Another chapter ready. Hope you're still enjoying the story. So without further ado lets continue.
Walking to the school gates, the two Seirin basketball players start walking to Maji Burger when a voice calls out.
"Yo Bakagami, where ya headed by yourself?"
"Hey yourself Ahomine. And I'm not by myself dumbass, Kuroko is right here. We were on our way to Maji Burger when you interrupted." Kagami says, pointing to the spot where he thought Kuroko was.
"But there's no one there Taigacchi. "The blond says looking at where Kagami was pointing.
"Wait, where-" Kagami questions, looking around him to find the smaller.
"I'm over here Kagami-kun. Hello again Aomine-kun and Kise-kun." Kuroko speaks, from the left of Kagami.
The three scream at the sudden appearance of the bluenette. Kuroko just looks at them.
"You seem to be looking better Kise-kun." Kuroko continues. Seeing said boy look confused,he continues "You looked kinda pale earlier. It was a little concerning. "
"It was nothing. Just felt dizzy all of a sudden. I'm all better now." Kise tells him and it seems to placate the smaller boy.
"If you need to leave now Kagami-kun, we can go to Maji Burger tomorrow." Kuroko says, not wanting to intrude.
"Wait Kuroko-san, why don't we all go together? I'd love to hear about Taigacchi from another source and get to know more about you, if that's ok with you. " Kise says quickly, before the other could leave.
Shrugging, Kuroko agrees and the group starts walking. Walking slightly behind the two Seirin players, Aomine whispers to Kise.
"Dumbass, are you sure that was a good idea? You almost lost control and jumped the kid earlier."
"Don't worry. I won't lose control like that again. I just want to learn more about Taigacchi's partner. Plus you did give me a full meal earlier so it's fine." The blond says in an attempt to calm the other.
The group finally reaches Maji Burger and finds a seat in the back. Both Aomine and Kagami order about 20 burgers each, Kise orders two and Kuroko one and a vanilla milkshake.
"Is that all you're eating. No wonder your so small, you eat like a mouse. You need to eat more so you can grow." Aomine says, handing him one of his burgers.
"I can't eat a lot. And what I eat has nothing to do with my height." Kuroko says with a deadpan expression, however you can hear the annoyance in his voice.
"Ehhehe, don't mind Daikicchi. He can be rude but he means well." Kise said while looking apologetic. Kuroko sighs and takes a sip of his milkshake.
"So Kuroko-san how is Taigacchi doing in Seiren? I bet he's been a handful." Kise questions about the redhead. Kagami gave an indignant "Hey", which is ignored.
"Kagami-kun has been a handful. He's loud, short-tempered and a bit arrogant. Not to mention he can be quite dense."
"Oi Kuroko!" Kagami shouts
"Hahaha, that just about sums him up nicely." Aomine gasps out, struggling to stop laughing.
"But he's passionate and hardworking. Not only that, he's always determined to win." Kuroko finishes before taking another sip of his milkshake.
"It's nice to know he's made a friend who can accept his quirks. So tell us about you Kuroko-san " Kise encourages.
"Like what? "Kuroko says, not really knowing what to say.
"Well tell us some of your likes and hobbies. "Kise suggests
Thinking for a moment, Kuroko speaks, " My hobbies are reading and observing people. I really like vanilla milkshakes and my dog Nigou.
"You have a dog?"
Taking out his phone Kuroko shows them a picture. "This is Nigou. My cousin named him."
"Aww, he's so cute. He looks familiar though, I wonder why? "Kise exclaims.
After a few minutes of looking back and forth from the picture and Kuroko, Aomine shouts before laughing, "I got it. He looks just like you. "
"Ahh, he does. How old is he?" The blond questions.
"Can we move on from the dog? Y'know move on to something else you like?" Kagami interrupts before Kuroko can answer.
"Why?" Kuroko asks confused.
"Our pal Kagami doesn't like dogs. It's hilarious watching him freak out because of em'." Aomine explains.
"Dogs are nothing but a bunch of hellish beasts " the redhead complains.
Holding his phone out closer to Kagami Kuroko says "But Nigou is so small and cute. He's not a beast."
"Yeah, well looks can be deceiving. So next topic ok?" Kagami says, pushing the phone away from him. After laughing at Kagami's expense, the group continues to ask questions about Kuroko.
"Alright. So what position do you play in basketball?" Aomine asks.
"That's somewhat hard to answer. Although I guess you can say I play small-forward. What about you two? "
"I'm a small forward like you. I'd love to see you play sometime.
"I play power forward like Bakagami. Although I'm obviously better than him. "Aomine brags.
"Hey, I seem to recall that most of our matches end in a tie." Kagami exclaims.
