Good day, Readers! Thank you for reading the chapter 2 of Red and Blue Destiny!

Before moving onto the third chapter, I'd like to reply some reviews :D

Kuroko-senPaille: LOL! You will find out in later! Just take a guess who will he be... ;D Thanks for reviewing! :D

Rinfantasy: Thank you for your review! :D I agree.. But tbh, When I wrote it, I was more angry with the girl… hahahhaha… well, anyway, They were still kids and sometimes things like this might happen...

Guest 1: Thank you for your review and grammar critique.. I appreciate it! :D (PS: Even though I use your laptop to write the story, you won't get any spoiler! Hehehhehe *evil grinned)

BabyNightmareLady: Thank you for your review! As one of his fans, I want him to be happy too! XD

Guest 2: Thank you for your support, guest-san! I will… XD

Dhea30: Thanks much the review! XD You will find out who is this 'best friend' in later chapter.. :D as for who is the oldest one, I think Japanese has its own way to determine (I guess more or less is determined by Japanese school starting month, which is in April). So the ones who were born starting from April would be the oldest one For example: among the first years, Fukuda was born on 26th April, is the oldest one. And Kuroko who was born on 31st January would be the youngest one (*source wikia, pls do correct me if I'm wrong).. And, as for Akashi, He has his own way to respect Kuroko. You will find out more in later chaps! ;)

Okay, Readers! Let's move on to the story! Hope you enjoy and happy reading! :D


Chapter III

Colors Around Red


"Good afternoon."

"Good afternoon to you too, Akashi-kun." Kuroko looked up from a book he is reading. He closed the book and took a sip from a paper cup. "How was your day?"

"Same boring as always. How was yours?" Akashi sat beside him. Leaning his back on a wall and facing up. Looking up at the clouds.

He sighed a little and said. "Okay. I guess. Nothing special."

Since they took different studying program, they were technically studying in different building. Akashi was in a new private building on west side while Kuroko was in the old building on the opposite side. Each buildings had its own cafeteria and other facilities. So, even during break time students from advanced program rarely interact with students from regular program.

"Really? I thought lies are not allowed."

He was silent for few second before he sighed and replied "I hate gym class."

Akashi held back a smile. He was proud that he started to be able to read this deadpan guy. "And may I know why?"

"Tanaka sensei asked us to practice soccer today. The boys played a game. I know I was really bad at it and I just wanted to sit down peacefully elsewhere. But luck wasn't on my side. The ball came flying and hit my head." He sighed while remembering the event.

"That's amusing. You said no one would notice since you have lack of presence but it seems the ball liked you."

"Thanks but no thanks. I still would prefer a human being." He said deadpan. Akashi chuckled at the reaction.

"By the way, I can't stay long. I need to attend practice today."

"Basketball?"

"Yes." Akashi nodded. Everyone in school knows that he is the captain of team even though he is still a freshman. Three years in Teiko junior high proved him to be more than a decent captain. He leaded the team to be the national champion three years in a row.

"Would you like to watch our pratice?" Akashi invited him. Before Kuroko could decline, the red head continued "The security will lock all doors early today. Including here."

He was hesitant for a while. "I see. Then, I will accept your invitation. Thank you for telling me." Kuroko slightly smiled and Akashi nodded in return.


They were walking in east side hallway in silence. As always, they didn't feel awkward about it. Rather, they were enjoying the moment. They walked until they reach boys locker room. Then Akashi stopped and turned to his companion.

"I am going to change. You can enter from the audience door. It is not locked."

"Okay."

After that, they went separate ways. Akashi opened the locker room door as he sighed at the view. Clothes and snack wraps were lying on the floor. He made a mental note to make two players run extra laps later. He changed his uniform into a black plain shirt, dark red short pants and a pair of white with red streak basketball shoes. He locked the door and headed to the gym.

He opened the gym door as he saw his teammates are running around the court. He greeted coach Shirogane, did stretching and join them running laps. After running 30 laps, they did the usual practice menu and ended it with two practice matches.

During break time, Akashi would glace at the audience seat. Looking for the teal blue haired. It took awhile to find him until Kuroko waved a hand. Akashi smiled a little and then look back to his teammates. They were currently drinking water or busy with themselves. Nobody realized someone was watching them practice. Interesting! He thought.

After practice ended, everyone were heading towards locker room for a refreshing shower. While Akashi decided to go to the audience seat. He found Kuroko was still sitting there and collecting his stuff. He didn't realize him standing there.

