So this was written before the other two stories I wrote. I don't know why I went backwards in the order that I made them but oh well. So this story follows Kagami for a bit in the beginning and is a bit slow but this is about Kuroko.
Warning: yaoi, meaning boyxboy
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroko no Basuke
It was the start of the semester and all the clubs were trying to get more recruits.
"Basketball club! Basketball Club, how would you like to join the basketball club" Koganei yelled out, passing out flyers. Although from the look of it no one seemed even remotely interested.
Izuki spoke up next "Koganei you can't be serious"
"How else am I supposed to say it?"
"New kids, Join the basketball club. The basketball club needs some serious help" Just then, a baby-blue haired man walked past but it seemed neither of the 2nd years noticed instead calling out the guy walking behind him.
At the recruitment table
Hyuga let his head drop onto the table looking defeated "I'll do my best, I will do my best"
"I wonder how the recruitment is going, if they could just bring in some promising ones, that would be…" Riko's sentence was left hanging as the shadow appeared over the table once more. It revealed Kagami holding a despondent Koganei tears running down his face.
"The new students are here"
"What?" Riko was stunned
"Is this the basketball club" An intimidating voice sounded. Riko's eyes moved upward to see Kagami. Both Riko and Hyuga gaped at him
"Yeah" Riko managed to get out
"I want to join" Kagami said ignoring their astounded looks he pulled out the seat and sat down laying Koganei on the table beside him. After sitting him down,Kagami went to filling out the form and drank some of the water.
"So do you have a reason for joining?" She questioned. Kagami finished the water and crushed the cup
"Yeah. I want to get stronger so I can beat my rivals. So I can beat the Generation of Miracles. " Kagami stood up, and without even a glance back, he tossed the crushed cup in the trash. Then he left, not noticing the astonishment on the seniors face
"He's terrifying" Hyuga said as he sat up. "Is he really a first year high school student!?"
"He's one in a million" Izuki said
"Kagami Taiga" Hyuga read the name off the board
Oh Sorry" Riko held up the paper reading through it "Let's see Kuroko Tetsuya" She suddenly got confused as she continued to read "Eh? I was here the whole time, but I don't remember him" She said even more confused than before.
Kagami pov
Hope I choose the right school. I know I'll never hear the end of it if Seiren was terrible. Even if they are a somewhat new school.
Pulling out my phone I contact one of my lovers to tell them that I would be late today. After 3 rings the phone picks up.
" Kise tell Akashi and the others that I'll be late and to eat dinner without me. I joined the basketball team at Seiren so I'll probably just stop at Maji Burger on the way." I say
"Geez Taigacchi, you should have just transferred to Rakuzan with the rest of us. That way we could all play together and go home together. "Kise whines into the phone and I roll my eyes.
"Not gonna happen. I wouldn't get the chance to seriously play against you all if we went to the same school. I want to beat all of you someday. "I tell him.
"Well you could have went to a school with a better team. I mean out of all the schools, you picked one of the newest schools there is."he whines even more and I let out a sigh. He's not wrong. There were much more qualified schools but something in my gut told me to pick Seiren. I don't know why though.
"Anyway hurry back. You're not the only one that needs to eat something and I want you today. I'll let the others know you'll be late too."
"Ask someone else to feed you. I fed you yesterday. " I yell, a small blush on my face, before hanging up and heading up to my classes.
Normal pov
After class ends, the basketball recruits head over to the gym.
"I'm the boys' basketball club coach Aida Riko. Nice to meet you." She announced much to the shock of the first years who all gaped at her
"WHAT!" Was the general cry
" If you are all done yelling, I need you all to take your shirts off" She yelled at them commandingly. She was met with confusion before another resounding
"WHAT" was yelled "WHY?" They questioned but Riko just smiled.
With all recruits shirtless, Riko walked down the line she stopped momentarily.
"Your ability to move instantaneously is a little weak" She told one guy. "I bet you do 50 side jumps in one minute don't you? You'll need to do a little better for the basketball team"
"O-Okay" a first year stutters out.
"You're too stiff" She continued down the line
"Seriously she's right" Fukuda said sounding shocked
"How'd she know that just from looking at us?"
"Her dad's a sports trainer" Hyuga began to explain "Collecting data and creating a training regimen. It's a skill she picked up observing bodies and data every day at his work. When she looks at your body, she sees all your physical abilities in numbers"
"Really?" One of the first-years ask.