"And the other times I wipe the floor with you. Face it, I'm the better player." Aomine says, his tone smug.
"Oh yeah? How bout we settle this with a one-on-one right now?" Kagami taunts.
"That'll have to wait, you two. It's getting late and I'm sure neither of you want to explain to Akashi why we came home late without letting him know. Not only that, I'm sure Kuroko-san needs to head home." Kise interjects their squabbling, looking at the time.
"It is late. I'll see you tomorrow Kagami-kun. It was nice meeting you again Aomine-kun, Kise-kun. Have a nice evening. "With that Kuroko throws his cup away and leaves.
"Shall we head out as well?" Kise asks and the group gathers their trash to throw out before leaving. While walking Aomine starts up a conversation.
"So, that's the kid you were going on and on about? He doesn't have much of a presence. "
"I don't see what the problem is. He's cute and he smells really sweet and tasty. Plus he seems like a nice guy." Kise adds.
"That was before I saw him play. I know he's not a bad guy now." Kagami says, a small blush adorning his face. "And speaking of smells what was up earlier? You released your pheromones as soon as you saw Kuroko." Kagami asks the blond.
"I don't get it either. That hasn't happened since, well…" Kise begins, but trails off.
"Since you met Bakagami right? Remember we had to pry and restrain you when you met him." Aomine reminds him.
"Yeah, but that didn't happen on the first meeting like this. We had met several times before it got to that point. " Kagami inputs.
"Maybe it's cause you're getting horny over a human rather than someone like us." Aomine guesses.
"That could be a reason. I don't know, I've never felt this towards a human before. Usually it's the other way around. Maybe Seijurocchi will know something." Then Kise suddenly remembers, "By the way you didn't have to get fussy with me earlier. Especially not to the point you growl at me
"I just didn't want you to touch him. Knowing you,he might've wound up being molested by you." Kagami explains.
"Oooh, someone's soundin' possessive. Should we be jealous?" Aomine teases.
"It's not like that and you know it. Would you want to have to explain to your teammate why his friend started trying to pounce on him?" Kagami states to defend himself, his blush even darker now.
"Fair point. Anyway, let's talk more about this with Seijuro. He should have something to say about it."
Reaching their shared abode, they find Midorima and Akashi in the living room playing shogi, while Murasakibara is munching on a bag of chips, watching the two.
"We're back." The group yells out.
"Welcome back. Did you all deliver the letter?" Akashi questions.
"Yeah, the coach got it. What was written on it anyway?" Kagami wonders.
"You'll find out soon enough, don't worry." Pausing their game, Akashi stares at the group before asking "What happened? Your faces say you have something to ask."
"Well, to make a long story short, Ryouta here released his pheromones today because of Bakagami's new friend and almost jumped him. Like when he had first met Bakagami." Aomine explains.
"So we were wondering if you knew or had an idea as to why." Kise finishes, wanting to know what the other thought.
It was Murasakibara who answered though. " Was Ryou-chin hungry? Could that be a reason?"
"While that may be a possibility Atsushi, I don't think so. I'd have to meet them in order to form an opinion." The heterochromatic eyed teen says as he thinks of reasons.
"Oh, okay. I guess it can't be helped then. Well, I'm off to bed, good night. " Kise says leaving the room.
"I'm going with him. I'll see you all tomorrow. Night." Kagami says, leaving after the blond.
The next day
School passed in a blink of an eye and practice began soon after. While the group were doing their warm up exercises, Riko made an announcement.
"Alright boys, I have some amazing news for us. We have been invited, in three weeks time, to attend Rakuzan's training camp. Isn't that great? " she says with a big smile, while everyone else just stayed frozen.
"WHAT?" was the collective response to the news.
"How in the world did you manage that? Why would they be interested in our school?" Izuki asks, coming out of his shock first.
"We have no clue. But it was in the letter that those two Miracles left us. Wait, you didn't know Kagami?" It was Hyuga who answered, while noticing Kagami's shocked expression.
"No. Seijuro said I'd find out what the letter said at practice so he didn't tell me. " Kagami explains
"In any case, the trip is being approved by the principal as we speak. So in three weeks make sure you pack for a week long trip." Riko continues to explain.
"Wow, who'd have thought we'd be invited even though our team is somewhat new." Koganei says and Mitobe nods his head in agreement.
"And it's just before the inter-high. You couldn't ask for better training than that school." Riko adds.
"Ohh, I'm getting pumped." Kagami shouts, trembling in excitement.
Blowing her whistle, Riko says "Okay, that's all for announcements. And don't forget about the practice match we have tomorrow. Let's begin with passing drills. "
There ya go, another chapter done. Had to mention Nigou, he's too adorable not to. Review and tell me what you think.
