"Tatsuya! That is a very bad joke, isn´t it?!"
"You can´t be serious!"
...
"What if I don´t want to?! You know, I've bought the house here about 3 years ago. We like it here ! We have everything we need. We have a great house, the sea is just outside the front door and a basketball court nearby. We -"
...
"...damn Tatsuya!"
Taiga was furious. It was evening and Taiga was just about to make dinner for them after they had spent a great day on the beach.
Suddenly rang his phone, showed the number of his brother Tatsuya who stayed after school in Japan and moved together with Murasakibara later. In and of Itself the call was nothing unusual. At least once a month either Taiga or Tatsuya calls the other. At the beginning it was condition of Tatsuya for Taiga who wanted to go to America 10 years ago, but now it was routine. Neither of them wanted to lose contact like when there were teenagers and Taiga was delighted to hear news from his brother again.
But today it was different. He already regretted it to have answered the call. It was the first time the Tatsuya told him this story. This is also the reason why Taiga went frenziedly up and down in his house and tried to persuade his brother.
"...new opportunity, my ass ! I have already a very good job and great colleagues."
Kagami worked as a chef in a restaurant near Los Angeles which has been very successful in recent years. It owes this mainly taiga and his magnificent cooking skills. But it also became famous thanks to the stunning cake creations, which Taiga conjured. Especially his motive cakes are unique.
At the beginning as Taiga just came to America, he went for a couple of semesters to the university to study art before he improved his skills in baking and modeling. Today he is a master in cooking and baking.
"...Tatsuya, please. I don´t want to. Is there no other way? Don´t you have anyone else who can do this?"
...
"...damn ... when would you think?"
...
"WHAT ? ! In 2 weeks ? ! You couldn't tell me that earlier or what ?! How should I manage it in 2 weeks ?! I have to sell our house, quit my job, let the school know, find a new apartment and school, ... and that´s all in 2 weeks? Are you crazy ?!"
"...And have you ever thought about her? What should I tell Kyomi? ...This would be a huge change for her. "
...
" It was different for me! I was 16 and not 6 ! "
...
"Okay ... I'll ask her but if she says no, then you need to look for someone else!"
...
"Yes yes I tell her right now. Now let me first make dinner, okay? I'll call you soon again."
...
"Yeah ... Bye."
Taiga sighed deeply after he hung up. "Fuck", he muttered as he walked into the living room to look through the terrace door. He was not lying when he said he had the sea in front of the house and he was very proud of it. No 50 meters away he could see his daughter playing in the sand.
Well ... it was a little bit difficult to not notice her by her bright red hair which was exactly like the hair of her father. It shone even more in the evening sun. She had two small pigtails, blowing gently in the wind . Kyomi was just about to decorate the huge sandcastle with shells and stones which they built in the afternoon.
"...What should I do..."
"Soooo princess, time for bed!"
It was evening and Taiga was going to bring his daughter to bed.
"Do you have all your stuffed animals?"
"Mhhhh ... oh. I think I forgot Himitsu and Tiger in the living room !"
"Well... then they sleep there toda- "
"NOOOO daddy ! Can you please go and get them for me? Pleaaaasssseeeee" she said, looking at him with big blue eyes.
"You know I can´t refuse those eyes anything ... well I'll go get them" and he went defeated in the living room.
It didn't take long to find them. Right on the sofa was the big tiger which she has since her birth and Ayumi. Really, after all this time he still doesn't understand what the Ayumi is supposed to represent. A cat ... or a fox ...? No idea. A year ago, he accidentally saw the stuffed animal in a store. He thought it was funny that it had a Japanese name. Reminded of his time at Japan, he bought the black & pink Ayumi named Himitsu- secret. He found it described his feelings at this time...somehow.
Unfortunately, Kiyomi discovered quickly that there were three others, too. So... after less than a week later ,Taiga went to the same store again and bought Kibou (hope), Tanoshimi (fun) and Ai (love). Back in Kyomi´s room, he put the two next to Kyomi and the other stuffed animals.
He smiled at the sight of Kyomi and her five stuffed animals every time as he sat down at the edge of the bed.
Luckily, I bought her a big bed ...
"Sooo sunshine ... should I tell you a bedtime story ... or sing a lullaby?"
"No, no, no daddy ! Everything except this !"
"Heh you !", Taiga said as he tickled his daughter. "Just you wait !"
"Hahahaha...pleeeaaaase daddy! Stop it! hahahaha..."
"Okay, okay my princess...but only for you."
"huh..." Kyomi calmed down and looked Taiga directly in the eyes.
"Daddy?"
"Mhhh?"
"Is something? You've been so weird since the dinner ... "
Taiga widened his eyes a little.
How ...
He was once again surprised by the observation skills of his daughter. He couldn't fool her. In this aspect she was like Kuroko and he just hoped she wouldn´t expand these skills ...