"Is Kuroko-kun here?" she called out
"Looks like he's not here today. Alright, let's get started with practice."
Kuroko pov
"I'm right here." I say as I walk up with my hand raised, and face expressionless. "I'm Kuroko" I watch as the coach twitch before jumping back in terror and letting out a yell
"What!? How long have you been here!?" A senpai with glasses yelled looking shocked as well.
"I've been here the whole time" I say while taking my shirt off. She stares at me and says nothing. For the remainder of practice, we run a few drills and before long practice for the day ends.
While walking home from practice, I stop by the basketball court in the park. Hearing a swish through a net, I turn and see a tall red haired.
Was that the player that the coach was so impressed by. He must be something if he's still practicing. I think his name was Kagami Taiga. He seems to notice me as he misses the basket and I catch the ball, my face blank as I stared at him.
"When did you get here?"he questions.
"Nice to meet you. I've been here for a while. "
Kagami seems to regard me with indifference. "I'm not looking to play basketball for fun. I want to play a serious game with those that can really get me going. "
"Let me tell you something. People who can succeed smell different from the rest" He threw the ball back to Kuroko "But for whatever reason, my instincts tell me something is not right with you. The weak should smell weak. But you…you don't smell like anything and your strength has no scent.
I looked at him, confusion in my eyes. What is he a wild animal?
What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He exclaims as he sees me taking my jacket off.
Not even flinching I respond "I want to see how good you are for myself. I want a 1-on-1."
The game starts with Kagami dribbling and going for a goal and his eyes widen as he scores. He took the ball again and continued to play around the court
When I moved to shoot the ball, Kagami hits it out of my hand looking bored and I ran after it, making Kagami sweat drop.
"Enough. I'm not interested in the weak"
Kagami moves to the bench and gathers his things before turning to look back at me.
"Let me tell you one last thing. You should quit basketball. However you try to cover it up with nice words like effort, raw talent is a fact of life. You've got no talent for basketball"
"I won't accept that. And I don't share your opinion on basketball" I say to Kagami's retreating back" I'll prove to you that even a shadow can play." He stops to look at me but then shakes his head and leaves.
Sighing, I turn and resume my walk home.
Kagami pov
Unbelievable. There must be something wrong with me if I thought he was anything special. He's just so weak that he doesn't smell like anything. Ugh, now I'm irritated.
Opening the door to the apartmentI am immediately tackled by a head of blond with his tail curling around me.
"You took forever Taigacchi. I was wondering if you had got lost." Ryouta pouts and hugs me tightly.
"That does seem very possible for Bakagami" My blue haired lover says from the couch.
"Can it Ahomine. It wasn't that hard to get here. I just took a detour to a court before coming back. And can you let go?" I wonder as the tail starts moving around my lower body
"Don't wanna~. You didn't feed today so I want compensation. " Kise whine with a smirk on his face.
"Not that I'm really interested but you seem even more foul tempered than before. Did something happen today?" Of course Shintarou would know something happened. Looking at him I see him holding a purple toothbrush, sitting next to Daiki
"Nothing much, just having a hard time with a player. Something felt off about him but I think it was just my imagination. But as a whole the team doesn't seem that bad. So you all had better watch out come inter high. "I answer while trying to pry Kise off of me so I can get up. I swear, he is like a leech sometimes I think to myself.
"Ooh, that's interesting. Now I wanna meet this person. Hey Taigacchi, bring this person over so I can meet him." Kise demands as I still try to pry him off.
"Forget it. I don't think I'll ever get along with him. Besides he's probably playing just for fun, so he won't last long." I say before coming up with an idea.
Wrestling my arms free I grab him by the chin and give him a long, hard kiss.
"That should hold you until I actually get settled in. Now can you get off of me so I can get up?" I ask and he moves. "Where is Atsushi and Seijuro. "
"Atsushi left to feed and Seijuro left to check something. He didn't tell us what though." Daiki answers my question not looking away from the tv.
"I'm headin' to bed now." I say after yawning
"Let me come with you. Don't look at me like that, I just want to cuddle." Kise pouts as he watches me look at him warily.
"Alright, but first time I feel you doing something besides sleeping, I'm kickin' you out." I say, giving in and Kise drags me to his room.
