Author's Note: Special thanks to Monkey D. Writer, BlazeMary and Unknown writer for reviewing! and also to those who followed/faved at the moment! :) To some, it might not mean much, but I very much appreciate every follow/fave/review,
For those who didn't know, this was supposed to be a KurokoxOC fic, but yeah, where's the thrill of knowing who's ending up with who and—stuff-? Er-Sooo yeah. Imma tweak some shizzz here, Hope no one minds.
As they heard that mysteriously attractive voice, the three turned their heads to see a handsome 18 year old raven-haired guy, who had his arms crossed arrogantly over his chest. He had this 'I-can-eat-you-alive-if-you-mess-with-me' aura. He eyed the two male down with piercing golden amber orbs (which is a bit ironic since Kagami was taller than him by 10 cm). "What a sight to see." His tone filled with sarcasm, they could only gawk at how haughty the guy was acting. Yelena furrowed her eyebrows at him. "…What's with that attitude of yours, uncle?" Kuroko shot a look at the girl. "Did you just say, 'uncle'?" Kagami questioned, his left eye twitched in uncertainty. "Wait wait wait. Wanna talk inside instead of out here in the open? We might be bothering the neighbours…" The girl suggested, a bit worrisome.
(Inside 'uncle's' condominium)
After sitting at the couch in the living room, "...He's your uncle?" Kagami repeated his earlier question. Yelena snorted as a reply. "You've been our neighbour for what, 6 months, and you didn't know that much? " A simple '...Ah' left from the redhead's mouth as it hung agape. How in the world, he thought, would he know that those two were related to each other? They hardly look alike! Kagami looked at the two carefully as he narrowed his eyes. Hmm..… THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON. NOTHING AT ALL. Okay, maybe they have the same eye color, but that doesn't mean that they look alike. Honestly, he sighed, just look at them and be the judge for yourself.
Kagami seemed to be hearing voices. Huh, 'cause for a second there, he had a feeling that someone was trying to catch his attention…
"TAI-GA-KUN-! " Yelena kept snapping her fingers right in front of his face. When she had confirmed that he wasn't spacing out anymore, she sat back down to her chair. "Sheesh, you should pay more attention to people when they're talking..." After 'shaming' Kagami (who merely scratched his head as response), Yelena then turned to the 18 years old who was sitting in front of her. "And what's up with that 'bad boy' look?" she laid back at her seat a bit. "Not to be rude, but it looks horrible!" The said uncle made a shocked face quite indescribable, which resulted a quiet gag from the redhead.
The ravennette[1] then glared at the redhead (who also glared back), and as soon as Yelena caught up, she stuttered. "N-not that I meant you looked ugly! D-definitely not because you look ugly!" she was waving her hand. "You just look really stup—err—I-I mean, stup…stup.. stupendous! Yes! Er oh wait, no.. it's not the right.. term… A-aha-ha..er…" The redhead was still stifling his laughter, which made the girl to smack his shoulder a bit, and then promptly shaking her head. "Don't laugh! He'd freak badly!" She not-so-gently whispered. Kagami just rolled his eyes. "I don't really give a damn about that dumbass."
"Watch your tongue, you rotten rambutan[2]" Her uncle warned.
"The fuck you just called me, dumbass?" The redhead gritted his teeth.
"Hey! I said shut your face! No one's allowed to curse in here, ugly tramp."
"I'll shut your face! Kuroko, hand me the fucking stapler!"
"I didn't bring any stapler, Kagami-kun."
"That's it! I'm gonna beat you up to a bloody pul—"
"EHEM!"
Their attention turned back to Yelena, who stood up in shock. Her side-ahoge[3] bounced up and down in annoyance. "What in the…" she cursed. Her bothered expression changed drastically as she realizes that she had all of their attention. "U-uh… O-oh hey! Why don't we introduce ourselves, hmm?" she rocked herself from heel to toe as she laughed awkwardly. Unfortunately for her, her prideful uncle huffed dignifiedly and glared at the redhead, who sat adjacent to him.
He hissed, pointing an accusing finger at him. "There's no way I'm going to acquaint myself with this barbaric-!" Yelena interrupted him to avoid any further arguments, "Kiragami! Ryu Kiragami is his name! Taiga-kun, Tetsuya-kun, say hi!" The so-called Ryu retorted with a simple 'Wha-! Hey stop-!' before he was cut off once again by his lovable niece. "People calls him Ryuki for reasons I do not know, but doesn't really matter!" Yelena then pointed her finger to the redhead. "and uncle, this is Taiga Kagami! Say hi!" He was being pat at his back (painfully) by the girl, which made him snort and look away. "Tch."
