"Ouch…my body still hurts from the game yesterday…"

Right now, Hikigaya is busy riding his bicycle on his way to school after dropping off Komachi in her middle school. Just a week from now and our life as second year year students would be over. Hhmmmm…not like everything has changed. It would be almost just the same class since most of them picked Liberal Arts. After the game yesterday, Hikigaya has to fight off several questions from Yuigahama, who was very interested to know what kind of relationship he shares with the tealnette and red headed brute from Seirin. Did she just took this the wrong idea? Oh well…it's her.

After parking his bicycle, he then went straight to the hallways of Sobu High School where he expected to walk again unnoticed and undisturbed by the crowd busy chatting lively on the sides.

However, he didn't realize that the game yesterday had an adverse effect on the events today.

The boy with rotten eyes noticed that everywhere he goes people always keep silent and began to whisper to one another. Some of those small talks are quite positive though not surprisingly, the more negative vibe is surrounding the atmosphere. That's right. I'm always the one being looked down. Hikigaya thought as he heard some random girl suddenly complaining that 'if he wasn't a ballhog, the team would have won.' Well, more like, they won't really score that much if I wasn't there.

As soon as he entered his classroom, he easily spots Yuigahama, who greets him with her signature "Yahallo" while also seeing Miura and her clique once again talking on one side. He also sees Tobe and his two male friends on another side fooling around. Sighing, he then walks to his own desk and was about to sleep. Now that I think of it, Kuroko wearing number 4 means he was appointed as the captain. I just can't believe someone with a low presence was able to command such huge respect from his teammates, especially that bastard red headed Kagami. Well…it's not my business. I'll just sleep it off.

"Mind of I sit with you?"

Crap. Hikigaya cursed in his mind as he heard the voice of Hayama suddenly waving over him. Now what does he wants?

"Sure." Hikigaya said somewhat hesitantly. As the blonde sits on the vacant chair, the raven can feel discomfort at seeing the School Prince beside him.

"Hikitani-kun," Hayama started as he smiles. "The match between Seirin and our school is an intense one."

"And…?" Hikigaya asked. He didn't know what to say at this point.

Hayama gave him a look and said. "I'm quite surprised that you have a hidden talent when it comes to basketball. I know you're very good at lawn tennis but yesterday was a very completely different matter. Maybe if you didn't ran out of gas in the end, it would have ended in Sobu's win. In fact, everyone here in school is talking about it non-stop, especially your duel with…uh…what's that guy's name?"

"Kagami Taiga." Hikigaya gruffly answered for him.

"Ah, that's right. I was just thinking that it would be a waste of your potential if you don't join the basketball team." Hayato is trying to give him a piece of advice. "But knowing you, I knew that it's next to impossible. Since when did you learn those moves?"

"I have played basketball for as long as I can remember." Hikigaya sighed as he then carefully explains. "They do say that if you start early, you'll be a good player by the time you have reached you prime. As much as I hate accepting such advices, I think that's true in my part."

"You've gotten quite feisty, Hikitani-kun" Hayama said. But even though he looked calm on the outside, the blonde was quite surprised at the response and tone that raven just used. "Well, then who's your favourite basketball player?"

Hikigaya paused as he raised his eyebrows. Hayama shouldn't even be asking such personal questions. That's already too much to ask! But even then, Hayama's curiosity is somewhat irritating Hikigaya so he decided to answer.

"I don't have a particular player in mind. But if you're asking for an inspiration for me to play, it's got to be a young Dwyane Wade." Hikigaya answered. "That guy's fast as lighting and I had to admit I patterned most of my moves from him."

"Oh…so that's why you rarely shoot beyond the three point line." Hayama said in a joking manner but was met by a somewhat offended Hikigaya, who was annoyed by what he heard. (A/N: Dwyane Wade isn't consistent when it comes to three pointers.)

"Sorry to break it with you but I do have a jumpshot." He countered. "Don't be stupid, Hayama. Having to shoot is one of the basics in basketball along with passing and dribbling. In fact, before you can even dunk or shoot, you have to learn how to dribble properly first." Or at least, that isn't the case with Aomine.

