Stuff you may want to know before reading:
In my world Taiga Kagami is the youngest of six children. He has four older sisters and one older brother. The closest one to him in age is 26. His older sisters are of the age 39, 32, 29, and 26. Taiga's oldest sister is a housewife with three children, his second oldest sister is a costume designer and married. Taiga's third sister is a famous BL manga artist and is going out with a girl (after numerous refusals from Alex), Taiga's fourth sister is a cosplayer and is the fiancé of a college football star. Taiga's only brother is 38 years old and with a pregnant wife. The older brother is considered useless by the Kagami sisters. Since he was young, Taiga was shoved around and tricked by his sister's to do what they want (cooking, dressing up, modeling for comic strips, etc.) cue Taiga's bluntness with crying women (his sisters always tricked him through crocodile tears). Taiga looks like his mother (eyebrows and all) but has his father's personality. His mother is a French chef with restaurants open internationally, she likes making him cry in fear. Taiga's father is a sympathetic man who makes horror movies. Taiga's dad ditched moving in with Taiga to go on a love cruise ship with Taiga's mother. Alex and Tatsuya have met the Kagami family and try to avoid them.
This takes place after Seirin's win against Rakuzen.

The problem with being the youngest child from a family with grown child is that the child has the potential to become selfish, easily jealous, and self-centered. Of course Taiga never concerned himself to have that potential. If anything Taiga assumed that he would grow up to have a complex relationship with everything.
Taiga has seen what jealously could do to a relationship. It could ruin even the happiest of friendships or marriages. Often not, Taiga observed that when a person is self-centered they easily become jealous. Like how his youngest sister is right now.
The older teen was surrounded by chaos. Various chairs and tables were flipped over and destroyed in her rage, even the pictures on the walls were destroyed by his sister's bright pink lipstick. Half of what was written on the cracked pictures were slurs in different languages and while Taiga wasn't good for reading foreign words, it was easy to tell what the angrily written words meant.
To make matters worse –in Taiga's opinion- his sister was crying on the floor, her back against a wall and empty cans of beer littered the floor next to her. This was the moment that Taiga decided that whoever his sister was dating was a total jerk for making her react so badly. Even if Taiga was pretty sure that his sister caused more heartbreak than received it. Of course, family took precedent and Taiga would always love his sister. Even if she slept with half of her school mates. Love the sinner and scorn the sin and all that; Taiga took a deep breath and steady himself as he walked over various broken glasses and furniture.
"Hey" Taiga spoke quietly as he knocked the beer cans away from his sister, "you want to talk?"
She didn't bother moving her head from where it was buried into her arms. "No" she croaked and Taiga was afraid that she would start crying again.
He could never control his own tears and emotions when one of his sisters started crying.
Shuffling closer to his sister, Taiga brought up a hand to start straightening his sister's hair out. Usually her blonde locks –which Taiga still couldn't figure if it was dyed or not- would be perfect no matter the occasion, even after practice, his sister would come out sweaty and gross feeling but still having perfect hair. Wincing to himself, Taiga knew the breakup had tto be bad to make his sister's usually perfect hair into a bird's nest.
Taking another deep breath, Taiga hesitantly moved his hand to rub circles on his sister's back. "Well I'm going to talk anyways" he stated.
"Don't bother" she lifted her head to stare at a wall.
Taiga winced at his sister's puffy red eyes and drying tear tracks on her cheek.
"I'm the one at fault" his sister placed her head back down into her arms.
Taiga was honestly speechless, it was like being told Santa wasn't real. He always looked up to his sisters, to have one of them admit to being in the wrong was disturbing –his sister started crying again- and heartbreaking. It just didn't happen, sure his sisters are wrong sometimes but never they never been in the wrong.
And he wanted to tell his sister that she is wrong. She could never be in the wrong but Taiga's voice was stuck in his throat.
"I was stupid and I saw him with a really pretty girl" she whispered "they were close and touching and hugging and all over each other" and Taiga felt rage surge up inside him. From what his sister was saying, it sound like her boyfriend was cheating on her.
Nobody cheated on a Kagami and lived to tell the tale.
"I was wrong" she stated, voice filled with tears like her face "the girl was his sister".
Taiga felt all his anger sweep out of him. "Oh" he didn't know how to respond to that.
"Listen, Taiga" his sister finally looked at him and Taiga felt frozen in place, "don't make the same mistake; jealousy is unbecoming" she sobbed and Taiga really wanted his mother to walk through the door.
Taiga never knew the correct thing to say in situations like this. Even though he grew up with a mainly of female influence.
"Don't assume; just communicate with each other" and anything his sister may have said was drowned out by her crying.
Taiga just sat next to her until she could cry no more.