"So, how was it, Kuroko?"

The teal haired stood up and said "It was great. No wonder this team is one of the best in Japan."

"It will be the best soon." Akashi stated confidently. Kuroko didn't seem to get the point. He raised an eyebrow.

"There will be an Interhigh competition in three months." Akashi explained.

"You are confident to win." He stated not even questioning it.

"I am. Winning is a given. It's no different than normal breathing."

Before Kuroko could state a word, someone was calling Akashi from the court.

"Akashi what are doing there? We need to discuss something." A glasses green haired guy holding a frog toy called.

"Shintarou." He greeted back. "One moment. I am talking to someone here."

"What are you talking about?" The glasses lad raised an eye brow. "I don't see anyone there." He said as he squinted his eyes.

Akashi chuckled as he moved one step to left. Giving him a clearer view. As expected, he was surprised to see Kuroko standing there as he let out a manly scream.

"W-what?! Since when are you here?!" He pointed Kuroko with shaky finger.

"Since you all did warm ups." He stated deadpan.

"Unbelievable! I didn't see you at all! What are you?!"


After hearing the scream three other guys came running to the gym. The blonde haired push the door wide open, followed by a yawning a tanned skin guy and a munching giant.

"What happened Midorimachi?! Is there any spy?! Where is that guy?! We will beat him up!" A guy with one earring and blonde hair readied himself for an attack.

"Let him be, Kise. That Oha-asa freak can take care of himself very well. Even the opponent is a cockroach." A dark blue haired smirked.

"Midochin~ do you have more snacks? I just finished mine." A two meter giant was licking his fingers.

The glasses guy with many different names retorts back. "Aomine, one day I promise to burn down every single magazines in your locker! And Murasakibara, it's last pack I have. It was my cousin's not mine. So, don't expect me to give you another one in the future!"

Before this continues for God knows when it would end, Akashi decided to step in. They were now already standing on the court while they continued the bickering.

"Everyone, this is Kuroko Tetsuya. He was watching our practice from audience seat today." He gestured to Kuroko.

Everyone looked to the captain's side. Then they realized someone was actually standing there.

"Good afternoon, I am Kuroko Tetsuya from class 2-5. It's nice to meet you all." He bowed politely.

After that two more screams could be heard. Those belong to the blond and dark blue haired. The purple giant almost dropped his snack wrap.

"S-since when are you here?!" The three exclaimed. This time, Akashi answered the question and also explained very briefly on how they met… And then, Akashi re-introduce them again.

"This is Midorima Shintarou. He is the shooting guard as well as vice captain of the team." Midorima growled. "This is Kise Ryouta. Our small forward." The blonde winked in reply. "This is Murasakibara Atsushi, our center" the purple nodded "And this one is Aomine Daiki, the team's ace." The dark tanned grinned.

"It's nice to meet you. You are all working hard today."

"Thank you sempai!" Kise grinned widely.

"Um... just call me Kuroko. We are basically the same age. "

"What?! No way!" Kise exclaimed

"But you are a second year student!" Midorima adjust his glasses, looking surprised.

"I took an advanced class in junior high." He explained deadpan.

"Hmm~ he is smart. Unlike Minechin~.." Murasakibara patted Kuroko's head. The latter spat the giant's big hand politely.

"What?! Shut up, you snack eater freak!" Aomine finally gained his composure.

Akashi cleared his throat and the others immediately stopped talking. "It's getting late. I have to discuss something with Shintarou. You all better head home and rest."He commanded.

"Eh? Erm...that- that's right... we still have..um.. history homework.., right guys?" Kise said awkwardly and re-adjust a bag on his left shoulder.

"Er... yeah, I guess so." The tanned ace said absent mindedly, wide eyed.

"Ja~ let's go home . Bye, Akachin~... " Murasakibara put his wide arms on the his friends' shoulder and dragged them out.

Akashi nodded. "See you tomorrow, Kuroko." He slightly smiled

"See you tomorrow, Akashi-kun." Kuroko nodded in return

The three silently gaped at the scene. Kise was the first to snap and later dragging them out in a hurry. Kuroko silently following behind them, looking confused. Midorima stared at the guy beside him closely. This was noticed by the red haired captain.

"Is there something on my face?"

Midorima was tensed before he awkwardly shook his head and replied. "T-That's not it.. You..you look different."
