was packed much fuller than everyone else's.

It was Kuroko who took the first bite, the fork pausing in his mouth. "What's the matter, Kuroko?" Kiyoshi asked.

"It…It tastes so much better than last time." Kuroko then started eating with more vigor than before. Prompting everyone to start eating and marveling at the rich taste.

Riko asked, "How did you make it taste like this?"

Kagami rubbed the back of his head. "Well, they had better ingredients and spices. I started experimenting, and this is the taste that came about. Oh, and leave room for dessert. I was able to make something simple." At the prospect of dessert, Murasakibara quickened his eating, no longer as lethargic as before.

When everyone was done and the dishes put in the sink, which would be cleaned by workers over night, everyone sat and waited for Kagami to bring out the dessert. They all looked at the kitchen doors, waiting in anticipation.

Finally, he came out, rolling out caramel flan. He passed it out to everyone, all of them waiting to dig in. Murasakibara, to his annoyance, was the last to receive one, but it was a little bigger than everyone else's. "I know you like sweets, so I made yours a little bigger than everyone else's. I hope you like it~"

At that, everyone dug into their dessert, even the people who said they were full from dinner. Everyone went silent, staring at the dessert after the first bite. Kagami looked distressed. "I-Is it bad?"

"No…" Kagami looked down at Murasakibara, who had spoken while looking down at his food. He then looked up at Kagami, surprising him. The giant had sparkles in his eyes. "It is almost too good to eat~" But because it was almost too good to eat, everyone started to eat again.

Murasakibara was patting his stomach when he was done. Kagami came around to grab his plate, but was stopped for a moment by Murasakibara wrapping an arm around his waist. "Can I help you?"

"Marry me."

A plate fell to the floor. Silverware fell onto plates, tables, and the floor. Everyone looked over at Murasakibara in surprise. Did he just ask what they thought they asked?

"Excuse me?" Kagami asked, thinking he heard things.

"I said marry me. I want your desserts all the time." He looked at Kagami with his usual expression.

It was then everyone heard a chair scrapping the floor. Everyone expected to see Aomine going over to Murasakibara, but was surprised when it was actually Himuro. He grabbed Kagami away from Murasakibara, wrapping the redhead in a hug.

"You can't have him. I won't consent to letting my brother marry anyone for such a reason. Not even you, Atsushi."

"What would it take to gain your consent?" Aomine asked.

"Nothing you all can do." Himuro looked down at Kagami. "We'll find you a nice guy in America. Your dad would be happy with that anyways."

Kagami then broke out of his shock. "Woah, woah! I don't have any plans for getting married yet! And dad would flip out if I told him." He turned to Murasakibara. "I won't marry you for those reasons. Now, everyone help me clean up dessert. I want to go play more basketball!" Kagami then walked away, blocking the experience form his mind.

While everyone was getting the plates together, a few people in the crowd were figuring out ways to gain the favor of Himuro.

I know…Its short, but I wanted to give you all something. I have been busy looking for a summer job, and it has been hectic! And I was uninspired to write, so I didn't. I hope the next chapter will be longer and better!
