-I dont own KnB-
In the hall - before the big bang ... and the surprise
"Well, there you are at last." With these words from Akashi, the four remaining members of the Kiseki No Sedai, brought out of their overwhelmed emotional world.
"We thought you should have gotten lost, luckily nothing happened to you," Kuroko now gave the four of them to understand, but everyone noticed the change. Not only in the two voices of the two smaller ones, which sounded almost as usual, but also in both auras. From Akashi, if the other teams were already used to it, the Rakuzan captain always had an intimidating aura around him, but Kuroko ...
For the first time, all teams saw that even the smallest of the wonder generation had a strong aura around them. Except for Kagami, who had seen him before, and more often than he liked, everyone else gasped. Even the respective coaches were shocked. Kagami just smiled knowingly. Kuroko can already scare you - luckily this time it's not me, it's Ahomine, hah!
"What? Kuroko-kun ... ", Riko whispered, frozen in awe by the change in her player.
"That ... I ... wow, what's going to happen now?" Koganei questioningly passed on to the others. However, he didn't get an answer, all eyes were too focused on what was happening in front of them.
Of course, the four "victims" also noticed the strong change in their otherwise calm teammates, but they were already used to the anger and the resulting consequences in this regard.
"A ... Aka ... shi, please let us explain, we" and he was interrupted.
"MIDORIMA!", the redhead's voice came harshly into the hall. Even the non-involved jumped.
"I don't need any explanations for this. Kuroko and I have been waiting for you. Neither of you should be late, but you managed to do it anyway. But not only that. You dared not to listen to both of us, neither Kuroko nor ME, when we said that you should hurry. No, you dared to argue again. But now you have to live with the consequences", in a calm voice, the four got to hear from Akashi what they all did wrong.
"Hmpf," came a sound suddenly from the other side. Four heads immediately turned in the direction of their phantom. The phantom looked at them, as usual, with an expressionless mine. No emotions to be seen, but who knows the little player, knows that the aura around him not only shows his emotions, but is also angry inside.
"Aomine-kun, Kise-kun, Midorima-kun, Murasakibara-kun - I'm really disappointed with you. I have nothing else to say. The rest is explained by Akashi-kun", the otherwise invisible player explained to his friends, who just looked like they were seeing a real spirit.
The other teams also hold their breath. Nobody wants to miss anything. Since both the red-head and the blue-head had reacted rather calmly than that they had shown their anger, everyone was now excited to see what would follow.
The first of the four to find his language again was Kise, who wanted to seal off.
"Kuro ... Kurokocchi, Akaka ... shicchi ... before ... that, we, so ... not as it is ...", and Akashi interrupted him again.
"Kise, please, leave the explanations. And before we start - take the small twigs out of your hair, that looks horrible", Akashi went in the direction of the hall that held the sports equipment and took out two basketball balls.
The other players were still frozen in the seats, except for Kagami and Hayama, no one dared to say anything.
"What is Akashi up to - he can never be trusted," admitted the Rakuzan player.
"But Blondie's hair looks really shitty. The birds are going to get their nests again", laughed the Seirin Ass, quietly broke. But his attention was immediately back on his shadow when he addressed the word Aomine and Kise.
"I think we have a game to play right? You wanted that, if I'm not mistaken?", the look the Kuroko showed did not mean anything to outsiders, but for close confidants like Kagami, the Seirin team and the other members of the Kiseki No Sedei, this meaningless expression meant a lot. .Angry.
"Oi Tetsu! You can't expect that from us now - let both of you cool off first, "Aomine addressed the two smallest of the generation. In retrospect: huge mistake from aho.
Instead of Kuroko, Akashi raised his right eyebrow and let Aomine understand: "I don't think you decide how we feel. Again, we were waiting for you and nobody, I emphasize, and NONE OF YOU, even took the trouble to pay attention to the time. I am disappointed too, I really thought you would have dropped this species. And Midorima", he turned his head towards the green-haired," I wouldn't have expected anything like that from you. "
The person addressed looked at that moment as if his soul was escaping and there was only one statue in front of all of them. Since Takao could not hold on and laughed himself broken.