"Don't make the same mistake; jealousy is unbecoming"
As Kagami was coming to learn, jealousy was unbecoming but only on certain types of people. Right now, right across from him in an empty and abandon classroom Kagami was faced with what he assumed was jealousy. Though Kagami couldn't decide if this form of jealousy was unbecoming or not.
Kuroko had chosen to kidnap -because that is what it is- Kagami during school hours. Not the hours like lunch or anything, but Kuroko had shoved Kagami into an opened classroom before slamming the door shut. Of course this caused Kagami to release a feminine-like shriek purely because Kuroko used misdirection in the kidnapping.
And the cherry on top? In the corner of the room was Aomine. Aomine Daiki from Touou, the Aomine Daiki that was a part of the Miracles of Generation with Kuroko. At first, Kagami didn't even blink at the sight of Aomine in handcuffs, a very determined and struggling Aomine that was struggling to get loose with an obnoxiously bright pink piece of tape over the others mouth.
At seeing this, Kagami wanted to get angry but he couldn't. A small part of him could never get angry at his shadow and a larger –more vindictive- part of him said that Aomine deserved it for having perverted thoughts about Èmil. These two parts won and Kagami couldn't bring himself to feel guilty about that.
Turning his head back to the shorter bluenette Kagami just gazed down disappointedly at Kuroko.
"If you brought me here to hide Ahomine's body then you need to kill him first" Kagami stated as he crossed his arms.
Aomine's struggling seemed to stop at this, but neither Kuroko nor Kagami bothered to turn around to check Aomine. "I appreciate your offer; but I did not corner you here to kill Aomine".
"Then why am I here?" because Kagami, despite not being super smart, knew that normal people did not tie another person up for no reason.
Kuroko merely stared at Kagami, "I need to discuss the topic of marriage".
"Mar- not you too!? What is with you miracles and marriage?" Kagami groaned in frustration as he assumed where the conversation was being led to "Can't you guys find a nice girl or boy to settle down with? Why me?" really, Kagami was starting to lose his patience at the never-ending persistence of marriage proposals from the other generation. But all things considered, Kuroko's way of proposal was at least not as nerve wracking as Kise's was. If there was a limit to the amount of roses a person could give, Kise did not know the limit.
Kuroko just continued to stare at Kagami "I like you Kagami-kun".
"No Kuroko, I'm not going to marry yo-" Kagami started to speak before his brain finally translated what Kuroko had said. Of course, that did not mean that Kagami fully understood the implications of what the smaller bluenette said, "What?"
Kuroko didn't sigh or blink as he continued to stare at Kagami, "I like you Kagami-kun".
"Well, I like you too" Kagami brought a hand up to scratch the back of his neck in embarrassment "you're a great friend and-"
Kuroko actually sighed this time before he quickly broke off of what Kagami was going to say, "Will you go out on a date with me?"
"You mean like hanging out?" Kagami tilted his head in confusion at the sudden question.
Kuroko closed his eyes briefly, ignoring the muffled snickering coming from Aomine "I plan to date you with the intent of marriage at the end". "I'm not going to allow anyone to take you away from me" Kuroko added at the end with a dark smile.
Luckily Kagami was spared the option of responding for the classroom door was forced open by a livid looking Akashi. For a moment, Kagami wondered how Akashi found the three of them but wrote it off as Akashi –wielding a pair of dangerous looking scissors-angrily approached the tied up and scared stiff Aomine.
Turns out Akashi did know what Aomine said about the smaller redhead being short. Of course, Kagami never got the chance to say anything as he was abruptly shoved out of the room by two lurking men in black suits.
Turning back to face the classroom, Kagami blinked as the doors were slammed closed. Shrugging to himself, Kagami wrote off the conversation with Kuroko and assumed the three miracles needed to conduct an impromptu meeting.

A/N:
As the youngest brother, I think Kagami would be protective over his family. The next installment should be in early March. Also, the next installment is probably going to be about Men's fashion. And the one after that will be the meeting of Kuroko, Kise, Akashi, Kagami, and Liam.
