GENERATION OF MUSIC
Song 2; Deja vu
"…I am sorry, but I will have to refuse that offer." Kuroko bowed curtly. "Thank you though, for the chance."
Kagami and Himuro stared wide-eyed at the boy; he was offered a once in a life time chance! Why hadn't he agreed to it? It was the Kiseki no Sedai, the number one band in Japan — almost the whole word.
Aida and her two friends choked on their breath. "K-Kuroko-kun..." Aida whispered, shock obvious in her voice.
As they looked at Kuroko in disbelief, the Kiseki no Sedai each had their own reactions.
Murasakibara stopped munching his snacks for once; his bags of chips fell to the floor, dirtying them. (Janitor: Hey!) The violet haired teen glanced at Kuroko, then at the – cough — short — cough — leader of Kiseki no Sedai.
Aomine's jaw dropped and he took one step back. His face darkened in fear of Akashi.
Midorima turned his head to the redhead, delivering a message. "Akashi..! Do not do anything reckless now!" But Akashi ignored him.
Kise raised his hands in a defeated manner while he slowly tried to make his image smaller (like in the cartoons) while an exclamation mark was, oddly enough, there above his head.
It looked like the background behind them was black with thunder, but it could be changed to a blizzard.
No one — I repeat, no one, denied Akashi.
Akashi Seijuro was always right and no one dared to deny or object to him.
Whether it was an offer or an order, Akashi was absolute.
Each of them had the same thought, which was, "Aka-chin/Akashi/Akashicchi is going to kill him..."
"Yikes, I hope that Akashi will remember that this Tetsu dude doesn't even know him,"Aomine hoped. "If that happens, then his life is still not in danger..."
Meanwhile, Akashi was smiling sweetly but everyone knew that he was hiding a twitch in his eye. "What did you say? Tetsuya."
Kuroko frowned. "I'm afraid that I must reject your offer. And please do not call me by my first name, we have just met."
"This kid sure has guts..."Aomine thought, sweat dropping.
Akashi released his breath and an overwhelming silence greeted them.
"W-We should be going now…" Aida broke the silence. She tugged on Hyuuga and Kiyoshi's sleeves as she reminded Kagami, Himuro and Kuroko that their next recording was in another building. "Kagami-kun, Himuro-kun, Kuroko-kun, let's go...!"
Kuroko nodded, "Then, shall we meet again? Carrot-san (Midorima), Giant-san (Murasakibara), Tanned Pervert-san (Aomine), Piercing-san (Kise), and... a sexually air—Redhead-san (Akashi...)" Kuroko glanced at them while stating their own nicknames that he'd made that second. As for the moment when he said Akashi's nickname, he had bitten his own tongue for a second, making him to corrected his sentence.
Originally, he was about to say; "Sexually air headed-san" but he wouldn't want to make a ruckus, so he refrained calling him that.
After they left, the Kiseki no Sedai was left there, frozen like statues.

"I-I-I'm...the tanned pervert?!" Aomine shouted, clearly annoyed by his nickname. Sure, he brought a bag with magazines. That sort of magazines, but it was well hidden, damnit! How the hell did Kuroko knew?!
Aomine glanced at his bag, not seeing any signs of it being shown. "How did he even notice-" He cut himself up. Paling slightly, he can see the slight glimpse of the paper. It seems that the 'tanned pervert' forgot that there was a secret pocket on the bag.
And the magazine was seen.
Only a little though.
But the ero magazine has an unique cover, also, the title was a bit shown.
Crap, that Kuroko person's eyesight is incredible.
"I'm... a giant." Murasakibara didn't look like he was annoyed by it, ignoring it.
"I do not look like a carrot!" Midorima protested. "Me wearing an orange colored shirt does not mean that I look like a carrot!"
"Wait… does that mean I'm the piercing?! Why must everyone comment about that?" Kise wailed.
"Then... Aka-chin is the sexually air— Oops— redhead?" Murasakibara asked and received a death glare from his friends.
"Don't say that out loud! You'll get killed!"
...
Snip snip snip snip
"GYAA, KISE, RESTRAIN AKASHI!"
"I know, I know, Aominecchi!"
Akashi snipped his scissors dangerously, "Do not remind me of the ridiculous nickname Tetsuya has given me on purpose."
Midorima pushed his glasses. "Akashi."
"What is it, Shintaro?" the redhead asked.
"It is quite rare that you have been rejected. Don't point the scissors at me, Akashi. As I was saying, it's rare to see you being defied. Are you... going to give that boy, Kuroko, something?"