"Oh heaven, with all Luky Items, I have to remember and copy that. Then I can always use it with the Tsundere ... haahahahaha ", the raven-black-haired player laughed at his audience seat. The others couldn't help but grin a little.
Looking back on the square, they saw the four late comers apologize and Akashi and Kuroko nodded briefly, after all they had to work as a team and they really didn't want to have a big argument.
"I hope you learn from it, oh, Midorima, I should borrow your blanket for a moment. You're guaranteed to have her with you", Akashi tore the green-haired Tsundere out of his paralysis.
The shooting guard looked at his former captain and asked why he needed the blanket.
"I got a little cold after the draft you let into the hall when you rushed in here and the rest of us were just getting warmed up."
With an "hmpf, please", the green-haired man gave the redhead the blanket.
And then it happened - as if out of nowhere. Two silver blades appeared close to Midorima's hand and with a "ratchet" the ceiling was divided into two parts.
Not only were the three chaos heads and a tsundere frozen and shocked again, but also the audience. Furihata was not the only one trembling all over. Momoi and Rakuzan's coach held their breath, knowing Akashi and his psychological nature. Riko and the other coaches kept their mouths open. "Akashi-kun," Kuroko looked at his red-haired companion. Two red irides looked at him questioningly, as if that were the most normal event in the world.
"Kuroko, weren't you cold too?", an urgently questioning undertone, in the red-haired captain's voice. Kuroko understood the hint: "Ah, yes, I was freezing a bit. Thanks Akashi-kun. Midorima-kun . "
The latter looked at Kuroko. Kuroko you little devil doesn't support Akashi either !
Murasakibara, who hadn't said anything yet but dropped his snacks out of his hand, was now saying what Midorima was thinking, and frankly, it always seems worse.
"You two look like two little devils from the Disney films, that's funny. I'm hungry, do you have something for me?", and yes it can get worse.
In front of Midorima, from which all life had now escaped, Aomine, whom no one had ever seen so "small", Kise, who was like a quiet source, and Murasakibara, who was not aware of any guilt, were no longer Akashi and Kuroko - but Satan and Hades himself.
"And we wanted a quiet first training session, but no, stupid and stupid, do it too much," Riko was, for most of it it seemed, in the end. Momoi, on the other hand: "It will be quick now, wait . "
Riko looked at the pink-haired manager, doubting what should come next.
But then there was a scream - a very loud scream that could only have come from one person - and when Riko looked in the direction where everyone else was looking spellbound, she saw the blonde kaijo ace lying on the floor, a little ahead of him a basketball, and Kise put his hands in front of his face, a few bumps were already forming on his head.
However, this image was only topped by another. Aomine, who was kneeling in front of Kuroko begging or rather hanging on one of the phantom's legs and begging admitting that he would do whatever Tetsu ordered him to do. Kuroko's face, of course, as expressionless as ever, but no one reserved the devilish glow in his eyes. Next to it stood Akashi, grinning, with glittering eyes and an aura around him that is still the same today.
The redhead now turned to the two remaining. Both of them, even the purple-haired giant, knew what followed. One of the two had experienced this too often in junior high.
"Murasakibara, Midorima - you know what you have to do, don't you? I don't have to explain it, do I? "
Both shook their heads synchronously. But before they took the two basketballs and were able to process their punishment, Akashi stopped them again.
"I think since you know that none of us are in junior high, should the punishment be raised to high school or what do you say Kuroko?"
The person addressed nodded.
"I totally agree with that. But since Kise has already been punished, there is only Aomine on my side, he will do the extra training - unless he has not only slept on the school roof but also put on more fat", mischievous and with a dark expression on his face, Kuroko looked at the still hanging Aomine, who from now on couldn't get his mouth shut.
"Then everything is cleared up. Kuroko, are you coming? The others over there", he pointed to the other, shocked, startled and grinning faces, teams and coaches. The light blue-haired nodded, and slowly they walked towards their waiting team members. Midorima, Murasakibara and Aomine, who apparently quickly got a basketball, the first rounds ran behind them. The first of so many ...
Arrived at the waiting people Akashi and Kuroko bowed as if in synchronization. And everyone was shocked. Why do they bow, shouldn't the other four do it ?!
