In the hotel lounge
While many of the players were still fed up with their numerous meals, everyone found themselves in the hotel's bar lounge. The event was not completely forgotten an hour ago, but no one dared to raise the issue again. Because who knew how the Miracles would react to it. Each of them sat in the sofas and armchairs that stood around the room, perfectly arranged so that each group could sit and have the best view of their coaches, who were standing in the middle of the room and were just thinking through the rest of the day.
"So guys, our schedule today will look like this: In two hours we will go to our training facility - it is only half an hour away from here and I think we can all do it. There you will start your first training session and play a first small training game. After training you have some free time - if you are not already done. You can explore the city for my sake or go back to the hotel, but come back to the hotel on time at ten o'clock this evening. The right training will start tomorrow. Understood everything? Good. I will not repeat it again. "
After Riko explained everything, she looked at each player, but did not find anyone to complain about. Not even the "colored head group" had anything to complain about the plan. A miracle!
"Then change for the training and be on time in the lobby - without a half hour delay, otherwise you will feel your punishment", emphasizing the last word, Yosen coach Masako Araki announced.
The Yosen players knew what they meant and swallowed hard, but most of all their eyes were on six different hair colors that made it possible to be late on the first day.
With that, those present got up from their seats and headed for their rooms.

Meanwhile at Kumamoto airport
A young, tall man with black hair a little longer on the side stepped out of the gateway that the plane from Los Angeles had announced. He had a sports bag hanging over his right shoulder and was now looking around the airport hall for the familiar face that was waiting for him here. When he saw the person he was looking for a few meters away, he couldn't help smiling. It had been so long since he had seen the person. Almost two and a half years have passed since the last meeting. An eternal time. With quick steps he approached the middle-aged man.
"It was long ago. Coach. "
The person addressed smiled at the young man.
"I can say the same thing. Captain."