Ignoring his rude gestures, Ryu directed his attention to somewhere else. "Rena-chan, didn't you just mention 2 names? What was that again? Tetsuya-kun… was it?" Seeing a canine lay down on the rug, the ravenette tilted his head in thought. "Did you mean this dog, here? He must be Tetsuya huh…" The ravenette looked at him viciously. "Why'd you bring his dog here?" Ryu was referring to Kagami, who was still looking away (in terror. Yanno, cuz of the dog. LOL).
Now this time, Yelena was confused a bit as well. "Ah,.. I didn't know Taiga-kun owns a dog…" she approached the puppy and proceeded to scratch him at his head. "But My, My, My! Aren't you such a real cutie[4]?" When she reached to his belly, the canine barked in delight. "You do look familiar though…"
"His name is Tetsuya#2."
All three of them screeched in shock as a voice appeared out of nowhere.
"K-kuroko, you dolt!"
"T-tetsuya-kun!?"
"W-who are you and where in the world have you been!?"
The bluenette, who was sitting next to Ryu the whole time, bowed gently. "I was here the whole time. I'm Kuroko. Tetsuya Kuroko, it's nice to meet you." He offered his hand which Ryu (hesitantly) accepted. "…Oh wait. You own that dog?" he asked, taking his hand back. The bluenette nodded. "You do know that he looks completely like you…?"
Kuroko looked up in remembrance. "Some said so, yes."
(At the far back, Yelena sat at the corner, chanting 'So that's who the dog looked like.')
Ryu was still suspicious about that weird blue guy. Like, seriously, Ryu sighed, he came out of nowhere! What's not so suspicious about that! Well whatever, Ryu grunted."Oi, Rena-chan." Yelena looked up from her spot. "Didn't you say you need to get something back at school?" Ryu faced the two male. " Since we're all buddy-buddy now, let's get on with our normal lives, shall we?" Ryu stood up and grabbed his jacket. "Let's go Rena-chan."
"-Ah!" Yelena jolted upwards. "I thought you had work that needed to be done today?" her uncle sweatdropped and grabbed his car keys. "Work-shmerk. Let's just go already." His words were clearly saying (indirectly) 'You two. Get your hairy butts up and out my property.' The caramel-haired girl tugged him by the sleeve. "Don't dis work like that!" She nodded triumphantly. "U-uh, Taiga-kun can—oh wait, OH! Tetsuya-kun can accompany me!" She looked at Kuroko, waiting for confirmation. "I don't mind." The bluenette said. "Ya see? He doesn't mind! May we go now please?" She reasoned out, somewhat trying to get away from her uncle.
Completely oblivious to his niece's intentions, "That's not going to work on me, Rena." Ryu didn't back down from his resolve. He lowered his tone so it wouldn't be too loud for them to hear. "Don't get too close to those two. Bear in mind. They are men, Rena, and they can hurt you any time they wanted to." Straightening his posture, he combed his hair back with his hand. "Damn, if something would happen to you, Big sis will-…" he shuddered. "Agh. I will not take that risk."
"Aww, b-but!" her hands clenched into fists, she tried to turn the tables on him. "Tetsuya#2 wants to come with me too!" The dog whined at response. "No buts. I'm the one who's in charge here." And with a resolved stomp, Ryu made his niece march out the door and in to his car. When she was out of sight, Ryu made the other two leave as well.
After leaving the apartment, the two relatives drove to their destination quietly, and unsurprisingly, Yelena was sulking the whole time. Ryu kept his eyes glued to the road, but he couldn't help but feel sorry, thinking that maybe he was a bit too harsh on the girl. "I bought some new CD's, wanna listen?" He tried to start a conversation. "No" Yelena looked at the window. Ryu tried to start a conversation again. "I know you're just new in school and all, but are there any clubs that interest you, recently?" He made a few turns, and was it just him, or this ride to school seemed longer than usual?
"I'm not planning to join any clubs. I suck at everything, remember?" Yikes. This small talk, Ryu guessed, would turn into one of those soap operas, if Rena-chan will continue her little backstory. Not good. Am no good at handling crying people. "…Your phone's ringing." Realizing what Yelena just said, "Oh. Only take a sec." Ryu placed an earphone at his ear, and pressed the 'accept call' button.
"Hello? Ryuki speaking. Ah, well.. I'm actually off to bring my niece to school right now so… What? I'm not making excuses! Ha? I'm not! Whatever. It's a Sunday anyway. It's my day off, and you can't make me work. Talk to you later, I'm driving right now. Don't call me. Bye." He ended the phone call but the phone kept ringing. Even when he put it in silent mode, it kept vibrating and it pissed him off. "agh, just shut up already." Yelena asked lamely "Who was that?"
"Just a lazy-assed—Er-!… I-I meant lazy boss of mine. He wants me to work for him today, says it's important." He muttered 'Important my ass', and Yelena exclaimed. "Then go work." Ryu looked at her incredulously, and ended up swerving in the road. He yelled 'S-sorry!' out the window. "...What about your notebook?" the caramel-haired girl just shrugged, without meeting his eyes. "Doesn't matter. School's closed." Ryu just sighed and answered the phone. "..Uh hey, Wait for me there."
