Chapter 1: The First Sign

Loud cheers could be heard all throughout the arena, but a strange person wearing a grey hoodie and sweat pants could be seen walking through the hallways ignoring everything.

Seirin basketball team was walking happily towards their assigned locker room. They had won and Kuroko was quite happy. Not just him, but every single one of them were smiling. If other people saw them, they would say that the team were grinning like idiots. But none of them would care to what the others would say. They were champions!

They entered the locker room and they could still not contain their They entered the locker room and they could still not contain their celebration. Kagami was the one that started and everyone else followed after, even Riko. They all cheered and clapped and sung terribly. Some even raised their fists into the air and were about to shake the lockers, thankfully Hyuga saw it and was stopped quickly. One would quickly stop if the captain was holding their heads with a silent threat. It was only after some time that they have somewhat resorted to a relatively calm atmosphere.

"Well, everyone should change and then we'll celebrate!" Riko announced gladly. "I have a 70% off discount coupon! The first one that finishes gets it!"

The players quickly made their way to their assigned lockers and grabbed their spare clothes and towel. They had to make it swiftly or someone else would win the coupon. All of them were hungry and in need of food. In a record time of fifteen seconds, the shower was running. Riko nodded and made her way to the lounge area of the arena.

However, not every male was in the shower. The phantom sixth man stayed there with his locker door wide open. It was only after Teppei returned that Kuroko snapped out of the trance he had been in.

"Kuroko, what are you doing standing there?" Teppei asked. He was wrapped in a towel to cover his muscular body.

Kuroko stared at him, opened his mouth and closed it. After some contemplation, he answered the kind hearted giant. "She's back. She's here and she left a case full of energy drinks in my locker."