"We apologize for this inevitable disruption. We should have known better that the four of them weren't listening again", Kuroko apologized.
Immediately afterwards, Akashi did the same.
"And the fact that we didn't have them under control has not happened to us for a long time. There will be no next time. From now on, we'll both take care of them. We apologize again for the inconvenience. "
Anyone who was still laughing now fell silent, those who weren't too shocked now, and those who raised their mouths were guaranteed to throw their jaws out. The first to find his words somehow was surprisingly Wakamatsu - and of course he had only one thought. "Why didn't we recruit them but this stupid, sleepy and selfish Dumbaaaaaassssssss", and then the tears were visible.
Wakamatsu was apparently very close, that Touou did not have Akashi and Kuroko in the team, but Aomine, who, by the way, deliberately did not listen. Admittedly, Imayoshi also had to agree with Wakamatsu, but on the other hand: Why had he made Wakamatsu captain again?
"O ... Ok..ay, we should, before ... come to the grouping of the training camp," Riko said carefully.
So the attention of the three runners and the one, who is still crying on the floor, turned to Riko and Momoi.
"We always have six til eight groups. A group is divided into two teams, but more on that later, "Riko began and looked around at Momoi, who now started to divide the groups.
"In the first group, group one, are Kagamin, Himuro-kun, Takao-kun, Wakamatsu-senpai, Miyaji-senpai. Group two will consist of Hyuga-senpai, Nebuya-kun, Kasamatsu-senpai, Mayuzumi-senpai and Kawahara-kun. The third group consists of Kiyoshi-senpai, Nakamura-kun, Sakurai, Fukui-senpai and Kimura-senpai. The fourth group consists of Imayoshi-senpai, Otsubo-senpai, Hayama-kun, Fukuda-kun and Izuki-senpai. In the fifth group are Moriyama-senpai, Mitobe-kun, Susa, Okamura-senpai and Furihata-kun. In the penultimate team, Mibuchi-kun, Liu-kun, Kobori-senpei, Tsuchida-kun, Hayakawa-kun gather. In addition, Hayakawa-kun changes with Koganei-kun. If everyone understood it, please gather in your groups and first adjust yourself to the balls in different relay for half an hour, so that you get the feeling for each other how each other is playing ", so Momoi ended her announcement Teams nodded and rallied on the pitch, while the three late comers were still running around, and Kise was begging Kuroko and Akashi, apparently enough tortured by Kuroko's Ignite Pass Kai.
"How long will they take, or rather, should they all be part of a team?", asked Kasamatsu carefully.
Shutoku's coach then nodded to the Kaijo player and told him that the association wanted it to, but they are guaranteed to train with their teams as well. Satisfied, the former Kaijo captain went to his "new" team.
Akashi, Kuroko and Kise, on the other hand, stood next to Riko and Momoi and observed the three, who were still running, by the way. Then Kuroko suddenly thought of something.
"Kise-kun, please tell me why there were twigs and leaves in your hair earlier. Did you fall into a bush? ", the Seirin player looked up blankly at the blonde. The addressed one looked embarrassed, and finally admitted that in the park, where they all went through, he did not pay attention to the path and neither did he on Midorima's exclamation that he should look forward and should not go forward with his back. And it was done. It took them longer because of that. With an embarrassed but guilty look, the blonde looked at his former mentor.
Kuroko just sighed and a small smile stole onto his lips.
"I think you know you can do better now. Hopefully you've learned from your mistakes, Kise-kun. Then I can be proud of you again. "
With his mouth open and his eyes wide, Kise looked at his "still for him" mentor. "Kurokocchi ...", he said in a low whisper.
"It's good Kise-kun, let's warm up right away - with a game."
"Oh yes, let's play in a team again, Kurokocchi!", and Kise was already in a crazy mood again, but Akashi slowed down a bit.
"But first I would like to do the same thing as the others with you. If the other teams rest after their training, I would like to do a warm-up game with you for ten minutes. Where, by the way, it is not about points, but simply that we get a real feeling for each other again, although that will certainly be easy. After that, I would like to play a ten-minute three-on-three. Thus Kuroko also fulfills the promise to play with you and Aomine", then he turned his attention to Riko", is that okay with you? I know we are a little out of line again, but ... ", yes before he could finish, Riko shook his head.