"Well...you know... Tatsuya called today."
"Uncle Tatsuya?! How is he and Atsushi?"
"They are both fine, don´t worry."
" When will we visit them again? Or will they come to us? I want to have a cake eating contest with Atsushi again!"
Kyomi was literally beaming now. So excited was she about her ... regarding to the appetite of Kyomi ... she was like her father. Both had a black hole.
"Well..."
Taiga scratched at the back of his head while he lowered his gaze.
"Now, come on! Tell me!"
"Hmmm okay. I'll say it straight out. You know that Tatsuya and Atsushi have together m this restaurant with café. However, they want to work a little less now and looking for someone who can be the new boss. ...and you know how picky he can be. So he asked me whether I could... "
"So he wants you to come to Japan. "
"We, Kyomi. We. But yeah."
"And for how long?"
"Well ... for at least 1 year until forever?" Taiga scratched his head again.
"Hmmm okay. And do you want to go back to Japan? "
"...Well ... I'm not sure. Would you agree? If you say no, I will definitely not go. "
"From what time on will uncle Tatsuya need you? "
"Hach ... incredibly in two weeks ... "
"So I can´t go to school here... not even for one day ..."
"No you couldn´t. But we could find a great school in Japan for you."
"There I would have to speak and write Japanese... and these Kanji ..."
"Hey you already can speak Japanese !"
"But ... but ... isn't that difficult? You had also problems with this in your school ..."
"Yeah but only because I was stupid ! You're smart. You can already write Hiragana and Katakana and you will learn Kanji very quickly. You're my clever princess."
Taiga was really surprised how talented his daughter is. He was very glad that his stupidity wasn't inherited. Already at age 6, she speaks English and Japanese, can write both, letters and Hiragana/Katakana easily. Even simple arithmetic problems could she solve. In addition, she could also surf and play basketball very well for her age. Really...he was so happy that she didn´t get his stupidity.
"Hmmm okay but can you even so quickly find a new school for me?"
"Yeah don´t worry about it. School starts in a month in Japan. But we have to sell our house ... and we couldn't go surf every day ... Really I don't know what we should do ..."
"Can we play basketball in Tokyo every day?"
"Maybe not every day but yes. Why?"
"Okay daddy. Then we move to Japan. So we save the constant back and forth to visit uncle Tatsuya and Atsushi."
"Are you really sure? We don´t have to."
"But I'm sure and I want to get to know the country where you grew up better and not just for 2 weeks", said she and pouted.
"Okay. We go. I call Tatsuya and let him know ."
"Do this daddy but I have a condition, okay?" A big smile was on her face.
"Whatever you want."
"We surf every day, play basketball, you cook my favorite food and we visit aunt Alex again before we move."
"Of course we do! ... Thanks Kyomi."
"Oh daddy ... what would you do without me?" and Kyomi giggled.
"Hmmm ... I wouldn't have someone to tickle", and he tickled his daughter.
"Hahaha daddy enough ! hahaha ..."
"But now it's time to sleep. Goodnight sunshine. Sleep well." Taiga kissed Kiyomi on the forehead. Kagami was about to get up but Kyomi sat up again and hugged him tightly.
"I love you daddy." She gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you, too. But now sleep okay?"
"Yeah daddy. Good night."
"Sleep well, Kyomi." Taiga stood up, turned off the lights and left the room.
What would I do without you...
Taiga went into the living room, sat down on the sofa and dialed Tatsuya's number.
...my little sunshine...
Kyomi is more or less the result of an attempt to forget Aomine. In the early years there was hardly a day when he doesn't fantasized about A certain blue haired, dark skinned male and Taiga wanted to beat himself. He tried everything to forget him ... to move on with his life and find a new love but Aomine what holding him back. Whenever he tried to find someone he unconsciously compared them to Aomine and he couldn't stop it.
That's the reason he stopped to find someone.
In his third year in America he met a girl at his university. Her name what Caitlin and she came originally from New Jersey. She only came to study in Los Angeles and then wanted to go back again. It didn't take long until she was head over heels in love with Taiga. He told her repeatedly that she was only a friend to him but she didn't give up. Eventually he agreed that they could try to date. He didn't know why ... maybe out of pity or because he knew how it is to be unhappy in love. He felt sorry for her. Maybe it was also because of her dark blue eyes which reminded him so much of someone and he had always problems to refuse those eyes anything.
He had fun on their dates but it was never true love. He told her but she was satisfied like it they slept together. Not often. You could count the times on one hand and didn't even need all the fingers for it. But he realized he was thinking about the blunette instead and he couldn't do this anymore. He had to stop this. He didn't want to hurt Caitlin. That's why he broke up.