Hayama stared at Hikigaya without saying a word. But then he chuckled. "Now that you've gone to play and done that, do you think that isolating yourself from others will work? As far as I have observed, you never try to stand out in the past. Those flashy moves that you've used yesterday will make you stand out. You'll never be able to stay as a loner again."

Hikigaya looked at Hayama while twitching. He wasn't troubled as he thought he should have been as he knows that he didn't mind him doing it if it comes to the sport he loves secretly.

'What would have pissed me off is if you saw Sobu losing badly and did nothing about it.' Those words alone were enough to override Hayama's. 'Not to mention a guy named Kagami Taiga has pissed me off so badly.'

Hikigaya smirked. He hated the attitude that Hayama was giving him and he decided enough was enough.

"This isn't your concern, no?" He said. "But let me tell you one thing. If I was a few inches taller than that Kagami dude, I would have been stronger than him. No, I would even be the best Japanese baller ever known in history."

Hayama chuckled once more. "You seem confident in your ability."

Suddenly, Hiratsuka suddenly arrived, signalling the start of their homeroom.

After classes, Hikigaya already went outside of his classroom to go straight to the service club. On his way, he encountered the feminine-like Totsuka Saika, who greets him in the usual "Hachimaaaaaaan!" as well as Isshiki Iroha, who asks help from the boy to carry some few boxes for her in her room. He grudgingly obliges but only because he sees that it's only a bog but single carton box. Along the way in the corridor, he began to hear those murmurs again as people were openly talking about him.

"I don't see anything wrong with what I did yesterday." Hikigaya said to himself as he was nearing the Service Club room. "Besides, there is nothing special about my moves. Even Kobe Bryant do those stuff. The team just happened to have poor fundamentals."

Grunting, he then pushes back the sliding door as he enters. Not surprisingly, he can smell the scent of tea being prepared. He then spots Yuigahama busy pouring some of the hot tea into a Pan-san mug while Yukonoshita was busy reading her cat-adorned light novel.

"Yo." He gruffly greeted in his usual greeting.

"Good afternoon, Hikigaya-kun." Yukinoshita greeted back before returning to read her book.

"Yahallo, Hikki!" The airhead replied in her cheerful manner as she gives the mug to the boy, who just accepts it with a nod. Sitting down, he then reached out for his phone instead of reading his usual doses of light novels and began to type something on YouTube. After a while, he then puts on his earphones as he intently listens on the video.

Yuigahama and secretly, Yukinoshita, began to watch Hikigaya smile like a fool which made them suddenly yelp, though he didn't notice this as he was busy watching and he cannot hear anything. After a few minutes, Yuigahama couldn't stand it any longer and whispered to their club president.

"Neh, Yukinon, what do you think Hikki's watching?" Yuigahama asked in curiosity.

"Hikicreepy-kun must be watching something perverted." Yukinoshita answered as she stands up and went behind the back of the boy stealthily, hoping to see something obscene but to her surprise, it was an entirely different video.

It was a video of NBA highlights.

"That was some slick crossover." The man with fish eyes said to himself rather cheerily as he continued to fixate his eyes upon his phone. It wasn't until twenty minutes later that Yukinoshita decided to disrupt Hikigaya's concentration by tapping him rather quickly in his shoulder, causing the male teen to abruptly stop watching.

"Yes? What do you want?" Hikigaya raised his eyebrows with curiosity. "You don't usually do things like this."

"First of all, stop slacking off." The Sobu High School resident Ice Queen said gruffly. "We still have a lot to do. Second, stop staring me like that, Hikicreepy-kun. I shouldn't have helped you yesterday. You were really foolish to play non-stop."

"Well, I didn't ask for your help, you know." Hikigaya rolled his eyes as he kept his phone in his pocket and his earphones in his bag. He then proceeded to drink his tea while he brings out his light novel to start reading. But as he was reading, he can't help but feel the gaze of their club president concentrated upon him. Grating on his nerves, he then turned his head and asked. "Just, what do you really want, Yukinoshita? You've been looking at me for like two minutes." Great, I'm acting more pissed off than necessary.

"It seems like you're in a bad mood today." Yukinoshita had to suppress his reddening cheeks as she rebuts. "And what do you mean that I'm looking at you? I was coincidentally checking at my watch, Hikidelusional-kun." It seems that Yukipedia has ran out of fresh material.