"Everything is okay the way it is. You won't always play in a team anyway. We'll take care of that, after all, this should be a training camp for everyone. But I think none of the others miss the chance to see you in action together ... even if it's just a workout. So - do your best."
Akashi, who was a little offended at first by the fact that Seirin's coach interrupted him, was now rather astonished. He didn't think she would say that. She was sympathetic to him at the Winter Cup even if he would never say it out loud, but now she became more sympathetic to him, which could really be a very good training camp.
.
.
After half an hour, all teams were ready. From steadily passing without a break, many became tired of the arms and most needed a break to strengthen their arms and to relax their muscles.
Most sat on the seats on the edge of the field, where their drinking bottles were and towels were lying. Most of the attention returned to the playing field, where the six Teiko graduates now stood and listened very carefully to what Akashi had to say.
"... and I want none of you to measure any strength in the first ten minutes. We do the same as the others - play together. Then we play three-on-three, you know the teams. You can then do your best here, as the coaches expect from us. And don't forget", everyone looked intently at the redhead, only Kuroko was the only one with a small smile on his face, because he knew what Akashi would say now, "let's play freely and have fun with it." That had apparently shocked the other four to look at their former captain with big, staring eyes.
Now it was Kuroko's turn to say something that they could finally start.
"Yes, let's play like a group of friends. Who love to play basketball together and have fun doing it. Without any points or competitions between us. After all, we're friends - and frankly, I can't wait to play with you again, even if it's only been a few weeks since we last played together", he finished the sentence with a smile, which even made the "Red King" and Tsundere Midorima a little upset. Aomine, Kise, and even Murasakibara looked at her phantom, beaming to smiling.
The new mood of their miracles was not hidden from the others in the "stands".
"What do Akashi and Kuroko say to them? Their mood is completely different now", began Otsubo.
"No idea, but in any case, they said something important, because I never saw that smile in any of them," Fukui now admitted.
"Even at Mursakibara you can see a little smile - and that's a big miracle - because he doesn't have any snacks with him there, because they are here with us," Liu replied.
"I'm surprised how easy it is for Kuroko to make Aomine smile, even beam, none of us managed to do that," admitted Imayoshi, who was watching the group closely.
"Yes, his eyes are really shining - even though it's not a competition," said Momoi, who had joined her team.
"This is Dai-chan - as I know him", even if Momoi held on, everyone noticed that she had to suppress her tears.
"Well, then let's see what our crazy little kohais will show us," stated Hyuga, who had sat next to the Touou team with Seirin and Riko.
And then the generation of wonders began to warm up ...
What the rest of the teams saw when the six players started could only be described with awe. The six did the same as the other groups before, but the six did not stop at one place and adjusted the ball back and forth, but used the entire basketball court in the hall. They not only fit the balls back and forth at record speed and that perfectly in the hands of the respective pass recipient, no, they changed directions, made a basket at the end of a pass - and for everyone it seemed as if they were Six in a completely different world.
Maybe they were.
Nobody could look away. They had never seen ball relays so short or long. The ball sometimes rotated so quickly between the six that no one could really see where the ball was. But the most important thing that everyone saw, coaches and players - and finally Momoi really shed tears were the huge ones. Smiling faces that all six wore.
"WOW," Hayama said first. He couldn't take his eyes off the first minute.
"And that's just an exercise, can you imagine what it would be like to see them in a game now?" Takao admitted.
"I've never seen Kuroko so exuberant, well, except maybe at the Winter Cup, after the Rakuzan game," Kagami announced.
Kuroko's smile could keep up with the sun. That was a little miracle itself. But he saw the same thing with Aomine, his self-declared archrival.
"See how they all play together. I thought they couldn't do that anymore - this is just incredible. "
Kasamatsu had to agree to Izuki.
"Yes definitely. Kise is often boisterous, but this ... is something completely different. "
On the field in front of them it was still going from one side to the other. None of the six wanted to stop, but they knew they still had a game. In the last two minutes, they went back to their pass game. And were surprised at how well it went. Although they had only been playing together for a few weeks.