Room 10
"The bed next to mine is still empty? I'm getting really excited. The coach, my coach, only told me that they should still arrive today, but probably only when we are already in training. "
"Takao, don't be so impatient. Those from the association just take their time. "
"Yo, Tatsuya, I'm thinking about something."
"And what, Taiga?" "Yes, what redhead?", with a snapped look, the redhead looked at the Shutoku player and then began to tell his two roommates.
"I think that the one in Takao's room is not a member of the association. Why should someone from the association go to a room with players. And honestly. No mid-twenties would go into a room with three teenagers
and certainly none from the association. They secure a single room, like the coaches or something. "
The other two also saw a light now.
"When I think about it that way, Taiga is clearly right. That wouldn't make sense. One from the association would judge us from a distance and not from the near. He would collect data for games and not our hobbies. "
"But who can it be then? Really, I emphasize it again: I don't want a maniac as my bed neighbor. "
"Oh Takao, he won't be, don't worry."
"Yes, and if the coach of the green freak knows about this mysterious guest, the other coaches also know. They would have warned you if it was a madman. And besides: you know your way around crazy people. "
.
Room 3
Meanwhile, in the captains / alumni room, another topic went through the minds of the players.
"So I'm already excited", Imayoshi started the topic.
"On what?", asked Hyuga, who was just getting his sports gear out of his sports bag.
"Well on what? To see the six specialists in action together", said the former Touou captain.
"Do you think they'll really train together again?", Otsubo intervened with a doubting voice.
"What do you think? You will not be able to hold back. After such a long time to have a training session, it is already a kind of little premiere for them", grinned Imayoshi grinning into the room.
"Well, I do not know. I somehow cannot imagine that they will work so easily again ... ", Kasamatsu admitted doubtfully.
"I think Kasamatsu, you're wrong", said Hyuga, forcing Kaijo's former captain to raise his eyebrows, "maybe they look individual, as if they don't work together, and they will start arguing again immediately , but they spent three years with each other in that sense, and there is also the point that Midorima and Murasakibara are very close to Akashi and Aomine and Kise literally adore Kuroko, and then there is the third and most important point their bond is guaranteed to be strengthened again, or why was this decided at someone's request", Hyuga concluded, which, admittedly, really contained the correct facts.
"In addition to these things, they are all six very close friends, although they would never admit it that way. Although they are so different - together they are incredible. Or why do you think they were put in a room. The tape needs to be replaced a little. This training camp is there for the fact that we still train somehow, but above all for the fact that we all get on well outside the field but still bring a fair rivalry to the field. "
Otsubo and Kasamatsu, who listened closely to Imayoshi and Hyuga, now got wide eyes. They have never thought about it that way. Now everything makes sense. And now Hyuga announced this.
"It was their idea, too," now six pairs of eyes were surprised on the Seirin captain.
"Kuroko told me before the training camp that the six had previously seen each other for a small basketball meeting and when they played together, Akashi came up with an idea. Why not hold a training camp - well, and here we are. It was their idea. It was their plan. And like everything the red-haired captain says, it worked. "
Kasamatsu and Otsubo opened their mouths and Imayoshi started to laugh.
"So you can say what you want about Akashi Seijuro - but one thing I really have to give him. His wealth of ideas to properly reunite the generation of miracles. "
"Right Imayoshi, we can only enjoy it now, when will we have the pleasure of seeing the six best players from Japan playing together in a team, and that live in front of our eyes", Otsubo now admitted.
"I can only agree with that. I really want to see how Akashi and Kuroko have this blonde bundle under control", Kasamatsu grinned.
So the four got back to work, there is not much time left. They wanted to be as punctual as possible.
.
Room 11
The situation is different in the Kiseki No Sedei room.
Upon arrival in the room, the purple giant of the group surrendered their sweets and Midorima went completely down when the chips crumbs fell on the carpet and the sheets fell. To fall on his sheets, it must be said. Everyone could only guess how the green-haired exploded inside.
No explosion came from the second room, but it looked like a typhoon had ravaged. There were clothes everywhere. No matter in which corner. But it doesn't seem to bother anyone, because Aomine was sleeping soundly on his bed again and didn't notice what was happening in his room. No wonder - after the shock at noon and after five servings and a competition dinner with Kagami and Nebuya. His roommate, however, was the excitement in person. At first the blond-haired whined about why they still had to train today, then his mood changed into excitement because he could play with his beloved Kurokocchi again and then he felt great despair because he didn't know what to wear .
Between this chaos, there were the two remaining players who, by the way, had already been sitting at the table for a long time, started the clock and slowly got angry because the other four men weren't there yet.
"Twenty minutes to the meeting point. I have no intention of being late again - I have never been late until noon today", Akashi murmured to himself.
Kuroko grimaced at it. He knew Akashi hated to be late for something unless he was the one who made the appointment. But here the coaches decided and not him, and he didn't want to annoy them at all. It was the same with Kuroko. He didn't want to upset Riko.
Fifteen more minutes.
"Maybe we should start without them", Akashi-kun," the light blue-haired man suggested to his former captain. The captain then thought for a moment and finally nods.
"I'll give them five more minutes. If they don't show up then they have to find their way to the sports hall themselves, I think Midorima will do it. "
"Do you really mean? He looks really pissed off and only by Murasakibara-kun. I don't want to know what that will be like with Kise-kun and Aomine-kun", Kuroko said uncertainly. He honestly didn't want to imagine how his former vice-captain would react.
"He has to get it done. You just have to treat them like children", Akashi said knowingly.
"Is that where Akashi-kun's parental side comes out of?", provoked the smaller of the two. The redhead looked at his opponent with a sharp look, but he didn't make a single face, he knew that he was right. Akashi has always been the father been in the group.
After a short pause in which neither of them said anything, Kuroko took a block out of his Seirin sports bag and wrote on one of the notes where the four had to go to get to the sports hall and then a message that Akashi and he were not too late wanted to come. Akashi watched him and after a short read he took Kuroko's pen and wrote afterwards that the four were responsible for this dilemma and would be punished by Kuroko and him as soon as they showed up during training.
So both of them got up, Kuroko put the note under the fruit bowl that was on the table and thus easily visible to the others, next to it Akashi put the room card and went after the light-blue-haired phantom and to the meeting point in the lobby of the hotel.
.
.
Once at the bottom, they were expecting the other teams and their coaches.
"Where have the other four gone again?", Kaijo coach asked the obvious.
Kuroko and Akashi exchanged a quick look, only to explain that they should all start without them, because the four were too busy to watch the time. Riko was able to persuade her not to let her anger out too much, that in the end she would still be in trouble for the four late guests. They also promised to give the remaining four a punishment that they will feel to the bone. With a knowing smile, she nodded to the two of them.
"Well then let's go. Let's go to our first training! "
.
.
"Where are Akashi and Kuroko?", asked the annoyed Midorima. After two hours, he had finally managed to get Murasakibara to clear the crumbs and get the other two annoying fools to move out of their room then he had wondered where the two smallest players were.
"Ne? Maybe in their room?", Aomine answered sleepily.
"They are not there. The door is closed", Midorima replied.
"Does that mean they left us ...?", and Kise began to whine at the obvious.
"Of course, or do you see them somewhere here?"
"Maybe they are hiding and we should find them."
With an undefined and desperate expression, Midorima looked at the giant purple baby.
"Don't you have them all!", he raged on, slowly he really couldn't. I won't survive this camp, I want to go home.
"Look, there's a piece of paper on the table", Aomine went to the table and took the paper. He scanned it briefly and then said: "The two really left us alone, they didn't want to be late .. and besides", then everyone heard Aomine swallowing loudly, "we will all be fined because we are guaranteed to be late. "Shortly after Aomine had finished speaking, silence came over the room, only a short time later from one loud, almost screaming voice of a green tsundere to be broken.
"It's all your fault! Why didn't I just let you do it, then I would be with the others now and you would get the trouble ... but no ... now I have to endure that - and KISE - finally stop crying. "
"But ... but Midori ..."
"No," he interrupted the blonde, "I really don't want to argue with you anymore, let's just go, it looks like they gave us directions at least."
Midorima shouldered his sports bag and took the room card. The other three remaining didn't even dare to look at him, each shouldered their sports bags and went out of the suite.
"I don't want to hear a single word from the three of you until we're at the gym. I have to concentrate now. "
And all three only thought: An angry Midorima - how can we survive that?

How did you like the chapter? I know it's going very slowly, but it has to be that way, otherwise I can't bring in my idea.
I still hope you like the chapter.
And did you notice anything else? The first real appearance of our surprise. I can imagine that most of you can already imagine who they are. Am I right?
Still, I hope you can wait a chapter until reunification is over. ;-)))
Best wishes Alina