"Yeah right." Hikigaya muttered as he gazes back to the book that he is reading. But as Yuigahama was mixing a second batch of hot tea in her pot, they heard a knock in the door of the club room.

"Come inside!" Yuigahama replied.

Hikigaya and Yukinoshita were expecting that it's their Hiratsuka-sensei, Isshiki, or Totsuka who is currently waiting outside of the room for the door. But once their guests did came in, they didn't expect to see who it is.

"Heh?" Hikigaya was shocked out of his wits to see four familiar people now entering in the room. "Ku-Kuroko?! Kagami?! And…uh…?" He didn't know the name of Asahina, who came with them on the orders of their captain. "And Isshiki! Why the hell are you with them?!"

"Senpai, they were inquiring about you!" The airheaded student council president wailed as she shows the three their way. "Of course, I had to bring them here! This red-headed guy is too scary!" She whined as she rudely points as Kagami, who protests at the compliment.

Well, now that I can see him more closely, Kagami does have the air of a reckless behaviour and…weird eyebrows? Hikigaya thought mentally as he looks at Kuroko, who seemed pleased with seeing his forme Teiko teammate. "Thank you so much, Isshiki-san." The tealnette bowed in gratitude at the younger Isshiki, who just nods and quickly goes outside of the room.

"I didn't think you would actually find me here, Kuroko." Hikigaya started the conversation as Yukinoshita and Yuigahama simply watches while gaping at seeing that someone has actually sought out for their club mate.

"I'm sorry for the intrusion, Hikigaya-kun." Kuroko looked apologetic. "But Kagami-kun here really wants to play with you one-on-one. The thing is your playing style is very much close to Aomine-kun's and Akashi-kun's which is why I somehow expected this reaction from my new light. But I didn't expect something as rude as suggesting that we go barge into your school and room." He then observes the whole room. "It looks serene and peaceful. I like it."

"Thanks. By the way, this is the Service Club." Hikigaya explains. "We're a group of volunteer students meant to help their peers overcome any problems they might have. Many of the students are sent to the club for help by the school's guidance counselor, Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei. We provide advice or teach other students how to solve their troubles whatever they may be. However the Service Club can refuse requests if we want. Oh…by the way, I'm surprised that you were able to enter here in Sobu."

"Our coach had a courtesy call with your coach, Hikigaya-kun and we happened to find Isshiki-san while asking around." Kuroko clarified, "And I didn't expect Kagami-kun to actually think of something as sly as going with Coach Kagetora-san here. He's usually an idiot. No, scratch that. He's a bona fide idiot."

"Kuroko! Teme!" Kagami was very mad at the insult. "Tse…I'd like to play one-on-one with you, Hikigaya! Our duel yesterday got disrupted so let's finish—"

"Anou…Hikki…" Yuiagahama suddenly said out aloud and he almost face palmed as he realized that he just have ignored his two club mates while having a rare chat with people other than his school mates.

"Oh yeah, sorry that I have forgotten you two." Hikigaya quickly apologizes and makes an immediate introduction. "That red head power forward is Kagami Taiga, Seirin's ace and the same guy that I faced off yesterday. The one with blue hair is Kuroko Tetsuya, one of my few close friends back when we were teammates in Teiko Middle High…" He suddenly stops as he realized he had said something he shouldn't have. Crap! Why did I told them that I was a former Teiko student and player?

"Heh?!" Yuiagahama seemed to have caught me. "Teiko Middle School?! And you and that Kuroko-san are teammates?!"

"Yes." Kuroko clarified. "We used to play basketball together at the Teiko team—anou…" He suddenly stopped and stuttered the moment Hikigaya was giving him some glares which he understood. But it seemed that nothing of what he said was able to escape Yukinoshita's ear. But I thought Hikigaya-kun studied here in Chiba for middle school.

To quickly change the subject and defuse the tension around, Asahina surprisingly decided to talk as well."Uhm…senpais, I think you have forgotten that I'm here as well. I'm Asahina Daigo and seriously, that hurts."

"Ah…I'm sorry, Asahina-kun." Kuroko apologizes. "You shouldn't have allowed Kagami-kun to hypnotize you with his ridiculous plan."

