Thursday, 8:00 AM - Living Dreams Foundation, Tokyo
The next day came so fast and it's the kids' time to show their talent! Again, each team are in-charge of the preparations for the contest. The rules are very simple: pick out a member of the team that has the most confidence and talent so the group can win. SInce there are 10 teams, 10 contestants will be selected by Team Leaders to showcase their talent.
"Aaaaaaaaaand here we are today! Good morning everyone! This is our Talent Portion for the Kids!" Aida announces, bringing with her some of the papers required for the competition. "Today, we'll witness the potential of the kids and what can those talents hold in the future. Let us begin!"
And she then introduces the judges. First off, is the Director of Living Dreams himself - Mr. Nagase Akihito. Then, the woman of business herself - Ms. Louise Jae. Lastly, the Chairman of the Board of Judges, is none other than the future of Akashi Zaibatsu - Akashi Seijuurou. They allowed him to be a judge because of his objectivity in observing and grading people. Furihata is left to cheer for Akajima's team.
And so the contest starts with Contestant 1 from Hayama and Miyaji's managed team - Mimari Kiyoharu. He is a blonde boy who likes pineapples very much, just like Miyaji is. His talent is singing, which stunned the audience and the couple themselves. After his performance, the crowd shouts loudly and his teammates proud of him.
Contestant 2 is from Kasamatsu and Sakurai's managed team. A raven-haired girl with such sparkle in her eyes. Her name is Kamimura Shuna. Her talent is acting, which earned Akashi's attention. Sakurai is tensed while the girl performs while Kasamatsu just held his hand and watches with fondness of the girl.
Contestant 3 is from Mayuzumi and Mibuchi's managed team. She is a stunning snow-haired girl who has beauty like a goddess. Her name is Maruyama Rinne. Her talent is singing as well, catching Nagase's attention at how she ended the song with a falsetto. Now, everyone claps for her.
Contestant 4 is from Kiyoshi and Hyuuga's managed team. He has light brown hair, and a body build enough for his age. His name is Kishino Jiro. His talent is juggling objects. He starts with small ones like balls then shifting to glass bottles. The audience is caught in awe at that. Hyuuga smirks proudly at his team member, and a teasing from Kiyoshi if you insist.
Contestant 5 is from Aomine's managed team. He is the ever annoying kid (in AHOmine's opinion) but very caring and emotional, too. Of course, he is Kirishima Aoi. The members chose him because he is confident. His talent is dancing, mostly modern-style with a mix of hip-hop. Aomine sighs heavily at this. Who knew the kid has it in him?
Contestant 6 is from Kise's managed team. Quite stern, but cute at the same time. He is Aoyama Kirito. His talent is playing guitar, which in Kise's case, is very surprising. At a very young age, Aoyama was trained by the Foundation since they discovered his love for music. And here he is, playing one of his favorite songs.
Contestant 7 is from Murasakibara and Himuro's managed team. The very lively and cute Murata Takeshi. His talent is dancing, too. But his forte is traditional Japanese dance. Wearing a kimono and all, he dances his way to the stage and brought out his inner Japanese.
Contestant 8 is from Midorima and Takao's managed team. The clumsy and quite a ruckus girl - Midoriya Shikai. Her talent is Art. She draws a landscape of a perfect sunset in Japan, with sakura petals swaying in the air. As she finished her art, she stands up and shows it to the audience.
'A perfect one, little Shintarou.' Akashi thought and gives his grade for the talent.
Contestant 9 is from Akashi and Furihata's managed team. Such as wise red-haired child, she is Akajima Seikou. Her talent is to play the violin. Akashi is drawn to her music and nods once.
"This one looks like you, Akashi-kun." Ms. Jae comments, and Akashi hums in approval.
Lastly, Contestant 10 is from Kagami and Kuroko's managed team. The energetic and always pumped-up kid - Kaguya Taima. His talent is, well, puppet play. He imitates cute voices of some kids' show characters and portrays them comedically. Takao bursts in laughter as he understood the jokes while Midorima is tempted to smack him on the head. Kagami and Kuroko are laughing, too. Even if it's rare for Kuroko to laugh or smile, Kaguya managed to bring it out of him.
And now it's down to the tallying of scores. The audience are tensed and full of curiosity. Unfortunately, the results will be out tomorrow, so they can rest now and maybe bond some more.
"You were great out there, Mimari-kun!" Hayama cheers his team member and the kids brightly smiled to him.
"Thank you, Hayama-san! And Miyaji-san for believing in me." the kid says, eyes glistening with happiness.
"You're welcome." the couple replies, hugging the kid.
