Shirou-kun: Hello Minna-san. Rio-nee won't be able to update for the other two weeks because of school. I'd like to tell some simple things about this update.

"Talking"

"Texting"(used by Tetsuki)

"Thinking"

Tetsuki at last convinced her cousin that she would not attend the graduation ceremony. As she expected, she wasn't ready to see the one she loved the most. I couldn't take the image of him when she saw him. Himuro was convinced enough and let her be for the time being.

It was a Saturday when Tetsuki decided she would go out for a vanilla milkshake. She wore a light blue cardigan, white blouse, blue jeans and of course her leather pouch. Feeling excited that Kagami (FIANLLY) would let her have her vanilla milkshake, she ran downstairs only to notice Himuro was walking through her way. Tetsuki panicked but could not stop her pace. Himuro looked up and to the rushed footstep and saw Tetsuki with her panicked face unable to stop. He turned to face Tetsuki and smiled while opening his arms wide inviting her into a big hug. As expected, Tetsuki had tackled Himuro into the ground. She felt guilt and anxious rush up in her veins and sat up to see a laughing Himuro.

"I didn't know you loved me that much, little duck," he chuckled and hold her tighter.

Tetsuki quickly took her phone out, "Tatsuya should have move! You could have gotten hurt!"

"But what are you talking about?" he said and stroke her hair. Tetsuki relaxed as she felt Himuro's long slender finger brushing her hair gently. "You wanted a hug from me so badly, right?"

"Muro-kun is making a fool himself…"

Tetsuki got off from Himuro and helped him up. She gave him a tight hug before giving him a peck on the cheek.

"I'm heading out now." Himuro only nodded and watched her. He couldn't go with Tetsuki because he and Kagami had to go to Seirin and summit in their papers before they completely forget. Kagami had first strongly denied to Tetsuki going out alone but Himuro had convinced him that girl sometimes need their time and space. Kagami felt defeated and reluctantly left Tetsuki go.

Tetsuki ran out and happily went straight to Maji Burger. She could have her personal time to do what she wanted to do without her cousin and her best friend beside her. They would always stick near her wherever she went when she finally was discharged of the hospital. Tetsuki turned the corner to collide into someone. Before she fell into the floor she felt her wrist being gripped and pulled up her away from the floor and instead was met into a tight hug.

"Are you okay?" she heard a feminine voice. She looked up to see a beautiful woman with worried sharp grayish blue eyes and long hair that was tied up. Tetsuki nodded to assure her. The lady wiped her worried face away and smiled widely at Tetsuki.

"It was partly my fault you almost fell so let me treat you something you want," she offered. Tetsuki's eyes sparkled and grabbed the lady's hand into a tight hold. She started rushing to Maji Burger. Today was the best day for Tetsuki. She was allowed to go outside and was able to get her favorite drink… FREE!

The lady who was being dragged was taken aback by the sudden change of the little lady's facial emotion. First she didn't even smile or showed any kind of emotion and now she was showing her bright aura with flowers everywhere. Before she knew it she in Maji Burger in front of the cashier. She noticed that the little lady had what she wanted and was currently sipping at it. She paid for and they both went to take a sit. The lady took her time to look over the little lady. She had teal long hair that reached until her hips with matching sky blue eyes with long eyes lashes and perfect shaped eyebrows. Her rosy lips showed off beautifully on that pale skin. The tall lady was kind of jealous of the little girl's natural beauty. Maybe her name is just as beautiful as she is… Wait speaking about names.

"Oh! How rude of me. I'm Takao Nari. What's yours?"

She saw the little saw take her phone out of the pouch and type something. Immediately the little girl showed her phone to Takao.

"I'm Kuroko Tetsuki. It's nice meeting your Takao-san." Takao was right. Tetsuki sounded beautiful. Takao later felt weird. Were they going to have a conversation like this? But she decided to avoid the conversation because it might be a delicate topic so instead she said, "Eh~ please don't call me that, it makes me sound old! Why don't we do this, I'll call you Tet-chan and you can call me Na-chan?"

Tetsuki was hesitating because it might be rude but Takao suggested it herself so she didn't see why not.

"Very well, Na-chan. I'm sorry that we will have our conversations like this."