As if reading their mind, Kiyoshi said to the others in the squares: "They are free. They take the liberty of playing like this because none of them have been pressured to score points here. It is an exercise to warm up and get to know each other. For them, on the other hand, it is not just a little warming up with the others, but strengthening a connection - which, even if none of them would ever admit it, was never really broken, even if it seemed so. They play with joy, you can see that immediately. And we should help them strengthen themselves. Their talent is well advanced, but mental strength is most important here. That is why, as Senpais, we are responsible for showing them the right way that they will not melt under their own pressure, as in middle school. "
Not only the other players, but also the coaches were impressed by what the center said.
"Kiyoshi is right, though," replied Himuro, who, like everyone else, had listened intently to the Seirin player, "because the boys are not yet adults. They clearly have the talent of professionals, but their bodies and, above all, their minds are far from being as advanced as that of an adult. They are just at the beginning of their journey, you have to teach all six of them. Even if Kuroko, Akashi and Midorima clearly share the knowledge of experts, they are still far from being in the life of a player who has to decide for the future. At the moment they are playing because it is their passion and because most of them prefer nothing more than that - by the way, like all of us - but in two years they must already have decided what they want to do. Of course, that applies to all first graders here. "
"Don't forget us - your trainers. We have as much life experience as you can dream of", announced Yosen coach Masako Araki and got many smiling faces.
Meanwhile, the two teams of three came together on the field. Momoi quickly ran onto the field as a TIP-OFF dealer so that the ten-minute game could begin.
"Oh look Taiga, Kuroko is in a team with Aomine and Kise. Aren't you curious how Aomine and Kuroko will play? I mean together? You have never seen them playing together, have you? ", Himuro asked his "brother" the all-important question that Kagami was generally afraid of.
Himuro heard a little grumble from him, but no correct answer. He was somehow curious to see how the two play together.
In front of them on the field, possession of the ball and the first points came first Akashi's team. No wonder due to Murasakibara. But immediately afterwards, the team was countered by Kuroko's team. And Kagami's mouth was open - just like everyone else. The fascinating thing about it was the interaction between Kuroko and Aomine. Anyone who thought that they still need time to find each other could immediately put away their doubts. The pass from Kuroko, which Kise had timed perfectly, landed at the speed of light and perfectly in the middle of the hands of Aomine, who finally only had to put the ball in the basket. However, the crazy thing about the move was that neither Kuroko nor Aomine looked at each other and the latter could still catch the ball with one hand. And the fistbump afterwards and the two bright smiles on their faces showed everyone else that Kuroko and Aomine, if they were on a team, would be the strongest duo in basketball.
"Coach? Just a quick question, may I?", Wakamatsu asked his coach, who, like the others, was fascinated by the practice game in front of them.
"Hm?"
"Um ... why didn't we recruit Kuroko? I mean ... do you all see that? Aomine is like a whole new person ... and ... and ... ", then Imayoshi interrupted him before the coach could say anything. He knew that Imayoshi would take it over.
"Wakamatsu, do you know why Teiko scored so many points?"
The addressee replied, despite having his eyes on the field, "thanks to Aomine and Midorima, I think."
"That is partly true, but most points were often scored by Aomine and Kuroko. In their second year, when everyone knew how they played, I visited one of their games. And then I saw what was the greatest strength of this Teiko team. The light and the shadow. No one could break through their interaction and the other three, who were each on the pitch, knew that exactly. Especially Akashi. You could even say that the trio Akashi, Kuroko, Aomine, can destroy an entire opposing team on their own. "
Not only Wakamatsu looked at his Senpai with wide eyes, also the majority of the others.
"But I thought Kagami and Kuroko are the strongest duo?", asked Takao.
"I thought so too - until now," Kagami admitted depressed. He couldn't hold it back for a while. He knew from the stories Kuroko had told him what a close bond he and Aomine had - and probably will always have, too when they play in other teams.