Kasamatsu and Sakurai help Kamimura to remove some make-up on her face as she is quite allergic to cosmetics. After a few minutes, her face is as normal as everyone else's.
"I didn't know you were good at acting." Kasamatsu says, amazement dancing in his eyes. The girl lightens up to him.
"Ah... Eh... A-Ano... Thank you, Kasamatsu-san." the girl tries to speak straight, then hugged the Kaijou Captain.
"Yukio-san, she loves you." Sakurai smiles, too.
"And I love you, too Ryou." Kasamatsu smirks and the Touou shooting guard blushes.
Mayuzumi and Mibuchi are helping out Maruyama with her costume. They decide to go with the make-up first then cleaned her face with water and tissue.
"Did do good out there, Mayuzumi-san, Mibuchi-san?" Maru asks, her face hopeful as she stares at the couple.
Mayuzumi, not being used to blushing girls, turned away. Mibuchi glares at him for a while, then looks back at Maru.
"Oh darling, you are the best there is! Your voice is heaven to our ears." Mibuchi compliments.
"Really? Thanks, Mibuchi-san... Or can I say... Kaa-san?"
This statement shocks Mayuzumi. The kid want to be theirs?
"Uhm. Of course, Rin-chan! And here is your Tou-chan who is very bad."
"I am not bad, you-"
"Uh, uh, uh! She's a kid..." Mibuchu clicks his tongue playfully and Mayuzumi scowls some more.
"You are the best parents I can have!" Maru says and hugs the two.
The rest of the kids are having fun time with their Team parents. While the rest of each team are already out, the star kids remained in their 'parents' side after all. That afternoon, the kids watched the teams practice for the final event of the week. All basketball teams are having drills and training menus served by their coaches so as early as today, they are on it.
"This is my most awaited part of all. I'm gonna make Bakagami eat dust." Aomine proudly smirked, saying out loud which causes Kagami to retort. And the usual banter begins.
"Look who's talking." Kuroko joins the banter and Aomine backed off because of the Phantom's glare.
"Oi, Tetsu! You just won by luck. Next time you won't even-"
And his statement is stopped midway by a kid whose always clinging to him.
"~Aominecchi~!" the boy calls, making Aomine smile wider than he ever did.
"Ah, Kirishima!" Aomine grabs the kid and carries him. "How's the best boy doing?"
"Ready to piss you off, Tou-chan!" Kirishima says and Aomine blushes. Now the others know what he and Kise are planning.
"W-Why you..." Aomine is cut off when Kise's arm connects with his.
"Kiricchi and Aoyamacchi are going to be our kids." Kise announces.
"Tell me why I am included there?" Aoyama scoffs.
"Oh c'mon, Aoyamacchi! You said you'd go for it!" Kise whines... again.
"Uh okay." Aoyama just says and looks at Kirishima, who blushes at the stare.
"Tou-chan, that kid is scary! I don't want to be his brother!"
"Tell that to Kise if you have the guts." Aomine just chuckles.
"You know Kirishima, maybe we should start getting along now." Aoyama stares at him with unknown feelings.
"And why is that so?" Kirishima tries to glare.
"Because we're brothers now, that's why." Aoyama answers, but Kirishima shows a face of hidden disappointment.
"Kiricchi, is something wrong?" Kise asks. The kid starts to blush again.
"Don't tell me..." Aomine figures out what he is missing here.
"I-It's not l-like t-that! It's just a crush!" Kirishima shies away with his face burning.
"You have a crush on Aoyama?" Aomine asks.
"You idiot! I thought you moved on!" Aoyama retorts with an obvious blush as well.
"I c-can't... Gomen, Ao-chan." Kirishima bows his head and Aoyama did what he needs to.
Aoyama hugs Kirishima, who flinches and hugs back.
"Aw man, what are we going to do here Kise?"
"Aominecchi... It's so cute!" Kise chose to fanboy over everything. Aomine snaps at him.
"So I guess one of them will be a son-in-law. You can't prevent feelings from long ago, anyway." Takao inserts, seeing the whole scene.
"Y-Yeah r-right." Aomine stutters, albeit confused.
"So, Ao-chan..."
"Yeah yeah... I love you, idiot."
"You don't have to call me idiot! That's mean, y'know?"
"I don't care.." Aoyama snorts but kisses Kirishima on the cheek.
"Okay, you two! Cut it out. We will have practice. You can watch over the bleachers, okay?" Aomine cuts in and drags Kise who's still heart-eyed. Kirishima and Aoyama sweat-drops, but linking hands as they sit on the bleachers to watch their parents-to-be.
And then again, it's a beautiful day.
To be Continued...