Kagami responded with an angry "Oi!"

"By the way, I'm Yuigahama Yui!" The airheaded girl cheerfully introduced herself. "Yahallo and nice to meet Hikki's close friends!" Oi! Hikigaya mentally shouted. I'm not friends with that Kagami bastard!

For some reason, Yuigahama-san reminds me a bit of Takao-kun. Kuroko said inwardly as he just gives off a small smile. "Nice to meet you, Yuigahama-san."

"I'm Yukinoshita Yukino and I'm the club president of this Hikigaya-kun here." The Ice Queen said coldly, causing Kagami and Asahina to actually shudder at her personality and way of speaking. And Yukinoshita-san reminds me of Akashi-kun. Kuroko makes another comparison.

"And if you don't have any requests, can you please leave now?" Yukinoshita muttered as she narrows her eyes towards Kuroko. "There are more important things to do for us. In fact, you aren't students here…"

"Ah…actually, I do have a request with Hikigaya-kun alone." Kuroko, feeling that he had to beat the bush around the blue-eyed girl, said. "Hikigaya-kun, we have a request to make from you."

"Yeah, what's that?" Hikigaya raised his eyebrows. As long as it's for you and you asking Kuroko, I'll not really turn you down.

"Since I pity Kagami-kun, I'm organizing a one-on-one between the two of you so he can finally stop acting like a child." Kuroko bluntly explained. "Oh…if you don't mind, can you join our practices while we're here? Someone like you would be a big help for our guards like Yagi-kun and Asahina-kun here if they are pitted against people like you. It would help advance their learning in the game. Please, Hikigaya-kun."

Kuroko then pulled his puppy eyes towards Hikigaya, who tried to hard not to blush upon seeing his baby blue orbs. Dammit Kuroko! You're pulling the same trick to me when we were in middle school and for some reason, I kept falling for it. He then sighed and said. "Well…fine. But does anyone of you have any extra sneakers to spare?"

"Don't your Fly Wades fit anymore?" Kuroko inquired.

"Not really sure. I have kept those J's in the stock room for as long as I can remember so I haven't worn them for so long." Hikigaya explains. "But I'm pretty sure my basketball gloves is still usable. I can't actually play back then without those so I figured out it would be a waste not to use them today."

"Fine." Kuroko said as he then whispers to Kagami about something. After a while, the red head agreed. "Kagami-kun here says he's willing to borrow his newly-bought shoes."

"Oi! I wasn't talking about the Jordan 10s! "Kagami yelled in surprised as he didn't expect his partner and captain to reveal his newly-bought sneakers. "Besides, we're not sure if—"

"Hikigaya-kun would have just to wear thicker socks, right?" Kuroko cut the taller guy as he looks at Hikigaya, who just grunts. Seriously, you're arguing for a bunch of shoes? Might as well just get my older ones since I don't want to really borrow something.

"I'll just check if my shoes are still fit for my size." Hikigaya interjected. "Well…it looks like I had nothing to do here. Kuroko…Kagami…let's go outside today. I wanted to tell early to Komachi that I would be late to arrive home." But as he was about to get his bag, he was suddenly blocked by Yukinoshita.

"What? It's not like I'm slacking every day. Give me just this day and besides, it's a personal request." Hikigaya gruffly explains.

"But he made a request to you here which technically means it's within the scope of the Service Club even if they're not students here, Hikigaya-kun." The Ice Queen haughtily replies. "Besides, we don't know what you'll really do there for a suspicious guy like you."

Kuroko, quickly picking up what Yukinoshita means, intervened. "Anou…Yukinoshita-san, you two doesn't need to come with us. We just need Hikigaya-kun for this."

"You three made a request to Hikigaya-kun which automatically translates to a request to our club." Yukinoshita stubbornly retorts, inwardly not liking the idea of being left out of whatever business Hikigaya is involved. "We'll still go with you as a part of the request, whether you three are our schoolmates or not. Besides, Hikicreepy-kun here is a shady character that you should be wary off."

It's not like Kuroko would believe your banter, Ice Queen. Hikigaya frowned as he picks up his belongings.

Akashi, for the first time in his life, was stumped.

