What Type of Girl You Prefer? (OMAKE II)

It was a Tuesday afternoon (a day before the practice match between Seirin and a certain high school from Academy City) and to the members of the basketball club, it was just another normal day for them. Normal is their term for the hellish practice regimes and their training that their coach Aida Riko subjects them to.

"Kuroko-kun! Pass it to Teppei!" the female coach shouted at their passing specialist, who was known as the Phantom Sixth Man of the Generation of Miracles, a team that had won three straight middle school championships in their peak of their power. The pale Kuroko responded by altering the pass course originally intended for their clutch captain Hyuga, flicking his writs so the ball instead goes to Kiyoshi, who dunks the leather.

"Kagami-kun, no! That's a foul!" the coach's words fell into deaf ears as Kagami, the red headed power forward and ace, ended up colliding with the Chihuahua-guy Furihata, who nearly got crushed under the tall guy's butt.

"Ittai…sorry there, Furihata," Kagami quickly apologized as he helps the timid boy get up to his feet. Afterwards, the game resumed and Aida then began shouting again.

"Kamijou-kun, just keep bringing up the ball!" she shouted to their second-year spiky haired kid, who possesses the mysterious power called Imagine Breaker in his right hand, quickly nods and doubles his speed. In a nick of time, he outruns both Mitobe and Tsuchida as he smoothly makes a soft yet effective double clutch to avoid Kagami's long arms and scores.

"Nice one, Kamijou!" Koganei, who was sitting on the bench after getting subbed out, cheered for his scrimmage teammate. The younger boy only smiled as they went back to defense while Kagami plows his way in for a dunk.

"I've never felt so relaxed in a long time," Aida suddenly said as she stretches her arms while watching the players continue their game, "Our situation today is quite very fortunate unlike last year." She smiles as she watches Kamijou now make his long-range bomb from the three-point area.

"I do notice you're in a good mood today, kantoku," Koganei said as he sips his water, "Maybe you do have a point, though. Just two years ago, it was only you, me, Hyuga, Kiyoshi, Izuki, Mitobe, and Tsuchida. Now, we have a talented and younger core in Kuroko, Kagami, Kamijou, and the others. Seirin's future at its best."

"Now, I do remember that we have a practice match against Kamijou'kun's former school tomorrow," the brunette coach said in a wondering voice, "Well, we'll be fine tomorrow as long as they don't underestimate their opponents and they worked hard."

After another hour of training, they decided to stop for this day as everyone was now drenched in sweat and are very thirsty. Quickly, the second-year trio then ran into their bags to refresh themselves up. While Kagami was busy chugging down his Gatorade and Kuroko was drinking lots of water, Kamijou was staring at the picture of him, Tsuchimikado, and Aogami in a carnival. He grimaced at that photo as judging by the youth in their faces, he assumed that it was taken when they were in their third year middle school. And just tomorrow, I'll face them once again. Such misfortune.

"Kamijou-senpai, what's wrong?" Asahina Daigo, their rookie forward, suddenly asked in slight concern as the latter passed by the three.

"Uh…sorry. That was nothing. I'm fine, just needed some things to thought over," the spiky haired boy made an excuse as he quickly pushes the photo back into his wallet just in time to hear their coach suddenly announce, "Guys! Tomorrow is our practice match against Kamijou-kun's former school so…"

Everyone waited anxiously as the coach thought deeply while closing her eyes.

"Let's all go to Maji Burger!"

She was met with a deafening silence and awful stares.

"What!? What's the problem!?" she shouted angrily as she pulls out her slapping fan from her bag which made all the players retreat back in fear, "What's wrong with going to Maji Burger, huh!? We can use some break to help our rookies calm their nerves!" After a little while, all the players reluctantly agreed to go together in the burger chain. All of the players changed into their gakuran uniforms while Kuroko goes to the corner part of the gymnasium and quickly puts Tetsuya Nigou, the Alaskan Malamute puppy and mascot of the team, in his duffel bag. In a short time, they were all ready to go.

