A/N It a little awkward later on so just warnin' ya. I'm not trying to be cliche, but well...I was writing and... it just happened. I also wanted to start forming Vyliana's backstory. So,Good Luck with this chapter! It's my longest yet! XD

Chapter 7

When I arrived home, I started on my homework. It was weird, the classes here were supposed to be super hard, but they were actually easier than the ones at home. I whizzed through most of my homework until I got to the math. I got through most of it but here was still one story problem I couldn't seem to solve. I tried to look it up on the computer, but to no avail. I pulled out my cell and texted Kuroko.

Txt string w/ Kuroko

Hey, Kuroko. I have a question.

Yes?

I can't seem to figure out one of the problems on the math worksheet. Can you help me? I already checked in our books and on the net, but I just can't figure it out.

Which question is it?

The last story problem

Ok, Kagami doesn't understand it either do you mind if explain it to you guys at the same time?

Sure it doesn't bug me.

After our short conversation he tried to explain the problem to us, but for some reason it just wasn't clicking. I could practically hear him sighing, so I offered to have a study party at my house. Kuroko and Bakagami agreed, although I was pretty sure Bakagami just wanted to copy answers. I sweat dropped when they arrived and Bakagami's sheet was blank. He grinned and scratched the back of his head. I sighed and motioned them in.
"Come on in, make yourself at home"
"I apologize for the intrusion." Kuroko spoke as he entered, which caused Kagami to jump and yell at him. I ignored the baka and started in the apartment.
"I going to put on some tea, would you like some?"
"Yes, please" "Sure"
They followed me into the living room. Bakagami plopped down in front of the table, while Kuroko started to set out his notes, careful to not let Bakagami cheat. I chuckled and went to the kitchen to prepare tea. As you know, I watch anime and so due to my viewing of Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) I had learned to make good tea with leaves not teabags. It takes a little longer but it's worth it. It took me a while and when I returned to the living room I came across a strange scene. Bakagami was wrestling with Kuroko for his worksheet. Kuroko has his hand pressed against Bakagami's face and his feet were pushing on his stomach. Kuroko's other hand held the item in question just out of Bakagami's reach (which is quite an accomplishment considering their differing body sizes) I started laughing and almost dropped the cups. They looked at me and Kagami spoke first,

"Whauut? He won't wet mwe use hwis pwaper." He sounded funny since Kuroko's hand was pressed against his cheek. I tried to hold my laughter in till I got the cups down on the table, then I started rolling on the floor laughing.

"Vyliana?"

"Yes, hehe Kuroko?"

"Are you ok?"

"The jury is still out on that one" I joked
I got myself under control and took the paper from Kuroko. "Bakagami, if you don't work it out on your own, how will you learn?" Kagami sits up and looks at his lap.

"You're right..." He was oddly obedient, but I just enjoyed it, instead of questioning it. Kuroko looked shocked as well at his response. But he only showed it by raising an eyebrow. I clapped my hands and rubbed them together.

"Alrighty, let's get this party started" It took a while but Kuroko finally was able to explain it to us idiots. Once he did I felt so stupid, it was so simple! Kagami had brought all his other homework over with him as well and Kuroko and I tried to get him to work it out on his own, but he swiped my papers when I was getting snacks and copied my answers. I swatted his head and yelled at him. He laughed at my hit which made me get really mad. I grabbed a baseball bat and raised it over my head, Kagami scrambled back and his hand landed on my tv remote, which turned it on. The opening credits to "Hoozuki no Reitsu" appeared and I dropped the bat, scrambled over Kagami, got a pillow and sat on the floor in front of the screen with my head resting on it, swaying back and forth to the music. Kagami just stared at me, while Kuroko came over and tapped my shoulder. I hissed at him and turned back to my glorious show. He tapped my shoulder again and I turned to face him once again.

"What?" I growled. No one interrupts my anime time, NO ONE. Not even a anime main character.

"We still have to finish the science paper" Kuroko stated bluntly.

"no."

"Yes."

"No."