At first, he couldn't believe it was that it was Hikigaya playing Kuroko and Kagami in the video that was sent to him by Midorima, who acted as somewhat his de facto scout. Hachiman playing like that. He smirked. The last time he and the guy who used to have Mohawk hair played together, they both occupied the same point guard position. He was strong at that time but then, he quitted. He shouldn't have been able to produce those kind of movements within the shortest period. To see him produce that kind of play in such a short space of time, made Akashi wonder, Could Hachiman had a supressed signature skill like the rest of us?

He shook his head. He then walked over to his bag and took out his phone.

"I have to make a very important phone call. Excuse me for a minute." He said to Rakuzan coach Shirogane Eiji. He then stepped out and dialled Midorima's number, not even caring if he was interrupting their practice. Within two rings, it was answered. The Shutoku ace knew that he shouldn't keep his former Teiko captain waiting.

"Hello." The voice answered. "Just what happened for you to be calling me, during my practice?"

"Midorima, I have a question for you."

"Which is?"

"Have you come in contact with Kuroko, Kagami or much better, Hikigaya Hachiman lately?"

"I have only seen those three play it out in the wood court."

"What were they like?"

"Nothing much in the case of Kuroko and Kagami. They were still the same as the past. But I'm pretty sure you're only calling me because of Hikigaya." Midorima stopped for the moment. "I'll just explain to you what I thought. Hikigaya hasn't lost any skill of his and considering the school he is currently studying at, he's doing fine without any of us. I honestly didn't expect that he would give Kagami a hard time and if it wasn't for the fact Hikigaya lost all his stamina form playing the whole three quarters straight, Sobu might have come out as the winner…" He trailed off.

"And what, Midorima?"

"And when I had glanced at him in the benches, he basically smirked at both Kuroko and Kagami. I just had a bad feeling about that."

"Thank you Midorima. That will be all." He hung up the call and looked through the window. "Hmmm…is Hikigaya attempting a comeback at basketball? It isn't that far-fetched, though. He did, after all, become an all-star once." He then sat back and crossed his arms and legs. But perhaps, I can gain something out of this. After a few moments of silence, he then fishes out his phone and texts his comrades.

Subject: Emergency Meeting

I'm changing my mind about our meeting in the second week of April. We'll instead meet at the train station in Tokyo. From thereon, we'll head straight to Chiba where we can find a lodging to stay for the moment. We'll meet with Hikigaya Hachiman in Sobu High School. For those who doesn't remember him (ehem ehem Aomine and Murasakibara), he's our former teammate in Teiko.

After a few minutes, replies began to flow in.

Subject: Olympics Basketball Tournament

Are you doubting me, Midorima? Of course, he'll join us. If he doesn't, I'll just force him to join us. Besides, it would be too much of a good opportunity to pass. I have currently checked who he is associated with in Sobu and I'm quite surprised that one of his few so-called friends there is a daughter of Yukinoshita Yashiro, a Chiba prefectural diet member and a rival of my father in the conglomerate world, if my sources are right. And Aomine, is not winning any titles for the past two years beginning to take a toll on your sanity? Of course, he is alive. I wouldn't be texting all of you if he isn't. I hope you it doesn't translate to a poor performance this coming Olympics.

"Shin-chan?" Takao voiced out his concerned towards his partner and best friend who has become the vice-captain while surprisingly, he became the captain despite him being an idiot.

Earlier, his best friend went over to the bench to have a little rest since he's practically pushing his limits further and not only him that is worrying over his health but also the whole Shuutoku team. They were glad that he's practicing harder than them but over-exerting himself is down right, annoying.

Can't he just seat and rest for a little while?

So, his best friend reluctantly went over to the bench to take a rest. He eyed the green-haired teen for a while and watched him as he took out his small towel and wiped off his sweats, just as that time that his phone rings indicating a call.

Midorima's stature became serious once he began to answer the caller. Eh? Is he speaking to Akashi? He only had that facial expression when he was speaking to the Rakuzan guard. Takao thought as he rolls the ball in his fingertips.

Suddenly, Midorima then stops the call and once he did that, he places his phone away and he continued to drink his water. Suddenly, his phone rang again and this time, it was a text message. As he read it, Takao can swear he saw a change in the shooter's face. Eh, he looks like confused and lost? What happened?