They entered a café and sat at a table near the glassed window, which Yelena found strange since the place wasn't an ideal place for work. The maids kept ogling at her uncle, that it made her very uncomfortable. "The usual, please." Ryu graced the shy maid with his bedazzling smile that shun brightly. Yelena just slumped her chin to her palm and blew the bangs away from her forehead. "Uncle, you're such a player. Gross." Ryu just remained quiet, talking more to himself. 'What'd I do to make you so pissed off all the time..?"
The door opened, and there were two men who went in. One of them wore a suit, and looked like he was in his mid-40's. "Ah! Ryuki, glad to see you up in the weekends!" The ravenette just gestured his hands upward. "Hah, am not glad to see you, though!" His boss just coughed and went near the table. "Oh, who's this little lady?" Yelena looked up boredly, then closed her eyes once again. Ryu just sighed, "She's in a bad mood." For no reason at all, he bitterly thought.
"Greetings aside," His boss began "I have a favour to ask of you." Both Ryu and Yelena sipped at their drinks that were just served to them. "Bleh. Uncle, I don't like bitter things…" Ryu just handed her the menu. "Just tell the maid what you want, and I'll pay for it." As the two ended up talking animatedly, his boss, a bit fazed, coughed awkwardly once again. "Anyway" The boss exclaimed to get their attention. "I'll go get myself a Vanilla Milkshake." Yelena stood up and went near the counter. "I'd like you to mentor someone for me." The boss looked for the said person until, "Ah, what are you doing standing there? Don't be shy and c'mere."
Yelena was in front of the counter, holding her drink. "That'll be ¥470, please." She froze. "O-oh um, let me just… take my wallet and…" When she opened her wallet, all sorts of bills were there. Dollars, Euros, Pounds, Pesos, "A-ah…" but not a yen found. "Let me call my uncle first.. hehe?" She speed-walked back to the table, much like a penguin wobbling back to their momma's. "Hey. Hey uncle, the cashier-girl asked for, I dunno,$47 was it? I forgot… Oh! Yen! I need ¥47! Or was it ¥470..? Meh, just lend me your wallet for a while please!" she exclaimed.
It only took her a second to notice that there was another man who sat beside the mid-40 yrs old man. And as soon as her eyes met his, she could've swore that she can feel her face heating up. Her heartbeat quickens. Her small palms getting sweatier. Her shoulders trembling. Glob knows how awkward she looked at that moment. "Oh, you two haven't met right? Go introduce yourself." The boss proudly said, patting the lad's back. The man stood up from his seat, which made Yelena look up to him. He was twice her size, and boy, his height wasn't the thing that intimidated her.
"Nice to meet you." The man bowed attractively. "I'm Ryouta Kise, a freshman in Kaijo High."
The girl looked up at the blonde with wide amber eyes. "A-ah…" Her lips quivered as her mind flutter into nowhere. "Y-yelena… Zolnervolk." She managed to say, looking normal at the moment. She looked at her uncle and asked for his wallet. When Ryu gave her his wallet, she went subtly back to the counter, ignoring the stares that she's getting.
"-!?" The cashier-girl was caught off guard by the wallet that was thrown to her. "Ahehehehe…" Yelena had a content smile on her face, and she looked dreamily at nowhere particular. "I-is something wrong?" The cashier-girl asked in worry.
"I just met the most beautiful man ever."
"You mean Kise-kun?"
"Yeah Kiss… I wanna kiss him so badly…"
"…Kiss Kise-kun?"
"Oh, right. That's his name… Kise-kun… haaa…."
"…"
"…T-tetsuya-kun!? W-whaaaat? W-why are you-!? Where've you-!? I didn't—You just— I'm not—!"
[1] – Ravenette is actually sorta the same with raven-haired. I'm a lazy writer and yes, it's a made up word. Same goes with 'Bluenette'.
[2] – Rambutan is a red spiky fruit from a Malayan Tree.
[3] – Ahoge (pronounced as Ah-Ho-Ge, I think) came from 'Aho' which means 'stupid' and (I forgot the word, but I think it's just 'ge') which means 'hair'. So if combined, it means 'Stupid hair' or characters that are 'a bit of an airhead'. But nowadays, they just use ahoges' for style. In some animes, the ahoges' move as if it were a real body part. ( School Rumble, Lucky Star, etc.)
[4] – okay fine, so maybe I inserted a tiny hint of OCxKuroko (did you get it?), but whatever XD
Man, this chapter is so long… hope no one got bored reading it D: and yes, the last part was a bit,.. rushed lol.
Sarreh, am verreh verreh sarreh to all ye people. ;w;
Reminder: TEXTING/USING PHONES WHILE DRIVING IS BAD! Don't imitate what Ryu did!