"As a duo, we are great together. But that we won against the generation of miracles is largely thanks to Kuroko. I know that I would be hopelessly lost without him, as the one-on-one with Aomine always proves to me. If we are both in the zone, then there is only us - but only through Kuroko did I get there. And Aomine, I think at least, knows that too. If I had stood on the other side and played against Aomine and Kuroko, who do you think would have won? Or rather, if there were two Kurokos and one was with Aomine and the other with me ... who would end up winning? "
"Kagami ...", Koganei started quietly, but Hyuga interrupted by shaking his head.
"You're a huge fool, you know that. Kuroko trusts you infinitely, if he didn't do it, he wouldn't have chosen you as his light, right? Rather he would have chosen Mister hothead iron heart, next to me ", while he slapped his hand on Kiyoshi's back, who then just gave Hyuga an angry look when he heard "Iron Heart ".
"Sumimasen that I raise the question, you are welcome to kill me afterwards, but I think if there were two Kuroko-kuns, the game would be even more interesting than it already is. But I also think Aomine-kun would win by a narrow margin. Sorry, really, sorry", Sakurai finally whimpered to Kagami. Everyone else just contorted their face. God, he needs something of self-confidence.
Kagami smiled it weakly: "I know that, that's how my thought was - but seeing it now is shit."
"Akashi, I think, would have loved to see HIM with us," interfered another voice and startled everyone else. None other than Mayuzumi had spoken. He was now looked at questioningly, but again and again the eyes flickered to the two teams, who played their last minutes.
"Well folks, who do I think I am "after", neh?"
"Well Kuroko, who else?", came dry from Takao.
Mayuzumi nodded and then said, "I don't like basketball like you do. I played, but never with great passion, I found other things better. The first sentences Akashi spoke to me were explanations that I am very much like someone he would know. And he wanted to make me better than that someone. Visibly didn't work, but I don't care."
"I've never thought of it that way," Mibuchi said.
"I don't know what happened to them, I don't want to, either, but they would all like Kuroko to be with them in their current team," Mayuzumi says again.
"Kise begged us to let Kuroko come to us. The first thing he did on our first day - after his crappy self-image - was to tell all of us to recruit a certain "Kurokocchi". We thought he was taking some herbs - we didn't know who "Kurokocchi" is. Well, now we know," wrinkled the Kasamatsu now admitted.
Since the game in front of them was so interesting, and the players on the field were only paying attention, none of them noticed like an hall door opening at the top of the spectator stands and two people were slowly making their way down to them.
The first was Rakuzan's coach Eiji Shirogane, who noticed the two new arrivals. A small smile appeared on his lips.
The two guests sat three rows behind the others, who incidentally did not notice that Shirogane was no longer with them.
"Welcome cousin and Nijimura. I am glad that you two could set it up. The boys are guaranteed to be very happy. How was the flight, did everything go well? ", Rakuzan's coach asked his older cousin.
The latter dismissed the question with a throwaway hand gesture.
"Eiji, don't be so formal. If our flights hadn't worked, we wouldn't be here, would we? And now I want to scare my little crazy fools ", he stood up with a malicious grin, but turned briefly to his companion, "and you Nijimura, hide yourself, stay in the background otherwise Akashi and Kuroko will see you and we want them pull both of them out of their perfect behavior patterns. "
The person addressed nodded and ducked behind the cousin of his former coach as best he could.
.
.
"How can you make over seventy points in ten minutes, please?", asked Koganei in shock.
He did not get that there was someone behind him who could not help but answer.
"When you have six different hair colors on the field, something like that happens," Kozo Shirogane, former Kiseki no Sedei coach, said loudly that everyone in the hall could hear it. And you would have heard a pin drop on it.
Frightened, shocked, frozen, and rather confused faces now looked at him. On the field you could only hear a ball being dropped and making little noise on it until it fell silent.
And then: "EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH ? !"
.
.
After a somewhat longer break, I'm back with chapter seven. And with the longest chapter so far - as a small excuse that you had to wait a week.
Well, was the surprise successful, or did you know somehow that it would be the two of them?
I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
I think chapter eight will be just as long, certainly longer, because it will react to the first episode of the anime. Are you looking forward to it? I definitely ... hehe. ;-))))
Best wishes Alina