"Atsushi" The now-graduated Himuro Tatsuya called out to the giant for the tenth time as he was visiting the team that is practicing. It looks like the giant won't budge as he seemed pretty much upset at what he just read in his phone.

He's already tired from calling his friend's name over and over again just to catch his attention but no matter what he did, the giant won't look nor even talk to him. He's just continuing on viciously munching snacks as usual but more aggressive as he reads a text message.

Murasakibara is upset.

He can't believe that his Aka-chin was the first one to find Hikigaya-chin to his school. He hated to admit it but the truth is, he missed his former teammate, whom he used to share ice cream with Kuroko back in middle school. He hated how he wasn't able to get the attention of the smaller teen in the past. He hated always being second, third, or last when it comes to Hikigaya Hachiman.

Aomine being his first one-on-one mate in their rookie batch.

Kuroko being the first whom Hikigaya acknowledges as his true friend.

Kise being the first one to greet him on the former's first day in the basketball club in their second year.

Akashi being the only one who pampers him (together with Kuroko) a lot before their talents bloomed.

Momoi Satsuki being the first to cheer him up after they finished their games.

Midorima being the first one to be called crazy and Oha-Asa fantard by Hikigaya.

Was there even a first time for him to be with Hiki-chin? Something he did, that no one even had given to him?

He's clearly upset.

Maybe this time, he can be first in renewing their friendship. He always wanted to be the first one.

Kasamatsu Yukio, Moriyama Yoshitaka, Kobori Kouji, Hayakawa Mitsuhiro, and Nakamura Shinya stared at their kouhai and ace from far distance. They were looking at him weirdly and confusedly. They were here to visit the team originally but it seemed that they weren't ready for the scene that was to unveil before them.

Well, who wouldn't get creep out by the fact that their peppy blonde ace is becoming so happy and energetic, ten times more than what the former Kaijo captain has endured when he was still studying at Kaijo High.

This is different. The five alumni said as they never seen their ace like this before, like suddenly reading the test message in his phone and squealing like some kind of a fan girl. That's creepy!

"Hikigayacchi!" Kise squeaked like a child excited to have a field trip. "We'll be together again! Me, you, Kurokocchi! It would be a great reunion!"

Dammit, this is getting creepier! Our ace had lost his sanity! No wait, he already lost his sanity ever since losing to the shadow kid of Seirin back when we were still playing. Kasamatsu thought

Kise looked like he was becoming unstable. Oi, girls don't like crazy guys. They would get turned off. Mibuchi thought and pouted.

I think Kise is being...Kise? Kobori thought, bewildered.

Clearly, he lost his matured nature and turn into a child. Whoever did it, what have you done? He only gets like this though when the Seirin shadow is the one involved. Hayakawa eyed the phone that their ace was holding and talking to.

Uhm…I want to get out of this! Nakamura thought aloud.

Their ace's face turns brighter than ever as he squeeze the phone in his hands, tightly. His teammates wince when he saw what their captain is doing to that smartphone. And he's blinding us with his radiance!

"Hikigayacchi, I'm sorry if I neglected you in the past. I'll make sure that I will be able to make up with you. There's no way I would lose a best friend like you. No, never." he smiled sadistically and creepily.

The five at the distance started shuddering in fear.

Aomine was sleeping in the rooftop earlier when he received a message from Akashi. His eyes blaze in shock and surprise when he read the text that the red headed psychopath sent him. He held his phone tightly that it cracks into half.

"Hi-Hikigaya's coming back! How did he managed find Hikigaya anyway?! I still had 20 points to score off him!" he thought with a frustrated expression

He was already frustrated at the fact that he left them when he thought they all will stay together as teammates for life, frustrated that Kuroko, who didn't leave, replaced him with that dual-colored hair tiger as his Light, frustrated that not only he hadn't won any title but right now, it seemed that the past has beginning to haunt him again.

Just how long does the basketball gods would make him suffer for all the wrongdoings he has done?

Well, it's not literally Hikigaya's or Kuroko's fault.

The dark teen sighed, loudly.

Somehow, I had a bad feeling on this. Kuroko said to himself as he read the message that he received.
