So here is a new story! I love Kuroko No Basuke, so I wanted to write something for it! So, Kagami will start off male, and then turn female, for those who are wondering or needed clarification. And I have no idea what is going on with Kagami's mom, so I will be making it up. Same goes for his dad. And away we go!
Finally, school was done for the school year at Seiren High School. For now, there were only remedial classes and some summer clubs. One such club was the Basketball Club, which had won the Winter Cup that year. They were all happy they had won against all of the members of the Generations of Miracles, but they knew better than to get cocky. The fact that they won meant that everyone was going to be improving rapidly in order to beat them.
Currently, the Seirin Basketball Club was just finishing practice, everyone getting back into their normal clothes in order to head home for the afternoon. Well, almost everyone. A certain Kagami Taiga had promised to meet with a certain Aomine Daiki so the two could play some one-on-one. Kagami still lost in a one-on-one against Aomine, but he was definitely improving from how he played before.
"Kagami-kun, are you sure you should be playing after practice?" asked the shadow player, Kuroko Tetsuya.
"Yea, I'll be fine. I'll beat him for sure this time!" Kagami's eyes were ablaze with determination.
"That's what you said last time, Bakagami, and you had your ass handed to you." The captain of Seirin, Hyuuga Junpei, hid a smirk as Kagami's eye twitched and his hands clenched into fists.
"I really WILL this time!"
Kiyoshi Teppei only laughed, before walking by Kagami, patting him on the head with his hands. "That's the spirit! Well, I'll see you all later." Everyone said their goodbyes, waving as they left the gym. They had actually been practicing at a gym the couch's father's gym, the couch being Aida Riko of course.
All the way to the outside court he promised to meet Aomine at, Kagami grumbled and mumbled to himself. "I know I can beat him. I know I can. I just need to practice more. And what better way than to study the enemy up close and personal?" Kagami was so engrossed in his thinking that he hardly noticed he had arrived, bumping into something, or rather someone.
Kagami stumbled back, before looking at who he bumped into. It was Aomine.
"Oi, Bakagami! Look where you walk, will ya?"
Kagami's eye twitched, but he simply put his bag on the bench, taking off his team jacket. "Maybe if you weren't in my way I wouldn't have a need to, Ahomine!"
"Haaa? Whatever! Let's play! I've been waiting here for twenty minutes before you showed up." Aomine turned around, dribbling the ball onto the court.
"Well, I'm sorry! Some of us actually go to practice when we should." Kagami walked onto the court, all other argument lost as he got ready to play.
Without them even realizing, a few hours had passed, the sun starting to set.
"Aw, crap. Now I have to go all the way home! I'm too hungry for that!" As if on cue, Aomine's stomach growled.
Sighing, Kagami grabbed his bag. "Come on, I'll cook you some dinner. It's the least I can do for you practicing with me all the time."
"You? Cook? How about you treat me to Maji's instead?" Aomine grabbed his own bag, slinging it on his shoulder as he followed Kagami.
"Hey! I can cook. You like teriyaki burgers, right?"
"I don't just like them, I love them. They are third to basketball and then Mai-chan's breasts." Kagami could only shake his head at the pervert next to him.
"Just come with me to the store so I can get everything we need to make dinner, and I'll blow your mind with my food. This is one area I KNOW I can beat you!"
"Hmph! We'll just have to see." The two then proceeded to the store, buying everything they needed. Aomine was surprised when Kagami bought potatoes. Kagami seeing this, simply said, "I'm making homemade fries to go with them."
Once they bought everything, they headed to Kagami's place. Along the way, Aomine called home, letting his parents know he was eating at a friend's house. "Shouldn't you call your parents and let them know you are bringing someone home and that you are making dinner?"
"Huh? You don't know? I live alone. My dad and I were going to live here together, but something came up back at the office in America, so he had to stay there. So I have the place to myself."
Aomine frowned a little. "Don't you get lonely? And what about your mom?"
"I didn't know her. She passed away when I was, like, one, so I don't know much about her. And dad doesn't like to talk about her too much. He is a really emotional person, so it'll be a few more years until he can talk about her to me. But I don't mind. He has been an awesome dad. And I don't get too lonely. Alex likes to stop by unannounced and stay for a few days, so its whatever."
"Alex?" Aomine asked. He didn't think he knew an 'Alex.'
"My basketball coach from America. She was the blonde that came to the games with me on many occasions during the Winter Cup."
"That woman? Dude, how old is she? She is hot!" Aomine would never admit that he had one or two wet dreams with her in them.
"Don't even try it. She is definitely older than us. She was already out of college when I met her. She had recently had to quit the WNBA because of her eyes. Plus…I would never leave you alone with her." Kagami sent a smirk to Aomine, who could be seen slightly pouting.
"Whatever. Are we almost to your place, I'm hungry."
Kagami chuckled. "Yea, we just need to go up these stairs and then we are there." Kagami led the way, pulling out his keys and opening the door, motioning for Aomine to go inside. "Welcome to my place. Put your bag where ever, as long as it's not in the way. Bathroom is down the hall, second door on the right. I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything. Shut the door as soon as you take your jaw off the floor."
Aomine's jaw was certainly on the floor. His apartment was spacious for one person to live in, and surprisingly very clean. He had expected to find things everywhere, and a small, one room apartment. But this was not that. He closed the door while still ogling, putting his bag by the door. Once he heard Kagami start to fix things in the kitchen, he went and leaned on the counter, looking through the opening that showed the kitchen to the living room.
"What does your dad do in order for him to be able to pay the rent here and in America? And feed your bottomless pit of a stomach." Aomine was genuinely curious. Not many people knew about Kagami. The only people being Himuro Tatsuya, his kinda brother, and maybe Kuroko. But even that didn't seem likely. Kagami wasn't the type to tell people about his private life.
