Shirou-kun: I apologize for not updating as soon as I could. My computer has started to show up problems such as not opening FF's site at all. No matter how much I restart my computer or refresh it just won't open. I have my friend Loke here to help me with updating. Loke will be updating for the time being or until I get the site working again. Again, I am sorry for the late update. –bows-

Tetsuki…

A voice echoes in like a whisper. A voice she recognizes, it's so familiar and warm yet it hurts her so much. She doesn't want to listen to it. She wants it to go away.

Tetsuki, you are…-

"Tet-chan!"

Tetsuki flinched and flew her eyes open. She was panting and sweating clinging onto Takao's shirt. Himuro was looking worriedly at Tetsuki as he had his hands places on each side of her shoulders.

"Tetsuki, are you okay?" Himuro asked in a voice filled with worry.

It took a moment to process everything in her head. Why was Takao here? What was going on?

'What happen? Oh right, Na-chan came over for a sleep over after the match with the bullies.' She looked around to see that she was in her room. 'So it was a dream.'

"Tet-chan?"

"Little duck?"

They both called out. Tetsuki then remembered that Himuro had asked her a question. She nodded and smiled brightly. Kagami appeared in Tetsuki's doorway while yawing and scratching the back of his head.

"Morning," he grunted. He looked at the scene infront of him. Himuro was on the bed, over Tetsuki and Tetsuki clinging on Takao as if her life depended her. Well, that is how Kagami saw it.

'Crap,' Himuro thought.

"Tatsuya! What the FUCK are you doing!?" Kagami gasped.

Takao took a hint that Kagami was getting the wrong idea and he was utterly confused. She decided, "Kagami-kun! Himuro-kun is attaking the poor Tet-chan while she was sleeping!"

Tetsuki was surprised at Takao's sudden nonsense and Himuro looked at Takao with disbelief. Kagami… Well, being the Bakagami as always he had the stupidest look on his face before he had a very serious face.

"Tatsuya! You bastard!" Kagami cursed.

"Taiga! She is lying! LYING!" Himuro tried to reason.

Kagami stomped in the bedroom and dragged Himuro by the back of his shirt's collar. Himuro saw the smirk on Takao's face. It was the face of victory that Himuro hated so much. Takao pulled Tetsuki into a tighter hug by the waist. Seconds later, Himuro is out of the sight of the girls. Tetsuki glanced at Takao who was smiling brightly. She laid her cheek on Tetsuki's head.

"Sorry, I wanted to be together with my new friend alone," she said "you see, it's my first time having a girl friend so I treasure my time with you, Tetsuki." Tetsuki brightly smiled and nodded in understanding. She hugged Takao back. Takao smiled just as bright but there was a glint of worry in her eyes. She wondered what could Tetsuki possibly dreamed of but she decided to let it slide.

Tetsuki felt really sad that Takao was leaving rather early. Tetsuki being stubborn she was kept on tugging on Takao's sleeves and looked at her with hopeful eyes. Later got scolded by Kagami about how Takao was going to be late to meet her family. Her family needed her at home. It couldn't be helped. They promised to have another sleepover again which Himuro strongly refused.

Kagami went out to buy some school supplies while Himuro stayed at home with Tetsuki. Tetsuki was relaxing and reading a book under the shade of the tree in the garden while Himuro was taking care of the flowers. It was sunny and breezy day. Himuro cut some unwanted branch and pulled out unwanted weeds. He turned to look at Tetsuki as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Tetsuki, do you want to go out for dinner?"

Tetsuki looked up from her book and stared at Himuro's eyes. Himuro could tell that she was thinking before she nodded after some time.

"Let's go to a family restaurant. Kagami wanted to eat meat for some time now," he suggested. Tetsuki nodded again with a small smile.

Timeskip

"Taiga, you're eating a lot…"

Himuro was looking at the piles of plates that were sitting beside the beast. Tetsuki was sipping on her café au lait. She looked at Kagami who was devouring the meat he kept on ordering. She could feel the attention her dear friend was attracting. She pulled her phone out and typed, "Muro-kun, I'm going out for a bit."

"Do you want me to keep you company?"

"No, I'll be around here. If it gets too cold I'll come in again."

"Okay, don't wonder away," Himuro said and gave Tetsuki a small peck on her cheek. They heard loud squeals and disappointing grunts.

Tetsuki gave Himuro a tight hug before leaving. She was walking around and saw the nostalgic playground she used to walk through with them. She sat down on the bench near the sandbox. The playground consisted of a sandbox, climbing bars and an octopus. Small memories played in her mind. When her tanned skinned blue haired friend walked her home because she sprained her ankle or when the titan purple haired was pouting and drawing circle on the sandbox because teacher confiscated his snacks for eating in class, when her blond model was following her around because he had made her upset, when her tsundere friend came to give her notes because she missed school due to her being sick, when the bloody red haired had asked her out in the middle on the playground.

Tetsuki wipes her tears away as she looks up to see small stars shining brightly. It was as if they were mocking her or showing off their happiness.

"Tetsuki," she heard. She turned her head to look at the owner of the voice. Himuro was walking up to her with Kagami holding his huge stomach.

"Let's go home. We have to go to school tomorrow." Tetsuki nodded and walked towards her cousin. Himuro wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her close and gave her a peck on her temple. She smiled brightly and hugged Himuro tightly to show him how happy she was. Himuro holds her hand lightly tugs her hand and they walk home. Himuro wasn't as oblivious as Tetsuki. He knew someone was watching them as they walked away from the playground.

"Little duck, will you apply me for basketball? I have to go see the principal when I get there," Himuro asked.

Tetsuki nodded.

Kagami Taiga stepped in the school ground of Seirin and immediately ran to apply for basketball ditching the invisible teal haired girl. Her vibrated in her pocket which she took out. It was a text message from Takao.

