I do not own Kuroko no Basuke, but I do own the OC and the random crap that goes on with the story.
I think that this is the longest chapter so far in the story, around two thousand five hundred words. :) That's an accomplishment! That, and we're on Chapter 10! We're not close to the point in the story where I'd like us to be since all the friendship and whatnot it always fun to make up in Teikou, especially with the rainbow crew. Eh, better than nothing.
PLEASE WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE CHAPTER FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
Thanks to Roseheart37819 and Hope10032 for following and trouvaille for favoriting! Special thanks to amgs for doing both!
NerdyPengy: It's nice to know that my story is well-liked for being so random! It's always fun to think of the situations that the rainbow crew would get themselves into. Also, Akashi is pretty cool, but their friendship might take a while. You'll see it probably in the next few chapters or so, but I have something in mind.
JDominque37: Yep, since Kise just joined the club, it's only a matter of time until something occurs between him and Haizaki. I figured that Murasakibara would be gutsy enough to try and take Sakamura's food since the girl herself isn't that scary until you cross a line drawn by her beloved sketching pencil.
synpitou: Thank you for the kind words! I'm hoping that this update would be okay for the laughter quality of the fan fiction. MayuSake does have a ring to it. Never expected people to really like this story at all, so I'm happy that people like it anyways!
Dear Mayuzumi-sama,
You know how in anime, there's this moment where the main character goes into this depressed state because they failed to realize something so awful would happen to them? That their pride is crushed so badly you could hear it crack into a million pieces and you feel secondhand pity for them?

That's me at this point in time.

Dear Sake,
What the hell happened this time?

Dear Mayuzumi-sama,
Even though Sunshine just recently joined the club after a few weeks, he's really good and got into first string. Unfortunately, there are two problems that came with him.
1. His fans from his modeling job pissed off everyone there. When I asked Midorima about what happened since he looked dangerously calm, the usually composed guy I knew turned into a green dragon with raging flames coming out of his mouth as he roasted Sunshine in a way I'd never thought I'd witness. I eventually got him to chill out with some Red Bean soup, but Midorima was terrifying. Even though he was wearing a pair of cartoon swirly glasses and couldn't see for shit, he was scary.
2. Sunshine's grades are so horrible that Midorima says that I score higher than him. As much as I'd like to say that's an insult, it's a compliment in itself. You know how Midorima was assigned to be my tutor? Guess who else is assigned to him?
Hope for my sanity.
From,
Sake
Dear Sake,
Can't you stop the fans from entering the gym and disrupting practice? There's a thing called locking the damn door.
I can't imagine someone having lower scores than you. It's impossible.
I will send my condolences for your lonely-departed sanity through this letter.
From,
Mayuzumi
Dear Mayuzumi-sama,
The problem is, the fans are seriously dedicated to the point where it reaches stalker levels of dedication. It honestly scares me. I have to wait for the basketball practice to end since Midorima and Sunshine are still doing their thing. I have a front row seat to a horror film to crazy fangirls attacking Sunshine. As funny as it may sound, I just feel bad for him. Dealing with all those girls must be a hassle.
I didn't think that either, but look at me now!
Plus, the school didn't assign Sunshine to Midorima, but it was the captain and vice captain's decision to make him our study buddy. The vice captain was the one to confront Midorima about it, but then the green-haired megane brought me into the equation by mentioning that we studied in my house and that the disaster that would follow after Sunshine's arrival would get the both of us in hot water with my mother.
All the vice captain did was smile and said that it would be fine.
For Midorima, it must've been absolute hell being told those words. For me, I was laughing internally at his pain and outwardly comforting him because we'll both suffering in the long run.
Midorima brought him over to my house the other day for our regular study session. Let's just say that he had a lot of questions. Most of which concerned me, Midorima, and my house. I had to ban him from the kitchen almost immediately because he was trying to look around the place in his curiousity. At least studying sessions won't be completely one-sided now that there are three of us.