"I don't know too much about it. I think he is the vice president of some large company in America. I think he was going to take over the Japan Branch, but they needed him back in America, so he stayed there. I also think he worked as that President's secretary. But I don't care too much about it. I just play basketball." While talking, Kagami had lined up everything that he would need to cook the feast he was planning on making.
Bored of watching Kagami at work, Aomine went to the couch, picking up the remote, looking for something on. He couldn't find anything and was about to ask Kagami if he had any movies, but the two-toned red head was ahead of him. "The shelf behind you has the movies if nothing is on. I also have some NBA games. Alex would record them and send them to me so I can watch how the teams are doing."
'All he thinks about are food, sleep and basketball. Well, I'll have to see if I can get his mind somewhere else.' Aomine was smirking at the plans he was making In order to make Kagami uncomfortable.
After picking a movie, Aomine put it in the DVD player. Just when he was about to skip the preview, a heavenly smell filled his nostrils. Standing up, he followed the scent to the kitchen. He was Kagami frying hamburger patties, while at the same time sautéing some onions in another pan. From the oven, the smell of the backed fries mingled with the rest of the scents. Aomine's mouth started to water.
"Are they almost done?" he asked, not intending to scare the man wearing the apron.
Kagami gasped, jumping up a little, before turning to glare at Aomine, who was holding his hand over his mouth to stifle his laughter that begged to be release. "If you laugh, so help me I will tie you down and make you watch me eat all of these." That sobered the blue haired player up. He wanted to eat them. "And to answer your question, yes. These are the last ones. Could you get plates and silverware out? The plates are in the cupboard to the right of the sink, the silverware in the drawer below it. Oh, and there are drinks in the fridge. Pick what you want. Cups are in the cupboard to the left."
Aomine did as he was told. Since Bakagami asked so nicely, he figured he should help. Plus, if his mom found out he didn't help, and she somehow would, she would give him a smack to the back of his head.
Finally, the food was done. Kagami plated the food, which consisted of a teriyaki burger, oven backed fries, and a balsamic vinaigrette salad. They sat on the couch, deciding they wanted to watch the movie. But before that…
"So? What do you think?" Kagami was trying to hide his worry. He rarely made teriyaki burgers, so he was a little nervous they would be bad.
Aomine picked up the burger, bringing it to his lips. He took a huge bite out of it. The reaction was instantaneous. Aomine started to basically inhale the burger. When he was done with it, he grabbed another from the pile on the coffee table.
"You need to turn into a girl and become my wife. If this is how you always cook, I would be living in heaven!" He took a bit out of the next burger, this time taking his time to really savor the food.
"A-Aho! Who would want to be your wife? And why would I have to be the girl?" Aomine saw a slight blush on Kagami's cheeks.
"Oh? Does this subject embarrass you? I think you would make a cute girl. Plus, your cooking is a gift from God."
"Wh-Whatever. Just press play on the movie and eat your damn food." Aomine did so, but only after letting a small chuckle leave his lips.
By the time the movie was over, they were done eating. They had polished off the burgers and fries, leaving only a little salad in the bottom of the bowl. Kagami put the dishes in the sink, deciding he would wash them tomorrow. Kagami looked at the clock, seeing how late it was.
"Hey, Ahomine. I think it might be too late for you to go home. Do you think your parents would mind if you stayed the night? I have a spare room, and we are basically the same size."
"Let me give them a call." Aomine took his cell phone to the hall. While that happened, someone knocked on Kagami's door. 'Who could it be this late at night?' He looked out the little viewer, seeing Alex and Tatsuya standing at the door. He opened the door for them, motioning them to come inside. Alex refused, though.
"I only came by to give you this new juice by boyfriend in the States made. He said that he wanted someone to try it, and since you have the better stomach out of all of us, I figured you should. Plus, you know good tasting food." Alex handed him a little bottle filled with a blue liquid.
"And you came all this way to give it to me?" Kagami was getting a little suspicious.
"No, we were actually nearby, since we are staying at my parent's house at the moment. We went shopping for some ice cream, and Alex knew you lived around here. And we bought you some ice cream too. Here. A whole gallon of mint chip." Tatsuya brought it out of the bag, holding in front of him. When Kagami went to grab it, it was taken away. "Drink the juice first."
Begrudgingly, Kagami took the top off of the drink before smelling it. It smelled like blue raspberry jolly ranchers. Taking a drink of it, he smiled. It tasted like blue raspberry jolly ranchers too. "This is really good! You guys should try it." The other two only shook their heads. "More for me then!" Kagami downed the rest of it before handing the bottle back to Alex.
"So, how do you feel? Anything feel different?" Alex asked.
Kagami furrowed his brows. "No. Why, should I?
"No no. The thing is that he is a scientist, so I was afraid he might have put something weird into it. But no worries. Well, I'll talk to you later. Here's your ice cream." With that, Alex and Tatsuya left. As Kagami closed the door, Aomine came up behind him.
"Who was that? And my parents said okay to me spending the night. They would prefer I did that."
"Awesome. And it was Alex and Tatsuya. But never mind that, I have ice cream!" The two went to the kitchen, grabbing spoons and eating straight from the tub.
After another movie, the two decided it was time for bed. Kagami lent Aomine some pajamas, before going to his own bed.
'I feel like tomorrow is going to be a strange day…Oh well. My instincts have been wrong before.' With that last thought, Kagami went to sleep, dreaming of strange things.
BAM! Done with chapter one. And that cliff hanger. Don't worry, the dream will be told next chapter, but you all have to wait. So, read, review, let me know what you think~!