[From] Takao Nari

[To] Tet-chan

[Subj] ^^

Have a nice day in school~!

-END-

Tetsuki smiled as she shoved her phones back into the pocket. She briskly walked through the crowd to look for the basketball stand. When she found her friend Kagami writing down his application form. She stood beside him.

She waved her hand a bit to get the attention of her seniors but no avail. She sighed inwardly.

'I wish I could control my presence…' she thought.

She took two forms. When she was done with them, she left them on the corner of the table and left. Kagami who had finished at the same time, was walking with her to the classroom (which he probably didn't notice). Kagami always took his time when writing Japanese.

She tugged at Kagami's sleeve. Kagami stopped walking and turned around. He stared at Tetsku for a moment before he yelled.

"Kuroko! Teme, stop scaring me like that!" I'll seriously have a heart attack!" he reprimanded her. Tetsuki silently giggled and pulled Kagami the opposite of the way he was going.

"Oh, Was I going the wrong way?" he asked as if he read what was going on. Tetsuki nodded and finally entered the classroom with Kagami. Kagami was glad that Tetski would always be there when he needed someone the most.

After the introductions (Tetsuki almost got skipped) the classes started. Kagami was getting impatient. He wanted to run to the basketball gym. It was a long day for Kagami. When the last bell ran Kagami grabbed his bag and bolted out, leaving his chair on the floor and his desk misplaced. The teacher sighed and dismissed the class.

Tetsuki got her stuff ready and decided to fix the chair and desk for her dear friend. After she fixed it she heard some knocks. She flipped her head to see Himuro leaning on the doorframe.

"Taiga bolted out?" he asked. Tetsuki nodded.

"As expected from the basketball idiot." Tetsuki smiled in agreement. Tetsuki grabbed her bag and ran over to Himuro. He took her bag and swung it over his shoulder. He grabbed Tetsuki's band and started to pull her to the basketball gym.

"Come on. We will be late if we don't hurry."

Tetsuki nodded excitedly. She will be playing basketball with a new team that hopefully wouldn't turn out like them.

A girl with brown hair was scanning through the new team members' naked upper torso. This was no other than Aida Riko.

"Wh-why does she want our shirts off?" Furihata asked awkwardly.

The raven haired glasses, Junpei Hyuuga, smiles and answers, "She is scanning the player's weakness and where he has to improve. She knows by only looking." Riko started pointing out each player's weakness and what he should do to improve them until she saw Kagami. She became utterly speechless.

'What a perfect condition! I mean who is this guy?!' she screamed in her mind. She was almost drooling as she was admiring Kagami's toned muscles.

"Riko! What are you doing?" Hyuuga snapped her out of her daydream.

"Oh right sorry," she checked her list and read out," Kuroko Tetsuki and Himuro Tatsuya. Is Kuroko-kun and Himuro-kun here?" There was silence.

"I guess they will be skipping today… And here I was looking forward on meeting Kuroko-kun…": she sighed in disappointment.

"Ah! Sorry, we're late!" a male voice rose and Riko turned around to see the tall raven.

"Kuroko-kun?" She asked with happiness.

"Ah no, I'm Himuro Tatsuya. She is here too," he answered.

"She?" She looked around him but it was certain that he was alone. Himuro pulled Tetsuki out from his back. She stepped in front of him and slightly bowed then held out a big piece of paper. Everyone read, "Good afternoon, I am Kuroko Tetsuki."

Meanwhile with Takao Nari.

She was dribbling the ball as she ran to the hoop. She skillfully avoided all counter attacks and defenses and jumped to throw the ball. It went right through hoop.

"Yata~!" She cheered as she punched the air victoriously.

"Dammit, the girl is good," said a player. They were all surrounding the girl and giving her compliments. Takao was happy and laughed as she got a playful punch on her arm.

"Everyone gather around I want to introduce a new team!" the coach called out. Everyone hovered over and looked at the new player.

"He is Midorima Shintarou, he is from Teiko and one of Generation of Miracles. Treat him well," The coach introduced. Takao inspected the played carefully. He had hair green, glasses, and orange. He kind of reminded her of…

"You…" Takao gasped as her eyes widened.

"Huh?" he responded.

"….. A CARROT?! PWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" she started laughing while pressing a hand on her stomach and pointing at him. Everyone was startled at her sudden bomb of laughter. Some started to snicker understanding what she meant. Midorima got flustered and annoyed and yelled, "What's so funny-nanodayo?!" but it didn't help him at all. She only laughed harder.

"HAHAHAHA! NA-NANODA-DAYO! HAHAHAHA! T-The carro-ot!" she gasped out.

"What are you laughing about-nanodayo!?" he yelled frustrated." The girl kept on laughing as she bended slightly down while waving her hand as if saying it was nothing.

"Takao, what are you laughing about?" the coach asked completely confused. Takao tried to calm down. She was now crounching down on the floor. Suddenly a phone starts ringing a song. Takao immediately stops laughing and picks up her phone with a wide smile.

"Tet-chan?" She sang the nickname.

'Tet-chan?' Everyone asked themselves. They could see that her shining aura suddenly collapsed and it was replaced with a very scary dark aura.

"What do you want? Where's Tet-chan?" she demanded.

"Oh right, I forgot she can't talk… Eh a sleepover? Sure~! I'll be there~!" she said as her shining aura appeared again. Everyone sweat-dropped. Takao skipped to her stuff and gathered them together.

"Bye bye~ I have to go now!" she said cheerfully.

She glanced at Midorima and snorted.

"See ya later Carrot-man~!" she ran out. Finally understanding why she was laughing he roared, "My name is Midorima Shintarou- nanodayo!"