I'd appreciate some chocolates in the mail, especially Kitkats.
From,
Sake
Dear Sake,
You have batshit insane people in your school, I swear.
Hm, which kind? The regular or the specialty kind of Kitkat?
From,
Mayuzumi
Dear Mayuzumi-sama,
Not only are they nuts, but they come in the colors of the rainbow!
From red to green to purple, we have it all!
Funnily enough, the captain of the basketball team has the word rainbow in his name, which makes the whole thing a lot more funny. To choose the norm or to not choose the norm, that is the question. I actually want the specialty, but you might want to send it in a special packaging, just in case a certain someone might find it.
From,
Sake
Dear Sake,
Wait, you have the whole rainbow? Who are the other guys?
Are you talking about Bara?
Here, have a Kitkat. Hope you like green tea flavor.
From,
Mayuzumi
Dear Mayuzumi-sama,
The ace of the team is Aomine, who has self-explantory hair. He seems like a pretty cool dude, but I don't talk to him much. Sunshine, or Kise as I should be calling him since, y'know, it's his name, says that he's really good at playing basketball and I'll take his word for it. There's a reason why he's the ace.
Bara, or Murasakibara, is a literal giant that can crush you should you destroy anything he cares about. For example, his snacks are not to be shared with anyone unless he shares it willingly. He has an annoying habit of taking my snacks because I apparently have good taste in sweets. Before you ask, yes, he's the person who would, could, and will take my Kitkat from me if I let my guard down. Please keep it concealed in a way that would prevent him from running over me in his haste to take my candy. I ask this for the sake of my snack.
The vice captain Akashi is a person whom I cannot really explain properly. Sometimes, I just feel judged? Awkward? I've talked to him a couple of times in the past before while I was waiting for Kise and Midorima, although mostly because of Bara stealing my food. For the most part, I found him nice, but I don't really have anything to talk to him about outside that.
The one with pink hair is Momoi. She's the manager, and she's really nice! We talk a lot since I'm sitting around half the time. Once in a while, I sketch people doing actions like shooting and running, and I ask her for critiques. We relate to one another about dealing with the rainbow-haired dorks and their quirks. It's great to rant to someone who understands the pain of dealing with them- huh, is this how you feel whenever you get one of my letters?
There's also one other person named Kuroko, but oddly enough, his hair is a light blue, not black like the name implies. He kinda reminds me of you in a way, but I don't know why. Maybe it's because he tends to pop out of nowhere and scare the ever-living crap out of anyone. I remember you mentioned having problems being seen by other people?
From,
Sake
P.S. Have you ever felt like you were being watched and realized that you were being watched?
P.P.S. Also, thanks for the Kitkat. I'm now being interrogated by others if my soul has left my body.
Dear Sake,
That is a huge list of people.
Not really, considering people don't notice me at all.
Should I ask why candy left you like that?
From,
Mayuzumi
Dear Mayuzumi-sama,
Yes, yes you should.
I kept having this odd feeling of someone or something watching me from afar. Maybe it was one of Sunshine's fangirls that sent me hate mail because those girls tend to be scarier than the Grudge. It only happened in the gym during basketball practice and nowhere else.
When the sensation of eyes watching me once more, I tried to subtly look around the general direction of where the person was located and saw a pair of light blue eyes staring at me. I kept quiet and shuffled closer to Momoi who was looking at the game with concentration before I shrank behind her as much as possible. My heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I heard a voice speak to me later on that day.
Outwardly, I was pretty relaxed, but I must've been too jittery from the shock because Kuroko told me that he simply wanted to thank me for being a good friend to Midorima and Kise. I wasn't too sure if he knew that the horoscope-loving person he knew as one of his friends used to beat me upside the head with a rolled-up test paper, but I rolled with it. Get it?
Then, I asked him why was he staring at me. All Kuroko did was smile, albeit minuscule, and said that having me around was interesting. I didn't understand him with that statement, but I didn't mind since being interesting meant having a personality.