"Don't worry about it, but I'd love to be good friends with you!" she said cheerfully. Tetsuki never had friends outside of basketball (meaning GoM) and Kagami was an exception. Tetsuki smiled at her new friend. Finally she was able to make a friend without any help. She was delighted with her progress. She slightly smiled which was rather hidden but Takao could tell that was immensely happy by looking in her eyes. Takao herself couldn't help but smile as well. Tetsuki's happiness is contagious.

"Tet-chan, would you like to come with me to the street basketball court?" Takao suddenly asked.

"Does Na-chan like basketball too?" Tetsuki asked surprised. She never thought that they may have same interest.

"Of course I like basketball! It's a fun game to play with friends!"

Tetsuki nodded in agreement. They both stood up from their sits and headed to the playground that was near the basketball court. They stood there awed by the players. All players had fun and had big smiles on their faces. Even if they lost they didn't care because they still had fun and did their best. Tetsuki wanted that. She hoped she could get what they had. Takao, after watching the games intently, looked over at Tetsuki to make sure she was having fun. Tetsuki was smiling but her eyes showed a hint of sadness.

"Tetsuki!"

A sudden call perked the girls' ears. They looked behind them to see Himuro and Kagami coming towards them. Himuro was happily waving at her beloved cousin. He never thought that he would meet her after the long trip to Seirin. Kagami was holding bags, probably from the convenience store.

"Tetsuki! I didn't know you were coming here," Himuro said with a wide smile. Tetsuki smiled back at him and pulled Takao beside her to introduce her.

"What would you like for dinner, little duck?" Himuro doesn't seem to have noticed Takao anyway. Kagami smacks Himuro with the bag he is holding in his left hand.

"Tatsuya, that's being rude to the lady next to Tetsuki!"

"Oh… Oh, I'm sorry, my eyes were only concentrated Tetsuki didn't notice you there. I'm Himuro Tatsuya and he is Kagami Taiga."

Takao was dumbfounded but after a second she laughed so hard at how ridiculously Himuro had only eyes for Tetsuki.

"Hahaha! It's okay. I'm Takao Nari, Tetsuki's friend~!" she announced. Himuro processed what Takao said slowly in his head before his eyes changed in a serious look and pulled Tetsuki away from Takao. He wrapped his arms around Tetsuki's waist and tightened his hold.

"Tetsuki, you didn't tell me you had friend…" he sulked but it was obvious in Takao's eyes that he was jealous. Of what? She wasn't sure.

"I met her just today"

"So you rather spend your time with her than your beloved cousin?"

"Stop acting like a spoiled brat!" Kagami said while pulling Tatsuya off Tetsuki. Takao couldn't stop laughing at the interaction. She finally understood that Tatsuya wanted to keep Tetsuki for himself but Takao too, wanted the adorable petite girl for herself as well but might as well tease Himuro.

"Oi, what's going on over there?" Kagami interrupted the conversation and pointed at a group that were kicking someone on the ground. They stared for a while not knowing what was happening. Tetsuki's anger burned to her limit and started to walk to the crowd. She knew they were bullying the poor victim. Tatsuya and Kagami quickly followed Tetsuki worried that she might get hurt and Takao followed. Tetsuki pushed the tall guy who almost laid a punch on the wounded victim.

"What the fuck?" he cursed and glared down at Tetsuki but she didn't budge and glared back at him.

"Little miss, you better go to your little groupie if you don't want to get hurt." Tetsuki kept glaring at him. She noticed the basketball that was lying beside the hurt victim and she picked it up. She looked at Kagami and Tatsuya with her serious cold eyes as if to send them a message which they understood.

"How about we play with you guys?" Kagami asked with a large smirk in his face.

"Oh I wanna play!" Takao butted in.

"Make sure you don't get hurt, Tetsuki," Tatsuya reminded Tetsuki and she nodded.

The bullies laughed their butt off and looked at Tetsuki.

"She is going to play? Oh please, the little miss should just watch while waiting there in the bench."

Tetsuki's anger was bubbling and was about to throw the ball into his face but Takao stopped her before saying, "Are you scared what she is capable of? Is that why you are sending her away?" she smirked. They bullies shrugged and positioned themselves and so did the opponent.

Today Takao had experience something incredible and new, something she never saw in her life.

Shirou-kun: I hope this update wasn't boring. I just wanted to introduce Takao into the story before I completely forget. If you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to leave a review. Please review this update I'd like to see my progress.