"Vyliana…" He sounded like a nagging mother hen.

"NO... After this episode, maybe." He sighed and gave in. I grinned and turned back to the TV, "Settle in and enjoy the nonsensical universe of 'Hoozuki no Reitsu'" By the time the episode was over Kagami and I were both on our bellies with our hands propping up our heads and staring at the screen, with weird, creepy grins on our faces. As soon as it completely ended Kuroko snatched the remote and turned off the TV saying,

"It's time to finish our homework."

Kagami and I groaned. I rolled on my back and whined,

"BUT I don't wanna!"

"…."

"Kurokoooo, can I copy? ;)" he sighed.

"No and Kagami stop rubbing off on her." Kagami held up his hands in defense.

"I didn't do anything."

"I know, that's the problem. I didn't know lazy idiot was contagious. From now on stay 4 meters away from me at all times." Kagami got a frustration mark and started to go after Kuroko, but I grabbed his leg causing him to fall on his face.

"Fiiiinnneee. I'll do it." I grumbled as I crawled over to the table. After we finally finished, we started chatting about basketball, how we got into the sport and various other things from our pasts (mostly kagami and I though, Kuroko just listened and commented every once in a while).

"Well, since I grew up around mostly guys, in America. I learned the basics of basketball fairly early, but I never was on a team or anything like that, since I was a girl at an all boy school. I had always liked to run so after school I would run across the school grounds for several hours before going home. The coaches noticed and started to ask me to get stuff for them. Soon it became normal for me to be sprinting for constantly for hours, getting equipment for the different sports, I guess I was kind like the manager for all the different sports teams…." Kagami laid his hand on my shoulder,

"I hate to say this but it sounds like they were using you."

"Eh, probably, but I got to learn a lot of different sports and it kept me from getting bored while I ran." I shrugged, that possibility had crossed my mind many time before. Then, Kuroko spoke up,

"It's getting late, we should probably get going." He looked at the clock and his eyes widened. It was nearly midnight!

"We have school tomorrow and Double practice!" Kagami yelled. Kuroko turned to me. I was still silent, mulling over scenarios in my head.

"If you want, you could stay the night. Assuming it's ok with your parents." (SOO cliché, I know, but I couldn't let these guys walk home at this hour!)

"I live alone, but what about your parents? Won't they be mad if they find two random guys sleeping in your home?"

"I live alone as well, and I won't have to worry because I sleep with this." I got my wakizashi from my room and pulled the short sword from its sheath. The two boys gulped. I grinned, "and I know how to use it.'

"Are you sure it's ok?" Kuroko asked.

"It's fine besides; neither of you will try anything, will you?" I slid the blade back in and pointed it at them.

"Of course not!" They said at the same time.

"Good." I returned it to my room and got some extra blankets and futon from the closet. "There is no guest room so you guys will sleep here." I gestured to the living room. I moved the table out of the way and they laid out their bedding. "If you need anything I'm in my room, ok?"

"Ok, but what will we sleep in?" I hadn't thought of that… They were wearing their school uniforms luckily.

"Um… I might have some stuff that'd fit you..." I trailed off. I went to my room and grabbed two of the biggest shirts I had (sometimes a huge baggy shirt is just what you need) and a couple pair of my running shorts. (so glad I wear guys shorts!). I returned to the living room and handed the clothes to them. "Ok guys, you can try these on and see if they will work for tonight." I pointed, "The bathroom is right over there. We are going to have to get up really early, so we can get your gym bags from your houses. So get to sleep quickly." I went ahead and left them to their own devices, while I changed. When I came out of my room, I was a little shocked, my clothes fit rather well on Kuroko, thought he shirt was super baggy, while Kagami's shirt was almost too tight. I blushed and looked away. He saw me and blushed as well. It was super awkward. Finally Kuroko broke the silence by saying,

"I don't know about you, but I'm going to bed." We nodded and separated to our various sleeping arrangements. I curled up in my bed for about 10 seconds, and then I was out like a lightbulb.