Now, the Kitkat Catastrophe. (Yes, don't judge me on the name. I can't think of anything else, so shush, Mayu-sama.)
You sent me the Kitkat in the mail, which is very much appreciated. However, I was reading the letter that came with it when Murasakibara came up to me and asked me for a piece. A piece for him meant the whole thing since he can eat an entire truck full of candy and not get fat and why can that not apply to me because I love candy too-
Point is, I told him no. I wouldn't share with him. Even though he had a bunch of sweets in his bag, Murasakibara was too lazy to get them. Green tea Kitkats must've been high on his candy list because he wouldn't stop staring at the chocolate wafer in my mouth. There was only one piece left, and he looked like he was about to swipe it from my hands.
I took a major risk: I bit into half of the Kitkat and proceeded slowly munched on it to show that I wasn't afraid of taking what was rightfully mine.
Pro tip: Don't ever do that in front of a candy-loving giant. Otherwise, the embarrassment that follows afterwards will haunt you forever.
In the end, Kise and Momoi were asking me about what happened, Midorima had this look on his face that said he didn't want to know, everyone else was staring at the crowd of rainbow-colored teens around the awkward second year girl who was dying on the inside, and Murasakibara didn't give an eff because he managed to eat my Kitkat while I was eating it.
I don't care that he could hurt me! I'm pissed because he ate my candy! No one takes my candy and gets away with it! IT SHALL BE AVENGED!

Dear Sake,
That is a very long letter. I think it's your longest so far. Hate mail from crazy fangirls are expected. Stay safe.
That was a god awful pun and you know it.
Most girls wouldn't care about the food and would freak out about their first kiss being taken, y'know.
From,
Mayuzumi
P.S. Let me guess, Mayu-sama is a shorter way of my pen name.
Dear Mayuzumi-sama,
I'm not exactly the definition of normal. You should know this by now.
Plus, you sent me a gift, and not only that, but it was candy!
Who wouldn't be unhappy about someone else eating a gift that was sent to the intended recipient?
From,
Sake
P.S. Thankfully, they got the message that I wasn't trying to steal Kise away, but it happens time and time again since the guy is a bit clingy with me. Apparently, I'm one of the two females (the other one being Momoi) that he talks to on a frequent basis. It doesn't help that we're seatmates.
P.P.S. If I kept writing out all those characters, I would go insane.
Dear Sake,
I'm glad that you like the gift.
From,
Mayuzumi
P.S. Be safe from those weird fangirls. They can get violent if need be.
P.P.S. Aren't you already insane?
Dear Mayuzumi-sama,
You're welcome.
From,
Sake
P.S. Trust me, I'm overly prepared with things to keep myself safe.
P.P.S. No, I'm interesting.
Imagine what'll happen post-Teikou.
This is where you guys come in.
I'm not entirely sure if I should continue the story in letter format until Sakamura goes to high school and switches to Skype to actually become a fully-detailed story, or continue with the letters until the Winter Cup.
That, or this idea I've been thinking of with her attending high school after the GoM disband and just going through the canonical events, which would make it more of a sequel. It's in an actual story format instead of being told through letters. Yeah, I know, unoriginal, but honestly, I'd love to see her fumbling around in high school and the basketball dorks, even though they all have gone to different schools.
ALSO: I want to write out the scenes that I've been writing in the letters into an actual story because Sakamura Akira is a character that I've grown attached to. That would kinda be repeating the same events through the eyes of Sakamura in detail instead of it being as vague as they are in the letters, but imagine the crack at full blast in front of your eyes. Repetitive, but entertaining. Not only that, but it would include During Teikou and Post Teikou Generation of Miracles. High school days are gonna be fun to write out.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this long thought I've had in my mind. Tell me what you think in a review. Seriously, I'm struggling to make up my mind on this dilemma.