Kise and Aomine stiffened, knowing that 'something' wasn't good at all.
Akashi chuckled, putting his scissors back in his pocket. Instead of anything more terrifying, a phone was in his hand. He dialed a number on his contacts and waited for the other line to pick up.
"I have a plan."
Kuroko Tetsuya inwardly sighed, feeling shivers running down his temple. Had someone talked about him behind his back?
He rubbed his nose, feeling like he was about to sneeze.
Kagami and Himuro stared at him as if he were insane.
Kuroko arched a questioning eyebrow at them, catching them staring. "...Please don't stare at me like that. I feel uncomfortable."
"Kuroko! You— did you just—?!" Kagami stumbled over his words.
Himuro slapped a hand over the tiger's mouth, cutting him off. "Pardon me, Kuroko-san. But Taiga here can't speak very well after that, so I'll be the one who'll say it for him." His one visible eye glanced at Kagami for a while and he closed them. "Kuroko-san, why did you refuse their offer?"
Kuroko didn't say anything so Himuro let himself continue. "The Kiseki no Sedai is a famous band; to be a member of it is an honor, especially if you are invited to it."
Kagami nodded.
Hyuuga took out a magazine with said band on the cover. "See? They are this popular; join it and you'll be rich and famous in a second!"
All of them nodded.
Kuroko sipped the vanilla milkshake he had bought earlier, the sweet taste of vanilla on his tongue. "… Actually, the reason is quite simple."
"What is it then?" Kiyoshi asked.
The teal haired boy stopped sipping his drink, staring blankly at his manager with his deep aqua eyes.
"Because I do not feel any feelings or passion in their singing."
"Nice recordings as always, Kuroko-kun!" A man in his late thirties said cheerfully. "You can head to your next recording. I'm done."
"Then I will head—"
"No, Kagami-kun. You are still going to record your song."
The redhead's eyebrows twitched, "What?! How can that be possible…?"
"It is possible. You made a few mistakes in the notes right here… Oh, right here too and here..." The man pointed out the mistakes. Waving a hand to dismiss Kuroko, he smiled. "Kuroko-kun, go. Kagami-kun will catch up."
"I understand." Kuroko nodded and bowed. "Thank you for your cooperation today."
"Don't go agreeing with him, you idiot!" Kagami protested.
Kuroko ignored Kagami and took his bag. "Himuro-kun, please take care of Kagami-kun while he's recording."
Himuro hummed and nodded. "Got that. Meet you later at the park, okay? At 2 p.m. sharp. Taiga here is not on the same schedule with you today."
"Then, I shall take my leave."
Kise pouted, grabbing his wallet as he entered the supermarket.
"Asking me to buy some juice alone… Damn, can't they buy their own?" Kise whined.
"Ryouta, go buy some drinks," Akashi said, sitting on the sofa casually. "A soda would be fine."
Aomine yawned slightly. "Same as Akashi."
"As Oha-Asa said, I should drink orange juice today, so I will have that one," Midorima said.
Murasakibara thought for a while. "Um… Kise-chin, I'll have the same thing as Mine-chin and Aka-chin."
Kise 'eeh'ed for a moment, pouting. "Why me?!"
Akashi snapped at him and a pair of scissors were in front of Kise's eyes, just a few inches from them. "Eep," Kise squeaked.
"That's an order, Ryouta."
He followed Akashi's order and ran to the market.
"Oh well, it's Akashicchi's order after all. I'm still too young to die." Kise paid for the drinks and was about to leave when he felt something or someone bump into him. "S-Sorry," he apologized frantically, searching for the person. When Kise didn't find anyone, he wondered about that.
"Excuse me, but I'm right here."
Kise jumped in shock. "A-A ghost?!"
The boy frowned. "No I am not... scaredy cat-san."
His golden eyes widened. "You're that person from before who denied Akashicchi!"
He arched an eyebrow. "Akashicchi? That red haired person?"
Kise nodded.
"Ah, I see. And if you will excuse me, but I would like you to move right now."
"Ah, wait! I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Kise—" Kise started.
"You don't need to. I already know your name, along with the rest of Kiseki no Sedai too," Kuroko interrupted.
The model blinked before staring blankly at him. "Eh?"
"Then, good bye, Kise-kun."
..
..
The blond pouted. "If he knew my name and the others' names, then why did he have to give us those weird nicknames?" he whined.
Kuroko heard his ringtone sounding from his pocket. He opened his cell phone to find the director of the drama he was about to act in. Other than his singing career, Kuroko also did voice acting in some dramas or cartoons, but his main job is a singer. Kagami and Himuro were the same as him.