While they are walking towards the restaurant, Kamijou puts on his earphones and began to listen to some pop music. He was basically exhausted from today's practice so eating out with his friends and teammates is a welcome thing to him. As he listened to his music, he then watches Kuroko and Kagami having an argument about Aomine's strength, Izuki annoying everyone with his puns, Hyuga merely sighing at the abnormality of his team, Kiyoshi showing off his goofy smile, Koganei yapping while Mitobe was merely moving his lips. The others seemed pretty normal. Kamijou smiled at this. There really isn't any boring moment with this team.

Finally, they reached their destination and quickly, Hyuga orders the freshmen to find a seat large enough for them to occupy and fit in. The rest then went in linear formation to the cashier as one by one, they made their order. Kagami bought his usual twenty burgers and a cola while Kuroko is satisfied with his cups of vanilla milkshakes. The others just ordered either a burger, French fries, sundae, or just nachos. After ordering, they all quickly went back to their seats and began to eat their meals quietly.

But as they were all eating in complete peace, Koganei suddenly asked out aloud, "You know guys, I was just wondering if anyone of you guys except coach actually had a crush in school. I mean, it just came into my mind when I heard two of my classmates suddenly gossip about a guy in Seirin's judo club. They say he's a total jock…"

"It's not good to listen to gossips, Koga," Hyuga cut him off blatantly but inwardly, he knew it was also an awkward matter since Kiyoshi and Aida used to date one another before breaking and he also had to serious feelings for their coach though he chose not to reveal it yet for fear (or rather, annoyance) of hearing endless bickering and teasing from both his fellow senpais and their kouhais.

"Hmmm…that's an interesting topic," Aida suddenly stopped sipping her sundae, to the shock of her players, "Very well, every one of you would answer my question, and which is basically the girl you like. I would also like to hear put their qualities, likes, dislikes, brands preferred, etc. etc…"

Every player sweat dropped at hearing their coach rant and rant. Are you a stalker, coach!?

"First, off you go, Kuroko-kun," the coach smiled sweetly at their passing specialist, who wanted to escape form this activity but he was already spotted by the brunette before he can even make his move. Upon hearing Kuroko's name, everyone leaned in closer in both curiosity and slight excitement since actually wanted to know if Kuroko actually had any girl he had drooled on. Feeling the aura of curiosity surrounding him, Kuroko had no other choice but to tell his story. He then sighed.

"I don't like any particular person in our class," he started, "And no, I like Momoi as a friend but not in that way." The players were all heart-broken at how he blatantly rejected the pinkette's love for him. How straightforward!

"But…" his sudden tensing up caught the attention of everybody, "I do admit that I prefer gentle girls."

"Oh…" Kagami said in surprise as Aida then put this one in her mind. At least, I have a blackmail material in the future!

"Ok, then Kagami's next!" Koganei shouted as the mentioned ace nearly spluttered his cola at Hyuga's fries. Now getting fidgety, Kagami wanted to back out of this but suddenly, Kuroko said, "Don't push yourself to hard, Kagami-kun. We know you are a baka so be proud of it."

"Kuroko teme! What did you say…" Kagami was inches from wanting to hold his shadow's head but was stopped by slap in his face with the coach's slapping fan. Grunting, he then said a simple, "I prefer stable girls." And he decided to keep quiet and continue to keep munching his burgers. Sighing, Aida decided to continue on. The players complied and with every minute passing, the laughter is getting stronger. Everyone was laughing pretty hard as Hyuga admitted that he likes energetic people. Kiyoshi kept nudging him to admit his love for his ex, which resulted him getting a karate chop from the clutch shooting guard. Meanwhile, Izuki cried when he admitted that he loves girls who could understand his puns whoch resulted in him getting smacked by almost everyone. The rest were pretty normal revelations. As everyone was speaking, Kamijou was actually nervous as to what he would say. I actually like the one-san types but knowing Kuroko and Kagami here, I doubt they would even believe. He actually told them some things yesterday in relation to the diary that Kamijou kept and they promised that somehow, they won't tell in to everyone. But still, I'm feeling butterflies in the stomach. What is this supposed to mean…

"Kamijou-kun!" He froze upon hearing his name get called by his coach, "It looks like everyone is finished. I know that you like Fukiyose-san so much." The boy simply groaned at this. I'm telling our relationship isn't like that!