A few weeks later Caitlin came back and told him with tears that she was pregnant and she didn´t know what to do. She couldn´t tell her strict parents or raise a child. But abortion was not the answer because she loved it anyway.
Therefore Taiga decided to take care of the child. In the beginning he was pretty overwhelmed, especially as Kyomi was still a baby. But Alex supported him as best she could and eventually Taiga managed it by himself.
He is so glad he has Kyomi. After all these years there was sunshine in his life was the best thing that ever happened to him.
His beautiful little girl with scarlet red hair and midnight blue eyes which looked (unfortunately?) more like a special male's ones than her mother's eyes. She was always so happy, open-minded, friendly and active and Taiga don´t know why he deserves such a great girl. Nevertheless, he was very happy about it.
...
"...Tatsuya? It´s me. Kyomi said yes...so we will come to Japan."
"Puh ... that was the last box ... Finally !"
"Yeah daddy ! We are done !"
"Yes princess but remember, now you have to speak in Japanese otherwise it can happen that people don´t understand you, okay?"
"Alright daddy. Can I pick my room out?"
"Yeah ... do this."
"Yeah !" and she jumped to the rooms.
Taiga just smiled a tired smile at this enthusiasm.
Where get she all this energy? ... Damn I'm getting old...
Taiga sat wearily on the couch ... he needed a break. He still wonders how he had managed all this in not even two weeks. Selling the house was relatively quickly. It was more difficult for him to quit his job and to say goodbye to their friends.
Somehow he had managed it and to find in the whole mess a new, large apartment, too. It has besides the kitchen and bath, a living room with balcony and 3 bedrooms which were all about the same size, so he let Kyomi choose the room. One of the bedrooms will be a guest room if Alex comes to visit.
The great advantage of this apartment was its location. It was near the restaurants, Kyomis new school and a basketball court could be seen from the balcony. But this was not just any court...it was Taiga's special court even though he would never admit it. It was the place where he met Aomine for the first time. Of course it was irrelevant at the choice of the apartment... that´s was he tells himself at least.
The move itself was unproblematic. Taiga just took the most important things with them to Japan which also quite cost him to get them here so soon. Yesterday they arrived here and today they could bring their boxes and furniture into the new apartment. That has lasted throughout the day and it was already evening. Taiga stared at the ceiling.
"I should at least unpack the cartons with the dishes and make dinner ... Hach ..."
"Daddy, daddy! I found my room. Himitsu and Tiger just keep an eye on it. Can we paint my room green?"
Kyomi ran to Taiga and sat on his lap.
"Green? But then only a maximum of two walls otherwise it looks like a salad."
"Okay ... and the living room red?"
"We will see... We go tomorrow and buy some paint, okay?"
"Yeahhh !"
"...Kyomi where should we sleep tonight? We could sleep on the floor or I build my bed and we sleep there."
"Uhh ... your bed."
"Alright. Want to help me prepare food or go play basketball until I'm done?"
"Basketball !"
"I already thought so." Taiga smiled.
"The ball is in the corner but please be careful okay? I leave the balcony door open. If something happens, you just need to scream", Taiga chuckled.
"Haha very funny. I'm careful, I promise. I´m leaving."
Kyomi took the ball and ran to the basketball court.
"Phew ..." Taiga sighed. "Well then let's start..."
"Hmph...almost..."
Kyomi had her arms crossed as she stood under the basketball hoop and looked up. She had thrown some baskets for a while but now she tried to touch the net. She saw her father often dunk and was always fascinated by it, especially how high he can jump. She also want to do this. Unfortunately, the basket is too far up for her so she has the goal to jump so high to touch the net. Sometimes she could literally feel it. But today she didn't make it so she threw rather some baskets again.
"...Can I play with you?", someone suddenly said and Kiyomi winced.
" Wuahhhhh ! Where did you come from all of a sudden and how long were you standing there?" she said as she turned.
Behind her stood a boy with navy blue hair and crimson red eyes. He was wearing a hoodie and shorts and had a basketball in his hand. He was taller than her. The boy looked confused.
"Ehm ... what ... I don´t understand you ... "
First Kyomi looked confused,too, until the meaning hit her.
"Ahh ... I've talked in Engisch. Sorry. Where did you suddenly come from?"
The boy was suddenly relieved and smiled at her.
"You can understand me ! Well I was on my way home and I saw you and I watched you a litte bit. ... Can I play with you? "
"I thought you wanted to go home? "
"Oh...but 10 minutes more or less, it doesn´t matter. So? "
"Okay. Who makes the first 5 points wins. "
"Good !" he said enthusiastically.
Kyomi was also happy to find someone to play so early .
"You start !" , said the boy and threw the ball to her.
"What's your name anyway?"
"I? My name is Kagami Kyomi. And you? "
"I'm Aomine Ryo" ,said he proudly.