He accepted the call and began the greeting. "Hello?"
"H-Hello, K-Kuroko-kun.."
Kuroko paused before answering, "Yes, may I ask what your business with me is? I am almost there."
The other side gulped, "Y-You see, Kuroko-kun... there will be five other singers who will join us today as the leads…"
"What happened to the former leads?"
"They… were force—they quit." He gulped again, almost spitting out the truth.
Kuroko paid no heed to the shivering voice of the director. "I understand, I do not mind. Thank you for telling me that." He hung up.
The pale boy frowned. It wasn't like the director to stutter like that.
Something was definitely going on.
Kuroko Tetsuya wasn't shocked at all.
He merely kept a blank expression.
However, the four members of the Kiseki no Sedai were completely different from him. They were in a frozen state, with the exception of Akashi, who was smirking mischievously behind his smile. "Is this... déjà vu?" Aomine laughed nervously.
"Tetsuya, it's nice to see you again," Akashi said, paying no heed to the tanned singer.
Kuroko bowed his head. "Nice to see you again..."
"Before you make any weird nicknames for us, I would like to introduce ourselves; I am Akashi Seijuro. The others will introduce themselves, now."
Midorima was the first person to recover. "Midorima Shintaro."
"A-Aomine… Daiki."
"Murasakibara Atsushi..."
Kise rubbed the back of his head. "Since it Akashicchi's order… Then, Kise Ryouta! But you already knew anyway."
Akashi raised a questioning eyebrow, "Oh? Is that true, Tetsuya? That you knew our names."
Kuroko nodded.
"Yet, you gave those nicknames to us?" he asked again.
Kuroko nodded again.
Aomine twitched. "You—!"
"Aominecchi! Calm down," Kise said. "Moreover, Kuroko — right? Why are you here?"
The boy stared at Kise with his usual blank look and sighed. "I'm the voice actor of Kage in the drama."
"Akachin… Aren't we the five leads that replaced the former ones?" Murasakibara asked, munching his mochi.
"Yeah, Akashi. You suddenly informed us that our schedule had been changed and we're being assigned to be the group of… yakuza in the drama." Midorima frowned.
Akashi smirked as his mismatched eyes met with the Kiseki no Sedai. "Yes, that is correct. I negotiated with the director and he let us, singers from the famous band, to act-casting our voice in the drama."
Each of their eyes twitched. "We can strongly feel that you forced the director to agree..."
Akashi turned his head towards Kuroko. "Well, we are new to voice acting. So you, as a veteran at this..."
Kuroko waited as Akashi continued.
"We would like some guidance from you, Tetsuya."
OMAKE; Alternate version, lol. Aomine's misfortune.
After Kuroko and the others had left, the Kiseki no Sedai stayed where they are.
Everyone didn't dare to speak.
"Ryouta, I can understand." Akashi suddenly started. Kise flinched slightly at the mention of his name. "He wore piercings after all."
Kise released his breath, So he's talking about those nicknames...
"Atsushi... I do not need to say anything about that."
Murasakibara nodded, humming.
Akashi chuckled, "Carrot, I...can understand a bit."
Midorima protested. "Akashi! You-"
The red headed ignored him, "Daiki..."
...
..
"You brought those magazines without my permission, again?"
Aomine gulped, "Akashi, you knew?!"
He merely rolled his hetero eyes, "Of course, I am absolute after all." Akashi said. "For bringing those, I will double your menu of voicing expression."
"At least my nickname isn't a sexually air headed, corrected as red headed." Aomine growled.
...
..
SNIP!
"MY HAIR, MY FREAKING HAIR, AKASHI!" The tanned yelled loudly. "What's that for?!"
Akashi glared, "Triple."
"What?! You shorty-!"
Akashi threw his scissors at him. "Quadruple."
"Fuck!"
"Make that quintuple."
OMAKE 2; Kise's unfortunate Magazine Cover.
The blond pouted. "If he knew my name and the others' names, then why did he have to give us those weird nicknames?" he whined.
"Ne, isn't that Kise Ryouta?!"
"KYAA! He's so hot..but why is he talking to himself?"
"More like whining!"
"Ooh! I can't believe I just saw the Kise Ryouta WHINING!"
"Camera, camera! I need to upload this in Youtube and report it to the magazine!"
Then, the magazine's article and cover was about Kise Ryouta whining and talking to himself. And Youtube's video.
Kise received quite punishment from the Kiseki no Sedai-more likely, Akashi Seijuro