"But judging by the fact that Index-san and that crazy middle schooler in red jacket has also visited you," the coach continued, referring to Lessar, "It looks like your taste is very divers. So…please tell us honestly, who do you really like? Fukiyose-san? That insane middle schooler? Or Index-san? I'm putting my bet on Fukiyose-san. She's sweeter in my opinion." She said her view which the spiky haired boy doesn't seem to share.

"Me too. I'm betting on Fukiyose," Kahawara suddenly said.

"No! I'm betting on Index on this one!" Hyuga grinned, his glasses shining with the glint of a psychopath promising pain to his opponents.

"It seems like Index has too much affection for Kamijou," Kiyoshi smiled like an idiot.

"Hmmmm…my impression on Fukiyose is actually much better though," Izuki thought aloud, his hand touching his chin.

"Eh? So no one's actually voting for that Lessar lady?" Koganei was genuinely shocked.

"More like, are you all forgetting someone else?" Tsuchida suddenly voiced out his concerns, "We had to include Misaka-san, right?"

Suddenly, everyone was quiet at what the rebounder said as if saying, "Yeah, how can we forget?"

"Eh? Why are we putting that biri-biri on the bet? I don't think someone's crazy enough to enter into a relationship with a trigger-happy, electricity-wielding spoiled brat like her." Now, even Kagami is calling the Level 3 Esper of Academy City a bug zapper. He can't be blamed entirely for that; his older brother-figure Himuro was present when the mentioned Esper used her powers to bring out her frustrations against the spiky haired boy.

Kamijou sweat dropped as he realized the whole conversation had gone from "What type I prefer and who is the one I like?" to some sort of a confession and admission of love with either three people, not counting the Ace of Tokiwadai.

"Okay guys…" he finally said, capturing the attention of his teammates, "Well, to clear the air up, I haven't yet pursued a romantic relationship with the three of them. And just because they care doesn't mean it's love. And I like onee-san types, for your information and none of them are even older than me." He said with finality, which they all accepted until Kuroko suddenly dropped something which hit him like an atomic bomb.

"So you're telling me you're in love with Kanzaki Kaori-san?" the tealnette said in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear.

For a moment, everyone processed what the tealnette said and once they recovered, Hyuga was the first to ask, "Eh? Who is this Kanzaki Kaori, if I may ask?"

"Kamijou-kun said that's another woman he met…"

"Dammit, Kuroko!" the Imagine Breaker user yelled in exasperation, "I thought we three had agreed that we would keep that topic to ourselves!"

"It can't be helped, Kamijou-kun. You can't simply keep secrets forever," Kuroko replied in a stoic manner, "And besides, you said once that you kept encountering misfortune so I might as well get over with it by telling about Kanzaki-san to everyone."

What kind of bizarre reasoning is that!? Kamijou inwardly screamed as he noticed every one of his senpais began to look at him with a shocked expression.

"Oh yeah," Kagami also joined in, "You didn't finished the story about that girl you named Itsuwa…"

"And that girl named Orsola…" Kuroko deadpanned.

"Oh…you also mentioned Leivinia…"

"Please…just please…" The spiky haired boy was now pleading to his two friends, "Will you please shut up no!?"

"Oh hoh, Kamijou-kun…"

Hearing that chilly, icy voice, the boy then turned to face a smiling Aida, who seemed like she was about to get crazy with every namedrop that the light-and-shadow duo does.

"I'm extremely hurt that someone as caring as Fukiyose can be cheated on her back," the coach cracked her knuckles, "And to think that one cheater just happened to be on my team. Maybe we should really teach some sort of lesson to those womanizers, neh, Kamijou-kun?"

Kamijou can only shiver as he watches the coach come forward in his place.

Afterwards, a couple passing by the place swore that heard someone shout, "Fukou Daaaaaaa!"

So yeah, I made this one shot while starting the next chapter for this one and finishing the chapters of my other stories. It's my way of decreasing the chances of Writer's Block.

So have a good day and promise. I'll update again (not particularly in this story...yet) on Christmas Day.
